plovssivang, what kind of packages are you planning to make?01:57
plovsfrom your mail01:57
HoodsterHi guys, I am back for a bit to do a bit more work on the FAQ. A quick question. What exactly does the 'honorific' refer to exactly?01:58
plovsHoodster, hi!01:59
plovsHoodster, no idea01:59
Hoodsterplovs: Hi, What does Dipl.-Inform mean? (hehe)01:59
plovsHoodster, check out the faq from the repo with svn up01:59
plovsHoodster, dressed diplomats?01:59
plovs:-)01:59
plovsHoodster, i cut the faq in smaller pieces02:00
plovsHoodster you'll have to put your changes in by hand02:00
Hoodsterplovs: okay02:00
plovssivang, what is NM work?02:01
hornbeckhey plovs02:14
hornbeckcan you readd the faq stuff to the svn server02:14
plovshornbeck, hi! sure02:16
hornbeckok02:18
hornbeckdid you see the address change?02:18
hornbeck69.155.172.150/faq02:18
plovshornbeck my password fails02:22
plovsoh, let's try the address02:22
plovsno, password refused02:24
HoodsterHey guys, I am having trouble opening the new (just updated) faq.xml file with gedit. Is there something I am doing wrong?02:28
HoodsterWhat I mean by updated is that I did a svn up command02:29
plovsHoodster mkdir old ; mv * old (in the correct dir) ; svn up02:29
sivangplovs : ubuntu-docs package would contain all our production quality docs that we want to have available offline, like the faq, STJ , FirstSteps etc.. would install this docs in an appropriate place, and call up the scrollkeeper thingy to register all the docs.02:30
plovssivang, super!02:32
plovsHoodster, ok?02:32
Hoodsterplovs: No, However, I spoke incorrectly. The problem I am having is with yelp. Yelp crashes when opening faq.xml. Is this expected?02:33
sivangplovs : I inted to also maintain other software that relates to docs, yelp on of them. :)02:33
plovsHoodster, if faq.xml is not correct then yes it is suposed to do it, try yelp from Applications02:35
plovssivang, nice, so you yelp-maintainer, we want search! now! :-)02:35
Hoodsterplovs: Please forgive me, but I don't understand 'yelp from applications'. What does this mean? hehe02:35
sivanghaha! Well, if I through yet another feature request at shaunm, he would just make me a yelp hacker..he has this inent :)02:36
Hoodsterplovs: I don't see yelp in the application menu. I think this is what was meant, but I don't see it.02:36
plovsyou can run yelp by pressing the application-menu in the left upper corner of the screen02:36
plovsHoodster, it's called help02:36
plovssivang, would be nice to have though02:37
plovsHoodster, does it work?02:37
sivangplovs : yes, I think he's working on something that would be done by hoary's release, that is gnome 2.1002:38
plovssivang, good02:38
plovssivang, did you install a backported yelp, yet? or not today?02:38
hornbeckgoing for dinner02:39
sivangplovs : installed yelp from warty, yes.02:39
sivangbut I am now going to test the fix I think I have for the current bug02:39
plovsok, hornbeck needs to do that as well i suppose02:39
plovsHoodster, well? does it work?02:39
HoodsterLOl, I am getting confused, but loving it. However, my confusion might be clearing. What will running Help help me (hehe). I did launch 'Help' from the Applications menu, but I can't tell it to open a specific file.02:39
plovsHoodster, but it works?02:40
Hoodsterplovs: Oh, yes, the Help program does work.02:40
plovsthen faq.xml is broken02:40
plovsHoodster, try: svn checkout http://69.155.172.150/faq (in another folder)02:41
Hoodsterplovs: For instance, I can successfully run 'yelp trouble.xml'02:41
plovsyelp faq-guide.xml02:42
Hoodsterplovs: That did the trick!02:43
trickiesivang, how could i install the wart version of yelp?02:47
trickiesivang, i am currently running hoary02:47
trickieand i just can't seem to get yelp running02:47
plovssivang, trickie, put it in the wiki as well!02:49
sivangI am using a dirty workaround,02:52
sivangI changed my /etc/apt/sources.list lines to have 'warty' instead of 'hoary'02:53
sivangthen, apt-get update02:53
sivangapt-get remove yelp02:53
sivangapt-get install yelp02:53
sivangand I have the warty version...02:53
sivangbut this comes without warranty :)02:53
trickieyeah02:54
trickiei might just wait... the rest of my haory install works well02:54
trickiehoary rather02:55
trickiei don't have access to the svn repos, but i have a change to the ubuntu.xsl file in the FAQ that chunks the 'book' up into multiple files02:56
trickieshould i just send a diff out on the mailing-list?02:56
plovstrickie, sure, that would be good02:56
plovssivang, you can do this with pinning as well02:57
HoodsterHi guys! I made a few more additions to the java section of the install-issue.xml file. I am ready to upload. Should I give it a go? I did not change the file name this time.02:58
plovsdo you have a password?03:01
Hoodsterplovs: Yes, thanks to ChrisH.03:01
plovsHoodster, sure, try it03:03
plovsHoodster, well?03:05
Hoodsterplovs: I tried it and I got the message 'commit failed (details follow)' then 'MKACTIVITY of /faq/.....03:06
Hoodsterplovs: Not sure if it worked.03:06
plovsfailed is always bad...03:06
plovsHoodster, you only changed install-issue.xml, right?03:06
Hoodsterplovs: No, I also changed the faq-guide.xml by adding my name to the author list. 03:07
Hoodsterplovs: Do I have to upload both files at once?03:07
plovsok, copy those two files somewhere safe, rm * in the faq dir and do svn up, then copy paste your changes back in03:08
plovsi also made changes, maybe that is why it did not work03:08
sivangplovs : pinning?03:11
plovssivang, http://jaqque.sbih.org/kplug/apt-pinning.html03:13
plovssivang, http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html 3.1003:14
Hoodsterplovs: No that did not work. I will go ahead and email the files.03:14
plovsHoodster, no wait03:14
plovsHoodster did you do svn up?03:15
sivangplovs : you use pinning?03:17
sivangplovs : and the second doc I didn't see where it talks about it too.03:17
plovssivang, i used to on debian03:17
sivangplovs : ah nice, we should modify this for ubuntu also :)03:18
Hoodsterplovs: Yes I did, I did do svn up03:18
plovsyou use pinning if you want debs from woody and sarge03:18
plovsHoodster, now just open the files and copy/paste your changes back in, then svn ci03:19
sivanganyway, am headed to bed, night all!03:19
Hoodsterplovs: I did exactly that....03:19
plovssivang, night!03:19
HoodsterNight sivang!03:19
sivangnight fellow doccers !03:19
plovsHoodster, and what did svn ci do?03:19
trickienight sivang 03:20
Hoodsterplovs: First, it asked me to add a message. I did that. Then, it asked me for a password, but it defaults to my local login name, but that is not correct. So, I simply press enter. It asks me for a username, so I type the name that ChrisH gave me. Then it asks for the password, which I type it in. Then, strangely, it asks for the username and password again. Then the fault error message.03:21
plovswhat if you type the password after your login name?03:22
Hoodsterplovs: I did that once and I recall that svn kicks back to the cursor with a difference error message (can't remember exactly what it was though).03:24
plovsHoodster, just mail the diff then, i'll put it in03:26
Hoodsterplovs: Okay, I sure wish I could get it to work. I wonder if my username and password is no longer current. Was there a major change earlier in the day? Just trying to think of all possibilities.03:27
plovsHoodster, we have been using svn only a couple of days, my password at hornbeck does not work either :( 03:28
plovslater it will be ok03:28
plovsi hope03:29
Hoodsterplovs: I sent it. 03:29
plovsgot it03:30
Hoodsterplovs: I have a question. I was wondering if it would be desirable to add to the top of the install-issue.xml file that not only does the page increase ones skill in installing apps, but it will increase the functionality of the OS. My point is that it is more than just an educational exercise. A minor consideration I know.03:31
Hoodsterplovs: oops! I just re-read that page and it doesn't seem to have the beginning statement about skill.03:33
Hoodsterplovs: One last question and then I will stop for a few days (hehe). Will there be a way to search the FAQ?03:35
trickieplovs, you get my patch on the mailing-list?03:39
plovsHoodster, sivang said they are working on it for 2.1003:40
trickieplovs, i initially sent it from the wrong address03:40
HoodsterPlovs: Thanks.03:40
plovstrickie, yep, on the doc-list03:40
plovstrickie, thanks03:40
plovsHoodster, how many changes did you make?03:40
plovsi added your name and java03:40
HoodsterPlovs: Not much. That was all. Just the section under java and the name.03:41
Hoodsterplovs: Actually, there is quite a bit to the java section, but it all in consecutive lines, so it is an easy cut-n-paste.03:42
plovsHoodster, ok, do svn up and check it out!03:42
plovsdedicated to the hoodster03:42

HoodsterI am about to leave for my business trip, but I wanted to come back and congratulate you and the rest of the doc team on the great work being done on the FAQ01:23
Hoodsterplovs: I will do that before I leave. I take it that the username/password might have changed, thus I am no longer authenticated. When I do a svn up, nothing is updated and it returns At revision 2 message. It could also be that nothing new has been uploaded. Not sure which.01:25
plovsHoodster, you might be looking at the wrong address, we still use  http://ubuntu.workaround.org:8080/faq01:26

ChrisHIs the DNS server running on your machine?04:27
hornbeckno04:27
hornbeckgood god, I have to learn DNS now to :-)04:27
ChrisHDon't mean to scare you but DNS is a little tricky04:29
hornbeckI am sure I could get it04:29
ChrisHWho is authoritative for that domain? Cause if it's your ISP you either need to change the domain information or at least set up a hidden primary server.04:29
hornbeckI set them up at freebsdportal.com04:30
hornbecklike three years ago04:30
hornbeckI used to have off site hosting04:30
ChrisHIf you can let others do the DNS stuff. It can break a lot of things. And without a decent secondary server a single line problem can make the domain "unknown".04:31
hornbeckahh04:32
ChrisHIt took me quite a while to get it working. And as you remember just a week ago the secondary server failed which already cause a little chaos.04:32
ChrisHI've lost countless mails in the beginning until everything was set up fine.04:33
hornbeckman04:33
ChrisHIf it wouldn't be such a hassle I'd probably do hidden-primary again.04:33
hornbeckI will have to research it04:33

hornbeckI am fairly confident08:37

hornbeckhave not read that yet08:39
ChrisHSounds simple.08:39
hornbeckhave you done it before?08:40
ChrisHNot yet.08:40
enricoto migrate?  You just use svnadmin to do a dump 08:40
enricoand then restore the dump08:40
ChrisHYes... dump is done. :)08:40
hornbeckhow different is the faq from what I have08:40
hornbeckplovs uploaded most the files last night08:41
ChrisHhornbeck: I suggest you use all old revisions, too. So you better erase your version and restore this over it.08:41
ChrisHhornbeck: The dump is at: http://workaround.org/faq.dump08:41
hornbeckok08:41
=== ChrisH officially stops his repository now
hornbecklet me read this over real quick08:42
hornbeckso I don't screw it up :-)08:42
ChrisHenrico: Is it just "svnadmin load dumpfile"?08:42
enricoyes08:42
ChrisHenrico: And I guess everybody needs to "svn switch" to the new repository...08:43
hornbeckdo I completely erase what I had?08:43
enricoNo: svnadmin load should just add the things in the dump. I don't know what happens if you have things in the dump and in the repo, though (but you can specify a REPOS_PATH for the load oepration)08:44
hornbecksvnadmin dump myrepos | svnadmin load newrepos08:44
hornbeckwould that work?08:44
ChrisHProbably not. "dump" is what I did.08:44
hornbeckok08:45
hornbeckI am going to try this :-)08:45
hornbeckI will let you know08:45
=== ChrisH crosses fingers
hornbeckCan't open file "faq.dump/format': Not a directory08:47

enricois the new repository called faq.dump?08:48
hornbeckno it is called faq08:48
hornbeckthe dump file is called faq.dump08:48

enricoDid you say svnadmin load faq.dump?08:50
hornbecksvnadmin load faq.dump08:50
enricodo svnadmin load faq < faq.dump08:50
