Thinking Cities

Repository to store and manage end user documentation related to the Telefónica's Thinking Cities platform powered by FIWARE.

How to generate documentation for a specific release

Requirements:

• Python 2.7 (it may work with other versions but I haven't tested)
• Required Python modules: requests and configparser, that can ben installed typically using:

sudo pip install requests configparser

Assuming you are in master branch with everything ready to release (v4.2 is a fictional example):

• Create the release branch:

git checkout -b release/v4.2

• Adjust URLs to point to the right version of the components included in that release. This is done automatically by the prepare_release.py using as input the repo-to-version configuration file

./prepare_release.py -v -d docs/ -c iotpv4.2.conf

• Check that the script has done its job correctly

git diff

• Commit all changes

git add docs/*.md
git add docs/topics/*.md
git status   # check all the files are staged for commit
git commit

• Push to origin

git push origin release/v4.2

• Check at http://thinking-cities.readthedocs.io/en/master/ that the new release is there (otherwise review the RTD configuration)

Configuration file syntax

The configuration file (iotpv4.2.conf in the example above) uses the following syntax:

[branches]
repo-name1=release/1.1.0
repo-name2=release/1.2.0
repo-name3=release/1.3.0
...
repo-nameN=release/1.4.0

The 1.1.0, 1.2.0, etc. above are just example; use actual version number in a real case.
