Hello, all. I wanted to thank everyone who's helped so far with reporting and fixing bugs in the manual. We really appreciate it!
Unfortunately, we've had a few new bugs slip in to the code in the process. So here's a quick guide on how to commit code for our manual: 1. We're commit our code against the lucid-e2 branch. To get a fresh copy of this branch, run: bzr branch lp:ubuntu-manual/lucid-e2 2. Once this branch is checked out, you can edit the .tex files located in the subdirectories (named after the chapters they contain). 3. After fixing the bug, run: make clean; make This will clear out the old temporary files and PDF and recreate them from scratch. This ensures that the manual can be compiled and that you haven't made any obvious typos in your LaTeX commands. Do not commit your code until you've ensured it compiles successfully. 3. After compiling the code successfully, *before* you commit, run: bzr pull 4. Double-check to make sure your bug is still properly fixed and that any changes that were just pulled in were merged properly. (If the changes only impacted files you haven't edited, they should be fine.) 5. Now you can commit your code. Run: bzr commit and enter the numbers of any bugs you fixed. 6. Finally, run: bzr push If you've never pushed code to this branch before, bzr will complain. You can run: bzr push lp:ubuntu-manual/lucid-e2 to satisfy it. From that point on, bzr will remember the location and you should be able to simply run 'bzr push'. 7. Run: bzr pull to grab the latest code and start again on the next bug. If you take too long between running 'bzr commit' and 'bzr push', you may find that someone else has pushed code to the branch. If this occurs, run: bzr uncommit to undo your commit. Your changes are still in the files, so nothing is lost. Then start at step 3 again. As always, if you have any questions, you can reply to this email or chat with us on IRC in #ubuntu-manual on Freenode. Thanks! --Kevin Godby _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
