| maggotbrain | So I saw the request for assistance from bluesabre on the request for help with the "docs-refresh branch on the Xubuntu GitHub" | 03:11 |
|---|---|---|
| maggotbrain | Are there any clear instructions on getting those docs moved from the google drive location into the repos? | 03:12 |
| jphilipz | maggotbrain: are you familiar with the dockbook format? | 04:28 |
| maggotbrain | I;ve had to deal with it a few times. | 04:31 |
| maggotbrain | Do you have a process or is this involve a bunch on manual munging? | 04:41 |
| maggotbrain | Do you actually have a process in place to ingest these documents? Or, are what you _actually_ asking for is for someone to create an ingestion process for you? | 04:58 |
| jphilipz | maggotbrain: we have google docs, we want moved to dockbook. i presume it would need to be done manually. | 05:04 |
| maggotbrain | Again, are there any guidelines? How do you want them moved? What are the step that you expect to occur? | 05:06 |
| jphilipz | bluesabre: is the repo for the pushing of the dockbook work available and is it activate on transfix | 05:06 |
| jphilipz | maggotbrain: bluesabre is the best to ask, as i don't have a clue | 05:07 |
| maggotbrain | Someone downloads the google docs, runs some freakin' magic docbook commands and does what???.... | 05:08 |
| maggotbrain | I'm obviously a bit exasperated; but, if yoone is calling for volunteers and has no idea how to instruct a volunteer to approach the task there is a problem | 05:12 |
| maggotbrain | I would love to help but the scope is entirely unclear | 05:12 |
| maggotbrain | The request for volunteers is kinda exasperating, to be honest. | 05:31 |
| bluesabre | maggotbrain, unfortunately, it's a very manual process. Docbook is an XML format with strict validation. You can see where I moved one of the docs to docbook here: https://github.com/Xubuntu/xubuntu-docs/commit/b37e641b5ef4a3a4f196b086912e59b68be4aefe and where I fixed the validation and got the tests to pass here: https://github.com/Xubuntu/xubuntu-docs/commit/5a69bf24b8e8999aa10f932dd942d0f3e4d2bb55 | 10:44 |
| ubot3 | Commit b37e641 in Xubuntu/xubuntu-docs "Update what-is-xubuntu.xml" | 10:44 |
| ubot3 | Commit 5a69bf2 in Xubuntu/xubuntu-docs "Fix DTD validation" | 10:44 |
| bluesabre | The goal is to get these updated docs into that docs-refresh branch with passing validation: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10nsLPokttFjG9g4x4mLBYNkTyO0izy5H | 10:44 |
| bluesabre | Docbook is not an unknown format, so I know there are some folks in the community with the background to do this effectively, but they're seemingly missing | 10:45 |
| bluesabre | Part of the complication is that the new docs make use of various figures and images, which makes it even harder getting the strict validation to pass | 10:47 |
| bluesabre | I guess the easiest way forward would be to just dump the text and images in the most basic format into the branch and let others hack on fixing the formatting. | 10:53 |
| JackFrost | So when the topic of policykit agent came up, I looked a bit into things. I wonder if the mate tool might serve us better, since the one we use hasn't had a release since 2012... | 10:56 |
| bluesabre | Yeah, that seems reasonable to me. | 11:00 |
| JackFrost | There's of course https://sources.debian.org/src/mate-polkit/1.24.0-2/src/polkit-mate-authentication-agent-1.desktop.in.in/#L8 | 11:08 |
| bluesabre | If we want to go that route, a ping to Wimpress might get Xfce added to it :) | 11:29 |
| JackFrost | I guess I can replace my polkit agent and see how it works. | 11:32 |

| maggotbrain | bluesabre: thanks for details. I will take a look at your work and see if it is something that I can commit time to assisting with. Thanks! | 20:53 |
| kiwi_5 | hello | 23:49 |
| kiwi_5 | How can I help with the documentation? | 23:50 |
| JackFrost | It's pretty much taking it from some doc and converting it to docbook's XML right now. | 23:52 |
