Burgundaviamgalvin, no wiki team for you! ;) Just kidding. I approved you06:19
LaserJockBurgundavia: are there ever wiki team meetings?06:20
BurgundaviaLaserJock, no, they are merged into the great doc team meetings06:20
MadpilotLaserJock: wikiteam = docteam, pretty much06:20
Burgundavia*greater06:20
LaserJockok, just wondered06:20

LaserJockI did a svn status in my checkout of the repo and I have several lines beginning with a ? that are files in ubuntu/desktopguide/C/db/ what does that mean?07:11
MadpilotLaserJock: man svn might tell you :)07:14
Madpilotbleh, never mind, it doesn't... 07:14
LaserJockwell, I am looking in the svn book but I think I know what it means07:14
LaserJockbut I'm not sure what to do about it07:15
Madpilotsvn status on my checkout gives me a ? on one old .diff of mine that I haven't deleted yet, and two docs that AFAIK I've never touched - not sure07:15
LaserJockhmm, I don't know what happened to mine07:17
LaserJockMadpilot: do you have anything in ubuntu/desktopguide/C/db/ ?07:17
Madpilotwhen I run "svn status"? No.07:18
LaserJockat all?07:19
LaserJockI mean if you "ls" the directory?07:19
Madpilotit's empty07:21
Madpilotactually, no it's not, there's a dot file there - .svn07:21
Madpilotrun "ls -la"07:21
LaserJockok, I have 9 files in there07:22
Madpilotall I show w/ "ls -la" is one file, .svn07:23
Madpilotyou can delete the whole directory then run svn up if you think you've got stuff accumulated in there that shouldn't be there07:24
=== bojicas [n=bojicas@217.164.217.35] has joined #ubuntu-doc
LaserJockso svn up doesn't delete anything? or just doesn't delete files that have changed locally?07:26
MadpilotTBH, I'm not sure - it won't delete files that're created locally, like .diff files07:27
LaserJockMadpilot: ok, thanks for the help07:28
Madpilotnp 07:28
MadpilotI should do some reading on SVN & CVS soon, I want to start a personal archive for some of my own projects...07:28
LaserJockwell, I need to start using svn and svn-buildpackage for packaging and I will hopefully get docteam repo access soon so I better know what I'm doing :-)07:30
LaserJockI've never really had to use svn or CVS much other than to checkout source for apps07:30
Madpilotlikewise07:32
LaserJockthen I also need to wrap my head around bzr07:34
robitailleMadpilot:  why don't you bry bzr?  it's pretty simply to start keeping track of changes for some of your local files07:39
robitailles/bry/try07:39
LaserJockit does seem to be better suited for local repositories07:40
LaserJockbut I need to learn svn too since it is used soo much07:41
LaserJockI think I have one repo in svn and one in bzr  :-)07:41
Madpilotrobitaille: I'll have a look, maybe later this weekend - one app I use a lot (Screem) uses CVS too, so it would be nice to take advantage of that integration07:41
BurgundaviaMadpilot, are you going downtown tomorrow?08:43
MadpilotBurgundavia: doesn't look like it - I thought I was (I'm not working, anyway)08:50
BurgundaviaMadpilot, would you be able to swing by before 12 with a printed copy so I could photocopy some?08:51

tac0or something like that :|08:23
mdkeyou'll need #ubuntu for that, I'm afraid08:24

mdkeok I'm gonna try a new apache configuration on the help/doc.ubuntu.com, hopefully will make things a bit quicker08:30
mdkelooks better08:31
mdkeif anyone sees this, test and report08:31
crimsunseems pretty snappy08:32
crimsuncan't comment on prior08:32
mdkeslow as hell :)08:32
crimsunthen sure, I'd say it's a considerable difference08:33
mdkegood08:33
mdketricky to tell how it performs at different times08:33
mdkemaybe there is some kind of utility for that sort of thing08:33
Madpilotmdke: they both seem fast - faster than they used to be, I'm pretty sure08:34
MadpilotThere's still a CSS bug in both pages, though - one that Opera catches & FF doesn't...08:34
Madpilotin Opera the top banner doesn't touch the top or sides of the window08:35
Madpilothttp://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fhelp.ubuntu.com%2F08:36
Madpilothttp://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdoc.ubuntu.com08:36
mdkeoh, i'll have a look at that, thanks08:37
mdkei remember you raised it before, but I kinda left it for henrik08:37
Madpilotyeah. It's not a bug that FF catches, so I'm not surprised it's been ignored :P08:38
mdkei can't believe you use opera dude08:38
mdkeshocking stuff08:38
MadpilotFF feels crippled in it's default install - I'd have to spend a couple of days installing plugins - some of which might not work - to get FF to do everything Opera does right out of the box...08:39
mdkei like epiphany08:40
mdkeMadpilot, the css validates, which of those html validation problems is the cause, do you know?08:40
Madpilotnot sure, I haven't looked thru the entire validation report08:40
MadpilotEpiphany has some nice features - I like how it handles bookmarks08:41
mdkethe only thing i miss from firefox is the rss feed bookmark things08:41
Madpilotmdke: in the css file for both pages, add "padding:0" to the body tag as well as margin:0 - that should solve the Opera issue08:43
mdkeok08:43
Madpilotit's not exactly a bug, but opera & FF make different basic assumptions about padding/margins by default08:44
mdkei can't see anything wrong with the html08:44
mdkehe's used these php files08:44
mdkeMadpilot, ok i did padding:0 for doc.u.c, see if it helps?08:45
Madpilotyes, that's got it08:45
mdkegood08:46
mdkethanks v much08:46
MadpilotI always start w/ padding:0;margin:0 in body, so I forget that different browsers have different defaults...08:46
mdkei can't really be bothered with the html validation errors now... 08:46
Madpilotmost of them are pretty minor, and don't seem to be affecting display at all08:47
mdkeif you want to play around, I can give you a login, otherwise, I'm happy to have solved the css thing08:47
Madpilotthe "<link rel="icon" type="image/png...." tag shouldn't end in a / though - this is HTML, not XHTML08:47
=== mdke nods
mdke</link>?08:48
Madpilotmaybe later, I don't really have time right now - I should be doing other stuff aside from IRC right at this minute :P08:48
mdkehehe, ok thanks again08:48
Madpilotno, just end it with a plain >08:48
Madpilotlike the stylesheet link right above it08:48
MadpilotI'm pretty sure that that stray / is the cause of the 1st & 2nd HTML validation errors08:49

mdkeLaserJock, saw your question about the extra files in desktopguide, they are normal11:15
mdkethey're used for generation of the links database11:15
LaserJockoh, so when I build html?11:16
mdkeyes, i believe so11:17
LaserJockgeeze mdke your going to get them mad at me ;-)11:17
mdkenah11:17
mdkeanything with a "?" in svn means that you've added it but its not under version control11:17
LaserJockyeah, I got that far I just wondered where they came from11:18
LaserJockbut if a file is deleted from the svn repo it is deleted from my local copy unless I have modified it, correct?11:18
mdkeif you do "svn up"11:19
mdkedunno what happens if you've modified it11:19
LaserJockwell, it doesn't get rid of my local changes to the packaging guide11:19
mdkeah good11:20
mdkewant me to commit anything on that?11:20
LaserJockumm, not quite yet11:20
LaserJockI wanted to get close to what is already there, I just integrated an example that theCore11:21
LaserJockand if I add some stuff, I think I will be ready to commit when I get commit access :-)11:21

LaserJockmdke: I think some people have used the current doc.ubuntu.com packaging guide so I don't want to get rid of that until I have something that at least approaches replacing it. Does that make sense?11:24
mdkeLaserJock, sure, sorry for late reply11:40
