3.13.1 Goals

4c79b5
7bbd70

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

7bbd70
web environment.
7bbd70

7bbd70
7bbd70
7bbd70

3.13.2 The CentOS web environment

7bbd70
7bbd70

Inside CentOS corporate identity, the CentOS web environment is

7bbd70
considered a promotion component. The CentOS web environment is formed
7bbd70
by a central web application --to cover base needs (e.g., per-major
7bbd70
release information like release notes, lifetime, downloads,
7bbd70
documentation, support, security advisories, bugs, etc.)-- and many
7bbd70
different free web applications --to cover specific needs (e.g.,
7bbd70
wiki, mailing lists, etc.)--. 
7bbd70

7bbd70

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

7bbd70

5fb024
    7bbd70
  • One unique name and one unique visual style to all web
  • 7bbd70
    applications used inside the web environment.
    7bbd70
    7bbd70
  • One-step navigation to web applications inside the environment.
  • 7bbd70
    7bbd70
  • High degree of customization to change the visual style of all
  • 7bbd70
    web applications with few changes (e.g, updating just two or three
    7bbd70
    images plus common style sheet [CSS] definitions).
    5fb024
    5fb024
    7bbd70

    The CentOS project is attached to a monolithic corporate visual

    7bbd70
    identity (see section trunk/Identity), where all visual manifestations
    7bbd70
    have one unique name and one unique visual style. This way, the CentOS
    7bbd70
    web environment has one unique name (the CentOS brand) and one unique
    7bbd70
    visual style (the CentOS default theme) for all its visual
    7bbd70
    manifestations, the web applications in this case.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    style inside CentOS web environment is not a simple task. The CentOS
    7bbd70
    web environment is built upon many different web applications which
    7bbd70
    have different visual styles and different internal ways to customize
    7bbd70
    their own visual styles. For example: MoinMoin, the web application
    7bbd70
    used to support the CentOS wiki (http://wiki.centos.org/) is
    7bbd70
    highly customizable but Mailman (in its 2.x.x serie), the web
    7bbd70
    application used to support the CentOS mailing list, doesn't
    7bbd70
    support(1) a customization system that separates
    7bbd70
    presentation from logic, similar to that used by MoinMoin.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70

    This visual style diversity complicates our goal of one unique visual

    7bbd70
    style for all web applications. So, if we want one unique visual style
    7bbd70
    for all web applications used, it is innevitable to modify the web
    7bbd70
    applications in order to implement the CentOS one unique visual style
    7bbd70
    customization in them. Direct modification of upstream applications is
    7bbd70
    not convenient because upstream applications come with their one
    7bbd70
    visual style and administrators take the risk of loosing all
    7bbd70
    customization changes the next time the application be updated (since
    7bbd70
    not all upstream web applications, used in CentOS web environment,
    7bbd70
    separate presentation from logic).
    7bbd70

    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    actualization of web applications --used inside CentOS web
    7bbd70
    environment-- need to be independent from upstream web applications
    7bbd70
    development line; in a way that CentOS web environment administrators
    7bbd70
    can install and update web applications freely without risk of loosing
    7bbd70
    the one unique visual style customization changes. 
    7bbd70

    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    repository to store CentOS web environment customized web applications.

    3.13.2.4 Controlling visual style

    7bbd70
    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    following compenents:
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    Webenv header background
    7bbd70
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png

    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

    3.13.2.5 Producing visual style

    7bbd70
    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    files:
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Xcf/1024x250.xcf
    7bbd70
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png
    7bbd70
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250-bg.png
    7bbd70
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Tpl/1024x250.svg
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    <tt>`1024x250-bg.png'</tt> file. Later, inside <tt>`1024x250.svg'</tt> file,
    7bbd70
    you use the <tt>`1024x250-bg.png'</tt> file as background layer to draw
    7bbd70
    your vectorial design. When you consider you artwork ready, use the
    7bbd70
    centos-art.sh script, as described below, to produce the
    7bbd70
    visual style controller images of CentOS web environment.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    centos-art render --entry=trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds --filter='1024x250'
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    of CentOS web environment is a matter of replacing old image files
    7bbd70
    with new ones, inside webenv repository file system structure. The
    7bbd70
    visual style changes will take effect the next time customization line
    7bbd70
    of CentOS web applications be packaged, uploded, and installed from
    7bbd70
    [webenv] or [webenv-test] repositories.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

    3.13.2.6 Navigation

    7bbd70
    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    applications is addressed using the web environment navigation bar.
    7bbd70
    The web environment navigation bar contains links to main applications
    7bbd70
    and is always visible no matter where you are inside the web
    7bbd70
    environment.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

    3.13.2.7 Development and release cycle

    7bbd70
    7bbd70

    The CentOS web environment development and relase cycle is described

    7bbd70
    below: 
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    Download
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    want to use inside CentOS web environment.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    Important

    Important

    The source location from which web application are

    7bbd70
    downloaded is very important. Use SRPMs from CentOS [base]
    7bbd70
    and [updates] repositories as first choise, and third party
    7bbd70
    repositories (e.g. RPMForge, EPEL, etc.) as last resource.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    Prepare
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    organize its files inside <samp>`webenv'</samp> version controlled repository.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70

    When preparing the structure keep in mind that different web

    7bbd70
    applications have different visual styles, and also different ways to
    7bbd70
    implement it. A convenient way to organize the file system structure
    7bbd70
    would be create one development line for each web application we use
    7bbd70
    inside CentOS web environment. For example, consider the following
    7bbd70
    file system structure:
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    7bbd70
    |-- WebApp1/
    7bbd70
    |   |-- Sources/
    7bbd70
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    7bbd70
    |   |-- Rpms/
    7bbd70
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    7bbd70
    |   |-- Srpms/
    7bbd70
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    7bbd70
    |   `-- Specs/
    7bbd70
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    7bbd70
    |-- WebApp2/
    7bbd70
    `-- WebAppN/
    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    Customize
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

    Once web applications have been organized inside the version

    7bbd70
    controlled repository file system, use subversion to create the CentOS
    7bbd70
    customization development line of web applications source code.  For
    7bbd70
    example, using the above file system structure, you can create the
    7bbd70
    customization development line of <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1/'</tt> with the
    7bbd70
    following command:
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    svn cp trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1 trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1-webenv
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

    The command above creates the following structure:

    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    7bbd70
    |-- WebApp1/
    7bbd70
    |   |-- Sources/
    7bbd70
    |   |   |-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    7bbd70
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv/
    7bbd70
    |   |-- Rpms/
    7bbd70
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    7bbd70
    |   |-- Srpms/
    7bbd70
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    7bbd70
    |   `-- Specs/
    7bbd70
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    7bbd70
    |-- WebApp2/
    7bbd70
    `-- WebAppN/
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    the place where you customize the visual style of
    7bbd70
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1/'</tt> web application. 
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    Info

    Tip

    Use the diff command of Subversion between

    7bbd70
    CentOS customization and upstream development lines to know what you
    7bbd70
    are changing exactly.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    Build packages
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

    When web application has been customized, build the web application

    7bbd70
    RPM and SRPM using the source location with <samp>`-webenv'</samp> prefix. 
    7bbd70

    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    `-- WebAppN/
    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    Release for testing
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

    When the customized web application has been packaged, make packages

    7bbd70
    available for testing and quality assurance. This can be achives using
    7bbd70
    a [webenv-test] yum repository. 
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    info

    Note

    The [webenv-test] repository is not shipped inside

    7bbd70
    CentOS distribution default yum configuraiton. In order to use
    7bbd70
    [webenv-test] repository you need to configure it first.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    of web application, the problem is notified somewhere (a bugtracker
    7bbd70
    maybe) and the customization face is repated in order to fix the
    7bbd70
    problem. To release the new package add a number after <samp>`-webenv'</samp>
    7bbd70
    prefix. For example, if some problem is found in
    7bbd70
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.rpm'</tt>, when it be fixed the new package will
    7bbd70
    be named <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'</tt>. If a problem is found in
    7bbd70
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'</tt>, when it be fixed the new package
    7bbd70
    will be named <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-2.rpm'</tt>, and so on.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70

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

    7bbd70
    until CentOS quality assurance team considers the package is ready for
    7bbd70
    production.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70
    7bbd70
    Release for production
    7bbd70
    7bbd70

    When customized web application packages are considered ready for

    7bbd70
    production they are moved from [webenv-test] to [webenv] repository.
    7bbd70
    This action is commited by CentOS quality assurance team.
    7bbd70

    7bbd70

    The [webenv] repository is not shipped inside CentOS

    7bbd70
