Build on Travis and deploy to Netlify

Why is this PR still marked as a draft? Is there something left to do?

[Holzhaus]

No, not really, except enabling Travis and Netlify for this repo.

[Holzhaus]

It works for my personal repo: https://app.netlify.com/sites/holzhaus-mixxx-manual/overview

[Be-ing]

No, not really, except enabling Travis and Netlify for this repo.

@daschuer or @ywwg can you take care of that?

[daschuer]

What exactly need to be done? I think I have no Netifly access yet.

[daschuer]

Ok, I have installed Netifly. I expect you need to force push to see it, right?

[Holzhaus]

I need to push changes. I'm currently testing a small improvement that allows PR previews for the manual on my private repo. I'll push that here when it works, then this will trigger a build. However, this will only work when Travis is enabled for this branch, too.

[Holzhaus]

Ok, I think this is ready now. This builds the full manual including all versions and PDFs on Travis CI (because the netlify allows only 15 minutes per build which does not suffice).

What this does:

• When your push to one of the manual-A.B.x branches, it triggers a full manual rebuild on Travis CI. The results are pushed to Netlify production. It always checks out the latest manual-A.B.x branch (manual-2.3.x at the moment) and builds from there to ensure that the latest sphinx config is used. [^1]
• When you open a PR, it builds this version of the manual in english (but no other version/languages) as a deploy preview. That way you can preview PRs and check if the markup is correct, etc. This already works for this PR, check the "Details" link next to "Deploy preview ready!" in the Checks section.
• Netlify builds are disabled for the production branch.

[^1] We need to merge the latest state of the manual-2.2.x into manual-2.3.x for this to work correctly. See #108

[daschuer]

I have enabled the Travis web hook.
Not sure if this is sufficient.

[Be-ing]

Looks like it is working https://deploy-preview-113--mixxx-manual.netlify.app/

@Holzhaus go ahead and merge if you think it's ready.

[Be-ing]

After we merge this, we could automate builds of the application to fetch the latest build of the manual.

[Holzhaus]

@Holzhaus go ahead and merge if you think it's ready.

If we merge now we can use netlify for branch previews, but the Travis Deployment won't work properly because a) the multiversion stuff is missing from the manual-2.3.x branch until we merge #108 and b) we need to configure the secret deploy key on Travis to give it permission to push a deployment to netlify.

builds of the application

For packaging the PDF with the executable?

OK I just took care of that. So now we need to merge #108 and this is good to go.
