mvirkkilmdke: Check out http://docbook.wikiwikiweb.de/ and open http://docbook.wikiwikiweb.de/A_complete_book?action=show&mimetype=text/book in yelp (Only tested in Yelp 2.14.2)03:00
jsgotangcowow!03:01
jsgotangcoso its a straight export i assume?03:02
mvirkkiljsgotangco: Yes.03:03
jsgotangconice!03:03
mvirkkiljsgotangco: :)03:03
jsgotangcoand its self-contained in one file03:03
mvirkkiljsgotangco: Yes. The images are loaded from the server by yelp.03:04
jsgotangcoahh yes..i didnt look at the exported code..03:04
mvirkkiljsgotangco: I've also created a buildbook action, which collects the images and puts them in a zip along with the docbook.03:04
jsgotangcothat is awesome03:05
mvirkkiljsgotangco: but it doesn't rewrite the urls in the docbook, that is left to the user. Instead it writes a list or map between  url and filename in to a file. 03:06
jsgotangcoyeah it shouldn't be hard to change the urls though...if not tedious if we're talking hundreds of images/files, etc.03:07
mvirkkilI'm thinking about how to do the rewriting of the urls cleanly inside moin, so I haven't documented or given examples of how to use BuildBook yet.03:07
mvirkkilBut it's basically appending the url with "?action=BuildBook"03:08
=== mvirkkil realizes he hasn't tested it enough
mvirkkilBut basically this should work: http://docbook.wikiwikiweb.de/A_complete_book?action=BuildBook03:09
mvirkkilThe mapping file is in resources/url2file-mapping.txt03:10
=== jsgotangco opens
LaserJockwow, that rocks hard core03:11
mvirkkilLaserJock: :D03:11
jsgotangcoyeah03:11
tonyyarussoI'm not sure I've ever seen people so excited about a text file... ;)03:12
jsgotangcotonyyarusso: you must be aware of the issue to get excited about it03:13
jsgotangco:)03:13
tonyyarussoYeah, and it whooshed by me, so not so much.03:13
LaserJockeven single wiki page -> docbook is pretty sweet, but a whole book is awesome03:14
jsgotangcothe single xml file is already solid but the whole book is icing...03:15
mvirkkilbtw, to make use of admonitions, people will need to start using the Admonition-macro I wrote.03:15
jsgotangconow if we could have people write proper wiki pages now...03:15
=== crimsun writes a quick how-to for writing proper wiki pages :p
tonyyarussoIsn't there one already somewhere?03:16
LaserJockWikiGuide, yes03:16
mvirkkilThere's at least one on the ubuntu wiki, and another one on the fedora wiki.03:16
crimsundoesn't really matter, that was facetiousness. Matthew seems inclined to frown on how-tos.03:16
mvirkkilbut my work should outdate a lot of the points in the guide like "FootNote doesn't work" and "Include doesn't work" ;) 03:17
LaserJockso just don't call it a HowTo ;-)03:17
crimsunyeah, call it a Guide.03:18
LaserJockhehe, but don't let mpt know ;-)03:18
jsgotangcohaha03:19
nixternalthen call it a Tutorial...but don't let....know ;)03:22
LaserJockyeah, in fact don't *call* it anything, it should just "be" ;-)03:22
nixternalor..just call it the WikiToDocbookHowToTutorialGuide03:23

OHPhoneGuyThe US isn't that bad....it's just the leadership and his fanclub :)03:53
jsgotangcoi agree03:53
LaserJockI was thinking "man, I'm glad I live in the US" when I got home from Paris ;-)03:53
jsgotangcohaha03:53
jsgotangcoyou just got culture shocked after being away from the mainland for a week03:54

LaserJockI get that when I go east of the Rockies too :-)03:54

LaserJockhehe03:55
LaserJockI love the West, it'd be really hard to get me to move out of it03:55
LaserJockI like the Midwest too from what little I've seen of it03:56
jsgotangcoLaserJock: im bound to chicago in october, how long would a flight be to reno from o'hare?03:57
Burgundaviathe south is a very different place than the west03:57
Burgundaviajsgotangco: couple of hours03:57
jsgotangco2?3?4?03:57
LaserJockI'd guess 303:57

BurgundaviaMataro was a little more relaxed, but it was a hackathon as wel04:11
Burgundavial04:11
LaserJockyeah, I've never been to any other linuxy conference/summit so I can't really compare it to anything04:14
LaserJockIt was really cool to meet people though04:15
BurgundaviaI wish I could have made it and GUADEC04:15
BurgundaviaI will not miss next year04:15
LaserJockheh, I just realized yesterday that GUADEC was a Gnome conf.04:16
jsgotangcome too04:16
jsgotangcoi planned going to germany, but work went to the way04:16
jsgotangcoi had the chance to go to this year, but then, i didn't prepare for it04:16

Burgundaviaare we talking about conferences?04:22
LaserJockyeah04:22
crimsunmpt: sweet, that sounds like a TODO ;)04:22
Burgundaviathen my point stands04:22
LaserJockperhaps, but I heard some somewhat encouraging things in Paris04:23
LaserJockbut mostly Brazil was the hot topic for the next one it seemed04:24
BurgundaviaLaserJock: you were thinking about Ubucon no?04:25
LaserJockpehaps, if it happens04:25
jsgotangcoLaserJock: i doubt that (bandwidth considering)04:25
LaserJockI haven't seen any activity since that first week04:25
jsgotangcoBrazil has always come up during BoFs but only got to as far as LP sprints considering almost half of LP is brazilian04:26
Burgundaviayep04:26
BurgundaviaBrazil is not too expensive to get to, either04:26
LaserJockjsgotangco: that would be my worry too, especially since Paris seemed pretty bad04:26
jsgotangcoyeah04:26
jsgotangcowould you go if its in India?04:26
jsgotangcohehe04:26
jsgotangco(Chennai for instance)04:27

jsgotangcoyou should see the other side of the world!04:32
jsgotangcoand get your bodyclock really get screwed04:33

LaserJockscare?04:43
jsgotangcoor was it the other way around?04:43
jsgotangcolol04:43
LaserJockit was great to meet everybody, although I'm somewhat antisocial ;-)04:45
LaserJockIan is the only one that I'm going to have a harder time talking to after meeting in person :-)04:46
LaserJocksome of that was due to reading about him more04:46
jsgotangcoi decided to go back to the hotel with you on the last day because i thought you're already a bit worried on going back and all...04:46
LaserJockyeah, I was04:47
LaserJockwell, I was really trying to get ahold of my wife and I couldn't get through04:48
LaserJockand Paris was not exactly the most friendly place to me ;-)04:48
jsgotangcoyeah it can get scary when you're all alone in a foreign place with no one to call to, or at least know anyone from it04:48
LaserJockI'm soooo glad you guys were there04:49
LaserJockthe Edubuntu/LTSP gang was awesome04:49
jsgotangcorodrigo is pretty cool too :)04:50
LaserJockyeah04:50
LaserJockand Jonathon was great, especially when I lost my wallet04:51
LaserJockanyway ...04:52
LaserJockit's too bad we didn't really have any real doc BOFs04:53

LaserJockjsgotangco: I'm not sure what to do with the Developer's Reference, I did some more digging around06:59
LaserJockjsgotangco: It's written in debiandoc SGML07:00
crimsunyou /love/ debdoc.07:00
jsgotangcojoy07:00
LaserJockand the debian version seems to be updated 1 or 2 times a year07:00
LaserJockI'm already behind (using the last 2005 version)07:00
LaserJockand it seems debian want to covert to docbook07:01
LaserJockso I'm wondering if it really would be better to fork and covert to docbook07:01
jsgotangcoprobably ask ian's opinion07:02
LaserJockI don't know how I'm supposed to maintain the doc as a giant patch to Debian that will need to be merged all the time07:02
jsgotangcoim sure you'll get a good reply =)07:02
crimsunI try to avoid deltas07:02
crimsunsure, it means you end up tearing your hair out07:03
crimsunon the other hand, it forces you to learn a lot rather quickly07:03
LaserJockwell, see he created debiandoc SGML so I'm a little nervous to be like "let's convert to docbook!"07:03
jsgotangcolol07:03
crimsunwell, do you /want/ to convert to docbook?07:03
jsgotangcobe brave07:03
LaserJockbut as upstream seems like they are going to be do it soon ...07:03
crimsunif so you want four or five solid technical advantages07:04
LaserJockmy bigger concern is carrying around this huge delta07:04
crimsunthat should be the least of your concerns07:04
LaserJockI'd really rather fork it and create a seperate package07:04
crimsun...and create more work for yourself?07:05
crimsunwell, it's your time07:05
LaserJockcrimsun: well, I'd kinda like to know before I start putting a lot of effort07:05
jsgotangcoif the delta can be justified why not?07:05
LaserJockwell, as I see it, it will take more effort to maintain a huge patch on the debian doc than to just fork it07:05
crimsunjsgotangco: that's my point. If a fork is being proposed, there have to be solid technical advantages, not just maintenance advantages07:05
LaserJockI'm also wondering about translations issues07:06
crimsunok, suppose you fork it and use docbook. How do you propose to keep upstream current of your changes?07:07
=== bhuvan is distributing Ubuntu Tshirts. puggy.symonds.net/~bhuvan/ubuntu_tshirt.html
LaserJockcrimsun: I don't know that upstream should care07:08
crimsunLaserJock: why not? You're not necessarily changing upstream wholescale, but you may well have patches07:09
LaserJockhmmm07:09
LaserJockright now I'd term it a derivative more than a patch07:12
jsgotangcobhuvan: did you silk screened it yourself? =)07:13
jsgotangcobecause its on a bunch of newsprints heh07:13
bhuvanjsgotango :) nope. it's just during the photo session :) :)07:14
jsgotangcobhuvan: you should have worn it and took a picture of yourself hehe07:14
bhuvanjsgotangco: i'll do that07:15
LaserJockcrimsun and jsgotangco: so you guys think its worth it to try to maintain it as a delta?07:18
jsgotangcoweigh the technical advantages/disadvantagas as crimsun said so07:19
jsgotangcomake up a list07:19
jsgotangcowith a brief explanation and show it to ian since you're the guy who approached him about it07:19
LaserJockk, I just got a little overwhelmed when I saw that I've got a pretty sizable diff from the lates debian version that I'll need to merge before I've even started07:20
jsgotangcoim sure if you have data it should be easier for people to chew it and accept your proposal07:21
jsgotangcoand probably even say "hey, i could even add this to rosetta so.."07:22
LaserJockyeah, I'd like to be able to have translations, Debian has french and japanese version in the package07:22
LaserJockso any diff will basically through out those translations unless I can get people to translate them for me07:23

mdkemvirkkil: open it in a text editor09:11
mvirkkilmdke: I could consider adding a configuration switch for outputting PrettyPrinted.09:11
jsgotangcoit is09:11
mdkethen run "tidy -xml -i filename > newfilename" and compare the two09:11
mvirkkilYeah, I know what you are talking about.09:11
mvirkkil"xmllint --format filename" probably does that too.09:12
mdkeok09:12
mvirkkilmdke: The thing is that it could easily break the validity of the generated document, since pcdata is only allowed inside certain tags.09:12
mdkeso it does09:12
mvirkkilmdke: and the spaces and enters are "text" ==pcdata which isn't allowed everywhere, according to the dtd.09:13
mdkeit doesn't seem to break it for the A_complete_book file09:14
mdkeanyway, it would definitely be worth working that out, if it is possible09:14
mvirkkilthe "ugliness" is just a result of how I serialize the dom, I could just as easily use the PrettyPrint which would result in the output you are looking for.09:14
mdkeright09:15
mdkewe definitely need it like that to be able to work with it09:15
mdkeso it's either you, or us doing it manually afterwards :)09:15
mvirkkilmdke: Ok, I'll make the PrettyPrint default then.09:15
mdkegreat09:15
mvirkkilmdke: done09:17
mdkemvirkkil: looks the same...09:19
mvirkkilmdke: You are hitting the browser cache bug.09:19

mvirkkilSo dropping in Admonitions-macro, Insert-macro, text_docbook-formatter, text_book-formatter, and BuildBook-action in addition to the trivial patch to Page.py should make everything pretty much work.10:47
mdkemvirkkil: when is 1.6 expected to be released?10:47
mvirkkilThere might be some issues with the FootNote macro, since it might still use illegal formatter calls in 1.5, but I don't know.10:47
mvirkkilmdke: Quoting moin-devs "when it's done"10:47
mdkeand how is it now?10:48
mvirkkilmdke: I've bugged them about that issue too.10:48
mvirkkilmdke: I think they'll hold out for the SoC work to be completed. 10:48
mdkeoh, so quite soon then10:48
mvirkkilmdke: Well, my very non-informed guess would be before christmas.10:49
mdkeah10:49
mdkewell, it might be worth trying to get a patch for 1.5 then, I suspect most projects would be willing to try and get 1.5 working rather than wait until christmas10:50
mvirkkilmdke: But I don't know. Stuff like the backend rewrite seems to be quite far from completion, and might take some time to stabilize.10:50
mvirkkilmdke: but then again, they might just push 1.6 when the SoC is done with everything thats good then, and wait for 1.7 for the backend stuff.10:51
mvirkkilmdke: There is just no way of knowing at this point.10:51
mdkeright10:51
mdkewell, I suspect that we will look to upgrade to 1.5 fairly soon10:52
mvirkkilmdke: My SoC timetable is quite tight, so I won't be able to look in to creating ports. 10:53
mdkeah, ok10:54
mdkemvirkkil: well, maybe I will have a go, or I will ask you to help me after you finish the project or something10:55
mvirkkilmdke: Ok. You might just want to test dropping the files I mentioned, and patching Page.py (with http://hg.thinkmo.de/moin/1.6-docbook-mvirkkil?cs=26a8f963474c) 10:59
mvirkkilmdke: naturally not on a production wiki ;) 11:00

mvirkkilmdke: Ok, using PrettyPrint will cause the rendering of <screen> to break.01:26
mvirkkilmdke: In addition, I just synced with trunk, and that seems to have broken something else. I'll need to investigate a bit.01:27
mvirkkilmdke: Ok, so trunk just changed how spaces are handled in links, which broke my "A complete book" example. Now fixed.01:33
mvirkkilmdke: But the prettyprint issue remains.01:33

mdkemvirkkil: ah, pesky screen01:34
mvirkkilmdke: One could hack around it, by removing any linebreaks and whitespace between <screen> and <!CDATA01:35
mvirkkilmdke: or force a linefeed to begin <!CDATA01:35
mvirkkilI mean "force a linefeed to be inserted at the beginning of a <!CDATA01:36
mdkehmm01:36
=== Luna-Tick [n=Luna-Tic@203-211-91-19.ue.woosh.co.nz] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkehow is the rendering broken if there is a whitespace after <screen>?01:36
mdkewe have a lot of those :)01:36
mvirkkilWell, you get the whitespace inside the screen. So the first line is indented by the amount of whitespace.01:37
Luna-TickHi guys01:37
mdkemvirkkil: what about linebreaks? same thing?01:38
mvirkkilmdke: http://users.tkk.fi/~mvirkkil/whitespacebug.png01:39
Luna-TickI was working through https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto (the Public key authentication step) and found that I needed to add an ssh-add between generating the key (ssh-keygen -t dsa) and sending it (ssh-copy-id) in order to get the step-by-step instructions to work.01:40
mvirkkilPrettyprint is smart enough not to mess with the contents of a textnode with no children. Unfortunately <screen> has a <!CDATA section as a "child"01:40
mdkeLuna-Tick: yeah, good point01:40
Luna-Tick:)01:41
mvirkkilbut the <!CDATA that contains the actual text, is a "textnode" so it doesn't get messed up01:41
mvirkkilmdke: In that image, each ----- mark should start at the same place horizontally.01:42
mdkei c01:42
mdkeyeah01:42
Luna-TickI don't know anything about it so thought I would tell someone else rather than change it. Shall I report it somewhere else or is it fine leaving it with you? (Sorry - I see you are in the middle of a different convo)01:42
mdkeLuna-Tick: you can fix it yourself, or I will fix it later on, if you prefer01:43
mvirkkilmdke: But this will also hit us with a vengance when we do syntax highlighting, 01:43
mdkehmm?01:43
mvirkkilmdke: well, since each syntax highlighted bit is an element, but the whitespace between them is _very_ significant.01:44
mvirkkilsignificant == important to preserve.01:44
mdkewhat sort of syntax highlighting are you talking about?01:45
=== WaterSevenUb [n=WaterSev@azevedo.astro.up.pt] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mdkemvirkkil: so really this is a bug in whatever program you are using to make the pretty xml code, it should leave screen alone, right?01:45
Luna-TickThanks mdke - it would be great if you could. Also, you may like to check the name of the authorized_keys file in the doc; it is given as "authorized_keys2" but it seems to be "authorized_keys" on a Dapper box. Keep up the great work, everyone, we all appreciate it!01:45
mvirkkilmdke: Well, codesnippets are automatically syntax highlighted thanks to moins support for doing so. Docbook supports giving a <programlisting>01:46
Luna-Tickciao01:47

mdkemvirkkil: ah, i see01:47
mvirkkilmdke: Hmm.. Looking at the trivial example I have, it might work to just strip any linebreaks and whitespace that are around a <!CDATA section.01:48
mdkebut it's a bug in the program you use for the pretty code, rather than in your thing, right?01:49
mvirkkilmdke: Yes.01:49
mdkewhat program is that, xmllint?01:49
mvirkkilmdke: no, it's the 4dom01:50
mvirkkilmdke: no, it's the 4dom's string serializer, which can do prettyprint01:50
mvirkkilmdke: But the same problem might exist in xmllint.01:50
mdkeI don't know. But maybe you can report it and get it fixed by those developers01:50
mvirkkilmdke: Hmm.. A quick manual test would indicate that xmllint doesn't have that problem.01:53
mdkegood news01:54
mvirkkilmdke: 3.5years old report of the problem: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/xml-sig/2002-December/008893.html02:00

mvirkkil:/02:06
mvirkkilmdke: The CDATA stuff wasn't in my original version, but were added later. The commit doesn't explicitly mention why they were needed. Maybe I could get away with removing them.. No, wait, I couldn't, since that would make it impossible to handle <programlisting> without special casing it. This way we just need to "special case" CDATA nodes, which is ok imho.02:18
mvirkkilor the formatter would need to have proper support for them in the first place...grumble grumble...02:19
mdkemvirkkil: I suppose generating it without pretty print and then running xmllint or tidy over it wouldn't be a good option?02:28
mvirkkilmdke: On the serverside? It would add a really weird dependency.02:30
mvirkkilmdke: On the client side? Yeah, sure. Why not.02:30
mdkemvirkkil: I don't know which side :)02:31
