All,

For several days I have been working on several items with the help handbook system. I've been thorough and have been testing intensely with the hope of avoiding new bugs after the patches are pushed to git.

Much of the work revolves around fixing tdeioslaves and protocol handbooks, but there are other patches such as fixing missing icons, fixing DocPath keys, updated handbooks, etc.

The patches include tde-i18n fixes to match as much as possible the changes made in the parent packages.

I ran a final full build set last night with all of the upcoming patches, including tde-i18n. There were no build failures and my usage tests today went as expected.

As the patch set includes the tdelibs module, which include entity changes, your best approach is to run a full build set. Any time we update the entities in tdelibs that means help handbooks using the previous entities will fail to build.

After many rounds of package rebuilding and usability testing I'm not expecting problems, but as always I'm only one person and don't conceive of or anticipate all use cases. Please report potentially related bugs to the list and I'll look into them. Please don't report bugs unless you performed a full package set rebuild because that will be my first reply. :)

I plan to soon start pushing those patches.

I plan to run another full build set tonight after I finish pushing all patches to ensure no new problems.

Darrell
