=== Starting logfile irclogs/ubuntu-doc.log
mdkempt: I'd quite like to hear your views on the bzr issue, given that you're one of the few of us with a knowledge of the docteam processes and of bzr at the same time09:23
mptmdke, which bzr issue?09:32
mdkempt: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-doc/2007-August/009106.html09:37
=== Liz [n=liz@203.118.187.170] has joined #ubuntu-doc
mptmdke, bzr's speed will continue to improve over the coming months09:47
mptI have reported bugs on poor upload/download feedback, but I don't know when those will be fixed.09:47
mptAnother advantage that exists now is that people can easily work on multiple branches simultaneously -- instead of doing one, waiting for it to be reviewed, fixing it from the review, waiting for it to be checked in, then starting on the next change09:49
mpt(That may be possible with svn too without downloading a whole new copy of the source tree, but I don't know how)09:50
mdkehmm09:51
mdkempt: interesting09:51
mdkempt: would you mind posting to the mailing list about it (doesn't have to be today). I've got to disappear to work now09:52
mptok09:53
mdkethanks09:54

LaserJockmdke: still awake?12:17
mdkeLaserJock: yes, briefly12:17
LaserJockbzr thing12:17
mdkeya12:17
LaserJockI think it could be worthwhile to look into having a common branch12:17
mdkeI really think we'd need to keep the same structure12:18
LaserJockthen having ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu, and xubuntu branches12:18
mdkehrm12:18
LaserJockI think we could fairly easily provide a script that would put them together in the right places12:18
mdkeI'm just concerned about the potential divergence and confusion that might arise from so many branches12:18
LaserJockyes, that's understandable12:19
LaserJockmaybe we can ask the bzr people about some of that12:19
mdkealso, problems caused by the shared docs12:19
mdkeon the other hand, I'm worried that it's not a conventional way to host packages in bzr (i.e. having the debian directories randomly around the place)12:20
mdkebut then again, we do it in svn :)12:20
LaserJockyeah, but it's kinda a pain in the butt12:20
mdkeit's ugly12:20
LaserJockfor edubuntu I can't just take the edubuntu/ and make a package out of it12:21
mdkeyes12:21
LaserJockI've got to make sure I move/remove things to make it right12:21
mdkeI think resolving that issue is really independent of the bzr move issue12:21
LaserJockkinda12:21
mdkethe point is really that we can do in bzr what we currently do in svn12:22
LaserJockin svn it's easy to checkout a subdirectory12:22
LaserJockI don't think bzr can do that presently12:22
mdkeno biggie though, you generally need all our directories12:22
mdkeeven for edubuntu you need the common directories12:22
LaserJockI also find the sysadmin overhead argument to be a little lame12:23
LaserJocksure, but it would make sense to me to have "doc-base" and then "edubuntu" branches12:23
mdkeLaserJock: well, if the sysadmins find it a pain, we have to listen12:24
LaserJocksure12:24
CIA-32Ubuntu Documentation: philbull * r4286 ubuntu/hardware/C/hardware.xml: Merged power management into laptops, linked to touchpads from input section12:24
LaserJockbut people have been doing CVS/SVN repo hosting for a long time12:24
mdkeI don't really like the idea of having to get two branches to make a whole12:24
=== JanC [n=janc@lugwv/member/JanC] has joined #ubuntu-doc
LaserJockthe sysadmins are here to help us12:25
LaserJockso I'm not sure we should make that an overwhelming factor12:25
=== theCore [n=alex@ubuntu/member/theCore] has joined #ubuntu-doc
CIA-32Ubuntu Documentation: philbull * r4287 ubuntu/libs/gnome-menus-C.ent: Added several new entities (oodraw, touchpad, etc)12:25
LaserJockpossible svn repo downtime vs LP downtime might be better to look at12:25
mdkeis that a biggie? both are almost always up; and even whe LP is down, local commits should avoid problems12:26
LaserJockwell, did the svn repo go down?12:26
mdkeI can't remember it ever having gone down12:26
mdkeat least since I've been a contributor12:27
LaserJockk, that's a good thing :-)12:27
mdkemy memory is quite bad though12:27
LaserJockI just wondered what happened with the "compromise"12:27
LaserJockwe lost doc.ubuntu.com right?12:27
mdkeno, the svn server is in the datacentre12:28
mdkeright12:28
LaserJockso it comes down to the Canonical sysadmins not wanting to support svn12:28
mdkeyes12:28
mdkewe're the only project using it, I think12:29
mdkeI have to go to bed; email?12:29
LaserJockI might12:29
LaserJockI'm mostly fine with the bzr thing12:29
mdkeplease do :)12:29
LaserJockI just wanted a quick chat12:29
=== mdke nods
LaserJockhaven't talked with you for a while ;-)12:30
mdkewe should have a meeting if people start thinking the same way12:30
=== mdke hugs LaserJock
=== LaserJock hugs mdke back
mdkenight12:30
LaserJockcya12:30
LaserJockso, is anybody here a docuMENTEE? :-)12:31
LaserJocktheCore: ping12:31
theCoreLaserJock: hi12:35
LaserJocktheCore: anything happening with the packaging guide?12:37
theCorenothing yet, I have been too busy with Python core development12:38
LaserJockyou might want to have a look at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianPackagingHandbook12:38
LaserJockmore specifically see who's doing it and perhaps if the want to collaborate12:39
LaserJockI think it'd help if more Debian people got pulled in as well12:39
LaserJockthere's really no reason why a packaging guide can't be worked on jointly12:39
