[opensuse-doc] html to docbook
by jdd 30 Apr '07

30 Apr '07

there is just now a discussion on a tldp list http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:10345:200704:lceadkhkfeahggjijpgo I had also this (I think private) answer: I suggest you http://conglomerate.org/ This XML editor can edit and import plain text files to XML. You just have to select the text file and this edotor convert it to XML format automatically. I hope this help you. I use combination of OpenOffice and Conglomerate to all my documents. OpenOffice can handle almos every file format and Conglomerate can edit it and can produce perfectly clean XML DocBook code. (and this product is GPL) jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Cécile, esthéticienne à Montpellier http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-doc] Wiki to PDF? Using Wiki as a doc source?
by Clayton 29 Apr '07

29 Apr '07

I've been poking around in the info on the LfL (FOSDEM presentation, mailing list archives etc), and have a question... or two... >From what I've gathered, doc input is all done in DocBook XML (or flat text that is converted to DocBook XML). Output formats for LfL are PDF, HTML and Wiki. Is there any thought or (future) plan to use MediaWiki as an input source? Has anyone successfully managed to go from MediaWiki source to XML and then on (via Apache FO) to PDF? (the XML to PDF is relatively easy... it's the Wiki to XML that's looking ugly to me).

[opensuse-doc] [STYLE] Terminology for Sources from which Packages Are Installed
by Rebecca Walter 25 Apr '07

25 Apr '07

We need to unify terminology for all the various types of sources from which packages are installed (CDs, DVDs, network sources, etc.). So before I start saying what I think and why, I'd like to know what the community thinks. Please give me your reasoning for your preferred terminology. I'd appreciate feedback by the end of the week so we can get the discussion going and hopefully reach a decision soon. Thanks!

[opensuse-doc] SVN moving to opensuse.org?
by Francis Giannaros 23 Apr '07

23 Apr '07

Now that the opensuse.org svn is set up (for zypp etc, and possibly the artwork going over as well), are there any plans to move documents (like LFL) over to there as well?

[opensuse-doc] LfL: Some minor fixes for the VirtualBox article
by Christian Boltz 22 Apr '07

22 Apr '07

Hello, I'm just reading the Virtualbox article in LfL (online version on forgeftp.novell.com/lfl/.html, Revision 244 from 2007-04-16) and have some minor fixes for it: - section "Basic Installation Procedere": 4th step: The reboot isn't necessary. Just logout and log in again. - section "Intermediate Topic: Networking via Host Bridging": ... VirtualBox has option to use Host netwroking, ... Typo, should be "networking" instead of "netwroking" ;-) ... 1. As we said earlier, tunctl not included ... should be "tunctl _is_ not included" ... to manage TAP interface priviledges. should be "privileges" (without d) ... 2. Create TAP interface. Set priviledges to user tux. "privileges" without d again. Maybe search&replace is a good idea ;-) - section "Advanced Topic: Seamless Mode Virtualization" ... followed by the Open-Source responce ... "response" (with s, not c) ... Anyways, it doesn't works properly, ... "Anyway" and "work" (both without s) - section "Advanced Topic: How-To USB + openSUSE 10.2" Just FYI: the next kernel update should have the required usbfs enabled again. Oh, and the link to bugzilla is plain text instead of a link. That said, I just added VirtualBox to my to-be-tested-if-time-permits list ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz -- >> die Novell-Webseiten wissen noch gar nichts von SuSE 10 > Irgendwie müssen die geschlafen haben ;-) Oder wir haben es nur noch nicht gefunden ;-) [>>Thomas Hertweck, >Christian Boltz u.

[opensuse-doc] Please provide LfL in HTML format, online browseble
by Alexey Eremenko 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

To Novell: Please provide LfL in HTML format, online browseble. There is a link on the page below to HTML version, but it doesn't works. :( http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Lessons_for_Lizards There are some people interested in reading it. Particularly, the VirtualBox part of it :) -- -Alexey Eremenko "Technologov" --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-doc] Status of SUSE Package Conventions
by Nikolay Derkach 15 Apr '07

15 Apr '07

Hello, I'm wondering what is the status of SPC. Which is the latest revision? On the page [*] I have 2 links on pdf version (rev 1.0) and html version (rev 1.1), the last contains only Part 1, that seems odd to me.

[opensuse-doc] Reusage and improvement of package descriptions
by Daniel Arnold 15 Apr '07

15 Apr '07

Hi, Some time ago at opensuse-packaging-list (http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-packaging/2007-01/msg00002.html) I was asking for some feedback about a cross-distribution project of mine called Pakanto but probably got lost in between other messages. Pakanto (http://pakanto.org) is a (currently) small project dedicated to improve/write distribution agnostic package descriptions ready for reusage for all Linux distros. I already have a few (hopefully) useful package descriptions there (not only in English!). However writing new ones from scratch instead of improving on top of existing ones is a quite time consuming job. As it is way better to improve upon a good basis such as your package descriptions (my current aim is to provide decent package descriptions for all "official" KDE packages in English and German until the first beta Release of KDE 4) I ask you if I can import all your KDE package descriptions (descriptions of software located at KDE Subversion repository) into Pakanto under its license conditions: http://pakanto.org/wiki/Pakanto:Licensing_requirements The Pakanto license conditions aren't much different from yours (I suppose your package descriptions do have the same license as the package, so they'd be mostly LGPL/GPL in case of KDE) they just add some extra caution in order to guarantee as less as possible troubles on reusing and maintaining these texts under the copyleft principle. I'd be really happy to provide you with improved and multilingual package description texts based on yours. Are you interested? Cheers, Daniel Arnold / Arnomane
