GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 657920
Add Grilo documentation
Last modified: 2011-09-05 15:43:05 UTC
We have done several Grilo releases, a framework to get access to multimedia content, both on-line and off-line, that it is used by Totem and Media-Explorer. But so far we never put the documentation online, so people wanting to inspect it must build it themselves. Could you please add the documentation to library.gnome.org, so it is accessible from the web? Grilo is available at http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/grilo/0.1/
Could you pick a category for grilo in the right column of http://developer.gnome.org/references and provide a short summary (two lines is fine)?
I'd say it fits better in Multimedia category. About Grilo, "Grilo is a framework that provides access to different sources of multimedia content, using a pluggable system." A bit longer description: "Grilo is a framework focused on making media discovery and browsing easy for application developers. More precisely, Grilo provides: - A single, high-level API that abstracts the differences among various media content providers, allowing application developers to integrate content from various services and sources easily. - A collection of plugins for accessing content from various media providers. Developers can share efforts and code by writing plugins for the framework that are application agnostic. - A flexible API that allows plugin developers to write plugins of various kinds."
What about grilo-libs? (developer.gnome.org will have two entries, as there are two documents in grilo sources) (I don't know if it makes sense from a technical point of view, but from a documentation perspective I think it would be better to have a single document.)
Good question. Grilo-libs was kept separated because, though included in the Grilo core, it is not an essential part of it, but a library of utilities that plugins (or developers) can choose to use. I think you're right, I don't like very much neither to have two separated entries in developer.g.o I'll take care of this, and I'll come with a solution.
Created attachment 195679 [details] New pre-release of Grilo I'm preparing the next Grilo release, 0.1.17. I've merged grilo-libs documentation into main documentation, so now there is only one document. Attached is the pre-release version. Can you check if everything you need to close this bug is already fine in that version? If so, then I'll make the real release.
Looks ok, I'll wait for that version to be installed and push the required library-web change (I'll monitor ftp-release-list, no need to ping me). Thanks for your quick reaction!
Done. I've made the release and pushed to download.gnome.org
And it's now published, http://developer.gnome.org/grilo/unstable/
