rantomy english is not very good, what i mean is how to price it12:11
rantoi have to write a java tutorial with full copyright12:12
rantoand i don't know how much is the standard man/hour price12:13
HrdwrBoBranto: in au we quoted $90/hr for coding12:15
HrdwrBoBsettled at $75/hr12:15
mptsorry for the joke12:18
rantowow thats a lot :D12:18
rantoits ok, no problem!12:18

jsgotangcojdub, who built/updated the install guide in the breezy iso?05:13
jdubno idea05:13
jsgotangcohmm ask the list i guess?05:14
jsgotangcoits the debian installer doc with an ubuntu flavour05:14
mgalvinjdub: Kamion i think05:15

jsgotangcompt, looked at your UbuntuHelp on baz05:35
jsgotangcowhat needs to be done there?05:35
mpthi jsgotangco, pong :-)05:40
mptthanks for looking at it05:40
mptHow recently did you merge? I mirrored quite a lot of changes about 14 hours ago05:41
jsgotangcoi haven't merged yet05:41
jsgotangcoim just followed your steps in the wiki05:41
mptah, ok05:42
jsgotangcosince i don't know yet what needs to be done, most of the issues you raised are yelp stylesheets05:42
mptSo, baz merge mpt@myrealbox.com/help--0 should get you my latest changes05:43
mptYes, stylesheet niceties05:43
mptSo, what else is missing05:44
mptThe Breezy-specific stuff, basically05:44
mptSince I only had the time+machine to consider installing Breezy as of Friday05:44
mptand afaict the installer CDs have been pretty dodgy since then05:45
jsgotangcoyes05:45
mptSo, stuff about setting up a firewall05:45
mptand connecting to a wireless network05:45
mptActually, connecting to the Internet in general05:45
mptI could find practically no information about that at all05:45
jsgotangcoso we're aiming for a Yelp-aware doc?05:45
mptexcept for the WiFiHowTo or whatever it's called on the wiki05:46
mptI'm not sure what you mean by yelp-aware05:46
jsgotangcoif it opens up in Yelp05:47
jsgotangcobecause Yelp is pretty dumb in other docbook tags05:47
jsgotangcosime05:47
jsgotangcosome05:47
mptyeah, I noticed05:48
mptThe to-do list on the wiki page are my biggest gripes05:48
jsgotangcohmmm05:51
jsgotangcois ubuntu-help my branch then?05:51
mptType "baz tree-version" (without quotes)05:51
mptthat'll tell you what your branch is05:51
jsgotangcojsg@pingu:~/ubuntu-help$ baz tree-version05:52
jsgotangcojgotangco@gmail.com/help--005:52
mptok05:52
jsgotangcoerr05:52
jsgotangcowhere is this?05:52
mptWhere on disk?05:53
jsgotangcoyeah05:53
jsgotangcoubuntu-help?05:53
mptIf you followed the instructions on the wiki it's in an ubuntu-help directory, yes05:53
jsgotangcook what's the purpose of the archives folder then?05:54
mptThe archives folder records the various archives you have05:54
mptFor example in my ~/archives I have records for mpt@canonical.com (my Launchpad work) and mpt@myrealbox.com (my Ubuntu Help work)05:54
jsgotangcook so actual editing is done on ubuntu-help right?05:55
jsgotangcoi see05:55
mptYes, you just edit the files inside ubuntu-help05:55
mptYou can use "baz diff" to see what you've done05:55
FlonneUnpaid overtime == bad.05:55
mpt("baz diff | less" if you've done a lot)05:55
FlonneI'll get back to work now.05:56
mptheya Flonne05:56
FlonneHi.05:56
jsgotangcoheh05:56
mptWhat kind of job?05:56
FlonneTechwriting, system document evaluation, and Python prototyping.05:56
mptSomeday I'll be good enough to be a professional tech writer05:57
jsgotangcompt, so if i do some changes, i request you to merge to my archive?05:57
=== mpt realizes he was actually a professional tech writer once, earning NZ$15/hour
mptjsgotangco: Correct05:57
=== Flonne isn't making too much... but all work is done with FreeBSD, so it's fine.
mptyou commit them (baz commit -s "summary") and mirror them (baz archive-mirror), and then I can merge from them05:58
mptAnd the same for my changes, you merge from those05:59
mptProviding you agree with them, of course :-)05:59
mptFlonne: How's the hand?06:00
FlonneIt's better. I also got a chance to play with Yelp and XSL at work, so hopefully I'll find the problem soon.06:02
FlonneThanks for asking.06:02
jsgotangcompt, i like the structure06:02
mptas in the sections and subsections?06:03
jsgotangcoyes06:03
mptModelled loosely on the Gnome User Guide06:04
jsgotangcoi noticed..the it still needs a lot of work though06:05
mptyes06:05
jsgotangcoi dont think this can be done by documentation freeze06:05
jsgotangcobut its a nice start06:05
mptWell, I guess that depends partly on the number of contributors :-)06:06
jsgotangco:)06:06
jsgotangcoi'd like to work on it and learn baz more on the process06:06
FlonneIt could be done if existing sources are mined for information and a few editors refine the content...06:06
jsgotangcoFlonne, yeah we can pull info from the gnome user guide06:06
jsgotangcosome from the faq guide being worked on and just detail it further06:07
mptFor me, where I've been writing topics the same as covered in the GUG, I'm pretty sure it's been faster for me to write from scratch06:08
mptbut I guess it might be different for other people06:08
jsgotangcoi'll see what i can hack up later and request for a merge when i see you06:08
mptexcellent, thanks06:08
jsgotangcompt, ok say we have 10 contributors, who manages the merge? only 1 person?06:09
mptjsgotangco: How long ago did you grab the archive?06:09
jsgotangcompt, last night, updated today06:09
mptok06:10
Flonnebaz up ~= svn up?06:10
mptNo, there's no mainline for "up" to work from06:10
jsgotangcoeveryone has a copy06:10
jsgotangcothere is no server copy06:10
mptright06:10
FlonneAh.06:10
FlonneI'll need to read about this system tomorrow.06:11
jsgotangcoso it can be a bit confusing at the start06:11
mptWhat usually happens, as far as I know, is that two or three people end up being the hub of the wheel06:11
jsgotangcothe rest would request then06:11
mptThey pull in contributions from others06:11
mptand constantly merge between themselves06:11
jsgotangcohow is conflict resolved?06:11
mptIt helps if they're in different timezones :-)06:11
jsgotangcovia the merge?06:11
mptYes06:11
mptWhen you do a merge, it'll tell you if there were conflicts06:12
mptthe conflicted files will be prefixed with "C" in the listing instead of "M"06:12
mptWhen you open them, you can see conflict markers which look roughly like this06:12
mpt<<<<<< TREE06:12
mptyour stuff here06:12
mpt======06:12
mptthe stuff you merged from here06:12
mpt>>>>>> MERGE-SOURCE06:13
mptSo for each of those sections, you can decide which bits should be retained06:13
mptedit the files as appropriate06:13
mptand once you've done that for all the conflicts, "baz resolved --all"06:13
jsgotangcohmm ok if you're merging my changes you'd do baz merge jgotangco@gmail.com/help--0 as well?06:14
mptexactly06:14
jsgotangcoi dont have a supermirror06:14
mptYou don't have an account on the supermirror?06:14
FlonneHmm... 123 updates for Breezy today. Maybe I should revert.06:14
mptjsgotangco: So is your archive public at all06:14
jsgotangcoit won't let me do it if i follow your wiki06:14
mpt?06:14
mptreally?06:15
Flonneamd6406:15
jsgotangcojsg@pingu:~/ubuntu-help$ baz make-archive -m jgotangco@gmail.com sftp://jgotangco@gmail.com@mirrors.sourcecontrol.net/jgotangco@gmail.com06:15
jsgotangcoPermission denied (publickey).06:15
jsgotangcoError reading from server06:15
jsgotangcojsg@pingu:~/ubuntu-help$06:15
mpthmmmm06:15
mptWhat's your Launchpad account name?06:15
mptFlonne: That might be a good thing :-)06:16
jsgotangcojgotangco@gmail.com06:16
FlonneThe first sixty were Xorg input updates. That's a lot, considering xserver-xorg isn't one of the packages to be upgraded.06:17
mptjsgotangco: Oh, you need your SSH key registered with Launchpad06:18
jsgotangcoi see06:18
jsgotangcoahh06:18
mptI think that's the problem06:18
jsgotangcoi haven't done that06:18
mptI'll put that on the wiki page06:18
mptsorry, I went over those instructions with the lead baz hacker, but we both missed that step :-)06:19
jsgotangcoYou need to register an SSH key with Launchpad to be able to publish your Bazaar code branches in the Bazaar supermirror.06:19
jsgotangcoright06:19
jsgotangcoso that's why06:19
mptFlonne: So now would be a bad time to install Breezy from scratch?06:24
mptjsgotangco: wiki page fixed.06:25
jsgotangcoalright ill try it out again now06:26
FlonneIt's still holding back three packages... including Python.06:27
jsgotangcoill just make a small edit and commit06:28
FlonneI'm not sure about i386, but I'm going to replace my 64-bit Gentoo partition with Hoary so I can work.06:28
mptjsgotangco: Committing you can do anyway, it's the archive-mirror that's the test :-)06:29

jsgotangcowow06:32
jsgotangcoBurgundavia, where have you been? roaming in the real world lately? :)06:32
Burgundaviajsgotangco, at my gf's place06:32
Burgundaviawhich means my machine stays on06:32
jsgotangcoBurgundavia, my laptop is being held captive by customs06:32
Burgundaviaouch06:32
Burgundaviajsgotangco, if they are asking for money, canonical should cover it. But you need to pay up front06:33
jsgotangcono worries though, claire to the rescue06:33
jsgotangcompt, if i always get a segfault, i wont be able to mirror and you can't merge :)06:33
mptjsgotangco: I realize that06:34
mptI ... don't know why that could be happening06:34
mptjsgotangco: Try using the ssh-add command06:35
mptand then baz archive-mirror06:35
mptThat'll tell us what's segfaulting, ssh or baz06:35
jsgotangcoi still segfault on baz06:36
mptoh, sucks06:36
jsgotangcothe authentication agent works06:37
mptIt seems pretty much all the Bazaar hackers are asleep/busy06:40
mptTry asking in #bazaar in a few hours06:40
mptSorry I can't help you further06:41
mptNo response in there at the moment.06:41
jsgotangcoits ok i'll just grab a bite first06:42
mptThere's always e-mail :-)06:43
mptBy default, "baz diff" gives you the diff since your last commit06:43
jsgotangcoyes i did that06:43
jsgotangcoits really nice06:43
mptbut "baz diff mpt@myrealbox.com/help--0" will give you the diff between yours and mine, regardless of whether you've committed or mirrored or whatever06:43
jsgotangcoahh06:44
mptAlso good for examining someone's changes to see if you want to merge them06:44
jsgotangcoi see your 14 patches06:44
mptIt takes quite a bit longer than a normal diff, because it's comparing across the network06:44
mptjsgotangco: Do you know how to use gdb?06:49
=== mpt wonders if Flonne will have the same problem
FlonneWhat problem?06:52
FlonneYelp is still not accepting XSL, but I'll continue reading while downloading Hoary.06:53
mptThe baz problem06:54
mptThough from "downloading Hoary" I guess you have slightly bigger issues to deal with :-)06:55
FlonneWell, I could install it from Knoppix, but I really want to get something done. :)06:55
jeffschmpt: I get Permission denied (publickey) when trying to create supermirror06:59
jeffschis that an ssh problem?06:59

jeffschahhh. silly me... i was looking at the launchpad homepage, and not MY launchpad page :)07:02
mptok, good point07:02
jeffschmight also be useful to mention that "baz make-archive -m your@e-mail.address etc etc" is all one line, and not two lines07:05

mptok, 2am, I'd better sleep or I'll be late for work yet again07:07
FlonneI don't seem to have encountered any problems while setting up a baz account.07:08
jsgotangcocreating a supermirror relies on an ssh key07:09
mptFlonne: I meant when doing archive-mirror07:09
jeffschok, i have to generate an ssh key: which is better - rsa or dsa?07:11

jsgotangcoyeah11:00
jsgotangcobut jeff's script needs fop11:00
mdkeif we can get it building and into the "make all" then it will get copied with the rest11:00
mdkejsgotangco, we can install fop on the server?11:00
jsgotangcoyou have root11:00

mdkewill you put the make target into "all"?11:01
jsgotangcoall our docs?11:02
mdkejsgotangco, there is currently a make all in the /gnome/ folder11:02

jsgotangcoi can try im not too familiar with the other scripts, only jeff's11:03
mdkei can do a separate cronjob if you like11:03

jsgotangcosure that's the best route actually i will just compare the scripts that we have11:04

mdkethe make pdf script seems to need fop.sh, so building from source should ensure that that script is installed in the right place11:19
mdkeor no?11:19
jsgotangcoyes11:19
mdkeactually... building it requires java11:20
=== mdke goes back to the binary
mdkejsgotangco, lemme know where you have it installed and I'll install it now11:20
mdkealso, do a "locate fop.sh"11:20
mdkelooks like I need java anyway11:22
mdkejeez is there no other way to build pdf?11:23
Burgundaviaxml2pdf?11:23
mdkei dunno anything about it11:24
Burgundaviapart of the xml2 package11:25
mdkethat does sound a bit more convenient11:26
mdkejsgotangco?11:26
Burgundaviajust call it as part of a script11:26
Burgundaviajsgotangco has used it for edubuntu stuff I think11:26
jsgotangcosorry i was downstairs11:26
jsgotangcono i used a Java ide for that11:27
mdkeif we can do xml->pdf without installing java and a non-packaged library, that would be a bit more convenient no?11:27
jsgotangcoit should be11:27
jsgotangcoi'm trying to install the binary on this machine and it just fails11:27
mdkeok can you let me know via email? maybe Sean will be able to help11:28
jsgotangcook i'll just email later11:28
mdkei'll set up the server this evening if so11:29
mdkei'll get it building html already11:29
mdke(also if you do a make all target, that would rock)11:29
mdkeargh11:30
mdkewhat does he use for building the html?11:30
mdkemake: xmllint: Command not found11:30
=== mdke grumbles
jsgotangcoon what?11:30
jsgotangcostyleguide?11:30
jsgotangcomake html works for me11:30
mdkeyeah11:31
jsgotangcowithout any other app11:31
mdkeseems not to use the same tool as the other docs11:31
mdkeit uses something the linode doesn't have installed yet11:31
jsgotangcoits basic docbook stylesheets11:31
jsgotangcojsg@pingu:~/ubuntu-doc/styleguide$ make html11:31
jsgotangcoxmllint --dtdvalid /usr/share/xml/docbook/schema/dtd/4.3/docbookx.dtd --noout --xinclude --noent --postvalid styleguide.xml11:31
jsgotangcoxsltproc -o ../build/styleguide/styleguide.html /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/html/docbook.xsl styleguide.xml11:31
mdkedude11:32
mdkethe other docs build, this doesn't. So it _must_ be using a different tool to them11:32
mdkebecause the linode doesn't have the xmllint progra installed11:32
jsgotangcohmm11:32
mdkei'll try and install it if you like, but it would seem sensible to build all the docs the same way11:32
jsgotangcowhat is the syntax of the other docs?11:32
mdkenot sure11:33
mdkeyou have to look at the makefiles11:33
mdkein gnome/ and kde/11:33
Burgundavianight all11:33
jsgotangcohmm ok11:33
mdkejsgotangco, anyway for now I've installed xmllint and it works11:34
jsgotangcolet me check this, i see some stuff on themake file11:34
mdkeok I've set up a cronjob to build the styleguide and serve it11:38
mdkefor now it is just doing "make html", when you set up a "make all" i'll change it11:38
mdkehttp://65.19.178.132/styleguide/11:38
jsgotangcook i'll test it first11:38
mdkecool, let me know via email11:38
mdkelooks great btw11:39
jsgotangcohmm there's make sg11:40
jsgotangcobut no pdf11:40
jsgotangcoits all html make11:40
mdke?11:40
mdkethere is a make pdf in the styleguide folder11:40
mdkeif you get jeffsch on it, he'll sort it out I'm sure11:41
jsgotangcono in the big makefile in gnome11:41
mdkeah11:41
jsgotangcohe probably mixed up on the 2 scripts11:41
mdkeif I were you I'd remove references to the styleguide in gnome/ because it is separate really11:41
jsgotangcoand forgot about the big script11:41
mdkethat is probably deprecated11:41
mdkebest thing is to have a "make all" target in the styleguide/ makefile11:41
jsgotangcomake html on styleguide goes into build as well?11:42
mdkeyes11:42
mdkeOUTFILE = ../build/styleguide/styleguide11:42
mdkeit goes into build/styleguide11:42
jsgotangcoright11:42
jsgotangcoso that works11:42
jsgotangcohrmm11:42
mdkeyep11:42
jsgotangcowonder what is wrong with the other make i did11:43
mdkewe can just email jeffsch11:43
mdkemaybe ask if he can build the pdf without using fop, via some other tool that doesn't require installing java11:43
jsgotangcoit built nicely on my ide though :)11:44
mdkeand then if he can do a make all target11:44
mdkesure11:44
mdkeif there is no other way to build pdf, then we will have to install java and fop on the server11:44
mdkei'm sure Sean will know the best way11:44
jsgotangcoheh11:44
mdkemaybe investigate this xml2pdf thing11:45
jsgotangcook i'm going out for a walk first11:46
mdkecool11:46
mdkesee ya later11:46
jsgotangcoi've been in this room for hours11:46
jsgotangconothing else to do11:46
mdkeheh11:46
mdkesee you on email11:46
mdkeneed to go and look at some more houses11:46

rwabel@RobertStoffers: why did you remove the ubuntuguide link? It's still a ressource! Could u next time comment the change you made06:34
rwabelwhy isn't it possible to revert the last change on the UserDocumentaion?06:34
highvoltagerwabel: ubuntuguide is not seen as a reliable link, it also doesn't offer explanations.06:34
mdkerwabel, it is always possible to revert06:39
mgalvinhighvoltage: why is ubuntuguide not seen as reliable? "many" people have found it "very" useful06:40
mdkeit is a good link and should be there06:40
mdkeand it is especially bad that there was no comment made when editing that page06:40
highvoltagethe ubuntu community says that ubuntu-guide should not be recommended. it says so somewhere in the wiki too.06:41
mgalvini don't understand why people, especially the nun don't like ubuntuguide, so many new users have stayed with ubuntu b/c of it06:41
highvoltagei'll search for the link quickly...06:41
mgalvinyea, the nun06:41
mdkehighvoltage, the ubuntu community?06:41
mdkethat depends how you define community dude06:41
mgalvinjust the nun say that iirc06:41
highvoltagemdke: true06:41
mgalvinmost of the community absolutely love it06:42
mdkeif you include the thousands and thousands of users of the ubuntuguide, you're gonna struggle to make your point06:42
mdkealthough we have some problems with the guide, i don't hesitate to recommend it for many things06:42
mdkerwabel, reverted06:43
highvoltagei don't know ubuntuguide, so i don't have any gripes with it. i know that i've seen many, many times, that people on the ubuntu irc channels say that you should avoid ubuntuguide.06:43
mdkeyeah for some things it is not great06:43
mdkebut for others it is06:43
mdkepeople on irc channels can get a bit high and mighty sometimes06:44
mgalvinyea the people on #ubuntu saying that are nun members and they don't represent the majority... of course it has pros and cons but the pros seem to outweigh the cons06:44
highvoltageah yes, the bot on ubuntu says this when you ask about ubuntuguide:06:46
highvoltage18:45 < ubotu> somebody said ubuntuguide was a set of instructions with no explanation. Please do not advise people to use ubuntuguide.  Advise https://wiki.ubuntu.com instead. The official FAQ Guide will be released with Breezy, stay tuned06:46
mdkebah06:46
mdkeif I wanted to set up Samba I would use it06:47
mdkeor something like that06:47
mdkeas I say, they get a bit high and mighty on #ubuntu sometimes06:47
=== mdke does his third system restore in as many days
mdkegah06:48
mdkemgalvin, does the faq guide need any proof reading?06:51
mgalvinmdke: yup06:51
mdkeis it ready for that?06:51
mgalvinmostly yes, feel free to start proofing06:52
mdkecool06:53

mgalvinjust about the whole thing is done06:54
mgalvinjava still needs to be worked, but i will have that done soon06:54
mdkeok marks some sections "review" and I will do a bit06:54

mgalvinok, i will mark those as soon as i get a chance... at work right now06:55

rwabelmdke: thanks for reverting, in my case there has only been revert links for the other changes08:15
rwabelhighvoltage: doesn't matter if it doesn't offer explanations. It's another ressource. It's no bad. And there has been a long discussion about it. It's an external link and not supported by ubuntu people but it's a know ressource08:16
highvoltagerwabel: i didn't say it was a bad resource.08:18
highvoltagerwabel: other people have said so. like i said, i have no problems with ubuntu-guide.08:18

jjesseshould i just post the errors in  an email to the doc list?08:49
