There are lots of times when it would be convenient to have the
documentation of various spkgs installed in a local or system Sage
installation. For example, it seems that I'm always wishing that I had
that at an airport or on an airplane. At one point a long time ago, we
had an extradocs spkg, but it was never maintained. So here is a proposal:
When building an spkg, if the SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS environment
variable is yes, then the docs are built (if available in the spkg) and
are installed in $SAGE_ROOT/local/share/doc/<SPKG NAME>/
For example, numpy includes the docs with the sources. I'd like to
insert the following at the bottom of the numpy spkg-install:
if [ "x$SAGE_SPKG_INSTALL_DOCS" = xyes ] ; then
cd doc
make html
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Error building numpy."
exit 1
fi
mkdir -p $SAGE_ROOT/local/share/doc/numpy
cp -r build/html $SAGE_ROOT/local/share/doc/numpy
fi
This builds the numpy docs and makes a directory
$SAGE_ROOT/local/share/doc/numpy/html/ that contains the standalone html
documentation for numpy.
Any suggestions or comments?
Thanks,
Jason
