jenkinsdutchie: I will have ago if you like00:40
godbyk-sagandutchie: sure. what's up?00:41
dutchiegodbyk-sagan: http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/invoice/ # Why can't I do "sudo tlmgr install invoice"?00:42
dutchiegodbyk-sagan: any ideas?01:00
dutchiegodbyk-sagan: i'm going to bed now, but if you work out what's going on, highlight/pm me01:04

=== ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse
godbyk-sagandutchie: it looks like it may not be packaged for TexLive.06:22
godbyk-sagandutchie: if you want to just try it out, download the zip file from http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/invoice/, unzip it, and copy the invoice.def and invoice.sty files to the same directory as your .tex file.06:23
godbyk-sagandutchie: Then you should be able to use \usepackage[whatever-options]{invoice}.06:23
nisshhgodbyk-sagan: hey06:24
nisshhgodbyk-sagan: got a minute?06:24
godbyk-sagannisshh: Sure. What's up?06:24
nisshhgodbyk-sagan: there are some code formatting issues with the dev manual06:24
nisshhwell06:24
nisshheither that or i dont know about a line-break command06:25
nisshhgodbyk-sagan: basically if i want to display some multi-line code, regardless of what i do, it displays it as one line06:25
nisshhgodbyk-sagan: do i have to use a line-break command or something??06:26
godbyk-sagannisshh: If you use the terminal environment, it should put the line breaks in the same place that they've been included in the source code.06:26
nisshhah06:26
godbyk-saganSo \begin{terminal} My code on multiple lines \end{terminal}06:27
nisshhgodbyk-sagan: i was using the /code command06:27
godbyk-saganah, the \code command will only work for in-line code (which should be wrapped).06:27
nisshhoh06:27
nisshhno wonder it was not working06:27
nisshhgodbyk-sagan: thanks dude, ill fix it06:28
godbyk-sagannisshh: no problem!06:28
godbyk-saganI'm not sure if those commands are explained well (or at all) in the style guide.06:28
godbyk-saganWe should start a list of things to fix / add to the style guide.06:28
godbyk-sagan(I think I started a list before. I'll have to find it.)06:28
nisshhgodbyk-sagan: yea, it would be great, then people will know EXACTLY what each command is appropriate for06:29
nisshhrather than guessing like i just did:)06:30
godbyk-sagannisshh: remind me sometime this week and I'll check the style guide and add something if necessary.06:30
nisshhgodbyk-sagan: sure06:30
godbyk-saganIf there's nothing else, I think I'll go read a book for a while.06:31
nisshhgodbyk-sagan: even if you just give me the relevant info and i can update the style guide for you, if you busy doing other stuff?06:31
godbyk-sagansure thing.06:31
nisshhgodbyk-sagan: sure, thanks again :)06:31
godbyk-saganI should set up a repository for the style guide itself.06:31
godbyk-saganRemind me to do that, too. :-)06:31
nisshhok06:31
godbyk-saganWe have some other tools (mostly Python and shell scripts) that could go into a repository, as well.06:32
nisshhthat would be good06:32
nisshhthat way people could just grab the latest revision06:32
godbyk-saganYeah, especially because they're otherwise just sitting on my hard drive where no one else can use them, modify them (fix them), etc.06:33
nisshhyea06:33
godbyk-saganAll right, I'm off to read some fiction.06:33
godbyk-saganG'night!06:33
nisshhgodbyk-sagan: ok, gnight :)06:33
dutchiegodbyk-sagan: thanks; now I just have to work out how to install realcalc11:24

* jenkins panics23:02
dutchieyou have 11 days to get it in before Feature Freeze23:11
jenkinswe never aimed to get in this release thank goodness23:13
dutchiewhy not?23:14
jenkinswe just had not really thought about it, also it gives us time to fix bugs as this release is rather a rewrite23:15
