Update centos-art.sh script
by Alain Reguera Delgado 02 Jun '13

02 Jun '13

Hi, The centos-art.sh script was updated. This script is the tool we use to automate most frequent tasks inside The CentOS Artwork Repository. Relevant changes committed to the central repository include: * Improve rendition of logo images by using rendition configuration files instead of a SVG file. Previous to this update, the centos-art.sh script used a SVG file as model to produce the related PNG images in different formats and sizes. Combining both the CentOS symbol and the CentOS Type in a SVG file might introduce design mistakes that we want to avoid. In this commit, we remove the SVG file used to build logos and set a configuration file. This configuration file sets each component the CentOS logo is made of and using ImageMagick tools it combines the related PNG images with great precision, so we can grantee logos will always have the correct dimensions and proportions, based on their components. The configuration file also allows you to customize the image heights, formats, foreground and background colors for each image you want to produce (something previously done inside centos-art.sh script). To see how this file looks like, you can take a look at https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork/trunk/Identity/Models/Brands/Logos/… * Add Git support for version control tasks. Previous to this commit only Subversion tasks were supported inside centos-art.sh script. In this commit, you can migrate the Subversion repository into a Git repository and perform the same version control tasks you did with Subversion, considering the differences between each system, of course. For example, if you execute the following command: centos-art locale --update Locales/Scripts/Bash --synchronize the centos-art.sh script will try to update the locale files related to centos-art.sh script and synchronize the local changes in the path provided (e.g., Locales/Scripts/Bash/) with the central repository, no matter if you are using Subversion or Git infrastructure. Notice that path arguments passed to centos-art.sh script don't include the trunk/ part on them, even when you are referring them in a trunk-branches-tags Subversion repository layout. This is something we did for compatibility reasons between Subversion repositories using a conventional trunk-branches-tags layout and Git repository layout that don't use them. By default, centos-art.sh script uses Subversion to perfrom version control tasks, however if you are trying The CentOS Artwork Repository in a Git repository, you can edit the centos-art.conf file and change the package variable from `subversion' to `git' in order to perform version control tasks using Git instead. Notice that centos-art.sh script implements Git version control tasks in order to migrate The CentOS Artwork Repository from a Subversion infrastructure to a Git infrastructure, progressively. Presently, Subversion is the official infrastructure and the one we use to share changes. You can test The CentOS Artwork Repository in your own Git infrastructure, but if you want to share changes, please, do it through Subversion infrastructure at: https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork/. * Re-organize directory structures related to documentation manuals written in Texinfo format as illustrated in the following two figures: Figure 1. Texinfo documentation structure Documentation/Models/Texinfo/${MANUAL_NAME} `-- ${LANG} |-- ${CHAPTER_NAME}/ | `-- ${SECTION_NAME}.texinfo |-- ${CHAPTER_NAME}-menu.texinfo |-- ${CHAPTER_NAME}-nodes.texinfo |-- ${CHAPTER_NAME}.texinfo |-- Licenses -> ${TCAR_WORKDIR}/Documentation/Models/Texinfo/Default/${LANG}/Licenses |-- Licenses-menu.texinfo -> ${TCAR_WORKDIR}/Documentation/Models/Texinfo/Default/${LANG}/Licenses-menu.texinfo |-- Licenses-nodes.texinfo -> ${TCAR_WORKDIR}/Documentation/Models/Texinfo/Default/${LANG}/Licenses-nodes.texinfo |-- Licenses.texinfo -> ${TCAR_WORKDIR}/Documentation/Models/Texinfo/Default/${LANG}/Licenses.texinfo |-- ${MANUAL_NAME}.conf |-- ${MANUAL_NAME}-index.texinfo |-- ${MANUAL_NAME}-menu.texinfo |-- ${MANUAL_NAME}-nodes.texinfo `-- ${MANUAL_NAME}.texinfo Figure 2.

Update wiki theme - Round 2
by Alain Reguera Delgado 01 Jun '13

01 Jun '13

Hi, There are a few more updates available for our wiki theme in the https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork/trunk/Identity/Webenv/Themes/Defaul… location. These changes try to be consequent with the current wiki design on-line, with the following additions: - Identity/Webenv/Themes/Default/Moin/1.5.9/Modern.py: Update position of search form and page title. The search form was moved from the heading top-right corner to the page content top-right side. The search form isn't visible when you are editing a page. The page title was added to page content top-left side. In the same visual line where search form is placed in. Here page title controls the way search form is displayed. The page title is displayed as a block, while the search form is floating on its right. - Identity/Webenv/Themes/Default/Moin/1.5.9/Modern/css/common.css: Don't make form element to display in line. This may create distortions when forms are shown inside lists (e.g., ul, li, etc.). Don't force all hr to be 1px height. There are hr1, hr2 ... hr6 classes which purpose is control the horizontal rule height. Make borders 3px rounded to pre elements. - Identity/Webenv/Themes/Default/Moin/1.5.9/Modern/css/screen.css: Make user name margin 0 with the intention of saving space on top of it. Add some space (5px) between the search form and the edit bar elements. This way, the search form seems to be aligned with the page title on its left. The `-moz-border-radius' property is 3px now. Reset the page trail style to fit the previous look on heading. Make page location 5px of both top margin and bottom margin. This helps to keep both page title and search form horizontally aligned one another. Add visual styles to reflect the fact that hr1..hr6 does exist. Make borders 3px rounded to h1, h2 and div.table-of-contents elements. Also, close the table of content's title by adding a bottom border to it. - Identity/Webenv/Themes/Default/Moin/1.5.9/RecentChanges.png: Update image to reflect changes described above. I would appreciate any comment from you. Best regards, -- Alain Reguera Delgado <alain.reguera(a)gmail.com>

Add clamav rpm to extras or contrib ??
by Ben Mohilef 24 May '13

24 May '13

There was a security update to clamav on 4/23/2013. RPM'S for this widely used antivirus used to be maintained in rpmforge, but they have no current updates in their repo for centos-5. Could this be added to either centos extras or centos contrib and maintained by someone on the centos team ? The rpm rebuild is pretty simple and takes a short amount of time and resource

Update wiki theme artworks
by Alain Reguera Delgado 24 May '13

24 May '13

Hi guys, It has been a long time since the last time we talked about CentOS artworks. So, it is time to throw some woods into the fire :). We have some theme updates for our wiki in the following location: https://projects.centos.org/svn/artwork/trunk/Identity/Webenv/Themes/Defaul… I'm wondering if it would be possible for someone to install this updates in a public test server where the community can test it and report their impressions. The relevant changes in this commit are: - Update brand information. The brand information used in the wiki was modified to fit the colors used by the CentOS symbols inside the CentOS distribution. There are small color differences between them and that is something we need to avoid. It is very important that brand information be exactly the same in all visual manifestations. The brand I present now for the wiki is a combination of "The CentOS Logo" followed by a "semitransparent-dotted horizontal bar" and the word "Wiki" next to it. This proportion seems to be well balanced and I would propose it for using in the CentOS websites. Inside this brand information, "The CentOS Logo" and the "semitransparent-dotted horizontal bar" do not change. The "Wiki" word can change to reflect other areas (e.g., Projects, People, Bugs, Blog, etc.). - Update admonitions visual style. The admonition visual style used in the wiki was modified based on DocBook XHTML output. Icons were also updated so the whole artwork result being more attractive and consistent. - The style related to tabs was revised and improved. Now tabs both upside and downside the page have rounded corners when you use firefox as web browser. - The trail of pages was moved from heading to page content. This way, heading will always have the same height, no matter if page trails are active or not. - No banner for external promotions visible. - Update heading background. Now it is an array of small blue circles. This background is the same we use in DocBook documentation. - Update content of RecentChanges page. Use admonitions in the hint section, remove left margin from tables, and remove extra space on images and icons shown inside recent changes tables. To show such changes, we add RecentChanges.png and RecentChanges.txt files. If you want your RecentChanges page to look like this, you need to edit the one you have on your wiki and replace its content with that in RecentChanges.txt instead.

MariaDB now available for Testing on CentOS-6
by Karanbir Singh 01 May '13

01 May '13

hi guys, quick start: drop http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/mariadb/mariadb.repo into /etc/yum.repos.d/ and yum list mariadb\* This is adapted from the Fedora spec adapted by Johnny for CentOS-6 and upgraded to 5.5.29; we have done some basic testing on these packages and they worked for us. We are now looking for wider testing and feedback about both the packaging, the payload and how its setup as well as any build issues. These packages are setup to replace MySQL on your machine, so be careful. And we consider these rpms to be of Testing grade, unsuiteable for production at this point. Post feedback as follow up to this email, or at bugs.centos.org/ Regards, -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc

Promoting contributor efforts
by Karanbir Singh 23 Apr '13

23 Apr '13

hi, Over the years, we have had a silent group of people, who have helped, promoted, contributed code, helped QA, helped in various other parallel efforts that all bring together the CentOS Ecosystem. Its time we did something to promote these people, make them visible and to give them credit for the work and efforts they have been putting in. After all, a large chunk of reward for open source efforts is recognition. To this end, I'd like to propose the CentOS VIP effort. A draft overview is posted here : http://wiki.centos.org/KaranbirSingh/VIP A key takeaway from this is that this group would in effect take over running most of the project activities, with the CentOS Core team now back tracking to running admin and project specific tasks ( eg. making sure the centos.org domain name is paid for and renewed! ). I am looking for comments on things to add / remove / change, as well as a couple of voulenteers to help run the infra around this effort. - KB -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
