I am surprised the Ubuntu Manual team does not already have a way to generate packages of the manuals it creates. Packages are the obvious logically expected output of the manual production process! Is there some reason we can't do something like cd ~/Projects/ubuntu-manual-saucy make make package and have a script create the relevant packages for all currently supported languages of the Ubuntu Manual, automatically? Q1. Is this list of "currently supported languages or "currently finished translations" for each release of the Ubuntu Manual stored as a file within the bzr tree? Q2. Is everything needed to build the Dutch manual in the bzr tree, and tagged ready for release? Q3. Other than the PDF of the Manual, what files do we want added to the binary packages concerned? Q4. Can we automatically extract author and editor (and translator) names and contact information from the source files of the Ubuntu Manual, to create the debian/copyright file correctly? Let's get this done; waiting five months is too long!
