3.12.1 Goals

4c79b5
166893

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

166893
web environment.
166893

3.12.2 The CentOS web environment

2dc146
166893

Inside CentOS corporate identity, the CentOS web environment is

166893
considered a promotion component. The CentOS web environment is formed
166893
by a central web application --to cover base needs (e.g., per-major
166893
release information like release notes, lifetime, downloads,
166893
documentation, support, security advisories, bugs, etc.)-- and many
166893
different free web applications --to cover specific needs (e.g.,
166893
wiki, mailing lists, etc.)--. 
166893

166893

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

166893

4c79b5
    166893
  • One unique name and one unique visual style to all web
  • 166893
    applications used inside the web environment.
    166893
    166893
  • One-step navigation to web applications inside the environment.
  • 166893
    166893
  • High degree of customization to change the visual style of all
  • 166893
    web applications with few changes (e.g, updating just two or three
    166893
    images plus common style sheet [CSS] definitions).
    4c79b5
    4c79b5
    166893

    The CentOS project is attached to a monolithic corporate visual

    166893
    identity (see section trunk/Identity), where all visual manifestations
    166893
    have one unique name and one unique visual style. This way, the CentOS
    166893
    web environment has one unique name (the CentOS brand) and one unique
    166893
    visual style (the CentOS default theme) for all its visual
    166893
    manifestations, the web applications in this case.
    166893

    166893

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

    166893
    style inside CentOS web environment is not a simple task. The CentOS
    166893
    web environment is built upon many different web applications which
    166893
    have different visual styles and different internal ways to customize
    166893
    their own visual styles. For example: MoinMoin, the web application
    166893
    used to support the CentOS wiki (http://wiki.centos.org/) is
    166893
    highly customizable but Mailman (in its 2.x.x serie), the web
    166893
    application used to support the CentOS mailing list, doesn't
    166893
    support(1) a customization system that separates
    166893
    presentation from logic, similar to that used by MoinMoin.
    166893

    166893

    This visual style diversity complicates our goal of one unique visual

    166893
    style for all web applications. So, if we want one unique visual style
    166893
    for all web applications used, it is innevitable to modify the web
    166893
    applications in order to implement the CentOS one unique visual style
    166893
    customization in them. Direct modification of upstream applications is
    166893
    not convenient because upstream applications come with their one
    166893
    visual style and administrators take the risk of loosing all
    166893
    customization changes the next time the application be updated (since
    166893
    not all upstream web applications, used in CentOS web environment,
    166893
    separate presentation from logic).
    166893

    166893

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

    166893
    actualization of web applications --used inside CentOS web
    166893
    environment-- need to be independent from upstream web applications
    166893
    development line; in a way that CentOS web environment administrators
    166893
    can install and update web applications freely without risk of loosing
    166893
    the one unique visual style customization changes. 
    166893

    166893

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

    166893
    repository to store CentOS web environment customized web applications.

    3.12.2.4 Controlling visual style

    166893
    166893

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

    166893
    following compenents:
    166893

    166893
    166893
    Webenv header background
    166893
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png
    166893
    166893
    166893
    CSS definitions
    166893
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Promo/Web/CSS/stylesheet.css
    166893
    166893
    166893
    166893
    166893
    166893

    3.12.2.5 Producing visual style

    166893
    166893

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

    166893
    files:
    166893

    166893
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Xcf/1024x250.xcf
    166893
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png
    166893
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250-bg.png
    166893
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Tpl/1024x250.svg
    166893
    166893

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

    166893
    <tt>`1024x250-bg.png'</tt> file. Later, inside <tt>`1024x250.svg'</tt> file,
    166893
    you use the <tt>`1024x250-bg.png'</tt> file as background layer to draw
    166893
    your vectorial design. When you consider you artwork ready, use the
    166893
    centos-art.sh script, as described below, to produce the
    166893
    visual style controller images of CentOS web environment.
    166893

    166893
    centos-art render --entry=trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds --filter='1024x250'
    166893
    166893

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

    166893
    of CentOS web environment is a matter of replacing old image files
    166893
    with new ones, inside webenv repository file system structure. The
    166893
    visual style changes will take effect the next time customization line
    166893
    of CentOS web applications be packaged, uploded, and installed from
    166893
    [webenv] or [webenv-test] repositories.
    166893

    166893
    166893
    166893

    3.12.2.6 Navigation

    166893
    166893

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

    166893
    applications is addressed using the web environment navigation bar.
    166893
    The web environment navigation bar contains links to main applications
    166893
    and is always visible no matter where you are inside the web
    166893
    environment.
    166893

    166893
    166893
    166893

    3.12.2.7 Development and release cycle

    166893
    166893

    The CentOS web environment development and relase cycle is described

    166893
    below: 
    166893

    166893
    166893
    Download
    166893
    166893

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

    166893
    want to use inside CentOS web environment.
    166893

    166893
    Important

    Important

    The source location from which web application are

    166893
    downloaded is very important. Use SRPMs from CentOS [base]
    166893
    and [updates] repositories as first choise, and third party
    166893
    repositories (e.g. RPMForge, EPEL, etc.) as last resource.
    166893

    166893
    166893
    166893
    Prepare
    166893
    166893

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

    166893
    organize its files inside <samp>`webenv'</samp> version controlled repository.
    166893

    166893

    When preparing the structure keep in mind that different web

    166893
    applications have different visual styles, and also different ways to
    166893
    implement it. A convenient way to organize the file system structure
    166893
    would be create one development line for each web application we use
    166893
    inside CentOS web environment. For example, consider the following
    166893
    file system structure:
    166893

    166893
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    166893
    |-- WebApp1/
    166893
    |   |-- Sources/
    166893
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    166893
    |   |-- Rpms/
    166893
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    166893
    |   |-- Srpms/
    166893
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    166893
    |   `-- Specs/
    166893
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    166893
    |-- WebApp2/
    166893
    `-- WebAppN/
    166893
    166893
    166893
    Customize
    166893
    166893

    Once web applications have been organized inside the version

    166893
    controlled repository file system, use subversion to create the CentOS
    166893
    customization development line of web applications source code.  For
    166893
    example, using the above file system structure, you can create the
    166893
    customization development line of <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1/'</tt> with the
    166893
    following command:
    166893

    166893
    svn cp trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1 trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1-webenv
    166893
    166893

    The command above creates the following structure:

    166893

    166893
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    166893
    |-- WebApp1/
    166893
    |   |-- Sources/
    166893
    |   |   |-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    166893
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv/
    166893
    |   |-- Rpms/
    166893
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    166893
    |   |-- Srpms/
    166893
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    166893
    |   `-- Specs/
    166893
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    166893
    |-- WebApp2/
    166893
    `-- WebAppN/
    166893
    166893

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

    166893
    the place where you customize the visual style of
    166893
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1/'</tt> web application. 
    166893

    166893
    Info

    Tip

    Use the diff command of Subversion between

    166893
    CentOS customization and upstream development lines to know what you
    166893
    are changing exactly.
    166893

    166893
    166893
    166893
    Build packages
    166893
    166893

    When web application has been customized, build the web application

    166893
    RPM and SRPM using the source location with <samp>`-webenv'</samp> prefix. 
    166893

    166893
    166893
    166893
    Release for testing
    166893
    166893

    When the customized web application has been packaged, make packages

    166893
    available for testing and quality assurance. This can be achives using
    166893
    a [webenv-test] yum repository. 
    166893

    166893
    info

    Note

    The [webenv-test] repository is not shipped inside

    166893
    CentOS distribution default yum configuraiton. In order to use
    166893
    [webenv-test] repository you need to configure it first.
    166893

    166893
    166893

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

    166893
    of web application, the problem is notified somewhere (a bugtracker
    166893
    maybe) and the customization face is repated in order to fix the
    166893
    problem. To release the new package add a number after <samp>`-webenv'</samp>
    166893
    prefix. For example, if some problem is found in
    166893
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.rpm'</tt>, when it be fixed the new package will
    166893
    be named <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'</tt>. If a problem is found in
    166893
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'</tt>, when it be fixed the new package
    166893
    will be named <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-2.rpm'</tt>, and so on.
    166893

    166893

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

    166893
    until CentOS quality assurance team considers the package is ready for
    166893
    production.
    166893

    166893
    166893
    Release for production
    166893
    166893

    When customized web application packages are considered ready for

    166893
    production they are moved from [webenv-test] to [webenv] repository.
    166893
    This action is commited by CentOS quality assurance team.
    166893

    166893
    info

    Note

    The [webenv] repository is not shipped inside CentOS

    166893
    distribution default yum configuraiton. In order to use [webenv]
    166893
    repository you need to configure it first.
