This can be restored if the tool is again working 19:15:23 <yurchor> +1 19:16:15 <papoteur_> I suggested to Akien to withdraw also the tool itself. The source is not even in our repo. 19:16:37 <lebarhon> a not documented tool is a bug :) 19:17:08 <papoteur_> lebarhon: ;) 19:17:13 <marja> well, or we could document how to get it to work 19:18:09 <lebarhon> marja: it doesn't seem that easy 19:18:13 <marja> does anyone still have the old Mdv documentation... I'm curious what they wrote about the tool 19:18:14 <papoteur_> marja: there no sense to document a graphical tool saying edit the config file blabla... 19:18:42 <marja> papoteur_: lebarhon: ok 19:19:39 <papoteur_> lebarhon: what is your opinion? 19:20:52 <papoteur_> the way is to withdraw the line in MCC.xml manual. 19:21:34 <marja> ah, mdv used to have a screen to add cron entries for backups 19:22:09 <lebarhon> Mdv 2006 skipped Draksnapshot 19:22:35 <lebarhon> I am to withdraw help and tool 19:22:51 <marja> but that was part of a different tool 19:23:29 <marja> lebarhon: draksnapshot was in the MCC manual of Mdv 2010 19:23:53 <papoteur_> #action withdrawing draksnapshot page in MCC manual 19:24:06 <marja> lebarhon: it doesn't tell that creating a cron job is needed, so I guess the tool is broken now 19:24:08 <lebarhon> marja: I don't find it in 2006 19:24:59 <papoteur_> I think it was written by tv in 2008/2009 19:25:30 <papoteur_> next topic 19:25:38 <filip_> AFAIK it's only a GUI for rsnapshot tool. works nice here. 19:26:06 <marja> filip_: does it work without creating a cron job? 19:26:24 <papoteur_> #topic publications of documentation for Mageia 6 19:26:29 <marja> filip_: so for a one-time snapshot? 19:26:36 <filip_> IIRC rsnapshot install does that 19:27:20 <lebarhon> in 2006 it was Drakbackup 19:28:05 <marja> lebarhon: that's a different tool, it still existed in Mdv2010, too 19:28:13 <papoteur_> First question. Is our documentation ready for publication. 19:28:28 <papoteur_> ? 19:28:29 <marja> lebarhon: that's the tool that allows to configure cronjobs for backups 19:28:53 <Kernewes> I see that chooseDesktop.xml only refers to KDE, Gnome and LXDE, is that right? 19:29:06 <marja> papoteur_: sorry, I haven't really looked at our documentation recently :-( 19:29:17 <yurchor> papoteur_: Translations are ready, synced and put on the staging server. 19:29:20 <lebarhon> marja: sorry, no Draksnapshot, I will have a better look later 19:29:44 <marja> Kernewes: that doesn't sound good 19:30:09 <papoteur_> yurchor: are all publications on docteam.mageia.nl? 19:30:11 <Kernewes> especially now we have Xfce to choose from when downloading 19:30:36 <yurchor> papoteur_: AFAIK, yes. 19:31:03 <yurchor> papoteur_: At least all of them, that are on 100% now. 19:31:09 <Kernewes> as well as other desktops such as MATE 19:31:39 <marja> I forgot what we decided to do with KDE/Plasma5 19:31:49 <filip_> sorry guys. I pinged sysadmins for doc ftp space in February for PDF and EPUB. Pascal responded that he'll look that day into it. but it seems we both forgot. so I pinged some sysadmins off ML again just now. 19:32:27 <papoteur_> yurchor: thx 19:32:37 <papoteur_> Kernewes: You're right 19:33:37 <papoteur_> filip_: thx. Yes, I remember that FTP wasn't accessible. 19:33:46 <marja> filip_: thx 19:34:30 <papoteur_> chooseDesktop has to be edited: replace KDE with Plasma (the SC in ENglish is OK) 19:34:56 <papoteur_> and talk about other environments 19:35:51 <lebarhon> Plasma is the KDE Deskop, It is OK 19:36:46 <papoteur_> Ah 19:37:24 <papoteur_> thus, we keep it? 19:37:31 <lebarhon> I understand it like thhat 19:38:35 <Kernewes> maybe we could call it KDE Plasma 19:38:42 <papoteur_> Kernewes: what do you mean? 19:39:08 <lebarhon> Plasma is the desktop developped by KDE 19:39:16 <marja> KDE's Plasma 19:39:26 <Kernewes> marja: or that, yes 19:39:37 <Kernewes> to make it clear 19:40:22 <papoteur_> And about the LXDE reference? 19:40:33 <Kernewes> do we still have LXDE? 19:40:40 <papoteur_> Kernewes: yes 19:40:41 <Kernewes> and is is called something else now? 19:40:49 <Kernewes> is it 19:41:24 <marja> well, iinm LXDE became LXQT, but then some developers revived LXDE 19:41:29 <marja> I think we have both 19:41:55 <marja> yeah, we have both 19:42:00 <papoteur_> Kernewes: RazorQt became LXQt, but they are both here 19:42:16 <papoteur_> ;) 19:42:46 <lebarhon> we don't have RazorQt nor LxQt 19:43:10 <Kernewes> I've forgotten what options come up on the screen when you choose a desktop 19:43:27 <papoteur_> Either we list all DE, or we stay general "there is other DE choices" 19:43:30 <filip_> I think we should respect upstream naming and case 19:44:14 <marja> filip_: yes, but it's so hard to remember :-( 19:44:39 <papoteur_> lebarhon: LXQt is not on DVD, but can be installed 19:44:41 <lebarhon> On the first screen there are Plasma, Gnome and Custom. 19:44:41 <Kernewes> We could just say that if you select "Custom" you have others to choose from 19:44:52 <marja> :s task-lxqt 19:44:53 <Sophie> marja: Metapackage for LXQt // core-release (Mga, cauldron, x86_64), core-release (Mga, cauldron, i586) 19:45:04 <marja> :s task-razorqt 19:45:09 <Sophie> marja: There is no rpm named `task-razorqt' in (Mga, cauldron, x86_64), but the word matches in core-release (Mga, 4, i586), core-release (Mga, 4, x86_64) 19:45:13 <lebarhon> papoteur_: Ok but you can't name it in the help 19:46:19 <papoteur_> I think it is better not to list them, for esier maintaining the doc. 19:46:33 <papoteur_> s/easier 19:46:34 <Kernewes> +1 19:46:34 <lebarhon> Kernewes: it is what is written 19:47:17 <Kernewes> lebarhon: yes, but it mentions LXDE specially, we could take that out as we have other lightweight DEs as well 19:48:20 <lebarhon> LXDE is given as an exemple, it was like that in Mageia 5 help 19:49:10 <Kernewes> lebarhon: then perhaps we could say "for example ..." 19:49:26 <lebarhon> What is lightweight ? is Cinnamon lightweight ? 19:49:47 <Kernewes> Xfce is quite light 19:49:53 <marja> Kernewes: I agree that LXDE isn't the best example atm, but changing it will be hard on the translators, and some translations will break forever (like Esperanto, which, afaik, hasn't been updated in ages) 19:49:55 <Kernewes> I wouldn't call Cinnamon lightweight 19:50:07 <Kernewes> marja: ah, I see 19:50:50 <lebarhon> LXDE is the lighter 19:51:04 <lebarhon> *lightest 19:51:26 <Kernewes> OK, we'll leave it as it is 19:52:11 <papoteur_> OK. But this could be changed for Mageia 7 ;) 19:52:20 <marja> yes 19:52:40 <papoteur_> Is there other pages to discuss? 19:53:14 <papoteur_> #action no change in chooseDesktop 19:53:40 <papoteur_> for installer. 19:55:26 <papoteur_> OK, for now we can discuss about what is to publish 19:56:10 <papoteur_> the most urgent is the package to include in the installer. 19:57:37 <papoteur_> this is described here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/How_to_package_drakx-installer-help 19:58:15 <papoteur_> I will to it tomorrow I hope. 19:59:10 <marja> papoteur_: thx! 19:59:11 <papoteur_> After that, I will ask AKien to push the package 20:00:52 <papoteur_> next there is packages for each manual and each language 20:01:38 <papoteur_> all goes in svn in this case. 20:02:36 <papoteur_> oops, we lost lebarhon 20:02:56 <marja> :-( 20:03:22 <papoteur_> do you think that the way is open for that? 20:03:52 <yurchor> papoteur_: I do. 20:03:58 <marja> papoteur_: yes, that should be done, and I'm sure the packages will be pushed... we've been late with them before 20:04:11 <papoteur_> It could be better to have new screenshots. 20:04:57 <yurchor> papoteur_: Yes. But... we do not have them for translations. 20:05:08 <marja> papoteur_: let's find new contributors and do better for Mga7 :-) 20:05:32 <yurchor> marja: +1 20:06:04 <papoteur_> OK, thus i'm happy that you can do that yurchor :) 20:06:18 <marja> papoteur_: ? 20:06:29 <marja> papoteur_: ah, joking? 20:06:36 <lebarhon> Sorry but the storm stopped my electricity supply 20:06:44 <marja> lebarhon: ouch! 20:06:58 <marja> lebarhon: welcome back :-) 20:06:59 <yurchor> lebarhon: Wow! 20:07:01 <papoteur_> l;) 20:07:10 <Kernewes> lebarhon: :( 20:07:25 <papoteur_> oops, my keyboard is funny 20:07:27 <lebarhon> seaside isn't always for fun :) 20:08:54 <papoteur_> lebarhon: we agree that the publications packages have to go away, and I will do, I hope this week. 20:09:19 <marja> papoteur_: merci bcp 20:09:22 <lebarhon> papoteur_: you are the packager ? 20:10:23 <marja> lebarhon: first the git and svn sources need to be updated and new tarballs need to be created, that's what papoteur wants to do 20:10:32 <papoteur_> lebarhon: no, but I can commit on svn 20:10:56 <lebarhon> thanks 20:11:28 <papoteur_> I need then the contribution of a packager. 20:12:04 <papoteur_> the last side is the web. 20:12:59 <papoteur_> filip_ said that we have not yet access to FTP. This has to be solved first. 20:14:23 <filip_> papoteur_: PDF and EPUB files can come separate. so anytime later as html is a priority anyway. 20:14:40 <papoteur_> the page of our documentation has also to be updated with adding the netinstall manual. 20:15:15 <filip_> when html is ready just ping me/us on atelier ML 20:15:47 <papoteur_> OK. This is fine. I will. 20:16:11 <papoteur_> filip_: and for the netinstall? 20:17:38 <filip_> that too 20:17:44 <filip_> when ready 20:18:29 <marja> papoteur_: I'm wondering whether that manual should get an "Advanced" label on the page with manuals, to make clear that it isn't recommended for newbies 20:18:41 <papoteur_> filip_: I have just to check that all languages we have are published. 20:18:53 <filip_> ok 20:20:20 <papoteur_> marja: I didn't had this question before. 20:21:58 <yurchor> What does it mean "html is ready"? 20:22:32 <filip_> I can add a note on the web page but we need to agree. even better if we formulate the sentance 20:23:13 <marja> yurchor: the webhelp publications 20:23:20 <filip_> yurchor: html and other stuff is ziped and put on the server 20:23:52 <filip_> so we can use automated scripts to publish on git 20:23:58 <yurchor> papoteur_: I think I have created all publications for NetInstall (html+html zipped + pdf + epub). 20:24:44 <papoteur_> yurchor: thanks a lot. \o/ 20:25:07 <yurchor> It is enough to take them from docteam.mageia.ml and put to the right place. 20:25:35 <yurchor> The only problem is logo for PDF. 20:25:57 <papoteur_> Ah? 20:26:31 <marja> filip_: papoteur_: a description like "Only for advanced users: online manual for network installs... " 20:26:36 <yurchor> Regeneration of the manuals from PDF is switched to automatic, so it is enough to update XML file to have the new docs on their right place. 20:26:54 <yurchor> *from XML for sure 20:27:05 <filip_> marja: that sounds nice 20:28:04 <papoteur_> yurchor: OK, I will check the xml to have the logo. 20:28:14 <yurchor> papoteur_: Logo in "cover" file is not onthe general space (does not have ".."). 20:28:56 <papoteur_> When all is OK, I will ping filip_ 20:29:26 <papoteur_> Other thinks/topics? 20:29:45 <marja> papoteur_: Language proofreading of release notes and errata 20:30:41 <marja> papoteur_: and BugSquad needs to check which errata'ed bugs got fixed or need to be added, but any help with that is welcome (if someone is looking for a task) 20:30:43 <papoteur_> marja: this is not only language proofreading, isn't it ? 20:31:08 <marja> papoteur_: well, indeed, if there are mistakes they should be corrected :-) 20:31:13 <papoteur_> Ah, bugsquad job ;) 20:32:23 <marja> #info akien wrote a nice paragraph about the errata and release notes in his "Getting ready for the release" mail to our mailing list 20:32:38 <papoteur_> Any candidate? 20:33:26 <filip_> marja: indeed but this topic is missing 20:33:53 <filip_> it's not small at all 20:34:58 <filip_> maybe someone of us should add it just to be more complete 20:36:43 <marja> filip_: I'm becomeing too tired to think.. it's getting late 20:37:28 <papoteur_> OK, me too. What is the dely to do something? 20:37:29 <marja> Akien: didn't stormi have a tool to help review errata bugs? 20:38:01 <marja> papoteur_: no delay, should be done yesterday ;-) 20:38:14 <papoteur_> :/ 20:38:32 <marja> papoteur_: sorry 20:38:55 <filip_> marja: foe telling the truth ;) 20:39:06 <papoteur_> marja: can you a message on ml ? 20:39:07 <filip_> s/for/for 20:40:04 <papoteur_> We have to close the meeting, I think. 20:40:12 <marja> papoteur_: about the errata? tomorrow, after talking to stormi 20:40:25 <papoteur_> marja: OK. 20:41:04 <papoteur_> ANything else? 20:41:17 <papoteur_> 5 20:41:20 <papoteur_> 4 20:41:23 <papoteur_> 3 20:41:25 <papoteur_> 2 20:41:28 <papoteur_> 1 20:41:34 <papoteur_> #endmeeting
