David Medberry b6d4176b97 Removing archaic references
This document was originally imported from Nova. Removing some of the
old references to Quickstart and Hypervisors.

http://docs.openstack.org/developer/cinder/devref/development.environment.html
has a dangling link to a ../quickstart document (removed long ago.)

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!
