Madpilotis there an svn command to merge a diff I've been sent into my local copy? svn merge looks right, but I can't figure out the syntax04:09
LaserJockhmm, not sure04:12
MadpilotI've created a fair number of diffs, but never bothered figuring out how to handle them further :P04:14
LaserJockis your local copy clean?04:15
Madpilotyes04:18
LaserJockthen you should just apply the patch then04:20
LaserJockyikes, bad grammar there04:21
=== poningru [n=poningru@pool-72-64-213-212.tampfl.fios.verizon.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
Madpilotsvn's help is being non-helpful - which *is* the 'apply this patch' command, anyway?04:30
BurgundaviaMadpilot: svn not being helpful. What a shock04:31
MadpilotBurgundavia, by man-page standards, svn help is reasonable :P04:32
LaserJockMadpilot: why not use patch ?04:32
Madpilotthe regular console command patch? (there doesn't seem to be an "svn patch"...)04:33
LaserJockyeah, that is what I always use04:33
MadpilotAh, OK. bleh - given that svn uses it's own patch-creation routine, I was expecting patch-merging to be in svn as well04:34
LaserJockwell, you aren't supposed to do anything outside of the repo so ;-)04:36
=== ealden [n=ealden@203.76.213.249] has joined #ubuntu-doc
MadpilotI'm still confused - what's the 'usual' method of dealing with diffs, then?04:37
LaserJockpatch04:37
Burgundaviapatch -p0 patch.patch file (I think)04:40
Madpilotand if it's a diff encompassing multiple files?04:41
LaserJockusually you have to adjust the -p to -p1 or -p2 depending on how deep it is04:49
Madpilot"patch -p0 udgaddperiod.diff04:51
Madpilot" - but all it does is sit there until I hit Ctrl+C, no matter which directory I stick the .diff in before I start - wtf?04:51
LaserJockoh, use < to pipe the file in04:53
=== robitaille [n=daniel@ubuntu/member/robitaille] has joined #ubuntu-doc
LaserJockpatch uses stdin for the diff04:54
Madpilotah04:55
Madpilotthat finally worked - thanks04:56

crimsunlj: will review packaging guide later this weekend (a bit more time now that the alsa patches have been spun)05:39
LaserJockcrimsun: ok, cool. I really got to get a lot done on that this weekend05:40
crimsunok, I'll see if I can svn up before sunday, but I'm away from Ubuntu this weekend visiting my gf in Atlanta05:41
robotgeekMadpilot: seveas fixed the nice script for me and nalioth05:43
Madpilotrobotgeek, which script?05:43
robotgeekirssi only, but it basically ops and deops you automatically after performing the required action05:44
Madpilotah, that one. Doesn't someone have an XChat version too? (Seveas?)05:44
robotgeekhmm, maybe05:44
robotgeeknalioth and I owe seveas some beer for fixing perl code!05:45

robotgeekhey Madpilot 08:37
robotgeekMadpilot: can you take a look at the java section in kdg and see if you like it?08:38
Madpilotrobotgeek, sure - maybe not tonight, though08:39
robotgeekMadpilot: it's a small section, i will commit the changes for you too :)08:40
Madpilotrobotgeek, just a minute, then I'll have a loook08:40
Madpilotrobotgeek, shouldn't the Java section be somewhere more conspicuious than "Misc. Tips"?08:48
robotgeekMadpilot: hmm, did you guys move it already? :)08:48
Madpilotin UDG it's in Internet, in with the other Firefox setup tips08:49
robotgeekMadpilot: no, it's in programming08:49
Madpilotgah, you're right - I'm behind the times too :P08:50
Madpilotthere's a link to it from the Internet section though08:50
robotgeekMadpilot: yeah, i see that. I will do the same. 08:50
robotgeekbut other than that, the content is fine?08:50
MadpilotYes08:51
robotgeekcool, i'll move it and commit it08:51
MadpilotI'm going to steal your warning about what Java applies to for UDG08:51
robotgeekMadpilot: i was planning to copy over the java section to UDG and commit too08:52
robotgeeksince you seemed to be in a hurry :)08:52
Madpilotsure, go ahead - thanks08:52

robotgeekMadpilot: Committed as revision 2574.09:01

tonyyarussoI have arrived.09:07
Madpilothi tonyyarusso 09:07
tonyyarussoMadpilot: Hi.09:08
Madpilottonyyarusso, there's a docteam mailing list as well, if you're interested in joining that09:09
tonyyarussoMadpilot: I may.  First I need to take a few minutes to get my e-mail under control.09:10
tonyyarussoMy nautilus-list things are already somewhat annoying, and no longer relevant, so I should probably part with that, and maybe use a different account next time.09:10
=== robotgeek is planning email
tonyyarusso(Not a fan of when my gdesklet says 12 new messages and they're all mailing list)09:11
robotgeek+1 tonyyarusso 09:11
tonyyarussoWhat was that?09:11
robotgeeki used to get pissed off about those mails too :)09:12
tonyyarussoSo are there some good little wiki things outlining good practice for things like documenting an installation experience, describing an OS, etc.?  A large portion of my hopeful intended audience is Windows users that I want to inform about alternatives, especially now that Vista is on the horizon.09:12
tonyyarussorobotgeek: I see.09:13
Madpilottonyyarusso, see the /topic here for a bunch of good links that should get you started - quick questions here, longer questions to the ML09:13
tonyyarussoI joined initially to ask about selecting files, like the Windows Explorer behavior.09:13
tonyyarussoMadpilot: Gotcha.09:13
tonyyarussoThe /topic says next meeting a week ago...09:14

MadpilotBurgundavia, on freegeek victoria, you mean? Sounds interesting, too bad ReStore can't participate 09:27
tonyyarussoMadpilot: What's the TBA about?09:27
Madpilottonyyarusso, we don't have an exact date, but our meetings are always every two weeks - so right now it's just "sometime in the 3rd week of March"09:27
tonyyarussoMadpilot: I was told this coming Tuesday would have a meeting about possibly delaying 6.04.09:28
Burgundaviatonyyarusso: indeed it will09:28
Madpilottonyyarusso, yeah, I read Mark Shuttleworth's email09:28
tonyyarussoMadpilot: So shouldn't that info be in that?09:29
robotgeektonyyarusso: do you have a x86 machine and a kubuntu dapper iso?09:29
Burgundaviaah, crap Flight 5 made the front page of Digg and it is not even released09:29
robotgeeklol09:29
Madpilottonyyarusso, probably - the announcement was only this morning, though09:29
tonyyarussorobotgeek: x86 with Ubuntu, ShipIt disks.09:29
tonyyarussoMadpilot: Point.09:30
robotgeektonyyarusso: hmm okay09:30
tonyyarussoActually, Danielle has my last disk now.  I guess I need Dapper soon to have a disk!09:30
tonyyarussorobotgeek: Why do you ask?09:30
robotgeektonyyarusso: testing what i wrote, i am a ppc user. a full list of things is currently being emailed :)09:31
tonyyarussorobotgeek: ah.09:31
Madpilotrobotgeek, send your list to the ML too - I've got Flight4 CDs of both Ubuntu & Kubuntu burned09:32
robotgeekMadpilot: yes, i am mailing the list, and point nalioth the url :)09:32
Madpilotcool09:32
robotgeeksent09:37
tonyyarussoHey, if you haven't kept track in the past, can you check for a list of all of the wiki pages you have edited somehow?09:40
Burgundaviatonyyarusso: probably, but not easily09:43
Burgundaviatonyyarusso: there is "User contributions" button ala Wikipedia, if that is what you mean09:43
tonyyarussoBurgundavia: Is that user-tied or page-tied?09:43
Burgundaviatonyyarusso: in wikipedia?09:44
tonyyarussoBurgundavia: Either?09:44
tonyyarussoWhatever you think tells me what I need to know.09:44
Burgundaviamediaiwiki is per user as well as per page09:45
Burgundaviamoin currenlty only does per page, unless there is a(nother, sigh) hidden feature09:45
