3.11.1 Goals

4c79b5
1023f4

Organize scalable vector graphics (svg) to help describe the CentOS

1023f4
web environment.
1023f4

5fb024

3.11.2 The CentOS web environment

5fb024
1023f4

Inside CentOS corporate identity, the CentOS web environment is

1023f4
considered a promotion component. The CentOS web environment is formed
1023f4
by a central web application --to cover base needs (e.g., per-major
1023f4
release information like release notes, lifetime, downloads,
1023f4
documentation, support, security advisories, bugs, etc.)-- and many
1023f4
different free web applications --to cover specific needs (e.g.,
1023f4
wiki, mailing lists, etc.)--. 
1023f4

1023f4

The CentOS web environment is addressed to solve the following issues:

1023f4

bc3531
    1023f4
  • One unique name and one unique visual style to all web
  • 1023f4
    applications used inside the web environment.
    1023f4
    1023f4
  • One-step navigation to web applications inside the environment.
  • 1023f4
    1023f4
  • High degree of customization to change the visual style of all
  • 1023f4
    web applications with few changes (e.g, updating just two or three
    1023f4
    images plus common style sheet [CSS] definitions).
    bc3531
    bc3531
    1023f4

    The CentOS project is attached to a monolithic corporate visual

    1023f4
    identity (see section trunk/Identity), where all visual manifestations
    1023f4
    have one unique name and one unique visual style. This way, the CentOS
    1023f4
    web environment has one unique name (the CentOS brand) and one unique
    1023f4
    visual style (the CentOS default theme) for all its visual
    1023f4
    manifestations, the web applications in this case.
    1023f4

    1023f4

    Since a maintainance point of view, achiving the one unique visual

    1023f4
    style inside CentOS web environment is not a simple task. The CentOS
    1023f4
    web environment is built upon many different web applications which
    1023f4
    have different visual styles and different internal ways to customize
    1023f4
    their own visual styles. For example: MoinMoin, the web application
    1023f4
    used to support the CentOS wiki (http://wiki.centos.org/) is
    1023f4
    highly customizable but Mailman (in its 2.x.x serie), the web
    1023f4
    application used to support the CentOS mailing list, doesn't
    1023f4
    support(1) a customization system that separates
    1023f4
    presentation from logic, similar to that used by MoinMoin.
    1023f4

    1023f4

    This visual style diversity complicates our goal of one unique visual

    1023f4
    style for all web applications. So, if we want one unique visual style
    1023f4
    for all web applications used, it is innevitable to modify the web
    1023f4
    applications in order to implement the CentOS one unique visual style
    1023f4
    customization in them. Direct modification of upstream applications is
    1023f4
    not convenient because upstream applications come with their one
    1023f4
    visual style and administrators take the risk of loosing all
    1023f4
    customization changes the next time the application be updated (since
    1023f4
    not all upstream web applications, used in CentOS web environment,
    1023f4
    separate presentation from logic).
    1023f4

    1023f4

    To solve the "one unique visual style" issue, installation and

    1023f4
    actualization of web applications --used inside CentOS web
    1023f4
    environment-- need to be independent from upstream web applications
    1023f4
    development line; in a way that CentOS web environment administrators
    1023f4
    can install and update web applications freely without risk of loosing
    1023f4
    the one unique visual style customization changes. 
    1023f4

    1023f4

    At the surface of this issue we can see the need of one specific yum

    1023f4
    repository to store CentOS web environment customized web applications.

    3.11.2.4 Controlling visual style

    1023f4
    1023f4

    Inside CentOS web environment, the visual style is controlled by the

    1023f4
    following compenents:
    1023f4

    1023f4
    1023f4
    Webenv header background
    1023f4
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png
    1023f4
    1023f4
    1023f4
    CSS definitions
    1023f4
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Promo/Web/CSS/stylesheet.css
    1023f4
    1023f4
    1023f4
    1023f4
    1023f4
    1023f4

    3.11.2.5 Producing visual style

    1023f4
    1023f4

    The visual style of CentOS web environment is defined in the following

    1023f4
    files:
    1023f4

    1023f4
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Xcf/1024x250.xcf
    1023f4
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png
    1023f4
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250-bg.png
    1023f4
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Tpl/1024x250.svg
    1023f4
    1023f4

    As graphic designer you use <tt>`1024x250.xcf'</tt> file to produce

    1023f4
    <tt>`1024x250-bg.png'</tt> file. Later, inside <tt>`1024x250.svg'</tt> file,
    1023f4
    you use the <tt>`1024x250-bg.png'</tt> file as background layer to draw
    1023f4
    your vectorial design. When you consider you artwork ready, use the
    1023f4
    centos-art.sh script, as described below, to produce the
    1023f4
    visual style controller images of CentOS web environment.
    1023f4

    1023f4
    centos-art render --entry=trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds --filter='1024x250'
    1023f4
    1023f4

    Once you have rendered required image files, changing the visual style

    1023f4
    of CentOS web environment is a matter of replacing old image files
    1023f4
    with new ones, inside webenv repository file system structure. The
    1023f4
    visual style changes will take effect the next time customization line
    1023f4
    of CentOS web applications be packaged, uploded, and installed from
    1023f4
    [webenv] or [webenv-test] repositories.
    1023f4

    1023f4
    1023f4
    1023f4

    3.11.2.6 Navigation

    1023f4
    1023f4

    Inside CentOS web environment, the one-step navegation between web

    1023f4
    applications is addressed using the web environment navigation bar.
    1023f4
    The web environment navigation bar contains links to main applications
    1023f4
    and is always visible no matter where you are inside the web
    1023f4
    environment.
    1023f4

    1023f4
    1023f4
    1023f4

    3.11.2.7 Development and release cycle

    1023f4
    1023f4

    The CentOS web environment development and relase cycle is described

    1023f4
    below: 
    1023f4

    1023f4
    1023f4
    Download
    1023f4
    1023f4

    The first action is download the source code of web applications we

    1023f4
    want to use inside CentOS web environment.
    1023f4

    1023f4
    Important

    Important

    The source location from which web application are

    1023f4
    downloaded is very important. Use SRPMs from CentOS [base]
    1023f4
    and [updates] repositories as first choise, and third party
    1023f4
    repositories (e.g. RPMForge, EPEL, etc.) as last resource.
    1023f4

    1023f4
    1023f4
    1023f4
    Prepare
    1023f4
    1023f4

    Once web application source code has been downloaded, our duty is

    1023f4
    organize its files inside <samp>`webenv'</samp> version controlled repository.
    1023f4

    1023f4

    When preparing the structure keep in mind that different web

    1023f4
    applications have different visual styles, and also different ways to
    1023f4
    implement it. A convenient way to organize the file system structure
    1023f4
    would be create one development line for each web application we use
    1023f4
    inside CentOS web environment. For example, consider the following
    1023f4
    file system structure:
    1023f4

    1023f4
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    1023f4
    |-- WebApp1/
    1023f4
    |   |-- Sources/
    1023f4
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    1023f4
    |   |-- Rpms/
    1023f4
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    1023f4
    |   |-- Srpms/
    1023f4
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    1023f4
    |   `-- Specs/
    1023f4
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    1023f4
    |-- WebApp2/
    1023f4
    `-- WebAppN/
    1023f4
    1023f4
    1023f4
    Customize
    1023f4
    1023f4

    Once web applications have been organized inside the version

    1023f4
    controlled repository file system, use subversion to create the CentOS
    1023f4
    customization development line of web applications source code.  For
    1023f4
    example, using the above file system structure, you can create the
    1023f4
    customization development line of <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1/'</tt> with the
    1023f4
    following command:
    1023f4

    1023f4
    svn cp trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1 trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1-webenv
    1023f4
    1023f4

    The command above creates the following structure:

    1023f4

    1023f4
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    1023f4
    |-- WebApp1/
    1023f4
    |   |-- Sources/
    1023f4
    |   |   |-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    1023f4
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv/
    1023f4
    |   |-- Rpms/
    1023f4
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    1023f4
    |   |-- Srpms/
    1023f4
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    1023f4
    |   `-- Specs/
    1023f4
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    1023f4
    |-- WebApp2/
    1023f4
    `-- WebAppN/
    1023f4
    1023f4

    In the above structure, the <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv/'</tt> directory is

    1023f4
    the place where you customize the visual style of
    1023f4
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1/'</tt> web application. 
    1023f4

    1023f4
    Info

    Tip

    Use the diff command of Subversion between

    1023f4
    CentOS customization and upstream development lines to know what you
    1023f4
    are changing exactly.

    1023f4
    1023f4
    Release for testing
    1023f4
    1023f4

    When the customized web application has been packaged, make packages

    1023f4
    available for testing and quality assurance. This can be achives using
    1023f4
    a [webenv-test] yum repository. 
    1023f4

    1023f4
    info

    Note

    The [webenv-test] repository is not shipped inside

    1023f4
    CentOS distribution default yum configuraiton. In order to use
    1023f4
    [webenv-test] repository you need to configure it first.
    1023f4

    1023f4
    1023f4

    If some problem is found to install/update/use the customized version

    1023f4
    of web application, the problem is notified somewhere (a bugtracker
    1023f4
    maybe) and the customization face is repated in order to fix the
    1023f4
    problem. To release the new package add a number after <samp>`-webenv'</samp>
    1023f4
    prefix. For example, if some problem is found in
    1023f4
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.rpm'</tt>, when it be fixed the new package will
    1023f4
    be named <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'</tt>. If a problem is found in
    1023f4
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'</tt>, when it be fixed the new package
    1023f4
    will be named <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-2.rpm'</tt>, and so on.
    1023f4

    1023f4

    The "customization -- release for testing" process is repeated

    1023f4
    until CentOS quality assurance team considers the package is ready for
    1023f4
    production.
    1023f4

    1023f4
    1023f4
    Release for production
    1023f4
    1023f4

    When customized web application packages are considered ready for

    1023f4
    production they are moved from [webenv-test] to [webenv] repository.
    1023f4
    This action is commited by CentOS quality assurance team.
    1023f4

    1023f4
    info

    Note

    The [webenv] repository is not shipped inside CentOS

    1023f4
    distribution default yum configuraiton. In order to use [webenv]
    1023f4
    repository you need to configure it first.
