pronik moritz_: ping 01:43
hmm.. might as well write it, you could reply whenever you see this 01:47
it seems that plain ASCII tables in PseudoPod are not really supported by the parser 01:48
those were the means for O'Reilly to load off the burden of table layouting from author to layouter
PseudoPod::LaTeX expects a proper table structure, so that simple table just crashes our build scripts 01:49
I'm afraid you need to convert that precendes table to normal POD tables
or I'll do it tomorrow, depends on who of us both is faster ;) 01:50
moritz_: done, see commit logs 02:07

pmichaud is there anyone around knowledgable about the build system for the book that can help me get past my current "can't build the book" woes? 16:02
currently I have: gist.github.com/525631 16:03

16:05 masak joined
pronik pmichaud: lemme see 16:22
pmichaud: could you do a "make -d" and pastebin that? 16:23
pmichaud it's long... 16:28
pronik last 20-30 lines are the most important 16:29
pmichaud gist.github.com/525656
pronik interesting, no errors or warnings whatsoever :( 16:30
pmichaud it's possible I don't have a needed library or package loaded 16:31
pronik would it be feasible to give me shell access?
pmichaud I might be able to do that... just a sec
oh, hmm. not quite so easy, as I'd have to open up a port in the firewall
just a sec 16:32
pronik we could try port forwarding
pmichaud bbiab 16:33
(access granted via /privmsg) 16:43
if you tell me what file(s) appear to be missing, I can also find the packages quickly 16:45
pronik you need texlive-latex-recommended
which is in the current README
pmichaud right 16:46
that package is *huge*
pronik but I agree, minimal system problem exists
pmichaud and in the past even with it installed I ended up getting the same error
installing
pronik yes, sadly, texlive is much too big :(
pmichaud 90 sec
pronik but the alternative is not using LaTeX packages
wow
pmichaud 60 sec 16:47
pronik 21.4 MB uncompressed
pmichaud 20 sec
it's not just that package, it's all of its dependencies 16:48
pronik which ones is it installing? texlive-common, texlive-binaries, texlive-latex-base should have been installed anyway
pmichaud gist.github.com/525685 # what it installed 16:49
okay, texlive-latex-recommended is installed, but I still get the same error
pronik latex-beamer is just recommended and also other packages
I'll try again 16:50
pmichaud still, it loaded 171MB of stuff. On top of all over the other texlive stuff I had already installed. :-)
pronik I've got another big package for you ;) - texlive-latex-extra 16:51
pmichaud After this operation, 315MB of additional disk space will be used. 16:52
:-)
pronik cool :)
pmichaud 80 sec
pronik you are definitely installing the recommended packages with it, which is not necessarily needed
I usually do an "aptitude install texlive-full" ;) 16:53
pmichaud I'm just installing the package you're saying to install. "apt-get install texlive-latex-extra"
it's pulling along all of the others.
150 sec
pronik hmm. well, let it do it, doesn't hurt -- apart from disk space and bandwidth
wow again
pmichaud (initial estimate was apparently wrong) 16:54
pronik sorry it takes so long :(
pmichaud np
pronik I just don't see a sensible way to reduce dependencies 16:55
pmichaud right
60 sec
installing 16:56
pronik nothing to change in the README yet, btw ;) 16:57
pmichaud okay, this time it's working.
last time I tried it, one of the packages must've failed the install (or I overlooked it)
pronik are you getting any font problems? If not, you should have got around 125 pages of PDF goodness :) 16:58
first time I looked at the book, it was just around 60 pages long
pmichaud looking
pronik as long as you have normal text and chapter titles, you should be ok 16:59
pmichaud yeah, I don't have the fonts installed
so, I'll do that next. :)
pronik wait, I can scp those to that book shell account
pmichaud I'm going to have to re-do this anyway for my laptop 17:00
I'll do the install
also, I want to verify that the README works when I do it :)
After this operation, 260MB of additional disk space will be used.
*sigh* :-)
pronik acroread is huge :(
the good thing is, you can remove it afterwards
pmichaud no, this is for texlive-fonts-extra
I already have acroread installed
(it's part of my default install) 17:01
pronik I wonder whether we actually need texlive-fonts-extra anymore
pmichaud do I need to copy the font files to ~/.fonts/ ?
pronik yes 17:02
pmichaud if so, where are they used?
pronik xelatex uses freetype IIRC
the including lines are in book.sty
you probably only need ttf-xfree86-nonfree 17:03
pmichaud I get a lot of 17:04
kpathsea: Invalid fontname `Minion Pro', contains ' '
pronik those are acroread fonts
should be called MyriadPro-Regular.otf or the like and be in ~/.fonts 17:05
same for MinionPro-Regular.otf
and Bold BoldIt and It variations
the third fonts we are using is Luxi Mono, which is part of ttf-xfree86-nonfree
pmichaud okay, that seems to have worked. 17:06
I have a book with 129 pages and text.
many thanks 17:07
I'll try this on my notebook next, and see if texlive-fonts-extra is needed (since I don't have it installed there) 17:08
pronik if not, throw it out of README ;) 17:09
pmichaud of course
pronik just to verify: you see a cover image with a butterfly and credits including CC license on the second page? 17:10
pmichaud yes.
pronik good
then have fun hacking around :) 17:11
