[PATCH v5 21/21] api-index: remove api doc index files

From
Heba Waly via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Nov 17, 2019, 21:05 UTC
Message-ID
<3771f7e2cb2187e8faa8e6f4f8fd585a20cbb0ba.1574024701.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.434.v5.git.1574024700.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Heba Waly <heba.waly@gmail.com>

Remove both api-index.txt and api-index-skel.txt as the API documentation is being moved to the header files, so the index is not needed anymore because the doc files (Documentation/technical/api-*.txt) will be gone.

Make changes to Documentation/Makefile accordingly.
