Updating SUSE Manager API Documentation and Posting Online

The XML source file of the API documentation is packaged as spacewalk-java-apidoc-sources-VERSION.noarch.rpm and stored in the internal Build Service. You must log in the Build Service to download this package. From the XML source file we build the PDF to be published on suse.com. Here are instructions for SUSE Manager 3, 3.1, 3.2 (SLE 12 SP1, SP2, and SP3) and 4.0 (SLE 15 SP1).

Step 0: Click https://build.suse.de, and log in. Save the cookie!

4.0

• Click https://build.suse.de/package/binaries/SUSE:SLE-15-SP1:Update:Products:Manager40/spacewalk-java/standard. If it does not work, click https://build.suse.de/project/show/SUSE:SLE-15-SP1:Update:Products:Manager40 and search for spacewalk-java. Click Repositories, then one of the standard links.
• Use the Download button next to a spacewalk-java-apidoc-sources-4.0.21-1.1.noarch.rpm.
• Extract the XML file:

unrpm -v spacewalk-java-apidoc-sources-4.0.21-1.1.noarch.rpm

• Build the PDF with daps:

daps --styleroot="/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/suse2013-ns" \
     -m usr/share/doc/packages/spacewalk-java/xml/susemanager_api_doc.xml \
     pdf

• Copy the PDF to gitlab's external-tree directory and ping the docserv maintainers (Stefan, Frank).
