Incomplete work to generate config doc from config.ini This is an incomplete attempt to allow generation of the config.ini documentation in reference.txt. It reformats the output of 'roundup_admin.py genconfig'. So it now includes all of the settings. Using a Makefile rule like: tracker_config.txt: ../roundup/configuration.py python3 ../roundup/scripts/roundup_admin.py \ genconfig _temp_config.txt sed -e '1,8d' \ -e 's/^\[\([a-z]*\)\]/\n.. index:: config.ini; sections \1\n\n.. code:: ini\n\n [\1]/' \ -e 's/^\([^[]\)/ \1/' \ _temp_config.txt > tracker_config.txt rm -f _temp_config.txt results in the config.ini split by section and index links being put in place. However some sections have a comment before the [section] marker. This comment is orphaned at the end of the prior section rather than starting the new section. A simple sed won't allow the lookahead needed to target the [section] marker and include the prior comment block. Also there are still have some long lines generated (> 65 characters). Maybe a python script can import configuration.py and output proper restructured text output? reference.txt: add a commented out include:: tracker_config.txt directive roundup/admin.py: don't require a tracker home for genconfig. So user can generate a clean config.ini on demand. Tracker home is still required for updateconfig. roundup/configuration.py: wrap lines better. A number of them are generating comments > 65 characters which is the targeted line length. This cleans up config.ini too, so is a good thing. website/www/conf.py: ignore doc/tracker_config.ini when processing.

Roundup Tracker Templates
=========================

The templates distributed with Roundup are stored in the "share" directory
nominated by Python. On Unix this is typically
``/usr/share/roundup/templates/`` (or ``/usr/local/share...``) and
on Windows this is ``c:\python27\share\roundup\templates\``.

The template loading looks in four places to find the templates:

1. *share* - eg. ``<prefix>/share/roundup/templates/*``.
   This should be the standard place to find them when Roundup is
   installed running setup.py from source.
2. ``install_dir``/../<prefix>/share/....``, where prefix is the
   Python's ``sys.prefix``. ``sys.base_prefix`` or 
   `sys.base_prefix/local``. This finds templates (and locales)
   installed by pip. E.G. in a virtualenv located at (``sys.prefix``):
   ``/tools/roundup``, roundup would be at:
   ``/tools/roundup/lib/python3.6/site-packages/roundup``. The
   templates would be at:
   ``/tools/roundup/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tools/roundup/share/roundup/templates/``.
3. ``<roundup.admin.__file__>/../../share/roundup/templates/*``.
   This will be used if Roundup's run in the distro (aka. source)
   directory.
4. ``<current working dir>/*``.
   This is for when someone unpacks a 3rd-party template.
5. ``<current working dir>``.
   This is for someone who "cd"s to the 3rd-party template dir.

Templates contain:

- modules ``schema.py`` and ``initial_data.py``
- directories ``html``, ``detectors`` and ``extensions``
  (with appropriate contents)
- optional ``config_ini.ini`` file. It is structured like a tracker's
  ``config.ini`` but contains only headers (e.g. ``[main]``) and
  *required* parameters that are different from defaults:
  e.g. ``template_engine = jinja2`` and ``static_files =
  static``. These settings override the default values saved to the
  tracker's ``config.ini``.
- template "marker" file ``TEMPLATE-INFO.txt``, which contains
  the name of the template, a description of the template
  and its intended audience.

An example TEMPLATE-INFO.txt::

 Name: classic
 Description: This is a generic issue tracker that may be used to track bugs,
              feature requests, project issues or any number of other types
              of issues. Most users of Roundup will find that this template
              suits them, with perhaps a few customisations.
 Intended-For: All first-time Roundup users
