MagicFab_hi - I'd like to know why there isn't or where is the Installation Guide for Ubuntu 6.06 ?02:08
LaserJockMagicFab_: should be in the installer02:09
LaserJockwe have maintained an installation guide since Breezy, I think02:10
MagicFab_LaserJock, I mean, at h.u.c02:10
=== MagicFab [n=magicfab@ubuntu/member/magicfab] has joined #ubuntu-doc
MagicFabsorry02:10
LaserJockMagicFab: because we don't have the doc02:10
MagicFabLaserJock, there wasn't an installation guide before edgy, right ?02:11
LaserJockthere is02:11
mptDanger, danger, Web site structure reflecting organizational details alert!02:11
LaserJockbut it's maintained by the installer devs02:11
MagicFabLaserJock, do u have an URL ?02:12
LaserJockI don't think there is one02:12
LaserJockas far as I know it's not online, but I could be wrong of course02:12
LaserJockbut I do know that the doc team isn't maintaining one since at least dapper02:12
LaserJockbecause the install devs (Colin mostly) took over that02:13
MagicFabWhen comparing https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ , the nice installation guide for 6.10 is not in 6.06. So who did the one for 6.10 ?02:15
MagicFabLooking at the credits, it seems it's an adaptation of several sources, for Ubuntu. But no mention on who adapted it.02:15
MagicFabYou say Colin Watson ? anyone else ?02:16
LaserJockyou'll have to ask mdke02:16
LaserJockI really don't know how the 6.10 one got there02:17
MagicFabLaserJock, ok, tx. for the hints - appreciated. It seems weird the "Long term support" version of Ubuntu does not have a propoer installation guide...02:17
MagicFabbut I see the reasons02:18
LaserJockwell, I know at least the Desktop CD doesn't02:18
LaserJocknow that Alternate CD installation guide on 6.10 looks like a Ubuntuized debian installer guide02:19
MagicFabthat's because it is :)02:19

LaserJockmdke: question for you. how easy would it be to insert "topics" into the new help system?10:24
mdkeLaserJock: very. But we're limiting the number of topics that appear on the front page to those which are really appropriate. What did you have in mind?10:25
LaserJockmdke: Edubuntu10:25
LaserJockwe'd like to sort of "add-on" to ubuntu-docs10:25
LaserJockand insert Edubuntu topics10:25
mdkeLaserJock: ah. well I suppose that removing some would be appropriate too. Lemme think quickly10:25
LaserJockI don't think we necessarily need to remove stuff10:26
mdkeyes, I think it would be easy10:26
LaserJockif it's a big deal10:26
mdkeedubuntu-docs should depend on ubuntu-docs, obviously10:26
LaserJockyep10:26
mdkeand we'd need to ensure the edubuntu docs appear in our custom yelp patch, when it's done10:26

mdkeLaserJock: erm. hmm.10:28
mdkenot sure10:29
LaserJockhmm, I wonder if it would be better for Edubuntu to just keep a copy of Ubuntu's topics and just have our seperate package10:30
willvdlwith profiling it could work?10:30
mdkeLaserJock: what do you mean?10:31
mdkewillvdl: maybe10:31
LaserJockI'm saying10:32
LaserJockif in edubuntu/10:32
LaserJockwe keep a copy of the ubuntu "topics" but take out ones we don't want10:32
LaserJockand add in ours10:32
mdkeand conflict on ubuntu-docs?10:32
LaserJockand then create a standalone edubuntu-docs package10:32
LaserJockyeah10:33
LaserJockbecause I can see that it could make packaging interesting as well10:33
mdkeYou'd still need to install them in /usr/share/ubuntu-docs though10:33
LaserJockwhy?10:33
LaserJockis stuff hard-coded?10:34
mdkeoh no, if you amended the omf files that would be ok10:35
mdkebut you have to leave the series-id in the omf files10:35
LaserJockyeah, I was thinking I could have an edubuntuize script10:35
LaserJockdoes the yelp frontpage come from ubuntu-docs or yelp itself10:36
