Autopilot helper documentation is hidden inside chroot

[Nicholas Skaggs]

Currently the autopilot helper documentation is shipped in the ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot package. This means the local documentation for developers exists in a chroot behind the SDK tools. This can cause confusion and potential issue as the local installed version (if any) does correspond / make sense for what is being used inside the chroot.

Support should be added for viewing documentation for the chroot target you are developing against.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

The UI Toolkit is officially shipped to the mobile device images. Right now targeting the Desktop application development is in a tech-preview state. It means that the UITK is good on desktop, but it comes with certain limitation. In other words, the full convergence from the point of the UITK is the main target of the 15.10 release.

Because of that, the UITK API documentation is available in the target Kits. One can of course treat the Desktop environment as a target Kit, but that target is not supported in a scale as the click schroot builders.

Said that, the Ubuntu SDK does show the API documentation of the selected target. So if you use 15.04 Kit then the API documentation will be pulled from the 15.04 Kit.

The local installation of the APIs are not supported in a same way as the target installations.
