1. Contents and Structure of this loncapafiles.html

-Note: these files only refer to +This file contains specialized markup tags which encode information readable +by the LON-CAPA make/build process. This is meant to be "the master file" which +encodes all necessary configuration information to the associated make process. +The format of these tags is: +
<LONCAPA TYPE=type [otherparameters]> +

+

+Here are examples of all the different types of LONCAPA make/build tags. +

+The NAME tags associated with TYPE=RPM are:

+

+Data can also be attached to any LON-CAPA tag. This is especially important for files. This is shown by these three examples: +

+

+The METAGROUP tags for files are anticipatively limited to: NOTE, BUILD, DEPENDENCIES and DESCRIPTION. +

+

+To allow for viewing the tag information in a tabular HTML format, the make process generates +doc/loncapafiles/latestinstallconfiguration.html which +has the latest HTML presentation of the current LONCAPA tag configuration settings. Alternatively, +you can just view the internal tags of this HTML file. +

+
+

2. Software Package Information

+

+This section contains the actual LONCAPA tag information. These tags are probably not viewable with your +browser and can only be seen be examining the HTML source. +
