Of course when Vasileios will write a chapter of documentation
in .rst it will be available, but then clicking the references to
relevant classes will not work.
Question is: how do we solve that?
It just needs to turn on that feature either explicitely in pipeline
config (cmake .... PB_enabled=ON) or implicitely by changing the default
in CmakeLists.txt.
A separate concern, for another discussion is including them into a
debian pacakage release, because it will bring some dependencies with
it. Which might be difficult to deal with, especially given our bad
experience with CGAL. Personally I would prefer that we split yade
into more debian packages, based on their dependencies, like:
yade-cgal-dep, - parts of yade that depend on CGAL
yade-coinor-dep, - parts of yade that depend on coinor i.e. PotentialBlocks
yade-escript-dep, - parts of yade that depend on python-escript, i.e. FEMxDEM
yade-fft-dep - (future) parts of yade that depend on libfftw (quantum
mechanics)
I see no real interest in splitting since the problems we will face are
exactly the same.
If we know how to package yade-cgal-dep properly then we know how
package yadedaily (or any yade-stable) with CGAL. There is no difference.
If we don't know how to package yade-cgal-dep, then we must turn the
feature off in yade as well.
More deb packages would help if there were conflicts such that, e.g.,
coinor and escript couldn't be installed together. I don't think it is
the case here.
So the only advantage would be to minimize disk usage for installing the
basic yade version, not a real issue.
The price would be more maintainance and branch management, thus I'm not
a big fan.
In order to build documentation without implying package dependency a
solution could be use "#ifdef YADE_POTENTIAL_BLOCKS" more selectively,
i.e. make it guard only the parts of implementation which really depends
on external dependencies. Then the interface would be compiled
regardless of feature activation.
