= Launchpad and Bazaar =

This is a step-by-step guide for creating a branch of the Ubuntu Desktop Course and working on it. The Ubuntu Desktop course is hosted on Launchpad in a bazaar repository (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop-course)

 1. Create a directory on your system, we use ubuntu-desktop-course here
   * $ ""mkdir ubuntu-desktop-course; cd ubuntu-desktop-course""
 1. Create a repository to hold branches
   * $ ""bzr init-repo .""
    * [Note the '.' in the above command]
    * This step is not absolutely necessary, but of advantage if you want to have several branches
 1. Branch from the desktop course beta
   * $ ""bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~canonical-training/ubuntu-desktop-course/ubuntu-desktop-course-beta"" ([https://code.launchpad.net/~canonical-training/ubuntu-desktop-course/ubuntu-desktop-course-beta browse])
    * A new directory named ubuntu-desktop-course-beta is created and populated
    * The local branch of the desktop course makes it possible to see the changes you made more easily when offline
 1. Create your own branch
   * $ bzr branch ubuntu-desktop-course-beta ubuntu-desktop-course-beta-<NAME OR NICK>
    * This is your working copy
 1. Edit and change the XML files
   * Use any editor you like
    * gnome-edit offers syntax highlighting
    * bluefish offers easy use of xmllint to check the XML validity
    * For more options see http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookAuthoringTools
 1. Commit your changes
   * $ bzr commit -m "Example commit, corrected error on bzr usage"
    * Commit after every logical change, e.g. update of a paragraph or list
    * Use sensible commit messages
 1. Publish your branch
   * From your branch directory call
    * bzr push bzr+ssh://<LAUNCHPAD USERNAME>@bazaar.launchpad.net/~<LAUNCHPAD USERNAME>/ubuntu-desktop-course/<YOUR BRANCH NAME>

= Required packages =

To be able to "make" the DocBook source, you may need the following packages: docbook-xsl, xsltproc and dblatex. You can install these using the command line ("sudo apt-get install ...") or the Synaptic package manager.
