3.45.1 Goals

e68a7a
e37211

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

e37211
script <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality.  The <samp>`verify'</samp>
e37211
functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script helps you to verify the
e37211
workstation configuration you are planning to use as host for your
e37211
working copy of CentOS Artwork Repository.

3.45.2 Description

60c152
e37211

The first time you download CentOS Artwork Repository you need to

e37211
configure your workstation in order to use <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
e37211
script.  These preliminar configurations are based mainly on auxiliar
e37211
RPM packages installation, symbolic links creations, and environment
e37211
variables definitions.  The <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality of
e37211
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script guides you through this preliminar
e37211
configuration process.  
e37211

e37211

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

e37211
appropriate way to use its <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality is not using
e37211
the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script directly, but the absolute path to
e37211
centos-art.sh script instead (i.e.,
e37211
<tt>`~/artwork/trunk/Scripts/Bash/centos-art.sh'</tt>).  This is necessary
e37211
because <tt>`centos-art'</tt> symbolic link, under <tt>`~/bin/'</tt>
e37211
directory, has not been created yet.

3.45.2.1 Packages

60c152
e37211

Installation of auxiliar RPM packages provides the software required

e37211
to manipulate files inside the repository (e.g., image files,
e37211
documentation files, translation files, script files, etc.). Most of
e37211
RPM packages centos-art.sh script uses are shipped with
e37211
CentOS distribution, and can be installed from CentOS base repository.
e37211
The only exception is <samp>`inkscape'</samp>, the package we use to
e37211
manipulate SVG files.  The <samp>`inkscape'</samp> package is not inside
e37211
CentOS distribution so it needs to be installed from third party
e37211
repositories.
54b5a5

e37211
info

Note

Configuration of third party repositories inside CentOS

e37211
distribution is described in CentOS wiki, specifically in the
e37211
following URL:
e37211
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
e37211

e37211
e37211

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

e37211
sudo to request root privileges to execute yum's
e37211
installation functionality.  If your user isn't defined as a
e37211
privileged user--at least to run yum commands-- inside
e37211
<tt>`/etc/sudoers'</tt> configuration file, you will not be able to
e37211
perform package installation tasks as set in <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
e37211
script <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality. 
54b5a5

e37211

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

e37211
do by yourself. If you don't have experience with sudo
e37211
command, please read its man page running the command: man
e37211
sudo. This reading will be very useful, and with some practice, you
e37211
will be able to configure your users to have sudo
e37211
privileges.

3.45.2.2 Links

e37211
e37211

Creation of symbolic links helps us to alternate between different

e37211
implementations of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script-line (e.g.,
e37211
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>, for Bash implementation; <tt>`centos-art.py'</tt>,
e37211
for Python implementation; <tt>`centos-art.pl'</tt>, for Perl
e37211
implementation; and so on for other implementations). The
e37211
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script-line definition takes place inside your
e37211
personal binary (<tt>`~/bin/'</tt>) directory in order to make the script
e37211
implementation --the one that <tt>`centos-art'</tt> links to-- available
e37211
to PATH environment variable.
54b5a5

e37211

Creation of symbolic links helps us to reuse components from repository

e37211
working copy. For example, color information files maintained inside
e37211
your working copy must never be duplicated inside program-specific
e37211
configuration directories that uses them in your workstation (e.g.,
e37211
Gimp, Inkscape, etc.).  Instead, a symbolic link must be created for
e37211
each one of them, from program-specific configuration directories to
e37211
files in the working copy.  In this configuration, when someone
e37211
commits changes to color information files up to central repository,
e37211
they--the changes committed-- will be immediatly available to your
e37211
programs the next time you update your working copy --the place
e37211
inside your workstation those color information files are stored--.
54b5a5

e37211

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

e37211
script functionalities available outside <tt>`trunk/'</tt> repository
e37211
directory structure, but at its same level in repository tree. This is
e37211
useful if you need to use the "render" functionality of
e37211
centos-art.sh under <tt>`branches/'</tt> repository directory
e37211
structure as you usually do inside <tt>`trunk/'</tt> repository directory
e37211
structure. As consequence of this configuration, automation scripts
e37211
cannot be branched under <tt>`branches/Scripts'</tt> directory structure.
54b5a5

e37211
e37211

3.45.2.3 Environment variables

e37211
e37211

Definition of environemnt variables helps us to set default values to

e37211
our user session life. The user session environment variable defintion
e37211
takes place in the user's <tt>`~/.bash_profile'</tt> file.  The
e37211
<samp>`verify'</samp> functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script doesn't
e37211
modify your <tt>`~/.bash_profile'</tt> file.  
54b5a5

e37211

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

e37211
evaluates the following environment variables:
54b5a5

e37211
e37211
EDITOR
e37211

Default text editor.

831389

e37211

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

e37211
pre-commit subversion messages, translation files, configuration
e37211
files, script files, and similar text-based files.
831389

e37211

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

e37211
script uses <tt>`/usr/bin/vim'</tt> as default text editor. Otherwise, the
e37211
following values are recognized by <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script:
831389

e37211
    e37211
  • <tt>`/usr/bin/vim'</tt>
  • e37211
  • <tt>`/usr/bin/emacs'</tt>
  • e37211
  • <tt>`/usr/bin/nano'</tt>
  • e37211
    e37211
    e37211

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

    e37211
    <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> uses <tt>`/usr/bin/vim'</tt> text editor by default. 
    273af8

    273af8
    e37211
    TZ
    e37211
    e37211

    Default time zone representation.

    273af8

    e37211

    Time representation inside repository server is set to Coordinated

    e37211
    Universal Time (UTC).  Time represetation inside repository working
    e37211
    copies is set as their administrators personally define.  
    273af8

    e37211

    When repository working copies time representation be defined, it

    e37211
    would be a very good convention to follow if working copies
    e37211
    administrators would set their systems clock to use UTC.  Otherwise it
    e37211
    would be difficult for working copies users to find out when changes
    e37211
    were committed up to repository server exactly in time.
    54b5a5

    e37211
    Info

    Tip

    Coordinated Univeral Time (UTC) representation can be

    e37211
    configured when you install CentOS distribution; or later, runing the
    e37211
    system-config-date command at a shell prompt from your
    e37211
    graphical interface.
    e37211

    e37211
    e37211
    info

    Note

    If you set your system clock to use UTC representation,

    e37211
    you also need to set the TZ environment variable inside
    e37211
    <tt>`~/.bash_profile'</tt> as follows:
    e37211

    export TZ=UTC
    e37211

    This is required in order for your terminal to display the correct

    e37211
    time information of your zone, taking UTC representation as reference.
    e37211

    e37211
    54b5a5
    e37211
    TEXTDOMAIN
    e37211
    e37211

    Default domain used to retrieve translated messages. This value is

    e37211
    set in <tt>`initFunctions.sh'</tt> and shouldn't be changed.
    54b5a5

    54b5a5
    e37211
    TEXTDOMAINDIR
    e37211
    e37211

    Default directory used to retrieve translated messages. This value is

    e37211
    set in <tt>`initFunctions.sh'</tt> and shouldn't be changed.
    54b5a5

    54b5a5
    e37211
    LANG
    e37211
    e37211

    Default locale information. This value is set when you start your

    e37211
    session and can be changed using the <samp>`locale'</samp> functionality of
    e37211
    <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script (see section trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Locale, for more information).

    3.45.3 Usage

    b0644c
    b0644c
    e37211
    <samp>`centos-art verify --packages'</samp>
    e37211

    Verify required packages your workstation needs in order to run the

    e37211
    <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script correctly.  If there are missing packages,
    e37211
    the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script asks you to confirm their
    e37211
    installation. When installing packages, the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
    e37211
    script uses the yum application in order to achieve the
    e37211
    task.
    e37211

    e37211

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

    e37211
    already installed in your workstation, the message <samp>`The required
    e37211
    packages are already installed.'</samp> is output for you to know. 
    273af8

    3d6160
    e37211
    <samp>`centos-art verify --links'</samp>
    e37211

    Verify required links your workstation needs in order to run the

    e37211
    centos-art command correctly.  If any required link is missing, the
    e37211
    centos-art.sh script asks you to confirm their installation.
    e37211
    To install required links, the centos-art.sh script uses the
    e37211
    ln command.
    b0644c

    e37211

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

    e37211
    created in your workstation, the message <samp>`The required links are
    e37211
    already installed.'</samp> is output for you to know. 
    b0644c

    e37211

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

    e37211
    the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script outputs the <samp>`Already exists as
    e37211
    regular file.'</samp> message when listing required links that will be
    e37211
    installed. Of course, as there is already a regular file where must be
    e37211
    a link, no link is created. In such cases the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
    e37211
    script will fall into a continue installation request for that missing
    e37211
    link.  To end this continue request you can answer <samp>`No'</samp>, or
    e37211
    remove the existent regular file to let <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script
    e37211
    install the link on its place.
    b0644c

    e37211
    e37211
    <samp>`centos-art verify --environment'</samp>
    e37211
    <samp>`centos-art verify --environment --filter='regex''</samp>
    e37211

    Output a brief description of environment variables used by

    e37211
    <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script. 
    e37211

    e37211

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

    e37211
    the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expression value. If <samp>`--filter'</samp> option
    e37211
    is specified but <samp>`regex'</samp> value is not, the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
    e37211
    script outputs information as if <samp>`--filter'</samp> option had not been
    e37211
    provided at all.
