jeffschsegfault: i think i have a solution to your faq guide build problem03:53
jeffschcan i send you a makefile so you can test it?03:53

segfaultyeap03:56
jeffschok03:57
jeffschok, sent03:59
jeffschi hope it works :)04:00
jeffschif it does, we should find some spot on the wiki for it, so other translators can use it04:01
segfaultok, i'll test it know04:03
segfaultshouldn't the makefile have a call for xml2po?04:08
jeffschhmmm.... that would be good. 04:08
jeffschfor now though, can you do xml2po manually, and then use the makefile?04:09
jeffschi can add xml2po and then fix up any problems with the makefile04:09
segfaultyeah, just a minute04:10
jeffschwe should add an aboutubuntu target also04:11
segfaultthat's weird, i'm getting some segfaults while trying to convert some xmls04:14
segfaultConverting C/applications.xml...04:14
segfault./pt_BR.sh: line 3: 19098 Segmentation fault      xml2po -p pt_BR/pt_BR.po "$i" >pt_BR/$(basename $i)04:14
jeffschhmm...04:14
jeffschok, i know what it is04:15
jeffschrob stoffers just changed the faqguide to all one big file about an hour ago04:16
jeffschyou don't need to convert each one individually any more04:16
segfaultis it on branches/breezy?04:16
jeffschi think so. I don't have branches/breezy, only trunk04:17
segfaultlemme see04:18
segfaultChecked out revision 1801.04:18
segfaultnothing new04:18
segfaultwell, your script worked for the C stuff04:19
segfaulti guess it is know a problem in our translations04:19

jeffschopen applications.xml and see if there is anything there04:22
segfaulthumm, it worked04:24
segfault:)04:24
jeffschok good.04:24
segfaultwith some hacks, here's what i did:04:24
segfaultfor i in C/*xml04:25
segfaultdo04:25
segfault        echo "Converting $i..."04:25
segfault        xml2po -p pt_BR/pt_BR.po "$i" > pt_BR/$(basename $i)04:25
segfaultdone04:25
=== thoreauputic [n=prospero@wolax9-214.dialup.optusnet.com.au] has left #ubuntu-doc ["Leaving"]
segfaultso, i parse every xml file..04:25
segfaultthen i go up one level, and run your makefile04:25
segfaultit couldn't load some external entities, so i did some symlinks to bypass it:04:26
segfaultlrwxrwxrwx  1 segfault segfault    12 Sep 18 23:23 common -> ../../common04:26
segfaultlrwxrwxrwx  1 segfault segfault    17 Sep 18 23:24 menus -> ../../gnome/menus04:26
segfaultand ran the makefile again, and it generated the html translated files04:26
=== robitaille [n=robitail@d154-5-117-228.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
jeffschok. what can we do to make this easier?04:33
jeffschi can change the target to faq instead of faqi38604:33
jeffschi can add a target 'au' for about ubuntu04:33
jeffschi can add a LANG variable, so you only have to modify the language in one place04:34
jeffschis there anything we can do about the symlinks?04:34
segfaultwait..04:36
segfaultjust did a cp -r C pt_BR, and ran the make again04:37
segfaultand it built without errors04:37
segfaultand without the symlinks04:38
segfaulti'm trying to find where those entities come from04:41
segfaultglobal.ent04:42
jeffschhmm... you should run the makefile in gnome/ and not generic/04:47
segfaultbut the faquide is inside generic04:48
jeffschi know. but the makefile contents are copied from the gnome/Makefile04:49
jeffschall the directories are relative from gnome/04:49
jeffschabout ubuntu is in gnome too04:49
jeffscha big mess04:50
segfaulthehe04:50
jeffschwe have a lot of fixing to do after breezy release04:50
jeffschlive and learn :)04:50
jeffschok i have to go04:51
segfaultme too, tomorrow we can make new tests04:52
segfaultcya, and thanks for the help04:52

Burgundaviarobitaille, which docs?05:31
robitailledo we talk about the screensaver anywhere?05:32
Burgundaviadon't think so05:32
robitailleso we're fine  I guess05:32
Burgundaviarobitaille, the faqguide talks little about what is on the system. It mostly talks about what you need to add05:45

jsgotangcopinay, hi06:02
pinayjsgotangco: hi, how is up diliman?06:03
jsgotangcoup pa rin hehehe...seriously though, its been a while since ive been there, but the last time i went there, i did a talk06:05
pinayjsgotangco: the up campus looked so different when i went home last december, even my school (miriam/maryknoll) looked so different. nakakalito ang katipunan.06:06
jsgotangcoBurgundavia, what does Rosetta mean that it can't handle plurals?06:07
jsgotangcopinay, its so different now, with the MRT and traffic re-routing06:08
Burgundaviajsgotangco, I think that is a gettext limitation. I really don't understand it06:08
jsgotangcoi guess manual pot work would be the workaround instead of Rosetta06:08
pinayjsgotangco: yes, i tried driving there and what a mistake that was06:09
Burgundaviajsgotangco, I don't think that it is a rosetta thing. it is an underlying gettext thing06:10
pinayjsgotangco: my husband asked me if i'd be interested in translating documentation for ubuntu, as i am not technical, i told him i'll try06:11
jsgotangcopinay, are you aware of Rosetta? It's a web interface that allows you to translate06:11
tritiumjsgotangco, I haven't shown her anything yet...06:11
pinayjsgotangco: no i'm not06:11
jsgotangcotritium, about-ubuntu is open for translation, its a short doc. the faq guide has a plurals issue with tagalog06:12
jsgotangcohttps://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-doc/+translations06:12
tritiumjsgotangco, okay.  We'll take a look at it.06:12
tritiumThanks06:13
jsgotangcoa "steve torrefranca" has also contributed06:13
Burgundaviarob^, shouldn't you have killing the various files that bits of the faqguide?06:13
jsgotangcotritium, there's also the downloadable pot file but i wouldn't recommend her doing that06:14
tritiumjsgotangco, okay.  If she can do the translating, I can work the the pot file06:15
pinayjsgotangco: I'll do my best06:16
tritiumjsgotangco, is registration on launchpad enough to get her started?06:17
jsgotangcopinay, good luck! its fun06:17
jsgotangcoyeah06:17
tritiumawesome, thanks06:17
pinayjsgotangco: salamat po06:17
jsgotangcothere were a lot of translations of apps pulled from debian already06:17
jsgotangcothe d-i didn't make it though but is currently in sid06:18
jsgotangcoim going to grab a sandwhich for lunch, bbl06:18

rob^Burgundavia, ?08:02
Burgundaviarob^, you emptied the files of contents but didn't delete the files themselves08:05
rob^Burgundavia, no I didn't did I08:05
rob^does it matter?08:05
Burgundavianot really, just making sure that is what you intended08:05
rob^yeah08:06
jsgotangcoBurgundavia, i have the MS OEM CD here with me FYI08:06
rob^Whoever did the xinclude tags missed a whole chapter08:06
jsgotangcowhy is work being done in trunk?08:09
jsgotangcoBurgundavia, the WindowsXP OEM Preinstallation kit contains a ton of documents and scripts, but it has a basic document called Step-by-Step Guide mabye this is the one you are looking for?08:10
=== dand [n=dand@gw.datagroup.ro] has joined #ubuntu-doc
Burgundaviajsgotangco, ya, that is likely what i looking to replicate08:14
Burgundaviajsgotangco, but the whole kit would be nice to parse08:15
Burgundaviajsgotangco, how did you get yours?08:15
jsgotangcoBurgundavia, that's hard, I was browsing at the cd now and it looks terribly complicated really08:15
jsgotangcothe step by step alone is 48 pages08:15
Burgundaviaouch08:15
Burgundaviawe can do better than that08:15
jsgotangcowell the oem stuff has branding covered as well08:16
jsgotangcolike adding logos and stuff08:16
Burgundaviayes, that is other side I was looking at08:16
jsgotangconow if we had a working OEM cd, when a user clicks about ubuntu, it would probably show diagnostics and the logo of the oem08:17
Burgundaviahmm08:17
jsgotangcowonder where gnome can do something like that08:18
Burgundaviathe diags?08:20
jsgotangcoi think the same docs/apps can be pulled from microsoft.com/oem08:20
=== Burgundavia wants as little OEM branding as possible
jsgotangcobut that defeats the purpose of the oem08:20
jsgotangcoheh08:20
Burgundavianto really08:22
Burgundaviaa lot fo the windows oem branded stuff is extra programs08:22
Burgundaviaoems are in the business of services and hardware, not software develoment08:22
Burgundaviaremember, even the largest OEM is a minnow to MS. We can and are different08:22
jsgotangcoour best conservative target is just to make a guide for now08:22
Burgundaviayes08:22
jsgotangcoBurgundavia, what's your jabber id?08:22
BurgundaviaBurgundavia@jabber.org08:24
jsgotangcoBurgundavia, looks like our OEM stuff is non-existent in the help department i couldn't even find it on the cd08:30
Burgundaviawe have no OEM help08:31
jsgotangconice08:38
Burgundaviahence why I started thinking about it08:38
Madpilotin the context of help, what is OEM help, vs any other sort08:42
Madpilot?08:42
jsgotangcoa guide to have ubuntu pre-installed08:42
jsgotangcoits a system builder thing08:42
Madpilotah, OK. got it. 08:43
Madpilotso the target would be the computer companies themselves, and/or the resellers?08:43
Burgundaviaanybody that needs to put Ubuntu on a machine and sell it08:44
jsgotangcothe the computer manufacturters is a different level08:44
=== Burgundavia truly must crash, has to work at 7:45am tomorrow

dholbachhey jerome :)09:49
dholbachi asked this already some days ago - do you cover gnome-bittorrent on any screenshots or somewhere in the documentation?09:49
dholbachsomebody wnats me to change the menu entry to say something else09:49
jsgotangcosomebody is influential? =)09:49
dholbachsomebody is "Evandro Fernandes Giovanini <evandrofg@ig.com.br>" :)09:50
jsgotangcoim not sure if its in the faqguide...09:50
dholbachor in a menu editor screenshot or something09:50
dholbachif it isn't, i'll ask mdz/kamion for approval09:51
dholbachand then upload it :)09:51
jsgotangcochange the name to what?09:51
dholbachfrom GNOME BitTorrent to BitTorrent09:51
jsgotangconot sure how big an impact that is but documentation wise, it shouldn't be that much on an effort09:52
jsgotangcounless there are already finished docs that are translated09:52
jsgotangcoits only 1 string09:52
dholbachyeah, that's what i thought09:53
