CDN should be optional for docs builds

[Anne Gentle]

CDN is not useful for local browsing (and may actually be a detriment). This can be enabled as a build-time job, similar to the Google Analytics option merged here: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/253592/

Anne,

Would you recommend the build download the CDN files if the option is set to local browsing? I would assume by CDN files, you mean any bootstrap, google fonts, and fontawesome etc files, right?

Thanks
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

I do think that downloading the files to serve locally meets the needs of an "offline browsing/building the docs" scenario.

Yeah, I think any files served on maxcdn like this line:

<link href="http://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.css" rel="stylesheet">

Are what we're looking to bring local as an option.

Thanks,
Anne

Anne,

One even simpler option is to remove the use of a CDN anywhere - we discussed this in https://launchpad.net/bugs/1502806 - and my patch https://review.openstack.org/#/c/333573/ addresses it except for the google fonts include. I could update to include that - what are your thoughts?

Thanks
Ryan

[Anne Gentle (annegentle)]

Yeah that is probably fine -- though I did ask if we have any way to test the difference?

[Ryan Selden (ryanx-seldon)]

Not sure what you mean?

[Anne Gentle (annegentle)]

Oh maybe performance won't matter since Non-CDN is only when served locally?

[Ryan Selden (ryanx-seldon)]

Added another patch for removing CDN from OpenSans googlefont and IE compatibility scripts.

What's the update on these patches?
