The theme can't be used?

[webkong]

Python 2.7.13
mkdocs, version 0.17.2
mkdocs-bootstrap 0.1.1

site_description: knowledge Document
theme: bootstrap

then I use mkdocs serve , will report an error below

INFO    -  Building documentation... 
WARNING -  The theme 'bootstrap' does not appear to have a configuration file. Please upgrade to a current version of the theme.

as mention on mkdocs wiki
you need to use mkdocs 16.x
https://github.com/mkdocs/mkdocs/wiki/MkDocs-Themes#broken-themes-on-17x-

from 16 to 17 they change a lot of stuff related to themes
http://www.mkdocs.org/about/release-notes/#theme-customization-1164

now I wonder if it's temporary or if these theme is just obsolete.

The latest version that's available in the repo actually does work with 0.17.2, you just have to manually install it. If the authors would release the latest version and update the currently available Python package, installing via pip install mkdocs-bootstrap would work with the latest version of mkDocs. @d0ugal @waylan Is there a reason this package hasn't already been updated?

[waylan]

Sorry, but I don't have the proper permissions to upload new versions to PYPI. @d0ugal as a reminder, the mkdocs package is uploaded via a automation script run from the CI server. But the various theme packages have not been set up that way so I can't update them. If you get things set up, I'll take care of the rest.

[d0ugal]

@waylan the mkdocsdeploy pypi user has permissions already. I guess I’d need to setup travis for the password... but for now I’ve just added your user as an owner. So you can manually deploy

Sorry if I missed pings about this before.

FYI, I just accepted all of the outstanding PRs and updated the theme to work with MkDocs 0.17. I then created and released a new version (0.2) of the theme. Enjoy!
