The release script I gave you invokes the command 'wkhtmltopdf'. This command<br>
takes as an argument the Trac webpage, for example:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Release/4.11/4.11.2" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Release/4.11/4.11.2</a><br>
<br>
The command 'wkhtmltopdf' is like a browser but it creates a PDF as output<br>
rather than to a screen. The release scripts creates a coverpage and joins the<br>
PDF from the Trac Release page to create the release notes.<br>
<br>
Please note, the way the release notes are currently done is not what this GSoC<br>
is about. The task for this GSoC is to write Python code to extract the needed<br>
information from Trac's RSS feed. I will send you some details off list and we<br>
can discuss this some more next week in our meeting, which I am looking forward too.<br></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I suggested looking at the current release notes only as a guide as to what generally should be in them.
