2022-06-07 16:00:38 <yjftsjthsd> Is it possible to get the handbook in a local, preferably text-based, format? It might not quite fit into manpages, but it'd be nice to have it in /usr/share/doc, and I'm not sufficiently familiar with Antora to know whether it can output to something that's not HTML
2022-06-07 16:01:24 <ikke> The source is here: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/docs/user-handbook
2022-06-07 16:02:02 <ikke> It's markdown-like
2022-06-07 16:03:06 <ikke> Though, you need to navigate through all the sections
2022-06-07 16:05:15 <yjftsjthsd> Yeah, the layout is why I don't think it could even be converted into manpages as an output format
2022-06-07 16:06:28 <yjftsjthsd> oh, yes that is quite readable raw; I could just git clone that to /usr/share/doc/handbook and be okay
2022-06-07 16:06:30 <yjftsjthsd> thanks
2022-06-07 19:22:25 <begs> <yjftsjthsd> "Yeah, the layout is why I don'..." <- Asciidoc may be concerted to manpages in fact
2022-06-08 02:41:44 <dennisc> Would this channel be appropriate for discussing wiki.alpinelinux.org?
2022-06-08 02:42:20 <dennisc> If so, a couple of problems with the wiki (one of which I intend to edit on my own, the other which probably needs more discussion)
2022-06-08 02:42:54 <dennisc> 1. https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Rclone incorrectly claims that rclone can't be installed in Alpine, this is not true anymore:
2022-06-08 02:43:06 <dennisc> apk search rclone
2022-06-08 02:45:12 <dennisc> 2. Re rclone, it's fairly easy to use Dropbox proper. I find it strange that https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Tutorials_and_Howtos lists several alternatives to Dropbox in "Desktop Environment" but not Dropbox proper, which works with rclone.
2022-06-08 02:46:52 <dennisc> Given this, I wonder whether it is worth adding a page on Dropbox (using a Flatpak has been really unreliable, so I don't think that route is particularly worth mentioning), and whether it should be added to the Tutorials and Howtos page.
2022-06-08 02:49:35 <dennisc> Actually, re 1: I wonder whether the rclone page even provides value anymore, since you can install it via apk and read the manpages yourself.
2022-06-14 08:26:03 <eddsalkield> yeah I think this is the right place to discuss the wiki - sorry for the long response time!
2022-06-14 08:26:44 <eddsalkield> The page on rclone doesn't really seem to add value any more, I'd suggest that it get deleted
2022-06-14 08:28:32 <eddsalkield> dropbox's client is presumable proprietary and requires a flatpak to work, so it would seem strange to suggest that people use it
2022-06-14 08:28:40 <eddsalkield> ah, it appears that dennisc has left
2022-06-14 09:03:03 <SpaceToast> eddsalkield: it’s not
2022-06-17 18:37:41 <eddsalkield> SpaceToast: ah sorry, where would be more appropriate?
2022-06-17 18:37:52 <SpaceToast> eddsalkield: just editing the wiki
2022-06-17 18:37:58 <SpaceToast> this is for docs.alpinelinux.org in particular
2022-06-17 18:38:55 <eddsalkield> got it, thanks
2022-06-17 20:37:49 <panekj> eddsalkield: wiki has built-in conversations about articles
2022-06-20 17:39:36 <ikke> I think SpaceToast mentioned this in recent MRs: https://sive.rs/1s
2022-06-20 17:40:20 <ikke> (this concept)
