Hey all, Here's a thread from the ubuntu-doc list about the ubuntu-serverguide package. The suggestion is to drop the package for the reasons given below.
I would like to solicit any feedback the Server Team has about the proposal. From the UDS-M discussion and IRC meetings the current consensus is to go ahead and drop the package, but if someone has a reason to keep it I'd like to give them a chance to be heard. If we drop the ubuntu-serverguide package the Ubuntu Server Guide will still be available in HTML and PDF format... just to clarify that we're not doing away with the Server Guide. Thanks all. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthew East <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 5:00 PM Subject: Re: Server Guide HTML To: Adam Sommer <[email protected]> Cc: ubuntu-doc <[email protected]> Hi Adam, On Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 12:26 PM, Adam Sommer <[email protected]> wrote: > On the HTML note, at > the last UDS we discussed dropping the ubuntu-serverguide package, and just > keeping the HTML, PDF, and DocBook files up to date. I don't really have a problem with this - I think that it should be for the server team to decide what they would like to do about things like this, and if the server team would like to drop the package, that's no problem. It's important to me that the guide continues to follow the same string freeze rules, to allow translators to have an opportunity to ensure that the localisations of the guide are as up to date as the English version, but you've indicated in your email that this is the plan, so I'm happy. If the serverguide html is no longer shipped in the desktop help system, I wonder whether we should also have a conversation about whether the advanced-topics document is still helpful. It provides links to topics which desktop users probably won't use and may be surplus to requirements. The one document that might conceivably still be useful is the basic-commands document, but I personally think that this document doesn't have too much relevance for a desktop help system nowadays. What do others think? -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- Party On, Adam
