theCorejust to be sure, is `svn co https://docteam.ubuntu.com/repos/branches/dapper dapper-docs' is the correct command for getting the dapper branch?12:10

mgalvinrobitaille: thanks12:15
mgalvinrobitaille: hey if you are interested at all, i started to add some of the articles you find to the ubuntu weekly newsletter, feel free to add them there if you like12:16
theCoremdke: maybe a NO_LOC_ERROR flag, would be useful12:18

theCoremdke: because smart guy called `matt' hardcoded the location of the stylesheet... ;)02:05
theCoreLaserJock: ah, ok thanks for the info02:05
mdketheCore: that's not very nice02:09
mdkethat was done for a reason, as you could probably have guessed02:09
theCoremdke: (it's a joke)02:10

mdkeok02:11

mdkegoogle will tell you02:12
theCore/usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/fo/docbook.xsl ?02:12
mdkeif it was there, you think I would have hardcoded another one?02:13
mdkeyou have to download them from the internet02:13
=== theCore must learn to shut up
mdkethen change the address in ubuntu-pdf.xsl to match where you put them02:14
theCoremdke: wouldn't be better to add it into the repository?02:15
mdketheCore: all the stylesheets?02:17
mdkeit's quite big02:17
mdkeand no one really builds the pdfs apart from me, because they are on the website02:17
theCoremdke: how big actually?02:18
mdkei dunno, lemme look02:18
mdke16 megabytes02:18
LaserJockuggh02:18
theCoregezz, 16mb for a sheetstyle? 02:19
mdketheCore: lots of stylesheets02:19

LaserJocknot right at this moment02:48
theCoreok02:50
LaserJockare you?02:50
theCoreI'm trying02:52
LaserJockwhat section?02:52
theCoreI thought the Sync & Merge needed some clarifications, but it seem that it's way better than I thought02:55
LaserJockhehe02:55
theCoreso, I'm now wandering in the guide, trying to find something02:55
theCoremaybe I could clean the XML ... 02:57
LaserJockis it that bad? ;-)03:00
theCorewell, the PG the cleanest of all guides03:04
LaserJockwell, it has the fewest people working on it03:05
theCoreLaserJock: do you use a 4 space-long tab?03:08
LaserJockI don't think I did "replace tab with spaces" but usually I use 2-4 space tabs03:09
LaserJockprobably 4 though03:09
theCorethe xml is indented with tab03:10
theCorewhich is fine03:10
theCoreI just have to change the tab-width to whatever I want if I'm not happy03:13

crimsuntheCore: referring vs. gdebi?03:23

theCorecrimsun: could be an idea...03:24
crimsuntheCore: ?03:25
theCorecrimsun: oh, 03:25
crimsuntheCore: that's the way it [has been]  was done in Debian for the past eight years or so :)03:25
crimsungdebi does it nicely and with style :)03:25
theCorecrimsun: I think dpkg, doesn't allow to install package with unmet dependencies03:26
crimsuntheCore: correct, because it doesn't do any resolution, hence apt-get -f install :)03:27
theCorecrimsun: ah03:27
theCorecrimsun: yeah, I remember know, I had to do it with opera03:27
crimsunyep, that's precisely how I tested gdebi03:28
crimsun"will gdebi do this better?"03:28
theCorethat was one of my first amazement on Linux; the ability to launch GUI apps from the command prompt03:32
theCorecrimsun: does gdebi did it better?03:33
crimsuntheCore: certainly with more style03:34

mgalvintake a peek and lemme know what you think04:59
jsgotangcoi'd say05:00
mgalvini just thought it would be nice to send them out each weekend05:01
jsgotangcoalthough the edubuntu team might still want a detailed edubuntu newsletter every week though05:02
jsgotangcobut i've just read this one, and I say its good to go05:02
mgalvinaside from the release its a slow news week, normally i think each distro will have more (and more detailed) info05:04
jsgotangcoyes05:05
jsgotangcoi think edgy opens in 2 days05:05
jsgotangcoor 305:05
mgalvinyea05:05
mgalvinjane and mdz stressed one letter, but if the edubuntu team wants a dedicated letter i would not object but i don't know if it would really be necessary05:07
jsgotangcolet's see how it goes next week, there's no activity after release so there isn't much to write about05:11

mdkei vaguely remember jeff asking each author's permission for a change of licence. Dunno if it was to PD though, I can't remember01:43

Madpilotmdke, the orange at the bottom of the Ubuntu DGs cover is #f44800, if you want to use that11:50

mdkeso a smaller font?11:51

LaserJockit looks like just wasn't centered quite right11:52

Madpilotshould we go for the tan on the spine instead though?11:55
mdkeit might be safer, if there is a risk of one overlapping onto the other11:55
mdkeI think it looks pretty cool though, don't mind11:55
Madpilotthe UDG tan is #FDD99B11:56

MadpilotXDG's grey is #99A9C011:57
