dsmythiesshaunm_: Are you around?16:08
dsmythiesgodbyk: Are you around?16:45
dsmythiesgodbyk: Never mind, I swithed to e-mail. Still looking for shaunm_ though.19:09
shaunm_dsmythies: hey19:42
dsmythiesshaunm_: Agreed, the issue (bug report) I brought to your attention yesterday will be solved19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_: once the latest yelp stuff propagates down to Ubuntu.19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_:19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_: Would you consider to add a source file present check to the copy step? Example:19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_:19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_:         line_dest=`echo "$line_dest" | urldecode`19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_:        if [ "$line_src" != "$line_dest" ]; then19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_:            line_dir=`dirname "$line_dest"`19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_:            if test -e $line_src; then19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_:               mkdir_p "$line_dir"19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_:               cp "$line_src" "$line_dest"19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_:            fi19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_:        fi19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_:19:45
dsmythiesshaunm_: I realize there are both pros and cons with this one, but my thinking is that there19:46
dsmythiesshaunm_: needs to be some after html compile broken images check step anyhow, because,19:46
dsmythiesshaunm_: and as you pointed out yesterday, some file paths are ignored now anyway.19:46
dsmythiesshaunm_: For context, we get about 10 copy errors per language times over 60 languages during the full html build.19:51
dsmythiesshaunm_: Becuase there are very very few resgion specific screen shots.19:52
dsmythiesshaunm_: this real langauage specific errors tend to scroll off and not be noticed.19:53
dsmythiesshaunm_: thus real langauage specific errors tend to scroll off and not be noticed.19:53
dsmythiesshaunm_: U.S. english is O.K.19:55
shaunm_dsmythies: so silently ignoring media files that don't exist?19:55
dsmythiesshaumn_: Yes.19:56
shaunm_I'd be worried that other users would have legitimate issues of missing images that they wouldn't notice19:57
shaunm_though I should probably add a command to yelp-check to check that all media files exist19:57
* shaunm_ goes to add it to his TODO, finds it's already there19:58
dsmythiesshaumn_: lol19:58
shaunm_but maybe as an option19:58
shaunm_hmm19:59
dsmythiesshaumn_: an option would be great. Then one could run it both ways and have the best of both worlds.19:59
shaunm_why do you have files referenced that don't exist?19:59
shaunm_besides the absolute paths to icons in /usr/share19:59
dsmythiesshaunm_: Because if a region doesn't do region specific screen shots, then they will get the U.S. English one. wait a minute and I'll paste in an example here.20:00
dsmythiesshaumn_: wait another minute while I remove my yelp-build edit...20:01
shaunm_ah, of course20:02
shaunm_we do our html build differently in gnome. basically, we just make file copies before running yelp-build20:03
dsmythiesshaunm_: cp: cannot stat `/home/doug/docs-1404/ubuntu-docs/ubuntu-help/ast/figures/color-average.png': No such file or directory20:03
shaunm_that makes perfect sense20:03
dsmythiesshaunm_: maybe I should consider work flow change instead. The way we do it is extremely wastful of files.20:04
dsmythiesshaunm_: there are many many many identical files but with language specific extentions on the end.20:04
dsmythiesshaunm_: I better go off and think about this smoe more.20:07
godbykdsmythies: Can we add those yelp-check checks to the Makefile so they get executed and brought to our attention during the build and/or release process? Perhaps add them to the existing 'check' target?23:48
dsmythiesgodbyk: That is a good idea. I'll see, but not just now. These are all tangents. What I am really trying to do is identify and eliminate the two remaining html compile errors.23:52
dsmythiesgodbyk: The goal is to have people complaining that there is not feedback during compile, becuase nothing is printed. I.E. no errors.23:52
dsmythiesgodbyk: I hate errors spewing and spewing during compile. Why? Becuase then people become numb to them.23:54
dsmythiesgodbyk: And then real errors go un-noticed.23:57
dsmythiesgodbyk: I am trying to find the root cause of these: "Unmatched block element: section"23:59
