It may be difficult for users arriving at docs.fp.o to know where to start, especially if they are new to Fedora/Linux and are unfamiliar with some of the technical terms. A note on the landing page suggesting a sensible starting point for new users could help alleviate this problem. Eg: "New to Fedora? You can try Fedora on your PC without touching your existing installation by following the Live Image Guide." The end of the Live Image guide helpfully points users to the Installation guide if they want to install :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

I have found (see reference) that restore the root ("/") is not as simple as as just executing the restore command when running in rescue mode. With the current emphasis being place on use of UUIDs in both Fedora and RHEL, the whole business of UUIDs need to be better documented.

[Bug 595695] New: Direct links to RNs broken.

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. Summary: Direct links to RNs broken. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=595695 Summary: Direct links to RNs broken. Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: docs-requests AssignedTo: eric(a)christensenplace.us ReportedBy: eric(a)christensenplace.us QAContact: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com CC: stickster(a)gmail.com, kwade(a)redhat.com Classification: Fedora Description of problem: * Previously, the release notes were located at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ * Their location has changed to release specific URLs. * A link to the release notes is provided in fedora-bookmarks. * fedora-bookmarks are imported by the browser only on *first launch* so as to not overwrite user modifications. The new bookmarks layout causes two problems: 1. Nobody filed a fedora-bookmarks bug so Fedora 13 (and anyone on F-11 or F-12 etc) will default to going to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ which is a 404. Since the bookmarks can only be imported on first launch, we cannot push an update to fix this if the user has launched the browser (which is extremely likely). 2. Even if I were to fix the bookmarks page to point directly to a specific release version (which again would take effect only if someone would yum update before launching Firefox), then if anyone updated to F-14, the bookmark would not change and would still point to e.g. F-13. So, I do not think that we should put version specific information into our bookmarks URLs. To solve both of the above problems, I believe we should try to do some User-Agent detection and redirection. Fedora browsers have an RPM NVR attached to them. For example: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; es-ES; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100517 Fedora/3.6.4-1.fc13 Firefox/3.6.4 This tells us that the user's installed language is es-ES and it's a Fedora browser, specifically running F-13. We should then redirect queries to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/es-ES/Fedora/13/html/Release_Notes/index.html If we cannot figure any information out about the Fedora release or language (or there are no relnotes in that language), I propose the default redirect should be to the en-US version of the latest Fedora release notes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

Tx duplicate teams removal
by Misha Shnurapet 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Hi! The docs translation period starts in two months, it would be nice for the l10n teams with duplicate language resources on Transifex to have their resources justified. >From what requires action, the duplicate resources named as regional codes (like ru_RU or es_ES) hold our previous work. While the resources named as language identifiers (like ru or es) are out of sync or contain empty translations. It means that the project translators would lose progress if the project maintainers kill the duplicates now. The progressed modules need to be merged in the right place, where these would be available to the teams members afterwards. This is to be done by the l10n coordinators. There's also a deadline to be set so we don't make the cleanup an endless process. August 15th, 2011, seems to be enough, in case someone's on vacation. That's 2 weeks before the docs translation period starts and about 1.5 month from now. Then we may ask the project maintainers to run a script to remove all those language resources. If the Transifex stats [2] don't lie, the following teams are to be REMOVED: as_IN bg_BG bn_IN bs_BA ca_ES cz_CZ da_DK de_DE el_GR fa_IR fi_FI fr_FR gu_IN he_IL hi_IN hr_HR hu_HU id_ID is_IS it_IT jp_JP kn_IN ko_KR lt_LT lv_LV ml_IN ms_MY nb_NO nl_NL or_IN pa_IN pl_PL ru_RU sr_RS sr_RS@latin sk_SK sv_SE ta_IN te_IN uk_UA vi_VN The following team is to be LEFT INTACT: zh_CN (as opposed to zh_TW and zh_HK) The merging task can be accomplished by using the Transifex-client tool available in Fedora repository. You will need the language remapping capability introduced in version 0.5.2, which is currently in the testing repo. To use now, run: su -c "yum install transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing" or update using the testing repo: su -c "yum update transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing" Please give the package transifex-client-0.5.2-1.fc15.noarch [1] good karma so it would land in the stable repo soon. The procedure has been summarized before [3], there's also a complete manual to the tool [4]. It took me less time because I only downloaded one language I wanted. For instance, to update the Virtualization Guide I did: 1. configure the tool to use the chosen resource: a. create a folder, say, "transifex" in the home dir and cd into it b. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx init c. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx set --auto-remote https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora-virtualization-guide/ 2. pull the "ru_RU" translation modules: a. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx pull -l ru_RU 3. use language remapping to push the modules as "ru": a. remap the language by adding the line "lang_map = ru:ru_RU" to the main section of ~/transifex/.tx/config [5] b. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx push --translations -l ru 4. delete the local files You may be able to do the whole docs collection at once using $ tx set --auto-remote https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora/r/fedora-15-docs/ as soon as the corresponding ticket [6] is closed.
