I’m happy to announce a brand new https://pkg.julialang.org site. You can search for packages by name and topic (topics are populated from GitHub) and view the docs for all registered packages in one central place. In the near future it will also have full documentation of all packages and regex cod…

I checked the docs for Gadfly and a lot of plots don’t show e.g. the plots that use RDatasets. RDatasets is not a Gadfly requirement, but it is a requirement for building the docs .

I am building the docs on a separate process on Travis, would that be an issue? https://github.com/juliohm/GeoStats.jl/blob/master/.travis.yml#L17-L26

Possibly. Anything non-standard might cause problems. Will look into it.

As a side question, please let me know if there is a better way of building documentation in Julia packages. I like the Travis job approach because AFAIK it is performed in parallel.

[image] StefanKarpinski: It removes the burden from package developers of figuring out how to host docs and provide search functionality. How does this work, ie what should the package authors do for this to work? Just have the docs in docs? Does this mean that we don’t need to generate and d…

It seems that the documentation link defaults to something built from the package readme. This sounds like a good fallback, but in many cases the package has a native documentation that perhaps would be better to link to. I noticed that the native documentation is indeed linked in some cases, but no…

The website seems excellent! I am very happy that one can search by tags, this makes perfect sense and seems to work! Hopefully this will make finding Julia packages easier for new users. We now all have to take good care to choose proper and plentyful github tags to help everyone! I also appreciat…

So the longer term plan here is to allow you to specify what you want us to do : By default, we build whatever you have in docs/make.jl or fall back to your README, but you can also give us a repo/branch where we can find your docs so we can build those, or give us an URL with the built docs we can…

Thanks Seb, this sounds fair and square and indeed should cover everything. Please share with us where we can submit this doc link corresponding to point 3. (when it is ready)

https://github.com/thofma/Hecke.jl is not showing up. I am building the docs similar to @juliohm in the “new way” as described in PSA: Use a project for building your docs.
