Anaconda documents
by Taylor, ForrestX 14 Jan '04

14 Jan '04

Hi all, I am new to the list, although not new to Red Hat Linux. I am interested in writing docs for anaconda, so, is anyone was already working on them? Taking a look at the Documentation project site, I see that I need Docbook XML, stylesheets, Emacs PSGML (or NXML), etc. What is the learning curve for these? I have never done XML, and I am not an Emacs user (sorry to start a flamewar). Perhaps I could write the text and someone with more knowledge of XML/Emacs could put it into the right format. I am not unwilling to learn XML/Emacs, but my time might be spent better elsewhere. Let me know what you all think. Forrest

Hi, It is a question about fedora-docs. Almost all the file names of fedora-docs do not correspond to multilingual. ex) documentation-guide/documentation-guide.xml developer-guide/developers-guide.xml Originally you should be as follows. ex) documentation-guide/documentation-guide-en.xml developer-guide/developers-guide-en.xml Is such correction made? ----.----1----.----2----.----3----.----4----.----5----.----6----.----7 Tadashi Jokagi/Shibuya city mailto:elf@elf.no-ip.org Yokukitana http://elf.no-ip.org/ Yokukitana with PukiWiki http://elf.no-ip.org/wiki/

Fedora Docs FAQ - update 26 Nov 2003
by Karsten Wade 05 Dec '03

05 Dec '03

Please accept this humble FAQ. Please direct comments to the list, harsh criticism to me where I shall file it in its proper location. If we like this (which means no one says they don't like it?), then I'll propose either XML inclusion in the Doc Guide, or posting on the http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/ page. FAQ originally proposed in http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2003-November/msg00029.html, now brought to you in living email color: ## begin FAQ Does Fedora Project need writers/editors? Yes! Writers are needed right now more then editors, until we have something to edit. What documents does FP need? FP documents are going to be of the tutorial/HOWTO variety. This is the most useful information we can gather at this time, and it works well with the distributed project. Currently, the only full-length guide is the Installation Guide. How is the docs project organized? Rather loosely right now. Tammy Fox (tfox(a)redhat.com) is the project leader. It has been proposed that translators can work in teams by languages. We may want to organize so that every writer has two-editors, and contributors can work in either or both roles. This makes for a more cumbersome process, but the quality control is higher. What is the process/procedure for translating documents? Details are currently outlined in this email: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2003-November/msg00040.html What are PO files? PO files are textual, editable files used in translation. http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_mono/gettext.html#SEC7 What are some of the tutorial/HOWTOs currently proposed? From the mailing list: * Installing an SSH server with public/private key authentication * Configuring and using digital cameras * Anaconda documentation (in process) * Security considerings in installation * Security other (by topic, i.e. filesystems, host, etc.) * Configuring PDA Can I translate the legal notice? The legal notice page can be translated, but a statement that the translation is provided for convenience only and that the English language version takes precedence must be on the top of the page. What are the tools for writing documents? http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs details how to get the Documentation Guide source and tools. The toolchain is explained on that page, with the exception of PO files (see What are PO files?). Currently, there is a problem with PDF production (refer to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=104983) If you have TeX experience and can help us resolve that one, please dive in! I have a tutorial in HTML, how do I convert it to DocBook? Grab html2db from http://www.cise.ufl.edu/~ppadala/tidy/ . What are some resources for learning DocBook? The definitive DocBook reference written and maintained by Norm Walsh is available at http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/docbook.html . A combination tutorial and reference book is available at http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/index.html . Dave Pawson maintains a DocBook FAQ at http://www.dpawson.co.uk/docbook/ . Can I have CVS write access? Eventually, we intend for full contributors to have write access to CVS, as well as access to other build environments. This is being worked out across the entire Fedora Project, and is due to be completed by the end of calendar year 2003. In the meantime, you can contact the docs project leader Tammy Fox (tfox(a)redhat.com) with your changes. If you wish to setup your own CVS repository, or join one that others are using while waiting for the main Fedora Project CVS to be set up, please see the mail thread starting at: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2003-November/msg00140.html What else is can I do to help?

New ENTITY declarations?
by Paul W. Frields 02 Dec '03

02 Dec '03

Do we need a block of additional ENTITY declarations as a standard in the templates, or are they up to the tutorial authors to use? I have been removing the existing block of Red Hat-specific declarations, and replacing them with more Fedora-specific ones, such as: <!ENTITY FEDORA "The Fedora Project"> <!ENTITY FEDORA-URL "<ulink url='http://fedora.redhat.com/'>http://fedora.redhat.com/</ulink>"> <!ENTITY DISTRO "Fedora Core"> <!ENTITY DOCS "The Fedora Documentation Project"> <!ENTITY DOCS-URL "<ulink url='http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/'>http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/</ulink>"> I don't see a need to standardize just for the sake of it; if this is something that authors are expected to do for themselves, that's ducky by me. I just don't want to step on any toes since I'm new to this part. :-) -- Paul W. Frields, RHCE

Red Hat vs. Fedora
by Hugo Cisneiros 01 Dec '03

01 Dec '03

Hi, I was revising the pt_BR.po file from the anaconda-po translation, and noticed that I still see many Red Hat Linux names instead of Fedora. We should leave it? For example... anaconda.pot - : ../partIntfHelpers.py:401 msgid "" "You have chosen to use a pre-existing partition for this installation " "without formatting it. Red Hat recommends that you format this partition to " "make sure files from a previous operating system installation do not cause " "problems with this installation of Linux. However, if this partition " "contains files that you need to keep, such as a users home directories, then " "you should continue without formatting this partition." msgstr "" - #: ../rescue.py:257 #, python-format msgid "" "The rescue environment will now attempt to find your Red Hat Linux " "installation and mount it under the directory %s. You can then make any " "changes required to your system. If you want to proceed with this step " "choose 'Continue'. You can also choose to mount your file systems read-only " "instead of read-write by choosing 'Read-Only'.\n" "\n" "If for some reason this process fails you can choose 'Skip' and this step " "will be skipped and you will go directly to a command shell.\n" "\n" msgstr "" - #: ../upgrade.py:475 msgid "" "This system appears to have third party packages installed that overlap with " "packages included in Red Hat Linux. Because these packages overlap, " "continuing the upgrade process may cause them to stop functioning properly " "or may cause other system instability. Please see the release notes for " "more information.\n" "\n" "Do you wish to continue the upgrade process?" msgstr "" - Call the developers? Change and commit the changes to CVS? Or just leave this alone? []'s Hugo

Hello all, I've just downloaded and installed Fedora Core 1, replacing my existing RH9 setup and so far so good, I'm very impressed. I've always wanted to contribute something back to the distribution I use and feel that Fedora might be the ideal chance. Since security is the area of computing I know best (and what earns me my paycheque) I'd love to write some form of "Securing Fedora" guide. Would this be something useful to the project? I've just checked out fedora-docs from CVS and I'll start to look over those files and the documentation guide. James -- http://jamesd.ukgeeks.co.uk/

Translation project -- Catalan
by Josep Puigdemont 26 Nov '03

26 Nov '03

(I posted this message in fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com, and I was suggested to post it this list also, so here we go!) Hi!! I have recently joined Fedora's translation project, and would like to start working on the translation to the Catalan language. I hope I am not posting to the wrong list (should I post at i18n(a)redhat.com?) if I do, please tell me and accept my apologies :) I have some questions: I've got CVS access, checked out "translate" module, and reviewed. Now, Catalan is a new language (there is no ca.po for any application), so to start with anaconda, for instance, I created it using msginit like this: $ msginit --locale=ca -i anaconda.pot Is that how you would normally do it? Then, once the file is translated, do I have rights to commit (and thus add a new file) into the repository, or is there someone coordinating the translation efforts that should do it? Shall I file a RFE requesting the addition of a new language, maybe? If it exists a FAQ or documentation about this, let me know! Thanks, Josep P.S.: If there are subscribers here that would like to help to translate Fedora into catalan, we're going to coordinate from http://www.softcatala.org/llistes/ (list "Fedora").

anaconda documentation topics
by Alexander Rau (work) 24 Nov '03

24 Nov '03

Well, I had a quick glance through my notes and I think I will try to start on: 3. What is needed to re-build anaconda (disk space, packages) (requirements) 7. Set up your build environment (tree structures needed and so on) and 9. Step by step walkthrough the whole buildinstall process (since I just went through the whole thing!) But I will wait till we are approved at sourceforge and until Taylor had a chance to improve the TOC. I will also try to contact Brian to see if we could mention his kickstart-tools that were so valuable for making my distro. AR

html-nochunks, and PDF papersize

Tammy, if it's not too much trouble, could you also add the following to the Makefile for people who need single HTML files for whatever reason: html-nochunks: @xmlto html-nochunks $(XMLFILE) And, just to show my blissful ignorance, can anyone tell me how to get my PDF's to build as US-letter size instead of A4? I am using FC1 and simply don't know enough about xmlto or the rest of the DocBook-XML toolset to figure this out. I've tried a number of things already and none appear to have any effect. -- Paul W.

ok im over on this list now (from anaconda-devel-list) a few of us from the anaconda-devel list are interested in helping out putting together some form of documentation for anaconda. whether it be a FAQ, a HOW-TO, a general guide or whatever it needs to be - we don't have much of an idea about how to get things rolling and/or what type of topics to cover in the doc. i'm hoping here we can get some advice and find a common meeting place for getting some stuff down on 'paper'.

Issues related to translation
by Sarah Wang 18 Nov '03

18 Nov '03

Hi all, Apologies to all those people who have showed interests in Fedora Translation Project for responding so late. We have been quite busy trying to clear out the last release. To become a translator, you first need to sign up an account on http://rhlinux.redhat.com/cgi-bin/i18n-signup/ The steps to generate ssh key pair need by the sign up process are: * open a terminal window * [username@host homedirectory]$ cd .ssh * [username@host .ssh]$ ls * If you see "id_dsa" and "id_dsa.pub", you can skip the following steps. However, you must remember the password you have used to generate the keys. * If you do not see the above two files, do the following: * [username@host .ssh]$ssh-keygen -t dsa * You will be requested to enter your password twice to generate the key pair. * Once the keys are generated, copy the "id_dsa.pub" content and paste it into the account sign up page. (you can use "cat id_dsa.pub" to display the key content.) Once you have submitted account request, and got it approved, you can start to check out the modules. The CVSROOT for the software translation module is ":ext:username@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS". You can add aliases in your ~/.bashrc file to make life easier. The alias name can be changed using your own preference. And don't forget to substitute the "username" with your user name. eg: alias cvs-software='export CVSROOT=:ext:username@i18n.redhat.com:/usr/local/CVS' Now, you are ready to check out modules. The module name for software po files is "translate". e.g. [username@host homedirectory]$ cvs-software [username@host homedirectory]$ cvs -z9 co translate You should be able to find all software package names under ~/translate/ directory. Under each package, there are a number of po files such as "de.po" or "zh_CN.po". The name represents the language code. It's strongly advised that you coordinate with other translators in your language group to avoid possible file conflicts or overwriting each other's work. This is just a rough outline. We will post more detailed information on the website as soon as we can. Thanks for your contribution! Sarah

Font on Fedora website
by Jaap A. Haitsma 17 Nov '03

Hi, I really like the design of the fedora webpage. Just a minor remark, when I read the page with a browser or on the other OS that does not support anti aliased fonts the font looks quite bad. www.mozilla.org uses a very similar font (maybe it's even the same :-) ) but the font looks OK on the other OS. So maybe it's quite easy to fix this. Jaap

Fedora Docs FAQ - proposal, draft
by Karsten Wade 13 Nov '03

13 Nov '03

All: It looks like we have some regular questions on this list. If we can gather together some questions and answers, perhaps Tammy can post a FAQ on fedora.redhat.com, and/or we can include the FAQ in the Mailman "Welcome" email. I'm happy to maintain it for now. Below is what I've thought of so far. Let's use this thread to gather the questions and answers. These are my proposed answers, please feel free to "fix" them: ## begin FAQ (draft) ## Does Fedora Project need writers/editors? Yes! Writers are needed right now more then editors, until we have something to edit. What documents does FP need? FP documents are going to be of the tutorial/HOWTO variety. This is the most useful information we can gather at this time, and it works well with the distributed project. In the future, if small teams want to work on larger works similar to the manuals for Red Hat products, we can work on adding that in. How is the docs project organized? Rather loosely right now. Tammy Fox (tfox(a)redhat.com) is the project leader. It has been proposed that translators can work in teams by languages. We may want to organize so that every writer has two-editors, and contributors can work in either or both roles. This makes for a more cumbersome process, but the quality control is higher. What is the process/procedure for translating documents? There is currently no defined process. We are waiting for the participation of the ever-busy Red Hat docs translation team. What are PO files? PO files are textual, editable files used in translation. http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_mono/gettext.html#SEC7 What are some of the tutorial/HOWTOs currently proposed? From the mailing list: * Installing an SSH server with public/private key authentication * Configuring and using digital cameras Can I translate the legal notice? The legal notice page can be translated, but a statement that the translation is provided for convenience only and that the English language version takes precedence must be on the top of the page. What are the tools for writing documents? http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs details how to get the Documentation Guide source and tools. The toolchain is explained on that page, with the exception of PO files (see What are PO files?).

In the future i suggest to create teams for each country they make translation for. I think this way the things are better coordinated. What you mean? An example what i mean is here: http://i18n.kde.org/teams/ Does this make sense? Greetz Christian

Interested in volunteering

Hello, I'm interested in writing some documentation for Fedora. I'm not a professional technical writer, but I have written some employee manuals for the technical support at my university. I have also spent a considerable amount of time helping Linux users on IRC, which has lead me to write some guides in the past. At the present, there isn't a particular topic I would like to cover. I would simply like to help the project in some way. My time is too limited while I'm in graduate school to undertake any serious coding or bug fixing, but I want to contribute to the project and do what is needed. I've not used many of the tools listed on the project page, as most of my writing is done in LaTeX for my work. I can, however, learn quickly and am willing to do so. Please reply directly to me or include my address as a Cc, as I haven't subscribed to the fedora-docs-list yet. Thanks! Brent W.

Loving Fedora

Hi there, just installed fedora looking for ACPI support to power off my computer. Got it with little work but also really surprised with the core system. It's run much faster in my machine than rh9 and feel the graphics look better. Well, i'm a newbie buy i'm here to learn. I'm gonna start with the documentation guide and try emacs. I'd like to help with the documentation. I need some time but hope soon can help with translations (to spanish). The redhat-config-package can't read the cdrom, does someone knows about it? Enjoy fedora hector
