I continued what I started yesterday : move the chatelet part our of the lino_welfare package into a new package lino_welcht. This also caused changes in welfare and book.

Sorry, Hamza, you will have a bit of additional work because you some uncommitted local changes in welfare which must get moved over to The Châtelet variant of Lino Welfare.

Summary of the changes

• lino_welfare.chatelet –> lino_welcht

• lino_welcht itself is now used as plugin : it contains no models but the locale directory for the translations.

• New repository https://github.com/lino-framework/welcht

• removed lino_welfare/chatelet from welfare repo

• removed welfare_fr from manuals repo

• Central project page (the output of the docs doctree of the welcht repo) is published at http://welcht.lino-framework.org

• French documentation (the output of the frdocs doctree of the welcht repo) is published at https://fr.welfare.lino-framework.org (keep existing URLs)

We should do the same operation for weleup soon, so that welfare is really just a library (like xl).

Released Lino Welfare 19.2.0 in order to test the install instructions for welcht.

Building docs under Python 3

I had a file with a name containing a non-ascii char in one of my blogs. This causes a problem when running inv clean -b under Python 2 in that project. I thought “Okay, let’s switch to Python 3 for building all our Sphinx docs”.

But inv bd fails under Python 3 for projects that use sphinxfeed. sphinxfeed needs feedformatter which didn’t evolve sincs 2009. Yes https://feedgen.kiesow.be/ might be a replacement. But for now I decided to rename the non-ascii file and leave this for a later date.
