Lasconic built the PDF and it's now available as a download on http://musescore.org/cs/p%C5%99%C3%ADru%C4%8Dka
Hi,
I would like to ask for the update of the manual in PDF form. The best day would be the Monday. :) (Before that day I will replace some pictures with newer versions).
Thanks
Actually it would be nice to see all PDFs updated. Many online handbooks recieved updates since 1.2 got released (for sure the English and German ones did).
Lasconic actually updated all the handbooks. See http://mscore.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mscore?view=revision&revision=…
Ah, very good
Will this be one again some time?
I think it should, something like monthly maybe?
Esp. as there are still bugs, see #16792: Most links to video tutorials in the PDF handbooks don't work
The Czech handbook edit is finished now.
I would like to ask for update of Czech manual PDF's. Thanks
Making this issue active as you requested to rebuild the PDF.
I did some edit to the English and German handbook, so it'd be good to have them recreated too. It weren't major changes though.
We need to find a better way to do this. Storing the PDF in SVN is not a good idea anymore.
Do we have some space where we can send the PDFs?
GitHub?
GitHub is even a worse idea since git is not designed to store binary information, maybe even less than SVN. We will find some better hosting.
For the time being the PDF are updated.
Hmm, the PDFs are not build on CVS nor GitHub , right? Hosting them could be done on musescore.org directly, can't it?
Hosting the pdf on musescore.org an option since we want to keep the webserver strictly for serving the site, not for serving static files. It reduces maintenance and support issues. The prereleases server could have been a solution but has proven to be suboptimal lately since the hosting company decided to put a firewall in place with IP blocking on FTP access for users from outside the US. So together with the handbooks, we are looking for a better hosting solution. Addon issue with the handbooks: there is manual intervention needed to compile the PDF files. Best solution would be a service which can run the python script and dump the PDF files on a static file server.
I added this to the roadmap for documentation.
how about the translation server?
The translation server is musescore.org too.
musescore.org and translate.musescore.org are currently hosted on the same web server. Not an option. We can split up the discussion in 2 parts btw: making a service of the python script to build the pdf handbooks at regular times, storing the pdf files on a file server. In both cases, we want to lower the maintenance costs which are now to high as there is manual work involved. So if someone would like to pick up the task to maintain a python service which updates the handbook pdf files at regular times, feel free to let us know.
