• Added PlantUML suffixes to standard list.

• Added COMBI_IMAGES and COMBI_FILES to debug output.

• Added PlantUML source files.

• Simplified commands to generate faded images, as the old version using composite stopped working for no readily apparent reason.

• Updated comments to reflect current state of TIDY_FILES variables.

• Added *.vrb and _minted* to TIDY_FILES.

• Changed tidy and clean rules to use rm -rf so that we can include temporary directories.

• Added standard variables PAPER_INCLUDE_PATH and LATEX_INIT_FILE and rewrote all LaTeX-generating XSLT calls to use these. ...

• Revised passing of XSLT parameters to remove arbitrary limit on number of parameters.
• Synced up debug variables across different make include files.
• Fixed some raw calls to various commands.

Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/Otago-InfoSci-Database/Handbook

• Added first cut at PlantUML rules.

• Added initial rules for generating images from PlantUML source.

• Added PlantUML to local configuration.

• Added documentation on how to roll calendar stuff over each year. ...

• Rewrote script to generate individual lecture dates for LaTeX, so that I don’t need to comment and un-comment different parts of the configuration for each paper.

• Switched to rsvg-convert from Inkscape, as Inkscape has become horribly slow (too many fonts, perhaps?). rsvg-convert comes with librsvg.

• Added tr to miscellaneous required utilities.

• Added ability to install questions and answers independently.

• Added NOSYNC variable to support installation without sitecopy synchronisation.

• Removed unnecessary white space.

• Ensured that all notes targets are dependent on figures (if present).

• Added --ignore-missing-args to rsync call for images, as there may not be any!

• Switched to rsync for deploying files, as I started getting “fchmod” errors when using cp to copy to the SMB share. Not sure why it used to work before, as it appears to be a consequence of the remote file system not supporting Unix-style file permissions. (Not due to different versions of SMB, as it was working with the same version one day, then not the next, and there were no intervening updates. Weird)

• Added rsync to required tools.

• Ensured that IMGDIR can be overridden. ...

• Added IMGDIR to debug output.

• Changed default for PAPER_YEAR to current year.

• Removed paper year from paper-include-path value, as not everyone will have their paper trees organised by year. Safer to assume that the paper root directory exists at the top level of $(ALL_PAPERS_ROOT); use symlinks to achieve this if not.

• Added paper-include-path stylesheet parameter to (Xe)LaTeX rules.

• Removed obsolete LATEX_OPTS variable.

• Removed now-obsolete LaTeX option variables for font and paper size; these have been replaced by explicit LaTeX options embedded within the XML document itself.

• Removed now-obsolete LaTeX option variables; these have been replaced by explicit LaTeX options embedded within the XML document itself.

• Replaced obsolete LATEX_OPTS variable with hard-coded default options for now (I don’t remember ever providing custom options for the handbook anyway).
