[libvirt] [PATCH v2 1/3] NEWS: Improve building pipeline

Currently, building the NEWS file involves using a XSLT stylesheet to extract information from the same HTML file that's used on the libvirt website. The process works, but it's quite fiddly in that it requires the source HTML to be formatted in a very precise way, and a single missing newline can mess up the resulting plain text considerably. Moreover, the XSLT stylesheet itself encodes a lot of the details of converting to plain text in a way that's not necessarily easy to understand, tweak or fix. To improve the process, move all existing entries to a new XML file that contains exactly the information we care about in a simple structured format, and start generating both the HTML and plain text versions of the release notes using XSLT stylesheets that can now afford to be almost trivial. --- Changes from v1: * Address review comments - Rename XSLT stylesheets to news-{ascii,html}.xsl - Add "do not edit" note to news.html.in - Add "older releases" note to NEWS * Rename XML elements - <change> instead of <item> - <libvirt> instead of <releases> .gitignore | 1 + Makefile.am | 6 +- docs/Makefile.am | 23 ++++- docs/news-ascii.xsl | 66 ++++++++++++++ docs/news-html.xsl | 97 +++++++++++++++++++++ docs/news.html.in | 157 ---------------------------------- docs/news.xml | 241 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ docs/news.xsl | 50 ----------- 8 files changed, 428 insertions(+), 213 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/news-ascii.xsl create mode 100644 docs/news-html.xsl delete mode 100644 docs/news.html.in create mode 100644 docs/news.xml delete mode 100644 docs/news.xsl diff --git a/.gitignore b/.gitignore index 984ad07..7b71bd1 100644 --- a/.gitignore +++ b/.gitignore @@ -72,6 +72,7 @@ /docs/libvirt-lxc-*.xml /docs/libvirt-qemu-*.xml /docs/libvirt-refs.xml +/docs/news.html.in /docs/search.php /docs/todo.html.in /examples/admin/client_close diff --git a/Makefile.am b/Makefile.am index 50c358c..5c813b2 100644 --- a/Makefile.am +++ b/Makefile.am @@ -46,10 +46,10 @@ EXTRA_DIST = \ pkgconfigdir = $(libdir)/pkgconfig pkgconfig_DATA = libvirt.pc libvirt-qemu.pc libvirt-lxc.pc libvirt-admin.pc -NEWS: $(top_srcdir)/docs/news.xsl $(top_srcdir)/docs/news.html.in +NEWS: $(srcdir)/docs/news.xml $(srcdir)/docs/news-ascii.xsl $(AM_V_GEN)if [ -x $(XSLTPROC) ] ; then \ - $(XSLTPROC) --nonet $(top_srcdir)/docs/news.xsl \ - $(top_srcdir)/docs/news.html.in \ + $(XSLTPROC) --nonet $(srcdir)/docs/news-ascii.xsl \ + $(srcdir)/docs/news.xml \ | perl -0777 -pe 's/\n\n+$$/\n/' \ | perl -pe 's/[ \t]+$$//' \ diff --git a/docs/Makefile.am b/docs/Makefile.am index 790c0a2..8b34048 100644 --- a/docs/Makefile.am +++ b/docs/Makefile.am @@ -106,9 +106,10 @@ internals_html = $(internals_html_in:%.html.in=%.html) # Since we ship pre-built html in the tarball, we must also # ship the sources, even when those sources are themselves # generated. -# Generate hvsupport.html first, since it takes one extra step. +# Generate hvsupport.html and news.html first, since they take one extra step. dot_html_in = \ hvsupport.html.in \ + news.html.in \ $(notdir $(wildcard $(srcdir)/*.html.in)) dot_html = $(dot_html_in:%.html.in=%.html) @@ -156,7 +157,7 @@ schema_DATA = $(wildcard $(srcdir)/schemas/*.rng) EXTRA_DIST= \ apibuild.py genaclperms.pl \ - site.xsl subsite.xsl newapi.xsl news.xsl page.xsl \ + site.xsl subsite.xsl newapi.xsl news-ascii.xsl news-html.xsl page.xsl \ hacking1.xsl hacking2.xsl wrapstring.xsl \ $(dot_html) $(dot_html_in) $(gif) $(apihtml) $(apipng) \ $(devhelphtml) $(devhelppng) $(devhelpcss) $(devhelpxsl) \ @@ -179,7 +180,7 @@ MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = \ $(addprefix $(srcdir)/,$(devhelphtml)) \ $(addprefix $(srcdir)/,$(internals_html)) \ $(addprefix $(srcdir)/,$(dot_php)) \ - $(srcdir)/hvsupport.html.in $(srcdir)/aclperms.htmlinc + $(srcdir)/hvsupport.html.in $(srcdir)/news.html.in $(srcdir)/aclperms.htmlinc all-am: web @@ -200,6 +201,22 @@ $(srcdir)/hvsupport.html.in: $(srcdir)/hvsupport.pl $(api_DATA) \ $(AM_V_GEN)$(PERL) $(srcdir)/hvsupport.pl $(top_srcdir)/src > $@ \ || { rm $@ && exit 1; } +# xsltproc seems to add the xmlns="" attribute to random output elements: +# use sed to strip it out, as leaving it there triggers XML errors during +# further transformation steps +news.html.in: $(srcdir)/news.xml $(srcdir)/news-html.xsl + $(AM_V_GEN) \ + if [ -x $(XSLTPROC) ]; then \ + $(XSLTPROC) --nonet \ + $(srcdir)/news-html.xsl \ + $(srcdir)/news.xml \ + >$@-tmp \ + || { rm -f $@-tmp; exit 1; }; \ + sed 's/ xmlns=""//g' $@-tmp >$@ \ + || { rm -f $@-tmp; exit 1; }; \ + rm -f $@-tmp; \ + fi + %.png: %.fig convert -rotate 90 $< $@ diff --git a/docs/news-ascii.xsl b/docs/news-ascii.xsl new file mode 100644 index 0000000..869ab1a --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/news-ascii.xsl @@ -0,0 +1,66 @@ +<?xml version="1.0"?> +<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> + <xsl:output method="text" encoding="UTF-8"/> + + <!-- This XSLT stylesheet can be applied to the XML version of the release + notes to produce a plain text document.
