All, I'd like to update routines.ma.rst on the numpy/numpy-docs/trunk SVN, but the whole trunk seems to be MIA... Where has it gone ? How can I (where should I) commit changes ?

It got moved into the numpy trunk under docs/.

While we are speaking about the moved docs: is it decided how we will distribute it ? For now, it is not included in the generated tarball, but I was wondering how we should distribute it (before, it went into .../site-packages/numpy/doc).

I recommend a numpy-doc-1.x.zip file on the download site.

Distutils does not have the notion of an installed doc outside the package itself, right ?

Nope. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco

Pauli, do you think you could put your numpyext in the doc/ directory as well ?

Yes, Numpy SVN would probably be a more natural place for the stuff. -- Pauli Virtanen

Looking at some recent changes made to docstrings in SVN by Pierre (r6110 & r6111), these are not yet reflected in the doc wiki.

Well, I haven't committed my version yet. I'm polishing a couple of issues with functions that are not recognized as such by inspect (because they're actually instances of a factory class).

I have been under the impression that the documentation on the doc wiki http://docs.scipy.org/numpy/Front%20Page/ immediately (or at least very quickly) reflected changes in SVN and that changes to the docs in the wiki need to be manually checked in to SVN. Admittedly I have no good reason to make this assumption.

It's manual, somebody with admin privileges must go and click a button to update it.

But there's no reason why it couldn't be automatic. It should be trivial to rig up a cron job that runs whenever there are new revisions in SVN, so let's put this in the todo list.

I think this is a sensible goal, people editing in the wiki may not be aware of what's happening in SVN. Nice to see that the Scipy docs are now available as well! Cheers, Scott
