From 9e54134dafa44a0817a440b3ccf05c46407e7962 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Todd Gamblin Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2023 20:36:22 -0700 Subject: docs: Replace package list with packages.spack.io (#40251) For a long time, the docs have generated a huge, static HTML package list. It has some disadvantages: * It's slow to load * It's slow to build * It's hard to search We now have a nice website that can tell us about Spack packages, and it's searchable so users can easily find the one or two packages out of 7400 that they're looking for. We should link to this instead of including a static package list page in the docs. - [x] Replace package list link with link to packages.spack.io - [x] Remove `package_list.html` generation from `conf.py`. - [x] Add a new section for "Links" to the docs. - [x] Remove docstring notes from contribution guide (we haven't generated RST for package docstrings for a while) - [x] Remove referencese to `package-list` from docs. --- lib/spack/docs/.gitignore | 1 - lib/spack/docs/basic_usage.rst | 5 ++- .../docs/build_systems/inteloneapipackage.rst | 4 +- lib/spack/docs/conf.py | 3 -- lib/spack/docs/contribution_guide.rst | 52 +++------------------- lib/spack/docs/index.rst | 10 ++++- lib/spack/docs/package_list.rst | 17 ------- lib/spack/docs/replace_conda_homebrew.rst | 24 +++++----- 8 files changed, 30 insertions(+), 86 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 lib/spack/docs/package_list.rst (limited to 'lib') diff --git a/lib/spack/docs/.gitignore b/lib/spack/docs/.gitignore index d481aa0923..b349291a8a 100644 --- a/lib/spack/docs/.gitignore +++ b/lib/spack/docs/.gitignore @@ -1,4 +1,3 @@ -package_list.html command_index.rst spack*.rst llnl*.rst diff --git a/lib/spack/docs/basic_usage.rst b/lib/spack/docs/basic_usage.rst index af6d2dab91..d1f048ac05 100644 --- a/lib/spack/docs/basic_usage.rst +++ b/lib/spack/docs/basic_usage.rst @@ -45,7 +45,8 @@ Listing available packages To install software with Spack, you need to know what software is available.
