Information Bulletin of the Czech Statistical Society

(IB CStS; backup; git experiments and studies)

General notes

• You will need TeX Live 2020 and most likely other stuff depending on the article (Python3, Manim, R, certain fonts from the internet, ...).
• bash d.sh is similar to make.
• bash e.sh is similar to make clean.
• Czech vocabulary for newbies as I do not plan to rename those folders/files/variables in near future: finalizace (final steps), obalka (envelope), zdrojaky (source codes), cislo (magazine issue), styl (TeX style), osnova (Table of Contents), stran (number of pages), prace (work), zahlavi (header), mustr (template), ...

Common workflow, git notes

cd <current issue>
bash d.sh
bash e.sh
cd ..
git add -A -v # --dry-run
git commit -m `date +%F` -v
git push -v
git lfs push origin master --all

It looks that downloading specific folder can be done this way, e.g., for the oldest magazine issue:

svn export https://github.com/malipivo/mal-bulletin-csts/trunk/2019-4

or

svn checkout https://github.com/malipivo/mal-bulletin-csts/trunk/2019-4

Before common git clone <repository> I need:

sudo apt install git-lfs
git lfs install

2020-05-13, my bandwidth (git lfs; large file systems)

• It's limited and png/jpg/pdf/ttf/otf files cannot be downloaded for 4 weeks.
• After changing .git/config I am uploading archive to gitlab and bitbucket next to github.

Git-dependent back-up with rsync

I'm using (with or without --dry-run):

rsync -aSvucR --delete --progress `git ls-files` <user>@<server>:<directory>

IB 2020/3 and 2020/4

🎬 Work in progress (unfinished)! 🎬

• I am renaming !finalizace to final-steps and !hlavni-soubor.tex to mal-core.tex.
• I added a new variable if I want an envelope (during editing TeX files) or not.
• I am commenting out all unused packages, definitions and commands.
• I added several comments to the core files (mal-core.tex, e.sh and d.sh).
• Learning git while typesetting these two issues.

IB 2020/2

This is a milestone for me as:

• I'm using TeXLive 2020.
• I've started using the hyperref package again. It cost me several headaches in the past, so I had turned it off at some point. Now, I am starting to use it again. It improves a web version, there is almost no change in the version for printing.
• I added metadata to the PDF file.
• I put first page as the before-the-last one, but that isn't the right way. The aim is to have page number of the PDF file equal to the page number on the web when browsing PDF. I have an idea how to improve it from IB 2020/3 on...
• The envelope is a part of the main document for the first time. The reason is to preserve the Table of Contents clickable.
• Temporary solution: I am not deleting !hlavni-soubor.aux and maosnova.tex file to get envelope right during the first run.

IB 2020/1

• I am using TeX Live 2019.
• From this issue on, I am using GhostScript for Black&White version of the PDF for printing as default.
• I added a note on envelope that we are using LuaTeX as an engine for typesetting.
• After some years, I've finally figured out how to use CSfonts (czechoslovak fonts) with LuaLaTeX (alternatives were: XeLaTeX, the unicodegen package, pdfLaTeX). I need Lua for smooth workflow, it prevailed my other priorities.

IB 2019/4

• This is my old style where I used LuaLaTeX with Latin Modern fonts.
• For some reason I was using exclamation mark in the top-level TeX file (!hlavni-soubor.tex; main file) and in folder !finalizace (final version).
