This directory -contains a new incarnation of Samba's smb.conf(5) Docbook XML 4.2 -sources. Note that the output might be unsatisfying untill all smb.conf(5) -parameters will converted to new format (see Chapter 4 for details). - -Content -------- - -0. Prerequisites -1. Structure -2. XSLT stylesheets -3. Usage -4. Current status of converted parameters - -Prerequisites -------------- - -In order to compile smb.conf(5) documentation from Docbook XML 4.2 -sources you'll need: - - - a working libxml2 and libxslt installation, together with xsltproc utility - - - a locally installed Docbook XSL 4.2 or higher - - - a working xmlcatalog to eliminate Web access for Docbook XSL - -The latter requisite is important: we do not specify local copies of -Docbook XSL stylesheets in our XSLTs because of real nightmare in their -location in most distributions. Fortunately, libxml2 provides standard -way to access locally installed external resources via so-called -'xmlcatalog' tool. It is working in RedHat, Mandrake, ALT Linux, and -some other distributions but wasn't at the moment of this writting (Late -March'03) in Debian. - -Structure ---------- - -smb.conf(5) sources consist of a number of XML files distributed across -a number of subdirectories. Each subdirectory represents a group of -smb.conf(5) parameters dedicated to one specific task as described in -Samba's loadparm.c source file (and shown in SWAT). - -Each XML file in subdirectories represents one parameter description, -together with some additional meta-information about it. Complete list -of meta-information attributes - -attribute description -------------------------------------------------------------------- -name smb.conf(5) parameter name -context G for global, S for services -basic set to 1 if loadparm.c's description -wizard includes appropriate flag for -advanced this parameter (FLAG_BASIC, -developer FLAG_ADVANCED, FLAG_WIZARD, FLAG_DEVELOPER) -------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Main XML file for smb.conf(5) is smb.conf.5.xml. It contains a general -stub for man page and several XML instructions to include: - - - a list of global parameters (auto-generated); - - - a list of service parameters (auto-generated); - - - a complete list of alphabetically sorted parameters (auto-generated). - -XSLT stylesheets ----------------- - -In order to combine and build final version of smb.conf(5) we apply a -set of XSLT stylesheets to smb.conf(5) sources. Following is the -complete description of existing stylesheets in smb.conf(5) source tree: - -1. [expand-smb.conf.xsl] Main driver, produces big XML source with all -smaller components combined. The resulted tree is then feed to Docbook -XSL for final producing. - -This stylesheet performs two main transformations: - - - Replaces <samba:parameter> tag by <varlistentry> one; - - - Generates <term> and <anchor> tags for each <samba:parameter>. - -The latter step needs some explanation. We generate automatically -<anchor> and <term> tags based on meta-information about parameter. This -way all anchors have predictable names (capitalized parameter name with -all spaces supressed) and we really don't need to dublicate data. - -There was only one exception to the generation rule in smb.conf.5.sgml: -"use spnego" parameter had anchor SPNEGO which is now unified to -USESPNEGO. This also fixes a bug in SWAT which was unable to find SPNEGO -achnor. - -2. [generate-context.xsl] An utility stylesheet which main purpose is to -produce a list of parameters which are applicable for selected context -(global or service). - -The generate-context.xsl is run twice to generate both -parameters.global.xml and parameters.service.xml which are included then -by smb.conf.5.xml. This stylesheet relies on parameters.all.xml file -which is generated by [generate-file-list.sh] shell script. - -The parameters.all.xml file contains a complete list of include -instructions for XSLT processor to include all small XML files from -subdirectories. - -3. [man.xsl] Our local copy of Docbook XML to man(5) transformer. It -fixes some annoying errors in official Docbook XSL stylesheets and adds -our tuned parameters. This file really belongs to upper level where it -would occur later, as we'll move to Docbook XML completely. - -4. [split-original-smb.conf.xsl] This stylesheet isn't required anymore. -It was used for initial split of SGML-based smb.conf.5.sgml onto a set -of per-parameter XML files. I left it in source tree just for historical -interest. :) - -Usage ------ - -1. Generate [parameters.all.xml]: - sh generate-file-list.sh >parameters.all.xml - -2. Generate [parameters.global.xml]: - xsltproc --xinclude \ - --param smb.context "'G'" \ - --output parameters.global.xml \ - generate-context.xsl parameters.all.xml - -3. Generate [parameters.service.xml]: - xsltproc --xinclude \ - --param smb.context "'S'" \ - --output parameters.service.xml \ - generate-context.xsl parameters.all.xml - -4. Process smb.conf.5.xml (for example, to HTML): - xsltproc --xinclude expand-smb.conf.xsl smb.conf.5.xml | \ - xsltproc http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/docbook.xsl - > smb.conf.5.html - -Note that in step 4 we are not saving preprocessed smb.conf.5.xml to -disk and directly passing it to the next XSLT processor (in this case -- -Docbook XML to HTML generator). - -For convenience, this sequence of commands is added into source tree as -process-all.sh - -Current state of converted parameters -------------------------------------- - -Only 'misc' parameters don't converted so far. - -All undocumented parameters are listed in doc-status file in of Samba's -docs/ directory. - -Any help is greatly appreciated. - |
