Ahoy, Doc'ers!
Earlier on this list, Paul Frields began a discussion about moving
all the overhead directories ("common", "css", "stylesheet-images",
and "xsl") into a single object. That way, the root directory of
everyone's working tree would not be cluttered with boilerplate
cruft.
The ensuing discussion has led to the creation of the "docs-common"
top-level directory. This now holds the four older directories
mentioned above. The old "doc-setup" object is no more.
The "docs-common" is intended to be a peer directory for the
individual document directories. To check out a document for local
editing or building, two steps are needed:
$ cvs checkout docs-common
$ cvs checkout the-doc-I-want
Note that checking out "docs-common" is a one-time operation; all
documents will share that one instance.
At least two changes need be made to each document's "Makefile":
1) Change the relative paths for the "XSLPDF" and "XSLHTML" macros
from "../xsl" to "../docs-common/xsl".
2) Change the relative path of the "cp ../stylesheet-images" line to
"cp ../docs-common/stylesheet-images"
Then, in the parent file of each document, change the relative paths
of the "FEDORA-ENTITIES-EN" entity from "../common" to
"../docs-common/common". Yeah, I know, it looks redundant, doesn't
it? Also change the relative path of the "LEGALNOTICE" entity from
"../common" to "../docs-common/common".
With these changes, you document should build.
Now, go back to your top-level directory, the one that now holds
"docs-common" and *stale* copies of "common", "css",
"stylesheet-images", and "xsl" directories. Take a deep breath and
type:
$ rm -rf README common css stylesheet-images xsl
to get rid of the files that are now part of "docs-common".
If you have any questions about this process, look at the
"example-tutorial/" document: it has the necesssary changes.
Cheers
