| iandotcom | hey everyone | 01:04 |

| cody-somerville | hi | 01:06 |
| iandotcom | i asked this question on the forums, whats the difference between help.ubuntu.com/community and wiki.ubuntu.com? | 01:13 |
| iandotcom | i'm not sure which one i should be adding stuff to | 01:14 |
| Flannel | iandotcom: help is for "support" sorts of things, wiki is for organizational stuff | 01:15 |
| Flannel | most (if not all) of the wiki.u.c support-ish/helpish pages have been moved (and redirect) to their new versions on h.u.c | 01:16 |
| iandotcom | @Flannel: sweet, cheers :) | 01:18 |
| iandotcom | one more thing, my name on my wiki account is "Ian263", is there any way to change that so it appears as a proper wikiname like "IanHutchinson" | 01:24 |
| Flannel | You may be able to change your wiki account, I'm not really sure. It'd have to be done through people, not through the wiki. | 01:25 |
| iandotcom | any pointers on who i would go to? | 01:26 |
| bimberi | iandotcom: Change your WikiName at your Launchpad page - click on Update Wiki Names | 01:33 |
| iandotcom | cheers bimberi | 01:42 |

| cody-somerville | hi nixternal | 05:20 |
| nixternal | wasabi homeskillet | 05:25 |
| cody-somerville | nixternal, so I'm not the only one not overly pleased? lol | 05:26 |
| nixternal | not by the least bit | 05:26 |
| nixternal | and I think I forgot to CC everyone and their mother in that response | 05:26 |
| cody-somerville | ah, yes. | 05:28 |
| cody-somerville | You only sent it to our council list | 05:28 |
| nixternal | there, now everyone will get a copy :) | 05:30 |
| ikonia | Pici: #ubuntu-doc - not #ubuntu-docs | 16:03 |
| Pici | ikonia: I did say -doc | 16:03 |
| fde | Pici: Guess I typed it wrong... | 16:03 |
| Pici | fde: I figured ;) | 16:03 |
| ikonia | ooh | 16:04 |
| ikonia | Pici: so you did | 16:04 |
| fde | Ok... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto this page describes how to hold a package, not pin one... it's different... pinning is described here: http://wiki.debian.org/AptPinning | 16:04 |
| fde | I can change the latter to better fit Ubuntu, but how would I go about renaming for former so that info isn't lost entirely? | 16:05 |
| fde | Any suggestions or pointers on how to go about doing that? | 16:08 |
| fde | (for those that don't know, pinning is the process that allows you to select from one version while maintaining a previous... holding keeps the current version always, so you can see they are vastly different) | 16:11 |
| fde | It is super seeded by backports in almost all cases these days, but it is still misleading to call holding a package pinning it. | 16:12 |
| ompaul | you can pin to an older version if that is your want | 16:13 |
| ompaul | so pinning is still an option | 16:14 |
| fde | ompaul: Sure, but it's not the same as holding... the Ubuntu's wiki calls the holding howto "PinningHowto" | 16:14 |
| fde | ompaul: Please take a look at the links I provided.... | 16:15 |
| ompaul | fde, point | 16:16 |
| ompaul | I had not looked | 16:16 |
| fde | ompaul: So I would I rename PinningHowto to AptHoldHowto or something similar, and replace PinningHowto with the correct info? | 16:16 |
| fde | so how* | 16:17 |
| ompaul | the likes of mdke would be an authority on the correct process for this | 16:17 |
| ompaul | however he is marked away at this time | 16:17 |
| fde | ompaul: So try back later? | 16:18 |
| fde | ompaul: Or is it likely he'll see this and respond? :P | 16:19 |
| ompaul | hang around as long as you can is my suggestion | 16:19 |
| fde | Will do. | 16:20 |

| mdke | fde: (In case I'm not around at the moment, please provide a bit of information about what you want and I will respond when I get back) | 20:18 |
| fde | mdke: Related to renaming a wiki page that is incorrect, please /msg me when you're around, thank you. | 20:19 |
