[Qemu-devel] Updating documentation at http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-doc.html

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it's possible to update the documentation at the
above URL? It appears as a link at http://wiki.qemu-project.org/Manual
and seems to be the first hit for most people looking for information on
QEMU SPARC emulation, which is frustrating as the information there is
well out of date. Presumably this is because the documentation is hosted
on the qemu.org domain itself and so ranks higher?


ATB,

Mark.

Hi Mark,
I've CCed Jeff Cody, who is taking over as system administrator for
QEMU.  The http://wiki.qemu.org/download/qemu-doc.html link is just a
static page from 2010.

It should be possible to rebuild the HTML docs and replace the file.
Even better would be to update it from a cron job.

Thanks.

I've update the qemu-doc.html at the above link with the latest output of
"make qemu-doc.html" from git master.  I'll set up a daily cronjob to take care
of that automatically, as well.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for getting all this set up - the new documentation update looks
good here. Shall I also update the link on
http://wiki.qemu-project.org/Manual to reflect the fact that the updates
are now generated regularly? "Older version of the above" doesn't quite
seem appropriate any more...


ATB,

Mark.
