TLDP document source repository to an output tree of choice.

Installation
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can install, upgrade, uninstall tldp tools with these commands::
|
||||
|
||||
$ pip install tldp
|
||||
$ pip install --upgrade tldp
|
||||
$ pip uninstall tldp
|
||||
|
||||
There's also a package for Debian/Ubuntu, but it's not always the
|
||||
latest version.
|
||||
|
||||
Example usages:
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
FIXME: Missing examples.
|
||||
Here are some example usages against a live checkout of the LDP source
|
||||
repository and a local cache of the output tree:
|
||||
|
||||
To see what work needs to be done, `ldptool --list`::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ldptool --list
|
||||
new DocBook-Demystification-HOWTO
|
||||
stale Linux-Dictionary
|
||||
broken PHP-Nuke-HOWTO
|
||||
orphan Traffic-Control-tcng-HTB-HOWTO
|
||||
|
||||
To see publication status of each document:::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ldptool --list all | head -n 3
|
||||
published 3-Button-Mouse
|
||||
published 3D-Modelling
|

|
||||
|
||||
To get more information about the newer or missing files in a specific
|
||||
document:::

||||
|
||||
$ ldptool --list Linux-Dictionary

|
||||
|

To generate a specific output:::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ldptool --build DocBook-Demystification-HOWTO
|
||||
|
||||
To generate all outputs:::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ldptool --build
|
||||
|
||||
To generate all outputs, except a trouble-maker:::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ldptool --build --skip HOWTO-INDEX
|
||||
|
||||
To loudly generate all outputs, except a trouble-maker:::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ldptool --build --loglevel debug --skip HOWTO-INDEX
|
||||
|
||||
To print out a script of what would be executed:::
|
||||
|
||||
$ ldptool --script DocBook-Demystification-HOWTO
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
The `ldptool` comes with support for reading its settings from the
|
||||
command-line, environment or a system and/or user-specified configuration
|
||||
file. If you want to generate a sample configuration file to edit and use
|
||||
later, you can run:::
|
||||
|
||||
ldptool --dump-cfg > my-ldptool.cfg
|
||||
ldptool --configfile my-ldptool.cfg --list
|
||||
LDPTOOL_CONFIGFILE=/path/to/ldptool.cfg ldptool --list
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Software dependencies
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
There are a large number of packages listed here in the dependency set. This
|
||||
is because the supporting software for processing Linuxdoc and the various
|
||||
DocBook formats is split across many upstream packages and repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
Ubuntu / Debian

|

There are a few additional data files that are needed, specifically, the TLDP
|
||||
XSL and DSSSL files that are used by the respective DocBook SGML (openjade) and
|
||||
DocBook XML (xsltproc) processing engines to generate the various outputs.
|
||||
|
||||
On Debian-based systems, there are packages available from the distributor
|
||||
called ldp-docbook-{xsl,dsssl}. There aren't any such packages for RPM (yet).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Installation
|
||||
------------
|
||||
This is a pure-Python package, and you should be able to use your favorite
|
||||
Python tool to install it on your system. The python-tldp package (`ldptool`)
|
||||
requires a large number of other packages, most of which are outside of the
|
||||
Python ecosystem. There's room for improvement here, but here are a few
|
||||
tidbits.
|
||||
|
||||
Build an RPM:::
|
||||
|
||||
python setup.py bdist_rpm
|
||||
|
||||
There's a file, `contrib/tldp.spec`, which makes a few changes to the
|
||||
setuptools stock-generated specfile. Specifically, the package gets named
|
||||
`python-tldp` instead of `tldp` and the configuration file is marked
|
||||
`%config(noreplace)`.
|
||||
|
||||
I know less about packaging for Debian, so this works and builds a usable
|
||||
Debian package which has been tested out on an Ubuntu 14.04.3 system.
|
||||
|
||||
Build a DEB:::
|
||||
|
||||
python setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb
|
||||
|
||||
I have not tried installing the package in a virtualenv or with pip. If you
|
||||
try that, please let me know any problems you encounter.
