Building the docs site

This page describes the process to build the Publican-driven Fedora docs site, referencing the Publican 4.0 User Guide.

The site is based on an EL6 machine, pulling packages from the el6-docs repo in Koji.

0. Set up an el6 machine

For this test, I set up a fresh el6.5 machine.

1. Connect repos

1.1 optional subchannel

Activate the optional subchannel in RHN. Instructions here

1.2 EPEL

$ sudo yum localinstall http://mirror.as24220.net/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

1.3 el6-docs

Create /etc/yum.repos.d/el6-docs.repo with the following contents:

[el6-docs]
name=Packages for the Fedora docs site
baseurl=http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/repos/el6-docs/latest/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=0
