Update documents to use latest NIST Metanorma toolchain
NOTE: Background and additional information provided in metanorma/metanorma-nist#300.
Info: List of changes
Clean up bibliographic entries
When multiple documents refer to the same hard-coded bibliographic entries, we can share the same entry.
- metanorma/ACVP@290584b70ae7faea7817b704a848630dc345bd32
Addendums (the only entry is SP 800-38A-Add) are now supported in reference auto-fetch:
- metanorma/ACVP@f0eba7c5ce2b8062f461715534bc4dde68b6eb3e
Drafts are now supported in reference auto-fetch:
- metanorma/ACVP@bfab8dcf0cb690029145560946f5130d61727afe
Some clean up of AsciiBib anchors:
- metanorma/ACVP@4bfca36c8ffac1f978a444a09790477b92fd913a
Migrate ACVP documents to NIST CSRC format
The full conversion to the official Metanorma NIST format:
- metanorma/ACVP@330308369a89033b6c5f4626a74bbc77ae6a21c0
There are differences from the previous workflow:
- Instead of generating output into TXT, Metanorma NIST provides the CSRC PDF format
- Output for the HTML version has the NIST approved appearance, including the official NIST header/footer.
Clean up GitHub Pages deployment of ACVP
I have also cleaned up the deployment of index.html
so that GitHub Pages now automatically generates the HTML and CSS automatically.
This implementation now keeps the NIST headers/customizations without needing to keep index.html
as part of the repository.
- metanorma/ACVP@d6341de436137253cdcb201e40d17502a4edf116
Notice the NIST headers/footers don't work right now. This is because of CORS -- the NIST headers/footers script only works on https://pages.nist.gov, and when loaded on other domains (except 127.0.0.1) they will fail to execute. i.e. when this is deployed at the correct location, the headers/footers will work.

WARNING: After merging this PR
After merging the PR, you need to do two things.
Update Jekyll's _config.yml
Because of how ACVP is deployed to a custom domain name at https://pages.nist.gov
, additional configuration may be needed at GitHub Pages after merging the PR.
You may need to add this config to your _config.yml
file in the ACVP repository, which is used for GitHub Pages / Jekyll to generate the site (the code is currently commented out at https://github.com/metanorma/ACVP/blob/d6341de436137253cdcb201e40d17502a4edf116/_config.yml#L5-L8):
# In _config.yml, add anywhere
url: https://pages.nist.gov
baseurl: "/ACVP" # the subpath of your site, e.g. "/blog"
repository: "usnistgov/ACVP"
Enter a Personal Access Token into the "Secrets" section that has access to Metanorma NIST
Metanorma NIST is only available to and accessible by NIST staff.
A GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) is used to validate access. An account that the PAT is generated from must already have access to the metanorma-nist
gem and the metanorma-nist
docker container.
NOTE: Please contact the CSRC publications team if additional access is required.
In the GitHub Actions workflow, there are two locations where the private token is used:
- https://github.com/metanorma/ACVP/blob/d6341de436137253cdcb201e40d17502a4edf116/.github/workflows/docker-build.yml#L15
- https://github.com/metanorma/ACVP/blob/d6341de436137253cdcb201e40d17502a4edf116/.github/workflows/docker-build.yml#L33 (this "step" is optional, it is only necessary if other private gems is used)
You will need to set this token on the "Settings > Secrets" page at usnistgov/ACVP, see this guide for details.
@livebe01 the current PR is failing due to the missing access token here: https://github.com/usnistgov/ACVP/pull/1318/files#diff-3414847e2ad632333f775cabb810f0dc0df61a570365df34750a08b00912fe82R15
Without this token the build will not work.
Hi @ronaldtse, we just wanted to touch base with you regarding this PR; this is still within our radar and on our docket, appreciated!
Thanks @jbrock24 for the update! This PR probably needs a bit of update, we'll do that and ping you again.

No problem. We'll let you know, thanks again!
Thanks @ronaldtse, we'll get it pushed through this time.
@livebe01 @jbrock24 this PR is now rebased and works. The above mentioned steps are still necessary and require your attention. Thanks!
Great, thank you!
