Case Publishing Tool Information

Case Publishing Tools

The ARC Cases are published to http://arc.opensolaris.com/caselog using the following requirements:

1. The trigger that results in a case being redacted is now visible in the REDACTED.txt file, for example
   http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/PSARC/2009/543/REDACTED.txt:

    ercheck.html - Sun Proprietary

2. .ms files are now published.  To avoid false triggering of the redaction rules, any comment lines
   (lines beginning with .\") are ignored by the scan.

3. The redacted_cases.html file has been renamed to http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/unpublished_cases.html
   and now includes information on empty cases, of which there are currently 189. In addition, the status column
   in the yearly summary files also shows 'Empty' for such cases, for example
   http://arc.opensolaris.org/caselog/PSARC/2005/

Empty cases are cases where the case has not been redacted but there are no files that can be published.
Usually this is because the case has been marked as 'manual' without any of the case files actually being
opened - see http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/Community+Group+arc/arc-publish-historical-checklist for
the details of the process.

There have been NO changes in the way these cases are processed, the only change is that they are now
explicitly identified and reported.

4. The ignored files and directory rules have been slightly updated:

Ignored directories (case insensitive)
~--------------------------------------

Any directories with 'closed' or 'old' in the name.
Any '.' hidden subdirectories
Any subdirectories called javadoc, sc, SCCS or uirb

Ignored files (case insensitive)
~--------------------------------

Any files starting with ',', '.', 's.' or 'p.;
Any files ending with '~'
Any files starting with '#' and ending with '#'
Any files ending with .closed -closed .old -old .bak -bak .orig -orig
Any files with the suffixes .class .mp3 .o .wav

Other limits that trigger non-publication
~-----------------------------------------

Maximum case size:                 50Mb
Maximum number of files in a case: 1000
Maximum text file size:            1Mb
Maximum binary file size:          10Mb

Binary files are defined as anything that has a suffix that matches:

7z|bz2|eps|gif|gz|jpeg|jpg|pdf|png|ps|tar|tgz|Z|zip|od[bfgmpst]|ot[ghpst]|st[ciw]|svw|sx[cdgim]
