[RDD] Rivendell Technical and Administration Guide

2020-12-24 Thread wa7skg 
I find numerous references to this document, however, I am unable to 
find it.


Does this exist? Is it publicly available? If so, where might I find it?

No, that's the Operations Guide. I'm looking for the Technical Guide. On 
Page 8 of the Ops Guide your referenced:


Chapter 2.
Managing the Current User with RDLogin
2.1. RDLogin
Rivendell uses a sophisticated system of user privileges to keep track 
of which users have permission to perform what operations. These 
privileges are tracked by the system on the basis of user accounts. 
Creating user accounts and administering their permissions are done in 
the RDAdmin module and are covered in

the Rivendell Technical and Administration Guide.
^

Also, on Page 62:

Next, if it is desired to have RDLogManager try to insert material 
automatically from the Autofill List to  ensure  that  the  event  has 
the  length  indicated  by  its  parent  clock,  the  Use  Autofill  box 
 in  the ENFORCING LENGTH section should be checked. (Configuring the 
Autofill List is covered in detail in

the Rivendell Technical and Administration Guide).


Additional references on Pages 63, 64, 65, 67.

These all appear to reference another document.


So, where is the "Rivendell Technical and Administration Guide"?

Michael

Michael,

If my memory is correct, at one point there was a plan to have both an
operations guide which would cover the how-to-use aspects of Rivendell
(after a successful install) and a technical guide, covering stuff that
a technical / administrator would need to know.

The technical guide never existed much beyond an outline of things to
include in it and over time those topics mostly ended up in the
operations guide and the Wiki.  As a result the contents of what would
have been the technical guide got merged in with the operations guide.  

There are still some references to a technical guide from a time when
there was an intent to have 2 manuals.

Basically correct. The ‘Technical and Administration Guide’ did finally get 
written; it became Part II (Rivendell Administration) of the Operations Guide. 
See:
