Syncronizing Paths Once both master and auxiliar paths have been set in the repository, they shouldn't be changed. However, assuming you need to change them, it is required that you also change the relation between them, in order for both master and auxiliar paths to retain their relation one another. This process of keeping relation between master and auxiliar paths updated is known as path syncronization. Path syncronization is required for automation scripts to know where to store final output, where to retrive translation, and any information that might be desired. If the relation between master paths and auxiliar paths is lost, there is no way for centos-art.sh script to know where to retrive the information it needs to work with. Path syncronization is the way we use to organize and extend the information stored in the repository. Path syncronization involves both movement of files and replacement of content inside files. Movement of files is related to actions like renaming files and directories inside the repository. Replacement of content inside files is related to actions like replacing information (e.g., paths information) inside files in order to keep file contents and file locations consistent one another after the movement. The order followed to syncronize path information is very important because the versioned nature of the files we are working with. When a renaming action is performed, we avoid making replacements inside files first and file movements later. This would require two commit actions: one for the files' internal changes and another for the file movement itself. Otherwise, we prefer to perform file movements first and file internal replacements later. This way it is possible to commit both changes as if they were just one. There is no support for URLs actions inside centos-art.sh script. The centos-art.sh script is designed to work with local files inside the working copy only. If you need to perform URL actions directly, use Subversion commands instead. At this moment there is no full implementation of path syncronization process inside centos-art.sh script and it is somthing we need to do oursleves. However, the texinfo backend of help functionality which provides a restricted implementation of path syncronization to this specific area of documentation through the , and options you can take as reference to implement it in other areas. The plan for a full implementation of path syncronization would be to create individual restricted implementations like the one in texinfo backend for other areas that demand it and then, create a higher implmentation that combines them all as needed. This way, if we try to rename a repository directory the higher action will define which are all the restricted actions that should be performed in order to make the full path syncronization. For example, if the directory we are renaming is a master path, it is required to syncronize the related output and localization auxiliar paths. On the other hand, if the directory we are renaming through full path syncronization is an auxiliar path, it is required to determine first what is the related master path and later, perform the syncronization from master path to auxiliar paths as if the path provided would be the master path not the auxiliar path.
