pleia2nhandler: another pair of eyes to proof-read would be good16:12

nlsthzn_workpleia2: that awesome site you used last time to test all the links already used?16:42

pleia2nlsthzn_work: yep I'm doing them soon16:48
akgranerstill using the same scrips to pull those pleia2 ?16:48
akgraneroh wait do I have those on this machine?  /me wonders aloud....16:48
pleia2akgraner: there are scripts to pull the security and updates, not most stats afaik16:48
akgraneryou're right  - I was thinking of ask Ubuntu...16:49
akgranerone sec let me look  - I'll give you a hand..:-)16:50

zkriesseakgraner: Hey! Nice to see you on irc :)19:37
akgranerzkriesse, thanks - it's just been a weird year...:-/19:37
zkriesseakgraner: :/ yeah tht kinda sucks19:37
zkriesseGlad things are going better for you finally though :)19:37
akgranerme too!  Thank you!19:38
pleia2akgraner: ping21:02
akgranerpleia2, pong21:02
pleia2do you actually want to do the publishing (please do!) or do you want to just learn the script?21:03
pleia2scripts21:03
akgraneryes21:03
pleia2ok, so first step is grabbing all the new scripts from lp:uwn21:04
pleia2if you already have an uwn/ from bzr you can just cd into that directory and do "bzr pull" otherwise: bzr branch lp:uwn21:04
akgranerok I've never gotten anything from LP before - people would always just send me the scripts21:04
akgranerahh ok21:04
akgranerok one sec..21:05
akgranerok so I had to install bzr - sudo apt-get install bzr21:10
akgranerthen after that I ran: bzr branch lp:uwn21:10
akgranernow I am getting the following error - You have not informed bzr of your Launchpad ID, and you must do this to21:10
akgranerwrite to Launchpad or access private data.  See "bzr help launchpad-login".21:10
pleia2but it said it branched it, right?21:11
akgranerahh yes21:11
akgranerI got - Branched 16 revision(s).21:11
pleia2you don't need to write to it and there is no private data, so you can check it out anonymously without a problem21:11
pleia2do you have an uwn/ directory now?21:12
akgranerI do...21:12
pleia2ok, cd into that directory21:12
akgranercrap not on this machine I don't21:12
akgranerone sec let me create it - can you tell me how to do that from the command line21:12
pleia2the bzr command should have created it21:12
akgraneroh ok21:12
pleia2if it didn't then the checkout failed21:12
* akgraner looks21:13
akgranerakgraner@windorf:~$ cd uwn21:13
akgranerakgraner@windorf:~/uwn$21:13
pleia2great :)21:13
akgraneryep it did..21:13
pleia2ok, now open up fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl21:13
pleia2on line 15 there will be place to put your fridge login name21:14
pleia2my $o = WordPress::XMLRPC->new({21:14
pleia2        username => 'akgraner',21:14
pleia2so put in your username and password for fridge, then save the file21:14
akgranerahh ok so I need to edit the script then...21:15
akgranerone sec21:15
pleia2yep21:15
pleia2you don't need to do this every time you publish, this is just initial set up stuff21:16
akgranergotcha - now I opened it from the gui - how would someone open the file from the command line..21:17
pleia2nano fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl21:17
pleia2nano is a pretty simple text editor that comes with ubuntu21:17
pleia2but editing with gedit is fine21:17
* nlsthzn_work likes nano...21:21
akgranerpleia2, between response and content21:23
pleia2hm?21:24
akgranerline 15 including empty lines?21:24
pleia2it's the line just under21:24
pleia2my $o = WordPress::XMLRPC->new({21:24
akgranerI don't see that - one sec...21:24
pleia2says: username => 'FRIDGE USERNAME GOES HERE',21:25
akgranerpleia2, I don't think I am looking at the right script - I think I opened the one from my old UWN dir.. one sec let me move it..21:28
pleia2ok21:28
akgranerok so I had to go into the Fridge folder then the right script was there21:32
akgranerok edited21:33
akgranerand saved21:33
pleia2great21:34
akgranersorry for the delay21:35
pleia2ok, now are you in the new uwn/ directory?21:35
akgraneryep21:35

pleia2the last line of the file should be: system("fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl $issue");22:00
pleia2put a # before that, so it looks like:22:00
pleia2#system("fridge/publish-uwn-fridge.pl $issue");22:00
pleia2that will comment out running of that script, which is not working for us right now22:01
akgranerok22:04
pleia2once that's done, run the publish script again: perl publish-uwn-fridge.pl 22822:04
akgranerok have a prompt now22:04
akgraner:-)22:04
pleia2ok, that will have created uwn/issues/22822:05
pleia2so cd into issues/228/22:05
pleia2cd issues/228/22:05
akgranerakgraner@windorf:~/uwn/issues/228$22:05
pleia2in that directory you'll find all the files you need for publishing :)22:05
akgranerahh ok22:06
* akgraner looks22:06
akgranerSo now it's just copy and paste then?22:07
pleia2the one thing we haven't fixed yet is forum.post22:07
pleia2so open forum.post in gedit22:08
pleia2then go to Search > Replace22:08
pleia2search for \n\n22:08
pleia2replace with \n22:08
akgranergotcha22:08
akgranerbut everything else is cut and paste...22:08
pleia2then replace all22:08
pleia2yeah22:08
pleia2and might want to eyeball them all to make sure everything looks ok22:10
akgranerpleia2, I'm not seeing /n/n22:13
pleia2\n\n22:13
akgranerDOH22:13
akgranernm22:13
akgranerok also is this when you remove work in progress?22:15
pleia2oh, doh :(22:15
pleia2we should have done that first22:15
akgranerok I'll fix the copies22:15
akgraner:-)22:15
pleia2but it's ok, we can run the scripts again22:15
akgranerso you would remove it from the wiki and just run the scripts again22:15
pleia2yeah22:16
akgranerk22:16
akgranerjust getting that detail noted :-)22:16
pleia2oh, and add your name as a volunteer22:17
akgranernah..no worries :-)22:20
pleia2akgraner: did you want to do that and remove comments?22:20
pleia2I can do it if not22:20
akgranerI can remove the comments22:21
akgranerone sec22:21
akgraneris that the only manual part?22:21
akgranerremoving the work in progress and comments22:21
pleia2and making sure the publisher is added to credits ;)22:22
pleia2yes22:22
akgranerhehe - ok22:24
akgranerok done...publishing now - in what order are you publishing them now22:26
akgranermailing list, Fridge, Forums, other mailing lists?22:26
pleia2just a general comment - it's fine to run the publish-uwn.pl script a bunch of times with the fridge section commented out, but if the fridge part isn't commented out only run it once22:27
pleia2all the rest of the scripts just dump things in issues/228, but the fridge script actually logs into the fridge and creates a draft, if you run it a bunch of times it'll make a bunch of drafts, no good :)22:27
pleia2akgraner: we're following your old release format22:28
pleia2so yeah22:28
pleia2whatever order you always did :)22:28
akgranerok22:28
pleia2the only change is that we don't announce it in a bunch of channels anymore, just here22:28
akgranergot from here then lets see if I forget anything22:28
akgraner:-)22:28
pleia2yay, thanks!22:28
akgranerpleia2, yw22:28
