Re: doc-central
Dear Diane, > Pending a better repository my changes are currently at: > https://github.com/detrout/doc-central This is excellent news, thanks! BTW when doc-central was first orphaned, there was a little discussion about bringing it under the debian-doc umbrella (but there is no reason not to use d-python either given that discussion never came to anything concrete). There was also a desire to look at rarian integration for tools like yelp and khelpcenter for ease of document discovery. Hopefully some of the people who were interested back then will re-emerge to contribute, now that you've laid the ground work. (I hope to do so…) cheers Stuart -- Stuart Prescotthttp://www.nanonanonano.net/ stu...@nanonanonano.net Debian Developer http://www.debian.org/ stu...@debian.org GPG fingerprint90E2 D2C1 AD14 6A1B 7EBB 891D BBC1 7EBB 1396 F2F7

Hopefully some of the > people I explored a bit after you reminded me about rarian and yelp. It was never really obvious to me what rarian's purpose was doing from its freedesktop site. It basically finds doc-base registered and man pages? (Seems like the kind of thing that should have perl & python bindings ;) ) Also it looks like none of the Debian documentation tools know about how to read the GNOME documentation format? Being able to find all your documentation in one place would really be convenient. Diane

I don't think doc-base/doc-central will ever be the answer to this as it is very specific to Debian and thus not available on other distros. Eventually the Freedesktop folks will come up with something cross-distro and cross-desktop and we will have to replace doc-base with it, just like we had to do with the Debian-specific menu system. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
