# Updating schema files #
## Experimental features ##
Experimental features go into `${base}-next.rng`
Create from the most recent `${base}-${X}.${Y}.rng` if it does not already exist
## Stable features ##
The current stable version is determined at runtime when
__xml_build_schema_list() interrogates the CRM_DTD_DIRECTORY.
It will have the form `pacemaker-${X}.${Y}` and the highest
`${X}.${Y}` wins.
### Simple Additions
When the new syntax is a simple addition to the previous one, create a
new entry with `${Y} = ${Yold} + 1`
### Feature Removal or otherwise Incompatible Changes
When the new syntax is not a simple addition to the previous one,
create a new entry with `${X} = ${Xold} + 1` and `${Y} = 0`.
An XSLT file is also required that converts an old syntax to the new
one and must be named `upgrade-${Xold}.${Yold}.xsl`.
See `xml/upgrade06.xsl` for an example.
### General Proceedure
1. Copy the most recent version of `${base}-*.rng` to `${base}-${X}.${Y}.rng`
1. Commit the copy, eg. `"Clone the latest ${base} schema in preparation for changes"`.
This way the actual change will be obvious in the commit history.
1. Modify `${base}-${X}.${Y}.rng` as required
1. Add an XSLT file if required and update `xslt_SCRIPTS` in `xml/Makefile.am`
1. Commit
## Admin Tasks
New features will not be available until the admin
1. Updates all the nodes
1. Runs the equivalent of `cibadmin --upgrade`
## Random Notes
From the source directory, run `make -C xml diff` to see the changes
in the current schema (compared to the previous ones) and also the
pending changes in `pacemaker-next`.
+Alternatively, if the intention is to grok the overall historical schema
+evolution, use `make -C xml fulldiff`.
