I've been meaning to write a program to generate M2Crypto API docu from source daily; I just don't have the impetus to improve the docu if I can't get the gratification of near-instant publication of same.

So, finally I whipped up a Common Lisp program to do so. A straightforward script which "main" routine looks like this:

(defun make-m2-doc ()
  (setup-tmpdir)
  (svn-co)
  (build)
  (epydoc))

Tested okay on my desktop. Copied the script into the appropriate jail on the server. Building requires Python 2.3 and SWIG: ok, copied the relevant directories over. Epydoc requires its installation (already copied with Python) and a script in /usr/local/bin - easy, too. The binary svn gave a bit of a surprise, though:

$ ldd `which svn`

$

I'm not about to install all that gob into the jail. Ok, let's build a static binary then:

$ (configure --enable-all-static; make clean; make)

Better:

# ldd svn
ldd: svn: not a dynamic executable
# strip svn
# ls -l svn
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  2923484 Sep 26 14:53 svn

Copied the binary over, tested the script in various settings -- yup, it worked! Fixed up crontab, set entry to run a minute in the future, twiddled thumbs, checked outcome, doh! missed out setting PATH, fixed, again... yes!
