ChrisHDoes anyone know how we can apply the patch from the -doc posting? I tried "patch < moreinfo.patch" but it didn't work. I admit I'm not the diff guru really.01:11
plovs_workChrisH, diff file1 file2 > dif_file1_201:14
plovs_workChrisH, patch file1 < dif_file1_201:14
ChrisHplovs_work: yes, we already have the patch. But it does not apply.01:14
ChrisHplovs_work: Tried that. Care to try it yourself?01:14
plovs_workChrisH, ok01:14
ChrisHSeems like patch hates me...01:15
plovs_worksivang, looks like were roommates, mate!01:16
ggiChrisH: Works for me with patch -p0 < moreinfo.patch01:20
ChrisHggi: Strange, I could swear I tried -p0. But it works now.01:21
ChrisHOkay if I check the patch in?01:23
plovs_workChrisH, did it work? from where and how did you apply it?01:25
cenerentolasorry ive been busy with the exams in the last 3 weeks... what about the doc server?01:26
ChrisHplovs_work: it's the patch from Nick Loeve for the moreinfo part. "patch -p0 < ..." worked.01:26
plovs_workChrisH, from the parts/moreinfo dir?01:27
plovs_workor from faq?01:27
ChrisHfrom the mailing list01:27
ggiplovs_work: From the faq dir.01:28
plovs_workggi, ok, thanks for reading my mind01:29
cenerentolahey ladies, have you got time for me?01:29
ChrisHplovs_work: Ah, okay. :)01:30
cenerentolaid like to apologize if someone felt hurted by my words: <cenerentola> hey ladies, have you got time for me?01:51
ggicenerentola: Uh, apology accepted. What was it you wanted?01:57
cenerentolano..01:58
cenerentolawell yes..01:58
cenerentolaafaik this is the only output i got from you...;)01:58
cenerentolaive been busy and stressed with exams [well the last one is on friday] 01:59
cenerentolaand i havent been able to follow the evolution of the doc team directives..02:00
ggiHmm, well. I've been kind of busy with essays too, but it seems we're all working on the book, which is now the faq in hornbeck's SVN.02:02
=== plovs [~plovs@195.13.248.82] has joined #ubuntu-doc
cenerentolayep.. but what im more interested in guides...02:04
cenerentolasince im setting up an italian team, id like to use similar templates, so that guides will be more easily translatable02:05
cenerentolawe're doing very easy and detailed guides, which enrico [as docteam secretary]  doesnt seem to be interested in, and the only ppl i have are involved in the development of the guides-framework and this is02:06
cenerentolawhy our knowledge about docteam ml is not updated02:07
ggiWell, easy and very detailed guides sound good to me. Why isn't enrico interested in them?02:11
cenerentolawell he didnt seem to be very interested when i posted the mail on ubuntu-doc02:12
=== lulu [~lu@host217-37-231-28.in-addr.btopenworld.com] has joined #ubuntu-doc
cenerentolahe got mad because i used the word "hominid" referring to computer science-impaired ;) [lulu:im joking, just to let EVERYBODY KNOW;)] 02:13
ggiWell, I'm sure we can assume some things about our users. There's a difference between writing newbie-oriented documentation, and writing documentation for say, cats.02:16
cenerentolano no..02:17
cenerentolai wasnt talking about ubuntu's user.. i was talking about the friends of mine, that i was supporting at the time, which makes a great difference: im not considered and i dont consider myself rude.02:18
cenerentolaand they call themselves HOMINID02:19
cenerentola...02:19
cenerentolasaid this i agree with you about cats... but i dont feel the need to agree with enrico but lets get back to work [i have flamed enough for today] ... ciao02:20
ggiWell, seeing as you haven't been active on the list since then, it might be a good idea to post some of your ideas again, albeit with slightly more careful phrasing. :-)02:22
cenerentolayou're absolutely right02:22
cenerentolabut EXAMS...02:22
ggiRight. Well, crack on with those.02:23
cenerentolaggi: i hate economics..02:23
cenerentolathey're introducing me to algorithms, presenting them as ver very important.. well those are more simple than the simplest of calculus 1, 02:25
cenerentolabut let me say im rotfl02:26
cenerentolaso ciao 02:26
hornbeckggi, you around?02:37
ggiyep02:38
ggiFor about five minutes, anyway.02:38
hornbeckI applied your patch02:38
hornbeckgood stuff02:38
hornbeckwell, I am out02:39
hornbecklater02:39
ggiGrand. I noticed that Nick also submitted a patch to the list, commenting out the <email> tags, so you might want to do that with my author entry too.02:40
