Kyralno06:32
KyralI mean it doesn't work06:32
Kyralbut changing it to "Ubuntu.mac" works :p06:32

Burgundaviacan't, no edit rights06:34
Burgundaviaplus lots of people have linked to Ubuntu.Mac now06:35
KyralWhich doesn't exist lol06:36

Burgundaviabloody hell, 2 of the top for hits on digg under linux/unix are that ubuntguide reborn and the .Mac stuff06:42
robitaillewhich tells you that the masses think they like "easy/simple" guides and a concept like the .Mac for linux...06:43

Burgundaviastupidity of the crowd, anyone?06:44
=== Burgundavia is in a foul mood
Kyralnwo I am too06:45
Burgundaviasomeone commented at linuxtoday about the dangers of doing all your thinking in the open06:45
KyralWe were SUPPOSED to do our lab build on Ubuntu06:45
KyralI had metapackages and everything rerady06:45
Kyraland in like an hour, the day before we are supposed to install the build, they change it over to Fedora06:46
Burgundaviaugh, you poor man06:46
=== Burgundavia is subjected to FC4 at work
KyralI wanna SCREEM06:46
KyralI wanna KILL them06:46
KyralIts like "I did all this work, then then BAM!"06:47
robitailleI'm the other way at work, we are finally getting a couple of Ubuntu boxes...the rest of the linux boxes  are Mandrake06:47
Burgundaviawho made the decision?06:47
Kyralthe team lead06:47
Burgundaviawhy so late?06:47
KyralI HAVE NO IDEA06:47
Burgundaviarobitaille, Ubuntu or Kubuntu?06:47
Kyral"there were some issues about Devel stuff"06:47
Burgundaviathe guys at VLUG attack me all the time, claiming that they cannot get a kernel to compile on Ubuntu06:48
BurgundaviaI told them to go use Gentoo and shut up06:48
robitailleUbuntu + kde-desktop on top;  users will be able to choose06:48
Kyralthats bullshit06:48
KyralI custom compiled 15 kernels06:48
Kyralwith GCC 4 mind you :D06:48
KyralWe target Joe Sixpack so much that we annilate the geeks06:49
Kyrallike not installing Build-Essential by default06:49
Burgundaviageeks can find it and the rest of us have more secure machines06:50
Burgundaviaand my stock answer "Nothing is stopping from using Gentoo"06:50
KyralI'm trying to gain Ubuntu resepct...06:50

robotgeekjsgotangco: hmm, i found about 5 different articles on package building, with various details09:34
robotgeeknow, i know there's a package building guide underway, so what should i do09:35
jsgotangcohmm that would depend on the relevance of the content09:35
robotgeekhmm, we already have a CompileSoftware page09:36
jsgotangcoim not familiar with the subject matter though09:37
robotgeekthis should probably take it to the next step, to sort of mak packages the Ubuntu way, may provide a gentle introduction09:37
jsgotangcoso i can't make an educated guess at least09:37
robotgeekhmm, i would have edited the NetworkPrinter* articles, however I am not sure of the subject matter09:38

mdkeNg, that would be good. shout if you need any help getting involved05:53
NgI was just about to ask where to start, but I see a url in the topic05:53
Ng:)05:53
perofalmdke : thankx05:53
robotgeekmdke: GnuPrivacyGuardHowto one more down :)05:54
=== robotgeek forgets the ppl can scroll up
perofalmdke : I want to help :) 05:54
NgI've been hanging out in #ubuntu for a while now and there are many many questions that the starter guide could cover that would help people there - assuming it can be made discoverable enough05:54
mdkerobotgeek, nice work, albeit with a long name05:54
mdkeperofal, that's great. kubuntu docs need your help05:54
robotgeekmdke: hmm, true. can add redirects to make it happen. i want to add one more section before i get it out of CategoryCleanup05:55
mdkehow about just remove "Howto"05:55
mdkeredirects are confusing when users do searches, don't forget05:55
mdkeso we don't want too many unless they are necessary05:56
robotgeekhmm, the searches don't redirect automagically?05:56
mdkeif there are two pages, one of which is a redirect, they will appear as two pages if you search on page names05:57
mdkeunsurprisingly, because they are two different pages with names05:57
mdkeso it's justifiable to have two pages, called GPG and GnuPrivacyGuard, but not pages with the same common search string in the titles05:58
robotgeektrue, but the search should probably figure out that one is a redirect to the other, and only display the other 05:58
mdkeit doesn't05:59
mdkei don't think05:59
robotgeekit doesn't, but it should :)05:59

robotgeekanyways, the only other page pointing to this one now is GPGKey, so no issues in this case06:01
mdkeah good06:01
mdkemaybe just kick the "Howto", if the page is quite young06:01
robotgeekthe longer page was called howto, so i merged it into that one. 06:02
mdkei mean, delete "Howto" from the page name, leaving it "GnuPrivacyGuard"06:03
robotgeekmdke: okay, will do after i add a section to it. later tonite06:03
robotgeekLaserJock: there are atleast 5 articles on the wiki about packaging, if i start putting it together, would you be able to guide me on the technical questions?06:04

=== perofal [n=poimen@66.231.167.61] has joined #ubuntu-doc
Ngmdke: how should non-members send their proposed updates - like if I want to take a big stick to the starter guide would you want a patch to whatever the source format is, or a fresh copy, or what? :)06:08
LaserJockmdke: I know, they are sooo busy. elmo never got around to syncing quite a few MOTU packages before UVF06:08
mdkeNg, patch to the source yeah.06:08
Ngmdke: split up by section? or just a big lump?06:08
mdkeNg, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Contribute06:09
robotgeekLaserJock: hmm, okay. 06:09
Ngmdke: ah, thanks06:09
mdkeNg, my advice is to keep it small at first because it will be easier for us to check. For large scale changes, mail the list and discuss your ideas06:09
robotgeeki'll cut paste from the packaging guide too, LaserJock 06:09
Ngcool, I like docbook :)06:09
Ngmdke: ok06:09
mdkeNg, welcome aboard06:09
Ngmdke: save that till I actually do something. I do like working with db though and I enjoy and have some experience writing, so I expect to :)06:10
mdkeLaserJock, busy is an excuse but it's not really good enough: he promised to do commit requests within 48 hours, and has never ever done it. We need to be able to control it ourselves06:10
mdkeNg, great06:10
LaserJockmdke: I agree06:11
mdkei might play around with setting up an svn archive on the server06:11
LaserJockrobotgeek: so you are wanting to put together the wiki pages on packaging into one page?06:11
robotgeekLaserJock: the pages there are half baked, not one of them is complete in any respect06:12
LaserJockrobotgeek: could you give me a list of them?06:12
robotgeekLaserJock: one sec06:12
mdkeLaserJock, didn't you compile a list once?06:13
LaserJockmdke, perhaps. oh yes, w.u.c/UbuntuPackagingGuide/Resources i believe06:15

robotgeekCreateDebPackageHowto CreatePackageFromSourcePackage HowToBuildDebianPackagesFromScratch HowtoCreateNewPackages PackageBuilding ( DebootstrapChroot PbuilderHowto are related, but fine ATM)06:15
robotgeeki need to make a firefox thing for that06:15
robotgeeki mean, typing HowtoCreateNewPackages will take me to w.u.c/HowtoCreateNewPackages06:16
LaserJockrobotgeek: are they all on the link ^^ ?06:16
robotgeekNot all, i'll add them in then06:18
LaserJockrobotgeek: ok, great06:18
robotgeeknice, the firefox thing to do that was easy :)06:19
robotgeekLaserJock: done06:22
LaserJockrobotgeek: I'm sure at least some of those wiki pages can be merge together06:23
robotgeekI'll just work on putting those 5/6 pages together in a sane way06:23
robotgeeki do all of my editing offline, so no issues. (can't type without vim )06:24
LaserJockrobotgeek: ok, there is two different packaging's going on06:24
LaserJockrobotgeek: one is packaging for personal use (checkinstall)06:24
LaserJockrobotgeek: and the other is packaging for inclusion in Ubuntu (much more involved)06:24
LaserJockrobotgeek: you might want to try to keep those seperate06:25
robotgeekLaserJock: yes, i understand that. 06:25
LaserJockrobotgeek: ok, good06:25
LaserJockrobotgeek: have at it! :-)06:25
robotgeeki have mentioned to use CheckInstall method after CompileSoftware06:25
robotgeekso, home users will be happy with that06:26
robotgeekCompiling debs the "right" way is more confusing :)06:26
