mdkebhuvan, nixternal - thanks09:57
theCoremdke: I got a question about the docs09:57
mdketheCore: shoot09:57
theCoremdke. why the language entity in the server guide is  "&EnglishAmerican;"? and not "en-us" ?09:59
mdketheCore: no idea. I don't think such an entity is used at all09:59
mdkeyou can probably safely ignore it09:59
theCore&EnglishAmerican; doesn't exist in DocBook, I believe10:00
theCoremdke: do what to see the patch?10:00
theCoredo you*10:00
theCoremdke: well, xsltproc doesn't ignore it, and spit out many warning messages10:01
theCoreNo localization exists for "c" or "". Using default "en".10:03
mdketheCore: that's fine, all our docs contain that warning10:03
theCoremdke: that's not true10:03
theCoremdke: only the serverguide emits it10:04
theCorethat is because &EnglishAmerican; is undefined10:04
mdkewe've always had that error when building docs for the last 2 years at least10:05
mdkeit's never been an issue10:05
mdkeif you think it's important, feel free to file a bug or send a patch10:05
theCoreyes, that isn't an issue, but it is annoying10:05
theCoremdke: http://peadrop.com/files/server-language.patch http://peadrop.com/files/serverguide-language.patch10:07
mdkeright10:08
mdkeis there a reason to prefer en-us over en, as with the other docs?10:08
mdkeor indeed removing the entity entirely?10:09
theCorenot really, I just wanted to make the change transparent10:09
mdkeI see that basic-commands doesn't have the entity; that was created with wiki->docbook tools, and if we are going to start using them more, we may wish to be consistent with headers10:10
mdkeis there a disadvantage in not including the entity?10:10
theCoremdke: I don't know10:10
theCoreall the docs got it10:10
theCoreso, it would more trouble to remove it than to just change it10:11
mdketrue10:11
mdke(except basic-commands)10:11
theCore% find -name '*.xml' -print0 | xargs -0 grep '<!ENTITY language' | wc -l10:13
theCore12710:13
theCorehm there is a few more ...10:14
theCorefind -name '*.xml' -print0 | xargs -0 grep '<!ENTITY language \"&EnglishAmerican;\"'  | wc -l10:16
theCore4410:16
theCoreso, the majority is "en"10:16

theCoremdke: do you want me to change them to "en" or "en-us"?10:19
mdketheCore: I don't really have the knowledge to make such a decision :)10:20
theCoreah, well10:20
theCoreI will go for "en"10:20
mdkeok10:20
theCoredone10:21
theCorehttp://peadrop.com/files/en-language-entity.patch10:21
mdkelooks like the first two in the list have it twice10:22
theCorewait ...10:22
theCoremdke: yes10:23
mdkeand maybe some others there10:23
theCoremdke: that is what I just saw10:23
theCorewhy is it defined twice?10:24
theCorehm10:24
theCorethat is weird10:24
theCoreI going to learn what the ``language'' entity do, before changing it10:26
theCorethat would be a sage idea10:26
mdke:)10:26
=== jrshannon [n=jrshanno@S0106000f3d5cf89d.vc.shawcable.net] has left #ubuntu-doc []
theCoreoh, the current DocBook standard is 4.510:36
theCore(we use 4.1)10:37
theCorebut that isn't important10:37
theCoreoh v5.0, is coming soon10:46
theCorebut who cares ...10:46
theCoremdke: do you know how the docs are translated?10:50
mdkesure, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DocumentationTeam/Translation10:50
theCorethanks10:51
theCoreah, I found how it's used10:54
theCoreit's a custom entity10:54
theCore<book lang="&language;" id="x01">10:55
theCoreit used throughout the documents, removing it would be a pain10:56
theCoreI don't know yet why it's used, though10:56
mdke:)10:57
theCore<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"10:59
theCore"http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd" [10:59
theCorethe language is also specified by the DOCTYPE10:59
theCoreah... XML is a such redundant language...11:00
=== jrshannon [n=jrshanno@S0106000f3d5cf89d.vc.shawcable.net] has joined #ubuntu-doc
theCorehmm... I just though of an interesting hack11:11
theCoreWould it be good idea to a pre-commit hook to svn, that check the validity of the docbook files and refuse them if there are invalid?11:13
theCoreIn fact, it would be quite easy to do11:14
theCoremdke, what do you think?11:16
mdkeinteresting11:16
mdkelet me think about it11:16
nixternalmdke: think long and hard about it, you and I only commit docs that are validated ;)11:23
