3.12.1 Goals

4c79b5
42563b

Organize scalable vector graphics (svg) to help describe the CentOS

42563b
web environment.
42563b

42563b
42563b
42563b

3.12.2 The CentOS web environment

42563b
42563b

Inside CentOS corporate identity, the CentOS web environment is

42563b
considered a promotion component. The CentOS web environment is formed
42563b
by a central web application --to cover base needs (e.g., per-major
42563b
release information like release notes, lifetime, downloads,
42563b
documentation, support, security advisories, bugs, etc.)-- and many
42563b
different free web applications --to cover specific needs (e.g.,
42563b
wiki, mailing lists, etc.)--. 
42563b

42563b

The CentOS web environment is addressed to solve the following issues:

42563b

4c79b5
    42563b
  • One unique name and one unique visual style to all web
  • 42563b
    applications used inside the web environment.
    42563b
    42563b
  • One-step navigation to web applications inside the environment.
  • 42563b
    42563b
  • High degree of customization to change the visual style of all
  • 42563b
    web applications with few changes (e.g, updating just two or three
    42563b
    images plus common style sheet [CSS] definitions).
    4c79b5
    4c79b5
    42563b

    The CentOS project is attached to a monolithic corporate visual

    42563b
    identity (see section trunk/Identity), where all visual manifestations
    42563b
    have one unique name and one unique visual style. This way, the CentOS
    42563b
    web environment has one unique name (the CentOS brand) and one unique
    42563b
    visual style (the CentOS default theme) for all its visual
    42563b
    manifestations, the web applications in this case.
    42563b

    42563b

    Since a maintainance point of view, achiving the one unique visual

    42563b
    style inside CentOS web environment is not a simple task. The CentOS
    42563b
    web environment is built upon many different web applications which
    42563b
    have different visual styles and different internal ways to customize
    42563b
    their own visual styles. For example: MoinMoin, the web application
    42563b
    used to support the CentOS wiki (http://wiki.centos.org/) is
    42563b
    highly customizable but Mailman (in its 2.x.x serie), the web
    42563b
    application used to support the CentOS mailing list, doesn't
    42563b
    support(1) a customization system that separates
    42563b
    presentation from logic, similar to that used by MoinMoin.
    42563b

    42563b

    This visual style diversity complicates our goal of one unique visual

    42563b
    style for all web applications. So, if we want one unique visual style
    42563b
    for all web applications used, it is innevitable to modify the web
    42563b
    applications in order to implement the CentOS one unique visual style
    42563b
    customization in them. Direct modification of upstream applications is
    42563b
    not convenient because upstream applications come with their one
    42563b
    visual style and administrators take the risk of loosing all
    42563b
    customization changes the next time the application be updated (since
    42563b
    not all upstream web applications, used in CentOS web environment,
    42563b
    separate presentation from logic).
    42563b

    42563b

    To solve the "one unique visual style" issue, installation and

    42563b
    actualization of web applications --used inside CentOS web
    42563b
    environment-- need to be independent from upstream web applications
    42563b
    development line; in a way that CentOS web environment administrators
    42563b
    can install and update web applications freely without risk of loosing
    42563b
    the one unique visual style customization changes. 
    42563b

    42563b

    At the surface of this issue we can see the need of one specific yum

    42563b
    repository to store CentOS web environment customized web applications.

    3.12.2.4 Controlling visual style

    42563b
    42563b

    Inside CentOS web environment, the visual style is controlled by the

    42563b
    following compenents:
    42563b

    42563b
    42563b
    Webenv header background
    42563b
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png
    42563b
    42563b
    42563b
    CSS definitions

    42563b
    42563b
    42563b
    42563b
    42563b

    3.12.2.5 Producing visual style

    42563b
    42563b

    The visual style of CentOS web environment is defined in the following

    42563b
    files:
    42563b

    42563b
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Xcf/1024x250.xcf
    42563b
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250.png
    42563b
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Img/1024x250-bg.png
    42563b
    trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds/Tpl/1024x250.svg
    42563b
    42563b

    As graphic designer you use <tt>`1024x250.xcf'</tt> file to produce

    42563b
    <tt>`1024x250-bg.png'</tt> file. Later, inside <tt>`1024x250.svg'</tt> file,
    42563b
    you use the <tt>`1024x250-bg.png'</tt> file as background layer to draw
    42563b
    your vectorial design. When you consider you artwork ready, use the
    42563b
    centos-art.sh script, as described below, to produce the
    42563b
    visual style controller images of CentOS web environment.
    42563b

    42563b
    centos-art render --entry=trunk/Identity/Themes/Motifs/$THEME/Backgrounds --filter='1024x250'
    42563b
    42563b

    Once you have rendered required image files, changing the visual style

    42563b
    of CentOS web environment is a matter of replacing old image files
    42563b
    with new ones, inside webenv repository file system structure. The
    42563b
    visual style changes will take effect the next time customization line
    42563b
    of CentOS web applications be packaged, uploded, and installed from
    42563b
    [webenv] or [webenv-test] repositories.
    42563b

    42563b
    42563b
    42563b

    3.12.2.6 Navigation

    42563b
    42563b

    Inside CentOS web environment, the one-step navegation between web

    42563b
    applications is addressed using the web environment navigation bar.
    42563b
    The web environment navigation bar contains links to main applications
    42563b
    and is always visible no matter where you are inside the web
    42563b
    environment.
    42563b

    42563b
    42563b
    42563b

    3.12.2.7 Development and release cycle

    42563b
    42563b

    The CentOS web environment development and relase cycle is described

    42563b
    below: 
    42563b

    42563b
    42563b
    Download
    42563b
    42563b

    The first action is download the source code of web applications we

    42563b
    want to use inside CentOS web environment.
    42563b

    42563b
    Important

    Important

    The source location from which web application are

    42563b
    downloaded is very important. Use SRPMs from CentOS [base]
    42563b
    and [updates] repositories as first choise, and third party
    42563b
    repositories (e.g. RPMForge, EPEL, etc.) as last resource.
    42563b

    42563b
    42563b
    42563b
    Prepare
    42563b
    42563b

    Once web application source code has been downloaded, our duty is

    42563b
    organize its files inside <samp>`webenv'</samp> version controlled repository.
    42563b

    42563b

    When preparing the structure keep in mind that different web

    42563b
    applications have different visual styles, and also different ways to
    42563b
    implement it. A convenient way to organize the file system structure
    42563b
    would be create one development line for each web application we use
    42563b
    inside CentOS web environment. For example, consider the following
    42563b
    file system structure:
    42563b

    42563b
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    42563b
    |-- WebApp1/
    42563b
    |   |-- Sources/
    42563b
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    42563b
    |   |-- Rpms/
    42563b
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    42563b
    |   |-- Srpms/
    42563b
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    42563b
    |   `-- Specs/
    42563b
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    42563b
    |-- WebApp2/
    42563b
    `-- WebAppN/
    42563b
    42563b
    42563b
    Customize
    42563b
    42563b

    Once web applications have been organized inside the version

    42563b
    controlled repository file system, use subversion to create the CentOS
    42563b
    customization development line of web applications source code.  For
    42563b
    example, using the above file system structure, you can create the
    42563b
    customization development line of <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1/'</tt> with the
    42563b
    following command:
    42563b

    42563b
    svn cp trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1 trunk/WebApp1/Sources/webapp1-0.0.1-webenv
    42563b
    42563b

    The command above creates the following structure:

    42563b

    42563b
    https://projects.centos.org/svn/webenv/trunk/
    42563b
    |-- WebApp1/
    42563b
    |   |-- Sources/
    42563b
    |   |   |-- webapp1-0.0.1/
    42563b
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1-webenv/
    42563b
    |   |-- Rpms/
    42563b
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.rpm
    42563b
    |   |-- Srpms/
    42563b
    |   |   `-- webapp1-0.0.1.srpm
    42563b
    |   `-- Specs/
    42563b
    |       `-- webapp1-0.0.1.spec
    42563b
    |-- WebApp2/
    42563b
    `-- WebAppN/
    42563b
    42563b

    In the above structure, the <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv/'</tt> directory is

    42563b
    the place where you customize the visual style of
    42563b
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1/'</tt> web application. 
    42563b

    42563b
    Info

    Tip

    Use the diff command of Subversion between

    42563b
    CentOS customization and upstream development lines to know what you
    42563b
    are changing exactly.
    42563b

    When web application has been customized, build the web application

    42563b
    RPM and SRPM using the source location with <samp>`-webenv'</samp> prefix.

    42563b
    42563b
    Release for testing
    42563b
    42563b

    When the customized web application has been packaged, make packages

    42563b
    available for testing and quality assurance. This can be achives using
    42563b
    a [webenv-test] yum repository. 
    42563b

    42563b
    info

    Note

    The [webenv-test] repository is not shipped inside

    42563b
    CentOS distribution default yum configuraiton. In order to use
    42563b
    [webenv-test] repository you need to configure it first.
    42563b

    42563b
    42563b

    If some problem is found to install/update/use the customized version

    42563b
    of web application, the problem is notified somewhere (a bugtracker
    42563b
    maybe) and the customization face is repated in order to fix the
    42563b
    problem. To release the new package add a number after <samp>`-webenv'</samp>
    42563b
    prefix. For example, if some problem is found in
    42563b
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv.rpm'</tt>, when it be fixed the new package will
    42563b
    be named <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'</tt>. If a problem is found in
    42563b
    <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-1.rpm'</tt>, when it be fixed the new package
    42563b
    will be named <tt>`webapp1-0.0.1-webenv-2.rpm'</tt>, and so on.
    42563b

    42563b

    The "customization -- release for testing" process is repeated

    42563b
    until CentOS quality assurance team considers the package is ready for
    42563b
    production.
    42563b

    42563b
    42563b
    Release for production
    42563b
    42563b

    When customized web application packages are considered ready for

    42563b
    production they are moved from [webenv-test] to [webenv] repository.
    42563b
    This action is commited by CentOS quality assurance team.
    42563b

    42563b

    Note

    The [webenv] repository is not shipped inside CentOS

    42563b
