robotgeekLaserJock: pong12:33
LaserJockwe have to move the Freeze12:34
robotgeekLaserJock: why?12:35
LaserJockbecause the UI Freeze was moved12:35
robotgeeklinky?12:35
LaserJockhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseSchedule/Slewed12:36
robotgeekLaserJock: but has this been approved12:36
robotgeekyes,is see12:36
robotgeekLaserJock: isn't 2 weeks enough12:37
robotgeekApril 20th to May 4th12:37
LaserJockrobotgeek: we were going to have the Freeze April 6th12:38
robotgeekbrb12:38
Burgworkcan we do an internal docteam string freeze on the 6th12:40
Burgworkthat way we can go to translators early, with the understanding that small strings might change12:40
LaserJockbut if the UI freeze isn't until the 20th ...12:41
Burgworkrealistically, not much is going to change except for screenshots12:43
LaserJockhopefully, although there was discussion today about playing dvds12:43
Burgworkyes12:43
LaserJockI think your probably right12:44
LaserJocks/your/you're/12:44
robotgeekLaserJock: did they take out libdvdcss?12:53
robotgeekanyways, i gotta cook some grub, later 12:54
LaserJockwell, supposedly gstreamer will have it in the future12:54

aritoHi. Is it OK to use this channel to point a tiny error in Dapper documentation, or should I rather do it on ubuntu-docs@lists.ubuntu.com?01:15
Burgworkarito, what is the issue?01:16
aritoIt's in http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/programming.html#java. On phase 6. there's "sudo" missing from the instruction.01:17
Burgworkhmm, actually, can you raise that on the mailing list?01:17
Burgworkthat way it gets logged01:17
aritoI'll do that, thanks :-)01:18

LaserJockguys, check out wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseSchedule/Slewed05:40
LaserJockif you haven't already ;-)05:41
robotgeekLaserJock: yes, but we decided on a internal freeze, right?05:43
LaserJockI don't know05:43
LaserJockUI freeze is 20th of April05:44
LaserJockbut Corey pointed out earlier that there probably isn't going to be any big changes before UI Freeze05:44
LaserJockI think it is mostly we get done when we get done05:45

Madpilotone thing I'd like to see added - but couldn't write myself - is 'installing your bookmarks from FF/IE/etc in FF in Ubuntu' - make things easier for switchers05:47
robotgeekMadpilot: i don't have a section on firefox at all :)05:52
Madpilotcan Konq import any other browser's bookmark files?05:52
robotgeekyes, firefox / mozilla i think. lemme check05:52
Madpilotthat's one of the major reasons I stick with Opera - I've got a massive bookmark file, and neither FF nor Epiph can import Opera bookmarks (Opera can import FF, IE & Netscape, though...)05:54
robotgeekMadpilot: opera can't export?05:54
Madpilotonly as it's own bookmark file or as HTML, it looks like05:54
robotgeekMadpilot: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/i1032105:57
Madpilotcool - good for Konq!05:58
robotgeekMadpilot: now i gotta document this :)05:58
Madpilotrobotgeek, you should also tell ppl where to find their bookmark files in Windows05:59
robotgeekMadpilot: i can point them to a resource somewhere, i don't want to spoil the guide with windows stuff :)06:00
Madpilotheh. your prejudices are showing, robotgeek :P06:00
robotgeekyeah, and why not :)06:00
MadpilotFor Opera, typing "opera:about" in the address bar will get a display that includes where the bookmark file is06:01
robotgeekhmm, kinda tough if you don't know that anyways :)06:02
MadpilotEpiphany's bookmark handling is so different, I'm not surprised I can't even find an "Import Bookmarks" function in it...06:04
robotgeekit does what, tagigng?06:04
Madpilotyes06:05
Madpilotrather than categories - think GMail06:05
Burgundaviait is there06:05
Burgundaviabookmarks, edit bookmarks06:05
Burgundaviaon the popup, file, import bookmarks06:06
Madpilotah, thanks. FF & Konq only, though06:06
robotgeekit's going to be a pain if you havent tagged since the beginning. plus i use simpy.com for that06:07
Burgundaviait can do from file06:07
Burgundaviadoesn't list Konq if Konq is not installed06:07

highvolt1gerobotgeek: i'm even missing the brown!06:41
highvolt1gerobotgeek: and i had a *strong* dislike for the brown (to put it mildly)06:41
robotgeekhighvolt1ge: exactly! 06:42
highvoltsggrrr06:42
MadpilotI liked the brown; I found a derivitive theme with a slightly redder brown that I like even more :P06:42
robotgeeki actually liked the brown, i found it very easy to read06:42
=== highvoltage still likes blue, call me old fashioned
highvoltagethe brown did grow on me.06:43
robotgeekhighvoltage: that's why we use kde :)06:43
highvoltagei even dreamed about using a future OS and it was brown in my dream.06:43
robotgeeknow with 40% more blue06:43
highvoltagewell, I use a Blue GNOME, which is just about 5% less blue that kubuntu06:43
robotgeekhighvoltage: no one likes the new kubuntu blue, so i guess it's in the same boat as ubuntu06:44

UberoDocyso, I can use breezy stuff and the improved dapper source to make the html?06:23
mkdejust the dapper stylesheets06:23
UberoDocyhhmm... 06:23
UberoDocythere should be no problems of retro compatibility then I guess...06:24
UberoDocyit's just the style that changes ...06:24
mkdedownload this file: https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/trunk/ubuntu/libs/ubuntu-html-single-cust.xsl and then run the command "xsltproc --xinclude -o faqguide-all-pt.html ubuntu-html-single-cust.xsl faqguide-pt.xml"06:25

robotgeektrappist: patches and more patches. Kmail complains "Message was signed by trappist at gmail.com (Key ID: 0xblahbalh" Warning: The signature is bad.07:56
robotgeekthe second email comes thru fine07:57
trappistwell suck.  I wonder how it did that.  it's good news, though.  thanks.07:59
robotgeektrappist: if both were invalid, i would not have am issue. heh07:59
trappistit tells me it was signed by grasshopper@linuxkungfu.org... maybe you imported my gmail one?07:59
robotgeektrappist: kmail does that automatically, i guess. lemme purge ans retry08:00
=== manicka [n=manicka@ubuntu/member/manicka] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkerobotgeek, yeah, you can re-add the headers and xincludes08:04
=== mgalvin [n=mgalvin@ubuntu/member/mgalvin] has joined #ubuntu-doc
robotgeekmdke: i'll do that next time i am messing about08:04
dsasthey're the same two signatures here, both from grasshopper@linuxkungfo.org08:05
robotgeektrappist: it validates one, but doesn't the other. 08:05
trappistrobotgeek: yeah same here08:05
trappistI'm gonna re-send the first one08:05
trappistthe one in my sent folder is validated08:06
mdkerobotgeek, great08:07
jjessedid the patchs get applied trappist sent?08:08
trappiststill invalid.08:08
mdkejjesse, not yet. That's a lot of patches :)08:09
trappistI wonder if mailman is modifying the message08:09
jjessei'll apply the kubuntu one08:09
mdkejjesse, there may be more than one for kubuntu08:10
mdketrappist, ?08:10
jjesseabout kubuntu08:11
trappistmdke: the gpg signature is invalid on the first email (and the 2nd try of the first email).  I think mailman may be touching the message in a way that breaks the signature.08:11
mdkeI'm not bothered about the gpg signature... which emails should we be looking at?08:11
trappist"[PATCH]  Entities and validation" and "[PATCH]  Entities and validation part 2"08:12
mdkeok, so ignoring (retry)?08:12
jjessedang it i don't have my svn password on me :(08:12
trappistmdke: yes08:12
jjesseabout-kubunut needs to be patched 08:12
mdkejjesse, we could ask trappist for a single patch and one of us can apply08:12
trappisthaha.  it would have been so much easier to make a single patch in the first place :)08:13
jjessei thought we asked him earlier tosend different patches per file08:13
mdkeyeah08:13
mdkeper doc08:13
mdkebut this might be an exceptional case ;)08:13
robotgeekmdke: for i in *.patch ; do patch -p0 <$i; done08:13
trappistand the wiki says per filename, with the patches named accordingly :/08:13
mdketrappist, do they all validate?08:13
trappistmdke: there are two pre-existing validation errors left08:14
mdkewhich docs?08:14
trappistlemme see08:14
mdkerobotgeek, if all the patches were done from the same directory, that will work I think08:15
jjesse_meetinglater folks08:15
mdkebye08:15
trappistkubuntu/userguide/C/userguide.xml and generic/packagingguide/C/appendix.xml08:15
trappistmdke: they were08:15
mdkeok08:15
mdkerobotgeek, do you fancy applying them all? if not I'll do it later when I am at my laptop08:15
trappistapply the patches and say: svn stat | egrep '^M.+\.xml' | awk '{print $2}' | while read line; do ./validate.sh $line; done08:16
mdkethen we can fix those validation things later08:16
robotgeekmdke: okay, i don't mind08:16
mdketrappist, what do you mean in the email by "invalid entity names"?08:17
trappistmdke: mixed-case entity names don't validate08:17
mdkesure? I've never seen that08:18
trappistwiki-RootSudo didn't, but it was fine once I lowercased it in the .ent and the .xml08:18
mdkethe desktop guide has always validated despite using wiki-RootSudo08:18
mdkeor maybe I'm mistaken08:18
mdkeanyhow, dinner08:19
trappistenjoy08:19
LaserJockany doc-base experts around?08:19
trappistLaserJock: ask your question ;)08:20
LaserJockwell, I'm trying to make a .docbase file to register ubuntu-docs with doc base08:20
LaserJockbut I'm not sure wheither I need to do each doc individually or just the whole /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/html/ directory08:21
LaserJockI suppose I could just try it out and see08:22
trappistapparently you can use a shell glob08:23
trappistfor the files field08:23
robotgeektrappist: so, apply them with the validation errors?08:23
=== robotgeek is scared. takes another look
trappistrobotgeek: I'm pretty sure I didn't introduce the validation errors... but if you apply them and validate like above you can see what they are.  they don't look at all related to anything I changed.08:24
robotgeektrappist: okay, lemme take a look one by one08:27
robotgeeksvn needs a unrevert command :)08:28
trappistheh.08:28
robotgeektrappist: about the entities in mixed cases, it does validate with root-Sudo08:31
trappistodd, it didn't here08:31
robotgeeknvm, i'l lcommit after coffee08:32
trappistok if I change it back it does validate.  maybe that was one of the files that wasn't sourcing global.ent.08:37
trappistif you like I'll do one big patch (with that one omitted)08:37
LaserJockhmm, can anybody give me a quick abstract of the Desktop Guide?08:47
robotgeektrappist: that would me nice08:48
robotgeekLaserJock: eating food, moment08:48
mdkeLaserJock, see ubuntu/desktopguide/C/desktopguide-C.omf08:49
LaserJockmdke: is that current?08:49
mdkeyep08:49
mdkehope so08:49
LaserJockmdke: I read it and it said it was a Q & A08:49
LaserJockmdke: I thought we moved away from that08:49
mdkeI'll look08:49
mdkeyeah that's crap08:50
mdkewe should redo it08:50
trappistrobotgeek: http://tra.ppi.st/bigun.diff08:50
robotgeektrappist: thanks, i'll take a look08:52
trappistrobotgeek: maybe you could validate generic/packagingguide/C/appendix.xml and kubuntu/userguide/C/userguide.xml before applying, to verify that I didn't introduce the validation errors08:53
robotgeektrappist: yes, i am currently unreverting all. btw, thanks for the readline trick. 08:54
trappistnp08:54
trappistunreverting?08:55
robotgeeksorry, reverting :)08:55
trappistoh.  I just svn revert -R .08:57
=== robotgeek notes
robotgeektrappist: kubuntu user guide does not validate, btw08:59
mdkewhat is this kubuntu/userguide stuff?08:59
mdkesounds like another one to be nuked08:59
LaserJocktrappist: what are you doing to the packaging guide?09:00
robotgeekheh, that is one from breezy i think mdke 09:00
trappistLaserJock: nothing that I know of except the same stuff I'm doing to everything else... word nazi stuff, validation stuff and entity-izing versions09:01
mdkerobotgeek, we'll ask jjesse and then nuke it09:02
mdkejjesse_meeting, ^^09:02
LaserJockrobotgeek: are you applying all of trappist's patches?09:02
robotgeekLaserJock: havent applied anything yet, trying to fix validation first09:03
jjesseuserguide can be nuked09:04
mdkethanks09:04
mdkerobotgeek, ^09:04
LaserJockrobotgeek: mind if I take care of the packaging guide patches?09:04

LaserJockBurgwork: guess you just have to wait ;-) although I would have thought they would have announced it by now10:01
BurgworkLaserJock, I am more concerned about image\10:02
LaserJockBurgwork: yeah. Were you around when they decided? I didn't realize they voted on it already until Keybuk told me10:03
LaserJockmdke: I don't think the doc-base thing is going to work10:16
LaserJockmdke: at least not for dapper10:16
mdkeLaserJock, ok, no worries! thanks for trying10:16
LaserJockmdke: basically all the viewer (dhelp, dwww, and doc-central) look for docs in /usr/share/doc/<packagename>10:17
LaserJockmdke: we would need to split up the individual docs into packages10:18
mdkewhoosh10:18
LaserJockmdke: I'm not sure why this is required but it seems to be the case10:18
mdkeok, mark the bug as wontfix then, sounds like it is a lot harder than the advantages10:19
LaserJockthe viewers are quite cool though10:19
LaserJockThey might be something to look at in the future10:19
mdkeunless enrico knows a bit more and can help10:19
LaserJockdhelp especially is nice10:19
LaserJockthey are somewhat like yelp, except DE independent10:20
mdkecool10:20
LaserJockthey can show man pages etc10:20
robotgeekLaserJock: where is this dhelp that you speak of?10:20
LaserJockrobotgeek: it is a program apt-get it10:21
robotgeekawesome10:21
LaserJockthey just use a browser and in the case of dwww and doc-central, apache10:21
robotgeekLaserJock: building yzis for now, will check it out as soon as that is done10:22
LaserJockIf they could deal with our doc structure I think they would be quite cool10:23
trappistdhelp is uninstallable here.  dhelp_parse segfaults in postinst.10:24
LaserJocktrappist: bummer, what arch?10:24
trappisti38610:24
LaserJockhmm, odd10:25
trappistBuilding HTML tree .../var/lib/dpkg/info/dhelp.postinst: line 45: 17355 Segmentation fault      /usr/sbin/dhelp_parse -r10:25
LaserJockI'm on i38610:25
trappistbreezy or dapper?10:25
LaserJockdapper10:25
trappistah, i'm on breezy10:25
LaserJockhmm, that is a problem in general ;-)10:25
trappistI'd try it on my dapper box but it's at home and there's an apt-get upgrade process waiting for me to say yes or something to10:26
LaserJocklol10:26
LaserJockthat's why I keep a dapper chroot around10:26
LaserJockdwww or doc-central also should work, although they have more deps10:27
trappistI used to have that and a dapper vmware image but since I have a full on dapper box now, I figure it's just wasted space10:27
robotgeekLaserJock: you know about yzis? it embeds vim in every text editor10:27
robotgeekor alteast the keybindings :)10:27

Burgworkmdke, pong10:30
enricomdke: ok10:31
enricoLaserJock: at your service10:31
LaserJockenrico: I made a couple doc-base control files and they work ok, except I can't view them with any viewer10:31
LaserJockenrico: basically I've tried dhelp, dwww, and doc-central10:31
LaserJockenrico: the problem seems to be that they only want docs in /usr/share/doc/<packagename>10:32
LaserJockenrico: where there is a <packagename> for each of our docs10:32
LaserJockenrico: but we ship the docs all in /usr/share/ubuntu-docs/10:33
enricoright10:33
enricoand apache only exports /usr/share/doc10:34
LaserJockyeah10:34
enricoI guess documents outside /usr/share/doc aren't viewable, unless you make symlinks10:34
LaserJockso I can see links to the docs, I just can't access them10:34
enricoLaserJock: you can try symlinking from /usr/share/ubuntu-docs into some place in /usr/share/doc10:34
LaserJockenrico: hmm, seems a bit hackish. let me see if it works10:35
trappistLaserJock: grep DWWW_DOCPATH /usr/share/dwww/functions.sh10:36
LaserJockyeah10:37
trappistLaserJock: you can set that in /etc/dwww/dwww.conf10:38
LaserJocktrappist: yeah, but I don't feel like patching dwww 10:39
trappistoh10:39
LaserJockI mean I can do it locally for sure. I'm just trying to figure out how we can ship it ;-)10:40
LaserJocksweet, symlink worked10:42
LaserJocknow I wonder if I can convince dholbach to do the symlinks10:43
enricoLaserJock: I imagine it's easy to convince dholbach: symlinking documentation into /usr/share/doc makes a big lot of sense10:44
LaserJockenrico: ok, thanks for the suggestion. I'll talk him into it ;-)10:45
enricoLaserJock: you're welcome!10:48
mdkei can do the symlinks10:50
mdkeif it's a good idea10:50
mdkeLaserJock, actually you can do it too. see debian/links10:51
