It addresses:
* .cvsignore (only minor changes to yours, as they were pretty clean,
most changes result from my mkcvsignore script being overly pedantic
sorting entries alphabetically.)
* timing.t handling and time<BSP>_.texi handling in supplements
* network.t handling in bsp_howto
* RTEMS_DATE and RTEMS_UPDATE handling in configure.in. [It actually is
a hack, as we could apply automake's version.texi handling instead - I
know think to understand what automake does with it.]
* avoid using temporary files; Therefore a new tool called bmenu2,
derived from bemenu, is introduced, which reads a single file from stdin
and writes to stdio.
To apply:
cd rtemsdoc
patch -p1 < rtemsdoc-4.5.0-rc-3.diff
cvs rm -f bsp_howto/network.t
cvs add tools/bmenu/bmenu2.c
./bootstrap
BTW: word-replace now is unused. It could be removed if you like to.
that addresses the following:
The patch below should
* fix the *pdf cleanup handling
* fix dependencies between pdf-documents and texi-files
It also contains an attempt to let networking/schedule.t use states.pdf
instead of ascii graphics, but though each pdf image looks nice, it
comes out weirdly distorted in the main pdf document.
which contains the bulk of converting the documentation tree to automake
and GNU conventions. Comments follow:
This is the automake port of rtemsdoc.
To apply:
cvs co rtemsdoc
cd rtemsdoc
sh cvs-rm.sh
patch -p0 < rtemsdoc-4.5.0-rc-0.diff
sh cvs-add.sh
[Attention: cvs-rm.sh and cvs-add.sh directly modify cvs]
Known bugs:
1) src2html is not supported (yet? - Is this supposed to work?)
2) all *.pdf images now are generated on-the-fly, but not yet deleted
during "make distclean"
3) All supplements, including the templated ones, get build and
installed.
4) Building outside of the source tree is completely untested and very
likely does not work.
5) Make [ps|pdf] are not (yet) supported, make [dvi|info] are supported
by automake's default texinfo rules.
Fixing 2, 3 and 5 is almost trivial and needs to be done.
4) is a matter of testing and tool-properties, for now it is simply
untested.
General issues:
* gif vs jpg vs png. I would recommend to replace all images with pngs
to avoid potential copyright issues (gif) or lack in quality (jpg, jpg
is good for real world photographs, but extremely poor on artificial
images, graphs).
* pdf images do net get placed correctly in pdf-documents.
* texinfo: We now use a local copy of texinfo-4.0's texinfo.tex in
texinfo/texinfo.tex for generating infos. However pdftex's system-wide
texinfo.tex and pdftexinfo.tex are used for generating *.dvi, *.ps, *.pdf.
* .cvsignore files still missing.
* I have renamed the supplements filename not to use c_<supplement>,
because automake seems to have problems with it.
Notes:
* Again, I recommend not to put any generated files into CVS. Here, this
comprises some *texi, all *.pdf and many *.html pages. Ie. I recommend
to run make maintainer-clean before checking in any files.
* To get building started, this should be sufficient:
./bootstrap
./configure
cd tools; make; cd ..
make info
* To make a public tarball:
[cvs co ; ./bootstrap]
./configure
cd tools; make; cd ..
make info
[make clean]
make dist
=> This generates a rtems-<version>.tar.gz in the toplevel directory.
=> Building the tools only is required after a "cvs co", but not in a
distribution tarball.
