| quaid | I want to discuss it with you and stickster in a few, let me get some coffee and oatmeal started :D | <a href="#t17:55:05" class="time">17:55</a> |
|---|---|---|
| jmbuser | Greetings and Salutations | <a href="#t17:55:13" class="time">17:55</a> |
| jmbuser | FOSDEM crowd there? | <a href="#t17:55:35" class="time">17:55</a> |
| couf | jmbuser: sure | <a href="#t17:55:42" class="time">17:55</a> |
| jmbuser | couf: hi | <a href="#t17:55:54" class="time">17:55</a> |
| jmbuser | glezos_fosdem: hi | <a href="#t17:56:13" class="time">17:56</a> |
| couf | ow right I should send a mail aswell | <a href="#t17:57:06" class="time">17:57</a> |
| stickster | quaid: Well, for someone who goes to bed about 2am, you do pretty well IMHO | <a href="#t17:57:28" class="time">17:57</a> |
| couf | heh lol | <a href="#t18:00:42" class="time">18:00</a> |
| couf | okay folks, talk's over, we're getting ready here | <a href="#t18:01:15" class="time">18:01</a> |
| glezos_fosdem | quaid, sure. what's on your mind about PDF? | <a href="#t18:02:55" class="time">18:02</a> |
| couf | ping all | <a href="#t18:05:27" class="time">18:05</a> |
| jmbuser | couf: pong | <a href="#t18:05:39" class="time">18:05</a> |
| couf | we're ready here | <a href="#t18:05:42" class="time">18:05</a> |
| glezos_fosdem | stickster, any pointers on where to start with couf for the DUG to docbook process? | <a href="#t18:08:15" class="time">18:08</a> |
| stickster | glezos_fosdem: You'll want to work on a per-chapter/page basis | <a href="#t18:08:35" class="time">18:08</a> |
| glezos_fosdem | ok | <a href="#t18:08:46" class="time">18:08</a> |
| *glezos_fosdem is now known as glezos | <a href="#t18:08:47" class="time">18:08</a> | |
| glezos | ok | <a href="#t18:08:57" class="time">18:08</a> |
| glezos | stickster, so we just export from the page? | <a href="#t18:10:51" class="time">18:10</a> |
| glezos | \ | <a href="#t18:10:53" class="time">18:10</a> |
| stickster | I just added a directory structure in CVS for them -- desktop-user-guide/FC-6/en_US/ is where you can put the XML files | <a href="#t18:11:13" class="time">18:11</a> |
| stickster | Yes, you can just export from the page. Be aware that they won't come out perfectly, but we can fix that XML stuff after it's in CVS | <a href="#t18:11:27" class="time">18:11</a> |
| stickster | For each page, name it something that makes sense, like the "chapter" title. Don't use "dug-" or anything at the beginning, it's unnecessary. For example, you could call one chapter "multimedia.xml" | <a href="#t18:11:58" class="time">18:11</a> |
| stickster | Set your CVSROOT appropriately as detailed in our CVS guidance, and then you can "cvs co desktop-user-guide" | <a href="#t18:12:44" class="time">18:12</a> |
| stickster | It'll just be some empty directories for now | <a href="#t18:12:53" class="time">18:12</a> |
| couf | right | <a href="#t18:12:58" class="time">18:12</a> |
| couf | so right now we're just exporting to docbook and naming the files | <a href="#t18:14:10" class="time">18:14</a> |
| stickster | Yup | <a href="#t18:14:16" class="time">18:14</a> |
| couf | do we need to export the toc aswell? | <a href="#t18:14:21" class="time">18:14</a> |
| stickster | couf: No, that part will be taken care of in rendering the DocBook to HTML or other formats | <a href="#t18:14:36" class="time">18:14</a> |
| stickster | Just export each of the chapter pages individually | <a href="#t18:14:48" class="time">18:14</a> |
| glezos | stickster, any automatic way to do that? | <a href="#t18:15:27" class="time">18:15</a> |
| couf | okay | <a href="#t18:15:31" class="time">18:15</a> |
| stickster | i.e. Introduction, Login, tour... | <a href="#t18:15:31" class="time">18:15</a> |
| glezos | BTW, I tried finding a guy from the KDE Docs team here to ask him about the PDF creation, but with no luck, | <a href="#t18:16:18" class="time">18:16</a> |
| glezos | stickster, which Makefile should we use as a base? | <a href="#t18:16:47" class="time">18:16</a> |
| stickster | glezos: You could adapt the beatconvert script in the release-notes module, but it would take some (admittedly light) Python wrangling | <a href="#t18:16:49" class="time">18:16</a> |
| glezos | stickster, maybe we should move that script to docs-common? | <a href="#t18:17:08" class="time">18:17</a> |
| stickster | glezos: You can use the one in documentation-guide | <a href="#t18:17:36" class="time">18:17</a> |
| stickster | glezos: Not yet. It's tightly tailored to the relnotes. | <a href="#t18:17:45" class="time">18:17</a> |
| glezos | ok | <a href="#t18:17:59" class="time">18:17</a> |
| stickster | one thing at a time :-) | <a href="#t18:18:03" class="time">18:18</a> |
| glezos | yup | <a href="#t18:18:06" class="time">18:18</a> |
| glezos | just asking | <a href="#t18:18:10" class="time">18:18</a> |
| stickster | Eventually I can see it being useful -- but eventually I could also see it being obsolete if ReST works better for our Drafts | <a href="#t18:18:34" class="time">18:18</a> |
| *quaid continues the PDF intervweaving while he checks out the new module | <a href="#t18:18:39" class="time">18:18</a> | |
| stickster | glezos: Oh, wait... You know, that script is actually even *less* useful than I was thinking | <a href="#t18:19:04" class="time">18:19</a> |
| stickster | It really was to work *around* the problem of not having docbook conversion on our "real" wiki! | <a href="#t18:19:17" class="time">18:19</a> |
| stickster | So it's actually quite obsolete right now :-D | <a href="#t18:19:27" class="time">18:19</a> |
| quaid | yeah, time to automate would be longer than by hand, with the current state of Wiki -> XML | <a href="#t18:19:33" class="time">18:19</a> |
| stickster | yup | <a href="#t18:19:36" class="time">18:19</a> |
| glezos | stickster, ReST? whats up with that? | <a href="#t18:20:26" class="time">18:20</a> |
| quaid | stickster: side note on that, are you thinking we should convert Docs/Beats/ to use ReST? and if so, are we going to make it harder to edit? | <a href="#t18:21:10" class="time">18:21</a> |
| quaid | glezos: so, there are two parts to PDF production for us -- is it in our toolchain (can you do make pdf), and does it work (is the output nice, does it throw errors for now reason) | <a href="#t18:22:34" class="time">18:22</a> |
| quaid | the answer to that is, yes, we can do it with our tools, and, yes, it is often broken | <a href="#t18:22:55" class="time">18:22</a> |
| glezos | quaid, lets concentrate on the second | <a href="#t18:23:09" class="time">18:23</a> |
| stickster | quaid: I don't think it will be much harder to edit. There's a few more markup possibilities, but it's a *lot* more human-readable than XML | <a href="#t18:23:56" class="time">18:23</a> |
| couf | okay I've got all the XML's | <a href="#t18:24:01" class="time">18:24</a> |
| stickster | couf: OK, you have them all in d-u-g/FC-6/en_US right? | <a href="#t18:24:18" class="time">18:24</a> |
| couf | stickster: yep | <a href="#t18:24:28" class="time">18:24</a> |
| glezos | I'm adding the Makefile | <a href="#t18:24:52" class="time">18:24</a> |
| stickster | Then you can do "cvs add *.xml" and then "cvs ci -m 'Initial commit from wiki' *.xml" | <a href="#t18:24:54" class="time">18:24</a> |
| stickster | (inside that dir of course) | <a href="#t18:25:03" class="time">18:25</a> |
| *stickster is going to need to run in a minute or two, for a little wihle | <a href="#t18:25:23" class="time">18:25</a> | |
| quaid | glezos: ok, so the standard passivetex in Fedora is problematic; it has always had problems, as soon as one is fixed, another arises; Veillard says we should be able to file bugs and etc, but ... it's going to take some folks some concentrated effort to figure out if the passivetex could work for anything. | <a href="#t18:25:25" class="time">18:25</a> |
| couf | btw, ugly xml layout | <a href="#t18:25:55" class="time">18:25</a> |
| glezos | ok lets forget about that then for now | <a href="#t18:25:57" class="time">18:25</a> |
| quaid | glezos: the guy who does the RHEL docs toolchain tried to get passivetex to work for him for ... six months? and they kept running into the "ugly table output" and a few other things we've all seen. | <a href="#t18:26:01" class="time">18:26</a> |
| *couf has comitted | <a href="#t18:26:05" class="time">18:26</a> | |
| stickster | Yeah, it was pretty horrific | <a href="#t18:26:14" class="time">18:26</a> |
| quaid | glezos: so, for FOP we're waiting on the Java team; we can't make anything without them. | <a href="#t18:26:24" class="time">18:26</a> |
| quaid | so that leaves us with hacking in additional pathways into our Makefile | <a href="#t18:26:36" class="time">18:26</a> |
| glezos | quaid, dblatex? | <a href="#t18:26:55" class="time">18:26</a> |
| quaid | glezos: I haven't looked, is it packaged for Fedora? | <a href="#t18:27:10" class="time">18:27</a> |
| jmbuser | glezos: the KDE way | <a href="#t18:27:12" class="time">18:27</a> |
| couf | quaid: nope | <a href="#t18:27:24" class="time">18:27</a> |
| quaid | I think it would be great to add other methods, but I'm concerned about us chasing something that doesn't work; do the KDE folks report any problems with the usage? | <a href="#t18:27:45" class="time">18:27</a> |
| stickster | glezos: I thought there was a translation problem with the KDE way of doing things | <a href="#t18:27:55" class="time">18:27</a> |
| stickster | Am I remembering wrong? | <a href="#t18:28:00" class="time">18:28</a> |
| jmbuser | quaid: there's a modified dblatex in tar.gz package | <a href="#t18:28:09" class="time">18:28</a> |
| *stickster thinks back to that URL he threw ino #f-docs like a grenade the other day | <a href="#t18:28:17" class="time">18:28</a> | |
| quaid | also to note, the FOP way is aligned with the upstream DocBook people; Java is what they use for this; so we hoped to catch the "wind fills all sails" method | <a href="#t18:28:25" class="time">18:28</a> |
| quaid | stickster: yeah, jmbuser captured it into his pages | <a href="#t18:28:34" class="time">18:28</a> |
| stickster | glezos: That Makefile can go into d-u-g/FC-6/ by the way | <a href="#t18:29:28" class="time">18:29</a> |
| stickster | Oops, HunkyCaps alert | <a href="#t18:30:01" class="time">18:30</a> |
| stickster | Oh well, no biggie | <a href="#t18:30:03" class="time">18:30</a> |
| stickster | could actually work to advantage with some automated tools | <a href="#t18:30:21" class="time">18:30</a> |
| couf | stickster: what's next? | <a href="#t18:30:26" class="time">18:30</a> |
| quaid | xmlformat is next | <a href="#t18:31:09" class="time">18:31</a> |
| stickster | heh | <a href="#t18:31:18" class="time">18:31</a> |
| quaid | shall I? | <a href="#t18:31:21" class="time">18:31</a> |
| stickster | please do, sir | <a href="#t18:31:25" class="time">18:31</a> |
| quaid | or shall i teach how? :) | <a href="#t18:31:27" class="time">18:31</a> |
| stickster | both | <a href="#t18:31:28" class="time">18:31</a> |
| couf | yeah both ;-) | <a href="#t18:31:34" class="time">18:31</a> |
| quaid | ok, so the XML needs to get some indenting | <a href="#t18:31:38" class="time">18:31</a> |
| quaid | the best way is with xmlformat, which is in docs-common | <a href="#t18:31:47" class="time">18:31</a> |
| couf | heh, figured that | <a href="#t18:31:50" class="time">18:31</a> |
| quaid | so I'm going to do a quick loop and commit back, one second and I'll show you how | <a href="#t18:31:57" class="time">18:31</a> |
| glezos | ok, added a first Makefile and rpm-info.xml | <a href="#t18:32:04" class="time">18:32</a> |
| glezos | fixing the errors now | <a href="#t18:32:08" class="time">18:32</a> |
| stickster | glezos: Cool | <a href="#t18:32:11" class="time">18:32</a> |
| stickster | quaid: I'll probably throw my usual Emacs local-variables in the bottom at some point, too | <a href="#t18:33:36" class="time">18:33</a> |
| *quaid still tweaking, one minute more | <a href="#t18:33:38" class="time">18:33</a> | |
| stickster | np | <a href="#t18:33:40" class="time">18:33</a> |
| couf | :) | <a href="#t18:33:45" class="time">18:33</a> |
| quaid | for i in ls *xml; do xmlformat -f ../../../docs-common/bin/xmlformat-fdp.conf $i > tmpfile; mv tmpfile $i; done | <a href="#t18:35:37" class="time">18:35</a> |
| quaid | so I did that | <a href="#t18:35:40" class="time">18:35</a> |
| stickster | The xmlformat thing quaid is doing is basically just "prettying up" the text with good indentation, etc. so it's easier to read | <a href="#t18:35:43" class="time">18:35</a> |
| quaid | now when you cvs up -d, you'll get lots of pretty XML | <a href="#t18:35:52" class="time">18:35</a> |
| quaid | the -f docs-common/bin/xmlformat-fdp.conf is the customized configuration file we have done for FDP | <a href="#t18:36:33" class="time">18:36</a> |
| quaid | it tells the formatter to e.g. ignore <screen> blocks, which are blocks of code you don't want to have the whitespacing formatted out | <a href="#t18:37:00" class="time">18:37</a> |
| stickster | OK, added the local variables at end too | <a href="#t18:37:02" class="time">18:37</a> |
| stickster | so now you can "cvs up" again | <a href="#t18:37:05" class="time">18:37</a> |
| glezos | thanks guyws | <a href="#t18:37:11" class="time">18:37</a> |
| quaid | those are usefule for Emacs users | <a href="#t18:37:14" class="time">18:37</a> |
| quaid | and keeping things consistent | <a href="#t18:37:28" class="time">18:37</a> |
| quaid | now you guys can safely open Emacs and start hacking on the XML without it being crazy | <a href="#t18:37:51" class="time">18:37</a> |
| stickster | Because as everyone knows, Emacs is the best way to do all this ;-) *snicker | <a href="#t18:38:04" class="time">18:38</a> |
| quaid | heh | <a href="#t18:38:31" class="time">18:38</a> |
| glezos | :) | <a href="#t18:38:33" class="time">18:38</a> |
| quaid | is anyone working on the parent XML file? e.g. en_US/deskto-user-guide.xml? | <a href="#t18:38:47" class="time">18:38</a> |
| stickster | Ooo, there you go | <a href="#t18:38:54" class="time">18:38</a> |
| quaid | if not, I can hack one together quickly | <a href="#t18:38:56" class="time">18:38</a> |
| stickster | Nah, let the newbies do it | <a href="#t18:39:01" class="time">18:39</a> |
| quaid | use the release-notes/devel/en_US/release-notes.xml as a starting place | <a href="#t18:39:19" class="time">18:39</a> |
| couf | right | <a href="#t18:39:23" class="time">18:39</a> |
| quaid | sorry, s/release-notes/RELEASE-NOTES/ | <a href="#t18:39:52" class="time">18:39</a> |
| quaid | in that file, I recommend chopping out or just ignoring the <!ENTITY BUG-URL and TINY-BUG-URL for now | <a href="#t18:40:43" class="time">18:40</a> |
| stickster | yup | <a href="#t18:40:53" class="time">18:40</a> |
| quaid | yeah, you are right, this is a relatively easy file to modify, and it is good stuff to look at | <a href="#t18:41:57" class="time">18:41</a> |
| glezos | the list of XML files are duplicated in the Makefile and the desktop-user-guide.xml, right? | <a href="#t18:42:49" class="time">18:42</a> |
| quaid | right | <a href="#t18:44:27" class="time">18:44</a> |
| couf | so the different xml-files should get a heading right? | <a href="#t18:44:51" class="time">18:44</a> |
| quaid | the d-u-g.xml is actually pulling the files in with XIncludes, where the Makefile needs the list of files ... well, I forget why the makefile needs the list :) | <a href="#t18:44:58" class="time">18:44</a> |
| glezos | and since r.h.c is down, which package provides xmlto? | <a href="#t18:45:04" class="time">18:45</a> |
| quaid | couf: yes, each file is a full xml file, with a header that says e.g.'chapter' instead of ;book' | <a href="#t18:45:33" class="time">18:45</a> |
| quaid | rpm -q --whatprovides which xmlto | <a href="#t18:46:16" class="time">18:46</a> |
| quaid | xmlto-0.0.18-13.1 | <a href="#t18:46:18" class="time">18:46</a> |
| glezos | thanks | <a href="#t18:47:30" class="time">18:47</a> |
| quaid | couf: you can look at the files in release-notes/devel/en_US/ to see how each XML should be prepared. | <a href="#t18:48:02" class="time">18:48</a> |
| couf | quaid: yeah | <a href="#t18:51:21" class="time">18:51</a> |
| couf | quaid: getting error with tables-stuff, should this be changed in xml? | <a href="#t18:52:23" class="time">18:52</a> |
| couf | we're working on Communications.xml to know how everything works | <a href="#t18:52:44" class="time">18:52</a> |
| couf | exact error is: | <a href="#t18:53:27" class="time">18:53</a> |
| couf | ./Communications.xml:404: element table: validity error : Element table content does not follow the DTD, expecting ((blockinfo? , (title , titleabbrev?) , indexterm* , textobject* , (graphic+ | mediaobject+ | tgroup+)) | (caption , (col* | colgroup*) , thead? , tfoot? , (tbody+ | tr+))), got (caption tgroup para para ) | <a href="#t18:53:33" class="time">18:53</a> |
| *quaid looks | <a href="#t18:55:13" class="time">18:55</a> | |
| quaid | ok, 404 should be the line number | <a href="#t18:56:28" class="time">18:56</a> |
| couf | yeah, we're getting some of those error's | <a href="#t18:57:31" class="time">18:57</a> |
| quaid | can you check in this version of Communications.xml so I can see it? | <a href="#t18:57:31" class="time">18:57</a> |
| glezos | quaid, its checked in | <a href="#t18:57:43" class="time">18:57</a> |
| quaid | with the DOCTYPE header included? | <a href="#t18:59:01" class="time">18:59</a> |
| couf | quaid: not yet, hang on | <a href="#t18:59:53" class="time">18:59</a> |
| couf | different version | <a href="#t18:59:56" class="time">18:59</a> |
| quaid | k | <a href="#t19:00:01" class="time">19:00</a> |
| couf | now it should be | <a href="#t19:01:16" class="time">19:01</a> |
| quaid | ok, good, now I'm looking at the same line numbering | <a href="#t19:02:56" class="time">19:02</a> |
| glezos | quaid, this cool guy sitting next to me hacking on the DUG is *also* documenting each step for future reference.. how cool is that. | <a href="#t19:03:02" class="time">19:03</a> |
| jmbuser | thanks, cool guy! | <a href="#t19:03:32" class="time">19:03</a> |
| quaid | <a href="http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/table.html">http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/table.html</a> is where I'm looking | <a href="#t19:03:33" class="time">19:03</a> |
| quaid | glezos: :D | <a href="#t19:03:41" class="time">19:03</a> |
| quaid | ah, the admonition problem! | <a href="#t19:04:25" class="time">19:04</a> |
| quaid | ok, so here's one of the problems we currently have with wiki => XML | <a href="#t19:04:38" class="time">19:04</a> |
| *stickster gets back from furniture moving | <a href="#t19:04:45" class="time">19:04</a> | |
| quaid | there is no sense of an admonition in the Wiki | <a href="#t19:04:58" class="time">19:04</a> |
| quaid | we use a e.g. .png){kind=small} in a table, but that is a visual formatting | <a href="#t19:05:08" class="time">19:05</a> |
| quaid | so, the table that is erroring here needs to be replaced with a proper admonition | <a href="#t19:05:23" class="time">19:05</a> |
| quaid | in fact, you'll probably find that _all_ tables in the XML are in fact admonitions | <a href="#t19:05:34" class="time">19:05</a> |
| *stickster hacks a couple things in d-u-g.xml | <a href="#t19:05:36" class="time">19:05</a> | |
| quaid | does that make sense or should I update this XML to how what I mean? | <a href="#t19:05:59" class="time">19:05</a> |
| couf | quaid: it makes some sense, but do show us | <a href="#t19:07:06" class="time">19:07</a> |
| quaid | ok, fix checked in | <a href="#t19:08:23" class="time">19:08</a> |
| *glezos feels that these non-automatic procedures take the Handbook off the table completely... :( | <a href="#t19:08:27" class="time">19:08</a> | |
| quaid | that is, not sure it will make the doc build stop breaking, but it should help :) | <a href="#t19:08:35" class="time">19:08</a> |
| quaid | glezos: this is the broken part that we had all the GSoC coding done for ... which we are still not using | <a href="#t19:08:57" class="time">19:08</a> |
| *jmbuser makes note to self to do DocBook admonitions in comments to speed things up in the future | <a href="#t19:09:17" class="time">19:09</a> | |
| *stickster fixes prolog in d-u-g.xml | <a href="#t19:09:18" class="time">19:09</a> | |
| quaid | the "new" path is much better, for example, that's why we use the funky admonition style in the Docs/Beats/ | <a href="#t19:09:19" class="time">19:09</a> |
| *stickster notes that ReST has ability to do "real" admonitions | <a href="#t19:09:39" class="time">19:09</a> | |
| stickster | Including all five of our types for DocBook, meaning they should come out correctly both visually and XMLish | <a href="#t19:09:58" class="time">19:09</a> |
| jmbuser | stickster: another time you'll have to explain ReST - it kinda came out of nowhere for me | <a href="#t19:10:33" class="time">19:10</a> |
| stickster | jmbuser: <a href="http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html">http://docutils.sourceforge.net/rst.html</a> | <a href="#t19:10:59" class="time">19:10</a> |
| jmbuser | stickster: thanks | <a href="#t19:11:17" class="time">19:11</a> |
| couf | quaid: right got that, what are the possible admonittions? | <a href="#t19:12:07" class="time">19:12</a> |
| quaid | ok | <a href="#t19:12:35" class="time">19:12</a> |
| *couf notes: one file to help out, the rest will be doable, I hope | <a href="#t19:12:44" class="time">19:12</a> | |
| *stickster adds doc-entities.xml file too | <a href="#t19:13:03" class="time">19:13</a> | |
| stickster | couf: note, tip, important, caution, warning | <a href="#t19:13:19" class="time">19:13</a> |
| couf | stickster: thanks | <a href="#t19:13:33" class="time">19:13</a> |
| stickster | see also the Documentation Guide for how to use each one | <a href="#t19:13:37" class="time">19:13</a> |
| quaid | <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WikiEditing#Admonitions">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WikiEditing#Admonitions</a> | <a href="#t19:13:38" class="time">19:13</a> |
| *quaid saves that | <a href="#t19:13:47" class="time">19:13</a> | |
| quaid | that helps, because the wiki only shows you which  was used | <a href="#t19:14:31" class="time">19:14</a> |
| *stickster corrects relative path in doc-entities.xml | <a href="#t19:16:36" class="time">19:16</a> | |
| stickster | Everybody make sure you cvs-up | <a href="#t19:16:41" class="time">19:16</a> |
| couf | stickster: hmm getting errors now | <a href="#t19:17:51" class="time">19:17</a> |
| stickster | couf: To be expected. | <a href="#t19:17:58" class="time">19:17</a> |
| couf | stickster: aah okay | <a href="#t19:18:11" class="time">19:18</a> |
| stickster | couf: You mean 'C'onflicts in CVS? | <a href="#t19:18:12" class="time">19:18</a> |
| stickster | Or when you do a "make validate-xml"? | <a href="#t19:18:21" class="time">19:18</a> |
| couf | stickster: no, in the make | <a href="#t19:18:22" class="time">19:18</a> |
| stickster | OK, yes, perfectly expected at this point. | <a href="#t19:18:27" class="time">19:18</a> |
| quaid | right | <a href="#t19:18:34" class="time">19:18</a> |
| stickster | There's a lot of XML still to be fixed. | <a href="#t19:18:39" class="time">19:18</a> |
| couf | right | <a href="#t19:18:41" class="time">19:18</a> |
| stickster | couf: Believe it or not, those error message *will* tell you exactly where the problem is. | <a href="#t19:18:52" class="time">19:18</a> |
| quaid | the technique is, you go through and fix all you know (such as table => admonition) | <a href="#t19:18:54" class="time">19:18</a> |
| quaid | then you build, it breaks, and you fix that | <a href="#t19:18:59" class="time">19:18</a> |
| quaid | repeat until it stops breaking | <a href="#t19:19:08" class="time">19:19</a> |
| stickster | You just need to take your time and read the error messages... believe me, it takes a *lot* of patience sometimes!!! | <a href="#t19:19:16" class="time">19:19</a> |
| quaid | one clue is ... | <a href="#t19:19:25" class="time">19:19</a> |
| quaid | it dumps all the output for you, so the error is often buried somewhere | <a href="#t19:19:39" class="time">19:19</a> |
| quaid | if you start at the bottom of the error content and work backward, you can find the spot where "warning" becomes "error" | <a href="#t19:20:05" class="time">19:20</a> |
| stickster | Ah, I also needed to commit the new Makefile stuff, sorrry | <a href="#t19:20:15" class="time">19:20</a> |
| stickster | cvs up again | <a href="#t19:20:18" class="time">19:20</a> |
| couf | aah | <a href="#t19:20:18" class="time">19:20</a> |
| stickster | Now you'll get different and all-new errors! | <a href="#t19:20:27" class="time">19:20</a> |
| couf | stickster: that's better :) | <a href="#t19:20:34" class="time">19:20</a> |
| couf | it was an error on your doc-entities, that's way I mentioned it | <a href="#t19:20:45" class="time">19:20</a> |
| couf | now gone | <a href="#t19:20:53" class="time">19:20</a> |
| stickster | Yup, my fault entirely, forgot to tell the Makefile they were there so it could build the .ent from the .xml | <a href="#t19:21:12" class="time">19:21</a> |
| couf | heh, no problem | <a href="#t19:21:55" class="time">19:21</a> |
| stickster | quaid: Are we doing this as <article> with <section>s or <book> with <chapter>s (like other guides)? | <a href="#t19:22:24" class="time">19:22</a> |
| *stickster asks before we start putting prologs in all the files | <a href="#t19:23:02" class="time">19:23</a> | |
| quaid | book and chapter, i thought | <a href="#t19:23:14" class="time">19:23</a> |
| stickster | cool | <a href="#t19:23:22" class="time">19:23</a> |
| *stickster makes change in Communications, should be easily mergeable | <a href="#t19:24:10" class="time">19:24</a> | |
| stickster | OK, committed | <a href="#t19:24:39" class="time">19:24</a> |
| couf | so I just committed the new Communications with all admonitions | <a href="#t19:27:38" class="time">19:27</a> |
| couf | stickster, quaid: could anyone just check it? | <a href="#t19:27:50" class="time">19:27</a> |
| *stickster needs to correct XPointer real quick | <a href="#t19:28:20" class="time">19:28</a> | |
| *stickster is fixing some rpm-info problems, hang on | <a href="#t19:31:40" class="time">19:31</a> | |
| stickster | rpm-info must be valid for anything else to work properly :-) | <a href="#t19:31:55" class="time">19:31</a> |
| jmbuser | (makes small talk) how did the talks go? | <a href="#t19:32:39" class="time">19:32</a> |
| stickster | OK, couf, good work, that file is valid | <a href="#t19:33:37" class="time">19:33</a> |
| stickster | cvs up to get my changes | <a href="#t19:33:44" class="time">19:33</a> |
| stickster | couf: Well, it still needs to get all the attachments added in the XML now | <a href="#t19:34:18" class="time">19:34</a> |
| glezos | stickster, you do all each time you produce the doc from the Beats? | <a href="#t19:34:51" class="time">19:34</a> |
| couf | stickster: so how do you do that | <a href="#t19:35:03" class="time">19:35</a> |
| couf | ? | <a href="#t19:35:03" class="time">19:35</a> |
| stickster | couf: Just download the attachments and "cvs add" and "cvs commit" them in en_US/figs/ | <a href="#t19:35:20" class="time">19:35</a> |
| stickster | glezos: Well, it's much easier when the docs are written to specific XML porting standards... :-) | <a href="#t19:35:40" class="time">19:35</a> |
| stickster | And hopefully if we use ReST that will be even easier | <a href="#t19:35:48" class="time">19:35</a> |
| stickster | And the rpm-info and Makefile stuff gets out of the way only once per doc | <a href="#t19:36:10" class="time">19:36</a> |
| stickster | But yes, we have to do a little XML hand-cobbling anytime we do a mass import | <a href="#t19:36:18" class="time">19:36</a> |
| couf | stickster: should I keep the names? | <a href="#t19:37:04" class="time">19:37</a> |
| stickster | couf: Sure, I don't think that's a problem. | <a href="#t19:37:45" class="time">19:37</a> |
| stickster | Bits are cheap if we end up needing to change them. | <a href="#t19:37:52" class="time">19:37</a> |
| stickster | Some things that are going to need fixing throughout: | <a href="#t19:38:09" class="time">19:38</a> |
| stickster | Turn all the menu selections into <menuchoice> elements | <a href="#t19:38:18" class="time">19:38</a> |
| stickster | Make sure <ulink> elements are concise | <a href="#t19:38:33" class="time">19:38</a> |
| stickster | couf: By the way, you should make sure all the attachments are no bigger than 500px wide | <a href="#t19:38:49" class="time">19:38</a> |
| stickster | You can use ImageMagick's "mogrify" command for this | <a href="#t19:39:04" class="time">19:39</a> |
| couf | stickster: wide and/or high? | <a href="#t19:40:19" class="time">19:40</a> |
| stickster | wide | <a href="#t19:40:40" class="time">19:40</a> |
| quaid | it would be cool if it had a 'valmorify' command | <a href="#t19:40:50" class="time">19:40</a> |
| stickster | ? | <a href="#t19:40:55" class="time">19:40</a> |
| quaid | sorry, Team America reference | <a href="#t19:41:13" class="time">19:41</a> |
| stickster | heh | <a href="#t19:41:21" class="time">19:41</a> |
| quaid | they use 'valmorification' the way Calvin and Hobbes use 'transmogrify' | <a href="#t19:41:44" class="time">19:41</a> |
| *stickster needs to read writers list more carefully | <a href="#t19:42:11" class="time">19:42</a> | |
| couf | stickster: educate me | <a href="#t19:42:43" class="time">19:42</a> |
| couf | stickster: mogrify -geometry 500 file.png? | <a href="#t19:46:53" class="time">19:46</a> |
| stickster | couf: Yes, I believe that's right | <a href="#t19:47:04" class="time">19:47</a> |
| stickster | Or it might be 'mogrify -scale 500 file.png' | <a href="#t19:47:39" class="time">19:47</a> |
| couf | it seems to work | <a href="#t19:48:12" class="time">19:48</a> |
| stickster | OK | <a href="#t19:48:30" class="time">19:48</a> |
| *stickster updates colophon in rpm-info, time to cvs up again :-) | <a href="#t19:48:43" class="time">19:48</a> | |
| stickster | whoops, one more change needed there | <a href="#t19:50:37" class="time">19:50</a> |
| stickster | One more cvs up :-) | <a href="#t19:51:59" class="time">19:51</a> |
| stickster | couf: OK, now for each of those locations in the document, you'll need to have an appropriate XML element. You can find examples all over, like the Installation Guide for instance | <a href="#t19:53:46" class="time">19:53</a> |
| *stickster wonders how ReST parsers might deal with this -- probably better. | <a href="#t19:54:17" class="time">19:54</a> | |
| couf | stickster: I see .eps files everywhere, do these need to be created aswell? | <a href="#t19:54:55" class="time">19:54</a> |
| stickster | Those are for the print version in PDFs; you probably don't need to do anything with those for now. | <a href="#t19:55:17" class="time">19:55</a> |
| stickster | My personal opinion is anything like that should be built from the source PNGs at render time anyway. | <a href="#t19:56:04" class="time">19:56</a> |
| couf | right | <a href="#t19:56:20" class="time">19:56</a> |
| stickster | Minimize what we have to store in the SCM, in other words | <a href="#t19:56:21" class="time">19:56</a> |
| quaid | +1 | <a href="#t19:57:55" class="time">19:57</a> |
| couf | stickster: I think somethings wrong with the placement of the figs | <a href="#t20:00:59" class="time">20:00</a> |
| couf | shouldn't it be FC-6/figs | <a href="#t20:01:12" class="time">20:01</a> |
| couf | in stead of FC-6/en_US/figs? | <a href="#t20:01:22" class="time">20:01</a> |
| quaid | hmm, they can be translated, right? | <a href="#t20:01:39" class="time">20:01</a> |
| quaid | theoretically, that is | <a href="#t20:01:44" class="time">20:01</a> |
| quaid | so each $LANG needs its own set? or ...? | <a href="#t20:01:53" class="time">20:01</a> |
| stickster | quaid: I believe the build tools take care of this. If they're translatable (i.e. screenshots) they should be in the $LANG directory. If no others are found, the $PRI_LANG ones get used in any $LANG in $OTHERS | <a href="#t20:02:26" class="time">20:02</a> |
| couf | in install guide it's just beneath the devel or fc-x version | <a href="#t20:02:31" class="time">20:02</a> |
| stickster | Yeah, the build tools will search in several places for these. | <a href="#t20:02:41" class="time">20:02</a> |
| stickster | The situation in the Installation Guide is simply because no one ever provides translated screen shots, and I was too lazy to move them for now. | <a href="#t20:03:01" class="time">20:03</a> |
| stickster | :-D | <a href="#t20:03:04" class="time">20:03</a> |
| couf | the makefile seems to be missing the right directory | <a href="#t20:03:36" class="time">20:03</a> |
| stickster | rrr? | <a href="#t20:03:41" class="time">20:03</a> |
| couf | it's doing: [ ! -d figs ] || copy-figs -v -f '*.png' -l en_US figs desktop-user-guide-en_US | <a href="#t20:04:11" class="time">20:04</a> |
| couf | and it isn't copying anything | <a href="#t20:04:18" class="time">20:04</a> |
| stickster | Arrrgh | <a href="#t20:04:38" class="time">20:04</a> |
| *stickster fixes prologs in all XML fiels | <a href="#t20:05:14" class="time">20:05</a> | |
| stickster | *files | <a href="#t20:05:14" class="time">20:05</a> |
| couf | heh | <a href="#t20:05:26" class="time">20:05</a> |
| stickster | couf: Please commit your changes to the XML file so I can test here | <a href="#t20:05:54" class="time">20:05</a> |
| couf | stickster: done | <a href="#t20:07:07" class="time">20:07</a> |
| stickster | Heh, leave it to Tommy to write shell scripts in the most arcane possible way.l | <a href="#t20:10:09" class="time">20:10</a> |
| stickster | Why use $VARNAME when you can use $c ? | <a href="#t20:10:20" class="time">20:10</a> |
| stickster | OK... let's see if we can fix this | <a href="#t20:11:17" class="time">20:11</a> |
| couf | so okay, just to clearify, if I copy the figs directory one up, it works | <a href="#t20:13:06" class="time">20:13</a> |
| quaid | yes | <a href="#t20:13:33" class="time">20:13</a> |
| couf | so should I move the dir on cvs or not? | <a href="#t20:14:00" class="time">20:14</a> |
| stickster | couf: Right | <a href="#t20:14:04" class="time">20:14</a> |
| stickster | I'm taking care of it, making it a little more obvious they're to be translated | <a href="#t20:14:14" class="time">20:14</a> |
| couf | stickster: okay | <a href="#t20:14:20" class="time">20:14</a> |
| stickster | Why does my po dir keep disappearing? OH well | <a href="#t20:14:52" class="time">20:14</a> |
| stickster | OK, they're in the right place now | <a href="#t20:18:11" class="time">20:18</a> |
| stickster | cvs up and so forth :-) | <a href="#t20:18:18" class="time">20:18</a> |
| stickster | Oh crap, that is going to suck now. | <a href="#t20:20:43" class="time">20:20</a> |
| couf | okay works | <a href="#t20:21:00" class="time">20:21</a> |
| stickster | OK, our whole copy-figs thing is completely fux0r3d. | <a href="#t20:21:03" class="time">20:21</a> |
| stickster | couf: Well, it copies, but the sucky part is that now the lang codes are going to interfere with the L10N work | <a href="#t20:21:22" class="time">20:21</a> |
| couf | yeah, will be a problem for a bit later | <a href="#t20:21:50" class="time">20:21</a> |
| stickster | Because I gave them names with a L10n code, it means the XML has to point to that file name. When a translator translates, they may not get the chance to change that file name. | <a href="#t20:21:57" class="time">20:21</a> |
| couf | let's first get the full xml | <a href="#t20:21:58" class="time">20:21</a> |
| stickster | Thus the suck. | <a href="#t20:22:01" class="time">20:22</a> |
| stickster | Sure | <a href="#t20:22:08" class="time">20:22</a> |
| couf | right | <a href="#t20:22:09" class="time">20:22</a> |
| stickster | couf: All right, what else do you need to keep going? | <a href="#t20:22:23" class="time">20:22</a> |
| stickster | I need to get some lunch and a bunch of other things done here today | <a href="#t20:22:34" class="time">20:22</a> |
| couf | not much I think, I'll do a recap of what I know now | <a href="#t20:22:47" class="time">20:22</a> |
| couf | 1) check header of each xml-doc + add to parent file | <a href="#t20:23:02" class="time">20:23</a> |
| couf | 2) change admonition stuff | <a href="#t20:23:11" class="time">20:23</a> |
| couf | 3) figures | <a href="#t20:23:14" class="time">20:23</a> |
| couf | right? | <a href="#t20:23:19" class="time">20:23</a> |
| stickster | that will be a great start, also 1a) make sure the top-level element of each file is a <chapter> and not a <section> or <article> | <a href="#t20:23:37" class="time">20:23</a> |
| stickster | (close the tag at the end too) | <a href="#t20:23:44" class="time">20:23</a> |
| couf | right | <a href="#t20:23:54" class="time">20:23</a> |
| stickster | cool then, don't worry about validation problems -- do your best and I will be happy to help house-clean later | <a href="#t20:24:07" class="time">20:24</a> |
| couf | okay | <a href="#t20:24:14" class="time">20:24</a> |
| stickster | We'll also need to figure out this stupid figs deal. | <a href="#t20:24:31" class="time">20:24</a> |
| stickster | It could be my lack of clue about the copy-figs script, I'll re-read when I'm not starving :-D | <a href="#t20:24:45" class="time">20:24</a> |
| couf | all righty, gonna try to get the most done as long as time permits it here | <a href="#t20:26:17" class="time">20:26</a> |
| couf | the rest'll be for tomorrow | <a href="#t20:26:23" class="time">20:26</a> |
| jmbuser | couf: I tried to pay careful attention to what you guys were doing, but i got interrupted several times by phone calls - and my brain is tired from a full day's work. | <a href="#t20:28:27" class="time">20:28</a> |
| couf | jmbuser: I'm trying to keep a list of what we've done, I'll pass it on to you, once it's got some cleanup doneµ | <a href="#t20:29:07" class="time">20:29</a> |
