Hi,

This discussion [1] points that the current label stable/latest for:

 - things related to release
 - things related to current master

is confusing.  Mainly because 'stable' has other meaning in other distro.
Moreover, 'latest' does not imply less stable or buggy than 'stable' itself.

Instead, the label 'release/current' appears to be more accurate for a
rolling-release.

WDYT?

The term 'release' seems technical and hard-to-translate.  Stable may
raise wrong expectations, but one word cannot convey all the
difference between the images anyway.  I think the criticism of our QA
is too negative, even though more QA would have been better.

However there are few reasons to read the stable manual.  Hmm.

This should be

,(link-more #:label (G_ (string-append "Read manual " (latest-guix-version) "")))

with string-append like further below for

     ,(G_ (string-append "Page " (number->string active-page) " of "
                         (number->string pages) ". Go to another page: ")))

There is a typo, but more importantly the meaning of development
images is hard to understand.

This is a difficult topic. ;)

I do not have a strong opinion about the term to replace 'stable'.
However, I have a strong opinion that this label stable/latest is
confusing, at least in the nav bar.  Especially if you come from other
distros.  For instance, stable never receives fixes, so it is not
'stable' but 'frozen'.

Initially, I wanted to replace 'stable' by the current version number;
something using (latest-guix-version).  I think it is the best: clear
and easy to translate.  However, I had some hard time with all these
quote, backquote, unquote, so I gave up. :-)


> However there are few reasons to read the stable manual.  Hmm.

One reason at least is to have this manual open when you are
installing or playing with the images inside a VM, etc.

Indeed typo. :-)

> This is a difficult topic. ;)

Yeah, naming is a difficult topic.  I think that 'stable/latest' is an
inaccurate label for what it really is.  I think it should be
'1.3.0/current' or whatever better for current.

In French website, 'latest' is translated as 'Développement' and
'actuel'; which are both more accurate that 'latest' and they could be
translated back as 'current'.


Cheers,
simon

Hi simon.

What matters is that users try first to install with the stable Guix
System image, because it is more likely to succeed, but if it does not
succeed, they can try the other one.  In this regard, the terms
stable/latest seem fine to me.  1.3.0/current might reverse the order.

The discussion on IRC provess you right that users get confused.

I agree that the "stable" manual is better described as 1.3.0 (like
what your patch does) and not as stable.  But I am unsure if the
stable manual is needed at all.  You have a more experienced judgment
here though.

Florian

I agree with the aim.  I disagree with the term to express it and I
think that ’stable’ is not clear in this regard.  That’s why I proposed
’release’ instead, whereas I agree it is maybe not the best for
translation.

Well, maybe ’standard / latest’?  Or something else than latest as
development, current, or whatever else.

I also see the same confusion here and there.  Often I answer that once
clicked, the download page explains what it is and thus one just has to
read to the difference.  That’s not true for the manual though.

Read explanation for something intuitive implies something is not
optimal, hence the proposed patch and discussion. :-)

Well, keep the frozen manual for the current release is another
question.  For sure, I never use it and I never point to it.

I lack imagination and the only user-case I can think of is: read it
using another device while installing.

Therefore, maybe it would simplify if the navbar Help would contain only
“Guix Manual”.  And the navbar Download would contain Standard, where
the Standard webpage would contain a link for the manual in case it is
useful.

Instead of Standard, it could be (latest-guix-version) but I failed to
do it. :-)

 WDYT?

Yes.  I agree with your patch if Release is replaced by Standard and
the (G_ "Read manual ") is replaced as I wrote in my first mail and
the typo is addressed.

OK, the 1.3.0 manual is probably needed when changing the config file.
I do not know if it is needed on foreign distros.

R.I.P. stable, but you have shown there is confusion.

I have not test-built the website with the patch yet though.

Florian

Removing/reordering manual links could be another patch.

Sorry for not having pushed yet.  (Actually I had somehow assumed you
had commit access ...).

Actually yes.

I would like to push the attached patch
"website: Relabel stable/latest to standard/latest."
which is your patch but:

- Typo is fixed and G_ is used correctly.

- With latest remaining latest.  I don't think there is much
  difference, so better not invalidate existing translations.  Also
  latest is arguably more accurate than current.

- The sum of your changes grants copyright IMHO, so I added copyright
  headers for you for all changed files.
  Note that Luis Felipe opted for
  ;;; Public domain 2021 Luis Felipe López Acevedo
  instead of
  ;;; Copyright © 2021 Simon Tournier <zimon.toutoune <at> gmail.com>
  so I better ask first which you prefer.

- Also changing Help/GNU Guix Manual (stable)
  to Help/GNU Guix Manual 1.3.0 as you proposed.

OK?

Regards,
Florian

Sorry for the delay.  Indeed, I do not have commit access. :-)

LGTM, thanks for the various fixes.

All is fine.  Since I considered it was trivial changes, I appeared to
me not necessary for the Copyright line. :-)  Thanks for taking care of
all that.

With fresh eyes, maybe “Guix Manual” is enough here.

I have pushed as-is (commit 2f5793cf543edc6fee4fe1351b9b30dfce116dea),
because the Help/All page calls it GNU Guix Manual 1.3.0 too.

Also I think it is good now.  The 1.3.0 makes clear the difference to
latest.  The only downside to naming it 1.3.0 that I see is that the
guix.gnu.org/manual URL will change away from 1.3.0 on the next
release.

Thank you Simon!

Regards,
Florian

Maybe we can paremeterize the responsible code so that it's updated
automatically?

Cool!

Well, I think “GNU Guix Manual“ is superfluous in the Help
navbar. “Manual“ seems enough, IMHO.  Similarly for “Guix Reference
Card”, I would be weird that this reference card points to something
else.  For instance, it is only “Cookbook“ and not “GNU Guix Cookbook”,
in the Help navbar.

Then, the webpage “mentioning GNU Guix …” is fine.

Personally, I prefer light and straight navigation bar than one with too
many redundant information.  But all tastes are around. ;-)

Leo, we could create https://guix.gnu.org/manual/1.3.0/ and make the
navbar’s Help/GNU Guix Manual 1.3.0 point to
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/1.3.0/ so the meaning of the URL will not
change in the future.  This is what I meant; I had expressed myself
badly so I’m unsure now if you really mean that.

It is all unnecessary, I think; IMHO we do not even need both
https://guix.gnu.org/manual/ and https://guix.gnu.org/manual/devel/,
except when users manually change /etc/config.scm without guix pull.
Or do foreign distro users need the old manual to install?  But why?


The label Help/GNU Guix Manual 1.3.0 already uses

(define latest-guix-version
  (make-parameter "1.3.0"))

so the label will automatically become Help/GNU Guix Manual 1.4.0 or
whatever the next release will be called.

Regards,
Florian

Hi Florian,

I am still seeing the old version, even after refreshing.  All is it ok?

I don’t know about builds on berlin.  A local build of the de_DE
website was successful.
