Summary: Updating the database for packaged books is fragile https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=661948 Summary: Updating the database for packaged books is fragile Product: Publican Version: 2.5 Platform: Unspecified OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: publican AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] QAContact: [email protected] CC: [email protected], [email protected] Classification: Other Target Release: --- Description of problem: The way the database is updated for packaged books is very fragile, prone to breaking, and not very cross platform friendly. This becomes particularly apparent when the underlying perl code changes and the install (e.g. RPM spec) files need to be updated. Instead of using naked perl in the install files publican should have a CLI action to allow the database to be updated. This way the install files are less likely to break and will require modification less often. e.g. $ publican update_db --add --lang en-US --formats html,pdf --name Foo \ --name_label "foo is good" --version 0.1 --version_label UNUSED \ --product Bar --product_label "To the bar" \ --subtitle "A guide to Bar Foo" \ --abstract "There once was a Foo from Bar ..." $ publican update_db --del --lang en-US --name Foo --version 0.1 --product Bar \ --site_config /usr/share/bar/foo.cfg -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ publican-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/publican-list Wiki: https://fedorahosted.org/publican
