-*- text -*- RELNOTESng README Bruce A. Mah <bmah@freebsd.org> $FreeBSD$ This is the top-level directory for RELNOTESng, a re-write of FreeBSD's *.TXT documentation files. They have been converted to DocBook, and versions of the documents can be now be built for various supported architectures. The output files can be rendered in any format supported by the FreeBSD Documentation Project (for example, ASCII text, PDF, PS, HTML). RELNOTESng requires that the FreeBSD doc/ sources are installed; it leverages off of much of the DocProj build infrastructure, including DocBook extensions and stylesheets. If the doc/ sources are not installed in /usr/src, their location should be specified with the DOC_PREFIX Makefile variable. RELNOTESng also requires the DocProj build tools, which can easily be installed with the textproc/docproj port in the Ports Collection. Notable files and directories: share/mk/doc.relnotes.mk Common Makefile definitions for RELNOTESng. These definitions mostly accommodate the fact that we're building DocProj-like documents outside the doc/ tree. share/sgml/catalog Main SGML catalog for all language-neutral (and default EN) stylesheet and entity files. Can be overridden if needed for translations. share/sgml/default.dsl All documents build with this file as a stylesheet. All it does is to make it possible to use the document catalogs to locate the "real" stylesheet by reference, rather than having to specify it by pathname. share/sgml/release.dsl Language-neutral stylesheet. This stylesheet supports the arch= attribute on (all?) DocBook elements; elements with an arch= attribute are only included in the output if their value is equal to the value of the &arch; entity. In the future, arch= could be a list of possible &arch; entity values that match, such as "i386,sparc64". share/sgml/release.ent Release information. Need to update the entry definitions in this file when rolling new revisions; these should take effect in all documents. en_US.ISO8859-1/share/sgml/release.dsl Language-dependent stylesheet for en, but also the default for translations if they don't override the settings here. This stylesheet sets the email footer at the bottom of HTML pages, as well as a few other parameters. If necessary for translations, this file can be overridden with */share/sgml/release.dsl and */share/sgml/catalog. */relnotes/common/ Directory for multi-architecture release notes files. */relnotes/*/ Directories for architecture-specific release notes files. */hardware/common/ Directory for multi-architecture hardware notes files. */hardware/*/ Directories for architecture-specific hardware notes files. */installation/common/ Directory for multi-architecture installation notes files. Note that the FreeBSD DocProj build infrastructure does not handle documents (or subdirectories) named "install" well, so we call our document "installation" and do a hack when it gets installed into a distribution to fix this up. */installation/*/ Directories for architecture-specific release notes files. */errata/ Directory for errata document. */readme/ Directory for (introductory) document. If building the release notes "standalone" (in other words, not part of a release), it may be necessary (depending on the relative locations of the checked-out src/ and doc/ directories) to set the DOC_PREFIX Makefile variable to point to the top directory of the doc/ tree. For example: % make DOC_PREFIX=/usr/doc all All definition of the "current" version of FreeBSD is contained in the share/sgml/release.ent file; release engineers should peruse the contents of this file carefully when doing version number bumps. When creating content for the architecture-dependent files, authors should use the arch= attribute to elements that are specific to a particular machine architecture. The value of this attribute should be a single word that indicates for which architecture the current element will be included. For example: <para arch="sparc64">SPARC64-specific text</para> The currently-supported architectures are i386, sparc64, and ia64. An element may appear for multiple architectures by specifying a comma-separated list of architectures (i.e. arch="sparc64,ia64"). When creating a translation, make a new directory under this directory with a language code (paralleling the DocProj directory structure). If necessary, new language-dependent HTML footers can be generated by making a new language-dependent ${LANG}/share/sgml/release.dsl, a ${LANG}/share/sgml/catalog that points to it, and a new definition in the Makefiles that adds ${LANG}/share/sgml/catalog to EXTRA_CATALOGS. Except for the Makefile changes, this is the same procedure that is used for creating a new translation for DocProj files. RELNOTESng is now enabled by default in the FreeBSD release-build process. It can be disabled by setting NODOC=YES when building a release (note that this is the same variable that disables DocProj documentation builds). Release builders can set which language gets built with the RELNOTES_LANG variable; note that this is different from the DOC_LANG variable because (at least initially) most languages will have localized DocProj files but not localized release notes. The default language, if none is specified, is en_US.ISO8859-1.
