| bilalakhtar | since I am connecting from madinah I don't have time, so just giving you a heads up about that package ubuntu-manual thing | 07:15 |
| bilalakhtar | Since you are a design guy, which of the following approaches would you prefer? | 07:15 |
| bilalakhtar | 1) The source package should contain the manual source and should be compiled and made into a binary when needed | 07:16 |
| bilalakhtar | 2) Just put a PDF in the source package that copies into /usr/share/doc | 07:16 |
| bilalakhtar | 3) Get the postinst script to download the required PDF according to the locale and install it (example of this approach is flashplugin-nonfree package) | 07:17 |
| bilalakhtar | vish: When you come back, then select the best approach so that I can help dutchie package it and send a memo to me | 07:17 |
| bilalakhtar | I will have to leave soon | 07:18 |
| bilalakhtar | bye! | 07:18 |
| thorwil | good morning! | 08:51 |
| vish | popey: AlanBell: option 3 seems like an OK solution ^ what do you think? bilal's Q | 10:08 |
| vish | but what happens if the user locale doesnt have the manual ready ;p | 10:10 |
| vish | default to english? … | 10:10 |
| nisshh | vish, let the user know thats the case and then default to english | 10:11 |
| vish | nisshh: yea … but not sure what the bug reporter wants here ;) | 10:12 |
| nisshh | ah ok | 10:13 |
| popey | 1 imo | 10:14 |
| vish | nisshh: we can add some new ideas , but i think popey just wants it packaged | 10:14 |
| vish | \heh see :) | 10:14 |
| popey | we're not targetting maverick i thought | 10:14 |
| popey | so we could get the necessary dependancies to make it build (which is what AlanBell was working on) | 10:14 |
| vish | popey: but why the source? | 10:14 |
| popey | why not? | 10:15 |
| popey | thats how most packages are delivered | 10:15 |
| nisshh | meh yea | 10:15 |
| vish | hmm , not sure what the user wants from the source, they just want the pdf | 10:15 |
| popey | I am not saying deliver the source to the user | 10:15 |
| popey | I am saying the _source_ _package_ should contain the manual source | 10:15 |
| popey | launchpad builds a pdf | 10:16 |
| vish | ah right! yea | 10:16 |
| nisshh | popey, that sounds like the best approach tbh | 10:16 |
| AlanBell | 1 for certain | 11:21 |
| godbyk | (1) would be best, assuming it's possible. | 13:00 |
| dutchie | o/ | 13:07 |
| AlanBell | well with ccicons sorted then it certainly should be possible | 13:21 |
