There seem to be a missing argument to ceph osd lost (also in help for the
command).
http://ceph.com/docs/master/rados/operations/control/#osd-subsystem
src/tools/ceph.cc
src/test/cli/ceph/help.t
doc/rados/operations/control.rst
The documentation for development release packages is slightly confused.
Should it not refer to http://ceph.com/rpm-testing for development release
packages? (Also, the ceph-release package in the development release does
not refer to itself (in /etc/yum.repos.d/ceph.repo) but to
(http://ceph.com/rpms) packages.)
http://ceph.com/docs/master/install/rpm/
Do you want patches?

Indeed, it seems to be missing the id. The CLI is getting a big rework
right now, but the docs should be corrected. Patch or file an issue,
either way.

So I have committed some files into the repository. I haven't written rules to

As we discussed, this is possible (and reasonable), until it is published as a
printed version, or the manual is kept small enough.

I would be more comfortable if you could you publish somewhere a
re-licensed version of the manual, so I can work on it.

That is great news. If it is with no front/back cover texts either, I'll be
able to include that in Debian!

Why not? What we should do is to relicense the GRUB manual under GFDL with no
Invariant Sections, and exchange the content. I already have an agreement
with the FSF to change the license term to GFDL, so there is no problem.

I've received my FSF copyright assignments this morning. I'll post it tomorrow !
Currently I can't merge my work in a grub-v1 manual, as you explained.
What shall we do ?
As an alternative, we could go for a lighter grub documentation, and keep
the rest on the wiki http://grub.enbug.org/

Hi,
Have you made progress regarding the re-licensing of the current grub
manual under GFDL ? (with no cover text and no invariant ?)

We can continue to work together in documentation untill that happens. When it
happens, I'll have to remove the docs in Debian, and will only add them back if
someone forks the documentation (I don't have the motivation to do this myself,
but maybe someone else will). This doesn't preclude that someone else adds them
to the non-free repository, but again I don't have the motivation to do this
myself.
Please note that I don't necessarily agree with this policy; in fact I think
both sides have been overzealous on this, but it is nevertheless the policy that
I have to abide to.
If you think we can avoid this situation by providing documentation as part
of a non-GNU package (e.g. grub-doc), or just put it in the wiki, I'd welcome
that.

The GRUB manual is licensed under the traditional "as-is" term. It was only
because GFDL hadn't been born yet when I wrote the manual, and I stopped
working on GRUB Legacy when the FSF urged me to change the license.
As the manual is not so long, and the FSF hasn't published a paper version, we
can omit Invariant Sections. However, we must change the license to GFDL in
GRUB 2, anyway. You can see more info here:

If the FSF wants to print it out, I will not hesitate to add Invariant
Sections. Actually, there was a chance that a printed version would be
published, but it was not done, because I pointed out that it had some
incomplete chapters, so not tolerable for the payment, and I didn't make
effort on finishing them.

If the manual from GRUB Legacy (or a derived version under the same license) is
in GFDL with invariant sections or front/back cover texts, I won't be able to
add this in the Debian package.
Is there a way we can get around this? GFDL is fine as far as Debian is
concerned, only invariant sections and front/back cover texts are a problem.

Thank you very much.

I (or maybe Marco as well?) can set up an ACL, if you wish.

Docbook is acceptable. In fact, it is used in some projects in GNU (such as
GNOME, IIRC).
But I think the problem is mostly the reusability. I believe that we can reuse
several parts of the GRUB manual (for GRUB Legacy) as they are, and this is
in texinfo format.

It looks big, only because the texinfo manual contains a lot of examples. In
reality, much smaller than the Docbook spec. And, you know, HTML does not
specify printing.
Anyway, the best way of using texinfo is to start from examples. In our case,
you can copy the manual from GRUB Legacy, and tweak it. FYI, Emacs supports
texinfo very well.

Hello,
After some thoughts, I'll release the documentation[1] I wrote, with
copyright assignments to FSF, Dual licensed under GPL+GFDL.
I wish I could have left it on a Wiki, then do docbook/xml export, then
converting it to info+manpages...
* But I guess it won't be possible if we need copyright assignments
from contributors (although I think it might be possible to make some
group based ACLs in Moinmoin wiki).
* What do you think about maintaining the documentation in docbook
then converting it to texinfo ? Would it fit FSF Coding style ?
I've had a deeper look at Texinfo : The specification are larger
that html (i don't have the time to learn it)... And I haven't
fount authoring tool, etc...
Could you have a look at my work in the "manpages" section of :
http://wiki.debian.org/Grub/Grub2
The grub.cfg page still needs quite some work, the other one are
almost ok (one final review from me, one from you, and one from
debian-i18n team to remove Franglish and other errors ).
Your comments are welcome !
Franklin
