po4a support for manpages

2008-08-07 Thread Frederic Lehobey
Hi,

  I have implemented po4a support for manpages. The only thing to do
to update the translations is:

$ make po4a

  The configuration file is manpages/po4a/live-helper.cfg.

  The po files to be provided to the translators are in the

manpages/po4a/{de,fr,...} directories.

  I have published my git tree there:

http://lehobey.net/live-helper.git

(I am new to git.)

  commit 3ef042f35ad83ac0e70d4b2de9185f4cf5c4fbf3

  As a matter of proof of the concept, I have (almost) translated in
French two of the manpages. I have not activated the translations yet
(variable TRANSLATIONS=de in the Makefile).

Best regards,
Frédéric

Jigdo?

2008-08-06 Thread Frederic Lehobey
Hi,

Chris Walker has just suggested to me that Live isos could be
downloaded with Jigdo. Have you ever thought about it? Does it sound
sensible / possible?

Best regards,
Frédéric

Re: The Debian Live manual

2008-08-06 Thread Frederic Lehobey
Hi,

  I am currently catching up with the last 6 months of development of
live-helper.

  I discovered a nice manual is on its way. Thanks.

Chris Lamb [EMAIL PROTECTED] (2008-05-11 23:08:11) :

 I recently starting putting together the beginnings of the Debian Live
 manual. I have setup a simple autobuilder which is updated every hour:

  Please find attached a patch that simply consists in my first
reading of it. No addition of content yet.  :)

Best regards,

Re: Where is live-initramfs

 Using the /etc/apt/sources.list with

Replacing in the line above 'unstable' by 'sid' should make your
settings work as expected.

 and the /etc/apt/apt.conf with
 
   APT::Default-Release sid;
 
 I am unable to do a
 
   apt-get -t sid install live-initramfs
 
 It says that it can't find the package. It used to be untable. Where has it 
 gone?

It is still in sid (but apt does not know sid=unstable, it is only in
your head).

Re: LIVE_BOOTAPPEND= locale=fr

 I'm a french user of make-live (live-package - utility to build Debian

  start the live-Cd I have this error message: Could not find kernel

  I think of not having written the good locale one. Can you help me ?

  With respect to the locales, this :

(read also
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/debian-live-devel/2007-February/000864.html)

used to work. But as Daniel told you, live-package is deprecated,
unmaintained and replaced by live-helper. Cannot you use the latter?

I am currently learning to use live-helper (with French locale) and
would be happy to try helping you (on this list) if you decide to
switch to live-helper.

OK.  ;-)

 you used LH_INITRAMFS=live-initramfs but live-initramfs is not installed
 in your chroot.
 
 if you use etch and LH_INITRAMFS=live-initramfs, you need to make sure
 you have a repository in your sources.list which contains
 live-initramfs. look at e.g.
 /usr/share/live-helper/examples/sources/live-backports on how to do it best.

That was it. Thanks for the explanation. Still digging a bit
further. (Once I am sure I understand things better, I will update the
Wiki page where I believe it is needed...)

Best regards,
Frédéric
