Other way around. It now works for Ubuntu Manual in either Lubuntu or Ubuntu. I only just created an (empty) bzr branch for the proposed lubuntu manual, so there is no script that sets things up for working that yet :) > I have a script (if you search the archives) that runs through the > entire process also. Interesting... why wasn't it promoted on the web pages of ubuntu- manual.org as the easy way to get started in the project?

Sure. But they are longer than I'd like, and use unpackaged software so users need to know and remember a "special" way to update that software, which in practice many will forget. I plan to test creation of each translated manual using the packaged texlive in Raring. If that works, I'll advocate strongly for the ubuntu- manual.org site being changed to document using those packages rather than the upstream unpackaged texlive.
