some missing devhelp packages

[btkostner]

This will probably take a while to fix. Attaching this issue for right now: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778226

[astavale]

@MuhannadAlrusayni There was a second mirror, beside valadoc.valadate.org, that is still up: http://valadoc.roojs.com/
From a quick look I can see devhelp for:
gio-2.0
glib-2.0
gobject-2.0

[btkostner]

I just applied the above patch, and rebuilt the site. The mentioned packages that are check marked are currently fixed on valadoc.org.

[astavale]

That's great. This also resolves issue #59 AppStream present in menu but unavailable.
gxml-0.10 is already covered by #57 Documentation for gxml-0.10 not present.
Unfortunately gio-2.0, glib-2.0 and gobject-2.0 still do not have devhelp packages.

[MuhannadAlrusayni]

it seems these packages are missing from valadoc.org but not in the mirror(valadata.org).
note : libgdaui-5.0 are missed from valadoc.org and valadata.org.

[btkostner]

All of those packages (as of right this moment) minus gio-2.0, glib-2.0, and gobject-2.0 have a problem when you build the docs. When running make build-docs you get this output:

I'll work on tracking down the issues and fixing them, or reporting them upstream if need be.

Hi, it seemes that valadata.org is not avalible and these devhelp package is still not avalible too (in valadoc.org).
this is not good for pepole doesn't allways have internet access (like me).

and I don't really know how to generate these devhelp packages to help solve this problem.
so it would be very helpful if anyone could solve this problem, since these libararies are core libararies.

[astavale]

@MuhannadAlrusayni valadata.org never existed, you may be thinking of valadoc.valadate.org. This was a temporary mirror of valadoc.org. It looks like the person hosting that mirror has taken it down now that valadoc.org is working fully.

If it's any help Linux distributions will carry the devhelp packages for the C API. For example with Fedora you can install glib2-doc. This package supplies devhelp files for gio-2.0, glib-2.0 and gobject-2.0. These are for the C API, the same as online at developer.gnome.org.

[MuhannadAlrusayni]

@astavale Oh, I thought it was valadata.org.

I'm doing it this way right now, when I have no internet access I go and look at C API in devhelp and try to figure out how to write it with vala, but that take's more time, and imagine if you work in project and that project needs a long time working on it, so looking to C API will not be helpful and will take even longer.
And this way will not be easy for programmer who doesn't know C.

[MuhannadAlrusayni]

@btkostner Thanks for fileing a bug, I think you have to mention the other libararies not only gvncpulse .

@astavale Great to have these packages :D, but it's weird this mirror is not listed somewhere in Vala docs and it seemes it's not up-to-date mirror for example the gobject page is a bit different not sure if it's in ordering things in the page or there are some different.

valadoc.org/gobject-2.0/index.htm
valadoc.roojs.com/#!wiki=gobject-2.0/index

anyway it's good temperary mirror until fix this bug in valadoc.org.
@astavale thanks for the mirror, by the way where did you find it ?

[btkostner]

@MuhannadAlrusayni I wasn't sure if they were going to close the issue and point me to upstream, so I only filed one issue right now.

Also, that mirror is not up to date with this master, but it does have some improvements, most of which have been put back into this repo.

[MuhannadAlrusayni]

Hi, libgdaui-5.0 stil not avalible and libgitg-ext-1.0 added to the list.

[albfan]

gitg maintainer here, what should I fix to get libgitg-ext doc on valadoc.org?

[benwaffle]

@albfan You should edit packages.xml.

Here is an example: https://github.com/Valadoc/valadoc-org/pull/187/files

The vapi & gir should be part of vala, https://github.com/nemequ/vala-girs, or https://github.com/nemequ/vala-extra-vapis

Also, see the README https://github.com/Valadoc/valadoc-org#add-new-packages

libgee-0.8 devhelp leads to 404 https://valadoc.org/gee-0.8/gee-0.8.tar.bz2

[astavale]

@rkraneis this is something to do with #182 From what I can tell all links to a devhelp package return 404. This started after the last deploy and needs to be fixed before any work can start on getting libgitg-ext to work. Strangely following the link directly from your comment does download the devhelp file. Is some Javascript intercepting the links in Valadoc.org? The tooltips aren't working too well either.

@benwaffle libgitg-ext is already in packages.xml, https://valadoc.org/libgitg-ext-1.0/index.htm is there. It is the devhelp package that is the problem and it looks like the devhelp package itself is there as well: https://valadoc.org/libgitg-ext-1.0/libgitg-ext-1.0.tar.bz2 It is the link that is the problem, probably the same problem as #182

[benwaffle]

for some reason searching GitgExt shows nothing. out-of-date search index? @btkostner

[rkraneis]

@astavale Thanks, I actually did not realize that. Just reloading the 404 page then in the browser also downloads the package.
