3.41.1 Goals

e37211
749e81

This section exists to organize files related to path

749e81
functiontionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script.  The path
749e81
functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script standardizes movement,
749e81
syncronization, branching, tagging, and general file maintainance
749e81
inside the repository.

3.41.2 Description

e37211
749e81

"CentOS like trees, has roots, trunk, branches, leaves and

749e81
flowers.  Day by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws
749e81
of nature and open standards, to show the beauty of its
749e81
existence."

3.41.2.1 Repository layout

c6292c
749e81

The repository layout describes organization of files and directories

749e81
inside the repository. The repository layout provides the standard
749e81
backend required for automation scripts to work correctly. If such
749e81
layout changes unexpectedly, automation scripts may confuse themselves
749e81
and stop doing what we expect from them to do.
749e81

749e81

As convenction, inside CentOS Artwork Repository, we organize files

749e81
and directories, related to CentOS corporate visual identity, under
749e81
three top level directories named <tt>`trunk/'</tt>, <tt>`branches/'</tt>, and
749e81
<tt>`tags/'</tt>.

Figure 3.10: The CentOS Artwork Repository layout.

749e81
749e81

749e81

The <tt>`trunk/'</tt> directory (see section trunk) organizes the main

749e81
development line of CentOS corporate visual identity. Inside
749e81
<tt>`trunk/'</tt> directory structure, the CentOS corporate visual
749e81
identity concepts are implemented using directories.  There is one
749e81
directory level for each relevant concept inside the repository. The
749e81
<tt>`trunk/'</tt> directory structure is mainly used to develop CentOS
749e81
corporate visual identity.
749e81

749e81

The <tt>`branches/'</tt> directory (see section branches) oranizes parallel

749e81
development lines to <tt>`trunk/'</tt> directory. The <tt>`branches/'</tt>
749e81
directory is used to set points in time where develpment lines are
749e81
devided one from another taking separte and idependent lives that
749e81
share a common past from the point they were devided on. The
749e81
<tt>`branches/'</tt> directory is mainly used to perform quality assurance
749e81
on CentOS corporate visual identity.
749e81

749e81

The <tt>`tags/'</tt> directory (see section tags) organizes parallel frozen

749e81
lines to <tt>`branches/'</tt> directory.  The parallel frozen lines are
749e81
immutable, nothing change inside them once they has been created.  The
749e81
<tt>`tags/'</tt> directory is mainly used to publish final releases of
749e81
CentOS corporate visual identity.
749e81

749e81

The CentOS Artwork Repository layout is firmly grounded on a

749e81
Subversion base.  Subversion (http://subversion.tigris.org) is a
749e81
version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files
749e81
and directories (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and
749e81
why changes occurred, etc., like CVS, RCS or SCCS.  Subversion keeps a
749e81
single copy of the master sources.  This copy  is called the source
749e81
"repository"; it contains all the information to permit extracting
749e81
previous versions of those files at any time.
749e81

3.41.2.2 Repository name convenctions

749e81
749e81

Repository name convenctions help us to maintain consistency of names

749e81
inside the repository.
749e81

749e81

Repository name convenctions are applied to files and directories

749e81
inside the repository layout. As convenction, inside the repository
749e81
layout, file names are all written in lowercase
749e81
(<samp>`01-welcome.png'</samp>, <samp>`splash.png'</samp>, <samp>`anaconda_header.png'</samp>,
749e81
etc.) and directory names are all written capitalized (e.g.,
749e81
<samp>`Identity'</samp>, <samp>`Themes'</samp>, <samp>`Motifs'</samp>, <samp>`TreeFlower'</samp>,
749e81
etc.).
749e81

749e81

Repository name convenctions are implemented inside the

749e81
cli_getRepoName function of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script. With
749e81
cli_getRepoName function we reduce the amount of commands and
749e81
convenctions you need to remember concentrating them in just one
749e81
single place you can look for fixes and improvements.
749e81

749e81
749e81
749e81

3.41.2.3 Repository work flow

749e81
749e81

Repository work flow describes the steps and time intervals used to

749e81
produce CentOS corporate visual identity inside CentOS Artwork
749e81
Repository.  
749e81

749e81

To illustrate repository work flow let's consider themes' development

749e81
cycle. 
749e81

749e81

Initially, we start working themes on their trunk development line

749e81
(e.g., <tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/'</tt>), here we
749e81
design background images and propagate them to different visual
749e81
manifestations using one theme's model as reference.
749e81

749e81

Later, when the theme is considered "ready" for implementation (i.e.

749e81
all visual manifestations have been already set), we create a branch
749e81
for it (e.g., <tt>`branches/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/1/'</tt>).
749e81
Once the branch has been created, we forget that branch and continue
749e81
working the trunk development line while others (e.g., an artwork
749e81
quality assurance team) test the new branch for tunning it up. 
749e81

749e81

Once the branch has been tunned up, and considered "ready" for

749e81
release, it is freezed under <tt>`tags/'</tt> directory (e.g.,
749e81
<tt>`tags/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFower/1.0/'</tt>) for packagers,
749e81
webmasters, promoters, and anyone who needs images from that CentOS
749e81
theme the tag was created for.
749e81

749e81

Both branches and tags, inside CentOS Artwork Repository, use

749e81
numerical values to identify themselves under the same location.
749e81
Branches start at one (i.e., <samp>`1'</samp>) and increment one unit for each
749e81
branch created from the same trunk development line.  Tags start at
749e81
zero (i.e., <samp>`0'</samp>) and increment one unit for each tag created from
749e81
the same branch development line.
749e81

749e81
749e81

trunk/Identity/Models/Img/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Path/figure-1

749e81
749e81

Figure 3.11: Name convention for tags and branches creation.

749e81
749e81

749e81

As proposition, it would be convenient not to freeze trunk development

749e81
lines using tags or anything else.  If you think you need to freeze a
749e81
trunk development line, create a branch for it and then freeze that
749e81
branch instead.  
749e81

749e81

The trunk development line may introduce problems we cannot see

749e81
immediatly. Certainly, the high changable nature of trunk development
749e81
line complicates finding and fixing such problems. On the other hand,
749e81
the branched development lines provides a less changable area where
749e81
only small fixes/corrections are commited up to repository. 
749e81

749e81

If others find and fix bugs inside the branched development line, we

749e81
could merge such changes/experiences back to trunk development line
749e81
(not visversa) in order for future branches, created from trunk, to
749e81
benefit.
749e81

749e81

Time intervals used to create branches and tags may vary, just as

749e81
different needs may arrive. For example, consider the release schema
749e81
of CentOS distribution: one major release every 2 years, security
749e81
updates every 6 months, support for 7 years long. Each time a CentOS
749e81
distribution is released, specially if it is a major release, there is
749e81
a theme need in order to cover CentOS distribution artwork
749e81
requirements. At this point, is where CentOS Artwork Repository comes
749e81
up to scene. 
749e81

749e81

Before releasing a new major release of CentOS distribution you can

749e81
create a branch for one of several theme development lines available
749e81
inside the CentOS Artwork Repository, perform quality assurance on it,
749e81
and later, freeze that branch using tags. Once a the theme branch has
749e81
been frozen (under <tt>`tags/'</tt> directory), CentOS Packagers (the
749e81
persons who build CentOS distribution) can use that frozen branch as
749e81
source location to fulfill CentOS distribution artwork needs.
749e81

749e81
749e81
749e81

3.41.2.4 Parallel directories

749e81
749e81

Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, parallel directories are simple

749e81
directory entries built from a common parent directory and placed in a
749e81
location different to that, the common parent directory is placed on.
749e81
Parallel directories are useful to create branches, tags,
749e81
translations, documentation, pre-rendering configuration script, and
749e81
similar directory structures.
749e81

749e81

Parallel directories take their structure from one unique parent

749e81
directory. Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, this unique parent
749e81
directory is under <tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> location.  The
749e81
<tt>`trunk/Identity'</tt> location must be considered the reference for
749e81
whatever information you plan to create inside the repository.
749e81

749e81

In some circumstances, parallel directories may be created removing

749e81
uncommon information from their paths. Uncommon path information
749e81
refers to those directory levels in the path which are not common for
749e81
other parallel directories.  For example, when rendering
749e81
<tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro'</tt> directory
749e81
structure, the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script removes the
749e81
<tt>`Motifs/TreeFlower/'</tt> directory levels from path, in order to
749e81
build the parallel directory used to retrived translations, and
749e81
pre-rendering configuration scripts required by render
749e81
functionality.
749e81

749e81

Another example where parallel directory removes the uncommon path

749e81
information is when we use the help functionality. This time,
749e81
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script uses parallel directory information
749e81
(without uncommon directory levels) to build the documentation entry
749e81
required by Texinfo to store documentation entries inside the
749e81
repository.

749e81

Figure 3.12: Parallel directories removing uncommon information.

749e81
749e81

749e81

Othertimes, parallel directories may add uncommon information to their

749e81
paths. This is the case we use to create branches and tags. When we
749e81
create branches and tags, a numerical identifier is added to parallel
749e81
directory structure path. The place where the numerical identifier is
749e81
set on is relevant to corporate visual identity structure and should
749e81
be carefully considered where it will be.

749e81
749e81

749e81

When one parent directory changes, all their related parallel

749e81
directories need to be changed too. This is required in order for
749e81
parallel directories to match the new parent directory structure.  In
749e81
the other hand, parallel directories should never be modified by no
749e81
reason but to satisfy their parent directory structure. Liberal change
749e81
of parallel directories may suppress the conceptual idea they were
749e81
initially created for.

3.41.2.5 Syncronizing path information

749e81
749e81

Creating parallel directories is very useful to keep repository

749e81
organized. But, what would happen to functionalities like help
749e81
(WARNING: The <samp>`trunk Scripts Bash Functions Help'</samp> documentation entry no longer exists.) that rely on parent
749e81
directory structures to create documentation entries (using parallel
749e81
directory structures) if one of those parent directory structures
749e81
suddenly changes after the documentation entry has been already
749e81
created for it? 
749e81

749e81

Well, at this point, functionalities like help may confuse

749e81
themselves if path information is not updated.  Such functionalities
749e81
work with parent directory structure as reference; if a parent
749e81
directory changes, the functionalities dont't even note it because
749e81
they work with the last parent directory structure available in the
749e81
repository, no matter what it is. 
749e81

749e81

In the specific case of documentation (the help functionality),

749e81
the problem mentioned above provokes that older parent directories,
749e81
already documented, remain inside documentation directory structures
749e81
as long as you get your hands into the documentation directory
749e81
structure (<tt>`trunk/Manuals'</tt>) and remove what must be removed to
749e81
match the new parent directory structure.
749e81

749e81

There is no way for help, and similar functionalities that use

749e81
parent directories as reference, to know when and how directory
749e81
movements take place inside the repository. Such information is
749e81
available only when movement actions, like thoses achived by
749e81
rm or mv commands, take place inside the
749e81
repository. So, is there, at the moment of moving files, when we need
749e81
to syncronize parallel directories with their unique parent directory
749e81
structure.
749e81

749e81

Syncronizing parallel directories with their respecitive parent

749e81
directory implies moving files inside the repository, i.e. we need to,
749e81
firstly, rebuild the path information for each parallel directory
749e81
inside the repository, using the current path of its parent directory
749e81
as reference, and later, use the new path information to move each old
749e81
parallel directory from its old location to its new location based on
749e81
an updated path information.
749e81

749e81

As CentOS Artwork Repository is built over a version control system,

749e81
file movements inside the repository are considered repository
749e81
changes. In order for these repository changes to be versioned, we
749e81
need to, firstly, add changes related files into version control
749e81
system, and later, use commands from the version control system to
749e81
move those files already versioned.  This configuration makes possible
749e81
for everyone to know about changes details inside the repository; and
749e81
if needed, revert or update them back to a previous revision.
749e81

749e81

Finally, once all file corrections have been already made, the

749e81
syncronization action takes care of updating path references inside
749e81
related files. Updating path references inside related files is
749e81
specially important for documentation files where documentation nodes
749e81
are built using repository path information as reference.
749e81

749e81
749e81
749e81

3.41.2.6 What is the right location to store it?

749e81
749e81

Occasionly, you may find that new corporate visual identity components

749e81
need to be added to the repository. If that is your case, the first
749e81
question you need to ask yourself, before start to create directories
749e81
blindly all over, is: What is the right location to store it?
749e81

749e81

The CentOS Community (http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp) is the

749e81
best place to find answers to your question, but going there with
749e81
hands empty is not good idea. It may give the impression you don't
749e81
really care about. Instead, consider the following suggestions to find
749e81
your own comprehension and so, make your propositions based on it.
749e81

749e81

When looking the correct place to store new files, to bear in mind the

749e81
corporate visual identity structure used inside the CentOS Artwork
749e81
Repository (see section trunk/Identity) would be probaly the best advice
749e81
we could offer to you, the rest is just matter of choosing appropriate
749e81
names.  To illustrate this desition process let's consider the
749e81
<tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/'</tt> directory as
749e81
example. It is the main development line of CentOS distribution visual
749e81
manifestation, using TreeFlower's artistic motif, inside themes of
749e81
CentOS corporate visual identity. 
749e81

749e81

When building parent directory structures, you may find that reaching

749e81
an acceptable location may take some time, and as it happens most of
749e81
time, when you find it, that may be not a definite solution. There are
749e81
many concepts that you need to play with, in order to find a result
749e81
that match the conceptual idea you try to implement in the new
749e81
directory location. To know which these concepts are, split the
749e81
location in words and read its documentation entry from less specific
749e81
to more specific.
749e81

749e81

For example, the

749e81
<tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/'</tt> location
749e81
evolved through several months of contant work and there is no certain
749e81
it won't change in the future, even it fixes quite well the concept we
749e81
are trying to implement.  The concepts used in
749e81
<tt>`trunk/Identity/Themes/Distro/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/'</tt> location
749e81
are described in the following commands, respectively:
749e81
