Docs site will give weird search results
by Paul W. Frields 24 May '10

24 May '10

Hi IRC ops, The new docs site available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org includes major changes in the organization of docs. The search feature on the site may not be fully functional for some time. Search engines will need to recrawl the site and reindex the content. It is not possible to rewrite all the URLs required to redirect site visitors who have old links, because of the number and complexity of rewrites. When a user hits a "no such page" (404) error, they are redirected to the top-level welcome document, and on the sidebar the visitor will find a much more functional menu of documents to browse. IRC operators may to check any important links they use appearing on the docs.fp.o site to make those links work as they expect. -- Paul W.

Moderators queue
by Paul W. Frields 23 May '10

23 May '10

The Infrastructure team reports that we have 220 held messages in the Docs queue as of today. If no one is moderating that queue regularly, then in fairness it should be set to reject posts from non-members so we are not setting wrong expectations. Also, the longer that queue gets the more it can potentially slow down mailman (directory length). I already regularly check and prune three other queues regularly. I believe this issue has come up before and since we're up against the same issue, I'd recommend setting the list to reject by default, optionally with a customized, more polite message attached. -- Paul W.

Help with RPM guide
by Jon Stanley 23 May '10

23 May '10

Hey Ben - I found the RPM guide while Googling around for information about the python RPM bindings. While the information contained in the guide was extremely useful (and in fact answered all of my questions), I think that there are places where it could use some formatting work and updating (I don't think we need to worry about anyone using Python 1.6 anymore! :D). There also seems to be a bit of "content scope creep" where Python GUI toolkits and other general Python topics are addressed that I'm not sure that guide is the right place. I'm mainly interested in the Python API for my own uses (and we could probably throw stuff in on the Yum API as well, which is fairly powerful and lacking documentation), but could probably help with updating the rest of the guide as well in what little free time I have, but it seems like something that I can take a little at a time, and would be happy to help the docs team however I can! :) Let me know what you think! -Jon

URLS to change on fedoraproject.org for new docs site
by Nick Bebout 20 May '10

20 May '10

Could anyone who has time please look at stg.fedoraproject.org and see what URLS need to change when we move to the new docs site that is currently at docs.stg.fedoraproject.org? Either file a websites ticket at http://fedorahosted.org/fedora-websites or email me or email here and someone can fix them (I have access, so if you let me know what links to fix, I can do so. Nick

Build Fedora12 in Fedora Way
by Murthy Mamidi 20 May '10

20 May '10

Hi, Not sure who to report this correction to, so took a took best guess and posted this to docs team. This following URL http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel gave a wonderful update to building Fedora12. Everything is great except a minor thing. It is as follows ... In the step - 1.3 Copy the Source Tree and Generate a Patch<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel#Copy_the_Source_Tree…> once the 'diff' is done to generate the patch, the tree under the directory ~/rpmbuild/BUILD/kernel-2.6.$ver/linux-2.6.$ver.$arch/ could *have* files ending in "*.orig" should any update be done via "patch". Basically I applied patches to the tree instead of hand editing the files. This left some files with "*.orig". If this tree is left like this, once the steps, particularly - 1.5 Prepare Build Files<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel#Prepare_Build_Files> is done and if one attempts - 1.6 Build the New Kernel<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel#Build_the_New_Kernel> it *could* fail, if the any patches that get applied from the original source itself had to generate "*.orig" file or have clashes. So workaround I had to use is, after - 1.3 Copy the Source Tree and Generate a Patch<http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel#Copy_the_Source_Tree…> is done, I did cd ~/rpmbuild/BUILD which would be so, by end of 1.3 anyway, so not really necessary but) find . -name "*.orig" -exec rm -f {} \ -- Murthy V Mamidi

[CHANGE REQUEST] Move to new Publican 2.0-generated docs.fedoraproject.org site
by Nick Bebout 20 May '10

20 May '10

Thanks to Rudi Landmann's hard work, the Publican-2.0 generated version of the docs.fedoraproject.org site is now ready to be deployed. We (the docs team) would really like to get this up before the Fedora 13 release. This will be a usability and visual improvement, as well as making it so that docs authors no longer have to manually edit html to add a new document or a new release, etc. This will be handled by Publican. I am asking for 2 +1's for the following patches, all are to puppet/modules/fedora-docs/files/fedora-docs-proxy.conf: [PATCH] Add /public_html onto the end of DocumentRoot [PATCH] Indexes are not needed for docs.fedoraproject.org [PATCH] Redirect 404s to the root for docs.fedoraproject.org [PATCH] Remove old rewrites which are no longer needed The other (main) part of the change is merging the Publican-2.0 branch of /git/docs/web.git into master The new site is up at http://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org if anyone wants to see it. Thank you, Nick, for the docs team -- Nick Bebout Fedora Project nb(a)fedoraproject.org
