I am also looking at reworking the documentation to use Sphinx/Breathe to generate the html from the xml that Doxygen generates, and incorporting documentation for the Python bindings, but looking is about as far as I've gotten so far. Not sure what to do about the Rust bindings. I was assuming I could just link to docs.rs, but the build there[1] is broken. Can we fix that? Cheers, Kent. [1] https://docs.rs/crate/libgpiod/latest

I was looking for something I can work on from time to time in small chunks, and it seemed a good fit. My current WIP is here[1]. It is generating C, C++ and Python docs ok. Still need to workout how to handle the Rust bindings. Once I'm satisfied with the outline I'll back fill some additional text to tie it all together. It is currently generated by libgpiod/sphinx/docs.sh, which is a rough approximation of how it will be called on rtd, with the resulting documentation entry point being sphinx/_readthedocs/html/index.html. That is run in a venv with sphinx and sphinx-rtd-theme installed with pip. It is totally independent of the existing doxygen doc generation/make doc, which I didn't want to mess with. Cheers, Kent.

Going backwards is more problematic, particularly if changes to the code docs are required to get them to render properly. I've got a few of those lined up already. Should be able to work out something to patch older versions, but haven't put much thought into it at this point. Cheers, Kent.

I was thinking the maintenance branches could have the sphinx doc generation backported, and the versions exposed on RTD would correspond to the maintenance branches. Those could be updated and rolled out piecemeal. So I'm thinking that is quite doable. Then I recall that the bindings each have their own version, e.g. python is now at 2.2.0, and rust is 0.2.2, while core is at 2.1.2. And I'm not even sure what version C++ is at (does that track core??). How do you want to handle that? The simplest would be for the RTD version to correspond to the core/maintenance branch, as I had intended. The corresponding binding version could be displayed on the page for the binding. Would that work for you? Cheers, Kent.

What level of versioning clusterf*ck are we on anyway? C++ bindings track the C API version. Rust and Python are entirely separate now. For docs: Ideally we should have separate pages for each part of the project: core C library, C++ and Python (there are no Doxygen comments here, only pydoc) with their own version selectors. C and C++ could potentially live together though. Python bindings should probably get their own stable branches at some point but there was no need so far. For rust: I think the docs belong on Rust.rs. Viresh, Erik: Is this something you plan to do eventually? Bart

We can always split them later if the need arises. Ok then, what you are describing is what RTD refers to as subprojects. The sticking point being RTD expects tags or branches to key off. To date you've only been tagging and branching core. Given the need to backport doc patches, branches would be more appropriate than tags. Python can be a subproject, so maintenance branches for any revisions you want to expose would be useful. > For rust: I think the docs belong on Rust.rs.

But the docs are built separately on docs.rs, and that is where the build is failing - as it can't find a libgpiod library for libgpiod-sys to link to. So that will need to be built first. Back to RTD; the RTD Rust page can link to docs.rs - I anticipate that fixing the docs.rs build would be easier to sort out than working out how to get Rust doc through Sphinx, and docs.rs needs to be sorted anyway. As such, RTD won't need branches for the Rust bindings. Hopefully that all makes sense. Cheers, Kent.
