| [00:59] <mhall119> jo-erlend: still about? | |
| [00:59] <jo-erlend> mhall119, strangely enough :) | |
| [01:00] <mhall119> jo-erlend: http://www.kryogenix.org/days/2011/01/16/working-with-the-ubuntu-messaging-menu has some python examples for setting an item with a count in the message menu | |
| [01:00] <mhall119> I'm not sure if it's still accurate or not | |
| [01:00] <mhall119> (this is one of the things I've been working to discover) | |
| [01:01] <jo-erlend> mhall119, ah. Interesting. Thanks… | |

| [08:22] <dpm> good morning all | |
| [08:58] <jalcine> Anyone here fancy Docbook? | |
| [08:58] <jalcine> If so, is it recommended for package documentation of apps? | |
| [09:00] * ajmitch hasn't really had the joy of using it | |
| [09:00] <jalcine> KDE uses it in conjunction with KHelpCenter to generate documentation; works like a charm. | |
| [09:00] <jalcine> But I was wondering how I could do the same for GNOME Help Center. | |
| [09:05] <jalcine> Wow, think I figured it out. | |
| [09:05] <jalcine> Going to write a blog-post about it because that was NOT easy. | |
| [09:06] <jalcine> However, the need to provide documentation with an application can prove that your program's not intuitive enough that user X can look at it and figure out how to use it. | |
| [09:08] <jalcine> Hm, okay, got a variable (X-GNOME-DocPath) | |
| [09:08] <jalcine> Now to expand that on a KDE system, lol. | |
| [09:09] <jalcine> Oh wait, that just goes into the desktop file. | |
| [09:09] <jalcine> Sweet. | |
| [09:10] <jalcine> Drat, I don't know if it should be a full path or relative path, and if the latter to where... | |
| [09:13] <dpm> jalcine, if your app is GTK-based, the recommended format for documentation is Mallard | |
| [09:13] <dpm> you can see how it works creating a quickly test project: | |
| [09:13] * dpm runs it | |
| [09:15] <dpm> argh, quickly throws an error | |
| [09:15] <dpm> filing a bug... | |
| [09:16] <jalcine> I'll look into that. | |
| [09:16] <dpm> try running 'quickly create ubuntu-application testdoc' | |
| [09:19] <jalcine> Gotta pull in quickly, hold on. | |
| [09:20] <jalcine> http://playingwithsid.blogspot.com/2009/10/getting-started-with-mallard-help.html << makes it look quite easy. | |
| [09:21] <jalcine> Got an error saying there's no 'create' command | |
| [09:24] <jalcine> I'm confused :$ | |
| [09:24] <jalcine> Lol, wow, I forgot to install quickly-ubuntu-template. | |
| [12:06] <jalcine> Hmm, I'm debating whether or not if I should have a debdiff to my package to make tests run after build-time of the core app. | |
