As more software is added to the rumprun-packages repository, there will be
a need to document how to build applications on top of rump kernel
packages. This may include working with web frameworks in Python, Ruby or
PHP. Or it could include advanced configuration of particular daemons that
run on top of rump kernels.
The current rump kernel wikis (https://github.com/rumpkernel/wiki) are
focused on using and building rump kernels, as well as making software run
with rump kernels. In depth detail about specific packages doesn't fit very
well in the existing structure.
What does everyone think about a "Packages Wiki" to provide a single
location for package specific tutorials without cluttering the existing
wiki?
I'd just add a "Packages" category to wiki.rumpkernel.org for
package-specific documentation. It doesn't clutter the current wiki
either, except one extra line in the navigation bar, which IMO, isn't
that big of a clutter. A new category in the wiki, IMO, has two
advantages over a separate wiki for packages
1) all of the documentation for repo.rumpkernel.org is reachable from
the same root
2) switching repo.rumpkernel.org hosting where repo-specific wikis are
not naturally available is not a problem
Maybe the category should have a subformat, e.g. "Packages:
<packagename>: more specific title", where the last bit is optional. I
guess there are plenty of examples with python, python2 vs. python3 and
python packages to see if that works or not.
