GLib Dependency Model
Recently I have developed a python script that scans all the symbols defined in a group of object files and libraries (through nm), it checks the inter-dependencies and it generates a "Lattix Data Import" xml file ready to be imported in Lattix. My first test case has been the GLib: http://www.emilmont.net/doku.php?id=python:dependency_model In that "test case" there is an highlighting of the cross-dependencies of the "core" of the glib. It also shows that different objects could be left out of the library, even without conditional compilation, but just at link time. Of course, GLib doesn't need to left out any object currently included, but the fact that there is the possibility to do so is, in my opinion, an index of the good quality of the GLib design. Do not hesitate to ask me Dependency Model for other open source libraries if you find them useful.

Minor comments: - In http://library.gnome.org/developers/pango/ I see the following available versions: * 1.10 * 1.12 * 1.14 * 1.16 * 1.17 It makes sense to clearly mark 1.17 as devel/unstable. - Like others have said already, a http://library.gnome.org/developers/pango/latest alias that links to the latest stable release may make sense. - Why not list the minor version of each of those available versions? - The page http://library.gnome.org/developers/ links to a specific version, not the listing. How is one supposed to get to the listing? - This one may need changes in gtk-doc, but would be very useful if we could have something like http://library.gnome.org/developers/pango/symbols/pango_layout_set_text and have it work. In fact, what would be more useful would be to make http://library.gnome.org/pango_layout_set_text redirect to where it should. That's how php.net works and it has been extremely useful.

Okay, I understand your problem now. Although I don't have a perfect
answer. Canonical link would be
http://library.gnome.org/developers/{doc_module}/latest/{whatever}
Current directory layout is the only one making sense if we want to
maintain several versions in library.gnome.org; however we could
probably devise a few mod_rewrite rules to expose other URI schemes,
such as http://library.gnome.org/api/{doc_module}/{whatever}.

Let me explain: The conclusion on gtk-doc was that it is not feasible to keep the on-line location of everything in gtk-doc, instead libraries should advertise their on-line reference base URLs (if there is any) and a mechanisms for this and for base URL switching/correction have been already implemented. This would work well with the current state when each library has one on-line location (containing the latest version). The new scheme leaves me wondering what to do when one just wants to link to GObject (gboolean, whatever) documentation. What is the canonical link? Is there any? Also, the possibility to use relative links such as ../gobject/gobject-The-Base-Object-Type.html#GObject that would work both on-line and in the typical off-line installation has been lost as the new URLs are one directory level more separated, though this is not a big problem.
