Name

----

tcar-prepare - Prepare the repository workplace.

Synopsis

--------

*centos-art.sh prepare /path/to/your/workplace*

Description

-----------

When you install The CentOS Artwork Repository in your workstation, it

only provides the source files and documentation you need to produce

final content but no way to produce final content inside the location

it was installed. To produce final content using the source files

provided by The CentOS Artwork Repository you need to create a

directory in your workstation where you can store the files you

produce and the configuration files provided by the installed

repository.  This directory is known as the ``repository workplace''

and you should create it using the *prepare* module of *tcar* script.

The *prepare* module creates the workplace in the location you

specified as argument in the command-line. Inside the workplace, there

is one directory for each visual manifestation The CentOS Project is

made of. Each directory inside the workplace might exist to organize

other directories or storing final content. The directories storing

final content hold one configuration file describing how the final

content is produced inside of it. The configuration files inside the

workplace are symbolic links to configuration files inside The CentOS

Artwork Repository installed in your workstation.

The first time you create the workplace using the *prepare* module, it

doesn't include images required to brand other images (e.g., The

CentOS Symbol and The CentOS Type). This is something you need to do

in order for images requiring brand information to be rendered as they

are expected. Rendering images related to brands might consume some

time but it is something that needs to be done just once, unless

variations to brand information be introduced to The CentOS Artwork

Repository, in which case it would be required to render them again to

propagate the changes introduced to brand information the next time

images requiring them be rendered.
