How to convert from fedora-doc-utils to Publican
From FedoraProject
- Install Publican and the Fedora branding:
su -c "yum install publican publican-fedora"
- Make sure you have an updated source set from the version control system
- Branch as appropriate for new work, e.g.:
git branch f11-publican-conversion - Switch to the branch, e.g.:
git checkout f11-publican-conversion - The XML is written in a primary language, for example, US English. This is needs to be stored in a sub-directory that is named in a method acceptable to Publican: lang-country. For example,
en-US. If the guide used a different method, the XML-holding directory needs to be created or renamed:git mv en_US en-US
- Commit fine-grained activities changes regularly
- Create a blank Publican book for parts harvesting:
cd /tmp;
- Copy in the template
Makefile:cd /path/to/guide_name ; cp /tmp/Guide_Name/Makefile ./
- If there are existing translations to work from, add the language codes in to the Publican-based Makefile
