[opensuse-doc] New version of susedoc -- Please update
by Thomas Schraitle 14 Feb '07

14 Feb '07

Hi, there is a new version of our susedoc RPM packages. I would encourage you to install it and test it. Major improvements are mainly "under the hat" but to name a few: * Separated layout from ENV file * Get rid of unnecessary environment variables * Fallback behavior for missing profiling stylesheets fixed * Profiling is done only when it is necessary * Several improvements for our "internal" stylesheets of creating openSUSE manuals (see xslt/ChangeLog for details) * Improved CSS handling * Support for multiple entity files 1. Installation and Update Please update the susedoc RPM with your favorite installation tool (YaST, smart, rug, ...). In case you use YaST and haven't added the respective repository, read [1] to add it. If you want to download the RPM package manually, find it under [2]. Choose your distribution and select "noarch". Look for susedoc-4.2_*.noarch.rpm. 2. Future Changes in ENV and Makefile The new susedoc RPM package introduces also a new, cleaner design of building our books. It affects mainly the ENV and Makefile. For the time being we support both ways, but in the future the old method will not be available anymore. Therefor we will adapat the ENV and Makefile in the future to reflect these changes. Please report any errors or other strange issues. (The openSUSE Build Server is building the packages at the moment. It takes some time. Stay tuned. ;) ) Have fun!

[opensuse-doc] Good News: new VirtualBox setup article for openSUSE project (LfL)
by Alexey Eremenko 13 Feb '07

13 Feb '07

hi all ! I have decided that this is good time for a new article to come into SUSE documentation (Lessons for Lizards), that aims to integrate better between the two products and communities. This article introduces VirtualBox to SUSErs (SUSE users) and explains step-by-step how-to install this product on openSUSE, how to run and troubleshoot and where to get help. VirtualBox is a full x86 virtualizer, like VMware, to me it's revolutionary, because it's the world's first user-friendly open-source solution in this class. I believe that people, who use VMware or VirtualPC should try this. I have committed this article to SUSE LfL SVN, and additionally provide an HTML download for those who are not LfL users. Being in LfL means that this documentation will get included with openSUSE 10.3 release. Link: http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=check_download&ufid=B6FA011A08… Hope it will help people getting started. What do you think of it? -Alexey Eremenko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-doc] SUSE ASpell Dictionary
by Rebecca Walter 08 Feb '07

08 Feb '07

We've been developing a custom in-house ASpell dictionary for a few years to help our writers and editors run more effective spell checks on our files. We've now added this to SVN (https://forgesvn1.novell.com/viewsvn/lfl/trunk/common/aspell/) so everyone working on LfL can also use this resource. It is optional to use it and we know a lot of terms are missing. I will try to update it regularly as I expand the in-house one. Hope this can help! Rebecca ps--The directory includes a README to help you get it working. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-doc] I would like to maintain & rewrite Mandrake book for SUSE
by Alexey Eremenko 05 Feb '07

05 Feb '07

hi susers ! I would like to take an excellent Mandrake book, and modify it according to SUSE's needs. Links: http://www.mandriva.com/en/community/resources/documentation http://doc.mandrivalinux.com/MandrakeLinux/101/en/Command-Line.html/ The only problem is that I don't know the book's license. Maybe I'll even commit this to TLDP. (after making more generic, distro-neutral) Please help. -Alexey Eremenko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi susers ! Good news: All my articles in LfL updated to match SUSE Documentation Style Guide. (announced earlier today by Rebecca Walter) It took me just a few hours of work to read and accomplished those recommendations.

[opensuse-doc] How about including some books with openSUSE ?
by Alexey Eremenko 27 Jan '07

27 Jan '07

hi Susers ! There are some great free books lying around, included with some OSS distributions: Those are technical books, such as "Rute" Linux tutorial, and philosophical books such as "The cathedral and the bazaar". I think it would be smart to include those two as RPMs in main repository. (or on the media itself) What do you think? -Alexey Eremenko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-doc] new docs in LfL !
by Alexey Eremenko 26 Jan '07

26 Jan '07

hi Susers ! I just committed 2 new documents to LfL:"Interoperability: Software equivalents table" and "How-To connect remotely via Telnet" Server+Client. About Interoperability: Interoperability is a new series of my documentation-set. It describes the working relationships between different Operating Systems, and helps build a healthy openSUSE integration into existing Windows environments. Enjoy ! -Alexey Eremenko. 26.01.2007. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-doc] two new How-To's in LfL
by Alexey Eremenko 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

hi Susers ! Good day today ! As I have just contributed two How-To's to our LfL effort: "How-To change your MAC address" and "How-To access your COM port" (there was a how-to about this in our SUSE wiki, but I was unable to find it - plz help) what do you of those ? (I added those, because it's rare and undocumented in Novell docs) -Alexey Eremenko. 24.01.2007. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-doc] redundant docs of NX ? (between openSUSE and LfL docs)
by Alexey Eremenko 24 Jan '07

24 Jan '07

hi susers ! Today, I found that the how-to I wrote for LfL is not needed anymore, because the NX docs already exists as part of openSUSE docs in file: "opensuse-reference_en.pdf" on your DVD. The only problem is that openSUSE still includes knx client, which is incompatible with the new version of NX v2. I'm thinking about removing my NX how-to from the LfL. What do you think? -Alexey. 24.1.2007. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org
