jEdit
by Karl Larsen 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

I got jEdit working in a terminal but it doesn't work. If I use $ jedit file1 it comes up and a panel that does nothing comes up in the way. I tried to make a file and have tried Control-s to save it and it does not work. The instructions seem not to be for a Linux Terminal. Does anyone here know how to use jEdit? Karl -- Karl F.

text editor documentation for docbook
by Murray McAllister 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

Hi, I have, very slowly, been working internally on a few small documents for Kate and jEdit, concentrating on the features to make it easy to use/work with XML (plug-ins, extra packages etc). Paul suggested I could host this somewhere and let everyone else add to it. Does anyone know if it is possible to set up, say, svn in fedorapeople? For example, set up a directory in my home directory on fedorapeople and run svn from there? Or is there a place on the wiki I could post this? I have finished Kate, just not jEdit...nothing is private, so I don't see the problem in copying it all straight into somewhere public. I am not an expert with Kate or jEdit so it would be great to see what other people know. Thanks for your help. Regards, Murray. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pub 1024D/81B3FDEB 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18] Key fingerprint = 4ED9 9907 5BF0 4132 2B46 20D1 C0C6 362D 81B3 FDEB Murray McAllister (Fedora Docs Project / mdious) <murray.mcallister(a)gmail.com> sub 2048g/B04CFA0C 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18]

Request for Review: Using FireGPG
by Eric Christensen 04 Jan '08

04 Jan '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/WithFireGPG I started this page yesterday before finding all the information on joining the documentation team and how to PROPERLY submit a work. Sorry... I have started a page with instructions on installing and setting up FireGPG which is a Firefox extension that allows users to sign and encrypt e-mail messages when using a webmail client. It was actually specifically designed to integrate with Gmail but also works with other webmail products (really any time you need to sign and/or encrypt text you can use the extension). I haven't added the information for using it with webmail clients other than Gmail but what is there should be correct. I'd appreciate someone verifying the information.

[Fwd: Re: GPG Keysigning at FUDCon]
by John Poelstra 03 Jan '08

Would it make sense to change our docs to refer to subkeys.pgp.net instead of MIT?

This is the default keyserver in recent gnupg releases. I think that there is a sync between pgp.mit.edu and subkeys.pgp.net, but I'm not positive. The gnupg default is subkeys.pgp.net because pgp.mit.edu runs ancient keyserver software that has many known problems (it ignores photo packets, can munge up multiple subkeys, and other annoyances). -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I do nothing, granted.

copying+pasting screen examples
by Murray McAllister 01 Jan '08

01 Jan '08

Hi, I am trying to re-do the DNS section for use with RPMs instead of tarball. I have just noticed that I can't correctly copy and paste the examples I have done using {{{ }}}. I assume these will be converted to <screen> tags eventually, maybe the problem will go away then. For example, copying the /etc/named.conf options section from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide/Servers/DNSB… appears as the following in vim: options { directory "/etc/bind"; allow--query {any;}; recursion no; pid--file "/var/run/named/named.pid"; zone--statistics yes; statistics-f-ile "/etc/bind/namedstats.log"; }; There are double "-" characters, however these characters did not appear when I copied them from vim into here :( . These options will not be valid when double "-" characters are used. I'm not sure if this is a huge problem, but I thought it would be ncie if people could copy and paste these samples to get a basic working configuration before changing it to suit their needs. I was thinking of putting a warning to look out for this, but I thought it would look sloppy. Has anyone had this problem before? Kind Regards, Murray. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pub 1024D/81B3FDEB 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18] Key fingerprint = 4ED9 9907 5BF0 4132 2B46 20D1 C0C6 362D 81B3 FDEB Murray McAllister (Fedora Docs Project / mdious) <murray.mcallister(a)gmail.com> sub 2048g/B04CFA0C 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18]
