@florent-leborgne please tag reviewers, add the appropriate label(s),
and take this out of draft when you're ready.

Note: More files are deleted than added here because the content from
some files was moved to
[elastic/docs-content](https://github.com/elastic/docs-content).

**What has moved to
[elastic/docs-content](https://github.com/elastic/docs-content)?**

Public-facing narrative and conceptual docs have moved. Most can now be
found under the following directories in the new docs:
- explore-analyze: Discover, Dashboards, Visualizations, Reporting,
Alerting, dev tools...
- deploy-manage: Stack management (Spaces, user management, remote
clusters...)
- troubleshooting: .... troubleshooting pages

**What is staying in the Kibana repo?**

- Reference content (= anything that is or could be auto-generated):
Settings, syntax references
- Release notes
- Developer guide

Building a Kibana distributable [building-kibana]

The following command will build a {{kib}} production distributable:

yarn build --skip-os-packages

You can get all build options using the following command:

yarn build --help

Building OS packages [_building_os_packages]

Packages are built using fpm, dpkg, and rpm, and Docker. Package building has only been tested on Linux and is not supported on any other platform. Docker installation instructions can be found at Install Docker Engine.

apt-get install ruby ruby-dev rpm dpkg build-essential
gem install fpm -v 1.5.0
yarn build --skip-archives

To specify a package to build you can add rpm or deb as an argument.

yarn build --rpm

Distributable packages can be found in target/ after the build completes.
