3.13.1 Goals

4c79b5
7fa1fb

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

7fa1fb
web environment.
7fa1fb

7fa1fb
7fa1fb
7fa1fb

3.13.2 The CentOS web environment

7fa1fb
7fa1fb

Inside CentOS corporate identity, the CentOS web environment is

7fa1fb
considered a promotion component. The CentOS web environment is formed
7fa1fb
by a central web application --to cover base needs (e.g., per-major
7fa1fb
release information like release notes, lifetime, downloads,
7fa1fb
documentation, support, security advisories, bugs, etc.)-- and many
7fa1fb
different free web applications --to cover specific needs (e.g.,
7fa1fb
wiki, mailing lists, etc.)--. 
7fa1fb

7fa1fb

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

7fa1fb

5fb024
    7fa1fb
  • One unique name and one unique visual style to all web
  • 7fa1fb
    applications used inside the web environment.
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
  • One-step navigation to web applications inside the environment.
  • 7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
  • High degree of customization to change the visual style of all
  • 7fa1fb
    web applications with few changes (e.g, updating just two or three
    7fa1fb
    images plus common style sheet [CSS] definitions).
    5fb024
    5fb024
    7fa1fb

    The CentOS project is attached to a monolithic corporate visual

    7fa1fb
    identity (see section trunk/Identity), where all visual manifestations
    7fa1fb
    have one unique name and one unique visual style. This way, the CentOS
    7fa1fb
    web environment has one unique name (the CentOS brand) and one unique
    7fa1fb
    visual style (the CentOS default theme) for all its visual
    7fa1fb
    manifestations, the web applications in this case.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    style inside CentOS web environment is not a simple task. The CentOS
    7fa1fb
    web environment is built upon many different web applications which
    7fa1fb
    have different visual styles and different internal ways to customize
    7fa1fb
    their own visual styles. For example: MoinMoin, the web application
    7fa1fb
    used to support the CentOS wiki (http://wiki.centos.org/) is
    7fa1fb
    highly customizable but Mailman (in its 2.x.x serie), the web
    7fa1fb
    application used to support the CentOS mailing list, doesn't
    7fa1fb
    support(1) a customization system that separates
    7fa1fb
    presentation from logic, similar to that used by MoinMoin.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb

    This visual style diversity complicates our goal of one unique visual

    7fa1fb
    style for all web applications. So, if we want one unique visual style
    7fa1fb
    for all web applications used, it is innevitable to modify the web
    7fa1fb
    applications in order to implement the CentOS one unique visual style
    7fa1fb
    customization in them. Direct modification of upstream applications is
    7fa1fb
    not convenient because upstream applications come with their one
    7fa1fb
    visual style and administrators take the risk of loosing all
    7fa1fb
    customization changes the next time the application be updated (since
    7fa1fb
    not all upstream web applications, used in CentOS web environment,
    7fa1fb
    separate presentation from logic).
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    actualization of web applications --used inside CentOS web
    7fa1fb
    environment-- need to be independent from upstream web applications
    7fa1fb
    development line; in a way that CentOS web environment administrators
    7fa1fb
    can install and update web applications freely without risk of loosing
    7fa1fb
    the one unique visual style customization changes. 
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    repository to store CentOS web environment customized web applications.

    7fa1fb

    3.13.2.4 Controlling visual style

    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    following compenents:
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    Webenv header background
    7fa1fb
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    CSS definitions
    7fa1fb
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Promo/Web/CSS/stylesheet.css
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

    3.13.2.5 Producing visual style

    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    files:
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Xcf/1024x250.xcf
    7fa1fb
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png
    7fa1fb
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250-bg.png
    7fa1fb
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Tpl/1024x250.svg
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    <tt>`1024x250-bg.png'</tt> file. Later, inside <tt>`1024x250.svg'</tt> file,
    7fa1fb
    you use the <tt>`1024x250-bg.png'</tt> file as background layer to draw
    7fa1fb
    your vectorial design. When you consider you artwork ready, use the
    7fa1fb
    centos-art.sh script, as described below, to produce the
    7fa1fb
    visual style controller images of CentOS web environment.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    centos-art render --entry=trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds --filter='1024x250'
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    of CentOS web environment is a matter of replacing old image files
    7fa1fb
    with new ones, inside webenv repository file system structure. The
    7fa1fb
    visual style changes will take effect the next time customization line
    7fa1fb
    of CentOS web applications be packaged, uploded, and installed from
    7fa1fb
    [webenv] or [webenv-test] repositories.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

    3.13.2.6 Navigation

    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    applications is addressed using the web environment navigation bar.
    7fa1fb
    The web environment navigation bar contains links to main applications
    7fa1fb
    and is always visible no matter where you are inside the web
    7fa1fb
    environment.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

    3.13.2.7 Development and release cycle

    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

    The CentOS web environment development and relase cycle is described

    7fa1fb
    below: 
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    Download
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    want to use inside CentOS web environment.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    Important

    Important

    The source location from which web application are

    7fa1fb
    downloaded is very important. Use SRPMs from CentOS [base]
    7fa1fb
    and [updates] repositories as first choise, and third party
    7fa1fb
    repositories (e.g. RPMForge, EPEL, etc.) as last resource.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    Prepare
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    organize its files inside <samp>`webenv'</samp> version controlled repository.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb

    When preparing the structure keep in mind that different web

    7fa1fb
    applications have different visual styles, and also different ways to
    7fa1fb
    implement it. A convenient way to organize the file system structure
    7fa1fb
    would be create one development line for each web application we use
    7fa1fb
    inside CentOS web environment. For example, consider the following
    7fa1fb
    file system structure:
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    7fa1fb
    |-- WebApp1/
    7fa1fb
    |   |-- Sources/
    7fa1fb
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    7fa1fb
    |   |-- Rpms/
    7fa1fb
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    7fa1fb
    |   |-- Srpms/
    7fa1fb
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    7fa1fb
    |   `-- Specs/
    7fa1fb
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    7fa1fb
    |-- WebApp2/
    7fa1fb
    `-- WebAppN/
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    Customize
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

    Once web applications have been organized inside the version

    7fa1fb
    controlled repository file system, use subversion to create the CentOS
    7fa1fb
    customization development line of web applications source code.  For
    7fa1fb
    example, using the above file system structure, you can create the
    7fa1fb
    customization development line of <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1/'</tt> with the
    7fa1fb
    following command:
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    svn cp trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1 trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1-webenv
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

    The command above creates the following structure:

    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    7fa1fb
    |-- WebApp1/
    7fa1fb
    |   |-- Sources/
    7fa1fb
    |   |   |-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    7fa1fb
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv/
    7fa1fb
    |   |-- Rpms/
    7fa1fb
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    7fa1fb
    |   |-- Srpms/
    7fa1fb
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    7fa1fb
    |   `-- Specs/
    7fa1fb
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    7fa1fb
    |-- WebApp2/
    7fa1fb
    `-- WebAppN/
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    the place where you customize the visual style of
    7fa1fb
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1/'</tt> web application. 
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    Info

    Tip

    Use the diff command of Subversion between

    7fa1fb
    CentOS customization and upstream development lines to know what you
    7fa1fb
    are changing exactly.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    Build packages
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

    When web application has been customized, build the web application

    7fa1fb
    RPM and SRPM using the source location with <samp>`-webenv'</samp> prefix. 
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    7fa1fb
    |-- WebApp1/
    7fa1fb
    |   |-- Sources/
    7fa1fb
    |   |   |-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    7fa1fb
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv/
    7fa1fb
    |   |-- Rpms/
    7fa1fb
    |   |   |-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    7fa1fb
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.rpm
    7fa1fb
    |   |-- Srpms/
    7fa1fb
    |   |   |-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    7fa1fb
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.srpm
    7fa1fb
    |   `-- Specs/
    7fa1fb
    |       |-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    7fa1fb
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.spec
    7fa1fb
    |-- WebApp2/
    7fa1fb
    `-- WebAppN/
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    Release for testing
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

    When the customized web application has been packaged, make packages

    7fa1fb
    available for testing and quality assurance. This can be achives using
    7fa1fb
    a [webenv-test] yum repository. 
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    info

    Note

    The [webenv-test] repository is not shipped inside

    7fa1fb
    CentOS distribution default yum configuraiton. In order to use
    7fa1fb
    [webenv-test] repository you need to configure it first.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    of web application, the problem is notified somewhere (a bugtracker
    7fa1fb
    maybe) and the customization face is repated in order to fix the
    7fa1fb
    problem. To release the new package add a number after <samp>`-webenv'</samp>
    7fa1fb
    prefix. For example, if some problem is found in
    7fa1fb
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.rpm'</tt>, when it be fixed the new package will
    7fa1fb
    be named <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'</tt>. If a problem is found in
    7fa1fb
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'</tt>, when it be fixed the new package
    7fa1fb
    will be named <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-2.rpm'</tt>, and so on.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb

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

    7fa1fb
    until CentOS quality assurance team considers the package is ready for
    7fa1fb
    production.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb
    Release for production
    7fa1fb
    7fa1fb

    When customized web application packages are considered ready for

    7fa1fb
    production they are moved from [webenv-test] to [webenv] repository.
    7fa1fb
    This action is commited by CentOS quality assurance team.
    7fa1fb

    7fa1fb
    info

    Note

    The [webenv] repository is not shipped inside CentOS

    7fa1fb
    distribution default yum configuraiton. In order to use [webenv]
    7fa1fb
    repository you need to configure it first.
