this is where you play the victory fanfare

. . . It actually worked! \o/

I have managed to convert a style to s2 (yay) and now it is up on my Dreamhack as an "official" style. \o/ I was pretty sure I was going to have to hassle both #dw_styles and #dw_kindergarten to make things work, but I didn't have to, and I'm kinda staring at this whole thing feeling stunned.

Once the conversion was done, I ended up trying to puzzle things in the wiki. Halfway through I got confused which version was "production" and which was "live" and what actually was being updated where. Which is kind of ironic. I used to do configuration management, once upon a time ago, and one of the things I had to take care of was -- guess -- version control. (I still think rather ruefully about the Old Job when things like this come up.)

It is late and my shoulder hurts. I'm going to bed. Tomorrow I'll have another look at the Customize page -- some of the property descriptions read oddly -- and I'm waiting for some feedback from the layout author . . . and that's it! And a lot of testing, I guess. Lots of it.

\o/

Yup! That sounds right to me. (I'm so glad it seems like you enjoyed working on that layout *grin*)

If you have any questions about any bit, holler!

Oh, also one more thing, be sure to comment on http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680, so that the layout can have a screenshot made for it.

Ah, I was wondering where the screenshots came in. Will do so!

I looked in Bugzilla, but it doesn't seem like there's a bug open for the layout -- will I have to open one to submit the patch?

[afuna]

Yup!

See http://dreamscapes.dreamwidth.org/20097.html?thread=229761#cmt229761 for two sets of quick instructins

Thank you.You must've had to repeat the process each time a newbie came along. *g*

[afuna]

Hey, it is my pleasure *grins*

(Hmm, but we should see about getting that into an entry somewhere, soon...)
