Hi John,

2015-01-30 18:13, John McNamara:
> This patch adds support for creating PDF versions of the user guides.
> 
> Specifically:
> 
>     * The Programmer's Guide
>     * The Linux Getting Started Guide
>     * The FreeBSD Getting Started Guide
>     * The Sample Applications User Guide
>     * The TestPMD User Guide
>     * The Release Notes
> 
> The local and online Html documentation is very useful but we have had
> internal and external requests from people who also liked the PDF

> The PDF generation is fully automated and uses the same Sphinx build system
> and RST files used for the Html docs but uses the 'latexpdf' target. In
> addition to the standard Sphinx Python modules it requires the Tex/LaTeX
> toolchain. For best results it requires a TexLive 'Full' installation.
> 
> The PDF documents are generated as follows:
> 
>     make pdf
>     # or
>     make doc-pdf
> 
> The PDFs aren't generated as part of the 'make doc' rule since they can take
> some 1-3 minutes to build and since they have a large toolchain dependency.

> V2 Changes:
> 
>     * Removes config file duplication
>     * Converts SVG files to PNG on the fly
>     * Splits the patch into distinct mk/doc parts
>     * Fixes issues in the RST docs that prevent PDF generation

It seems a lot better.
I still have some comments but I feel we are not far of the simplest code ;)
