[12:45:03] <seb_kuzminsky> ok folks, i think i'm ready to switch to docs on www.linuxcnc.org over to the ones that the buildbot makes
[12:46:05] <cradek> yay
[12:46:34] <seb_kuzminsky> basically i want to make it so that when you go to http://www.linuxcnc.org/docs/, it looks like http://www.linuxcnc.org/stage-docs/ instead
[12:46:46] <seb_kuzminsky> all the 'older versions' should be identical
[12:47:00] <seb_kuzminsky> the 2.5 and devel should contain the latest new docs from the buildbot
[12:48:08] <seb_kuzminsky> i fixed some minor broken links & markup problems with the top two levels of index.html files (which are *not* made from sources in our git)
[12:48:52] <skunkworks> Yay!
[12:51:19] <seb_kuzminsky> i also fixed the links (in 2.5 and master) to the HAL manual, they used to point to the old name for the document (from may 2013), they now point to the new name for the document
[12:51:29] <seb_kuzminsky> and i added our logo to the docs front page ;-)
[12:51:41] <seb_kuzminsky> i spot checked and didnt see any problems
[12:52:03] <seb_kuzminsky> i ran the w3c linkchecker and found too many problems to fix right away, but they're all in our old docs too i think :-/
[12:53:10] <seb_kuzminsky> http://highlab.com/~seb/linuxcnc/checklink-docs/
[12:53:40] <seb_kuzminsky> i guess i'll announce this on emc-developers and cut over in a day or two if there's no complaints
[12:56:18] <cradek> hm, lots of broken links to external sites
[12:56:32] <cradek> I didn't realize we had those in the docs
[12:56:40] <cradek> thanks for doing this work - it'll sure be nice.
[12:57:46] <seb_kuzminsky> also some internal fragment anchors missing
[12:58:07] <cradek> my spot check (probably with less coverage than yours) also came out fine
[12:58:43] <seb_kuzminsky> maybe i should just do the switch-over and announce it on emc-users and ask people to point out problems, rather than doing that other thing i said
[13:16:20] <cradek> yes I bet so
[13:46:53] <seb_kuzminsky> i moved the docs symlink to point to the buildbot docs, but when i fetch it i get the old one still
[13:47:00] <seb_kuzminsky> is it being cached somewhere?
[14:13:14] <seb_kuzminsky> where are our webserver logs?
[14:13:58] <seb_kuzminsky> ah, they're linked from the homedir
[14:16:52] <seb_kuzminsky> ok, there's a symlink called docs in the homedir (not in the webserver root) that's the one that matters...
[14:24:09] <seb_kuzminsky> looks like there's a rewrite rule somewhere that redirects /docs/
[14:57:44] <seb_kuzminsky> ugh, it
[14:58:02] <seb_kuzminsky> it's got something to do with the docview thing we have on the front page
[14:58:10] <seb_kuzminsky> i dont know how to joomla
[14:59:55] <seb_kuzminsky> i guess i could just change the $HOME/docs symlink, but i dont know what the effects would be
[15:00:14] <seb_kuzminsky> requesting help here...
[15:32:20] <seb_kuzminsky> linuxcnc-build: force build --branch=v2.5_branch docs
[15:32:21] <linuxcnc-build> build #1118 forced
[15:32:22] <linuxcnc-build> I'll give a shout when the build finishes
[15:41:57] <seb_kuzminsky> hey andy
[15:46:17] <andypugh> Hi
[15:46:24] <andypugh> Just about to edit the docs
[15:55:17] <linuxcnc-build> Hey! build docs #1118 is complete: Warnings [8warnings compile]
[15:55:17] <linuxcnc-build> Build details are at http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/buildbot/builders/docs/builds/1118
[16:03:05] <andypugh> This feels like a stupid question, but if I edit the asciisoc, where do I look to see what the effect was?
[16:36:09] <seb_kuzminsky> andypugh: two ways
[16:36:27] <seb_kuzminsky> you can run 'make docs' and look at the html & pdf outputs
[16:37:07] <andypugh> That was the part I was missing, I guess. I have never worried about whether the docs were being built or not.
[16:37:17] <seb_kuzminsky> or you can push to the buildbot and look in http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/doc/
[16:38:08] <seb_kuzminsky> oh wait no, i just turned that off, it's on www.linuxcnc.org now, but it's in /stage-docs instead of /docs
[16:38:22] <seb_kuzminsky> due to my inability to figure out the webserver config :-/
[16:41:30] <andypugh> I am building it locally first for the practice
[16:42:15] <seb_kuzminsky> make sure you have all the build-deps installed, the docs need some things that the code doesnt
[16:42:44] <seb_kuzminsky> cd debian; ./configure -a || ./configure sim; cd ..; dpkg-checkbuilddeps
[16:46:43] <andypugh> It looks promising so far
[16:47:18] <seb_kuzminsky> cradek pointed out that one great thing about asciidoc is that the patches are totally human-readable
[16:50:16] <seb_kuzminsky> los colorados
[16:50:44] <seb_kuzminsky> ftw, just sayin
[16:51:03] <seb_kuzminsky> this shall be my hacking session soundtrack for tonight
[17:20:20] <seb_kuzminsky> hi micges
[17:20:36] <micges> hi seb_kuzminsky
[17:21:20] <micges> seb_kuzminsky: what's up?
[17:25:38] <jepler> seb_kuzm1nsky: i forget how it goes together. try changing the symlink.
[17:26:10] <seb_kuzm1nsky> the one in the home dir?
[17:26:38] <seb_kuzm1nsky> micges: i realized the git repo i sent you had a broken clone url, but it should work now (i fixed it)
[17:27:06] <micges> ok
[17:27:53] <seb_kuzm1nsky> jepler: moved it, and now it loads the new one, thanks
[17:59:42] <KGB-linuxcnc> 03andy 05master 983c7e1 06linuxcnc 10docs/src/gcode/gcode.txt * Make the G85 docs match the new behaviour.
[18:00:47] <andypugh> As for the behaviour when changing plane mid-cycle, I think we would need to decide what was meant to happen first, before trying to fix it.
[18:12:52] <micges> seb_kuzminsky: andypugh: mesaflash discover sserial remotes boards now, not far from flashing them
[18:13:45] <andypugh> Is that necessary? It can already be done with setsserial?
[18:14:00] <micges> what about windows?
[18:14:35] <andypugh> They don't deserve to be able to.
[18:14:46] <micges> haha
[18:14:48] <andypugh> (I thought Mesaflash was a Linux utilty)
[18:18:26] <micges> andypugh: and I finally fully understand sserial, it's important for hm2_eth work
[18:18:34] <andypugh> Anyway, stupidly early start tomorrow, 0430.
[18:19:17] <andypugh> I should have gone to bed earler than this, really
[22:07:08] <KGB-linuxcnc> 03chris 05master 90d2ea4 06linuxcnc 10docs/src/gcode/gcode.txt * fix two unclear or mistaken then/than
