From fc07eb2b464eaea1f3dcc9ce4d57343571e8527f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Barry Warsaw Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 06:14:49 -0400 Subject: Integrate pylint and Sphinx documentation buildout targets. * bin/lint.sh runs the linter (be very afraid) * bin/docs runs Sphinx over the documentation (needs refining) src/sphinxconf.py is an ugly hack to hook the buildout recipe so that we can ignore text files in our tree that are not documentation. --- src/mailman/docs/README.txt | 91 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 91 insertions(+) create mode 100644 src/mailman/docs/README.txt (limited to 'src/mailman/docs') diff --git a/src/mailman/docs/README.txt b/src/mailman/docs/README.txt new file mode 100644 index 000000000..20fe32a1c --- /dev/null +++ b/src/mailman/docs/README.txt @@ -0,0 +1,91 @@ +================================================ +Mailman - The GNU Mailing List Management System +================================================ + +This is `GNU Mailman`_, a mailing list management system distributed under the +terms of the `GNU General Public License`_ (GPL) version 3 or later. + +Mailman is written in Python_, a free object-oriented programming language. +Python is available for all platforms that Mailman is supported on, which +includes GNU/Linux and most other Unix-like operating systems (e.g. Solaris, +\*BSD, MacOSX, etc.).
