* Use variables for minimum host versions and bump Python to 3.6Paul Eggleton2021-04-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Minimum Git, tar, Python and gcc versions are specified in quite a few different places. Let's add some variables for these so there's no chance of missing one if they're updated in future. Additionally, for hardknott the minimum Python version is 3.6 so set that as the value for Python.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The `yocto_wiki` external link directive is modified to include the `/wiki` element of the URL so that we can simplify the links in the text. Note that there are still a couple of places where this directive cannot be used, such as in the table of contents in index.rst.

* sphinx: fix links when the link text should be displayedNicolas Dechesne2020-09-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an hyperlink should be display in the output, there is no need to any specific syntax or marker, the parser finds links and mail addresses in ordinary text. Somehow the conversion from pandoc generated wrong output in the form: ` <link>`__.

* sphinx: fix internal linksNicolas Dechesne2020-09-171-8/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many of the internal links were not converted probably from DocBook using pandoc. After looking at the various patterns, the follow series of 'naive' Python regexp were used to perform some additional automatic conversion. Also, since we rely on built-in glossary, all links to terms need to use the sphinx :term: syntax. This commit is generated using the following Python series of regexp: line = re.sub("`+(\w+)`* <(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#var-\\1>`__", ":term:`\\1`", line) line = re.sub("`+do_([a-z_]+)`* <(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#ref-tasks-\\1>`__", ":ref:`ref-tasks-\\1`", line) line = re.sub("`+([a-z_\-\*\.]+).bbclass`* <(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#ref-classes-\\1>`__", ":ref:`\\1.bbclass <ref-classes-\\1>`", line) line = re.sub("`+([a-z_\-\*\.]+)`* <(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#ref-classes-\\1>`__", ":ref:`\\1 <ref-classes-\\1>`", line) line = re.sub("`Source Directory <(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#source-directory>`__", ":term:`Source Directory`", line) line = re.sub("`Build Directory <(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#build-directory>`__", ":term:`Build Directory`", line) line = re.sub("`Metadata <(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#metadata>`__", ":term:`Metadata`", line) line = re.sub("`BitBake <(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#bitbake-term>`__", ":term:`BitBake`", line) line = re.sub("`Images <(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#ref-images>`__", ":ref:`ref-manual/ref-images:Images`", line) line = re.sub("`Classes <(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#ref-classes>`__", ":ref:`ref-manual/ref-classes:Classes`", line) line = re.sub("`workspace <(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#devtool-the-workspace-layer-structure>`__", ":ref:`devtool-the-workspace-layer-structure`", line) line = re.sub("`Open-?Embedded b?B?uild s?S?ystem <(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#build-system-term>`__", ":term:`OpenEmbedded Build System`", line) line = re.sub("`(OpenEmbedded-Core )?(\(?OE-Core\)? )?<(\&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;)?#oe-core>`__", ":term:`OpenEmbedded-Core (OE-Core)`", line) It won't catch multiline strings, but it catches a very large number of occurences!

* sphinx: initial sphinx supportNicolas Dechesne2020-09-171-0/+418
This commit is autogenerated pandoc to generate an inital set of reST files based on DocBook XML files. A .rst file is generated for each .xml files in all manuals with this command: cd <manual> for i in *.xml; do \ pandoc -f docbook -t rst --shift-heading-level-by=-1 \ $i -o $(basename $i .xml).rst \ done The conversion was done with: pandoc 2.9.2.1-91 (Arch Linux). Also created an initial top level index file for each document, and added all 'books' to the top leve index.rst file. The YP manuals layout is organized as: Book Chapter Section Section Section Sphinx uses section headers to create the document structure. ReStructuredText defines sections headers like that: To break longer text up into sections, you use section headers. These are a single line of text (one or more words) with adornment: an underline alone, or an underline and an overline together, in dashes "-----", equals "======", tildes "~~~~~~" or any of the non-alphanumeric characters = - ` : ' " ~ ^ _ * + # < > that you feel comfortable with. An underline-only adornment is distinct from an overline-and-underline adornment using the same character. The underline/overline must be at least as long as the title text. Be consistent, since all sections marked with the same adornment style are deemed to be at the same level: Let's define the following convention when converting from Docbook: Book => overline === (Title) Chapter => overline *** (1.) Section => ==== (1.1) Section => ---- (1.1.1) Section => ~~~~ (1.1.1.1) Section => ^^^^ (1.1.1.1.1) During the conversion with pandoc, we used --shift-heading-level=-1 to convert most of DocBook headings automatically. However with this setting, the Chapter header was removed, so I added it back manually. Without this setting all headings were off by one, which was more difficult to manually fix. At least with this change, we now have the same TOC with Sphinx and DocBook.
