Hi,
On the package doc-linux-fr-html, I plan to use a .menu file to
register all the howto include in the package. (note that doc-linux is
already using this system)
Evenif, a menu section for HOWTO doesn't exist, I believe that
using a such section could be a gook trick at least till #114692 get fix.
I am wondering on how dwww will deal with i18n menus. for
instance I have :
* Apps ...
o Editors
o Emacs
o Graphics
o Mail
o Math
o Net
o Programming
o Sound
o System
o Text
o Tools
o Viewers
* Debian
* Devel
* FAQ
* HOWTO
* Manpages
* Text
* Web ...
o W3c
* XShells
I Plan to insert my French HOWTOs under HOWTO, but I don't really
like this.
Imagine a menu file in Chinese, In which section the docs should
go in? (Chinese adds a problem of charset that we do not have in French)
In fact I don't know if I should file a bug against dwww to have
different menu according the language. I would like to see:
* Fr
Application
°Editeur
°Courriel
[...]
* En
Apps
°Editor
* De
[...]
On the second hand it could be intersting to have a section per
lang inside menus, at least for the documentation, so that people would
be able to read documentation in the language they wish.
Let's take the example of FAQs. A lot of countries have their
own LUGs. In France, our local usenet fans wrote the 'fcol FAQ'
(fr.comp.os.linux.* FAQ). To register this document with doc-base, i
use:
Document: fcol-faq
Title: FAQ fr.comp.os.linux.*
Author: <faq-fcol@linux-france.org>
Abstract: Ce document est avant tout destiné à compléter les moyens
classiques
d'accès à l'information et aux documents
Section: FAQ
Format: HTML
Index: /usr/share/doc/LANG/fr/linux/fcol-faq/fcol-faq.html
Files: /usr/share/doc/LANG/fr/linux/fcol-faq/*.html
Don't you think that it is better to add a such doc under
fr/FAQ since it's a French document written by French users for a French
public? To my mind this document has nothing to do under the Section:
FAQ.
If I send you this email, it's because I would really really
like to know how to deal with this issue. Do you have any idea on the
way do make things as clean as possible?
Thanks in advance,
