&TCAR; started at
|
|
|
92942f |
url="mailto:centos-devel@centos.org">The CentOS Developers
|
|
|
92942f |
Mailing List</ulink> around 2008, on a discussion about how to
|
|
|
92942f |
automate slide images used by Anaconda (&TC;; installer). In
|
|
|
92942f |
such discussion, Ralph Angenendt rose up his hand to ask
|
|
|
92942f |
—Do you have something to show?—.

To answer the question, Alain Reguera Delgado suggested a bash
|
|
|
92942f |
script which combined SVG and SED files in order to produce
|
|
|
92942f |
PNG images in different languages —in conjunction with
|
|
|
92942f |
the proposition of creating a Subversion repository where
|
|
|
92942f |
translations and image production could be distributed inside
|
|
|
92942f |
&TC;;—.

Karanbirn Sighn considered the idea intresting and provided
|
|
|
92942f |
the infrastructure necessary to support the effort. This way,
|
|
|
92942f |
&TCAS; and &TCAR; were officially created and world wide
|
|
|
92942f |
available.

Once &TCAR; was available, Alain Reguera Delgado uploaded the
|
|
|
92942f |
bash script used to produce the Anaconda slides; Ralph
|
|
|
92942f |
Angenendt documented it very well; and people started to
|
|
|
92942f |
download working copies of the repository to produce slide
|
|
|
92942f |
images in their own languages.

From this time on, the &TCAR; has been under constant
|
|
|
92942f |
development to automate the production of &TC;; corporate
|
|
|
92942f |
visual identity. The list of all changes is available in the
|
|
|
92942f |
repository's log messages. A resumen of relevant changes is
|
|
|
92942f |
made available yearly in <xref linkend="repo-history" />.
