| chu | Hello, so which version of Ubuntu will include the (official) e17 release in it's repos? 13.10? | 02:17 |
|---|---|---|
| IdleOne | there should still be time to include it in 13.04 I would think | 02:19 |
| chu | Ahh, excellent. So does 12.10 have emacs 24 available in the repos? (If you don't mind looking :p) | 02:20 |
| IdleOne | !info emacs | 02:21 |
| ubot5 | emacs (source: emacs-defaults): GNU Emacs editor (metapackage). In component main, is optional. Version 45.0 (quantal), package size 1 kB, installed size 25 kB | 02:21 |
| chu | Version 45?! What does this even mean?! | 02:21 |
| IdleOne | means you are running debian with ancient packages? | 02:21 |
| chu | This is what I am using: GNU Emacs 24.2.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2012-10-14 on cw-bkp0, modified by Debian. | 02:22 |
| chu | Not default repo though. | 02:22 |
| chu | I'm sure if I bothered to run "apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" there may be a new version too - this is running emacs24 testing, but I know emacs24 was "officially" released a few months back. | 02:23 |
| IdleOne | I have no idea | 02:23 |
| DJones | guntbert: I'm here | 20:48 |
| guntbert | DJones: hi, I wanted to ascertain the impressio n that the team for the official documentation seems to mess around with the docs | 20:49 |
| guntbert | things get lost - are moved elswhere - are not updated - and bug reports are not answered - but that all is not appropriate for the supportt channel | 20:50 |
| DJones | There's been a few things I've been looking for that seem to have vanished or not been updated | 20:50 |
| DJones | If its of any use, I've just come across this http://www.ubuntu.com/download/help/install-desktop-latest | 20:52 |
| guntbert | now if you look at the "new" documentation : https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/ubuntu-help/index.html - does it look appealing? | 20:52 |
| guntbert | ah, your link was got me going on that trip in the first place - scroll down till you get to "more detailed instructions..." and click that link | 20:54 |
| DJones | I'm probably not a good person to ask that, I'm not great on what looks good & what doesn't.. | 20:55 |
| DJones | ..But I'd say yes it looks quite good | 20:55 |
| guntbert | DJones: I was not talking "design" but the possibility to find the info I want (mind you: installation is just an example right now) | 20:56 |
| DJones | Right, give me a sec | 20:56 |
| DJones | From my own point of view, its fairly simplified point & click options, I'd say aimed at new users rather than anybody who's been using Ubuntu for a few years | 21:00 |
| guntbert | what annoys me is that they seem to do it only halfway - there *exists* a page https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/installation-guide/index.html - but it contains mainly nonsense (there is no alternate CD any more for instance) | 21:04 |
| guntbert | see | 21:06 |
| guntbert | Bug #1090567 | 21:06 |
| ubot5 | bug 1090567 in installation-guide (Ubuntu) "https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/installation-guide/ needs editing" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1090567 | 21:06 |
| DJones | I wonder whether they're "pushed" to put details of new & improved features as a priority and tehy just copy over the previous releases templates from older pages | 21:41 |
