Title:
Yelp 3.4 doesn't correctly handle conditional platform processing
Status in yelp package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in yelp source package in Precise:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
[IMPACT]
* Yelp and the Mallard help format supports conditional processing. This
means that it is possible for the text to differ based on whether the user is
currently running Unity or GNOME Shell or other desktops.
* Unfortunately, this didn't work quite right, but a fix has been released in
yelp 3.5.90.
* We need this fix in Ubuntu 12.04 because it's fairly common for Ubuntu
documentation contributors to run the current stable release while contributing
to documentation for the next release.
* As part of efforts to reduce the diff between gnome-user-docs and
ubuntu-docs, this new syntax is already in the ubuntu-docs quantal branch.
[TESTCASE]
1. Save the attached index.page file to your computer.
2. From within Unity, run yelp index.page
3. The help browser should say "You are running Unity."
4. Log out of Unity and log into another session (GNOME Shell, Fallback, or
whatever).
5. Run yelp index.page
6. The help browsers should say "You do not appear to be running Unity."
[Regression Potential]
* Regression is unlikely since the patch only affects conditional
processing. Conditional processing isn't used in the Ubuntu 12.04
release and any way it's broken.
* The patch has been deployed to Ubuntu 12.10 and other distros who
are packaging GNOME 3.5.90.
* The patch does change the ABI but nothing build-depends on yelp.
