Ubuntu Server Guide - Ubuntu 14.04
The guide is published for LTS releases only. Unofficial guides of the current branch will occasionally be made available online. All development and management procedures will remain on the traditional/stable 6-month cycle. Focus/branch of development will change on the prerogative of the committers.
Contributors must use the latest Ubuntu 14.04 release to exercise their additions/fixes to the guide.
If you really want to add something only found in a newer release please go ahead but make this clear in your merge proposal comments. Your changes will be included in the next LTS release (or in an unofficial snapshot).
The Ubuntu Server Guide project is part of System Documentation and, as such, everything that has been written on that topic applies equally here. Follow the above links to understand the process of contributing to Ubuntu System Documentation.
The purpose of this page is to organize contributions made to the Server Guide for the upcoming Ubuntu release. It is also cool to see what other people are up to. Subscribe to this page!
In addition to this focus wiki page, there is a focus Launchpad team replete with a mailing list. If you are committed to the improvement of the Guide please do become a member of the Ubuntu Server Guide Helpers team!
Here are ways to contribute, in order of priority:
Correct (and/or Triage) a filed bug. Ubuntu Server Guide Bugs
Extend by adding a significant amount of new information (possibly new sub-chapter or an entirely new chapter). Let me know of your intentions.
Propose ideas for improvement (new topics, re-organization). There is a Discussion section at the bottom.
Useful links:
Current release guide: Ubuntu Server Guide - 14.04
Last release version of this document: SaucyUbuntuServerGuide
Kickstart
Here are some sample core commands for someone (local user john with a Launchpad id of johnlpid) wishing to review sub-chapter 7.1 (OpenLDAP section under Network Authentication chapter) for Ubuntu 14.04. Read up on what they do; it's all explained in the links at the top of the page.
Change text in the below commands to fit your own situation (ex: do not paste in 7.1 if you're not reviewing 7.1).
0. Install the software
sudo apt-get install bzr docbook docbook-xsl xsltproc libxml2-utils yelp-tools yelp-xsl fop gnome-doc-utils make gettext
1. Download the current branch
mkdir ~/sguide-1404 cd ~/sguide-1404 bzr branch lp:serverguide serverguide-review-7.1 cd serverguide-review-7.1 scripts/validate.sh serverguide/C/serverguide.xml { STOP if the above does not validate (some warnings may be benign); bring this up in the ubuntu-doc mailing list or try to correct the errors yourself }
2. Review and edit the material (a little bit at a time)
vi serverguide/C/network-auth.xml make serverguide-html
3. View and verify the changes in your browser
firefox build/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html
Repeat steps #2 and #3 until crispy.
4. Send the modified repository to your Launchpad account
scripts/validate.sh serverguide/C/serverguide.xml { STOP if the above does not validate (some warnings may be benign); correct the errors } bzr commit -m 'Reviewing sub-chapter 7.1; other notes can go here' bzr push lp:~johnlpid/serverguide/serverguide-review-7.1
Variations for the commit lines include specifying the related launchpad bug report, if one exists:
bzr commit --fixes lp:<bug-#> -m 'Reviewing sub-chapter 7.1; other notes can go here'
And specifying multiple bug reports, if appropriate:
bzr commit --fixes lp:<bug-#> --fixes lp:<bug-#> --fixes lp:<bug-#> -m 'Reviewing 7.1; notes can go here'
5. Submit a proposal to merge the modifications with the main branch
Enter the Code section of your Launchpad account, select the appropriate branch, and submit a merge proposal ("Propose for merging").
Alternative help method
Although the above is the preferred method for contributing, if you find it too laborious or you just can't make it work an alternative route is to create a bug about what you think is wrong in the guide and include some replacement text. Of course, if you are working already from an existing bug then just add the text in a new bug comment. If you have multiple bugs that affect the same sub-chapter then create a single bug for all of them.
