How to convert from fedora-doc-utils to Publican

1. Install Publican and the Fedora branding:

   su -c "yum install publican publican-fedora"

2. Make sure you have an updated source set from the version control system
3. Branch as appropriate for new work, e.g.: git branch f11-publican-conversion
4. Switch to the branch, e.g.: git checkout f11-publican-conversion
5. 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
6. Create a blank Publican book for parts harvesting:

   cd /tmp; create_book --name=Guide_Name --brand=fedora --lang=en-US --type=Book

7. Copy in the template Makefile:

   cd /path/to/guide_name ; cp /tmp/Guide_Name/Makefile ./

8. If there are existing translations to work from, add the language codes in to the Publican-based Makefile
9. Download this tarball. Extract it to your current directory and run:

   rpminfo-to-publican.sh en-US/rpm-info.xml
