In Fedora 11, fedora-release-notes.rpm contains 5 documents, the same as Fedora 10. However, unlike Fedora 10, the release notes proper are built with Publican. The other five documents are built with fedora-doc-utils, the same as Fedora 10.

Each of the five "old" documents are handled the same way. The documents are:

  • about-fedora
  • homepage
  • README
  • README-BURNING-ISOS
  • readme-live-image

For each of these five documents, first, the document must be cloned from git, and the copyright and version numbers changed. The document is then built using f-d-u. In the case of about-fedora, it is also necessary to build the omf files, also using f-d-u.

Now the products of the build need to be moved into a directory named <document>-<version> in a precise arrangement. As an example, for Fedora 11 preview, the arrangements looked like:

 about-fedora-10.93.0
 |
 omf files
 |
 --- about-fedora
     |
     --- bn_IN
     |   |
     |   about-fedora.xml
     |
     --- C
     |   |
     |   about-fedora.xml
     |
     --- ca
     |
       (etc)

This directory structure is then stored in a tarfile named about-fedora-10.93.0.tar.gz
