Sean McGinnis 14f378a580 Docs: remove todo list generation
We had an extension for pulling out todo information from our docs. This
doesn't appear to have ever really been used though. Only a couple todo items
were published to the Cinder documentation, and the two published appear to
be extremely old.

Since this isn't really used and could just cause confusion, removing this
from the index page and removing the sphinx extension used to generate it.

Building the docs

Dependencies

Sphinx

You'll need sphinx (the python one) and if you are using the virtualenv you'll need to install it in the virtualenv specifically so that it can load the cinder modules.

pip install Sphinx
Graphviz

Some of the diagrams are generated using the dot language from Graphviz.

sudo apt-get install graphviz

Use make

Just type make:

% make

Look in the Makefile for more targets.

Manually

  1. Generate the code.rst file so that Sphinx will pull in our docstrings:

    % ./generate_autodoc_index.sh > source/code.rst
  2. Run `sphinx_build`:

    % sphinx-build -b html source build/html

Use tox

The easiest way to build the docs and avoid dealing with all dependencies is to let tox prepare a virtualenv and run the build_sphinx target inside the virtualenv:

% cd ..
% tox -e docs

The docs have been built

Check out the build directory to find them. Yay!
