coalwaterhello08:00
mdkehi coalwater08:02
coalwateri need to ask a small something, u guys mentain the wikis right?08:02
mdkethe help wiki, but we might be able to help - go ahead08:03
coalwateri know it's gonna be silly ,but i wanted to fix a link on an immutable page08:04
coalwaterhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/MoinMoin08:04
mdkeah, we can't change those pages either. They come with the upstream software08:05
coalwatersee, apparently all the links that are linking to moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de were moved to moinmo.in08:06
coalwaterand ok o well lol08:06
coalwaterguess it needs to be changed from the core then right ? lol nvm then08:06
mdkewe would need to upgrade the wiki in order to fix that08:06
mdkeI believe an upgrade is planned though08:06
coalwaterso there isn't any like super wiki user huh :D08:07
mdkenot for these pages, I don't think08:07
mdkeonly someone with administrative access to the server could touch them08:07
coalwaterok, thanks08:08

mdkeevening all21:10
UndiFineDhello mdke21:16
Rocket2DMngood afternoon folks21:16
mdkehey Rocket2DMn21:17
Rocket2DMnhey mdke , did you get my question a couple weeks ago about XSL changes to the docbook builds?21:18
UndiFineDis there an official full lamp guide ?21:18
mdkeRocket2DMn: I think so but you weren't around when I saw it. What was it again?21:18
Rocket2DMnUndiFineD, there is some stuff in the serverguide, not sure if it covers everything though - https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/lamp-applications.html21:18
Rocket2DMnmdke, i have some changes to clean up the docbook html build, i wasnt sure if you wanted to have it committed though21:19
Rocket2DMni have all the validation errors cleaned up except one21:19
UndiFineDas I tried to get something going: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Docs/SoD201121:19
Rocket2DMnahh summer of documentation :)21:19
Rocket2DMnyours truly started that21:20
Rocket2DMnglad to see its still going21:20
UndiFineDthanks :)21:20
mdkeRocket2DMn: what are the reasons against committing it?21:20
Rocket2DMnnot much really, i'd like it tested first though21:20
Rocket2DMnthe biggest concern i have was a change to the CSS realting to the search in the header21:21
mdkeok. I'm not that knowledgeable about html validity issues21:21
Rocket2DMnwe have a <script> and a <noscript> copy of the search stuff - they had the same ID which was an error, so i gave one a new ID21:21
mdkeoh right21:21
Rocket2DMni just wanted to make sure it worked correcty21:22
UndiFineDI really like: achecker.ca21:22
mdkei'm happy for you to commit if it improves things; although if there are xsl changes, then possibly they should also be resolved upstream unless the changes are with our specific code21:22
Rocket2DMnthe only error remaining relates to that as well, it complains that <form> element is not allowed there21:22
Rocket2DMnmdke, the XSL changes are just for ubuntu-docs wrapper around the docbook-xsl, no upstream changes21:22
mdkeok, cool21:23
Rocket2DMnmdke, i can commit it in a few minutes if you want to test it out.  i think i saw that you are planning on pushing a SRU soon21:23
mdkecommit it to oneiric if you think it needs a bit of testing21:23
mdkeI sent a SRU this morning for gnome-user-docs in natty, if that's the same one you are thinking of21:23
Rocket2DMnmdke, oneiric is different, that has a completely different build script21:23
mdkeoh, I thought that was the one you were working on21:24
Rocket2DMnim talking ubuntu-docs (g-u-d isnt docbook), and its for natty and earlier21:24
mdkeso it's the docbook stuff you are working on?21:24
Rocket2DMnoneiric has the mallard transformations21:24
mdkeright, also gnome-user-docs in natty21:24
Rocket2DMnyes, docbook only, i can send you the patch to apply to your own checkout if you want to test it befor ei commit21:24
mdkeI'm happy for you to go ahead21:24
Rocket2DMnok, standby ill double check the work now and commit it21:25
mdkewhat do we do with help.u.com? can we fix the html with sed or should we look at rebuilding?21:25
Rocket2DMnmdke, you mean the static pages at the top level?21:26
mdkeI mean everything21:26
Rocket2DMnthat's what this is for, so we would be better off pushing a new build once the changes are in the correct stable branches21:27
Rocket2DMntrying to use sed on that would be way too much work i think21:27
Rocket2DMnprobably unreliable too21:28
mdkeok, that's what I figured but I wasn't sure how bad things were ;)21:28
Rocket2DMnmdke, the XSL is run on every page, so the problem affects all of them21:29
Rocket2DMnthe top level index page is not correct either, it may be easier to copy over the actual content of the page into an index.html that was correctly generated21:30
mdkesure, but it depends on the type of problem. But I've got the idea21:30
Rocket2DMn(there are a couple of other static pages at the top level too i think)21:30
j1mchi all21:30
mdkehey Jim21:30
Rocket2DMnhey j1mc21:31
Rocket2DMnmdke, i just committed the 90% fix21:31
Rocket2DMngrab the update and do a HTML build21:31
Rocket2DMnit should only get 1 validation error now (natty)21:31
j1mcRocket2DMn: it sounds like you're talking about the html build of the server guide21:33
j1mcis that right?21:33
j1mcdocbook -> xslt -> html ?21:33
Rocket2DMnj1mc, not just the serverguide, all html builds21:33
j1mcah, ok21:33
Rocket2DMndocbook generated ones that is21:33
j1mcoh, you mean the 'maverick and earlier' desktop help, too, then?21:33
Rocket2DMnmallard in oneiric is another story, i pushed a fix for that a few weeks ago.  it's a workaround until upstream generates a HTML5 doctype themselves21:34
j1mcok21:34
j1mcthat is a good idea to work on with upstream, i think. html5 builds for the yelp-xsl builds. at least something to consider.21:35
Rocket2DMnj1mc, it literally just inserts the header into the html files after the build is done21:36
Rocket2DMni tried having it done during the XSL build from mallard->html5 but it failed miserably21:36
j1mcah21:36
j1mci am just learning xslt... going through a big xslt book. i figure it was time for me to learn it.21:36
j1mcs/figure/figured21:37
Rocket2DMnyeah, either the XSLT version just doesn't understand what the HTML5 header is, or the parser doesnt know and it screwd stuff up21:37
* j1mc nods21:37
Rocket2DMnand i could inject it statically into the XSLT either21:37
j1mcthanks for that, Rocket2DMn21:37
Rocket2DMncouldnt*21:37
Rocket2DMnnp, i have some experience with XSLT, it can take awhile to grasp of how it actually behaves21:37
Rocket2DMnit actually reminded me of a programming language i dabbled with briefly in college which treated inputs in a templated fashion, i dont recall what language it was though21:38
mdkethanks Rocket2DMn21:39
mdkeRocket2DMn: some of those things you have changed I think are still used in gnome-user-docs/natty and ubuntu-docs/oneiric21:39
Rocket2DMnit might have been LISP, but i'm not sure21:39
Rocket2DMnmdke, yes, oneiric ubuntu-docs is up to date though21:39
mdkeparticularly the ones to do with the Google search I think21:39
j1mcmdke: should we do any cleanup on the ubuntu-doc-committers list? there is at least one guy, george lesica, who contributed to xubuntu docs, but it was years ago.21:40
Rocket2DMni actually came up with the docbook fixes first but never committed them, then did the oneiric stuff and committed that b/c i got it all working properly21:40
mdkeRocket2DMn: oh I see, in revision 721:40
j1mci'm still in touch w/him. he's in illinois.21:40
Rocket2DMnmdke, see http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc/ubuntu-docs/oneiric/revision/721:41
mdkedoes the css also need to change there?21:41
j1mci guess it's a low priority21:41
mdkej1mc: it's not a bad idea, I've sometimes thought about that myself. Should we write to people to ask, do you think?21:41
mdkeor maybe set an expiry on the team so that people can renew themselves every 6 months or so21:42
j1mci think an initial note would be nice. an inquiry of sorts.21:42
j1mcthere are people like nixternal (richard johnson) who are on that list but aren't contributing now, but ... richard could come back.21:43
j1mci wouldn't want to remove him.21:43
mdkeyes, he should stay, it's more like those who haven't contributed for many years21:43
j1mcright21:43
Rocket2DMnmdke, i dont recall seeing any css errors in the oneiric branch, let me check the output21:44
mdkeRocket2DMn: I was just thinking that you changed the Google search css in the docbook builds, and I think that I just copied those over for the mallard build21:44
mdke(before you changed it)21:44
Rocket2DMnmdke, is there a CSS file in oneiric?21:46
mdkeit's all in ubuntu.xsl21:47
Rocket2DMnah i see21:47
Rocket2DMni thought i had the errors fixed in oneiric, but now i'm seeing some21:48
Rocket2DMnnot relating to namespaces though21:48
mdkeI think any errors in oneiric will also be in gnome-user-docs/natty21:49
mdkeincluding the errors you've fixed already21:49
mdkeif you don't mind poking around, that's much appreciated21:49
Rocket2DMnyeah i21:52
Rocket2DMnill look around, havent done work in the gnome-user-docs branches yet for this i dont think21:52
Rocket2DMni think w3 may have updated their html5 checker, b/c i asnt getting these errors before (complains about img elements not having an alt attribute)21:53
mdkethanks dude21:55
* mdke -> signing off for the evening21:55
j1mclater, mdke21:56
j1mcRocket2DMn: i noticed that i couldn't switch a bug from being assigned to ubuntu-docs to the server guide21:56
j1mchave you noticed that?21:56
Rocket2DMnj1mc, ubuntu-docs is an ubuntu package, serverguide is an upstream project21:58
j1mcis there a reason for that?21:58
Rocket2DMn(we also have ubuntu-docs as an upstream project but we dont track bugs there anymore)21:58
Rocket2DMnserverguide is not an ubuntu package anymore21:58
j1mcah, ok21:58
j1mcdo you know what we should do when someone files a bug against the ubuntu-docs package but the bug actually applies to the server guide?21:59
Rocket2DMnlooks like ubuntu-serverguide was last a package in lucid21:59
* j1mc nods21:59
Rocket2DMnj1mc, open the task against the serverguide project.  unless you think its something we'll do a SRU for, close the task against ubuntu-docs21:59
Rocket2DMnwe still have a half dozen or so serverguide bugs i left open that we might SRU, but the rest are closed22:00
j1mcah, cool.22:01
j1mci see how mdke did it with this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/78538922:01
ubot2Launchpad bug 785389 in ubuntu-docs "Bug in dovecot-postfix configuration documentation" [Undecided,Invalid]22:01
j1mcthat's what i needed to know22:01
* j1mc feels sleepy. i don't know why i have felt sleepy somewhere between 2-4pm all week.22:02
Rocket2DMnyeah j1mc  that's the correct approach22:02
j1mcok - i'm going to take off for a bit. thanks for your help, Rocket2DMn22:07
Rocket2DMnmdke, i see you did a community interview, very cool23:19
