[14:23] <SiDi> Is there a way to download a package and all its dependencies that are not on a default install of release #.## in packages.ubuntu;com ?
[14:49] <newz2000> SiDi: Well... you can use synaptic to create some kind of bundle of packages that you can put on a mem stick or cd for an offline computer
[14:53] <newz2000> here's an interesting php prob my brother had...
[14:53] <newz2000> he is trying to pull in the rss feed for a google calendar using simplexml and it always comes back in spanish, even though he's not a spanish speaker
[14:54] <newz2000> http://www.psi-akl.com/functions.php and http://www.psi-akl.com/functions.phps
[14:54] <newz2000> if he uses wget or GET to view the url it's in spanish, but w/ lynx it's in english
[14:56] <SiDi> with lynx his favourite language environment variable is set
[14:56] <SiDi> i guess there is a way to append such variables before sending a request to the google server
[14:57] <newz2000> I've not used fopen() or fopen wrappers (used by simplexml) much. Do you know a way to send this info to google in the request?
[14:57] <SiDi> No /D
[14:57] <SiDi> I've never used simplexml
[14:58] <newz2000> Either there's not much info on the web about this or the search terms are too diluted to get meaningful results
[14:58] <newz2000> (or maybe I don't know how to search properly)
[15:01] <SiDi> you can add attributes to load_file but i doubt there's one for environment vars for a request to a remote server
[15:01] <SiDi> maybe its not the way he's meant to get the file
[15:02] <newz2000> I think he tried fopen() and wget as well w/ same results
[15:02] <SiDi> can't he download the file locally (with more appropriate tools for http requests) and then load it ?
[15:04] <newz2000> I'll check
[15:04] <newz2000> gotta step away for a bit, be back soon
[15:51] <newz2000> I think he's trying to learn how to do it using PHP. And really, this should work.
[15:57] <Agafonov> newz2000: do you have some time to talk on website updating? http://www.ubuntu.com/support/local#russian
[15:57] <newz2000> Agafonov: yes, what's up?
[15:59] <Agafonov> information is not comlete and wrong
[16:07] <newz2000> Agafonov: can I confirm that you're authorized to suggest changes?
[16:07] <newz2000> how about this, would you send me an email to matthew.nuzum@canonical.com with the suggested changes?
[16:08] <Agafonov> I'm coordinator but not Russian LoCo contact :(
[16:08] <Agafonov> I can ask Team contact to send our text.
[16:09] <newz2000> Agafonov: that would be fine
[16:10] <Agafonov> Is it supposed to be in English or we can use our native language?
[16:10] <newz2000> Hmm. Let me look at it, just a moment
[16:10] <Agafonov> currently it is in russian
[16:11] <newz2000> I think the way you have it now is good
[16:11] <Agafonov> but there only 2 locos are
[16:11] <Agafonov> others are in english
[16:12] <newz2000> Agafonov: what do you suggest?
[16:13] <Agafonov> I personally prefer russian but how they can find that page if they do not know english? :)
[16:14] <newz2000> this is one of our projects for this summer actually. :-)
[16:14] <newz2000> but ubuntu.com caters to english speakers
[16:15] <newz2000> we'll be adding a feature to help guide non-english speakers to the right place but we're not quite there yet
[16:16] <newz2000> so if the content needs changed, please suggest changes and I'll update it. If the way to find the content needs changed, hold tight, we'll be working on that soon
[16:16] <Agafonov> I saw some suggestions on bugtracker.
[16:17] <Agafonov> At least links to [approved] LoCo sites will be nice :)
[16:18] <newz2000> we do that now
[16:18] <newz2000> on that page you linked to
[16:18] <Agafonov> content is completely out of date so expect email.
[16:18] <Agafonov> that page is too deep :(
[16:18] <Agafonov> ok, thanks.
[16:19] <newz2000> we'll be moving to one page per language
[16:20] <Agafonov> Just call - our translators will help :)
[16:22] <newz2000> ok, will do
[21:48] <Agafonov> newz2000: we sent you email, but please, ignore it :(
[21:48] <newz2000> :-)
[21:48] <Agafonov> the socond one is good :)
[21:49] <Agafonov> * second
[21:51] <newz2000> ok
