As said. The files are mentioned in All Reference Guides - ROOT , but are missing.

Hi @mlo,

Thanks for pointing that out.

It seems like html636 files are indeed missing, but most other links do work, we will fix the broken links. Let me add @couet in the loop.

Cheers,
Dev

Yes only that one is missing . I’ll see if there is a reason for that.

All looks fine in the github action. I must admit I do not understand fro the time being. 636 does the same as 634…

I am not sur but the name of the ta file may have changed. Can you try: https://root.cern/download/htmlv6-36-00-patches.tar.gz

Indeed the tar files of older versions (ie 6.34) are following the old naming scheme and point to old version of the tar files. I will fix the web site in order to point to the new versions.

I downloaded htmlv6-36-00-patches.tar.gz ; v6-36-00-patches has a subdirectory “html” with a content similar to the one of v634. There is an index.html that, when opened, shows the complete manual for v636. Why a new subdirectory? Why the “patch” string in the name? At a first sight, I interpreted the name as identifying something intended for the unix utility patch(1). But, more important, the “all reference guides” page of the root program (https://root.cern.ch/reference) shows clearly a link with the names html636.tar.gz - html636.tar.xz that, if followed, go to error 404. And - the xz version?

The of the tar ball changed since we go to github action to build the doc. We do not generate the xz anymore.

Just to be clear – I need to:

  1. download and unpack https://root.cern/download/htmlv6-36-00-patches.tar.gz (I still don’t understand the “-patches” but this is your business) ;
  2. replace my soft link to /MyChoice/v634/index.html with /MyChoice/v6-36-00-patches/html/index.html ;
  3. Nothing will change in the near future;
  4. When root_v6.36.00 will be released, there will be a file htmlv6-36-01-patches.tar.gz .

TIA - mlo

Sorry for that changes. We recently moved from jenkins CI to a github-action CI. There was a lot of changes in that process and we are still investigating/experimenting. We concentrated primarily on master the older version 632 → 636 came after.
