First, just a friendly reminder that alpha 3 is coming up really soon. If you need to change any copy, now would be a great time to release something because you'll get a lot of testing from people installing the iso :)
Speaking of ISOs, I am proposing a merge for this branch over here: https://code.launchpad.net/~dylanmccall/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/defaults-builder-support/+merge/116035 I'd just like to make sure it doesn't bother anyone before I merge. The merge request has an explanation of the changes. The quick explanation is this changes the build directory so we can have an "extra" directory, added by another package (such as ubuntu-defaults-it), with custom slides and screenshots. Nothing outside the slideshow itself (and, for that matter, slideshow.js) should need to be concerned about this, but I might be missing something. Some details: * directory.json and extra/directory.json are loaded using async ajax calls from slideshow.js. The slideshow does not appear until those are loaded. This shouldn't cause any problems, but it's worth noting extra/directory.json doesn't exist most of the time, so we pretty well expect a 404 error. It's a tad silly :) * For what it's worth, that can be solved if it ever becomes a problem. The slideshow can ship a default extra/directory.js and the defaults package just needs to do some of that fancy dpkg-divert stuff. * We know it's a problem if, at any point, ever, a user sees a blank page with an arrow (and nothing else) instead of a slideshow. * New hash parameter format: index.html#locale=it&rtl. (Instead of the previous weird index.html#?locale=it?rtl format). The slideshow supports both formats at this point. * I was originally planning a directory structure that mirrors /usr/share/help/, but that would have made it harder to quickly test the slideshow. So, slides, screenshots and icons not in the l10n directory are actually in the 'C' locale. The 'extra' directory _does_ use the format I wanted, so you can have extra/C and that will override files for the C locale. * At the moment, the src attribute for every single img tag in the slideshow is rewritten by slideshow.js with the assumption that it's pointing at a local path. It might be a good idea to only do that for images with class="translatable", but I really don't like the idea of changing every slide in every slideshow to have that. If any images are being broken, let me know and we can make that change. Okay, that's it! Have a nice weekend :) Dylan _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubiquity-slideshow Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubiquity-slideshow More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
