3.59.1 Goals

bf28e1
bf28e1

This section exists to organize files related to <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>

bf28e1
script <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality.  The <samp>`verify'</samp>
bf28e1
functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script helps you to verify the
bf28e1
workstation configuration you are planning to use as host for your
bf28e1
working copy of CentOS Artwork Repository.
bf28e1

bf28e1
bf28e1
bf28e1

3.59.2 Description

bf28e1
bf28e1

The first time you download CentOS Artwork Repository you need to

bf28e1
configure your workstation in order to use <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
bf28e1
script.  These preliminar configurations are based mainly on auxiliar
bf28e1
RPM packages installation, symbolic links creations, and environment
bf28e1
variables definitions.  The <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality of
bf28e1
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script guides you through this preliminar
bf28e1
configuration process.  
bf28e1

bf28e1

If this is the first time you run <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script, the

bf28e1
appropriate way to use its <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality is not using
bf28e1
the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script directly, but the absolute path to
bf28e1
centos-art.sh script instead (i.e.,
bf28e1
<tt>`~/artwork/trunk/Scripts/Bash/centos-art.sh'</tt>).  This is necessary
bf28e1
because <tt>`centos-art'</tt> symbolic link, under <tt>`~/bin/'</tt>
bf28e1
directory, has not been created yet.

3.59.2.1 Packages

008ee0
bf28e1

Installation of auxiliar RPM packages provides the software required

bf28e1
to manipulate files inside the repository (e.g., image files,
bf28e1
documentation files, translation files, script files, etc.). Most of
bf28e1
RPM packages centos-art.sh script uses are shipped with
bf28e1
CentOS distribution, and can be installed from CentOS base repository.
bf28e1
The only exception is <samp>`inkscape'</samp>, the package we use to
bf28e1
manipulate SVG files.  The <samp>`inkscape'</samp> package is not inside
bf28e1
CentOS distribution so it needs to be installed from third party
bf28e1
repositories.
bf28e1

bf28e1
info

Note

Configuration of third party repositories inside CentOS

bf28e1
distribution is described in CentOS wiki, specifically in the
bf28e1
following URL:
bf28e1
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
bf28e1

bf28e1
bf28e1

Before installing packages, the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses

bf28e1
sudo to request root privileges to execute yum
bf28e1
installation functionality.  If your user isn't defined as a
bf28e1
privileged user--at least to run yum commands-- inside
bf28e1
<tt>`/etc/sudoers'</tt> configuration file, you will not be able to
bf28e1
perform package installation tasks as set in <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
bf28e1
script <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality. 
bf28e1

bf28e1

Setting sudo privileges to users is an administrative task you have to

bf28e1
do by yourself. If you don't have experience with sudo
bf28e1
command, please read its man page running the command: man
bf28e1
sudo. This reading will be very useful, and with some practice, you
bf28e1
will be able to configure your users to have sudo
bf28e1
privileges.

3.59.2.2 Links

008ee0
bf28e1

Creation of symbolic links helps us to alternate between different

bf28e1
implementations of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script-line (e.g.,
bf28e1
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>, for Bash implementation; <tt>`centos-art.py'</tt>,
bf28e1
for Python implementation; <tt>`centos-art.pl'</tt>, for Perl
bf28e1
implementation; and so on for other implementations). The
bf28e1
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script-line definition takes place inside your
bf28e1
personal binary (<tt>`~/bin/'</tt>) directory in order to make the script
bf28e1
implementation --the one that <tt>`centos-art'</tt> links to-- available
bf28e1
to PATH environment variable.
bf28e1

bf28e1

Creation of symbolic links helps us to reuse components from repository

bf28e1
working copy. For example, color information files maintained inside
bf28e1
your working copy must never be duplicated inside program-specific
bf28e1
configuration directories that uses them in your workstation (e.g.,
bf28e1
Gimp, Inkscape, etc.).  Instead, a symbolic link must be created for
bf28e1
each one of them, from program-specific configuration directories to
bf28e1
files in the working copy.  In this configuration, when someone
bf28e1
commits changes to color information files up to central repository,
bf28e1
they--the changes committed-- will be immediatly available to your
bf28e1
programs the next time you update your working copy --the place
bf28e1
inside your workstation those color information files are stored--.
bf28e1

bf28e1

Creation of symbolic links helps us to make <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>

bf28e1
script functionalities available outside <tt>`trunk/'</tt> repository
bf28e1
directory structure, but at its same level in repository tree. This is
bf28e1
useful if you need to use the "render" functionality of
bf28e1
centos-art.sh under <tt>`branches/'</tt> repository directory
bf28e1
structure as you usually do inside <tt>`trunk/'</tt> repository directory
bf28e1
structure. As consequence of this configuration, automation scripts
bf28e1
cannot be branched under <tt>`branches/Scripts'</tt> directory structure.

3.59.2.3 Environment variables

bf28e1
bf28e1

Definition of environemnt variables helps us to set default values to

bf28e1
our user session life. The user session environment variable defintion
bf28e1
takes place in the user's <tt>`~/.bash_profile'</tt> file.  The
bf28e1
<samp>`verify'</samp> functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script doesn't
bf28e1
modify your <tt>`~/.bash_profile'</tt> file.  
bf28e1

bf28e1

The <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script

bf28e1
evaluates the following environment variables:
bf28e1

bf28e1
bf28e1
EDITOR
bf28e1

Default text editor.

bf28e1

bf28e1

The <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses default text EDITOR to edit

bf28e1
pre-commit subversion messages, translation files, configuration
bf28e1
files, script files, and similar text-based files.
bf28e1

bf28e1

If EDITOR environment variable is not set, <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>

bf28e1
script uses <tt>`/usr/bin/vim'</tt> as default text editor. Otherwise, the
bf28e1
following values are recognized by <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script:
bf28e1

bf28e1
    bf28e1
  • <tt>`/usr/bin/vim'</tt>
  • bf28e1
  • <tt>`/usr/bin/emacs'</tt>
  • bf28e1
  • <tt>`/usr/bin/nano'</tt>
  • bf28e1
    bf28e1
    bf28e1

    If no one of these values is set in EDITOR environment variable,

    bf28e1
    <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> uses <tt>`/usr/bin/vim'</tt> text editor by default. 
    bf28e1

    bf28e1
    bf28e1
    TEXTDOMAIN
    bf28e1
    bf28e1

    Default domain used to retrieve translated messages. This variable is

    bf28e1
    set in <tt>`initFunctions.sh'</tt> and shouldn't be changed.
    bf28e1

    bf28e1
    bf28e1
    TEXTDOMAINDIR
    bf28e1
    bf28e1

    Default directory used to retrieve translated messages. This variable

    bf28e1
    is set in <tt>`initFunctions.sh'</tt> and shouldn't be changed.
    bf28e1

    bf28e1
    bf28e1
    LANG
    bf28e1
    bf28e1

    Default locale information.

    bf28e1

    bf28e1

    This variable is initially set in the configuration process of CentOS

    bf28e1
    distribution installer (i.e., Anaconda), specifically in the
    bf28e1
    <samp>`Language'</samp> step; or once installed using the
    bf28e1
    system-config-language tool.
    bf28e1

    bf28e1

    The <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses the LANG environment

    bf28e1
    variable to know in which language the script messages are printed
    bf28e1
    out.
    bf28e1

    bf28e1
    bf28e1
    TZ
    bf28e1
    bf28e1

    Default time zone representation.

    bf28e1

    bf28e1

    This variable is initially set in the configuration process of CentOS

    bf28e1
    distribution installer (i.e., Anaconda), specifically in the
    bf28e1
    <samp>`Date and time'</samp> step; or once installed using the
    bf28e1
    system-config-date tool.
    bf28e1

    bf28e1

    The <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script doesn't use the TZ environment

    bf28e1
    variable information at all. Instead, this variable is used by the
    bf28e1
    system shell to show the time information according to your phisical
    bf28e1
    location on planet Earth.  
    bf28e1

    bf28e1

    Inside your computer, the time information is firstly set in the BIOS

    bf28e1
    clock (which may need correction), and later in the configuration
    bf28e1
    process of CentOS distribution installer (or later, by any of the
    bf28e1
    related configuration tools inside CentOS distribution).  Generally,
    bf28e1
    setting time information is a straight-forward task and configuration
    bf28e1
    tools available do cover most relevant location. However, if you need
    bf28e1
    a time precision not provided by the configuration tools available
    bf28e1
    inside CentOS distribution then, using TZ variable may be
    bf28e1
    necessary.
    bf28e1

    bf28e1
    Convenction

    Convenction

    In order to keep changes syncronized between

    bf28e1
    central repository and its working copies: configure both repository
    bf28e1
    server and workstations (i.e., the place where each working copy is
    bf28e1
    set on) to use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as base time
    bf28e1
    representation.  Later, correct the time information for your specific
    bf28e1
    location using time zone correction.
    bf28e1

    008ee0
    bf28e1

    The format of TZ environment variable is described in

    bf28e1
    <tt>`tzset(3)'</tt> manual page.

    3.59.3 Usage

    008ee0
    bf28e1
    bf28e1
    centos-art verify --packages
    bf28e1
    bf28e1

    Verify required packages your workstation needs in order to run the

    bf28e1
    <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script correctly.  If there are missing packages,
    bf28e1
    the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script asks you to confirm their
    bf28e1
    installation. When installing packages, the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
    bf28e1
    script uses the yum application in order to achieve the
    bf28e1
    task.
    bf28e1

    bf28e1

    In case all packages required by <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script are

    bf28e1
    already installed in your workstation, the message <samp>`The required
    bf28e1
    packages are already installed.'</samp> is output for you to know. 
    bf28e1

    bf28e1
    bf28e1
    centos-art verify --links
    bf28e1
    bf28e1

    Verify required links your workstation needs in order to run the

    bf28e1
    centos-art command correctly.  If any required link is missing, the
    bf28e1
    centos-art.sh script asks you to confirm their installation.
    bf28e1
    To install required links, the centos-art.sh script uses the
    bf28e1
    ln command.
    2dc146

    bf28e1

    In case all links required by <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script are already

    bf28e1
    created in your workstation, the message <samp>`The required links are
    bf28e1
    already installed.'</samp> is output for you to know. 
    bf28e1

    bf28e1

    In case a regular file exists with the same name of a required link,

    bf28e1
    the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script outputs the <samp>`Already exists as
    bf28e1
    regular file.'</samp> message when listing required links that will be
    bf28e1
    installed. Of course, as there is already a regular file where must be
    bf28e1
    a link, no link is created. In such cases the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
    bf28e1
    script will fall into a continue installation request for that missing
    bf28e1
    link.  To end this continue request you can answer <samp>`No'</samp>, or
    bf28e1
    remove the existent regular file to let <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script
    bf28e1
    install the link on its place.
    bf28e1

    bf28e1
    bf28e1
    centos-art verify --environment
    bf28e1
    centos-art verify --environment --filter='regex'
    bf28e1
    bf28e1

    Output a brief description of environment variables used by

    bf28e1
    <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script. 
    bf28e1

    bf28e1

    If <samp>`--filter'</samp> option is provided, output is reduced as defined in

    bf28e1
    the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expression value. If <samp>`--filter'</samp> option
    bf28e1
    is specified but <samp>`regex'</samp> value is not, the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
    bf28e1
    script outputs information as if <samp>`--filter'</samp> option had not been
    bf28e1
    provided at all.
