doc: Convert docs to Markdown language

2014-10-28T15:55:18+00:00

Converts the majority of docs over to use the Markdown language for
pretty printing on GitHub. It's a rough first convertion without
exploiting the full potential of Markdown at this point. Section
titles and indentation are fixed as needed. Minimal docs interlinking
is added.

rhel, xenserver: Run unit tests while creating rpms.

2014-07-01T14:53:38+00:00

For RHEL, Fedora and Xenserver, run unit tests while
building rpms.  This may catch some cross-platform bugs.

The commit also allows the users to optionally skip unit tests.
(On debian, the default is to run unit tests. For consistency,
do the same for rpms.)

build: Allow building with autoconf 2.63

2014-06-27T15:21:44+00:00

Reduces the dependency on autoconf from 2.64 to 2.63 to ease building
on older platforms. There is only a few macros missing and they can
be provided easily.

A handful of tests needed modification. The difference in quoting
behaviour between 2.63 and later require the m4_define() to be
manually unfolded.

The Debian control file is left untouched on purpose. The decision
whether to adjust the dependency is left to the respective maintainers.

Tested with autoconf 2.63 and 2.69.

Update build requirements.

2014-01-10T18:52:51+00:00

Libtool is now required as of commit 38b7a52b61 (openvswitch: Use libtool
and allow building shared libs).

It seems that a build requirement for Python slipped in a while back, for
generating ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5, and no one complained, so we might as
well make it official.  (That will let us simplify some bits of the build,
too, since they won't have to be conditional on Python anymore, so I'm all
in favor of this change.)

ovsdb-doc: generate vswitch.[pic|gv] files only if dot tool is available

2013-10-17T21:33:14+00:00

These are auto-generated files, so it would be better not to keep them
inside Open vSwitch repository.

Behaviour before this patch was that if dot tool was not present on
the system, then ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5 would have used pre-generated
vswitch.pic file that was already checked in the git repository. After
this patch ovs-vswitchd.conf.db.5 will simply not have a dot diagram,
if dot was not present at the time when Open vSwitch was built.
