[PATCH] ci: perform build and smoke tests for Meson docs

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Mar 12, 2025, 14:28 UTC
Message-ID
<20250312-b4-pks-ci-meson-docs-v1-1-5e7cf7ac959a@pks.im>

Our "documentation" CI job performs a couple of tests against our documentation. Part of these tests is to check whether documentation builds at all and whether it spits out the expected set of files. We don't yet have such a test for Meson, which means that we wouldn't notice at all if building the documentation were to break. As a result, breakages as fixed by 87eccc3a81d (meson: fix building technical and howto docs, 2025-03-02) are easy to go unnoticed.

Address this test gap by starting to build both manpages and HTML sites as part of the CI job.

Hi,

this single patch expands our "documentation" CI job to also start building Meson documentation.

Thanks!
Patrick
