This is the repository containing content found at scitools.org.uk.

The content is generated by running the build.py script at the root of the repository. build.py takes the content in source and templates and constructs the resulting html. Both source and build content are stored in this repository.

The html in this repository is a combination of generated and static content. Running the build.py script will overwrite any static content which shares a directory structure to that found in source. The built documentation for documentation such as Iris and cartopy are not generated from the source directory, and are instead generated with sphinx as a separate step. To add further released version documentation, create the appropriate folder (e.g. iris/docs/v1.2.3) with the built documentation (typically created via sphinx). Once the content is in place, consider running tools/symlink_common.py . which will look through all files and share any common assets into the shared_assets folder, thus reducing the overall repository size.

To update scitools.org.uk so that it includes the Iris documentation for the Iris 1.12.0 release the following steps need to be followed.

1. Build the Iris documentation using sphinx and add it to the scitools.org.uk repo.

$ cd <path_to_iris_repo>/docs/iris
$ make html
$ cp -a build/html/ <path_to_scitools.org.uk_repo>/iris/docs/v1.12.0

2. Update the latest symlink.

$ cd <path_to_scitools.org.uk_repo>/iris/docs
$ rm latest
$ ln -s v1.12.0 latest
$ cd -

3. Update "Latest" and "Previous releases" in source/iris/documentation.html.

4. Run the build.py script.

$ python build.py

5. Generate the shared_assets.

$ python tools/symlink_common.py .
