lambertIf someone references a trademark name on the wiki, (is windows trademarked?) does the trademark need to be noted?03:13
Kyrallambert: Like?03:16
Kyrallambert: you can say "Windows" without the TM03:17
lambertkyral: If someone said "users of the windows operating system might find this next hint ...."03:18
Kyraloh yah thats fine03:18
lambertany situation where a trademark would be needed?03:19
Kyraluhh03:19
lambertjust curious 03:19

LaserJocktheCore: so are you able to work on the packaging guide now that you've got a new hard drive?05:04
theCorei'm working on it05:05
theCoreI'm doing an intro about the various skills you need to do packaging05:06
LaserJockoh cool, what section would it go in?05:07
theCoreGetting Started ?05:07
LaserJocksounds good, what kind of skills are you thinking of?05:09
theCoremake, autoconf ( the very basic ), diff, patch, etc...05:10
theCoreapt05:10
jsgotangco:D05:13
crimsunI'd advocate autoconf being in the more advanced section05:13
crimsunmake, diff, and patch-- yes05:13
LaserJocktheCore: hmm, we need to be careful not to attempt too much so that we can't get it done for Dapper or overwhelm the reader before the even get started with the packaging05:14
crimsunright, that's why I think autoconf belongs in a more advanced setion05:15
crimsunsection^05:15
theCoreLaserJock, I just made some really quick intros with some references05:15
theCorecrimsun, I just talked about how to make and use configure script05:16
LaserJocksounds good, I think a reference with a quick example would be good05:16
LaserJockit is easy to want to explain "everything" about packaging but that would really include way too much material.05:16
LaserJockalso keep in mind that there will be an Ubuntu Developer's Reference for dapper too05:17
LaserJockso we want to keep the guide style05:17
LaserJocktheCore: but I think it is a good idea, send me the patches when you have a chance05:18
theCorenp05:18
LaserJockcrimsun: have you had a chance to take a look at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html ?05:22

=== mdke wants feedback on the patch he just posted to the mailing list
jsgotangcothese language bugs....are we still responsible for these?12:10
mdkeyes we are12:10
mdkebut I will close them as wontfix soon12:10
jsgotangcoyeah ok12:10
mdkebecause I certainly don't think they are important enough to justify an upload to breezy-changes12:10
jsgotangcobeacuse i have no idea what to do with these12:10
jsgotangcono they're trivial12:10
mdkeyep. the docs in those languages still work12:10
jsgotangcoi'll just have dinner first and let's talk about stuff more12:11
mdkeokay, i should be around for a bit later12:11
jsgotangcono problem its only 7pm here anyways12:11

mdkedo you guys think that we should have an entry in the desktopguide about using nautilus as root03:52
mdke?03:52
mdkeI can't really think of many good reasons03:52
=== mdke is tempted to take it out
jsgotangcoyuck03:52
jsgotangcoyeah03:52
mdkeok, taken out03:54

siretartmdke: around?03:56
siretartcould anyone please look at bug #3056303:56
siretarthttps://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/3056303:56
mdkeok03:57
mdkeoh bloody hell03:57
jsgotangcowe've seen this in a lot of translated docs03:57
mdkethat's the third dup in a week03:57
siretartI'm deploying ubuntu/breezy in an internet cafe (upgrade from sarge) and I get these very annoying errors03:57
jsgotangcoyeah03:57
mdkesiretart, how annoying?03:58
siretartoh. sorry if this is a dup, but I didn't find others03:58
mdkeif you think it's worth another upload to breezy-updates, we can fix it03:58
siretartmdke: well, our admin mailing list is spammed with these messages03:58
siretartmdke: it looks to me like the xml files are faulty, and they don't look like they are very hard to fix03:58
mdkeno they are easy to fix03:59
mdkebut we'd need to upload to breezy-updates03:59
siretartmdke: now I have 2 options: roll my own ubuntu-docs package for local use, or fix it in ubuntu03:59
siretartmdke: thats no problem03:59
jsgotangcoit seems only translated docs are affectede03:59
mdkealright, I'll fix it, and talk to Kamion about an upload03:59
siretartas long as the patch is sufficiently short03:59
siretartmdke: do you prepare uploads and need just a sponsor?04:00
mdkeyep04:00
siretartmdke: or does kamion does the 'packaging'?04:00
mdkei'll do it04:00
siretartmdke: I can sponsor you as well04:00
siretartif kamion is not around. kamion has to review it, touhg ;)04:01
mdkeno problem, but I'll talk to Kamion/mdz about the upload because they need to confirm it04:01
siretarttough04:01
siretartyes04:01
mdkesiretart, ok, I'll ping you when I'm done04:01
siretartmdke: could you please give me your corrected package so that I can install it locally (for testing and until the official package hits the mirrors)04:01
mdkesure, and you can upload it too :D04:01
siretartok. thank you very much04:02
mdkenp04:03
mdkejsgotangco, did you have any time to look at that tips and tricks patch I sent to the mailing list?04:15
=== mdke waits for new package to build
jsgotangcomdke, yeah04:16
mdkeany thoughts?04:16
jsgotangcobut i dont understand a thing about qanda sets04:16
jsgotangcoyou want me to apply it to my WC?04:16
mdkejsgotangco, open it in yelp, and see which of the sections in the tips and tricks chapter looks better04:16
jsgotangcook hold on04:16
jsgotangcogoodbye.quanda.diff?04:17
lambertIs there a way to number headers on the wiki so they don't duplicate in the TOC?04:18
mdkelambert, can you give us an example?04:19
lamberthttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/WirelessTroubleshootingGuide04:20
lambertfrom personal experience, I like and think it's easier in headers04:20
lambertto also be numbered as font difference isn't that drastic to separate04:21
lambertareas04:21
lambertjust makes it an easier read04:21
mdkeoh i see what you mean04:22
jsgotangcomdke, this looks better04:22
mdkeno, there is no way to do that, afaik. Best to leave the numbers of the headings I think04:22
mdkejsgotangco, the first of the three sections looks better?04:22
jsgotangcoinstead of QA you made it to a numbered list04:23
jsgotangcothis is cleaner04:24
mdkeyay04:24
jsgotangco+104:24
jsgotangcoare you committing this?04:26
mdkei will, after a few more people give feedback04:27
mdketbh, I've already done the rest of the chapter like that and done quick a few modifications of tips04:27
mdkesiretart, have a look at http://doc.ubuntu.com/debs/breezy-updates/ for me?04:40
mdkeand anyone else who fancies testing it04:41
jsgotangcoyou created a new package?04:42
mdkei fixed that bug, i hope04:42
mdkesiretart, works here. I think you can upload it and we'll bug Kamion/mdz tomorrow04:45
siretartmdke: will look at it shortly. I'm having here unexpected dpkg errors, which I want to investigate first04:46
mdkeargh, with that package?04:46
mdkesurely not04:46
siretartwith dpkg itself. it spits me an assertion error04:46
mdkeok04:47
jsgotangcoworks for me too04:47
=== mdke is pretty sure he hasn't buggered anything up
siretartbut diffs looks good. will install that package here04:48
mdkeyep, then run your cronjob04:48
siretartit's not really a cronjob. we are using cfengine(cfexecd) here ;)04:54
mdkewell run "sudo scrollkeeper-rebuilddb -q" or whatever it is04:54
jsgotangcomdke, i've added you as lp doc admin05:03
mdkeok, thanks.05:03
jsgotangcowe're not worthy!05:03
siretartwah, because of status NEEDINFO, bugs do not show in the bugs overview of a package05:04
siretart*sigh*05:04

siretartmdke: your changelog does not mention the removal of generic/faqguide/ro/faqguide-ro.omf05:43
siretartmdke: I'm not sure if mdz or Kamion will approve this, unless you talk to then in advance05:43
mdkesiretart, I'll talk to them06:08
mdkesiretart, as for dapper, we don't have any translations there yet06:08
siretartok06:16
mdkesiretart, did you upload already? I've sent them an email06:29
siretartmdke: ah, so its okay to upload. ok, will do so now06:34
mdkesiretart, thanks06:34
siretartmdke: besides, why did you remove that file?06:42
mdkesiretart, because it was empty, and scrollkeeper didn't like that06:43
siretartah, okay06:44
siretartallright then06:44
mdkethere is a bug in rosetta which prevents us from using romanian translations, unfortunately06:45
