Automatic updates
Some of the editors of Project Runeberg have a background as computer
programmers. A close look at the internal workings of the makefiles
probably reveals that. This file is an attempt to document some of
the more obscure things that happen behind the scenes when you type
"make" in an edition. This text is aimed at persons with access to
the computers of Lysator.
.../texter/authors/author-code.tit/index-code
These files are generated when make is run in the directory of
an edition. Each file contains a single line, and each field on that
line is separated by a bar. Note that there is a file for each
author/index combination that exists. Example:
Mårbacka|mbacka|lagerlof|trans.txt|1941|wip|sv
The meaning of the fields are as follows:
- TITLE Mårbacka
- The full title of the book.
- INDEX mbacka
- The index code of the
edition.
- AUTHOR lagerlof
- The author code of the
author.
- LICENSE trans.txt
- Non-empty if there is a special license that this text is
published under. There are only a few valid values for this field.
- DEATH 1941
- max of DEATH(all-authors), DEATH(edition)
- OFFLINE wip
- If the file is offline, the reason is stated here in code form.
- LANGUAGE sv
- The langauge(s) this text is written in, in code form.
