# How the Programming Guide is built
2+
3+
## The data
4+
The main contents are in the https://github.com/squid-cache/programming-guide.github.io github repository,
5+
and are published via github pages, at address https://programming-guide.squid-cache.org/
6+
7+
The pages are automatically refreshed daily from a checkout of the squid sources
8+
by a [github workflow](https://github.com/squid-cache/programming-guide.github.io/blob/main/.github/workflows/gen-docs.yaml).
9+
10+
The doxyfile in the squid sources is not used,
11+
as it is stricly tied to the version of the programming guide which is embedded in the squid main site.
12+
This unfortunately means that the graphic theme doesn't match the squid site.
13+
14+
In order to preserve links and references, apache redirect rules are in place
15+
via mod_rewrite in `master.squid-cache.org.conf` to ensure that there are no
16+
dangling links.
17+
18+
In order to be able to publish the github pages site, the automations need
19+
to rely on the `PUSH_TOKEN` repository secret, which needs to be refreshed
20+
at least once a year.
21+
22+
## Transitional measures
23+
The squid main site still contains the full programming guide, and it's still
24+
refreshed daily from the sources. It is not however served, as it
25+
is masked by the redirect to the github pages.
26+
Once we are fully satisfied that it's no longer needed, we can
27+
remove the generation logic, the copy of the contents, and the
28+
related configuration files in the squid sources.
