I am trying to learn my way around GDP so that eventually I can make some useful contributions. While reading through the GDP Handbook at http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gdp/handbook/gdp-handbook/index.html I found information on using CVS to download the sources. I tried using cvs and I never got it to work. I don't think that GNOME is using CVS anymore but SVN. Fortunately, I found a web page in the GNOME Developers section (http://developer.gnome.org/tools/svn.html) that helped me download the documentation source files.
After going through this I thought it would be nice if I could update the GDP Handbook to reflect the transition from CVS to SVN so that someone doesn't have to go through the same thing I did. I downloaded the gdp-handbook folder to my computer and started updating it. I took the original section on CVS from the docsystem.xml file and revised it to discuss SVN instead. I tried to retain the original tone. In fact, I was able to leave a lot of words unchanged. There isn't that much difference between CVS and SVN. I used the SVN page from the GNOME Developers website as a guide. I created bug 533750 and uploaded a patch with my suggested changes. I hope someone can look at this and tell me what changes are needed to make it good for incorporating. jacob _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
