Re: [Firebird-docs] Update of build system
Hi Paul, The value in the penultimate line looks dodgy to me. Should that comma be there? Yes, it's a delimiter. Everything in docbook/images/callouts *and* everything in images must be copied. Ok, thanks. PS. Build monohtml takes 37 seconds with Sun Java compared to over 12 minutes (to fail) with OpenJDK. For the entire set, 37 seconds is acceptable I guess. For a single document, it's long (on a modern system). I did another set of timings: monohtml: 37 seconds html: 35 seconds pdf: 41 seconds docs: 1:33. The sum of the parts doesn't add up to the total for everything.

[Firebird-docs] Checking out the B_Release branch
If you are a bit weak on the workings or CVS, like I am, then the following will hopefully help you check out the new B_Release branch of the manual module. # # get into my normal working area. # cd SourceCode/cvs/firebird/ # # Create a new directory for the branch. # mkdir b_release cd b_release # # Checkout the new branch into the current directory. # (All on one line!) # Replace my_username with your Source Forge username. # Note: Spelling of B_Release is critical! # cvs -z6 -d:ext:my_usern...@firebird.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/firebird checkout -r B_Release manual # # Did it work? # ls At this point you should find that you have a new directory called manual in your current directory. That is the B_Release branch. The B_Release branch is only for manuals that are complete and build correctly. DO NOT commit any half edited or unbuildable manuals into this branch please. (Lest Paul descend upon you with wrath!) So, when you are working on manuals the easiest process to follow is: * Edit everything in the working location - /SourceCode/cvs/firebird/manual/src/docs/firebirddocs in my case. Feel free to commit partial changes etc to this location. * Build the completed docs, and check them for correctness, pdf overflows, spelling etc. * When satisfied, commit them into cvs in the usual manner. So far, nothing spectacular. However, once the manual(s) are complete and build correctly, they are ready for release. They must be copied into the B_Release branch. * Copy any updated manuals' XML files into the b_release location - /SourceCode/cvs/firebird/b_release/manual/src/docs/firebirddocs/ in my case. * Commit these documents back to cvs in the usual manner.

Re: [Firebird-docs] firebirddocs.xml and subtree updated
Morning Paul, Norman, I've also done this in one of your documents: fbdoc_vpn.xml, because I wanted fb-docwriters-info.xml and subdocuments to be consistent. Hope you don't mind. I left the rest of your stuff alone ;-) Hmm. Surely the fbdoc_vpn.xml file is as equally obsolete as the firebirdintro.xml? The VPN method of accessing the server to upload documents is no longer in use what with the new CMS and the (blisteringly fast) new server? I was considering deleting that file. I was actually working, yesterday, on my command line utility manuals to allow them to be included - so I've got a couple of changes in that department coming soon myself. Also, XMLMind complained that fbutil_gbak.xml was invalid: you should wrap therevhistory in apara tot fix it. It doesn't matter for the build though: the build system doesn't validate the sources against the DocBook DTD - it just breaks if things get too weird, or if the XML is not well-formed. Yes, I noticed that but only after I use includes. Strange. The revision in question was copied and pasted in XXE. I'm looking into this at the moment. It's a tad strange! Anyway, for everybody who has a local copy of the manual tree, it's probably a good idea to do a cvs update. Consider it about to be done.

Afternoon Paul, On 18/10/17 14:08, Paul Vinkenoog wrote: A number of source files in my (Windows) CVS working dir have Unix line endings though, whereas their Git counterparts have DOS endings. That's no problem, as long as it doesn't lead to a huge number of 'changes' and log messages when such a file is committed, cluttering the history and drowning the real changes. This is a documented feature of Git. Github has a document about how you can set up your git client to cope with this. The URL is https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/. From the online "Pro Git" book, we have this from https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration (scroll down!): core.autocrlf If you’re programming on Windows and working with people who are not (or vice-versa), you’ll probably run into line-ending issues at some point. This is because Windows uses both a carriage-return character and a linefeed character for newlines in its files, whereas Mac and Linux systems use only the linefeed character. This is a subtle but incredibly annoying fact of cross-platform work; many editors on Windows silently replace existing LF-style line endings with CRLF, or insert both line-ending characters when the user hits the enter key. Git can handle this by auto-converting CRLF line endings into LF when you add a file to the index, and vice versa when it checks out code onto your filesystem. You can turn on this functionality with the core.autocrlf setting. If you’re on a Windows machine, set it to true – this converts LF endings into CRLF when you check out code: $ git config --global core.autocrlf true If you’re on a Linux or Mac system that uses LF line endings, then you don’t want Git to automatically convert them when you check out files; however, if a file with CRLF endings accidentally gets introduced, then you may want Git to fix it. You can tell Git to convert CRLF to LF on commit but not the other way around by setting core.autocrlf to input: $ git config --global core.autocrlf input This setup should leave you with CRLF endings in Windows checkouts, but LF endings on Mac and Linux systems and in the repository. If you’re a Windows programmer doing a Windows-only project, then you can turn off this functionality, recording the carriage returns in the repository by setting the config value to false: $ git config --global core.autocrlf false So, windows users need: $ git config --global core.autocrlf true and Linux and Mac users need: $ git config --global core.autocrlf input Anyway, I guess that won't occur if we commit all our work to CVS before the conversion/transition, get a fresh git clone afterwards and work only from that. Am I right? In a word, yes. Provided that you configure the Git client before checking out and definitely before checking in.

However, if a new file type appears, Git will determine whether it is a text file by checking to see if it fails the tests for binary files.

It's a bit of a bind that the widths cannot be written then the ifdef embedded, so you have to duplicate the widths etc in both options. Captions are interesting. The above would give a table the caption of "Table 9.2 - ADC prescaler settings and frequencies" Asciidoctor has manual table/listing/etc numbering so moving or adding sections will require lots of updating of captions etc. A right major pain!

Re: [Firebird-docs] First 'new' documents online
Hi Martin, I don't believe that you can, currently, create chunked HTML with Asciidoctor. s Mark stated in his thread recently about Chunked HTML: Asciidoctor does not support chunked HTML output (there is an experimental, third-party plugin, but that plugin is tied to a specific, out-of-date asciidoctor version).

Re: [Firebird-docs] gstat OST - OIT and Sweep
Oh dear, I wrote that! Originally, if I remember correctly, I might have mentioned that the sweep would be started when OAT - OIT was greater than the sweep interval. This was s I had seen in books, online, etc. Vlad, complained to me that I had written wrongly, and that the sweep would be started when OST - OIT was greater than the sweep interval. OAT = Oldest Active Transaction. OIT = Oldest Interesting Transaction. OST = Oldest Snapshot Transaction. Cheers, Norm. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.

Re: [Firebird-docs] Experimental chunked output
I like it. The styling looks good to my eye. The quick TOC pop-up (pop-down) is a nice touch. It's readable on my phone in portrait and landscape mode which is nice. It's a little tiny bit too big though and I have to adjust the size slightly. But that's not a huge problem. Cheers, Norm. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
