You'll find the prototype OMF in docs-common/packaging, It is ugly in that it only really works for "en" $LANG. What you'll find is that OMFs are separately constructed for each locale and placed in /usr/share/omf/<doc_or_prog_name>, e.g. /usr/share/omf/gcalctool/gcalctool-it.omf -- the "C" locale is used for en. (That goes for at least en.UTF-8, maybe other sub-locales -- or whatever you call them, I'm out of my depth there.) The OMF standard is discussed in /usr/share/scrollkeeper/doc/writing_scrollkeeper_omf_files/C/writing_scrollkeeper_omf_files.xml if you want to take a look at the real authoritative stuff -- or in GNOME, just launch Desktop -> Help -> Writing Scrollkeeper OMF Files. (Just a side note: One thing we *definitely* want is for all official FDP docs to be in the General|Linux|Distributions|Other category, since that will put them on the front "Help" page where people find them quickly. You'll see that in the example in docs-common/packaging/.) If you run "make rpm" in the docs-common/ module, you'll get my first cut at what a fedora-doc-common RPM would look like. Notice it includes things like a .menu file for the /etc/xdg/ tree so that later docs will show up on the Applications -> Documentation menu as well as yelp, khelpcenter, or anywhere else we decide. The .desktop files are set up to allow such a thing. Let me know if there's anything there that looks wacko. -- Paul W.
