Keybukhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/merge/review/qt-x11-free/04:31
Mithrandirok, and for for, who still isn't up-to-date wrt mail, that means I should do what?  Review the patches and upload manually or request sync?04:34
elmoif there are outstanding ubuntu changes, merge them and upload - if there's none and the package should be reverted to sid, mail/irc me04:40
Keybukhttp://people.ubuntu.com/~scott/merge/README  explains what the .dropped and .patch files mean04:40
Keybukbasically stuff in .dropped is Debian changes that couldn't be merged04:41
Mithrandirok, and we don't care about changelogs and such?04:41

enricoHello.  There's some interest in the doc group to try out some arch.  I still haven't clear how repositories work in arch, but would it be possible to have an arch playground we could use to practice a bit with it before we start doing community editing of big documents?11:04
hornbeckarch would be good for the Learning Ubuntu book11:05
hornbeckfor the docbook part of it11:05
=== nictuku [nictuku@nictuku.user] has joined #ubuntu-devel
mdzhornbeck: I don't follow11:06
mdzhornbeck: what is hoary?11:06
hornbeckmdz: you said that inotify was going into Hoary11:07
hornbeckmdz: I was saying yes, but it was going in Hoary and not Warty11:07
hornbeckmdz: I had that package so people could use beagle now with Warty11:07
mdzhornbeck: your package is not going into warty, either11:08
hornbeckmdz: I know, but I was hosting so people could use it11:09
hornbeckhmm, I think something is missing here11:09
mdzhornbeck: they could also use the hoary package, which we host11:09
hornbeckmdz: ok11:09
hornbeckmdz: I was just responding to your comment to me above :-)11:10
mdzfor now, at least. at some point in the future, the hoary kernel may no longer be installable on warty11:10
enricoOk.  No answer about my arch question.  Could someone please tell me where to ask instead?11:10
hornbeckmdz: I was just trying to help people with using beagle11:10
mdzenrico: the beauty of arch is that it's decentralized.  anyone who wants to try it out can set it up on their own11:10
enricomdz: yes, but how does it work when you want to put the results together?11:11
hornbeckmdz: I get a ton of email everyday about the beagle howto and I know they all used the kernel I was hosting11:11
mdzenrico: it works11:11
enricomdz: how?11:11
hornbeckmdz: I was just looking for a new place to host it and I was told to as you11:11
mdzenrico: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/tutorial/arch.html11:11
mdzenrico: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-arch-users/2003-09/msg00034.html11:11
enricomdz: I mean, do you need a central repository somewhere, or you do some peer-to-peer swap of patches, or 11:11
mdzenrico: those are two good starting points fo rarch11:12
mdzfor arch11:12
enricomdz: ok.  Besides tutorials, you mean that if we want to have a playground somewhere we have to set it up in some machine of ours?11:12
mdzenrico: an arch archive is just a directory tree, there is nothing to set up11:12
mdzyou just make it available via http11:13
enricoAnd how do you write in it? DaV?11:13
mdzthat is one option, yes11:13
hornbeckmdz: I think he was wanting something within the ubuntu servers11:13
mdzenrico: to answer your question, #arch is the place to ask general questions about arch11:13
mdzhornbeck: I know, and I am explaining that it is not necessary.  this is a fundamental difference between arch and (e.g.) CVS which is not obvious at first11:14
hornbeckmdz: ok11:14
enricomdz: so, we don't need any central place to do group work on something 11:15
enricomdz: it's supposed to just work11:15
hornbeckenrico: I am looking at hosting right now11:15
hornbeckenrico: if need be I will set up a host for it all11:15
enricohornbeck: you mean, a private hosting for yourself?11:16
hornbeckenrico: yes, but i could set up the central place for the doc team11:16
hornbeckif it is needed11:16
enricoAccording to the mail mdz just posted a link to, people pull changes from each other's trees11:16
enricoWhich would mean that people should have a tree available via http11:17
mdzright11:17
mdzyou could decide that one of them is the "official" mainline11:17
hornbeckI guess I will have to read on that11:17
hornbeckmdz: would you not have to still have a web hosting than?11:17
mdzand collect patches from everyone into that11:17
enricomdz: if people don't have a permanent http connection, I imagine people can have an official tree somewhere11:17
hornbeckso others could get to it11:17
mdzhornbeck: you need some means to transport the patches to others, yes11:18
hornbeckok11:18
mdzif you expect to share them11:18
enricomdz: I mean, having a public web server could be quite a high requirement on people11:18
hornbeckright11:18
hornbeckenrico: I will host a central place for patches once i find hosting11:18
hornbeckthis crap is expensive :-)11:19
mdzenrico: you have a long way to go with arch before you get to that point, and you could very well decide that it does not meet your needs11:19
mdzenrico: the first step is to start using arch on your own, and then later, if it becomes a part of the way that you work, we can decide on a hosting arrangement if needed11:19
enricomdz: I see.11:20
hornbeckmdz: what we are needing is a place for people to place files and be able to all work on them11:20
hornbeckmdz: I guess like cvs11:20
moyogois there a way to switch locale without login out?11:20
moyogoglobally i mean11:20
hornbeckthere are a couple bigger files we have been emailing back and forth11:20
mdzarch is very much overkill as a file sharing mechanism, even more so that CVS is11:21
mdzmoyogo: #ubuntu is the place for support11:21
moyogomdz: sorry, and thanks ;)11:21
hornbeckmdz: we have directories of stuff to be worked through11:21
hornbecksuch as the gnome2-user-manual11:21
hornbeckalso the "Learning Ubuntu Linux" book that is being worked on11:21
enricomdz: well, I'll try and create an arch tree with some document, then I'll try and put the tree in some HTTP server for people to add something to it11:21
enricomdz: does it sound like a good approach for trying out some cooperative document writing?11:22
enricomdz: (where "add something" means pull the tree and add something locally)11:22
mdzenrico: my honest opinion is that arch will not be suitable for you at this time11:22
enricomdz: you mean, we should stick to the wiki?11:23
mdzenrico: where possible, yes  but obviously that won't work for things like the gnome2-user-manual11:24
enricomdz: so, what do you suggest for that instead of arch?11:24
hornbeckmdz: we are going to start working on alot of bigger offline docs11:24
mdzenrico: I don't know of anything which would be a very good solution11:26
hornbeckcvs?11:26
mdzwhen working on documentation, it is important for the barrier to entry to be low11:26
hornbeckthat is what gnome uses for those same docs11:26
mdzare you going to require everyone who might work on documentation to learn CVS?11:26
enricomdz: subversion, then11:26
Clintugh11:27
enricomdz: we're talking about big documents, which can have a sligtly higher barrier.  Subversion is currently the VCS with the lowest barrier11:27
mdzenrico: do you find subversion easier for non-technical users to learn than CVS?11:27
enricomdz: yes, so far11:27
ClintHow peculiar.11:28
mdzI find it rather more complex11:28
mdzbut I haven't tried rapidsvn11:28
enricomdz: did you have different experiences?11:28
=== enrico doesn't want to start a flamewar
hornbeckcvs is not that hard11:28
mdzit seems that what you want is like a whiteboard11:29
hornbecka small tutorial for how to make .diff's than send them to the -doc mailing list would not be hard for someone to learn11:29
mdzwhere CVS is a filing cabinet11:29
mdzsubversion is a database11:29
enricoThing is, we were talking about doing group writing, and for big documents we put off both wiki and all version control systems.  Either someone has other suggestions, or I'm fine with the discussion11:29
mdzand arch is a global satellite telecommunications network11:29

mdzenrico: why not try something and see if it works?  I do not have a perfect solution prepared for you11:33
nictukuwhat kind of "bugs" are supposed to go into the errata site section?11:34
Clintmdz: if I give you instructions on how to check out the "HEAD" of a repo, make some changes, and generate a diff to send upstream, it's going to be basically the same few lines adjusted for the syntax of the three revision control systems being discussed11:34
mdznictuku: TBD11:35
enricomdz: I wasn't looking for the perfect solution.  However, I didn't really like the mood of a "there isn't anything out there for you".  But maybe today I'm not in a good mood.11:35
