This repository contains the RESTful API information for the OpenStack
|
|
Block Storage, also known as Cinder. The Cinder project provides open
|
|
source block-based storage component for cloud computing.
|
|
|
|
For more details, see the `OpenStack Documentation wiki page
|
|
<http://wiki.openstack.org/Documentation>`_.
|
|
|
|
It includes these manuals:
|
|
|
|
* Block Storage Service API v1 Reference
|
|
* Block Storage Service API v2 Reference

|
Prerequisites
|
|
=============
|
|
`Apache Maven <http://maven.apache.org/>`_ must be installed to build the
|
|
documentation.
|
|
|
|
To install Maven 3 for Ubuntu 12.04 and later,and Debian wheezy and later::
|
|
|
|
apt-get install maven
|
|
|
|
On Fedora 15 and later::
|
|
|
|
yum install maven3
|
|
|
|
Building
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
The manuals are in the ``v1`` and ``v2`` directories.
|
|
|
|
To build a specific guide, look for a ``pom.xml`` file within a subdirectory,
|
|
then run the ``mvn`` command in that directory. For example::
|
|
|
|
cd v2
|
|
mvn clean generate-sources
|
|
|
|
The generated PDF documentation file is::
|
|
|
|
api-quick-start/target/docbkx/webhelp/api-quick-start-onepager-external/api-quick-start-onepager.pdf
|
|
|
|
The root of the generated HTML documentation is::
|
|
|
|
api-quick-start/target/docbkx/webhelp/api-quick-start-onepager-external/content/index.html
|
|
|
|
Testing of changes and building of the manual
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
Install the python tox package and run ``tox`` from the top-level
|
|
directory to use the same tests that are done as part of our Jenkins
|
|
gating jobs.
|
|
|
|
If you like to run individual tests, run:
|
|
|
|
* ``tox -e checkniceness`` - to run the niceness tests
|
|
* ``tox -e checksyntax`` - to run syntax checks
|
|
* ``tox -e checkdeletions`` - to check that no deleted files are referenced
|
|
* ``tox -e checkbuild`` - to actually build the manual
|
|
|
|
tox will use the `openstack-doc-tools package
|
|
<https://github.com/openstack/openstack-doc-tools>`_ for execution of
|
|
these tests. openstack-doc-tools has a requirement on maven for the
|
|
build check.
