[03:11] So I saw the request for assistance from bluesabre on the request for help with the "docs-refresh branch on the Xubuntu GitHub" [03:12] Are there any clear instructions on getting those docs moved from the google drive location into the repos? [04:28] maggotbrain: are you familiar with the dockbook format? [04:31] I;ve had to deal with it a few times. [04:41] Do you have a process or is this involve a bunch on manual munging? [04:58] 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? [05:04] maggotbrain: we have google docs, we want moved to dockbook. i presume it would need to be done manually. [05:06] Again, are there any guidelines? How do you want them moved? What are the step that you expect to occur? [05:06] bluesabre: is the repo for the pushing of the dockbook work available and is it activate on transfix [05:07] maggotbrain: bluesabre is the best to ask, as i don't have a clue [05:08] Someone downloads the google docs, runs some freakin' magic docbook commands and does what???.... [05:12] 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] I would love to help but the scope is entirely unclear [05:31] The request for volunteers is kinda exasperating, to be honest. [10:44] 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] Commit b37e641 in Xubuntu/xubuntu-docs "Update what-is-xubuntu.xml" [10:44] Commit 5a69bf2 in Xubuntu/xubuntu-docs "Fix DTD validation" [10:44] The goal is to get these updated docs into that docs-refresh branch with passing validation: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10nsLPokttFjG9g4x4mLBYNkTyO0izy5H [10:45] 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 [10:47] 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 [10:53] 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. [10:56] 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... [11:00] Yeah, that seems reasonable to me. [11:08] 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 [11:29] If we want to go that route, a ping to Wimpress might get Xfce added to it :) [11:32] I guess I can replace my polkit agent and see how it works. [19:44] -SwissBot:#xubuntu-devel- ::xfce4-announce:: ANNOUNCE: xfce4-cpufreq-plugin 1.2.5 released @ http://xfce.10915.n7.nabble.com/ANNOUNCE-xfce4-cpufreq-plugin-1-2-5-released-tp59899.html (by Jan Ziak) [20:53] 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! [23:49] hello [23:50] How can I help with the documentation? [23:52] It's pretty much taking it from some doc and converting it to docbook's XML right now.
