Hailee Kenney 3c826a0ca8 (maint) Remove references to stable in COMMITTERS
Since puppet strings is a very small project, at the moment we
don't need to maintain a master and a stable branch. As a result,
the COMMITTERS.md guide should not contain references to the stable
branch or include information around dealing with both the master
and stable branch. Remove these references so that COMMITTERS is
consistent with our approach to the strings repository.

README.md

Puppet Strings

A Puppet Face and plugin built on the YARD Documentation Tool and Puppet Future Parser.

WARNING: This is very much a science experiment in progress. Things may blow up or change rapidly depending on the Temperature in Portland on a given day.

Installation

So far, this module has been developed against Puppet 3.6.x. It will not work with earlier versions.

Currently, just git clone directly into the Puppet modulepath. Ensure the yard and rgen gems are installed. If running Ruby 1.8.7, ensure the backports gem is installed.

Usage

Documenting a module:

cd /path/to/module
puppet strings

This processes README and everything in manifests/**/*.pp.

Documenting specific manifests:

puppet strings some_manifest.pp [another_if_you_feel_like_it.pp]

Processing is delegated to the yardoc tool so some options listed in yard help doc are available. However, Puppet Faces do not support passing arbitrary options through a face so these options must be specified in a .yardopts file.

Caveats

  • At the moment, only top-level Classes and Defined Types are parsed and formatted.

  • Documentation blocks must immediately precede the documented code with no whitespace. This is because the comment extractor possesses the elegance and intelligance of a bag of hammers.

  • Support for Ruby 1.8.7 may disappear in the future.

  • This is a science experiment. It has a high probability of exploding catastrophically instead of doing something useful.
