jbaileyI pinged mgalvin earlier, but he's ina meeting.05:51
jbaileyI don't have information on the SVN and such, so I need help getting started.05:51
jsgotangcono worries i can fill him up its almost 12am here05:51
jbaileyAh.  Where are you guys05:52
jsgotangcoim in manila05:53
jsgotangcohmm where is that wiki page05:53
jsgotangcohold on05:53
jsgotangco svn checkout https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk ubuntu-doc05:54
jsgotangcobut its around 200MB at the moment05:54
=== jsgotangco makes a mental note to clean this up after freeze
jbaileyFetching05:59
jbaileyGotit, lovely.06:03
jbaileySo, erm.  This gets packaged up? =)06:03
jsgotangcowell not everything06:04
jsgotangcomgalvin did test some packaging on this 06:04
jsgotangcolet me check my archive hold on06:04
jbaileyTx.06:04
jsgotangcognome/aboutubuntu/C/about-ubuntu.xml is the one i updated a few hours ago06:06
jsgotangcobut i haven't updated the OMF files for scrollkeeper i have no idea at tho moment how that works06:06
jsgotangcobut the team had agreed before to ship the documents in html06:07
jbaileyBut should they be generated in SVN or at the time the source package is built?06:08
jbaileyI'd be inclined to do it at build time to minimize the hassle of remembering to do it in SVN.06:08
jbaileyBut I have a personal dislike of keeping generated files in SVN.06:08
jsgotangcono if i remember it right, when i was just translating before in hoary i had to do the omf myself06:08
jsgotangcoi actually have no clue at the moment on our best recourse on this matter :(06:09
jsgotangcothis release is quite disastrous for us imo06:10
jbaileyIs there an existing documentation package for Hoary that I can model on?06:10
jbaileyI can totally take care of all of the packaging issues if youhave stuff for me. =)06:10
jsgotangcowhat do we need exactly aside from the actual written documents?06:11
jsgotangcoi have no idea..i wasnt involved in the packaging in hoary before..06:12
jbaileyI don't know.  silbs mentioned an about page, but I was hoping that you could tell me what that meant. =)06:12
jbaileyI can ping her or mdz on it if we need.06:13
jbaileyRight, I had heard that there had been a turnover in the documentation team.06:13
jsgotangcowell the about page is on gnome/aboutubuntu/C06:13
jbaileyAh, it's a glade replacement?06:14
jsgotangcowell there is really not that much of a team to speak of :(06:14
jsgotangcoall the major xml docs are readable in yelp06:17
jbaileyjsgotangco: Are you around for a little bit?06:22
jbaileyI need to go get food and such.06:22
jsgotangcosure06:22
jsgotangcoi'll probably need to sleep in an hour or so06:22
jbailey'kay.  If you're asleep when I get back, when are you back online?06:22
jbaileyI can adapt to whatever you need.06:23
jsgotangcowhat timezone are you in?06:23
jbaileyEastern Canada (-0400)06:23
jsgotangcolemme check06:23
jsgotangcoim in +8 im sure we'll cross paths06:24
jbaileyWell, with feature freeze being tomorrow, I'm willing to hop around to make it work.06:24
jbaileyI'll try to put together a package or somethig in the meantime.06:24
jsgotangcookay sorry for the short notice i was surprised myself by silbs' email06:25
jbaileyIt's all good. =)  I 'll do whatever it takes to make this work.06:26
jbaileySo let me know how I can best help you.  I just forgot to eat breakfast this morning so I'm getting spacy. =)06:26

jbaileyjsgotangco said that you had already done some packaging work for the docteam.  silbs has emailed us asking that it be in for Preview Freeze in the next day or so.08:07
jbaileySo I'm trying to start from whatever exists now and get it into the archive.08:07
=== thoreauputic [n=prospero@wolax9-215.dialup.optusnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mgalvinok, are you aware that it was decided a while that we were are going to ship html not xml?08:09
mgalvini don't know how this will affect yelp yet08:09
mgalvini know it points to the xml files, which will not be there anymore08:09
jbaileyRight, but I don't quite know what 'ship' means in this context.08:09
jbaileyAre you planning on keeping the generated HTML files in the svn?  Do I generate those at package build time?08:10
mgalvinwhen the package is build the docbook xml is translated to html and the html is the only thing in the package08:10
mgalvinnot in svn or anything, the build process does the translation08:10
jbaileyRight, so that sounds simple enough.08:11
mgalvinyup, have you been able to get the current pkg to build?08:11
mgalvinits not quite standard b/c some of the docs (the faqguide) does not live in what would be a normal place08:13
=== thoreauputic [n=prospero@wolax9-215.dialup.optusnet.com.au] has joined #ubuntu-doc
jbaileymgalvin: I just did the checkout a little bit ago.08:21
jbaileySo far I didn't see a debian/ directory.  Is the package buried in this checkout somewhere?08:21
jbailey=)08:21
mgalvinjbailey: its inside the gnome dir08:29
mgalvinb/c there is also the kde package which is inside kde08:29
jbaileyAh, okay, the docs are per brnading  then?08:29
mgalvinyes, and some docs are profiled so that when they get built the automagically know to say "Ubuntu" or "Kubuntu" etc...08:30
jbaileyEvil.08:34
jbaileyDoing that in a way that translates well must suck.08:34
mgalvinright now its really only the faqguide so its not to bad since most of it is common to both, but yea, it can be a little wierd at times08:36
=== jbailey does a build
jbaileymgalvin: What all do you think is left to do then?  Anything I can help with?08:42
jbaileyWow, this is a noisy build.08:42
mgalvinwell i had gone through and cleaned up the debian/ stuff to make it work the way we need... i think what we need to make sure the other apps like yelp, firefox and such know where the docs are for display08:45
mgalvinor to make sure we put docs where those apps expect them to be08:45
mgalvinplus, we need the package uploaded, i don't have upload privs08:46
jbaileyCool, that's easy enough.  Do you have a list of the apps that we should care about?08:46
jbaileyI can do the package upload.08:46
mgalvincool08:46
jbaileyIf you're happy with where the gnome/ and kde/ packages are, I'll upload them now to get them through NEW.08:46
mgalvini don't have a comprehensive list yet, i could put one together, but off the top of my head, its a least yelp firefox and epihany08:47
jbailey'k.  But you're otherwise happy with it?08:53
mgalvinI am pretty happy with the packages as they stand now, but i know yelp will not know where to find the docs... i just don't want to break anything ;)08:55
jbaileyI'd like to get it through NEW if I could, we can tweak it up a bit later.  I can also do any fine adustments for locations and keeping FF/ and ephy happy.  I don't know yelp, but I'm sure I could figure it out.08:55
jbaileyThis might come under my BrandingForDerivative hat anyway, so  should probably know this. =008:55
