Since we will drop Dapper support for emc 2.4, that means we can finally
move beyond Dapper's LyX 1.3.6. I'm about to check in some changes that
do this. After this, the correct system to edit HEAD's docs will be
Hardy. (v2_3_branch docs are still to be edited on Dapper only!)
Seb, this will require you to remove some slaves from buildbot, such as
dapper-x86-trunk-realtime-deb -- basically, anything that is on dapper
or older, builds trunk, and uses --enable-build-documentation.
When first editing a file with version 276, make a checkin that does
nothing but the conversion. This will help isolate your meaningful
changes from the noise created by the version change. Here's how to
check the version of a file:
head -2 xxx.lyx
If it prints this:
#LyX 1.3 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/
\lyxformat 221
then do a convert-only check-in: load the file in lyx, add and delete a
space somewhere, then commit it with the checkin messge like "convert to
new version of lyx". After conversion, the first two lines of the file
should be
#LyX 1.5.3 created this file. For more info see http://www.lyx.org/
\lyxformat 276
Unhappily, this interactive conversion process is a *different* output
than is given by lyx2lyx alone, so a purely automated conversion is not
possible.
$ diff -u comp-edited-to-276.lyx comp-lyx2lyx-to-276.lyx | diffstat
721 insertions(+), 208 deletions(-)
If no problems turn up with using version 276 after a week or so, I'll
go through and convert all the remaining files so that doc editors don't
have to worry about this little wrinkle. I'm not doing it now just
because I'm not 100% confident we won't run into problems that make it
easier to return to the old status quo.
Internally, the HTML documentation will still be built by converting to
the 1.3.6 format. It's probably a programmer-weekend to change
lyxtree.py to read format 276 file, but until I'm aware of problems
caused by this conversion, I intend to put it off.
