- Copyright (C) 2009-2011 Alain Reguera Delgado - - Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document -under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 or -any later version published by the Free Software Foundation; with no -Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover Texts. A -copy of the license is included in the section entitled GNU Free -Documentation License. - -1 Introduction -************** - -Welcome to the _CentOS Artwork Repository Manual_. - - The CentOS Artwork Repository Manual contains information on how to -produce the CentOS Corporate Visual Identity in the working copies of -CentOS Artwork Repository (`https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork/'). -If you are looking for a comprehensive, task-oriented guide for -understanding how the CentOS Corporate Visual Identity is produced, -this is the manual for you. - - This manual discusses the following intermedite topics: - - * The CentOS Brand - - * The CentOS Corporate Visual Structure - - * The CentOS Corporate Visual Style - - This manual is organized in the same way the CentOS Artwork -Repository directory structure does. In the CentOS Artwork Repository -we use directories to store conceptual ideas of CentOS Corporate Visual -Identity. For this manual sake, each directory in the CentOS Artwork -Repository has its own documentation section to describe the related -conceptual ideas of it. - - This manual uses Texinfo as base documentation system. The Texinfo -documentation structure is controlled by the `centos-art' script which -is used to perform most common documentation tasks (e.g., edition, -deletion, renaming, updating nodes, menus and cross references) in a -standard way. - - This guide assumes you have a basic understanding of your CentOS -system. If you need help with CentOS, refer to the help page on the -CentOS Wiki (`http://wiki.centos.org/Help') for a list of different -places you can find help. - -1.1 Document Convenctions -========================= - -In this manual the word _we_, as personal pronoun, is used to repesent -_The CentOS Artwork SIG_, the group of persons building the CentOS -Artwork Repository. - - In this manual, certain words are represented in different fonts, -typefaces, sizes, and weights. This highlighting is systematic; -different words are represented in the same style to indicate their -inclusion in a specific category. The types of words that are -represented this way include the following: - -`command' - Linux commands (and other operating system commands, when used) are - represented this way. This style should indicate to you that you - can type the word or phrase on the command line and press Enter to - invoke a command. Sometimes a command contains words that would be - displayed in a different style on their own (such as file names). - In these cases, they are considered to be part of the command, so - the entire phrase is displayed as a command. For example: - - Use the `centos-art identity --render='path/to/dir'' command to - produce contents inside the `trunk/Identity' directory structure. - -`file name' - File names, directory names, paths, and RPM package names are - represented this way. This style indicates that a particular file - or directory exists with that name on your system. Examples: - - The `init.sh' file in `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Cli/' directory is the - initialization script, written in Bash, used to automate most of - tasks in the repository. - - The `centos-art' command uses the `ImageMagick' RPM package to - convert images from PNG format to other formats. - -<> - A key on the keyboard is shown in this style. For example: - - To use completion to list particular files in a directory, - type `ls', then a character, and finally the Tab key. Your - terminal displays the list of files in the working directory that - begin with that character. - -<> - A combination of keystrokes is represented in this way. For - example: - - The key combination exits your graphical - session and returns you to the graphical login screen or the - console. - -``computer output'' - Text in this style indicates text displayed to a shell prompt such - as error messages and responses to commands. For example: - - The `ls' command displays the contents of a directory. For example: - - - Config manual_renameEntry.sh - manual_copyEntry.sh manual_restoreCrossReferences.sh - manual_deleteCrossReferences.sh manual_searchIndex.sh - - The output returned in response to the command (in this case, the - contents of the directory) is shown in this style. - - Additionally, we use several different strategies to draw your -attention to certain pieces of information. In order of urgency, these -items are marked as a note, tip, important, caution, or warning. For -example: - - *Note* Remember that Linux is case sensitive. In other words, a - rose is not a ROSE is not a rOsE. - - *Tip* The directory `/usr/share/doc/' contains additional - documentation for packages installed on your system. - - *Important* If you modify the DHCP configuration file, the changes - do not take effect until you restart the DHCP daemon. - - *Caution* Do not perform routine tasks as root -- use a regular - user account unless you need to use the root account for system - administration tasks. - - *Warning* Be careful to remove only the necessary partitions. - Removing other partitions could result in data loss or a corrupted - system environment. - -1.2 Send in Your Feedback -========================= - -If you find an error in the _CentOS Artwork Repository Manual_, or if -you have thought of a way to make this manual better, we would like to -hear from you! Create a new ticket in The CentOS Artwork SIG web site -(`https://projects.centos.org/trac/artwork/'). - - If you have a suggestion for improving the documentation, try to be -as specific as possible. If you have found an error, include the section -number and some of the surrounding text so we can find it easily. - -2 Repository File System -************************ - -The CentOS Artwork Repsotiroy File System is the place where we -organize The CentOS Project Corporate Visual Identity. The CentOS -Artwork Repository uses directories to organize files and describe -conceptual idea about corporate identity. Such conceptual ideas are -explained in each directory related documentation entry. - - In this chapter you'll learn what each directory inside The CentOS -Artwork Repository is for and so, how you can make use of them. For -that purpose, the following list of directories is available for you to -explore: - -2.1 The `branches' Directory -============================ - -2.1.1 Goals ------------ - -This directory implements the Subversion's branches concept in a trunk, -branches, tags repository structure. - -2.1.2 Description ------------------ - -The `branches/' directory structre provides the intermediate space for -creating several instances of `trunk/' directory structure for parallel -development and later merging changes back to `trunk/' in the same -parallel basis. - -2.1.3 Usage ------------ - -The `branches/' directory structure is unused, so far. - -2.1.4 See also --------------- - - * *Note Filesystem tags::. - - * *Note Filesystem trunk::. - - * Subversion's book (`http://svnbook.red-bean.com/'). - -2.2 The `tags' Directory -======================== - -2.2.1 Goals ------------ - -This directory implements the Subversion's tags concept in a trunk, -branches, tags repository structure. - -2.2.2 Description ------------------ - -The `tags/' directory structre provides frozen branches. Generally, we -use frozen branches to make check-points in time for development lines -under `branches/' or `trunk/' directory structure. - -2.2.3 Usage ------------ - -The `tags/' directory structure is unused, so far. - -2.2.4 See also --------------- - - * *Note Filesystem branches::. - - * *Note Filesystem trunk::. - - * Subversion's book (`http://svnbook.red-bean.com/'). - -2.3 The `trunk' Directory -========================= - -2.3.1 Goals ------------ - -This directory implements the Subversion's trunk concept in a trunk, -branches, tags repository structure. - -2.3.2 Description ------------------ - -The `trunk/' directory structure is the main development line inside -the CentOS Artwork Repository and organizes the following sections: - -*Identity* - This section organizes image production in different formats and - some non-image formats like XHTML and text files, as well. This is - the perfect place to consolidate _The CentOS Artwork SIG_. If you - are interested in producing art works for The CentOS Project, this - place is for you. - - *Note Filesystem trunk Identity::, for more information. - -*Manual* - This section organizes the _CentOS Artwork Repository Manual_ - (i.e., the documentation manual you're reading right now). If you - are interested on improving The CentOS Artwork Repository Manual, - in this place you'll find the Texinfo documentation structure you - need to work with. - - *Note Filesystem trunk Manual::, for more information. - -*Scripts* - This section organizes production of automation scripts specially - designed to automate most frequent tasks in the repository (e.g., - image rendition, documenting directory structures, translating - content, etc.). If you can't resist the idea of automating - repeatable tasks, then take a look here. - - *Note Filesystem trunk Scripts::, for more information. - -*Locales* - This section organizes production of translation messages for - _Identity_, _Documentation_ and _Scripts_. This place is perfect - to consolidate _The CentOS Translation SIG_. If you love - translating, you'll find lot of messages waiting for you to - translate here. - - *Note Filesystem trunk Locales::, for more information. - -2.3.3 Usage ------------ - -It seems to be no other use for this directory but to organize the -sections described above. - -2.3.4 See also --------------- - - * *Note Filesystem branches::. - - * *Note Filesystem tags::. - - * Subversion's book (`http://svnbook.red-bean.com/'). - -2.4 The `trunk/Identity' Directory -================================== - -2.4.1 Goals ------------ - -The `trunk/Identity' directory structure implements _The CentOS Project -Corporate Identity_. - -2.4.2 Description ------------------ - -The CentOS Project corporate identity is the "persona" of the -organization known as The CentOS Project. The CentOS Project corporate -identity plays a significant role in the way the CentOS Project, as -organization, presents itself to both internal and external -stakeholders. In general terms, the CentOS Project corporate visual -identity expresses the values and ambitions of the CentOS Project -organization, its business, and its characteristics. - - The CentOS Project corporate identity provides visibility, -recognizability, reputation, structure and identification to The CentOS -Project organization by means of _Corporate Design_, _Corporate -Communication_, and _Corporate Behaviour_. - -2.4.2.1 Corporate Design -........................ - -The CentOS Project corporate design is applied to every single visual -manifestations The CentOS Project as organization wants to express its -existence. Examples of the most relevant visual manifestations inside -The CentOS Project are _The CentOS Distribution_, _The CentOS Web_ and -_The CentOS Stationery_. - - The CentOS Project corporate design is organized in the following -work-lines: - -*The CentOS Brand* - The CentOS Brand is the name or trademark that connects the - producer with their products. In this case, the producer is The - CentOS Project and the products are The CentOS Project visual - manifestations. - - *Note Filesystem trunk Identity Brands::, for more information. - -*The CentOS Colors* - The CentOS Fonts provides the color information used along The - CentOS Project visual manifestations. - - *Note Filesystem trunk Identity Colors::, for more information. - -*The CentOS Fonts* - The CentOS Fonts provides the typography information used along The - CentOS Project visual manifestations. - - *Note Filesystem trunk Identity Fonts::, for more information. - -*The CentOS Themes* - The CentOS Themes provides structural information and visual style - information, as well, used along The CentOS Project visual - manifestations. - - *Note Filesystem trunk Identity Themes::, for more information. - -2.4.2.2 Corporate Communication -............................... - -The CentOS Project corporate communication is based on community -communication. In that sake, the following media are available for -corporate communication: - - * The CentOS Mailing Lists (`http://lists.centos.org/'). - - * The CentOS Forums (`http://forums.centos.org/'). - -2.4.2.3 Corporate Behaviour -........................... - -The CentOS Project corporate behaviour is based on community behaviour. - -2.4.2.4 Corporate Structure -........................... - -The CentOS Project corporate structure is based on a _monolithic_ -corporate visual identity structure. In this structure, we use one -unique name (The CentOS Brand) and one unique visual style (The CentOS -Theme) in all The CentOS Project visual manifestations. - - Inside a monolithic corporate visual identity structure, internal and -external stakeholders use to feel a strong sensation of uniformity, -orientation, and identification with the organization. No matter if you -are visiting web sites, using the distribution, or acting on social -events, the one unique name and one unique visual style connects them -all to say: _Hey! we are all part of The CentOS Project_. - - Other corporate structures have been considered as well, but they -introduce visual contradictions we need to be aware of. In that sake, -lets describe the idea of: _Producing one different visual style for -each major release of The CentOS Distribution_. - - The CentOS Project maintains near to four different major releases of -The CentOS Distribution parallely in time and that fact makes one part -of The CentOS Project structural design, but just one part, not the -complete structural design. In order to produce the correct corporate -structure for The CentOS Project we need to concider all the visual -manifestations The CentOS Project is made of, not just one of them. - - If one different visual style is used for each major release of The -CentOS Distribution, which one of those different visual styles would -be used to cover the remaining visual manifestations The CentOS Project -is made of. Would we end up with four different visual styles, one for -each distribution? In that case, why The CentOS Distribution we use -shows one visual style, The CentOS Web sites another and The CentOS -Stationery even another completly different one? Isn't them all part -of the same project? - - Probably you be thinking, that's right, but The CentOS Brand connects -them all already, why would we need to join them up into the same -visual style too, isn't it more work to do, and harder to maintain? - - Harder to maintain, more work to do, it is probably. Specially when -you consider that The CentOS Project has proven stability and -consistency through time and that, certainly, didn't come through -swinging magical wangs or something but hardly working out to automate -tasks and so providing maintainance through time. Said that, we -consider that The CentOS Project visual structure should be consequent -with such stability and consistency tradition. It is true The CentOS -Brand does connect all the visual manifestations it is present on, but -that connection would be stronger if one unique visual style backups -it. In fact, whatever thing you do to strength the visual connection -among The CentOS Project visual manifestations would be very good in -favor of The CentOS Project recognition. - - Obviously, having just one visual style in all visual manifestations -for eternity would be a very boring thing and would give the idea of a -visually dead project. So, there is no problem on creating a brand new -visual style for each new major release of The CentOS Distribution, in -order to refresh The CentOS Distribution visual style; the problem does -is in not propagating the brand new visual style created for the new -release of CentOS Distribution to all other visual manifestations The -CentOS Project is made of, in a way The CentOS Project could be -recognized no matter what visual manifestation be in front of us. Such -lack of uniformity is what introduces the visual contradition we are -precisely trying to solve by mean of themes production in the CentOS -Artwork Repository. - -2.4.3 Usage ------------ - -The `trunk/' directory structure is organized in _renderable_ and -_non-renderable_ directories. Generally, renderable directories contain -two non-renderable directories inside, one to store design templates -(the `Tpl/' directory), and other to store the content produced (the -`Img/' directory). - - In order to produce content inside rendereble directories, you can -use the following command: - - -centos-art identity --render='trunk/Identity/Path/To/Dir' - - *Warning* If the `centos-art' command-line is not found in your - workstation, it is probably because you haven't prepared it for - using The CentOS Artwork Repository yet. *Note Filesystem trunk - Scripts Bash Cli Functions Verify::, for more information. - - This command takes one design template from the template directory -and creates an instance of it in order to apply translation messages on -it, if any. Later, using the design template instance, the command -renders the final content based on whether the design template instance -is a SVG file or a Docbook file. If the design template instace is a -SVG file, the final content produced is a PNG image. On the other hand, -if the design template instance is a Docbook file, the final content -produced is a XHTML file. Final content is stored in the image -directory using the design template directory paths as referece. The -rendition flow described so far is known as the _base-rendition_ flow. - - Besides the base-rendition flow, the `centos-art' provides the -_post-rendition_ and _last-rendition_ flows. The post-rendition flow -is applied to files produced as result of base-rendition flow under the -same directory structure. For example, you can use post-rendition -action to convert the PNG base output into different outputs (e.g., -JPG, PDF, etc.) before passing to process the next file in the same -directory structure. The last-rendition flow is applied to all files -produced as result of both base-rendition and post-rendition flows in -the same directory structure, just before passing to process a -different directory structure. For example, the `Preview.png' image -from Ksplash component is made of three images. In order to build the -`Preview.png' image through `centos-art' we need to wait for all the -three images the `Preview.png' image is made of to be rendered, so we -can combine them all together into just one image (i.e., the -`Preview.png' image). This is something we can't do using -post-rendition flow. - - Inside `trunk/Identity' directory structure, you can find that -base-rendition, post-rendition and last-rendition flows can be combined -to build _directory-specific_ rendition. The directory-specific -rendition exists to automatically process specific renderable -directories in very specific ways. Using directory-specific rendition -speeds up production of different components like Syslinux, Grub, Gdm, -Kdm and Ksplash that require intermediate formats or even several -independent files, in order to reach its final construction. -Directory-specific rendition is a way to programmatically describe how -specific art works are built in and organized inside The CentOS Artwork -Repository. Such descriptions have been added to `centos-art' -command-line to let you produce them all with just one single command, -as fast as your machine can be able to handle it. - - *Note Filesystem trunk Scripts Bash Cli Functions Identity::, for -more information about the `identity' functionality of `centos-art' -command-line interface. - -2.4.4 See also --------------- - -See `http://en.wikipedia.org/Corporate_identity' (and related links), -for general information on corporate identity. - - Specially useful has been, and still be, the book _Corporate -Identity_ by Wally Olins (1989). This book provides many conceptual -ideas we've used as base to build The CentOS Artwork Repository. - -2.5 The `trunk/Identity/Brands' Directory -========================================= - -2.5.1 Goals ------------ - - * ... - -2.5.2 Description ------------------ - -2.5.3 Usage ------------ - -2.5.4 See also --------------- - -2.6 The `trunk/Identity/Colors' Directory -========================================= - -2.6.1 Goals ------------ - - * ... - -2.6.2 Description ------------------ - - * ... - -2.6.3 Usage ------------ - - * ... - -2.6.4 See also --------------- - -2.7 The `trunk/Identity/Fonts' Directory -======================================== - -2.7.1 Goals ------------ - -This section exists to organize digital typographies used by the CentOS -project. - -2.7.2 Description ------------------ - -2.7.3 Usage ------------ - -The CentOS corporate identity is attached to `DejaVu LGC' font-family. -Whatever artwork you design for CentOS project, that requires -typography usage, must be done using `DejaVu LGC' font-family. - -*Recommendation-1:* - For screen desings (e.g., anything that final destination will - never be printed on paper or any medium outside computer screens) - use `DejaVu LGC Sans' font-family. - -*Recommendation-2:* - For non-screen designs (e.g., anything that final desition will be - printed on paper or any other medium outside computer screens) use - `DejaVu LGC Serif' font-family. As convenction files described in - this rule are stored under `Stationery' directories. - - The only execption for the two recommendations above is the -typography used inside CentOS logo. The CentOS logo is the main visual -representation of the CentOS project so the typography used in it must -be the same always, no matter where it be shown. It also has to be -clear enough to dismiss any confussion between similar typefaces (e.g., -the number one (1) sometimes is confuesed with the letter `el' (l) or -letter `ai' (i)). - - As CentOS logo typography convenction, the word `CentOS' uses -`Denmark' typography as base, both for the word `CentOS' and the phrase -`Community Enterprise Operating System'. The phrase size of CentOS logo -is half the size in poits the word `CentOS' has and it below `CentOS' -word and aligned with it on the left. The distance between `CentOS' -word and phrase `Community Enterprise Operating System' have the size -in points the phrase has. - - When the CentOS release brand is built, use `Denmark' typography for -the release number. The release number size is two times larger (in -height) than default `CentOS' word. The separation between release -number and `CentOS' word is twice the size in points of separation -between `CentOS' word and phrase `Community Enterprise Operating -System'. - - Another component inside CentOS logo is the trademark symbol (TM). -This symbol specifies that the CentOS logo must be consider a product -brand, even it is not a registered one. The trademark symbol uses -DejaVu LGC Sans Regular typography. The trademark symbol is aligned -right-top on the outter side of `CentOS' word. The trademark symbol -must not exceed haf the distance, in points, between `CentOS' word and -the release number on its right. - - It would be very convenient for the CentOS Project and its community -to to make a registered trademark (®) of CentOS logo. To make a -register trademark of CentOS Logo prevents legal complications in the -market place of brands. It grants the consistency, through time, of -CentOS project corporate visual identity. - - *Note* The information about trademarks and corporate identity is - my personal interpretation of - `http://en.wikipedia.org/Corporate_identity' and - `http://en.wikipedia.org/Trademark' description.

The CentOS web environment is formed -by a central web application --to cover base needs (e.g., per-major -release information like release notes, lifetime, downloads, -documentation, support, security advisories, bugs, etc.)-- and many -different free web applications --to cover specific needs (e.g., wiki, -mailing lists, etc.)--. - - The CentOS web environment is addressed to solve the following -issues: - - * One unique name and one unique visual style to all web - applications used inside the web environment. - - * One-step navigation to web applications inside the environment. - - * High degree of customization to change the visual style of all web - applications with few changes (e.g, updating just two or three - images plus common style sheet [CSS] definitions). - - The CentOS project is attached to a monolithic corporate visual -identity (*note Filesystem trunk Identity::), where all visual -manifestations have one unique name and one unique visual style. This -way, the CentOS web environment has one unique name (the CentOS brand) -and one unique visual style (the CentOS default theme) for all its -visual manifestations, the web applications in this case. - - Since a maintainance point of view, achiving the one unique visual -style inside CentOS web environment is not a simple task. The CentOS -web environment is built upon many different web applications which -have different visual styles and different internal ways to customize -their own visual styles. For example: MoinMoin, the web application -used to support the CentOS wiki (`http://wiki.centos.org/') is highly -customizable but Mailman (in its 2.x.x serie), the web application used -to support the CentOS mailing list, doesn't support(1) a customization -system that separates presentation from logic, similar to that used by -MoinMoin. - - This visual style diversity complicates our goal of one unique visual -style for all web applications. So, if we want one unique visual style -for all web applications used, it is innevitable to modify the web -applications in order to implement the CentOS one unique visual style -customization in them. Direct modification of upstream applications is -not convenient because upstream applications come with their one visual -style and administrators take the risk of loosing all customization -changes the next time the application be updated (since not all -upstream web applications, used in CentOS web environment, separate -presentation from logic). - - To solve the "one unique visual style" issue, installation and -actualization of web applications --used inside CentOS web -environment-- need to be independent from upstream web applications -development line; in a way that CentOS web environment administrators -can install and update web applications freely without risk of loosing -the one unique visual style customization changes. - - At the surface of this issue we can see the need of one specific yum -repository to store CentOS web environment customized web applications. - -2.16.2.1 Design model (without ads) -................................... - -2.16.2.2 Design model (with ads) -................................ - -2.16.2.3 HTML definitions -......................... - -2.16.2.4 Controlling visual style -................................. - -Inside CentOS web environment, the visual style is controlled by the -following compenents: - -*Webenv header background* - - trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png - -*CSS definitions* - - trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Promo/Web/CSS/stylesheet.css - -2.16.2.5 Producing visual style -............................... - -The visual style of CentOS web environment is defined in the following -files: - - -trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Xcf/1024x250.xcf -trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png -trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250-bg.png -trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Tpl/1024x250.svg - - As graphic designer you use `1024x250.xcf' file to produce -`1024x250-bg.png' file. Later, inside `1024x250.svg' file, you use the -`1024x250-bg.png' file as background layer to draw your vectorial -design. When you consider you artwork ready, use the `centos-art.sh' -script, as described below, to produce the visual style controller -images of CentOS web environment. - - -centos-art render --entry=trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds --filter='1024x250' - - Once you have rendered required image files, changing the visual -style of CentOS web environment is a matter of replacing old image files -with new ones, inside webenv repository file system structure. The -visual style changes will take effect the next time customization line -of CentOS web applications be packaged, uploded, and installed from -[webenv] or [webenv-test] repositories. - -2.16.2.6 Navigation -................... - -Inside CentOS web environment, the one-step navegation between web -applications is addressed using the web environment navigation bar. -The web environment navigation bar contains links to main applications -and is always visible no matter where you are inside the web -environment. - -2.16.2.7 Development and release cycle -...................................... - -The CentOS web environment development and relase cycle is described -below: - -*Download* - The first action is download the source code of web applications we - want to use inside CentOS web environment. - - *Important* The source location from which web application are - downloaded is very important. Use SRPMs from CentOS *[base]* - and *[updates]* repositories as first choise, and third party - repositories (e.g. RPMForge, EPEL, etc.) as last resource. - -*Prepare* - Once web application source code has been downloaded, our duty is - organize its files inside `webenv' version controlled repository. - - When preparing the structure keep in mind that different web - applications have different visual styles, and also different ways - to implement it. A convenient way to organize the file system - structure would be create one development line for each web - application we use inside CentOS web environment. For example, - consider the following file system structure: - - - https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/ - |-- WebApp1/ - | |-- Sources/ - | | `-- webapp1-0.0.1/ - | |-- Rpms/ - | | `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm - | |-- Srpms/ - | | `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm - | `-- Specs/ - | `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec - |-- WebApp2/ - `-- WebAppN/ - -*Customize* - Once web applications have been organized inside the version - controlled repository file system, use subversion to create the - CentOS customization development line of web applications source - code. For example, using the above file system structure, you can - create the customization development line of `webapp1-0.0.1/' with - the following command: - - - svn cp trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1 trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1-webenv - - The command above creates the following structure: - - - https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/ - |-- WebApp1/ - | |-- Sources/ - | | |-- webapp1-0.0.1/ - | | `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv/ - | |-- Rpms/ - | | `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm - | |-- Srpms/ - | | `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm - | `-- Specs/ - | `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec - |-- WebApp2/ - `-- WebAppN/ - - In the above structure, the `webapp1-0.0.1-webenv/' directory is - the place where you customize the visual style of `webapp1-0.0.1/' - web application. - - *Tip* Use the `diff' command of Subversion between CentOS - customization and upstream development lines to know what you - are changing exactly. - -*Build packages* - When web application has been customized, build the web application - RPM and SRPM using the source location with `-webenv' prefix. - - - https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/ - |-- WebApp1/ - | |-- Sources/ - | | |-- webapp1-0.0.1/ - | | `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv/ - | |-- Rpms/ - | | |-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm - | | `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.rpm - | |-- Srpms/ - | | |-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm - | | `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.srpm - | `-- Specs/ - | |-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec - | `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.spec - |-- WebApp2/ - `-- WebAppN/ - -*Release for testing* - When the customized web application has been packaged, make - packages available for testing and quality assurance. This can be - achives using a [webenv-test] yum repository. - - *Note* The [webenv-test] repository is not shipped inside - CentOS distribution default yum configuraiton. In order to use - [webenv-test] repository you need to configure it first. - - If some problem is found to install/update/use the customized - version of web application, the problem is notified somewhere (a - bugtracker maybe) and the customization face is repated in order - to fix the problem. To release the new package add a number after - `-webenv' prefix. For example, if some problem is found in - `webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.rpm', when it be fixed the new package will - be named `webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'. If a problem is found in - `webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm', when it be fixed the new package - will be named `webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-2.rpm', and so on. - - The "customization -- release for testing" process is repeated - until CentOS quality assurance team considers the package is ready - for production. - -*Release for production* - When customized web application packages are considered ready for - production they are moved from [webenv-test] to [webenv] - repository. This action is commited by CentOS quality assurance - team. - - *Note* The [webenv] repository is not shipped inside CentOS - distribution default yum configuraiton. In order to use - [webenv] repository you need to configure it first. - -2.16.2.8 The [webenv-test] repository -..................................... - - -/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Webenv-test.repo - - -[webenv-test] -name=CentOS-$releasever - Webenv-test -mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=webenv-test -#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/webenv-test/$basearch/ -gpgcheck=1 -gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-$releasever -enabled=1 -priority=10 - -2.16.2.9 The [webenv] repository -................................ - - -/etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Webenv.repo - - -[webenv] -name=CentOS-$releasever - Webenv -mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=webenv -#baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/webenv/$basearch/ -gpgcheck=1 -gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-$releasever -enabled=1 -priority=10 - -2.16.2.10 Priority configuration -................................ - -Both [webenv] and [webenv-test] repositories update packages inside -CentOS [base] and CentOS [updates] repositories. - -2.16.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.16.4 See also ---------------- - ----------- Footnotes ---------- - - (1) The theme support of Mailman may be introduced in mailman-3.x.x -release. - -2.17 The `trunk/Identity/Models/Xcf' Directory -============================================== - -2.17.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.17.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.17.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.17.4 See also ---------------- - -2.18 The `trunk/Identity/Release' Directory -=========================================== - -2.18.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.18.2 Description ------------------- - -2.18.3 Usage ------------- - -2.18.4 See also ---------------- - -2.19 The `trunk/Identity/Themes' Directory -========================================== - -2.19.1 Goals ------------- - -The `trunk/Identity/Themes/' directory exists to organize production of -CentOS themes. - -2.19.2 Description ------------------- - -2.19.3 Usage ------------- - -In this location themes are organized in "Models" --to store common -information-- and "Motifs"--to store unique information.

Each major release of CentOS Distribution has -internal differences that make them unique and, at the same time, each -CentOS Distribution individually is tagged into the one unique visual -manifestation (i.e., Distribution). So, how could we implement the -monolithic visual structure in one visual manifestation that has -internal difference? - - To answer this question we broke the question in two parts and later -combined the resultant answers to build a possible solution. - -*How to remark the internal differences visually?* - Merge both The CentOS Project Release Schema into The CentOS - Project Trademark to build The CentOS Project Release Trademark. - The CentOS Project Release Trademark remarks two things: first, it - remarks the image is from The CentOS Project and second, it - remarks which major release of CentOS Distribution does the image - belongs to. *Note Filesystem trunk Identity Models Tpl Brands::, - for more information on how to develop and improve The CentOS - Project Brand. - -*How to remark the visual resemblance?* - Use a common artistic motifs as background for all CentOS - Distribution images. *Note Filesystem trunk Identity Themes - Motifs::, for more information. - -*So, combining answers above, we could conclude that:* - In order to implement the CentOS Monolithic Visual Structure on - CentOS Distribution visual manifestations, a CentOS Release - Trademark and a background information based on one unique - artistic motif should be used in all remarkable images The CentOS - Distribution visual manifestation is made of. - - *Important* Remarking the CentOS Release Schema inside each major - release of CentOS Distribution --or similar visual - manifestations-- takes _high attention_ inside The CentOS Project - corporate visual identity. It should be very clear for everyone - which major release of CentOS Distribution is being used. - -2.22.4 See also ---------------- - - * *Note Filesystem trunk Identity Themes:: - - * *Note Filesystem trunk Identity Themes Models:: - - * *Note Filesystem trunk Identity Themes Motifs:: - -2.23 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Concept' Directory -================================================================= - -2.23.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.23.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.23.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.23.4 See also ---------------- - -2.24 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Distro' Directory -================================================================ - -2.24.1 Goals ------------- - -This directory provides design models to produce image files for the -following CentOS Distribution components: - -*Syslinux* - Contains design models for syslinux, the program used to boot the - CentOS Distribution installation media. *Note Filesystem trunk - Identity Themes Models Default Distro Syslinux::, for more - information. - -*Anaconda* - Contains design models for Anaconda, the program used to install - CentOS Distribution. *Note Filesystem trunk Identity Themes - Models Default Distro Anaconda::, for more information. - -*Firstboot* - Contains design models for the first boot program used to configure - the maching onece installed. *Note Filesystem trunk Identity - Themes Models Default Distro Firstboot::, for more information. - -*Rhgb* - Contains design models for CentOS Graphical Boot, the program used - to show the boot process from Grub to Display Manager. *Note - Filesystem trunk Identity Themes Models Default Distro Rhgb::, for - more information. - -*Gdm* - Contains design models for GNOME Display Manager, the program used - to log into the manchine once installed and configured. *Note - Filesystem trunk Identity Themes Models Default Distro Gdm::, for - more information. - -*Kdm* - Contains design models for KDE Display Manager, the program used to - log into the manchine once installed and configured. *Note - Filesystem trunk Identity Themes Models Default Distro Kdm::, for - more information. - -*Grub* - Contains design models for GRUB (Grand Unified Boot Loader), the - program used to boot the machine into an operating system. *Note - Filesystem trunk Identity Themes Models Default Distro Kdm::, for - more information. - -*Gsplash* - Contains design models for GNOME splash, the program used to show - the progress information while user's graphical session is loading. - *Note Filesystem trunk Identity Themes Models Default Distro - Gsplash::, for more information. - -*Ksplash* - Contains design models for KDE splash, the program used to show the - progress information while user's graphical session is loading. - *Note Filesystem trunk Identity Themes Models Default Distro - Ksplash::, for more information. - -2.24.2 Description ------------------- - -The CentOS Distribution visual style is controlled by image files. -These image files are packaged inside The CentOS Distribution and made -visible once such packages are installed and executed.

Inside the -directory, you need to create one scalable vector graphic for each -image file inside the component you want to produce images for. This, -in order to set image dimensions, image file-name, position of -trademarks in the final image, translation markers and whatever common -information you need to have specified in them when rendered by -`centos-art' script. - - Sometimes, between major releases, image files inside packages can be -added, removed or just change their names. In order to describe such -image files variations, the design models directory structure is -organized in the same way the file variations are introduced (i.e., -through The CentOS Project Release Schema). So, each major release of -CentOS Distribution does have its own design model directory structure -in this directory. - - When a whole package is removed from one or all CentOS Distribution -major releases, the design models directory structure releated to it is -no longer used. However it could be very useful for historical -reasons. Also, someone could feel motivated enough to keep himself -documenting it or supporting it for whatever reason. - -2.24.4 See also ---------------- - -2.25 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Distro/Anaconda' Directory -========================================================================= - -2.25.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.25.2 Description ------------------- - -2.25.3 Usage ------------- - -2.25.4 See also ---------------- - -2.26 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Distro/Firstboot' Directory -========================================================================== - -2.26.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.26.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.26.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.26.4 See also ---------------- - -2.27 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Distro/Gdm' Directory -==================================================================== - -2.27.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.27.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.27.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.27.4 See also ---------------- - -2.28 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Distro/Grub' Directory -===================================================================== - -2.28.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.28.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.28.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.28.4 See also ---------------- - -2.29 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Distro/Gsplash' Directory -======================================================================== - -2.29.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.29.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.29.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.29.4 See also ---------------- - -2.30 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Distro/Kdm' Directory -==================================================================== - -2.30.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.30.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.30.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.30.4 See also ---------------- - -2.31 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Distro/Ksplash' Directory -======================================================================== - -2.31.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.31.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.31.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.31.4 See also ---------------- - -2.32 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Distro/Rhgb' Directory -===================================================================== - -2.32.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.32.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.32.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.32.4 See also ---------------- - -2.33 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Distro/Syslinux' Directory -========================================================================= - -2.33.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.33.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.33.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.33.4 See also ---------------- - -2.34 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Promo' Directory -=============================================================== - -2.34.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.34.2 Description ------------------- - -It applies to all tangible and non tangible items CentOS uses to -promote its existence.

Conceptual ideas bring -the motivation, they are fuel for the engines of human imagination. -Good conceptual ideas may produce good motivation to produce almost -anything, and art works don't escape from it. - -`TreeFlower' - CentOS like trees, has roots, trunk, branches, leaves and flowers. - Day by day they work together in freedom, ruled by the laws of - nature and open standards, to show the beauty of its existence. - -`Modern' - Modern, squares and circles flowing up. - - If you have new conceptual ideas for CentOS, then you can say that -you want to create a new artistic motif for CentOS. To create a new -artistic motif you need to create a directory under -`Identity/Themes/Motifs/' using a name coherent with your conceptual -idea. That name will be the name of your artistic motif. If possible, -when creating new conceptual ideas for CentOS, think about what CentOS -means for you, what does it makes you feel, take your time, think deep, -and share; you can improve the idea as time goes on. - - Once you have defined a name for your theme, you need to create the -motif structure of your theme. The motif structure is the basic -direcotry structure you'll use to work your ideas. Here is where you -organize your graphic design projects. - - To add a new motif structure to CentOS Artwork Repository, you need -to use the `centos-art' command line in the `Identity/Themes/Motifs/' -directory as described below: - - centos-art add --motif=ThemeName - - The previous command will create the basic structure of themes for -you. The basic structure produced by `centos-art' command is -illustrated in the following figure: - - trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$ThemeName/ - |-- Backgrounds - | |-- Img - | `-- Tpl - |-- Info - | |-- Img - | `-- Tpl - |-- Palettes - `-- Screenshots - -2.36.3 Usage ------------- - -When designing artistic motifs for CentOS, consider the following -recommendations: - - * Give a unique (case-sensitive) name to your Motif. This name is - used as value wherever theme variable ($THEME) or translation - marker (=THEME=) is. Optionally, you can add a description about - inspiration and concepts behind your work. - - * Use the location `trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/' to store - your work. If it doesn't exist create it. Note that this require - you to have previous commit access in CentOS Artwork Repository. - - * The CentOS Project is using the blue color (#204c8d) as base color - for its corporate visual identity. Use such base corporate color - information as much as possible in your artistic motif designs. - - * Try to make your design fit one of the theme models. - - * Feel free to make your art enterprise-level and beautiful. - - * Add the following information on your artwork (both in a visible - design area and document metadata): - - * The name (or logo) of your artistic motif. - - * The copyright sentence: Copyright (C) YEAR YOURNAME - - * The license under which the work is released.

This section may be useful for anyone interested in -reproducing the _Flame_ artistic motif, or in creating new artistic -motifs for The CentOS Project corporate visual identity (*note -Filesystem trunk Identity::). - -2.37.2 Description ------------------- - -The _Flame_ artistic motif was built using the flame filter of Gimp 2.2 -in CentOS 5.5. - - The flame filter of Gimp can produce stunning, randomly generated -fractal patterns. The flame filter of Gimp gives us a great oportunity -to reduce the time used to produce new artistic motifs, because of its -"randomly generated" nature. Once the artistic motif be created, it is -propagated through all visual manifestations of CentOS Project -corporate visual identity using the `centos-art.sh' script (*note -Filesystem trunk Scripts Bash::) inside the CentOS Artwork Repository. - - To set the time intervals between each new visual style production, -we could reuse the CentOS distribution major release schema. I.e., we -could produce a new visual style, every two years, based on a new -"randomly generated" flame pattern, and publish the whole corporate -visual identity (i.e., distribution stuff, promotion stuff, websites -stuff, etc.) with the new major release of CentOS distribution all -together at once. - - Producing a new visual style is not one day's task. Once we have -defined the artistic motif, we need to propagate it through all visual -manifestations of The CentOS Project corporate visual identity. When we -say that we could produce one new visual style every two years we -really mean: to work two years long in order to propagate a new visual -style to all visual manifestations of The CentOS Project corporate -visual identity. - - Obviously, in order to propagate one visual style to all different -visual manifestations of The CentOS Project corporate visual identity, -we need first to know which the visual manifestations are. To define -which visual manifestations are inside The CentOS Project corporate -visual identity is one of the goals the CentOS Artwork Repository and -this documentation manual are both aimed to satisfy. - - Once we define which the visual manifestation are, it is possible to -define how to produce them, and this way, organize the automation -process. Such automation process is one of the goals of `centos-art.sh' -script. - - With the combination of both CentOS Artwork Repository and -`centos-art.sh' scripts we define work lines where translators, -programmers, and graphic designers work together to distribute and -reduce the amount of time employed to produce The CentOS Project -monolithic corporate identity. - - From a monolithic corporate visual identity point of view, notice -that we are producing a new visual style for the same theme (i.e., -_Flame_). It would be another flame design but still a flame design. -This idea is very important to be aware of, because we are somehow -"refreshing" the theme, not changing it at all. - - This way, as we are "refreshing" the theme, we still keep oursleves -inside the monolithic conception we are trying to be attached to (i.e., -one unique name, and one unique visual style for all visual -manifestations). - - Producing artistic motifs is a creative process that may consume long -time, specially for people without experienced knowledge on graphic -design land. Using "randomly generated" conception to produce artistic -motifs could be, practically, a way for anyone to follow in order to -produce maintainable artistic motifs in few steps. - - Due to the "randomly generated" nature of Flame filter, we find that -_Flame_ pattern is not always the same when we use _Flame_ filter -interface. - - Using the same pattern design for each visual manifestation is -essential in order to maintain the visual connection among all visual -manifestations inside the same theme. Occasionally, we may introduce -pattern variations in opacity, size, or even position but never change -the pattern design itself, nor the color information used by images -considered part of the same theme. - - *Important* When we design background images, which are considered - part of the same theme, it is essential to use the same design - pattern always. This is what makes theme images to be visually - connected among themeselves, and so, the reason we use to define - the word "theme" as: a set of images visually connected among - themeselves. - - In order for us to reproduce the same flame pattern always, _Flame_ -filter interface provides the `Save' and `Open' options. The `Save' -option brings up a file save dialog that allows you to save the current -Flame settings for the plug-in, so that you can recreate them later. -The `Open' option brings up a file selector that allows you to open a -previously saved Flame settings file. - - The Flame settings we used in our example are saved in the file: - - -trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Flame/Backgrounds/Xcf/800x600.xcf-flame.def - -2.37.3 Construction -------------------- - -2.37.3.1 Step 1: Set image size -............................... - -Create an empty image and fill the `Background' layer with black -(`000000') color. Image dimensions depend on the final destination you -plan to use the image for. For the sake of our construction example we -used an image of 640x480 pixels and 300 pixels per inch (ppi). - -2.37.3.2 Step 2: Add base color and pattern information -....................................................... - -Create a new layer named `Base', place it over `Background' layer and -fill it with the base color (`7800ff') you want to have your background -image set in. Add a mask to `Base' layer using radial gradient and -blur it. You may need to repeat this step more than once in order to -achieve a confortable black radial degradation on the right side of -your design. - - Duplicate `Base' layer and name it `Paper'. Place `Paper' layer over -`Base' layer. Remove content of `Paper' layer and fill it with `Paper -(100x100)' pattern. Once you've done with black radial degradation, -reduce the `Paper' layer opacity to 20%. - - Notice that when we duplicate one layer, the mask information related -to layer is preserved from previous to next layer. This saves us some -of the time required to produce different layers with the same mask -information on them. - - Duplicate `Paper' layer and rename it `Stripes'. Remove paper -pattern from `Stripes' layer. Fill `Stripes' layer with `Stripes -(48x48)' pattern and reduce the `Stripes' layer opacity to 15%. - -2.37.3.3 Step 3: Add flame motif -................................ - -Create a new layer named `Flame'. Set the foreground (`003cff') and -background (`0084ff') colors to the gradient you want to build the -flame motif. - - To build flame motif, use the flame filter (`Filters > Render > -Nature > Flame...') on `Flame' layer. We used a layer mask, with a -radial gradient on it to control the boundaries of flame motif on -`Flame' layer. - - Duplicate `Flame' layer and rename it `Flame Blur'. Place `Flame -Blur' below `Flame' layer. Apply Gussian blur filter (`Filters > Blur > -Gussian Blur...') until reaching the desiered effect. - - The opacity value, in `Flame' layers, may vary from one image to -another based on the place the image will be finally placed on. For -example, images used as desktop background have the `Flame' layer -opacity set at 100% but `Flame Blur' is set to 70%. However, you may -find that background images used in anaconda progress slides have -opacity reduced differently, in order to reduce brightness in a way -that texts could look clean and readable over it. - -2.37.3.4 Step 4: Add foreground color -..................................... - -Create a new layer named `Color', place it on top of all visible layers -and fill it with plain color (`4c005a'). Reduce `Color' layer opacity -to 20%. You can use the `Color' layer to control the right side color -information you want to produce the image for. - - Duplicate `Flame' layer and create a new layer named `Color#1'. -Place `Color#1' layer on top of layer named `Color'. Remove the mask -information from `Color#1' layer and recreate a new one using an -inverted alpha channel as reference. Remove `Color#1' layer content -and fill it back with plain black (`000000') color. Reduce `Color#1' -opacity to 20%. In this step we created a mask to protect the flame -artistic motif from black color, so when we decrement or increment the -opacity of layer, the flame artistic motif wouldn't be affected, just -the environment suround it. - - When you set color information, remember that the same artistic motif -needs to be indexed to 14 and 16 colors, in order to produce Grub and -Syslinux visual manifestations respectively. Using many different -colors in the artistic motif may reduce the possibility of your design -to fix all different situations in. Likewise, using more colors in one -design, and less colors in another design will reduce the connectivity -among your designs, since color information is relevant to visual -identity. - - When you propagate your artistic motif visual style to different -visual manifestations of CentOS Project corporate visual identity, it -is up to you to find out justice and compromise among all possible -variables you may face. - -2.37.4 See also ---------------- - -2.38 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern' Directory -======================================================== - -2.38.1 Presentation -------------------- - -2.38.2 Construction -------------------- - -2.38.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.38.4 See also ---------------- - -2.39 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Backgrounds' Directory -==================================================================== - -2.39.1 Goals ------------- - - * Organize background images for Modern theme. - -2.39.2 Description ------------------- - -Inside `Motifs' directory, the `Backgrounds/' directory is used to -create vectorial designs using Inkscape and background images using -Gimp. Later, you can export background images as `.png' and load them -in your vectorial design project using the import feautre of Inkscape. - - You may need to repeat this technic for different screen resoluions. -In that case you need to create one file for each screen resolution and -do the appropriate linking inside .svg to .png files. For example if -you need to produce background images in 800x600 you need to create the -following file: - - xcf/800x600.xcf - - to produce the background image: - - img/800x600-bg.png - - which is loaded in: - - svg/800x600.svg - - to produce the final background image: - - img/800x600.png - - The `img/800x600.png' background image is produced automatically by -means of rendering scripts. - - In other cases (e.g. Anaconda), it is possible that you need to make -some variations to one background image that don't want to appear on -regular background images of the same resolution. In this case you need -to create a new and specific background image for that art component. -For example, if you need to produce the background image used by -Anconda (800x600) art works you create the file: - - xcf/800x600-anaconda.xcf - - to produce the background image: - - img/800x600-anaconda-bg.png - - which is loaded in: - - svg/800x600-anaconda.svg - - to produce the file: - - img/800x600-anaconda.png - - The 800x600-anaconda.png file is used by all Anaconda art works -sharing a common 800x600 screen resolution (e.g., Header, Progress, -Splash, Firstboot, etc.). The Anaconda Prompt is indexed to 16 colors -and 640x480 pixels so you need to create a 640x480 background image for -it, and take the color limitation into account when designing it. - - Background images without artistic motif are generally used as based -to build the Background images that do contain the theme artistic motif. - - Background images are linked (using the import feature of Inkscape) -inside almost all theme art works. This structure let you make -centralized changes on the visual identity and propagate them quickly -to other areas. - - In this structure you design background images for different screen -resolutions based on the theme artistic motif. - - You may create different artistic motifs propositions based on the -same conceptual idea. The conceptual idea is what defines a theme. -Artistic motifs are interpretations of that idea. - - Inside this directory artistic motifs are organized by name (e.g., -TreeFlower, Modern, etc.). - - Each artistic motif directory represents just one unique artistic -motif. - - The artistic motif is graphic design used as common pattern to -connect all visual manifestations inside one unique theme. The -artistic motif is based on a conceptual idea. Artistic motifs provide -visual style to themes. - - Designing artistic motifs is for anyone interested in creating -beautiful themes for CentOS. When building a theme for CentOS, the -first design you need to define is the artistic motif. - - Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, theme visual styles (Motifs) and -theme visual structures (Models) are two different working lines. When -you design an artistic motif for CentOS you concentrate on its visual -style, and eventualy, use the `centos-art' command line interface to -render the visual style, you are currently producing, against an -already-made theme model in order to produce the final result. Final -images are stored under `Motifs/' directory using the model name, and -the model directory structure as reference. - - The artistic motif base structure is used by `centos-art' to produce -images automatically. This section describes each directory of CentOS -artistic motif base structure. - -2.39.3 Usage ------------- - -The `Backgrounds/' directory is probably the core component, inside -`Motifs/' directory structure. Inside `Backgrounds/' directory you -produce background images used by almost all theme models (e.g., -Distribution, Websites, Promotion, etc.). The `Backgrounds/' directory -can contain subdirectories to help you organize the design process. - -2.39.4 See also ---------------- - -2.40 The `trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/Modern/Backgrounds/Img' Directory -======================================================================== - -2.40.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.40.2 Description ------------------- - -2.40.3 Usage ------------- - -In this directory is where you store all background images (e.g., .png, -.jpg, .xpm, etc.).

For example, the following layer -distribution (from bottom to top) was used to build revision 285 of -file `1360x768.xcf' using _TreeFlower_ artistic motif at revision 241. - -*Layer 1: Background* - The first thing we did with GIMP was to create a layer named - `Background' to store the artistic motif (File > Open as layer). - This layer is the lowest layer in the image. Later, we started to - create layers one upon another to change the artistic motif visual - style. - -*Layer 2: Shadow#1* - This layer is above `Background' and contains a linear gradient - from left (000000) to right (transparent) covering the whole image. - This layer masks the artistic motif to avoid the effect of linear - gradient. This layer is 100% of opacity. - -*Layer 3: Shadow#2* - This layer is above `Shadow#1' and contains a linear gradient from - left (000000) to right (transparent) covering just the 70% of the - whole image aproximatly. This layer doesn't mask the artistic motif - which make the left part of it fall into the dark of linear - gradient. This layer is 100% of opacity. - -*Layer 4: Pattern (Paper)* - This layer is above `Shadow#2' an contains the paper pattern - shipped with GIMP 2.2. This layer doesn't mask the artistic motif - so the pattern is applied over the whole image. This layer is set - to 15% of opacity. - -*Layer 5: Pattern (Stripes)* - This layer is above `Pattern (Paper)' and contains the stripes - used over the artistic motif. This layer do masks the artistic - motif so the stripes are only applied to it. This layer is set to - 10% of opacity. - -*Layer 6: Shadow#3* - This layer is above `Pattern (Stripes)' and contains a linear - gradient from right (6600ff) to left (transparent). This layer - masks the artistic motif so the linear gradient doesn't affect it. - This layer is set to 15% of opacity. - -*Layer 7: Shadow#4* - This layer is above `Shadow#3' and contains a linear gradient from - left (000000) to right (transparent). This layer do masks the - artistic motif so the linear gradient doesn't affect it. This - layer is set to 10% of opacity. - -*Layer 8: Color#1* - This layer is above `Shadow#4' and is filled with orange (ffae00) - color over the whole image. This layer is set to 10% of opacity. - -*Layer 9: Color#2* - This layer is above `Color#1' and is filled with blue (010a88) - color over the whole image. This layer is set to 10% of opacity. - - - *Note* There is no definite combination. To get the appropriate - visual design is a matter of constant testing and personal taste. - - Finally, use `Save as copy ...' option to export the final design. -To export the final design use the same name of your vectorial design -plus `-final.png' extension. - - You can repeat these steps to create images for other screen -resolutions. - -2.46.2.2 Anaconda Prompt (syslinux) background -.............................................. - -When building syslinux backgrounds it is needed to take into account -that the final image is reduced to 16 colors. In desktop background -there is no color limitation but syslinux does have. The goal of this -section is achieving a final syslinux background as close as possible -to desktop backgrounds using 16 colors only. - - Another point to consider is the forground and background definition -used by syslinux. The syslinux documentation says that the color set in -position 0 is the background and color set in position 7 is the -forground. The final palette of color used by our background will match -that specification. For great contrast we'll use black as background -and white as forground. At this poing we have black (000000) and white -(ffffff) colors in our syslinux palette, which left us with 14 colors -to play with. - - Let's begin with `Xcf/640x300.xcf' layer distribution from bottom to -top: - -*Layer 1: Background* - This layer is the lowest layer in the image composition and - contains the artistic motif image rendered for the same resolution - (i.e., `Img/Png/640x300.png'). This layer is set to 100% of - opacity. - -*Layer 2: Pattern (Paper)* - This layer is placed above `Background' layer and contains the - paper pattern shipped with GIMP 2.2. This layer doesn't mask the - artistic motif. This layer is set to 30% of opacity. - -*Layer 3: Pattern (Stripes)* - This layer is placed above `Pattern (Paper)' layer and contains - the stripes pattern shipped with GIMP 2.2. This layer does mask the - artistic motif in order to apply the stripes over it only. The - background is not affected by the stripes pattern just the artistic - motif. This layer is set to 20% of opacity. - -*Layer 4: Shadow#1* - This layer is placed above `Pattern (Stripes)' layer and fills the - entire layer area with violet (6600ff) color. This layer do mask - the artistic motif in order to applied the violet color to the - background area outside the artistic motif only. This layer is set - to 15% of opacity. - -*Layer 5: Color#1* - This layer is above `Shadow#1' and is filled with orange (ffae00) - color to cover the whole image. This layer is set to 10% of - opacity. - -*Layer 6: Color#2* - This layer is above `Color#1' and is filled with blue (010a88) - color to cover the whole image. This layer is set to 10% of - opacity. - -*Layer 7: Shadow#2* - This layer is above `Color#1' and contains a linear gradient from - left (000000) to right (transparent) covering 70% of the image - approximately. - - - At this point we have the composition and should look like the -desktop backgrounds. Compared with desktop backgrounds there are some -differences in opacity. This is because in our testings the final color -information found with this composition produces an acceptable 16 color -image. Of course this is something we haven't seen yet. - - To define the color information of our current coposition, save the -syslinux background composition we've done using `File > Save as Copy -...' option in the following location: - - -trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Backgrounds/Img/Png/640x300-final.png - - Now, create the final png version of syslinux backgrounds using the -following command: - - -centos-art render --entry=trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro/Anaconda/Prompt - - This command will create syslinux-splash final images for all major -releases of CentOS distribution the repository has been configured to. -The important files here are `syslinux-splash.png', other files may -contain the wrong information because we haven't defined yet the -correct color information to use. - - Open one `syslinux-splash.png' file with GIMP and use the `Image > -Mode > Indexed' to reduce image colors up to 16 colors, using the -`Generate optimum palette' feature of GIMP. If the image looks -aceptable after reducing colors, use the `Palettes' menu (Ctrl+P) of -GIMP to import a new palette from file and name it -`CentOS-TreeFlower-Syslinux'. Once you've saved the palette, the color -information is stored at: - - -~/.gimp-2.2/palettes/CentOS-TreeFlower-Syslinux.gpl - - You need to edit `CentOS-TreeFlower-Syslinux.gpl' file in order to -set the appropriate order of colors. Remember black (000000) in -position 0, and white (ffffff) in position 7. Other positions are -irrelevant. When editing this file you may find that color reduction -did not set black and white colors to their respective values exactly. -Change that manually. For example, consider the following palette: - - -GIMP Palette -Name: CentOS-TreeFlower-Syslinux -Columns: 16 -# - 0 0 0 Background (black) - 23 20 35 Untitled - 34 25 48 Untitled - 37 35 60 Untitled - 47 36 68 Untitled - 37 54 86 Untitled - 60 48 90 Untitled -255 255 255 Foreground (white) - 66 54 99 Untitled - 74 61 98 Untitled - 49 78 126 Untitled - 43 87 151 Untitled - 92 89 95 Untitled - 54 104 183 Untitled -158 153 156 Untitled -201 196 195 Untitled - - Update the `Palettes' menu to get the new color positions from the -file you just edited and open the palette with double click. - - Update the `syslinux.gpl' file copying the following file: - - -~/.gimp-2.2/palettes/CentOS-TreeFlower-Syslinux.gpl - - to - - -trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Colors/syslinux.gpl - - With the `CentOS-TreeFlower-Syslinux' palette opened in the `Palette -Editor', open (Ctrl+O) the following file: - - -trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Colors/syslinux.ppm - - and replace its color information with that one in -`CentOS-TreeFlower-Syslinux' palette. When you are replacing color -information inside `syslilnux.ppm', remember to keep the order of -colors just as they are in the `CentOS-TreeFlower-Palette' palette. - - The `syslinux.ppm' file is 16 pixels width and 1 pixel height, so -you probably need to zoom it a bit to set the color information in -their place when using the pen tool with the brush `Circle (01) (1 x -1)'. - - Once you've updated the `syslinux.ppm' file, it is time to update -the following file: - - -trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Colors/syslinux.hex - - The `syslinux.hex' file contains the color information in -hexadecimal notation. The color information in hexadecimal notation is -required by `ppmtolss16' command. The `ppmtolss16' command produces -the final LSS16 image format that is used by syslinux program inside -CentOS distribution. - - The color information inside `syslinux.hex' must match the one in -`syslinux.ppm' and `syslinux.gpl'. For example, based on -`CentOS-TreeFlower-Syslinux' palette of colors above, consider the -following `syslinux.hex' file: - - -#000000=0 -#171423=1 -#221930=2 -#25233c=3 -#2f2444=4 -#253656=5 -#3c305a=6 -#ffffff=7 -#423663=8 -#4a3d62=9 -#314e7e=10 -#2b5797=11 -#5c595f=12 -#3668b7=13 -#9e999c=14 -#c9c4c3=15 - -2.46.2.3 Grub background -........................ - -2.46.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.46.4 See also ---------------- - -2.47 The `trunk/Identity/Widgets' Directory -=========================================== - -2.47.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.47.2 Description ------------------- - -2.47.3 Usage ------------- - -2.47.4 See also ---------------- - -2.48 The `trunk/Locales' Directory -================================== - -The `trunk/Locales' directory exists to store the translation messages -used to produce content in different languages. - - Translation messages are organized using the directory structure of -the component being translated. For example, if we want to provide -translation messages for `trunk/Manuals/Filesystem', then the -`trunk/Locales/Manuals/Filesystem' directory needs to be created. - - Once the locale directory exists for the component we want to provide -translation messages for, it is necessary to create the translation -files where translation messages are. The translation files follows the -concepts of `xml2po' and GNU `gettext' tools. - - The basic translation process is as follow: first, translatable -strings are extracted from files and a portable object template (.pot) -is created or updated with the information. Using the portable object -template, a portable object (.po) is created or updated for translator -to locale the messages retrived. Finally, a machine object (.mo) is -created from portable object to sotore the translated messages. - - Inside the repository there are two ways to retrive translatable -strings from files. The first one is through `xml2po' command and the -second through `xgettext' command. The `xml2po' is used to retrive -translatable strings from XML files (e.g., Scalable Vector Graphics, -DocBook, etc.) and the `xgettext' command is used to retrive -translatable strings from shell scripts files (e.g., the files that -make the `centos-art.sh' command-line interface). - - When translatable strings are retrived from XML files, using the -`xml2po' command, there is no need to create the machine object as we -do when translatable strings ar retrived from shell files, using the -`xgettext' command. The `xml2po' produces a temporal machine object in -order to create a translated XML file. Once the translated XML file has -been created the machine object is no longer needed. On the other hand, -the machine object produced by the `xgettext' command is required by -the system in order for the show shell script localized messages. - - Another difference between `xml2po' and `xgettext' we need to be -aware of is the directory structure used to store machine objects. In -`xml2po', the machine object is created in the current working -directory as `.xml2po.mo' and can be safetly removed once the -translated XML file has been created. In the case of `xgettext', the -machine object needs to be stored in the -`$TEXTDOMAIN/$LOCALE/LL_MESSAGES/$TEXTDOMAIN.mo' file in order for the -system to interpret it and should not be removed since it is the file -that contain the translation messages themselves. - - Automation of localization tasks is achived through the `locale' -functionality of command-line interface. - -2.49 The `trunk/Locales/Identity' Directory -=========================================== - -2.49.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.49.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.49.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.49.4 See also ---------------- - -2.50 The `trunk/Locales/Identity/Brands' Directory -================================================== - -2.50.1 Goals ------------- - - * Organize brands' translation files. - -2.50.2 Description ------------------- - -Translation files, inside `trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands' -translation entry, don't use default rendering translation -functionality, they use the following translation pre-rendering -configuration file instead: - - -/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translation/Identity/Brands/render.conf.sh - - Inside `trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands' translation entry, -translation files are symbolic links pointing to the common template -translation structure, inside the translation template (`Tpl/') -directory. - - Inside `trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands' translation entry, -translation files are created using identity design templates as -reference. The translation pre-rendering script creates a translation -structure where the translation template (`Tpl/') directory structure -applies to each single design template available. - - For example, if the brands' translation template (`Tpl/') directory -has 30 translation files, and there are 20 design templates; the -brands' translation pre-rendering script creates a translation -structure of symbolic links where the 30 translation files apply the 20 -design templates one by one, producing 600 translation symbolic links -as result. At this point, when rendering identity, the `centos-art' -script considers translation symbolic links as translation files. - - Translation file names, inside brands' translation template (`Tpl') -directory have special meaning: - -2.50.2.1 Conventional file names -................................ - -Convenctional file names look like `blue.sed', `2c-a.sed', etc. -Replacement commands inside translation file are applied to design -templates and translation file names are used as final image name. The -image dimensions use the same dimensions that design template has. - -2.50.2.2 Numeric file names -........................... - -Numeric file names look like `300.sed', `200.sed', etc. Replacements -commands inside translation files are applied to design templates, and -translation file names are used as final image name. The final image -is saved using an specific `width' defined by the number part of the -translation file name. The image `height' is automatically scaled based -on the previous `width' definition to maintain the designing ratio. - - For example, if your design template has 400x200 pixels of dimension, -and you apply a translation file named `300.sed' to it, the final image -you get as result will have 300x100 pixels of dimension. The same is -true if you use higher numbers like `1024.sed', `2048.sed', etc. In -these cases you have bigger images proportionally. - - As we are using scalable vector graphics to design identity -templates, the image size you produce is not limitted in size. You can -use one design template produced in 400x200 pixels to produce larger or -shorter PNG images using numeric translation files as described above. - -2.50.2.3 Translation markers -............................ - -Inside `trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands/', translation files combine -the following translation markers: - -`#000000' - Specify which color to use when rendering brand images. - - *Note* As translation files inside - `trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands' are symbolic links that - point to template translation files, translation markers are - defined inside template translation files. - -2.50.3 Usage ------------- - -To render brands' translation files, use the following command: - - -centos-art render --translation=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Translations/Identity/Brands - -2.50.4 See also ---------------- - -2.51 The `trunk/Locales/Identity/Brands/Tpl' Directory -====================================================== - -2.51.1 Goals ------------- - -2.51.2 Description ------------------- - -2.51.3 Usage ------------- - -2.51.4 See also ---------------- - -2.52 The `trunk/Locales/Identity/Fonts' Directory -================================================= - -2.52.1 Goals ------------- - -This section exists to organize fonts translation files. - -2.52.2 Description ------------------- - -Translation files, inside `trunk/Translations/Fonts', have the -following structure: - - -s!font-family:Denmark!font-family:DejaVu LGC Sans! -s!font-weight:normal!font-weight:bold! -s!font-style:normal!font-style:italic! - - Inside `trunk/Translations/Fonts', there is one translation file for -each font preview image you want to produce. This way, we create one -translation file for each font-family we use somewhere inside CentOS -visual identity. - - *Important* Do not create translation files for font-families not - used somewhere inside CentOS visual identity. The identity of font - entry (*note Filesystem trunk Identity Fonts::) is used as - reference when someone needs to know which font-families are - allowed to use inside CentOS visual identity. - -2.52.2.1 Translation Markers -............................ - -Inside `trunk/Translations/Identity/Fonts', translation files combine -the following translation markers: - -`font-family:Denmark' - Specify which font family to use when rendering font preview - images. - -`font-weight:normal' - Specify which font weight to use when rendering font preview - images. - -`font-style:normal' - Specify which font style to use when rendering font preview images. - -2.52.3 Usage ------------- - -Inside `trunk/Translations/Fonts' you use your favorite text editor to -create translation files. Inside `trunk/Translations/Fonts' there is -not translation template directory (`Tpl/'), nor translation rendering -using `centos-art' script.

The -`centos-art.sh' script standardizes frequent tasks inside your working -copy of CentOS Artwork Repository. - -2.62.2 Description ------------------- - -The best way to understand `centos-art.sh' automation script is -studying its source code. However, as start point, you may prefer to -read an introductory resume before diving into the source code details. - - The `centos-art.sh' script is written in Bash. Most tasks, inside -`centos-art.sh' script, have been organized in many specific -functionalities that you can invoke from the `centos-art' command-line -interface. - - When you type the `centos-art' command in your terminal, the -operating system trys to execute that command. In order to execute the -command, the operating system needs to know where it is, so the -operating system uses the PATH environment variable to look for that -command location. If your system was prepared to use CentOS Artwork -Repository correctly (-- *Removed*(pxref:trunk Scripts Bash Functions -Verify) --), you should have a symbolic link inside `~/bin/' directory -that points to the `centos-art.sh' script file. As `~/bin/' directory -is, by default, inside PATH environment variable, the execution of -`centos-art' command runs the `centos-art.sh' script. - - When `centos-art.sh' script is executed, the first it does is -executing the `trunk/Scripts/Bash/initEnvironment.sh' script to -initialize global variables (e.g., `gettext' variables) and global -function scripts. Global function scripts are located inside -`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions' directory and their file names begin -with `cli'. Global function scripts provide common functionalities that -can be used anywhere inside `centos-art.sh' script execution -environment. - - Once global variables and function scripts have been loaded, -`centos-art.sh' script executes the `cli' global function from `cli.sh' -function script to retrive command-line arguments and define some -default values that may be used later by specific function scripts (-- -*Removed*(pxref:trunk Scripts Bash Functions) --). - - As convenction, the `centos-art.sh' command-line arguments have the -following format: - - -centos-art arg1 --arg2=val2 --arg3=val3 - - In the above example, `centos-art' is the command you use to invoke -`centos-art.sh' script. The `arg1' is required and represents the -functionality you want to perform (e.g., `verify', `render', `locale', -`manual', etc.). The remaining arguments are modifiers to `arg1'. The -`--arg2' definition is required and represets, specifically, the action -inside the functionality you want to perform. The `--arg3' and on, are -optional. - - Once command-line arguments have been retrived, the `centos-art.sh' -script loads specific functionalities using the `cli_getFunctions.sh' -function script.

Inside `centos-art.sh' script, each specific -functionality is considered a program that should do one thing well. -Of course, if you find that they still don't do it, feel free to -improve them in order for them to do so. - - The specific functions of `centos-art.sh' script are organized -inside specific directories under `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions' -location. Each specific function directory should be named as the -function it represents, with the first letter in uppercase. For -example, if the function name is `render', the specific function -directory for it would be `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Render'. - - To better understand how specific functions of `centos-art.sh' -script are designed, lets create one function which only goal is to -output different kind of greetings to your screen. - - When we create specific functions for `centos-art.sh' script it is -crucial to know what these functions will do exactly and if there is -any function that already does what we intend to do. If there is no -one, it is good time to create them then. Otherwise, if functionalities -already available don't do what you exactly expect, contact their -authors and work together to improve them. - - *Tip* Join CentOS developers mailing list - to share your ideas. - - It is also worth to know what global functions and variables do we -have available inside `centos-art.sh' script, so advantage can be taken -from them. Global variables are defined inside global function scripts. -Global functions scripts are stored immediatly under -`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions' directory, in files begining with `cli' -prefix. - - OK, let's begin with our functionality example. - - What function name do we use? Well, lets use `greet'. Note that -`hello' word is not a verb; but an expression, a kind of greeting, an -interjection specifically. In contrast, `greet' is a verb and describes -what we do when we say `Hello!', `Hi!', and similar expressions. - - So far, we've gathered the following function information: - - -Name: greet -Path: trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Greet -File: trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Greet/greet.sh - - The `greet.sh' function script is the first file `centos-art.sh' -script loads when the `greet' functionality is called using commands -like `centos-art greet --hello='World''. The `greet.sh' function -script contains the `greet' function definition. - - Inside `centos-art.sh' script, as convenction, each function script -has one top commentary, followed by one blank line, and then one -function defintion below it only. - - Inside `centos-art.sh' script functions, top commentaries have the -following components: the functionality description, one-line for -copyright note with your personal information, the license under which -the function source code is released --the `centos-art.sh' script is -released as GPL, so do all its functions--, the `$Id$' keyword of -Subversion is later expanded by `svn propset' command. - - In our `greet' function example, top commentary for `greet.sh' -function script would look like the following: - - -#!/bin/bash -# -# greet.sh -- This function outputs different kind of greetings to -# your screen. Use this function to understand how centos-art.sh -# script specific functionalities work. -# -# Copyright (C) YEAR YOURFULLNAME -# -# This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify -# it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by -# the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or -# (at your option) any later version. -# -# This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but -# WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of -# MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

The command-line -interface of `greet' functionality defines what and how actions are -performed, based on arguments combination passed to `centos-art.sh' -script. - - -function greet_getActions { - - case "$ACTIONNAM" in - - --hello ) - greet_doHello - ;; - - --bye ) - greet_doBye - ;; - - * ) - cli_printMessage "`gettext "The option provided is not valid."`" - cli_printMessage "$(caller)" 'AsToKnowMoreLine' - - esac - -} - - The ACTIONNAM global variable is defined in `cli.sh' function script -and contains the value passed before the equal sign (i.e., `=') in the -second command-line argument of `centos-art.sh' script. For example, if -the second command-line argument is `--hello='World'', the value of -ACTIONNAM variable would be `--hello'. Using this configuration let us -deside which action to perform based on the action name passed to -`centos-art.sh' script as second argument. - - The `greet' function definition makes available two valid greetings -through `--hello' and `--bye' options. If no one of them is provided -as second command-line argument, the `*' case is evaluated instead. - - The `*' case and its two lines further on should always be present -in `_getActions.sh' function scripts, no matter what specific -functionality you are creating. This convenction helps the user to find -out documentation about current functionality in use, when no valid -action is provided. - - The `greet_doHello' and `greet_doBye' function definitions are the -core of `greet' specific functionality. In such function definitions -we set what our `greet' function really does: to output different kinds -of greetings. - - -function greet_doHello { - - cli_printMessage "`gettext "Hello"` $ACTIONVAL" - -} - - The `greet_doHello' function definition is stored in -`greet_doHello.sh' function script. - - -function greet_doBye { - - cli_printMessage "`gettext "Goodbye"` $ACTIONVAL" - -} - - The `greet_doBye' function definition is stored in the -`greet_doBye.sh' function script. - - Both `greet_doHello.sh' and `greet_doBye.sh' function scripts are -stored inside `greet' function directory path (i.e. -`trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Greet'). - - The ACTIONVAL global variable is defined in `cli.sh' function script -and contains the value passed after the equal sign (i.e., `=') in the -second command-line argument of `centos-art.sh' script. For example, if -the second command-line argument is `--hello='World'', the value of -ACTIONVAL variable would be `World' without quotes. - - Let's see how `greet' specific functionality files are organzied -under `greet' function directory. To see file organization we use the -`tree' command: - - -trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Greet -|-- greet_doBye.sh -|-- greet_doHello.sh -|-- greet_getActions.sh -`-- greet.sh - - To try the `greet' specific functionality we've just created, pass -the function name (i.e., `greet') as first argument to `centos-art.sh' -script, and any of the valid options as second argument. Some examples -are illustrated below: - - -[centos@projects ~]$ centos-art greet --hello='World' -Hello World -[centos@projects ~]$ centos-art greet --bye='World' -Goodbye World -[centos@projects ~]$ - - The word `World' in the examples above can be anything. In fact, -change it to have a little fun. - - Now that we have a specific function that works as we expect, it is -time to document it. To document `greet' specific functionality, we -use its directory path and the `manual' functionality (-- -*Removed*(pxref:trunk Scripts Bash Functions Manual) --) of -`centos-art.sh' script, just as the following command illustrates: - - -centos-art manual --edit=trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Greet - - To have a well documented function helps user to understand how your -function really works, and how it should be used. When no valid action -is passed to a function, the `centos-art.sh' script uses the function -documentation entry as vehicle to communicate which the valid functions -are. When no documentation entry exists for a function, the -`centos-art.sh' script informs that no documentation entry exists for -such function and requests user to create it right at that time. - - Now that we have documented our function, it is time to translate its -output messages to different languages. To translate specific -functionality output messages to different languages we use the -`locale' functionality (-- *Removed*(pxref:trunk Scripts Bash Functions -Locale) --) of `centos-art.sh' script, just as the following command -illustrates: - - -centos-art locale --edit - - *Warning* To translate output messages in different languages, - your system locale information --as in `LANG' environment - variable-- must be set to that locale you want to produce - translated messages for. For example, if you want to produce - translated messages for Spanish language, your system locale - information must be set to `es_ES.UTF-8', or similar, first. - - Well, it seems that our example is rather complete by now. - - In `greet' function example we've described so far, we only use -`cli_printMessage' global function in action specific function -definitions in order to print messages, but more interesting things can -be achieved inside action specific function definitions. For example, -if you pass a directory path as action value in second argument, you -could retrive a list of files from therein, and process them. If the -list of files turns too long or you just want to control which files to -process, you could add the third argument in the form -`--filter='regex'' and reduce the amount of files to process using a -regular expression pattern. - - The `greet' function described in this section may serve you as an -introduction to understand how specific functionalities work inside -`centos-art.sh' script. With some of luck this introduction will also -serve you as motivation to create your own `centos-art.sh' script -specific functionalities. - - By the way, the `greet' functionality doesn't exist inside -`centos-art.sh' script yet. Would you like to create it? - -2.64.3 Usage ------------- - -2.64.3.1 Global variables -......................... - -The following global variables of `centos-art.sh' script, are available -for you to use inside specific functions: - - -- Variable: TEXTDOMAIN - Default domain used to retrieve translated messages. This value is - set in `initFunctions.sh' and shouldn't be changed. - - -- Variable: TEXTDOMAINDIR - Default directory used to retrieve translated messages. This value - is set in `initFunctions.sh' and shouldn't be changed. - - -- Variable: FUNCNAM - Define function name. - - Function names associate sets of actions. There is one set of - actions for each unique function name inside `centos-art.sh' - script. - - Dunction names are passed as first argument in `centos-art.sh' - command-line interface. For example, in the command `centos-art - render --entry=path/to/dir --filter=regex', the ACTION passed to - `centos-art.sh' script is `render'. - - When first argument is not provided, the `centos-art.sh' script - immediatly ends its execution. - - -- Variable: FUNCDIR - - -- Variable: FUNCDIRNAME - - -- Variable: FUNCSCRIPT - - -- Variable: FUNCCONFIG - - -- Variable: ACTIONNAM - Define action name. - - Each action name identifies an specific action to perform, inside - an specific function. - - Action name names aare passed as second argument in - `centos-art.sh' command-line interface. For example, in the - command `centos-art render --entry=path/to/dir --filter=regex', - the ACTIONNAM passed to `centos-art.sh' script is `--entry'. - - When second argument is not provided, the `centos-art.sh' script - immediatly ends its execution. - - -- Variable: ACTIONVAL - Define action value. - - Action values are associated to just one action name. Action values - contain the working copy entry over which its associated action - will be performed in. Working copy entries can be files or - directories inside the working copy. - - -- Variable: REGEX - Define regular expression used as pattern to build the list of - files to process. - - By default, REGEX variable is set to `.+' to match all files. - - Functions that need to build a list of files to process use the - option `--filter' to redefine REGEX variable default value, and - so, control the amount of files to process. - - -- Variable: ARGUMENTS - Define optional arguments. - - Optional arguments, inside `centos-art.sh' script, are considered - as all command-line arguments passed to `centos-art.sh' script, - from third argument position on. For example, in the command - `centos-art render --entry=path/to/dir --filter=regex' , the - optional arguments are from `--filter=regex' argument on. - - Optional arguments are parsed using `getopt' command through the - following base construction: - - - # Define short options we want to support. - local ARGSS="" - - # Define long options we want to support. - local ARGSL="filter:,to:" - - # Parse arguments using getopt(1) command parser. - cli_doParseArguments - - # Reset positional parameters using output from (getopt) argument - # parser. - eval set -- "$ARGUMENTS" - - # Define action to take for each option passed. - while true; do - case "$1" in - --filter ) - REGEX="$2" - shift 2 - ;; - --to ) - TARGET="$2" - shift 2 - ;; - * ) - break - esac - done - - Optional arguments provide support to command options inside - `centos-art.sh' script. For instance, consider the Subversion - (`svn') command, where there are many options (e.g., `copy', - `delete', `move', etc), and inside each option there are several - modifiers (e.g., `--revision', `--message', `--username', etc.) - that can be combined one another in their short or long variants. - - The ARGUMENTS variable is used to store arguments passed from - command-line for later use inside `centos-art.sh' script. Storing - arguments is specially useful when we want to run a command with - some specific options from them. Consider the following command: - - - centos-art path --copy=SOURCE --to=TARGET --message="The commit message goes here." --username='johndoe' - - In the above command, the `--message', and `--username' options - are specific to `svn copy' command. In such cases, options are not - interpreted by `centos-art.sh' script itself. Instead, the - `centos-art.sh' script uses `getopt' to retrive them and store - them in the ARGUMENTS variable for later use, as described in the - following command: - - - # Build subversion command to duplicate locations inside the - # workstation. - eval svn copy $SOURCE $TARGET --quiet $ARGUMENTS - - When `getopt' parses ARGUMENTS, we may use short options (e.g., - `-m') or long options (e.g., `--message'). When we use short - options, arguments are separated by one space from the option - (e.g., `-m 'This is a commit message.''). When we use long - options arguments are separated by an equal sign (`=') (e.g., - `--message='This is a commit message''). - - In order for `getopt' to parse ARGUMENTS correctly, it is required - to provide the short and long definition of options that will be - passed or at least supported by the command performing the final - action the function script exists for. - - As convenction, inside `centos-art.sh' script, short option - definitions are set in the ARGSS variable; and long option - definitions are set in the ARGSL variable. - - When you define short and long options, it may be needed to define - which of these option arguments are required and which not. To - define an option argument as required, you need to set one colon - `:' after the option definition (e.g., `-o m: -l message:'). On - the other hand, to define an option argument as not required, you - need to set two colons `::' after the option definition (e.g., `-o - m:: -l message::'). - - -- Variable: EDITOR - Default text editor. - - The `centos-art.sh' script uses default text `EDITOR' to edit - pre-commit subversion messages, translation files, configuration - files, script files, and similar text-based files. - - If `EDITOR' environment variable is not set, `centos-art.sh' - script uses `/usr/bin/vim' as default text editor. Otherwise, the - following values are recognized by `centos-art.sh' script: - - * `/usr/bin/vim' - - * `/usr/bin/emacs' - - * `/usr/bin/nano' - - If no one of these values is set in `EDITOR' environment variable, - `centos-art.sh' uses `/usr/bin/vim' text editor by default. - -2.64.3.2 Global functions -......................... - -Function scripts stored directly under `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/' -directory are used to define global functions. Global functions can be -used inside action specific functionalities and or even be reused -inside themselves. This section provides introductory information to -global functions you can use inside `centos-art.sh' script. - - -- Function: cli_checkActionArguments - Validate action value (ACTIONVAL) variable. - - The action value variable can take one of the following values: - - 1. Path to one directory inside the local working copy, - - 2. Path to one file inside the local working copy, - - If another value different from that specified above is passed to - action value variable, the `centos-art.sh' script prints an error - message and ends script execution. - - -- Function: cli_checkFiles FILE [TYPE] - Verify file existence. - - `cli_checkFiles' receives a FILE absolute path and performs file - verification as specified in TYPE. When TYPE is not specified, - `cli_checkFiles' verifies FILE existence, no matter what kind of - file it be. If TYPE is specified, use one of the following values: - - `d' - `directory' - Ends script execution if FILE is not a directory. - - When you verify directories with cli_checkFiles, if directory - doesn't exist, `centos-art.sh' script asks you for - confirmation in order to create that directory. If you answer - positively, `centos-art.sh' script creates that directory and - continues script flows normally. Otherwise, if you answer - negatively, `centos-art.sh' ends script execution with an - error and documentation message. - - `f' - - `regular-file' - Ends script execution if FILE is not a regular file. - - `h' - `symbolic-link' - Ends script execution if FILE is not a symbolic link. - - `x' - `execution' - Ends script execution if FILE is not executable. - - `fh' - Ends script execution if FILE is neither a regular file nor a - symbolic link. - - `fd' - Ends script execution if FILE is neither a regular file nor a - directory. - - `isInWorkingCopy' - Ends script execution if FILE is not inside the working copy. - - As default behaviour, if FILE passes all verifications, - `centos-art.sh' script continues with its normal flow. - - -- Function: cli_commitRepoChanges [LOCATION] - Syncronize changes between repository and working copy. - - The `cli_commitRepoChanges' function brings changes from the - central repository down to the working copy--using `svn update'--, - checks the working copy changes--using `svn status' command--, - prints status report--using both `svn update' and `svn status' - commands output, and finally, commits recent changes from the - working copy up to the repository--using `svn commit' command--. - - Previous to commit the working copy changes up to the central - repository, the `cli_commitRepoChanges' function asks you to - verify changes--using `svn diff' command--, and later, another - confirmation question is shown to be sure you really want to - commit changes up to central repository. - - If LOCATION argument is not specified, the value of ACTIONVAL - variable is used as reference instead. - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - --> Bringing changes from the repository into the working copy - --> Checking changes in the working copy - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Added 0 file from the repository. - Deleted 0 file from the repository. - Updated 0 file from the repository. - Conflicted 0 file from the repository. - Merged 0 file from the repository. - Modified 4 files from the working copy. - Unversioned 0 file from the working copy. - Deleted 0 file from the working copy. - Added 0 file from the working copy. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - - Figure 2.3: The `cli_commitRepoChanges' function output. - - Call the `cli_commitRepoChanges' function before or/and after - calling functions that modify files or directories inside the - working copy as you may need to. - - -- Function: cli_doParseArguments - Redefine arguments (ARGUMENTS) global variable using `getopt' - command output. For more information about how to use - `cli_doParseArguments' function, see ARGUMENTS variable - description above. - - -- Function: cli_doParseArgumentsReDef $@ - Initialize/reset arguments (ARGUMENTS) global variable using - positional parameters variable ($@) as reference. - - When we work inside function definitions, positional parameters are - reset to the last function definition positional parameters. If - you need to redefine positional parameters from one specific - function, you need to call `cli_doParseArgumentsReDef' with the - positional parameters variable ($@), set as first argument, to that - specific function you want to redefine positional parameters at. - - -- Function: cli_getArguments - Initialize function name (FUNCNAM), action name (ACTIONNAM), and - action value (ACTIONVAL) global variables, using positional - parameters passed in $@ variable. - - The `cli_getArguments' function is called from `cli.sh' function - script, using `cli' function positional parameters (i.e., the - positional parameters passed as arguments in the command-line) as - first function argument. - - Once command-line positional parameters are accesible to - `centos-art.sh' script execution evironment, `cli_getArguments' - uses regular expression to retrive action variables from first and - second argument. The first argument defines the value used as - function name (FUNCNAM), and the second argument defines both - values used as action name (ACTIONNAM) and action value - (ACTIONVAL), respectively. - - The first argument is a word in lower case. This word specifies the - name of the functionality you want to use (e.g., `render' to - render images, `manual' to work on documentation, and so on.) - - The second argument has a long option style (e.g., - `--option=value'). The `--option' represents the action name - (ACTIONNAM), and the characters inbetween the equal sign (`=') and - the first space character, are considered as the action value - (ACTIONVAL). In order to provide action values with space - characters inbetween you need to enclose action value with quotes - like in `--option='This is long value with spaces inbetween''. - Generally, action values are used to specify paths over which the - action name acts on. - - Once action related variables (i.e., FUNCNAM, ACTIONNAM, and - ACTIONVAL) are defined and validated, `cli_getArguments' shifts - the positional arguments to remove the first two arguments passed - (i.e., those used to retrive action related variables) and - redefine the arguments (ARGUMENTS) global variable with the new - positional parameters information. - - -- Function: cli_getFunctions - Initialize funtionalities supported by `centos-art.sh' script. - - Functionalities supported by `centos-art.sh' script are organized - in functionality directories under `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/' - directory. Each functionality directory stores function scripts to - the functionality such directory was created for. Function scripts - contain function definitions. Function definitions contain - several commands focused on achieving one specific task only - (i.e., the one such functionality was created for). - - In order for `centos-art.sh' script to recognize a functionality, - such functionality needs to be stored under - `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/' in a directory written capitalized - (i.e., the whole name is written in lowercase except the first - character which is in uppercase). The directory where one specific - functionality is stored is known as the `functionality directory'. - - Inside each functionality directory, the functionalty itself is - implemented through function scripts. Function scripts are - organized in files independently one another and written in - `camelCase' format with the function name as prefix. Separation - between prefix and description is done using underscore (`_') - character. - - In order for `centos-art.sh' script to load functionalities - correctly, function definition inside function scripts should be - set using the `function' reserved word, just as in the following - example: - - - function prefix_doSomething { - - # Do something here... - - } - - The above function definition is just a convenction we use, in - order to make identification of function names easier read and - automate by `centos-art.sh' script initialization commands, once - `centos-art.sh' script determines which functionality directory to - use. Specifically, in order to initialize and export functions, - `centos-art.sh' script executes all function scripts inside the - functionality directory, and later `grep' on them using a regular - expression pattern, where the `function' reserved word is used as - reference to retrive the function names and export them to - `centos-art.sh' script execution environment, and so, make - function definitions --from function scripts inside the - functionality directory-- available for further calls. - - If the functionality specified in the command-line first argument - doesn't have a functionality directory, `centos-art.sh' script - considers the functionality provided in the command-line as invalid - functionality and immediatly stops script execution with an error - message. - - In order to keep visual consistency among function scripts, please - consider using the following function script design model as - template for your own function scripts: - - - #!/bin/bash - # - # prefix_doSomething.sh -- This function illustrates function scripts - # design model you can use to create your own function scripts inside - # centos-art.sh script. - # - # Copyright (C) YEAR YOURFULLNAME - # - # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify - # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by - # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or - # (at your option) any later version. - # - # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but - # WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of - # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

When FILTER is provided, - `cli_getCountryCodes' outputs country codes that match FILTER - regular expression pattern. - - -- Function: cli_getCountryName [FILTER] - Outputs country name supported by `centos-art.sh' script. - - The `cli_getCountryName' function reads one language locale code - in the format LL_CC and outputs the name of its related country as - in ISO3166. If filter is specified, `cli_getCountryName' returns - the country name that matches the locale code specified in FILTER, - exactly. - - -- Function: cli_getCurrentLocale - Output current locale used by `centos-art.sh' script. - - The `cli_getCurrentLocale' function uses `LANG' environment - variable to build a locale pattern that is later applied to - `cli_getLocales' function output in order to return the current - locale that `centos-art.sh' script works with. - - The current locale information, returned by - `cli_getCurrentLocale', is output from more specific to less - specific. For example, if `en_GB' locale exists in - `cli_getLocales' function output, the `en_GB' locale would take - precedence before `en' locale. - - Locale precedence selection is quite important in order to define - the locale type we use for message translations. For example, if - `en_GB' is used, we are also saying that the common language - specification for English language (i.e., `en') is no longer used. - Instead, we are using English non-common country-specific language - specifications like `en_AU', `en_BW', `en_GB', `en_US', etc., for - message translations. - - Use `cli_getCurrentLocale' function to know what current locale - information to use inside `centos-art.sh' script. - - -- Function: cli_getFilesList [LOCATION] - Output list of files to process. - - The `cli_getFilesList' function uses LOCATION variable as source - location to build a list of files just as specified by regular - expression (REGEX) global variable. Essentially, what the - `cli_getFilesList' function does is using `find' command to look - for files in the location (LOCATION) just as posix-egrep regular - expression (REGEX) specifies. - - If LOCATION is not specified when `cli_getFilesList' function is - called, the action value (ACTIONVAL) global variable is used as - location value instead. - - By default, if the regular expression (REGEX) global variable is - not redefined after its first definition in the `cli' function, - all files that match default regular expression value (i.e., `.+') - will be added to the list of files to process. Otherwise, if you - redefine the regular expression global variable after its first - definition in the `cli' function and before calling - `cli_getFilesList' function, the last value you specifed is used - instead. - - When you need to customize the regular expression (REGEX) global - variable value inside a function, do not redefine the global - variable (at least you be absolutly convinced you need to). - Instead, set the regular expression global variable as `local' to - the function you need a customized regular expression value for. - If we don't redefine the regular expression global variable as - local to the function, or use another name for the regular - expression variable (which is not very convenient in order to keep - the amount of names to remember low), you may experiment undesired - concantenation issues that make your regular expression to be - something different from that you expect them to be, specially if - the function where you are doing the variable redefinition is - called several times during the same script execution. - - As result, the `cli_getFilesList' re-defines the value of FILES - variable with the list of files the `find' command returned. As - example, consider the following construction: - - - function prefix_doSomething { - - # Initialize the list of files to process. - local FILES='' - - # Initialize location. - local LOCATION=/home/centos/artwork/trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default - - # Re-define regular expression to match scalable vector graphic - # files only. Note how we use the global value of REGEX to build a - # new local REGEX value here. - local REGEX="${REGEX}.*\.(svgz|svg)" - - # Redefine list of files to process. - cli_getFilesList $LOCATION - - # Process list of files. - for FILE in $FILES;do - cli_printMessages "$FILE" 'AsResponseLine' - # Do something else here on... - done - - } - - - -- Function: cli_getLangCodes [FILTER] - Outputs language codes supported by `centos-art.sh' script. - - `cli_getLangCodes' function outputs a list of language codes as - defined in ISO639 standard. When FILTER is provided, - `cli_getLangCodes' outputs language codes that match FILTER - regular expression pattern. - - -- Function: cli_getLangName [FILTER] - Outputs language names supported by `centos-art.sh' script. - - `cli_getLangName' function reads one language locale code in the - format LL_CC and outputs the language related name as in ISO639. If - filter is specified, `cli_getLangName' returns the language name - that matches the locale code specified in FILTER, exactly. - - -- Function: cli_getLocales - Output locale codes supported by `centos-art.sh' script. - - Occasionally, you use `cli_getLocales' function to add locale - information in non-common country-specific language (`LL_CC') - format for those languages (e.g., `bn_IN', `pt_BR', etc.) which - locale differences cannot be solved using common language - specifications (`LL') into one unique common locale specification - (e.g., `bn', `pt', etc.). - - -- Function: cli_getRepoName NAME TYPE - Sanitate file names. - - Inside `centos-art.sh' script, specific functionalities rely both - in `cli_getRepoName' and repository file system organization to - achieve their goals. Consider `cli_getRepoName' function as - central place to manage file name convenctions for other functions - inside `centos-art.sh' script. - - *Important* `cli_getRepoName' function doesn't verify file or - directory existence, for that purpose use `cli_checkFiles' - function instead. - - The NAME variable contains the file name or directory name you - want to sanitate. - - The TYPE variable specifies what type of sanitation you want to - perform on NAME. The TYPE can be one of the following values: - - `d' - `directory' - Sanitate directory NAMEs. - - `f' - - `regular-file' - Sanitate regular file NAMEs. - - Use `cli_getRepoName' function to sanitate file names and - directory names before their utilization. - - Use `cli_getRepoName' when you need to change file name - convenctions inside `centos-art.sh' script. - - When we change file name convenctions inside `cli_getRepoName' - what we are really changing is the way functions interpret - repository file system organization. Notice that when we change a - file name (e.g., a function name), it is necessary to update all - files where such file name is placed on. This may require a - massive substitution inside the repository, each time we change - name convenctions in the repository (-- *Removed*(pxref:trunk - Scripts Bash Functions Path) --, for more information). - - -- Function: cli_getRepoStatus [LOCATION] - Request repository status. - - This function requests the status of a LOCATION inside the working - copy using the `svn status' command and returns the first - character in the output line, just as described in `svn help - status'. If LOCATION is not a regular file or a directory, inside - the working copy, the `centos-art.sh' script prints a message and - ends its execution. - - Use this function to perform verifications based a repository - LOCATION status. - - -- Function: cli_getTemporalFile NAME - Output absolute path to temporal file NAME. - - The `cli_getTemporalFile' function uses `/tmp' directory as source - location to store temporal files, the `centos-art.sh' script name, - and a random identification string to let you run more than one - `centos-art.sh' script simultaneously on the same user session. - For example, due the following temporal file defintion: - - - cli_getTemporalFile $FILE - - If FILE name is `instance.svg' and the unique random string is - `f16f7b51-ac12-4b7f-9e66-72df847f12de', the final temporal file, - built from previous temporal file definition, would be: - - - /tmp/centos-art.sh-f16f7b51-ac12-4b7f-9e66-72df847f12de-instance.svg - - When you use the `cli_getTemporalFile' function to create temporal - files, be sure to remove temporal files created once you've ended - up with them. For example, consider the following construction: - - - for FILE in $FILES;do - - # Initialize temporal instance of file. - INSTANCE=$(cli_getTemporalFile $FILE) - - # Do something ... - - # Remove temporal instance of file. - if [[ -f $INSTANCE ]];then - rm $INSTANCE - fi - - done - - Use the `cli_getTemporalFile' function whenever you need to create - temporal files inside `centos-art.sh' script. - - -- Function: cli_getThemeName - Output theme name. - - In order for `cli_getThemeName' function to extract theme name - correctly, the ACTIONVAL variable must contain a directory path - under `trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/' directory structure. - Otherwise, `cli_getThemeName' returns an empty string. - - -- Function: cli_printMessage MESSAGE [FORMAT] - Define standard output message definition supported by - `centos-art.sh' script. - - When FORMAT is not specified, `cli_printMessage' outputs - information just as it was passed in MESSAGE variable. Otherwise, - FORMAT can take one of the following values: - - `AsHeadingLine' - To print heading messages. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - $MESSAGE - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - - `AsWarningLine' - To print warning messages. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - WARNING: $MESSAGE - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - - `AsNoteLine' - To print note messages. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - NOTE: $MESSAGE - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - - `AsUpdatingLine' - To print `Updating' messages on two-columns format. - Updating $MESSAGE - - `AsRemovingLine' - To print `Removing' messages on two-columns format. - Removing $MESSAGE - - `AsCheckingLine' - To print `Checking' messages on two-columns format. - Checking $MESSAGE - - `AsCreatingLine' - To print `Creating' messages on two-columns format. - Creating $MESSAGE - - `AsSavedAsLine' - To print `Saved as' messages on two-columns format. - Saved as $MESSAGE - - `AsLinkToLine' - To print `Linked to' messages on two-columns format. - Linked to $MESSAGE - - `AsMovedToLine' - To print `Moved to' messages on two-columns format. - Moved to $MESSAGE - - `AsTranslationLine' - To print `Translation' messages on two-columns format. - Translation $MESSAGE - - `AsConfigurationLine' - To print `Configuration' messages on two-columns format. - Configuration $MESSAGE - - `AsResponseLine' - To print response messages on one-column format. - --> $MESSAGE - - `AsRequestLine' - To print request messages on one-column format. Request - messages output messages with one colon (`:') and without - trailing newline (`\n') at message end. - $MESSAGE: - - `AsYesOrNoRequestLine' - To print `yes or no' request messages on one-column format. If - something different from `y' is answered (when using - `en_US.UTF-8' locale), script execution ends immediatly. - - - $MESSAGE [y/N]: - - When we use `centos-art.sh' script in a locale different from - `en_US.UTF-8', confirmation answer may be different from `y'. - For example, if you use `es_ES.UTF-8' locale, the - confirmation question would look like: - - - $MESSAGE [s/N]: - - and the confirmation answer would be `s', as it is on Spanish - `sí' word. - - Definition of which confirmation word to use is set on - translation messages for your specific locale information. -- - *Removed*(xref:trunk Scripts Bash Functions Locale) --, for - more information about locale-specific translation messages. - - `AsToKnowMoreLine' - To standardize `to know more, run the following command:' - messages. When the `AsToKnowMoreLine' option is used, the - MESSAGE value should be set to `"$(caller)"'. `caller' is a - Bash builtin that returns the context of the current - subroutine call. `AsToKnowMoreLine' option uses `caller' - builtin output to build documentation entries dynamically. - - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - To know more, run the following command: - centos-art manual --read='path/to/dir' - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - - Use `AsToKnowMoreLine' option after errors and for intentional - script termination. - - `AsRegularLine' - To standardize regular messages on one-column format. - - When MESSAGE contains a colon inside (e.g., `description: - message'), the `cli_printMessage' function outputs MESSAGE on - two-columns format. - - Use `cli_printMessage' function whenever you need to output - information from `centos-art.sh' script. - - *Tip* To improve two-columns format, change the following - file: - trunk/Scripts/Bash/Styles/output_forTwoColumns.awk - -2.64.3.3 Specific functions -........................... - -The following specific functions of `centos-art.sh' script, are -available for you to use: - -2.64.4 See also ---------------- - -2.65 The `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Cli/Functions/Help' Directory -========================================================== - -2.65.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.65.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.65.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.65.4 See also ---------------- - -2.66 The `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Cli/Functions/Html' Directory -========================================================== - -2.66.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.66.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.66.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.66.4 See also ---------------- - -2.67 The `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Cli/Functions/Identity' Directory -============================================================== - -2.67.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.67.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.67.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.67.4 See also ---------------- - -2.68 The `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Cli/Functions/Locale' Directory -============================================================ - -2.68.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.68.2 Description ------------------- - -This command looks for `.sh' files inside Bash directory and extracts -translatable strings from files, using `xgettext' command, in order to -create a portable object template (`centos-art.sh.pot') file for them. - - With the `centos-art.sh.pot' file up to date, the `centos-art' -command removes the temporal list of files sotred inside `/tmp' -directory and checks the current language of your user's session to -create a portable object file for it, in the location -`$CLI_LANG/$CLI_LANG.po'. - - The CLI_LANG variable discribes the locale language used to output -messages inside `centos-art' command. The locale language used inside -`centos-art' command is taken from the `LANG' environment variable. -The CLI_LANG variable has the `LL_CC' format, where `LL' is a language -code from the ISO-639 standard, and `CC' a country code from the -ISO-3166 standard. - - The `LANG' environment variable is set when you do log in to your -system. If you are using a graphical session, change language to your -native language and do login. That would set and exoprt the `LANG' -environment variable to the correct value. On the other side, if you -are using a text session edit your `~/.bash_profile' file to set and -export the `LANG' environment variable to your native locale as defines -the `locale -a' command output; do logout, and do login again. - - At this point, the `LANG' environment variable has the appropriate -value you need, in order to translate `centos-art.sh' messages to your -native language (the one set in `LANG' environment variable). - - With the `$CLI_LANG/$CLI_LANG.po' file up to date, the `centos-art' -opens it for you to update translation strings. The `centos-art' -command uses the value of EDITOR environment variable to determine your -favorite text editor. If no value is defined on EDITOR, the -`/usr/bin/vim' text editor is used as default. - - When you finishd PO file edition and quit text editor, the -`centos-art' command creates the related machine object in the location -`$CLI_LANG/LC_MESSAGES/$TEXTDOMAIN.mo'. - - At this point, all translations you made in the PO file should be -available to your language when runing `centos-art.sh' script. - - In order to make the `centos-art.sh' internationalization, the -`centos-art.sh' script was modified as described in the `gettext' info -documentation (`info gettext'). You can find such modifications in the -following files: - - * `trunk/Scripts/Bash/initFunctions.sh' - - * `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Help/cli_localeMessages.sh' - - * `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Help/cli_localeMessagesStatus.sh' - - * ... - -2.68.3 Usage ------------- - -`centos-art locale --edit' - Use this command to translate command-line interface output - messages in the current system locale you are using (as specified - in `LANG' environment variable). - -`centos-art locale --list' - Use this command to see the command-line interface locale report. - -2.68.4 See also ---------------- - -2.69 The `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Cli/Functions/Manual' Directory -============================================================ - -2.69.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.69.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.69.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.69.4 See also ---------------- - -2.70 The `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Cli/Functions/Path' Directory -========================================================== - -2.70.1 Goals ------------- - -This section exists to organize files related to `path' -functiontionality.

The repository layout provides the standard -backend required for automation scripts to work correctly. If such -layout changes unexpectedly, automation scripts may confuse themselves -and stop doing what we expect from them to do. - - As convenction, inside CentOS Artwork Repository, we organize files -and directories related to CentOS corporate visual identity under three -top level directories named: `trunk/', `branches/', and `tags/'. - - The `trunk/' directory (*note Filesystem trunk::) organizes the main -development line of CentOS corporate visual identity. Inside `trunk/' -directory structure, the CentOS corporate visual identity concepts are -implemented using directories. There is one directory level for each -relevant concept inside the repository. The `trunk/' directory -structure is mainly used to perform development tasks related to CentOS -corporate visual identity. - - The `branches/' directory () oranizes parallel development lines to -`trunk/' directory. The `branches/' directory is used to set points in -time where develpment lines are devided one from another taking separte -and idependent lives that share a common past from the point they were -devided on. The `branches/' directory is mainly used to perform quality -assurance tasks related to CentOS corporate visual identity. - - The `tags/' directory (*note Filesystem tags::) organizes parallel -frozen lines to `branches/' directory. The parallel frozen lines are -immutable, nothing change inside them once they has been created. The -`tags/' directory is mainly used to publish final releases of CentOS -corporate visual identity. - - The CentOS Artwork Repository layout is firmly grounded on a -Subversion base. Subversion (`http://subversion.tigris.org') is a -version control system, which allows you to keep old versions of files -and directories (usually source code), keep a log of who, when, and why -changes occurred, etc., like CVS, RCS or SCCS. Subversion keeps a -single copy of the master sources. This copy is called the source -"repository"; it contains all the information to permit extracting -previous versions of those files at any time. - -2.70.2.2 Repository name convenctions -..................................... - -Repository name convenctions help us to maintain consistency of names -inside the repository. - - Repository name convenctions are applied to files and directories -inside the repository layout. As convenction, inside the repository -layout, file names are all written in lowercase (`01-welcome.png', -`splash.png', `anaconda_header.png', etc.) and directory names are all -written capitalized (e.g., `Identity', `Themes', `Motifs', `TreeFlower', -etc.). - - Repository name convenctions are implemented inside the -`cli_getRepoName' function of `centos-art.sh' script. With -`cli_getRepoName' function we reduce the amount of commands and -convenctions to remember, concentrating them in just one single place -to look for fixes and improvements. - -2.70.2.3 Repository work flow -............................. - -Repository work flow describes the steps and time intervals used to -produce CentOS corporate visual identity inside CentOS Artwork -Repository. - - To illustrate repository work flow let's consider themes' development -cycle. - - Initially, we start working themes on their trunk development line -(e.g., `trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/'), here we organize -information that cannot be produced automatically (i.e., background -images, concepts, color information, screenshots, etc.). - - Later, when theme trunk development line is considered "ready" for -implementation (e.g., all required backgrounds have been designed), we -create a branch for it (e.g., -`branches/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/1/'). Once the branch has -been created, we forget that branch and continue working the trunk -development line while others (e.g., an artwork quality assurance team) -test the new branch for tunning it up. - - Once the branch has been tunned up, and considered "ready" for -release, it is freezed under `tags/' directory (e.g., -`tags/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFower/1.0/') for packagers, -webmasters, promoters, and anyone who needs images from that CentOS -theme the tag was created for. - - Both branches and tags, inside CentOS Artwork Repository, use -numerical values to identify themselves under the same location. -Branches start at one (i.e., `1') and increment one unit for each -branch created from the same trunk development line. Tags start at -zero (i.e., `0') and increment one unit for each tag created from the -same branch development line. - - *Convenction* Do not freeze trunk development lines using tags - directly. If you think you need to freeze a trunk development - line, create a branch for it and then freeze that branch instead. - - The trunk development line may introduce problems we cannot see -immediatly. Certainly, the high changable nature of trunk development -line complicates finding and fixing such problems. On the other hand, -the branched development lines provide a more predictable area where -only fixes/corrections to current content are commited up to repository. - - If others find and fix bugs inside the branched development line, we -could merge such changes/experiences back to trunk development line -(not visversa) in order for future branches, created from trunk, to -benefit. - - Time intervals used to create branches and tags may vary, just as -different needs may arrive. For example, consider the release schema of -CentOS distribution: one major release every 2 years, security updates -every 6 months, support for 7 years long. Each time a CentOS -distribution is released, specially if it is a major release, there is -a theme need in order to cover CentOS distribution artwork -requirements. At this point, is where CentOS Artwork Repository comes -up to scene. - - Before releasing a new major release of CentOS distribution we create -a branch for one of several theme development lines available inside -the CentOS Artwork Repository, perform quality assurance on it, and -later, freeze that branch using tags. Once a the theme branch has been -frozen (under `tags/' directory), CentOS Packagers (the persons whom -build CentOS distribution) can use that frozen branch as source -location to fulfill CentOS distribution artwork needs. The same applies -to CentOS Webmasters (the persons whom build CentOS websites), and any -other visual manifestation required by the project. - -2.70.2.4 Parallel directories -............................. - -Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, parallel directories are simple -directory entries built from a common parent directory and placed in a -location different to that, the common parent directory is placed on. -Parallel directories are useful to create branches, tags, translations, -documentation, pre-rendering configuration script, and similar -directory structures. - - Parallel directories take their structure from one unique parent -directory. Inside CentOS Artwork Repository, this unique parent -directory is under `trunk/Identity' location. The `trunk/Identity' -location must be considered the reference for whatever information you -plan to create inside the repository. - - In some circumstances, parallel directories may be created removing -uncommon information from their paths. Uncommon path information refers -to those directory levels in the path which are not common for other -parallel directories. For example, when rendering -`trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Distro' directory structure, -the `centos-art.sh' script removes the `Motifs/TreeFlower/' directory -levels from path, in order to build the parallel directory used to -retrived translations, and pre-rendering configuration scripts required -by `render' functionality. - - Another example of parallel directory is the documentation structure -created by `manual' functionality. This time, `centos-art.sh' script -uses parallel directory information with uncommon directory levels to -build the documentation entry required by Texinfo documentation system, -inside the repository. - - Othertimes, parallel directories may add uncommon information to -their paths. This is the case we use to create branches and tags. When -we create branches and tags, a numerical identifier is added to parallel -directory structure path. The place where the numerical identifier is -set on is relevant to corporate visual identity structure and should be -carefully considered where it will be. - - When one parent directory changes, all their related parallel -directories need to be changed too. This is required in order for -parallel directories to retain their relation with the parent directory -structure. In the other hand, parallel directories should never be -modified under no reason but to satisfy the relation to their parent -directory structure. Liberal change of parallel directories may -suppresses the conceptual idea they were initially created for; and -certainly, things may stop working the way they should do. - -2.70.2.5 Syncronizing path information -...................................... - -Parallel directories are very useful to keep repository organized but -introduce some complications. For instance, consider what would happen -to functionalities like `manual' (`trunk Scripts Bash Functions -Manual') that rely on parent directory structures to create -documentation entries (using parallel directory structures) if one of -those parent directory structures suddenly changes after the -documentation entry has been already created for it? - - In such cases, functionalities like `manual' may confuse themselves -if path information is not updated to reflect the relation with its -parent directory. Such functionalities work with parent directory -structure as reference; if a parent directory changes, the -functionalities dont't even note it because they work with the last -parent directory structure available in the repository, no matter what -it is. - - In the specific case of documentation (the `manual' functionality), -the problem mentioned above provokes that older parent directories, -already documented, remain inside documentation directory structures as -long as you get your hands into the documentation directory structure -(`trunk/Manuals') and change what must be changed to match the new -parent directory structure. - - There is no immediate way for `manual', and similar functionalities -that use parent directories as reference, to know when and how -directory movements take place inside the repository. Such information -is available only when the file movement itself takes place inside the -repository. So, is there, at the moment of moving files, when we need -to syncronize parallel directories with their unique parent directory -structure. - - *Warning* There is not support for URL reference inside - `centos-art.sh' script. The `centos-art.sh' script is designed to - work with local files inside the working copy only. - - As CentOS Artwork Repository is built over a version control system, -file movements inside the repository are considered repository changes. -In order for these repository changes to be versioned, we need to, -firstly, add changes into the version control system, commit them, and -later, perform movement actions using version control system commands. -This configuration makes possible for everyone to know about changes -details inside the repository; and if needed, revert or update them -back to a previous revision. - - Finally, once all path information has been corrected, it is time to -take care of information inside the files. For instance, considere what -would happen if you make a reference to a documentation node, and later -the documentation node you refere to is deleted. That would make -Texinfo to produce error messages at export time. So, the -`centos-art.sh' script needs to know when such changes happen, in a way -they could be noted and handled without producing errors. - -2.70.2.6 What is the right place to store it? -............................................. - -Occasionly, you may find that new corporate visual identity components -need to be added to the repository. If that is your case, the first -question you need to ask yourself, before start to create directories -blindly all over, is: What is the right place to store it? - - The CentOS Community different free support vains (see: -`http://wiki.centos.org/GettingHelp') are the best place to find -answers to your question, but going there with hands empty is not good -idea. It may give the impression you don't really care about. Instead, -consider the following suggestions to find your own comprehension and -so, make your propositions based on it. - - When we are looking for the correct place to store new files, to bear -in mind the corporate visual identity structure used inside the CentOS -Artwork Repository (*note Filesystem trunk Identity::) would be probaly -the best advice we could offer, the rest is just matter of choosing -appropriate names. To illustrate this desition process let's consider -the `trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower' directory as example. It -is the trunk development line of _TreeFlower_ artistic motif. Artistic -motifs are considered part of themes, which in turn are considered part -of CentOS corporate visual identity. - - When building parent directory structures, you may find that reaching -an acceptable location may take some time, and as it uses to happen -most of time; once you've find it, that may be not a definite solution. -There are many concepts that you need to play with, in order to find a -result that match the conceptual idea you try to implement in the new -directory location. To know which these concepts are, split the -location in words and read its documentation entry from less specific -to more specific. - - For example, the `trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower' location -evolved through several months of contant work and there is no certain -it won't change in the future, even it fixes quite well the concept we -are trying to implement. The concepts used in -`trunk/Identity/Themes/Distro/Motifs/TreeFlower' location are described -in the following commands, respectively: - - -centos-art manual --read=turnk/ -centos-art manual --read=turnk/Identity/ -centos-art manual --read=turnk/Identity/Themes/ -centos-art manual --read=turnk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/ -centos-art manual --read=turnk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/ - - Other location concepts can be found similary as we did above, just -change the location we used above by the one you are trying to know -concepts for. - -2.70.3 Usage ------------- - -`centos-art path --copy='SRC' --to='DST'' - Copy `SRC' to `DST' and schedule `DST' for addition (with - history). In this command, `SRC' and `DST' are both working copy - (WC) entries. - -`centos-art path --delete='SRC'' - Delete `DST'. In order for this command to work the file or - directory you intend to delete should be under version control - first. In this command, `SRC' is a working copy (WC) entry. - - -2.70.4 See also ---------------- - -2.71 The `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Cli/Functions/Render' Directory -============================================================ - -The `render' functionality exists to produce both identity and -translation files on different levels of information (i.e., different -languages, release numbers, architectures, etc.). - - The `render' functionality relies on "renderable directory -structures" to produce files. Renderable directory structures can be -either "identity directory structures" or "translation directory -structures" with special directories inside. - -2.71.1 Renderable identity directory structures ------------------------------------------------ - -Renderable identity directory structures are the starting point of -identity rendition. Whenever we want to render a component of CentOS -corporate visual identity, we need to point `centos-art.sh' to a -renderable identity directory structure. If such renderable identity -directory structure doesn't exist, then it is good time to create it. - - Inside the working copy, one renderable identity directory structures -represents one visual manifestation of CentOS corporate visual -identity, or said differently, each visual manifestation of CentOS -corporate visual identity should have one renderable identity directory -structure. - - Inside renderable identity directory structures, `centos-art.sh' can -render both image-based and text-based files. Specification of whether -a renderable identity directory structure produces image-based or -text-based content is a configuration action that takes place in the -pre-rendition configuration script of that renderable identity -directory structure. - - Inside renderable identity directory structures, content production -is organized in different configurations. A content production -configuration is a unique combination of the components that make an -identity directory structure renderable. One content production -configuration does one thing only (e.g., to produce untranslated -images), but it can be extended (e.g., adding translation files) to -achieve different needs (e.g., to produce translated images). - -2.71.1.1 Design template without translation -............................................ - -The design template without translation configuration is based on a -renderable identity directory structure with an empty translation -directory structure. In this configuration, one design template -produces one untranslated file. Both design templates and final -untranslated files share the same file name, but they differ one -another in file-type and file-extension. - - For example, to produce images without translations (there is no much -use in producing text-based files without translations), consider the -following configuration: - -*One renderable identity directory structure:* - In this example we used `Identity/Path/To/Dir' as the identity - component we want to produce untranslated images for. Identity - components can be either under `trunk/' or `branches/' directory - structure. - - The identity component (i.e., `Identity/Path/To/Dir', in this - case) is also the bond component we use to connect the identity - directory structures with their respective auxiliar directories - (i.e., translation directory structres and pre-rendition - configuration structures). The bond component is the path - convenction that `centos-art.sh' uses to know where to look for - related translations, configuration scripts and whatever auxiliar - thing a renderable directory structure may need to have. - - - | The bond component - |----------------->| - trunk/Identity/Path/To/Dir <-- Renderable identity directory structure. - |-- Tpl <-- Design template directory. - | `-- file.svg <-- Design template file. - `-- Img <-- Directory used to store final files. - `-- file.png <-- Final image-based file produced from - design template file. - - Inside design template directory, design template files are based - on SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) and use the extension `.svg'. - Design template files can be organized using several directory - levels to create a simple but extensible configuration, specially - if translated images are not required. - - In order for SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) files to be considered - "design template" files, they should be placed under the design - template directory and to have set a `CENTOSARTWORK' object id - inside. - - The `CENTOSARTWORK' word itself is a convenction name we use to - define which object/design area, inside a design template, the - `centos-art.sh' script will use to export as PNG (Portable Network - Graphic) image at rendition time. Whithout such object id - specification, the `centos-art.sh' script cannot know what - object/design area you (as designer) want to export as PNG - (Portable Network Graphic) image file. - - *Note* At rendition time, the content of `Img/' directory - structure is produced by `centos-art.sh' automatically. - - When a renderable identity directory structure is configured to - produce image-based content, `centos-art.sh' produces PNG - (Portable Network Graphics) files with the `.png' extension. Once - the base image format has been produced, it is possible for - `centos-art.sh' to use it in order to automatically create other - image formats that may be needed (-- *Removed*(pxref:trunk Scripts - Bash Functions Render Config) --). - - Inside the working copy, you can find an example of "design - template without translation" configuration at - `trunk/Identity/Models/'. - - *Note Filesystem trunk Identity::, for more information. - -*One translation directory structure:* - In order for an identity entry to be considered an identity - renderable directory structure, it should have a translation - entry. The content of the translation entry is relevant to - determine how to process the identity renderable directory entry. - - If the translation entry is empty (i.e., there is no file inside - it), `centos-art.sh' interprets the identity renderable directory - structure as a "design templates without translation" - configuration. - - - | The bond component - |----------------->| - trunk/Translations/Identity/Path/To/Dir - `-- (empty) - - If the translation entry is not empty, `centos-art.sh' can - interpret the identity renderable directory structure as one of the - following configurations: "design template with translation - (one-to-one)" or "design template with translation (optimized)". - Which one of these configurations is used depends on the value - assigned to the matching list (MATCHINGLIST) variable in the - pre-rendition configuration script of the renderable identity - directory structure we are producing images for. - - If the matching list variable is empty (as it is by default), then - "design template with translation (one-to-one)" configuration is - used. In this configuration it is required that both design - templates and translation files have the same file names. This - way, _one_ translation files is applied to _one_ design template, - to produce _one_ translated image. - - If the matching list variable is not empty (because you redefine - it in the pre-rendition configuration script), then "design - template with translation (optimized)" configuration is used - instead. In this configuration, design templates and translation - files don't need to have the same names since such name - relationship between them is specified in the matching list - properly. - - -- *Removed*(xref:trunk Translations) --, for more information. - -*One pre-rendition configuration script:* - In order to make an identity directory structure renderable, a - pre-rendition configuration script should exist for it.

Otherwise, if there is a missing -design template or a missing translation file, `centos-art.sh' will not -produce the final image related to the missing component. - - In order for `centos-art.sh' to know which is the relation between -translation files and design templates the translation directory -structure is taken as reference. For example, the -`trunk/Translations/Identity/Path/To/Dir/file.sed' translation file -does match `trunk/Identity/Path/To/Dir/Tpl/file.svg' design template, -but it doesn't match `trunk/Identity/Path/To/Dir/File.svg' or -`trunk/Identity/Path/To/Dir/Tpl/File.svg' or -`trunk/Identity/Path/To/Dir/Tpl/SubDir/file.svg' design templates. - - The pre-rendition configuration script used to produce untranslated -images is the same we use to produce translated images. There is no -need to modify it. So, as we are using the same pre-rendition -configuration script, we can say that translated image production is -somehow an extended/improved version of untranslated image production. - - *Note* If we use no translation file in the translation entry - (i.e., an empty directory), `centos-art.sh' assumes the - untranslated image production. If we fill the translation entry - with translation files, `centos-art.sh' assumes the translated - image production. - - To produce final images, `centos-art.sh' applies one translation -file to one design template and produce a translated design template -instance. Later, `centos-art.sh' uses the translated template instance -to produce the translated image. Finally, when the translated image has -been produced, `centos-art.sh' removes the translated design template -instance.

In order to produce -translated images as in the "one-to-one" configuration describes -previously, it is required that one translation file has one design -template. That's useful in many cases, but what would happen if we need -to apply many different translation files to the same design template? -Should we have to duplicate the same design template file for each -translation file, in order to satisfy the "one-to-one" relation? What -if we need to assign translation files to design templates arbitrarily? - - Certenly, that's something the "one-to-one" configuration cannot -handle. So, that's why we had to "optimize" it. The optimized -configuration consists on using a matching list (MATCHINGLIST) variable -that specifies the relationship between translation files and design -templates in an arbitrary way. Using such matching list between -translation files and design templates let us use as many assignment -combinations as translation files and design templates we are working -with. - - The MATCHINGLIST variable is set in the pre-rendition configuration -script of the component we want to produce images for. By default, the -MATCHINGLIST variable is empty which means no matching list is used. -Otherwise, if MATCHINGLIST variable has a value different to empty -value then, `centos-art.sh' interprets the matching list in order to -know how translation files are applied to design templates. - - For example, consider the following configuration: - -*One entry under `trunk/Identity/':* - In this configuration we want to produce three images using a - paragraph-based style, controlled by `paragraph.svg' design - template; and one image using a list-based style, controlled by - `list.svg' design template. - - - trunk/Identity/Path/To/Dir - |-- Tpl - | |-- paragraph.svg - | `-- list.svg - `-- Img - |-- 01-welcome.png - |-- 02-donate.png - |-- 03-docs.png - `-- 04-support.png - -*One entry under `trunk/Translations/':* - In order to produce translated images we need to have one - translation file for each translated image we want to produce. - Notice how translation names do match final image file names, but - how translation names do not match design template names. When we - use matching list there is no need for translation files to match - the names of design templates, such name relation is set inside - the matching list itself. - - - trunk/Translations/Identity/Path/To/Dir - |-- 01-welcome.sed - |-- 02-donate.sed - |-- 03-docs.sed - `-- 04-support.sed - -*One entry under `trunk/trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Render/Config/':* - In order to produce different translated images using specific - design templates, we need to specify the relation between - translation files and design templates in a way that - `centos-art.sh' could know exactly what translation file to apply - to what design template. This relation between translation files - and design templates is set using the matching list MATCHINGLIST - variable inside the pre-rendition configuration script of the - component we want to produce images for. - - - trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Render/Config/Identity/Path/To/Dir - `-- render.conf.sh - - In this configuration the pre-rendition configuration script - (`render.conf.sh') would look like the following: - - - function render_loadConfig { - - # Define rendition actions. - ACTIONS[0]='BASE:renderImage' - - # Define matching list. - MATCHINGLIST="\ - paragraph.svg:\ - 01-welcome.sed\ - 02-donate.sed\ - 04-support.sed - list.svg:\ - 03-docs.sed - " - - } - - As result, `centos-art.sh' will produce `01-welcome.png', - `02-donate.png' and `04-support.png' using the paragraph-based - design template, but `03-docs.png' using the list-based design - template. - -2.71.1.4 Design template with translation (optimized+flexibility) -................................................................. - -In the production models we've seen so far, there are design templates -to produce untranslated images and translation files which combiend -with design templates produce translated images. That may seems like -all our needs are covered, doesn't it? Well, it _almost_ does. - - Generally, we use design templates to define how final images will -look like. Generally, each renderable directory structure has one -`Tpl/' directory where we organize design templates for that identity -component. So, we can say that there is only one unique design template -definition for each identity component; or what is the same, said -differently, identity components can be produced in one way only, the -way its own design template directory specifies. This is not enough -for theme production. It is a limitation, indeed. - - Initially, to create one theme, we created one renderable directory -structure for each theme component. When we found ourselves with many -themes, and components inside them, it was obvious that the same design -model was duplicated inside each theme. As design models were -independently one another, if we changed one theme's design model, that -change was useless to other themes. So, in order to reuse design model -changes, we unified design models into one common directory structure. - - With design models unified in a common structure, another problem -rose up. As design models also had the visual style of theme components, -there was no difference between themes, so there was no apparent need -to have an independent theme directory structure for each different -theme. So, it was also needed to separate visual styles from design -models. - - At this point there are two independent worklines: one directory -structure to store design models (the final image characteristics -[i.e., dimensions, translation markers, etc.]) and one directory -structure to store visual styles (the final image visual style [i.e., -the image look and feel]). So, it is possible to handle both different -design models and different visual styles independtly one another and -later create combinations among them using `centos-art.sh'. - - For example, consider the following configuration: - -*One entry under `trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/':* - The design model entry exists to organize design model files - (similar to design templates). Both design models and design - templates are very similar; they both should have the - `CENTOSARTWORK' export id present to identify the exportation - area, translation marks, etc. However, design models do use - dynamic backgrounds inclusion while design templates don't. - - - THEMEMODEL | | The bond component - |<----| |--------------------->| - trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/Default/Distro/Anaconda/Progress/ - |-- paragraph.svg - `-- list.svg - - Inisde design models, dynamic backgrounds are required in order for - different artistic motifs to reuse common design models. Firstly, - in order to create dynamic backgrounds inside design models, we - import a bitmap to cover design model's background and later, - update design model's path information to replace fixed values to - dynamic values. - -*One entry under `trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/':* - The artistic motif entry defines the visual style we want to - produce images for, only. Final images (i.e., those built from - combining both design models and artistic motif backrounds) are - not stored here, but under branches directory structure. In the - artistic motif entry, we only define those images that cannot be - produced automatically by `centos-art.sh' (e.g., Backgrounds, - Color information, Screenshots, etc.). - - - Artistic motif name | | Artistic motif backgrounds - |<-------| |-------->| - trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/TreeFlower/Backgrounds/ - |-- Img - | |-- Png - | | |-- 510x300.png - | | `-- 510x300-final.png - | `-- Jpg - | |-- 510x300.jpg - | `-- 510x300-final.jpg - |-- Tpl - | `-- 510x300.svg - `-- Xcf - `-- 510x300.xcf - -*One entry under `trunk/Translations/':* - The translation entry specifies, by means of translation files, the - language-specific information we want to produce image for.

There is one translation directory -structure for each renderable identity directory structure. Inside -translation directory structures we organize translation files used by -renderable identity directory structures that produce translated -images. Renderable identity directory structures that produce -untranslated images don't use translation files, but they do use a -translation directory structure, an empty translation directory -structure, to be precise. - - In order to aliviate production of translation file, we made -translation directory structures renderable adding a template (`Tpl/') -directory structure to handle common content inside translation files. -This way, we work on translation templates and later use -`centos-art.sh' to produce specific translation files (based on -translation templates) for different information (e.g., languages, -release numbers, architectures, etc.). - - If for some reason, translation files get far from translation -templates and translation templates become incovenient to produce such -translation files then, care should be taken to avoid replacing the -content of translation files with the content of translation templates -when `centos-art.sh' is executed to produce translation files from -translation templates. - - Inside renderable translation directory structures, `centos-art.sh' -can produce text-based files only. - -2.71.3 Copying renderable directory structures ----------------------------------------------- - -A renderable layout is formed by design models, design images, -pre-rendition configuration scripts and translations files. This way, -when we say to duplicate rendition stuff we are saying to duplicate -these four directory structures (i.e., design models, design images, -pre-rendition configuration scripts, and related translations files). - - When we duplicate directories, inside `trunk/Identity' directory -structure, we need to be aware of renderable layout described above and -the source location used to perform the duplication action. The source -location is relevant to centos-art.sh script in order to determine the -required auxiliar information inside directory structures that need to -be copied too (otherwise we may end up with orphan directory structures -unable to be rendered, due the absence of required information). - - In order for a renderable directory structure to be valid, the new -directory structure copied should match the following conditions: - - 1. To have a unique directory structure under `trunk/Identity', - organized by any one of the above organizational designs above. - - 2. To have a unique directory structure under `trunk/Translations' to - store translation files. - - 3. To have a unique directory structure under - `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Functions/Render/Config' to set pre-rendition - configuration script. - - As convenction, the `render_doCopy' function uses `trunk/Identity' -directory structure as source location.

This is intentional. In "Renderable layout 2", design models -live by their own, they just exist, they are there, available for any -artistic motif to use. By default `Themes/Models/Default' design model -directory structure is used, but other design models directory -structures (under Themes/Models/) can be created and used changing the -value of THEMEMODEL variable inside the pre-rendition configuration -script of the artistic motif source location you want to produce. - - Notice how translations and pre-rendition configuration scripts may -both be equal in source and target. This is because such structures are -common to all artistic motifs (the default values to use when no -specific values are provided). - - - The common directory structures are not copied or deleted. We -cannot copy a directory structure to itself. - - - The common directory structures represent the default value to use - when no specific translations and/or pre-rendition configuration -script are provided inside source location. - - - The specific directory structures, if present, are both copiable -and removable. This is, when you perform a copy or delete action from - source, that source specific auxiliar directories are transfered in -the copy action to a new location (that specified by FLAG_TO -variable). - - - When translations and/or pre-rendition configuration scripts are -found inside the source directory structure, the centos-art.sh script -loads common auxiliar directories first and later specific auxiliar -directories. This way, identity rendition of source locations can be -customized idividually over the base of common default values. - - - The specific auxiliar directories are optional. - - - The common auxiliar directories should be present always. This is, - in order to provide the information required by render functionality -(i.e., to make it functional in the more basic level of its -existence). - - Notice how the duplication process is done from `trunk/Identity' on, -not the oposite. If you try to duplicate a translation structure (or -similar auxiliar directory structures like pre-rendition configuration -scripts), the `trunk/Identity' for that translation is not created. -This limitation is impossed by the fact that many `trunk/Identity' -directory structures may reuse/share the same translation directory -structure. We cannot delete one translation (or similar) directory -structures while a related `trunk/Identity/' directory structure is -still in need of it. - - The `render_doCopy' functionality does duplicate directory structures -directly involved in rendition process only.

Translation pre-rendering actions -are useful when default translation rendering action do not fit itself -to translation entry rendering requirements. - -2.72.2.3 The `render.conf.sh' rendering actions -............................................... - -Inside both image-based and text-based identity pre-rendering -configuration scripts, we use the `ACTIONS' array variable to define -the way `centos-art.sh' script performs identity rendering. Identity -rendering is organized by one `BASE' action, and optional `POST' and -`LAST' rendering actions. - - The `BASE' action specifies what kind of rendering does the -`centos-art.sh' script will perform with the files related to the -pre-rendering configuration script. The `BASE' action is required. -Possible values to `BASE' action are either `renderImage' or -`renderText' only. - - To specify the `BASE' action you need to set the `BASE:' string -followed by one of the possible values. For example, if you want to -render images, consider the following definition of `BASE' action: - - -ACTIONS[0]='BASE:renderImage' - - Only one `BASE' action must be specified. If more than one `BASE' -action is specified, the last one is used. If no `BASE' action is -specified at all, an error is triggered and the `centos-art.sh' script -ends its execution. - - The `POST' action specifies which action to apply for each file -rendered (at the rendering time). This action is optional. You can set -many different `POST' actions to apply many different actions over the -same already rendered file. Possible values to `POST' action are -`renderFormats', `renderSyslinux', `renderGrub', etc. - - To specify the `POST' action, you need to use set the `POST:' -followed by the function name of the action you want to perform. The -exact form depends on your needs. For example, consider the following -example to produce `xpm', `jpg', and `tif' images, based on already -rendered `png' image, and also organize the produced files in -directories named as their own extensions: - - -ACTIONS[0]='BASE:renderImage' -ACTIONS[1]='POST:renderFormats: xpm jpg tif' -ACTIONS[2]='POST:groupByFormat: png xpm jpg tif' - - In the previous example, file organization takes place at the moment -of rendering, just after producing the `png' base file and before going -to the next file in the list of files to render. If you don't want to -organized the produced files in directories named as their own -extensions, just remove the `POST:groupByFormat' action line: - - -ACTIONS[0]='BASE:renderImage' -ACTIONS[1]='POST:renderFormats: xpm jpg tif' - - The `LAST' action specifies which actions to apply once the last -file in the list of files to process has been rendered. The `LAST' -action is optional. Possible values for `LAST' actions may be -`groupByFormat', `renderGdmTgz', etc. - - *Note* -- *Removed*(xref:trunk Scripts Bash Functions Render) --, - to know more about possible values for `BASE', `POST' and `LAST' - action definitions. - - To specify the `LAST' action, you need to set the `LAST:' string -followed by the function name of the action you want to perform. For -example, consider the following example if you want to render all files -first and organize them later: - - -ACTIONS[0]='BASE:renderImage' -ACTIONS[1]='POST:renderFormats: xpm jpg tif' -ACTIONS[2]='LAST:groupByformat: png xpm jpg tif' - -2.72.3 Usage ------------- - -Use the following commands to administer both identity and translation -pre-rendering configuration scripts: - -`centos-art config --create='path/to/dir/'' - Use this command to create `path/to/dir' related pre-rendering - configuration script. - -`centos-art config --edit='path/to/dir/'' - Use this command to edit `path/to/dir' related pre-rendering - configuration script. - -`centos-art config --read='path/to/dir/'' - Use this command to read `path/to/dir' related pre-rendering - configuration script. - -`centos-art config --remove='path/to/dir/'' - Use this command to remove `path/to/dir' related pre-rendering - configuration script. - - - In the commands above, `path/to/dir' refers to one renderable -directory path under `trunk/Identity' or `trunk/Translations' -structures only. - -2.72.4 See also ---------------- - -2.73 The `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Cli/Functions/Shell' Directory -=========================================================== - -2.73.1 Goals ------------- - -This section exists to organize files related to `shell' functionality -of `centos-art.sh' script. - -2.73.2 Description ------------------- - -The `shell' functionality of `centos-art.sh' script helps you to -maintain bash scripts inside repository. For example, suppose you've -created many functionalities for `centos-art.sh' script, and you want -to use a common copyright and license note for consistency in all your -script files. If you have a bunch of files, doing this one by one -wouldn't be a big deal. In contrast, if the amount of files grows, -updating the copyright and license note for all of them would be a task -rather tedious. The `shell' functionality exists to solve maintainance -tasks just as the one previously mentioned. - - When you use `shell' functionality to update copyright inside script -files, it is required that your script files contain (at least) the -following top commentary structure: - - - 1| #!/bin/bash - 2| # - 3| # doSomething.sh -- The function description goes here. - 4| # - 5| # Copyright - 6| # - 7| # ... - 8| # - 9| # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -10| # $Id$ -11| # ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -12| -13| function doSomething { -14| -15| } - -Figure 2.4: The functions script base comment structure - - Relevant lines in the above structure are lines from 5 to 9. -Everything else in the file is left immutable. - - When you are updating copyright through `shell' functionality, the -`centos-art.sh' script replaces everything in-between line 5 --the -first one matching `^# Copyright .+$' string-- and line 9--the first -long dash separator matching `^# -+$'-- with the content of copyright -template instance. - - *Caution* Be sure to add the long dash separator that matches `^# - -+$' regular expression _before_ the function definition. - Otherwise, if the `Copyright' line is present but no long dash - separator exists, `centos-art.sh' will remove anything in-between - the `Copyright' line and the end of file. This way you may lost - your function definitions entirely. - - The copyright template instance is created from one copyright -template stored in the `Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed' file. The template -instance is created once, and later removed when no longer needed. At -this moment, when template instance is created, the `centos-art.sh' -script takes advantage of automation in order to set copyright full -name and date dynamically. - - When you use `shell' functionality to update copyright, the first -thing `shell' functionality does is requesting copyright information to -user, and later, if values were left empty (i.e., no value was typed -before pressing key), the `shell' functionality uses its own -default values. - - When `shell' functionality uses its own default values, the final -copyright note looks like the following: - - - 1| #!/bin/bash - 2| # - 3| # doSomthing.sh -- The function description goes here. - 4| # - 5| # Copyright (C) 2003, 2010 The CentOS Project - 6| # - 7| # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify - 8| # it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by - 9| # the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or -10| # (at your option) any later version. -11| # -12| # This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but -13| # WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of -14| # MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Pay -attention how the copyright line was built, and how the license was -added into the top comment where previously was just three dots. -Everything else in the file was left immutable. - - To change copyright information (i.e., full name or year -information), run the `shell' functionality over the root directory -containing the script files you want to update copyright in and enter -the appropriate information when it be requested. You can run the -`shell' functionality as many times as you need to. - - To change copyright license (i.e., the text in-between lines 7 and -20), you need to edit the `Config/tpl_forCopyright.sed' file, set the -appropriate information, and run the `shell' functionality once again -for changes to take effect over the files you specify. - - *Important* The `centos-art.sh' script is released as: - - - GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - Version 2, June 1991 - - Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. - 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. - - Do not change the license information under which `centos-art.sh' - script is released. Instead, if you think a different license must - be used, please share your reasons at CentOS Developers mailing - list . - -2.73.3 Usage ------------- - -`centos-art sh --update-copyright='path/to/dir'' -`centos-art sh --update-copyright='path/to/dir' --filter='regex'' - Use these commands to update copyright information in `.sh' files - under `path/to/dir' directory. - - When you provide `--filter='regex'' argument, the list of files to -process is reduced as specified in `regex' regular expression. Inside -`centos-art.sh' script, the `regex' regular expression is used in -combination with `find' command to look for files matching the regular -expression path pattern. - - *Warning* In order for `regex' regular expression to match a file, - the `regex' regular expresion must match the whole file path not - just the file name. - - For example, if you want to match all `render.conf.sh' files inside -`path/to/dir', use the `.+/render.conf' regular expression. Later, -`centos-art.sh' script uses this value inside `^$REGEX\.sh$' expression -in order to build the final regular expression (i.e., -`^.+/render.conf\.sh$') that is evaluated against available file paths -inside the list of files to process. - - Exceptionally, when you provide `--filter='regex'' in the way that -`regex', appended to `path/to/dir/' (i.e. `path/to/dir/regex'), -matches a regular file; the `centos-art.sh' script uses the file -matching as only file in the list of files to process. - -2.73.4 See also ---------------- - -2.74 The `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Cli/Functions/Svg' Directory -========================================================= - -2.74.1 Goals ------------- - -This section exists to organize files related to `svg' functionality of -`centos-art.sh' script. - -2.74.2 Description ------------------- - -The `svg' functionality of `centos-art.sh' script helps you to maintain -scalable vector graphics (SVG) inside repository. For example, suppose -you've been working in CentOS default design models under -`trunk/Identity/Themes/Models/', and you want to set common metadata to -all of them, and later remove all unused SVG defintions from `*.svg' -files. Doing so file by file may be a tedious task, so the -`centos-art.sh' script provides the `svg' functionality to aid you -maintain such actions. - -2.74.2.1 Metadata maintainance -.............................. - -The metadata used is defined by Inkscape 0.46 using the SVG standard -markup. The `centos-art.sh' script replaces everything in-between -`' tags with a predefined metadata template -we've set for this purpose. - - The metadata template was created using the metadata information of a -file which, using Inkscape 0.46, all metadata fields were set. This -created a complete markup representation of how SVG metadata would look -like. Later, we replaced every single static value with a translation -marker in the form `=SOMETEXT=', where `SOMETEXT' is the name of its -main opening tag. Later, we transform the metadata template into a sed -replacement set of commads escaping new lines at the end of each line. - - With metadata template in place, the `centos-art.sh' script uses it -to create a metadata template instance for the file being processed -currently. The metadata template instance contains the metadata -portion of sed replacement commands with translation markers already -traduced. In this action, instance creation, is where we take -advantage of automation and generate metadata values like title, date, -keywords, source, identifier, and relation dynamically, based on the -file path `centos-art.sh' script is currently creating metadata -information for. - - With metadata template instance in place, the `centos-art.sh' script -uses it to replace real values inside all `.svg' files under the -current location you're running the `centos-art.sh' script on. Default -behaviour is to ask user to enter each metadatum required, one by one. -If user leaves metadatum empty, by pressing key, `centos-art.sh' -uses its default value. - - The `centos-art.sh' script modifies the following metadata: - -`Title' - Name by which this document is formally known. If no value is set - here, `centos-art.sh' script uses the file name as title. - -`Date' - Date associated with the creation of this document (YYYY-MM-DD). - If no value is set here, `centos-art.sh' script uses the current - date information as in `date +%Y-%m-%d'. - -`Creator' - Name of entity primarily responsible for making the content of this - document. If no value is set here, `centos-art.sh' script uses the - string `The CentOS Project'. - -`Rights' - Name of entity with rights to the intellectual Property of this - document. If no value is set here, `centos-art.sh' script uses the - string `The CentOS Project'. - -`Publisher' - Name of entity responsible for making this document available. If - no value is set here, `centos-art.sh' script uses the string `The - CentOS Project'. - -`Identifier' - Unique URI to reference this document. If no value is set here, - `centos-art.sh' script uses the current file path to build the - related url that points to current file location inside repository - central server. - -`Source' - Unique URI to reference the source of this document. If no value is - set here, `centos-art.sh' script uses current file path to build - the related url that points to current file location inside - repository central server. - -`Relation' - Unique URI to a related document. If no value is set here, - `centos-art.sh' script uses current file path to build the related - url that points to current file location inside repository central - server. - -`Language' - Two-letter language tag with optional subtags for the language of - this document. (e.g. `en-GB'). If no value is set here, - `centos-art.sh' script uses the current locale information as in - `cli_getCurrentLocale' function. - -`Keywords' - The topic of this document as comma-separated key words, prhases, - or classifications. If no value is set here, `centos-art.sh' script - uses file path to build - -`Coverage' - Extent or scope of this document. If no value is set here, - `centos-art.sh' script uses the string `The CentOS Project'. - -`Description' - Description about the document. If no value is set here, - `centos-art.sh' script uses uses empty value as default. - -`Contributors' - People that contributes in the creation/maintainance of the - document. If no value is set here, `centos-art.sh' script uses - uses empty value as default. - - The `License' metadatum is not set as a choise, by now. It is fixed -Creative Common Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 License -(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/). This is done in order -to grant license consistency among all SVG files we manage inside CentOS -Artwork Repository. - -2.74.2.2 Unused definitions -........................... - -Many of the no-longer-used gradients, patterns, and markers (more -precisely, those which you edited manually) remain in the corresponding -palettes and can be reused for new objects. However if you want to -optimize your document, use the `Vacuum Defs' command in `File' menu. -It will remove any gradients, patterns, or markers which are not used -by anything in the document, making the file smaller. - - If you have one or two couple of files, removing unused definitions -using the graphical interface may be enough to you. In contrast, if -you have dozens or even houndreds of scalable vector graphics files to -maintain it is not a fun task to use the graphical interface to remove -unused definitions editing those files one by one. - - To remove unused definitions from several scalable vector graphics -files, the `centos-art.sh' script uses Inkscape command-line interface, -specifically with the `--vaccum-defs' option. - -2.74.3 Usage ------------- - -`centos-art svg --update-metadata='path/to/dir'' - -`centos-art svg --update-metadata='path/to/dir' --filter='regex'' - Use these commands to update metadata information to `.svg' files - under `path/to/dir' directory. - -`centos-art svg --vacuum-defs='path/to/dir'' - -`centos-art svg --vacuum-defs='path/to/dir' --filter='regex'' - Use these commands to remove unused definitions inside `.svg' - files under `path/to/dir' directory. - - When you provide `--filter='regex'' argument, the list of files to -process is reduced as specified in `regex' regular expression. Inside -`centos-art.sh' script, the `regex' regular expression is used in -combination with `find' command to look for files matching the regular -expression path pattern. - - *Warning* In order for `regex' regular expression to match a file, - the `regex' regular expresion must match the whole file path not - just the file name. - - For example, if you want to match all `summary.svg' files inside -`path/to/dir', use the `.+/summary' regular expression. Later, -`centos-art.sh' script uses this value inside `^$REGEX\.svg$' -expression in order to build the final regular expression (i.e., -`^.+/summary\.svg$') that is evaluated against available file paths -inside the list of files to process. - - Exceptionally, when you provide `--filter='regex'' in the way that -`regex', appended to `path/to/dir/' (i.e. `path/to/dir/regex'), -matches a regular file; the `centos-art.sh' script uses the file -matching as only file in the list of files to process. - -2.74.4 See also ---------------- - -2.75 The `trunk/Scripts/Bash/Cli/Functions/Verify' Directory -============================================================ - -2.75.1 Goals ------------- - -This section exists to organize files related to `centos-art.sh' script -`verify' functionality. The `verify' functionality of `centos-art.sh' -script helps you to verify the workstation configuration you are -planning to use as host for your working copy of CentOS Artwork -Repository. - -2.75.2 Description ------------------- - -The first time you download CentOS Artwork Repository you need to -configure your workstation in order to use `centos-art.sh' script. -These preliminar configurations are based mainly on auxiliar RPM -packages installation, symbolic links creations, and environment -variables definitions. The `verify' functionality of `centos-art.sh' -script guides you through this preliminar configuration process. - - If this is the first time you run `centos-art.sh' script, the -appropriate way to use its `verify' functionality is not using the -`centos-art.sh' script directly, but the absolute path to -`centos-art.sh' script instead (i.e., -`~/artwork/trunk/Scripts/Bash/centos-art.sh'). This is necessary -because `centos-art' symbolic link, under `~/bin/' directory, has not -been created yet. - -2.75.2.1 Packages -................. - -Installation of auxiliar RPM packages provides the software required to -manipulate files inside the repository (e.g., image files, -documentation files, translation files, script files, etc.). Most of -RPM packages `centos-art.sh' script uses are shipped with CentOS -distribution, and can be installed from CentOS base repository. The -only exception is `inkscape', the package we use to manipulate SVG -files. The `inkscape' package is not inside CentOS distribution so it -needs to be installed from third party repositories. - - *Note* Configuration of third party repositories inside CentOS - distribution is described in CentOS wiki, specifically in the - following URL: - `http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories' - - Before installing packages, the `centos-art.sh' script uses `sudo' -to request root privileges to execute `yum' installation functionality. -If your user isn't defined as a privileged user--at least to run `yum' -commands-- inside `/etc/sudoers' configuration file, you will not be -able to perform package installation tasks as set in `centos-art.sh' -script `verify' functionality. - - Setting sudo privileges to users is an administrative task you have -to do by yourself. If you don't have experience with `sudo' command, -please read its man page running the command: `man sudo'. This reading -will be very useful, and with some practice, you will be able to -configure your users to have `sudo' privileges. - -2.75.2.2 Links -.............. - -Creation of symbolic links helps us to alternate between different -implementations of `centos-art.sh' script-line (e.g., `centos-art.sh', -for Bash implementation; `centos-art.py', for Python implementation; -`centos-art.pl', for Perl implementation; and so on for other -implementations). The `centos-art.sh' script-line definition takes -place inside your personal binary (`~/bin/') directory in order to make -the script implementation --the one that `centos-art' links to-- -available to PATH environment variable. - - Creation of symbolic links helps us to reuse components from -repository working copy. For example, color information files -maintained inside your working copy must never be duplicated inside -program-specific configuration directories that uses them in your -workstation (e.g., Gimp, Inkscape, etc.). Instead, a symbolic link -must be created for each one of them, from program-specific -configuration directories to files in the working copy. In this -configuration, when someone commits changes to color information files -up to central repository, they--the changes committed-- will be -immediatly available to your programs the next time you update your -working copy --the place inside your workstation those color -information files are stored--. - - Creation of symbolic links helps us to make `centos-art.sh' script -functionalities available outside `trunk/' repository directory -structure, but at its same level in repository tree. This is useful if -you need to use the "render" functionality of `centos-art.sh' under -`branches/' repository directory structure as you usually do inside -`trunk/' repository directory structure. As consequence of this -configuration, automation scripts cannot be branched under -`branches/Scripts' directory structure. - -2.75.2.3 Environment variables -.............................. - -Definition of environemnt variables helps us to set default values to -our user session life. The user session environment variable defintion -takes place in the user's `~/.bash_profile' file. The `verify' -functionality of `centos-art.sh' script doesn't modify your -`~/.bash_profile' file. - - The `verify' functionality of `centos-art.sh' script evaluates the -following environment variables: - -`EDITOR' - Default text editor. - - The `centos-art.sh' script uses default text `EDITOR' to edit - pre-commit subversion messages, translation files, configuration - files, script files, and similar text-based files. - - If `EDITOR' environment variable is not set, `centos-art.sh' - script uses `/usr/bin/vim' as default text editor. Otherwise, the - following values are recognized by `centos-art.sh' script: - - * `/usr/bin/vim' - - * `/usr/bin/emacs' - - * `/usr/bin/nano' - - If no one of these values is set in `EDITOR' environment variable, - `centos-art.sh' uses `/usr/bin/vim' text editor by default. - -`TEXTDOMAIN' - Default domain used to retrieve translated messages. This - variable is set in `initFunctions.sh' and shouldn't be changed. - -`TEXTDOMAINDIR' - Default directory used to retrieve translated messages. This - variable is set in `initFunctions.sh' and shouldn't be changed. - -`LANG' - Default locale information. - - This variable is initially set in the configuration process of - CentOS distribution installer (i.e., Anaconda), specifically in the - `Language' step; or once installed using the - `system-config-language' tool. - - The `centos-art.sh' script uses the LANG environment variable to - know in which language the script messages are printed out. - -`TZ' - Default time zone representation. - - This variable is initially set in the configuration process of - CentOS distribution installer (i.e., Anaconda), specifically in the - `Date and time' step; or once installed using the - `system-config-date' tool. - - The `centos-art.sh' script doesn't use the TZ environment variable - information at all. Instead, this variable is used by the system - shell to show the time information according to your phisical - location on planet Earth. - - Inside your computer, the time information is firstly set in the - BIOS clock (which may need correction), and later in the - configuration process of CentOS distribution installer (or later, - by any of the related configuration tools inside CentOS - distribution). Generally, setting time information is a - straight-forward task and configuration tools available do cover - most relevant location. However, if you need a time precision not - provided by the configuration tools available inside CentOS - distribution then, using TZ variable may be necessary. - - *Convenction* In order to keep changes syncronized between - central repository and its working copies: configure both - repository server and workstations (i.e., the place where - each working copy is set on) to use Coordinated Universal - Time (UTC) as base time representation. Later, correct the - time information for your specific location using time zone - correction. - - The format of TZ environment variable is described in `tzset(3)' - manual page. - - -2.75.3 Usage ------------- - -`centos-art verify --packages' - Verify required packages your workstation needs in order to run the - `centos-art.sh' script correctly. If there are missing packages, - the `centos-art.sh' script asks you to confirm their installation. - When installing packages, the `centos-art.sh' script uses the - `yum' application in order to achieve the task. - - In case all packages required by `centos-art.sh' script are - already installed in your workstation, the message `The required - packages are already installed.' is output for you to know. - -`centos-art verify --links' - Verify required links your workstation needs in order to run the - centos-art command correctly. If any required link is missing, the - `centos-art.sh' script asks you to confirm their installation. To - install required links, the `centos-art.sh' script uses the `ln' - command. - - In case all links required by `centos-art.sh' script are already - created in your workstation, the message `The required links are - already installed.' is output for you to know. - - In case a regular file exists with the same name of a required - link, the `centos-art.sh' script outputs the `Already exists as - regular file.' message when listing required links that will be - installed. Of course, as there is already a regular file where - must be a link, no link is created. In such cases the - `centos-art.sh' script will fall into a continue installation - request for that missing link. To end this continue request you - can answer `No', or remove the existent regular file to let - `centos-art.sh' script install the link on its place. - -`centos-art verify --environment' -`centos-art verify --environment --filter='regex'' - Output a brief description of environment variables used by - `centos-art.sh' script. - - If `--filter' option is provided, output is reduced as defined in - the `regex' regular expression value. If `--filter' option is - specified but `regex' value is not, the `centos-art.sh' script - outputs information as if `--filter' option had not been provided - at all. - - -2.75.4 See also ---------------- - -2.76 The `trunk/Scripts/Python' Directory -========================================= - -2.76.1 Goals ------------- - - * ... - -2.76.2 Description ------------------- - - * ... - -2.76.3 Usage ------------- - - * ... - -2.76.4 See also ---------------- - -Index -***** - -Document convenctions: See 1.1.
