I am t3h master of the handbooks. They're basically done, unless I actually hear from arch teams that changes are needed. I've been working my keister off; I think I racked up >100 commits for these things. Part of that was to make future updates easier, as I added conditional evaluations to all the handbooks. This lets an editor make a single small change to the ToC for some $arch handbook (say, to use a new kernel version), and those changes will be propagated to every chapter of that arch HB. Lots of XML and now used for all arches. Also, I'm looking into redoing how the handbooks are done in the first place; right now, we have vast amounts of shared content that are identical between arches, but are still repeated in each hb-install-$arch-bootloader.xml file, for example. The existing setup: within those pages, we can display extra content (or avoid displaying content) just by doing an XML test to see which handbook you are viewing (i.e. if you view Sparc, you won't see the x86 partitioning scheme). I sent a proposal to the gentoo-doc list about turning that on its head, and instead using several more separate files that include that shared content, so that we can cut down the duplications in the $arch-foo.xml files through the use of s that would pull in that shared content. End result is that you'd end up with a very trimmed down file that only includes extra content relevant to that arch, with GuideXML mojo to yank in the non-arch-specific content. Nifty, eh? --------------enig066E911EDD6AAC8EB1C6CDE0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGGRZY5aFMlhMsVyURAgbrAKClUlqO0TqbHg6OHW5escT/3AzXeACghF73 PWR5+ci3fFuW2iuzi7hnXlY= =EUGp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig066E911EDD6AAC8EB1C6CDE0-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
