Hi Kevin et al,
thanks for checking in. KyleN has been doing some amazing work on the
doctemplate tool and I've started uploading the converted branches into the
project workspace. We've broken out each chapter into its own branch and that
should make it easier going forward for any contributors to only have to pull
the section they are working on. The new toolchain/workflow now looks like this:
* Install the doctemplate project PPA: sudo apt-add-repository
ppa:doctemplate-team/ppa
* Update your apt-cache: sudo apt-get update
* install doctemplate: sudo apt-get install doctemplate
This is all that is needed to run the build commands using doctemplate. All
commands start with "doctemplate_" and a tab shows all the available commands.
If you or anyone wants to start playing with the new branches simply pull down
the section you want to work on - I recommend:
lp:~ubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/credits
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/credits>
as a simple section to get familiar with docbook and doctemplate. I'll also
write up more detailed instructions on the wiki for doctemplate.
Keep in mind that we are only using a very small subset of docbook tags in
order to minimize conflicts so please don't add any new tags without first
checking with KyleN.
I should have the remaining sections up soon but I invite you to go ahead and
start reviewing the new branches that I've uploaded:
lp:~ubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/quickly
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/quickly>
lp:~ubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/glade
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/glade>
lp:~ubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/distribution
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/distribution>
lp:~ubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/bazaar
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/bazaar>
lp:~ubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/launchpad
<https://code.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-developer-manual/ubuntu-developer-manual/launchpad>
If you run into any problems just ping me in the quickly channel or if you
think it's a doctemplate issue let KyleN know asap.
thanks!

Hello.
I haven't heard from anyone for a while and wondered whether anyone
has sorted out the new toolchain yet.
Thanks!
