3.13.1 Goals

d11e55

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

d11e55
web environment.
d11e55

3.13.2 The CentOS web environment

d11e55
d11e55

Inside CentOS corporate identity, the CentOS web environment is

d11e55
considered a promotion component. The CentOS web environment is formed
d11e55
by a central web application --to cover base needs (e.g., per-major
d11e55
release information like release notes, lifetime, downloads,
d11e55
documentation, support, security advisories, bugs, etc.)-- and many
d11e55
different free web applications --to cover specific needs (e.g.,
d11e55
wiki, mailing lists, etc.)--. 
d11e55

d11e55

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

d11e55

5fb024
    d11e55
  • One unique name and one unique visual style to all web
  • d11e55
    applications used inside the web environment.
    d11e55
    d11e55
  • One-step navigation to web applications inside the environment.
  • d11e55
    d11e55
  • High degree of customization to change the visual style of all
  • d11e55
    web applications with few changes (e.g, updating just two or three
    d11e55
    images plus common style sheet [CSS] definitions).
    5fb024
    5fb024
    d11e55

    The CentOS project is attached to a monolithic corporate visual

    d11e55
    identity (see section trunk/Identity), where all visual manifestations
    d11e55
    have one unique name and one unique visual style. This way, the CentOS
    d11e55
    web environment has one unique name (the CentOS brand) and one unique
    d11e55
    visual style (the CentOS default theme) for all its visual
    d11e55
    manifestations, the web applications in this case.
    d11e55

    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    style inside CentOS web environment is not a simple task. The CentOS
    d11e55
    web environment is built upon many different web applications which
    d11e55
    have different visual styles and different internal ways to customize
    d11e55
    their own visual styles. For example: MoinMoin, the web application
    d11e55
    used to support the CentOS wiki (http://wiki.centos.org/) is
    d11e55
    highly customizable but Mailman (in its 2.x.x serie), the web
    d11e55
    application used to support the CentOS mailing list, doesn't
    d11e55
    support(1) a customization system that separates
    d11e55
    presentation from logic, similar to that used by MoinMoin.
    d11e55

    d11e55

    This visual style diversity complicates our goal of one unique visual

    d11e55
    style for all web applications. So, if we want one unique visual style
    d11e55
    for all web applications used, it is innevitable to modify the web
    d11e55
    applications in order to implement the CentOS one unique visual style
    d11e55
    customization in them. Direct modification of upstream applications is
    d11e55
    not convenient because upstream applications come with their one
    d11e55
    visual style and administrators take the risk of loosing all
    d11e55
    customization changes the next time the application be updated (since
    d11e55
    not all upstream web applications, used in CentOS web environment,
    d11e55
    separate presentation from logic).
    d11e55

    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    actualization of web applications --used inside CentOS web
    d11e55
    environment-- need to be independent from upstream web applications
    d11e55
    development line; in a way that CentOS web environment administrators
    d11e55
    can install and update web applications freely without risk of loosing
    d11e55
    the one unique visual style customization changes. 
    d11e55

    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    repository to store CentOS web environment customized web applications.

    3.13.2.4 Controlling visual style

    d11e55
    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    following compenents:
    d11e55

    d11e55
    d11e55
    Webenv header background

    3.13.2.5 Producing visual style

    d11e55
    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    files:
    d11e55

    d11e55
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Xcf/1024x250.xcf
    d11e55
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png
    d11e55
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250-bg.png
    d11e55
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Tpl/1024x250.svg
    d11e55
    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    <tt>`1024x250-bg.png'</tt> file. Later, inside <tt>`1024x250.svg'</tt> file,
    d11e55
    you use the <tt>`1024x250-bg.png'</tt> file as background layer to draw
    d11e55
    your vectorial design. When you consider you artwork ready, use the
    d11e55
    centos-art.sh script, as described below, to produce the
    d11e55
    visual style controller images of CentOS web environment.
    d11e55

    d11e55
    centos-art render --entry=trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds --filter='1024x250'
    d11e55
    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    of CentOS web environment is a matter of replacing old image files
    d11e55
    with new ones, inside webenv repository file system structure. The
    d11e55
    visual style changes will take effect the next time customization line
    d11e55
    of CentOS web applications be packaged, uploded, and installed from
    d11e55
    [webenv] or [webenv-test] repositories.

    3.13.2.6 Navigation

    d11e55
    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    applications is addressed using the web environment navigation bar.
    d11e55
    The web environment navigation bar contains links to main applications
    d11e55
    and is always visible no matter where you are inside the web
    d11e55
    environment.

    3.13.2.7 Development and release cycle

    d11e55
    d11e55

    The CentOS web environment development and relase cycle is described

    d11e55
    below: 
    d11e55

    d11e55
    d11e55
    Download
    d11e55
    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    want to use inside CentOS web environment.
    d11e55

    d11e55
    Important

    Important

    The source location from which web application are

    d11e55
    downloaded is very important. Use SRPMs from CentOS [base]
    d11e55
    and [updates] repositories as first choise, and third party
    d11e55
    repositories (e.g. RPMForge, EPEL, etc.) as last resource.
    d11e55

    d11e55
    d11e55
    d11e55
    Prepare
    d11e55
    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    organize its files inside <samp>`webenv'</samp> version controlled repository.
    d11e55

    d11e55

    When preparing the structure keep in mind that different web

    d11e55
    applications have different visual styles, and also different ways to
    d11e55
    implement it. A convenient way to organize the file system structure
    d11e55
    would be create one development line for each web application we use
    d11e55
    inside CentOS web environment. For example, consider the following
    d11e55
    file system structure:
    d11e55

    d11e55
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    d11e55
    |-- WebApp1/
    d11e55
    |   |-- Sources/
    d11e55
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    d11e55
    |   |-- Rpms/
    d11e55
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    d11e55
    |   |-- Srpms/
    d11e55
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    d11e55
    |   `-- Specs/
    d11e55
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    d11e55
    |-- WebApp2/
    d11e55
    `-- WebAppN/
    d11e55
    d11e55
    d11e55
    Customize
    d11e55
    d11e55

    Once web applications have been organized inside the version

    d11e55
    controlled repository file system, use subversion to create the CentOS
    d11e55
    customization development line of web applications source code.  For
    d11e55
    example, using the above file system structure, you can create the
    d11e55
    customization development line of <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1/'</tt> with the
    d11e55
    following command:
    d11e55

    d11e55
    svn cp trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1 trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1-webenv
    d11e55
    d11e55

    The command above creates the following structure:

    d11e55

    d11e55
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    d11e55
    |-- WebApp1/
    d11e55
    |   |-- Sources/
    d11e55
    |   |   |-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    d11e55
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv/
    d11e55
    |   |-- Rpms/
    d11e55
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    d11e55
    |   |-- Srpms/
    d11e55
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    d11e55
    |   `-- Specs/
    d11e55
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    d11e55
    |-- WebApp2/
    d11e55
    `-- WebAppN/
    d11e55
    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    the place where you customize the visual style of
    d11e55
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1/'</tt> web application. 
    d11e55

    d11e55
    Info

    Tip

    Use the diff command of Subversion between

    d11e55
    CentOS customization and upstream development lines to know what you
    d11e55
    are changing exactly.

    d11e55
    Release for testing
    d11e55
    d11e55

    When the customized web application has been packaged, make packages

    d11e55
    available for testing and quality assurance. This can be achives using
    d11e55
    a [webenv-test] yum repository. 
    d11e55

    d11e55
    info

    Note

    The [webenv-test] repository is not shipped inside

    d11e55
    CentOS distribution default yum configuraiton. In order to use
    d11e55
    [webenv-test] repository you need to configure it first.
    d11e55

    d11e55
    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    of web application, the problem is notified somewhere (a bugtracker
    d11e55
    maybe) and the customization face is repated in order to fix the
    d11e55
    problem. To release the new package add a number after <samp>`-webenv'</samp>
    d11e55
    prefix. For example, if some problem is found in
    d11e55
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.rpm'</tt>, when it be fixed the new package will
    d11e55
    be named <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'</tt>. If a problem is found in
    d11e55
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'</tt>, when it be fixed the new package
    d11e55
    will be named <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-2.rpm'</tt>, and so on.
    d11e55

    d11e55

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

    d11e55
    until CentOS quality assurance team considers the package is ready for
    d11e55
    production.
