Broken Links in data.atmosphere documentation

[Parthmadan-1]

Document Change needed

https://pecanproject.github.io/modules/data.atmosphere/docs/index.html

Documentation https://pecanproject.github.io/pecan//modules/data.atmosphere/inst/web/index.html
as well as PEcAn variable names https://pecanproject.github.io/pecan-documentation/master/met-data.html
have broken URL links.

Thanks for reporting this! Unfortunately it's not as simple a fix as it looks: This is probably related to PecanProject/PecanProject.github.io#18 -- the package documentation pages are shamefully out of date (notice the linked docs are for PEcAn 1.6.0 and our last release was 1.7.2!), because they are not updated by the Github Actions build process the way the long-form PEcAn book is.

Anyone who wants to work on this could start by understanding how book.yml works and then work on modifying it to include compilation of the package docs.

would it make sense to fix the broken links and open a separate issue for adding pkgdown to the documentation build process?

[infotroph]

My sense is that the broken links are things that have been fixed by documentation updates in the newer versions, so trying to fix them manually would involve editing autogenerated code (i.e. it would be a waste of time).

This issue is stale because it has been open 365 days with no activity.
