The render functionality is the interface the centos-art.sh script provides to standardize the content production tasks inside the working copy. centos-art render [OPTIONS] [DIRECTORY] The DIRECTORY parameter specifies the directory path, inside the working copy of &TCAR;, where the files you want to process are stored in. This paramter can be provided more than once in order to process more than one directory path in a single command execution. When this parameter is not provided, the current directory path where the command was called from is used instead. The render functionality accepts the following options: --quiet This option supresses all output messages except error messages. When this option is passed, all confirmation requests are supressed and a possitive answer is assumed for them, just as if the --answer-yes option would have been provided. --answer-yes Assume yes to all confirmation requests. --filter="REGEX" This option reduces the list of files to process inside DIRECTORY using REGEX as pattern. You can use this option to control the amount of files you want to render. The deeper you go into the directory structure the more specific you'll be about the files you want to render. When you cannot go deeper into the directory structure through DIRECTORY specification, use this option to reduce the list of files therein. --sync-changes Synchronizes available changes between the working copy and the central repository. --releasever="NUMBER" This option expands the =\RELEASE=, =\MAJOR_RELEASE=, and =\MINOR_RELEASE= translation makers based on NUMBER value. Notice that translation markers here were escaped using a backslash (\) in order to prevent their expansion. Use this option when you need to produce release-specific contents, but no release information can be retrived from the directory path you are currently rendering. --basearch="ARCH" This option expands the =\ARCHITECTURE=, translation makers based on ARHC value. Notice that translation markers here were escaped using a backslash (\) in order to prevent their expansion. Use this option when you need to produce architecture-sepecific contents but no architecture information can be retrived from the directory path you are currently rendering. --theme-model="NAME" This option specifies the name of theme model you want to use when producing theme artistic motifs. By default, if this option is not provided, the Default theme model is used as reference to produce theme artistic motifs. To know what values does the NAME variable can have, run ls ~/artwork/trunk/Identity/Models/Themes command. --post-rendition="COMMAND" This option lets you apply a command as post-rendition action. In this case, the COMMAND represents the command-line you want to execute in order to perform in-place modifications to base-rendition output. --last-rendition="COMMAND" This option lets you apply a command as last-rendition action. In this case, the COMMAND argument represents the command string you want to execute in order to perform in-place modifications to base-rendition, post-rendition and directory-specific rendition outputs. Inside the working copy of &TCAR;, rendition tasks take place inside renderable directories. The rendition itself is performed through a serie of rendition flows named base-rendition, post-rendition, last-rendition and directory-specific rendition. Renderable directories are convenctional locations inside the working copy where you can find source files, output files and auxiliar files. Source files are used to produce output files. Auxiliar files are used to modify the way output files are produced from source files (e.g., to produce localized output). Auxiliar files are optionals. Renderable directories are made of several directories but only the output dirctory path is passed to render functionality as DIRECTORY parameter in the command-line. The directories related to source and auxiliar files are automatically constructed based on a directory organization convenction. This way, the render functionality collects all the information it needs to work with. Inside the working copy, renderable directories are divided in two categories in a way differences between them can be preserved. These categories are named direct production and theme production. These categories provide the file organization convenction the render functionality needs, to produce content based on rendition flows. Direct Production Theme Production Base Rendition Flow Post Rendition Flow Last Rendition Flow Directory-Specific Rendition Flow ...
