3.47.1 Goals

27dad7
27dad7

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

27dad7
script <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality.  The <samp>`verify'</samp>
27dad7
functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script helps you to verify the
27dad7
workstation configuration you are planning to use as host for your
27dad7
working copy of CentOS Artwork Repository.
27dad7

27dad7
27dad7
27dad7

3.47.2 Description

27dad7
27dad7

The first time you download CentOS Artwork Repository you need to

27dad7
configure your workstation in order to use <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
27dad7
script.  These preliminar configurations are based mainly on auxiliar
27dad7
RPM packages installation, symbolic links creations, and environment
27dad7
variables definitions.  The <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality of
27dad7
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script guides you through this preliminar
27dad7
configuration process.  
27dad7

27dad7

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

27dad7
appropriate way to use its <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality is not using
27dad7
the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script directly, but the absolute path to
27dad7
centos-art.sh script instead (i.e.,
27dad7
<tt>`~/artwork/trunk/Scripts/Bash/centos-art.sh'</tt>).  This is necessary
27dad7
because <tt>`centos-art'</tt> symbolic link, under <tt>`~/bin/'</tt>
27dad7
directory, has not been created yet.
27dad7

3.47.2.1 Packages

4c79b5
27dad7

Installation of auxiliar RPM packages provides the software required

27dad7
to manipulate files inside the repository (e.g., image files,
27dad7
documentation files, translation files, script files, etc.). Most of
27dad7
RPM packages centos-art.sh script uses are shipped with
27dad7
CentOS distribution, and can be installed from CentOS base repository.
27dad7
The only exception is <samp>`inkscape'</samp>, the package we use to
27dad7
manipulate SVG files.  The <samp>`inkscape'</samp> package is not inside
27dad7
CentOS distribution so it needs to be installed from third party
27dad7
repositories.
27dad7

27dad7
info

Note

Configuration of third party repositories inside CentOS

27dad7
distribution is described in CentOS wiki, specifically in the
27dad7
following URL:
27dad7
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
27dad7

27dad7
27dad7

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

27dad7
sudo to request root privileges to execute yum's
27dad7
installation functionality.  If your user isn't defined as a
27dad7
privileged user--at least to run yum commands-- inside
27dad7
<tt>`/etc/sudoers'</tt> configuration file, you will not be able to
27dad7
perform package installation tasks as set in <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
27dad7
script <samp>`verify'</samp> functionality. 
27dad7

27dad7

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

27dad7
do by yourself. If you don't have experience with sudo
27dad7
command, please read its man page running the command: man
27dad7
sudo. This reading will be very useful, and with some practice, you
27dad7
will be able to configure your users to have sudo
27dad7
privileges.

3.47.2.2 Links

4c79b5
27dad7

Creation of symbolic links helps us to alternate between different

27dad7
implementations of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script-line (e.g.,
27dad7
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>, for Bash implementation; <tt>`centos-art.py'</tt>,
27dad7
for Python implementation; <tt>`centos-art.pl'</tt>, for Perl
27dad7
implementation; and so on for other implementations). The
27dad7
<tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script-line definition takes place inside your
27dad7
personal binary (<tt>`~/bin/'</tt>) directory in order to make the script
27dad7
implementation --the one that <tt>`centos-art'</tt> links to-- available
27dad7
to PATH environment variable.
27dad7

27dad7

Creation of symbolic links helps us to reuse components from repository

27dad7
working copy. For example, color information files maintained inside
27dad7
your working copy must never be duplicated inside program-specific
27dad7
configuration directories that uses them in your workstation (e.g.,
27dad7
Gimp, Inkscape, etc.).  Instead, a symbolic link must be created for
27dad7
each one of them, from program-specific configuration directories to
27dad7
files in the working copy.  In this configuration, when someone
27dad7
commits changes to color information files up to central repository,
27dad7
they--the changes committed-- will be immediatly available to your
27dad7
programs the next time you update your working copy --the place
27dad7
inside your workstation those color information files are stored--.
27dad7

27dad7

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

27dad7
script functionalities available outside <tt>`trunk/'</tt> repository
27dad7
directory structure, but at its same level in repository tree. This is
27dad7
useful if you need to use the "render" functionality of
27dad7
centos-art.sh under <tt>`branches/'</tt> repository directory
27dad7
structure as you usually do inside <tt>`trunk/'</tt> repository directory
27dad7
structure. As consequence of this configuration, automation scripts
27dad7
cannot be branched under <tt>`branches/Scripts'</tt> directory structure.

3.47.2.3 Environment variables

27dad7
27dad7

Definition of environemnt variables helps us to set default values to

27dad7
our user session life. The user session environment variable defintion
27dad7
takes place in the user's <tt>`~/.bash_profile'</tt> file.  The
27dad7
<samp>`verify'</samp> functionality of <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script doesn't
27dad7
modify your <tt>`~/.bash_profile'</tt> file.  
27dad7

27dad7

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

27dad7
evaluates the following environment variables:
27dad7

27dad7
27dad7
EDITOR
27dad7

Default text editor.

27dad7

27dad7

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

27dad7
pre-commit subversion messages, translation files, configuration
27dad7
files, script files, and similar text-based files.
27dad7

27dad7

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

27dad7
script uses <tt>`/usr/bin/vim'</tt> as default text editor. Otherwise, the
27dad7
following values are recognized by <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script:
27dad7

27dad7
    27dad7
  • <tt>`/usr/bin/vim'</tt>
  • 27dad7
  • <tt>`/usr/bin/emacs'</tt>
  • 27dad7
  • <tt>`/usr/bin/nano'</tt>
  • 27dad7
    27dad7
    27dad7

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

    27dad7
    <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> uses <tt>`/usr/bin/vim'</tt> text editor by default. 
    27dad7

    27dad7
    27dad7
    TEXTDOMAIN
    27dad7
    27dad7

    Default domain used to retrieve translated messages. This variable is

    27dad7
    set in <tt>`initFunctions.sh'</tt> and shouldn't be changed.
    27dad7

    27dad7
    27dad7
    TEXTDOMAINDIR
    27dad7
    27dad7

    Default directory used to retrieve translated messages. This variable

    27dad7
    is set in <tt>`initFunctions.sh'</tt> and shouldn't be changed.
    27dad7

    27dad7
    27dad7
    LANG
    27dad7
    27dad7

    Default locale information.

    27dad7

    27dad7

    This variable is initially set in the configuration process of CentOS

    27dad7
    distribution installer (i.e., Anaconda), specifically in the
    27dad7
    <samp>`Language'</samp> step; or once installed using the
    27dad7
    system-config-language tool.
    27dad7

    27dad7

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

    27dad7
    variable to know in which language the script messages are printed
    27dad7
    out.
    27dad7

    27dad7
    27dad7
    TZ
    27dad7
    27dad7

    Default time zone representation.

    27dad7

    27dad7

    This variable is initially set in the configuration process of CentOS

    27dad7
    distribution installer (i.e., Anaconda), specifically in the
    27dad7
    <samp>`Date and time'</samp> step; or once installed using the
    27dad7
    system-config-date tool.
    27dad7

    27dad7

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

    27dad7
    variable information at all. Instead, this variable is used by the
    27dad7
    system shell to show the time information according to your phisical
    27dad7
    location on planet Earth.  
    27dad7

    27dad7

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

    27dad7
    clock (which may need correction), and later in the configuration
    27dad7
    process of CentOS distribution installer (or later, by any of the
    27dad7
    related configuration tools inside CentOS distribution).  Generally,
    27dad7
    setting time information is a straight-forward task and configuration
    27dad7
    tools available do cover most relevant location. However, if you need
    27dad7
    a time precision not provided by the configuration tools available
    27dad7
    inside CentOS distribution then, using TZ variable may be
    27dad7
    necessary.
    27dad7

    27dad7
    Convenction

    Convenction

    In order to keep changes syncronized between

    27dad7
    central repository and its working copies: configure both repository
    27dad7
    server and workstations (i.e., the place where each working copy is
    27dad7
    set on) to use Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as base time
    27dad7
    representation.  Later, correct the time information for your specific
    27dad7
    location using time zone correction.
    27dad7

    6414c4
    27dad7

    The format of TZ environment variable is described in

    27dad7
    <tt>`tzset(3)'</tt> manual page.

    3.47.3 Usage

    6aec21
    27dad7
    27dad7
    centos-art verify --packages
    27dad7
    27dad7

    Verify required packages your workstation needs in order to run the

    27dad7
    <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script correctly.  If there are missing packages,
    27dad7
    the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script asks you to confirm their
    27dad7
    installation. When installing packages, the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
    27dad7
    script uses the yum application in order to achieve the
    27dad7
    task.
    27dad7

    27dad7

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

    27dad7
    already installed in your workstation, the message <samp>`The required
    27dad7
    packages are already installed.'</samp> is output for you to know. 
    27dad7

    27dad7
    27dad7
    centos-art verify --links
    27dad7
    27dad7

    Verify required links your workstation needs in order to run the

    27dad7
    centos-art command correctly.  If any required link is missing, the
    27dad7
    centos-art.sh script asks you to confirm their installation.
    27dad7
    To install required links, the centos-art.sh script uses the
    27dad7
    ln command.
    035049

    27dad7

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

    27dad7
    created in your workstation, the message <samp>`The required links are
    27dad7
    already installed.'</samp> is output for you to know. 
    27dad7

    27dad7

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

    27dad7
    the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script outputs the <samp>`Already exists as
    27dad7
    regular file.'</samp> message when listing required links that will be
    27dad7
    installed. Of course, as there is already a regular file where must be
    27dad7
    a link, no link is created. In such cases the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
    27dad7
    script will fall into a continue installation request for that missing
    27dad7
    link.  To end this continue request you can answer <samp>`No'</samp>, or
    27dad7
    remove the existent regular file to let <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script
    27dad7
    install the link on its place.
    27dad7

    27dad7
    27dad7
    centos-art verify --environment
    27dad7
    centos-art verify --environment --filter='regex'
    27dad7
    27dad7

    Output a brief description of environment variables used by

    27dad7
    <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt> script. 
    27dad7

    27dad7

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

    27dad7
    the <samp>`regex'</samp> regular expression value. If <samp>`--filter'</samp> option
    27dad7
    is specified but <samp>`regex'</samp> value is not, the <tt>`centos-art.sh'</tt>
    27dad7
    script outputs information as if <samp>`--filter'</samp> option had not been
    27dad7
    provided at all.
