Do you need the texlive package or texlive-full? I installed texlive and ran make and got this: [CODE] benja...@benjamin-laptop:~/Manual/ubuntu-manual$ make NOTE: You may ignore warnings about the following files: main.d Makefile:1838: main.d: No such file or directory = main.tex --> main.

Joe, I do agree that it would be better if the translations started from alpha onwards - that way at least all the main content should be fully edited and we won't be changing niggly things. But I don't want to turn away the two people who have offered their help - surely there must be something

2010-01-04 Thread Benjamin Humphrey
Hi, Yes it's something like what you've described. LaTeX is way of storing and writing documents that keeps the bzr merging working properly. It's an alternative to just using plain text, as it provides a lot more options and formatting. What you're referring to "back in the day" is probably Laun

I don't think they're planning on replacing Synaptic with the Software Center by 10.04 - that's further down the track. Yes the target audience is primarily GUI oriented. On 1/5/10, ALISTAIR MUNRO wrote: > In my draft, I'm only going to write a guide for software center. By 10.04, > all the func

2010-01-04 Thread RJ Quirarte
Thanks for the information and time guys, let me see if I am getting this right, if latex is mainly for the final product (honestly I do not know what exactly latex does) then this is what we ("we" as in me and whoever is translating) can leave for when the main work is done, in the mean time proba

Re: [Ubuntu-manual] Hi

2010-01-04 Thread Joe Burgess
This is an interesting issue, There is not built in way to do translations at all in latex, so we will have to figure that out. I will look into it, but it might require that we just have separate branches for diff languages. I am not familiar enough with bzr to figure out if there is a way to bra

In my draft, I'm only going to write a guide for software center. By 10.04, all the functions of Synaptic should be included in Software center (am I right about this?). I'll mention Apt-get and the Command line, but only for the sake of completeness. I assume our target audience is primarily G

Hi Anwar, At the moment we haven't actually set up translation support with LaTeX and Launchpad Rosetta - but this is a top priority and we should have this up and running hopefully before the end of this week. In the mean time, perhaps you could get the current branch revision and start translat

Hi RJ, I'm sure someone can help you out - I don't know anything about Rosetta and Translations and how they work with LaTeX. Could someone help him out? Also, RJ, might pay to join #ubuntu-manual on irc.freenode.net :) As for the suggestions on the english text version, easiest way is just to
