2020-03-07gst: Document dependencies and quick usageNicolas Dufresne
This is a quick startup guide allowing to build and use the GStreamer element from the libcamera source tree.

2020-01-17README: Remove duplicated lineLaurent Pinchart
The commit 2de78434ca71 ("meson: Bump required version to 0.47") included an extra duplicated line (my bad, the issue happened when applying). Fix it. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Reviewed-by: Kieran Bingham <kieran.bingham@ideasonboard.com>
2020-01-17meson: Bump required version to 0.47Nicolas Dufresne
This is needed to use option type 'feature'. This is a tri-state (auto/enabled/disabled) which comes with utility to enable them all, or disabled them all to avoid any dynamic selection happening. It can also be used as value to any "required" field. This will be used in GStreamer support. If you don't have a recent enough meson in your distribution, you can always install or upgrade your version using pip3. pip3 install --user meson pip3 install --user --upgrade meson Signed-off-by: Nicolas Dufresne <nicolas.dufresne@collabora.com> Reviewed: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com> Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>

2019-10-24Documentation: Add git clone information to Getting StartedLaurent Pinchart
As the Getting Started section is displayed on the website, it should contain commands related to cloning the repository. Signed-off-by: Laurent Pinchart <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
2019-10-23Documentation: Hide the Getting Started informationLaurent Pinchart
The Getting Started information makes little sense on the generated documentation, as a developer with documentation compiled from a local libcamera source tree has already got started. We however want to keep the information in the top-level README.rst as it is useful there. In order to hide the Getting Started information from the front page while keeping it in README.rst, add comments to delimitate sections of README.rst, and include only a subset of the file in the front page.

2019-10-05libcamera: controls: Auto-generate control_ids.h and control_ids.cppLaurent Pinchart
Bring back auto-generation of control ids. In this version, both the header and the source files are generated from a single YAML file that stores all control definitions. This allows centralising controls in a single file, while the previous version required keeping both declarations (in a header) and documentation (in a the source) in sync manually. Using YAML as a format to store control definitions is a trade-off between ease of use (there are many YAML parsers available) and simplicity (XML was considered, but would have lead to more complex processing). A new build time dependency is added on python3-yaml, which should be available as a package in all distributions and build environments. The YAML format is likely to change over time as we improve documentation of controls, the first version simply copies the information currently available. Future improvements should also include a YAML schema to validate the YAML source file.

2019-08-16readme: Move index page content to READMEKieran Bingham
Move the introduction content from the index.rst to the README.rst so that it can also be found quickly from the top level. Include the README.rst directly into the index.rst to continue serving it as the front page material.

2019-08-16readme: Convert from Markdown to RSTKieran Bingham
The Documentation and top-level README both serve to provide information to new developers and users of libcamera. Currently our README.md is sparse, and should be expanded with more useful information such as build requirements as well as compilation directions. Any information provided in the README also serves a purpose in the main documentation and website and could be a cause of duplicated content. To allow direct integration of the top level README document into our sphinx documentation (and thus the libcamera.org website) convert the README.md into ReSTructured text format.
