Is's bout the complete account system 19:44:00 OK. I'll contact infra. 19:44:21 thanks! 19:44:40 next ticket 19:44:45 #action pboy will contact infra about the Fedora account documentation repo. 19:44:54 #link https://gitlab.com/fedora/docs/fedora-linux-documentation/fedora-linux-sysadmin-guide/-/issues/3 19:45:27 this one is about the sysadmin guide, we have a few others about it 19:45:57 Yes, #4 and #5 19:46:16 so I guess the first question is: what are our plans about the sysadmin guide? 19:46:40 I think, 4 alternatives : 19:46:50 1. Fix the issues, just in case we might take it over to a followup version either in tools-box or in QuickDocs 19:47:00 2. Don't touch the old Guide and thus discard the tickets 19:47:11 3. Start to transfer the affected parts to either a new tool-box guide 19:47:21 4. Just postpone the tickets until we launch one of the successors 19:47:31 I would like to avoid long list of unfinisched work in a repository we use for daily work. 19:47:39 But I would like not to waste any community effort. 19:47:55 A bit of a quandry 19:49:36 I think I prefer 3. We salvage any useful articles from this guide (if any) for our new tool-box guide 19:50:38 Thats not a really quick solution :-) 19:51:23 if the ticket is about a minor fix, then we can just fix it and keep the page for the new guide, and if it's something major (like if the article obsolete) we ditch it and use either something from quick-docs or start something from scratch 19:51:54 Probably a combination of 3 and 4? Mark it as postponed with the goal to transfer it to a successor? 19:52:41 works for me 19:52:50 What is new tool-box guide? 19:52:58 darknao: 2 are quick fix I thine. If we can easily remove the index line. 19:53:55 hankuoffroad[m] That refers to the tools box at the docs home page. There we announce new or renewed admin tools guides. 19:54:02 in this very specific case, the ntpd page is outdated, and the prefered way is to use chronyd anyway, so I'd say we ditch this one 19:54:14 #link https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/tools/ 19:56:19 OK. dirch #3, fix #5, postpone #4 ? 19:57:28 ok so we are moving to the two other then 19:57:35 #link https://gitlab.com/fedora/docs/fedora-linux-documentation/fedora-linux-sysadmin-guide/-/issues/4 19:58:03 No so quick, who does the work on that 3? 19:59:04 #4 is is more complex. At least not an easy fix. 19:59:30 therefore: postpone and a link to the QuickDoc article? 20:00:24 unless someone here want to work on #3, we can leave a comment saying that we are going to delete the page, and if someone has the time, they can work on that? 20:01:39 darknao agreed, a kind of proviso. 20:02:11 about #4, which is about Grub2, you mentioned we have an updated guide on quick docs? 20:02:34 Yes, kind of. 20:02:52 can we use the one from quick docs as a replacement? 20:03:03 and remove this one? 20:03:21 Hey are too different. 20:03:30 I'm just looking for the link 20:03:53 https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/bootloading-with-grub2/ ? 20:03:53 https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/bootloading-with-grub2/ 20:04:14 Yes, and Antnony is working on it. 20:05:02 I've only edited 2 of the sections. There's 9 left, including the one I am working on this week. There's a fair bit of work in it. 20:05:19 Here's the system admin guide for grub: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/system-administrators-guide/kernel-module-driver-configuration/Working_with_the_GRUB_2_Boot_Loader/ 20:06:31 The sections I edited where related to recovering the bootloader using a Live USB and using the grub prompt. Both of those aren't in the System Admin Guide as far as I can tell. 20:06:55 s/where/were/ 20:07:15 is there any benefits to keep 2 separate pages about Grub here? 20:07:50 darknao In the long term we should integrate them. 20:08:23 The QuickDoc article is quite long, too. We might shift it to the admin tools box. 20:08:52 But that will take several months to implement. 20:08:58 so in the long term the one in quick docs will be the final version (then moved to the tool box) right? 20:09:32 darkno. I think so, maybe with some additional parts of the current admin guide page. 20:09:56 in that case, we don't fix the one in sysadmin guide, say that we are currently working on the new one in quick docs, and close the ticket 20:10:14 darknao agreed 20:10:21 +1 20:10:38 And we should add a note at the top of the admin aricle? 20:11:31 why not, with a link to the quick docs page? 20:11:48 Yes, let's do so. 20:12:23 alright 20:12:26 Similar provise at the first page of the admin guide. 20:13:04 we have 15 minutes left, should we leave it here for this topic and move to the Quick Docs update? 20:13:25 We may postpone quickdoc to next meeting 20:13:42 if that's ok for everyone 20:14:51 I take that as a yes 20:15:06 so we continue with the remaining tickets 20:15:23 #link https://gitlab.com/fedora/docs/fedora-linux-documentation/fedora-linux-sysadmin-guide/-/issues/5 20:15:43 ok so this one seems easy to me 20:16:11 Yes, if we can just remove the indexterm:[HTTP ... line 20:16:30 there is an indexterm attribute that has nothing to do here as it's not used by Antora system (I think that come from the previous documentation toolchain that we used) 20:16:56 so yeah, we just need to remove the line 20:17:11 agreed then 20:17:21 Who is doing what ? 20:17:38 regarding #3, #4, #5 20:18:40 OK it's about about content, so you can action me 20:18:45 :-) 20:20:19 I don't think we need to action anyone right now for those. We now know what are the plans, we can just write it in each ticket, and if someone want to work on it, they can just assign them the ticket 20:21:05 darknao we have to modify the text (adding a note, e.g.) and modify the ticket. 20:21:15 it's also an easy way for new contributors to get involved as most of those actions are easy to do 20:22:12 alright, let's do this now 20:22:17 darknao: sounds good 20:22:38 for #3, we said that we are going to remove the page, right? 20:23:10 yes 20:23:25 just remove from nav.adoc 20:24:04 I can do it. 20:24:11 +1 20:25:08 done 20:25:10 next 20:26:00 #4, add a note with a link to the quick doc article and a planned successor 20:26:03 #4: flag this page as obsolete with a link to the new one in quick docs, is that ok? 20:26:13 yes 20:29:21 then #5 20:29:33 remove the line 20:29:44 yes. 20:30:42 and done 20:31:46 good! 20:31:52 And time is up now. 20:32:08 yes, thanks everyone! 20:32:30 everyone have a nice day and see you all next week 20:32:40 b cheers 20:32:51 #endmeeting
