froudAfrican greetings07:51
plovsfroud: morning, i have a spare minute and am looking at the menu-stuff, where are the menu items defined?08:30
plovsyou told yesterday, but my registers gor reset over night08:31
plovsfroud: never mind got it08:33
froudWill sounder still be used in the future?09:22
=== froud adds About Ubuntu to User Guide
plovsfroud: sorry no idea, better ask on #ubuntu-devel09:47
froudyou ok with the menus now?09:47
plovsfroud: yeah, works quite nice09:54
froudGood, Hope to save loads of time at Hoary and on translations09:55
froudplovs, seems sounder will be used, but it is called Array09:58
froudSo I will update09:58

plovshow can i see with svn what changes have been made svn log does not show changed files10:17
froudplovs, try svn log --verbose trunk 10:19
froudplovs, this is why I want a mail list10:20
froudfor commit10:20
froudwe can impliment post-commit template to send messages10:20
froudplovs, do you use the cli?10:22
froudif you want GUI try http://esvn.umputun.com/10:22
plovsfroud: i use cli atm10:23
plovsjust wondered if there is a command like svn log with more output10:23
froud:-) --verbose10:24
froudIf you want a deb for esvn lok here http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/esvn.html10:24
plovsverbose does the trick10:27
froud:-) good10:28
froudnow you can wade through my sea of patches10:28
froud:-)10:28
plovsyes, now this is nice10:37
froudYes, di dyou know you can also switch between revisions10:38
froudyou can also switch between revisions in the branches (we donthave any yet) and the trunk10:39
plovswhen i finish this doc, then we should open a branch for hoary-faqguide10:40
froudYou can also merge between branches and trunk. Its cool for when you want to branch but dont want trunk to move to far away from your branch.10:40
froudsure, shouldn't we be working on hoary in the trunk?10:42
froudI mean warty is gone10:42
froudI would only do a branch in the use case where I need to make intrusive changes to the current version that could hamper other people in the trunk10:43
froudbut perhaps you have a reason10:44
plovswell, this is the warty version, i have not updated anything to hoary yet, but we should release hoary10:44
plovsso we might update this as well10:45
froudYes, the problem is that we did not do XML for warty, so what we are doing is Hoary10:45
plovsno, i would like to keep this for jiyuu0 so we can give him an updated html version of changes10:45
froudyou want to tag10:45
plovsi do? (i am a complete versioning noob, but eager to learn)10:46
froudtag is a version release preserved forever10:46
froudbranches eventually merge back to trnk10:46
froudtrunk10:47
froudBTW we do not commit HTML PDF etc to the repos10:47
plovsso then yes, i would like to end up with one hoary faqguide, as up-to-date as possible, one warty ... etc10:47
plovsno, we should export PDF html10:48
plovsand just keep the xml10:48
plovsthat's what the makefile is for10:48
plovsi suppose10:48
froudNo HTMl and PDF are good10:48
froudpresentational formats just nver reside in the src10:48
froudwe generate them from the src10:49
froudThe nice part is that Yelp reads the src10:49
froudLet me know when you want to tag and I will make a tag for the faqguide10:50
froudif you want to browse10:51
froudthe repos10:51
froudsvn list http://69.155.172.150/faq --recursive --verbose10:51
plovswhat we should do is having a seperate brach for hoary, but all the updates to the warty changes should go to hoary as well, but the hoary changes should not go to the warty version10:52
froudyes we can make a branch10:52
froudpeople can still checkout the branch10:52
plovsbut do i have to manually edit both versions?10:52
froudyou merge between them10:53
plovscool, this svn stuff10:53
froudI suggest you read this book as a reference10:53
froudhttp://svnbook.red-bean.com/10:53
froudbefore trying any of the stuff we are talking about10:54
froudIt gives example uses cases10:54
froudthat will make it easier for you to understand the relationship between tags, branches and trunk10:55
froudand how to manage them10:55
plovsi'll try it, asap10:57
froudOk just remember your revision mumber so we can role back if there are problems10:58
plovsok, but first i need to finish this version, then we need the makfiles, then we can think about branching11:01
froudThe makefiles are done11:01
froudor is there more to add11:02
froudtake a look at trunk/Makefile11:03
=== skyrider [~skyrider@195.128.178.150] has joined #ubuntu-doc
plovsit would be nice to be able to make seperate things (html,pdf) for seperate docs (user/quick/faq) with commands: make faq_html etc11:04
froudat present we only have html.11:05
froudyou can do make faq11:05
froudand it will build just the FAQ Guide11:05

froudwhy change the faq target to use userguide11:30
plovsit should build the faq not the userguide11:30
plovsi changed it the other way around11:30
froudok cool I see now11:30
plovsi can't find the error faqguide/faq2.xml:50: element listitem: validity error 11:30
plovsvalidating now...11:30
froudok the first problem is in UserAdministration..xml11:32
plovsthe html looks quite nice, but i think jiyuu0 original looks (partly) better11:32
froudline 50 , should be <listitem> <para> &login-screen-setup;11:33
plovsah, yes, and i have several of those (again)11:33
froudmenuchoice is not a child of listitem11:33
plovsit's just that validating takes so horribly long11:33
froudyour catalogs must be out of date11:34
froudwhy dontyou get an XML editor like Oxygen11:34
froudhttp://www.inwords.co.za/products.html11:34
froudyou can get a free demo to try it11:35
froudtrust me its good :-)11:35
abellibuon giorno11:37
plovslooking...11:37
plovsabelli: hi!11:37
plovsfroud: java?11:40
froudHeh, Heh, yes :-)11:41
froudBut big bonus on the editing side11:41
froudand validation etc11:41
plovsstill, 50$ ... i have to think about that11:42
plovsbut i'm downloading the demo11:42
froudSure you will love it. I preffer it to XML Spy and its a whole lot  cheaper11:42
froudThe support group is also good11:43
froudand it helps that I was the original author of the user manual ;_)11:43
plovsi mostly use vim11:44
plovsfor just about everything11:44
froudtried it, OOxygen wins hands down :-011:44
froudInline context completion etc11:45
froudeasy valdations11:45
plovswho removes all the empty lines all the time, the validator?11:46
froudNo Pretty-Print11:46
froudWhen your indentation is all wacked just press the pretty print button11:47
froudmakes things easier to see11:47
froudwell try it and see11:48
plovsdownloading java11:51
plovslooks nice12:03
froudTry editing on eyour files12:04
froudyou will see the inline context completion12:04
froudworks on elements, attributes and their values12:05
froudAlso the project panel on th eleft is a time save12:05
froudYou also have XSLT debug12:05

froudmuch shorter :-)12:06
froudplovs, wicked stuff hey :-)12:21
froudgeeze dudes - writing about Demand Driven Supply Networks is caving my head in01:06
froudHmm, interesting how Yelp uses the GNOME icons for admonitions. I like them much better than the docbook ones. Anyone mind if I replace them with those from GNOME?01:21
plovsfroud: i am seriously in favour01:21
=== froud scratches around. Knows he has a set somewhere. But where?
froudOk found them and they are now in SVN. Much better :-)01:25
plovsi'll update and rebuild the faqguide01:25
froudcool the new images will be used automatically01:26
froudnow all we need is ChrisH to work his magic on that nasty CSS01:27
plovsand then we have one doc finished and a nice base for the other two01:29
froudHmm, but I still see many empty sections. Was it like this in the last release?01:29
froudplovs, do you think we should enable toc generation on the chapter levels01:30
froudopps my mistake01:30
froudwe already did01:30
froudlooking good plovs 01:31
plovsyep, looks nice, now we only need to change the arrows and the home icon, i think01:34
plovsmany empty sections? only tipsandtricks is not yet done, the rest should be finished???01:36
plovsis my repo not the same as yours?01:36
plovsfroud: could you take a look in yelp, with arrow down you can go over the whole tree01:38
plovsfroud: everything but tipsandtricks should be there01:38
froudyes. it's just tips and tricks, well a large part thereof01:41
froudpit yelp does such a poor job of alignment01:42
froudpity01:42
plovsyeah, look rather bad01:42
plovslooks01:43
froudI have not had time to test it in 2.9.301:43
froudI think that is what ships with Hoary, right?01:43
plovsyes01:45
froudHmm, perhaps we should test it?01:45
plovssivang has it installed for sure, when he comes on line we should ask01:45

froudCan you test the faqguide for plovs02:28
sivangfroud: ofcourse :) after some breakfast :)02:29

plovsfroud: would it be a good idea to put some validationrules in the make-file?03:23
plovsif yes, these?xmllint --noout --xinclude --postvalid <file>03:24
froudplovs, well you can, but technically you should have a valid and tested source before doing make03:29
plovsfroud: where to put it then, i would like an easy way from cli to check my files, without remembering xmllint command line options03:30
abelliwhen does enrico,usually join ?03:32
froudplovs, write a shell script that takes an arguement?03:33
froudalso do remember the shortcut do history03:33
froud!###03:33
plovsabelli: enrico said he would be online late tonight03:35
plovsfroud: i know, but it would be nice to have it in a central place, so everybody who adds stuff can easily validate03:36
plovsi'll put a test in if it's no good i'll remove it03:37
froudplovs, just create a script like xmllint --noout --xinclude --postvalid $103:37
plovsfroud:  done that already03:38
plovsi was just thinking, you told me to validate, if you hadn't i would not even have thought of it. so what about the next guy?03:39
froudsure03:40
plovsbtw, i\m more or less finished, some things need to be added still, but mostly its done03:41
froudhey you wiped my entities from this morning?03:41
plovsi hope not???03:41
froudyes there gona03:41
plovsi am not the entity wiping kinda guy03:41

froudI could also just reapply the whole patch03:48
froudbut that would be overkill03:48
froudand I would have to make sure I dont break something in later patches03:48
plovssvn is quite nice i must say03:48
froudbetter than cvs03:48
froudalthough I have been playing with arch and its growing on me by the day :-)03:49

abelliplovs: can you restore that page..03:51
froudperhaps, we'll see03:51
abelliwell "could you please, kindly, restore that page?"03:51
plovsabelli: no i am in the server room, on cli, sorry03:52
