CouchDB Docs

This repo include DocBook source for Apache CouchDB API docs and release guides.

Requirements

In order to build the documentation you need the following Perl modules installed:

Carp File::Basename Getopt::Long IO::File Module::Load; Module::Util XML::Parser::PerlSAX Image::Info DateTime

To use the publishing system, you need the following Perl modules:

Archive::Zip Cwd File::Rsync

In short:

$ [sudo] cpan -i Carp File::Basename IO:File Module::Load Module::Util XML::Parser::PerlSAX Image::Info Archive::Zip Cwd File::Rsync DateTime

Format Requirements

To actually build the target formats and assemble the documentation, you also need:

xsltproc (http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/downloads.html) FOP 1.x (http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/) Zip GNU make

Building

You can build all of the available documentation (in the respective formats) from the top level of the repository using:

$ make everything

If you want to make a specific document (in all formats), change to the directory and make everything:

$ cd couchdb-manual/
$ make everything

To make a specific format for a specific document, change to the directory and specify the target. For example, to make a PDF of the couchbase-api document:

$ cd couchdb-manual
$ make couchbase-api.pdf

Publishing

Publishing of the documentation creates and assembles the correct documentation and bundles ready for distribution/download.

Then, from the top level of the main CouchDocs repo:

$ make publish

The process also creates an index file (index.html), and copies the configured documents into the directory specified in the Makefile (PUBLISH_DIR)
