Contribute Documentations

Getting Started

Install the sphinx documentation generator and ansi2html software https://github.com/ralphbean/ansi2html

For example, on a debian-based system:

sudo apt-get install python-sphinx python-sphinx-rtd-theme

Install aha:

sudo apt -y install aha

Clone the documentation project:

git clone https://github.com/opensvc/docs.opensvc.com.git

Step into the cloned project directory:

cd docs.opensvc.com

Modify the documentation source files (.rst located in the sources directory), and then use the Makefile to build the html documentations:

make clean ; make osvc

Once the build is done, all html files can be found in the docs.opensvc.com/build/html folder.

Command Line Output Coloring

When producing command line output, it is expected to follow the steps below to preserve colors, so as to provide a better experience for futures readers:

First generate raw html code from cli:

$ om node print devs --color=yes | aha -n

Edit the .rst document and copy/paste the previous output in a .. raw:: html block, enclosed between <pre class=output> and </pre> :

.. raw:: html

    <pre class=output>
        <span style="font-weight: bold">centos71.opensvc.com                        </span>  <span style="font-weight: bold">Type  </span>  <span style="font-weight: bold">Size</span>  <span style="font-weight: bold">Pct of Parent</span>

    </pre>

After building html documentation, the result looks like:

Decorating with sphinx roles

It is recommended to use the sphinx roles below to improve documentation rendering.

As an example for a service, use the syntax:

:c-svc:`svc1`

which will be rendered as svc1

Contribute Translations

Install the sphinx documentation generator.

For example, on a debian-based system:

sudo apt-get install python-sphinx python-sphinx-rtd-theme

Clone the documentation project or your own Github project fork.

git clone https://github.com/opensvc/docs.opensvc.com.git

Step into the cloned project directory:

cd docs.opensvc.com

If starting a new translation, you have to add the new language support to the Makefile. Here are for example the definitions for the french translation you can clone:

html_fr:
        $(SPHINXBUILD) -b html -Dlanguage=fr $(ALLSPHINXOPTS) $(BUILDDIR)/html/fr

po_fr:
        @for pot in `echo $(POT_D)/*.pot` ; do \
        base_pot=`basename $$pot` ; \
        po=$(TRANS_D)/fr/`echo $$base_pot | sed "s/t$$//"` ; \
        echo "merge new strings in $$po" ; \
        touch $$po ; \
        msgmerge -s -U $$po $$pot ; \
        done

mo_fr:
        @for po in `echo $(TRANS_D)/fr/*.po` ; do \
        base_po=`basename $$po` ; \
        mo=$(TRANS_D)/fr/LC_MESSAGES/`echo $$base_po | sed "s/po$$/mo/"` ; \
        echo "gen hash in $$mo" ; \
        msgfmt -c -v -o $$mo $$po ; \
        done

Then plug your new targets in the generic targets:

po: po_fr <your po target>
mo: mo_fr <your mo target>
osvc: html html_fr <your translation target>

Create or refresh the translation files:

make pot po_<your language code>

This last command refreshed the .pot (strings index) and created the .po (translation) files. You can now add your translation in the .po files in source/translated/<your language code>/. Here is an example of translated content:

# 21aa40c7358948d9a69b6813104fd253
# 27fda7e570224a56b6e2631b1c302fd7
#: ../../contribute.rst:57 ../../contribute.rst:91
msgid "Set up :cmd:`msmtp`::"
msgstr "Configuration de :cmd:`msmtp` ::"

Don’t forget to create the directory source/translated/<your language code>/LC_MESSAGES/. Finally, create the .mo (binary translation) and html files with:

make mo_<your language code> html_<your language code>

Note you can see what string miss translating in the output of the mo target. For example:

gen hash in source/translated/fr/LC_MESSAGES/agent.install.mo
82 translated messages, 2 fuzzy translations, 8 untranslated messages.

Verify your translation pointing a web browser to your local directory. When satisfied, git add and git commit your touched files (don’t track the .mo and html files), and submit your commits using the procedures described in the previous chapters.
