Riddelltvo: thanks :)02:05
tvoRiddell: is it going in? :p02:05
[tvo] i'm testing compiling qt with that patch now actually, to test it..02:06
Riddelltvo: where did you get it from, why do you need it?02:08
[tvo] I need it to be able to use xrandr (or kde's gui for it) to rotate my screen02:09
[tvo] you can rotate my tft to portrait view02:09
[tvo] but kde doesn't adapt02:09
[tvo] ie. the bottom of the desktop is like on the middle of my screen in portrait view :)02:10
[tvo] and there's a invisible piece of desktop02:10
tvogot it from: http://johanneswilm.isasecret.com/TC1000/02:11
tvo"HOWTO: Gentoo GNU/Linux on Compaq TC1000"02:12

Riddelltvo: the patch in qt-copy is quite different http://websvn.kde.org/branches/qt/3.3/qt-copy/patches/0032-fix_rotated_randr.diff?rev=439328&view=log02:17

tvoRiddell: hmm, didn't see that one..02:20
pefhello02:21
Riddell"The old qt-copy patch #0032 was wrong"  maybe yours is the old one02:21
Riddelltvo: could you test both02:21
pefcan I use kdesu in the command entry in debian/menu ?02:21
Riddellpef: don't see why not (and I presume they don't have a better way to call it)02:21
tvoRiddell: yep, I'm building with this Gentoo patch now, in % it won't take much time to test the other patch too :)02:22
pefRiddell: ok, thanks :)02:22
Riddellpef: but not in .desktop files02:23
pefRiddell: mm, why ?02:24
Riddelluse X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true02:24
pefI will take a look to how ethereal does :)02:25
Riddellit uses both X-KDE-SubstituteUID and gksu, weird02:26
pefRiddell: and no *su  in .desktop, should I correct it ?02:27
Riddellpef: what's in there at the momenty02:28
Riddell?02:28
pefRiddell: /usr/bin/ethereal02:28
Riddellwell it works so don't correct it02:28
pefRiddell: launching it from debian menu entry makes ethereal less usefull :/ (and gives error when trying to sniff)02:29
Riddellweird, etherreal has two .desktop files, both with X-KDE-SubstituteUID=true but only 1 with gksu02:30
pefRiddell: gtksu and X-KDESubsituteUID are in conflicts, no ? it only needs X-KDE.. no ?02:32
Riddellfor KDE yes02:33
pefRiddell: no way to be gnome/kde compatible ?02:33

pefRiddell: ping06:05
Riddellpef: hi06:08
Riddelltvo: any luck getting qt compiled?06:08
pefRiddell: hi, can you help me with a little packaging problem ?06:09
Riddellpef: I can try06:09
vendaRiddell: http://lnix.net/~froud//deb/kubuntu-docs_5.10-0.4_all.deb + src in same folder06:10
pefRiddell: I use cdbs to package a kde apps, and I can't get rid off config.{sub,guess} from my diff.gz (dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa)06:10
pefi have them in $CURDIR and $CURDIR/admin06:10
Riddellpef: that's something MOTU have been discussing, I think cdbs should do clever things to save and restore those files though06:12
Riddellpef: but you can just add rm -f config.sub config.guess to the rules file06:12
pefRiddell: I've tried this, using clean:: and cleanbuildir:: tragets, but I always have theses files in the .diff file :/06:13
pefRiddell: http://rafb.net/paste/results/n78SQR78.html am I wrong somewhere ?06:15
Riddellpef: have you tried it in a straight clean rule?  clean::  not clean/kvpnc::06:15
alleepef: the clean:: targe deletes the files properly but before the diff is done they are recreated.06:16
pefallee: that's funny :D06:16
pefohh06:16
alleepef: Hack: remove them for the diff and unpack a fresh source.  At the first build the diff is not poluted :)06:16
pefi've found the source of the problem06:17
pefI'm not packaging a fresh apps, but correcting an already packaged one06:17
pefso in the .orig.tar.gz file theses files exists06:17
alleethere a bug in b.d.o and a patch. (this one is used in KDE 'private' cdbs)06:17
alleepef: orig.tar?  Hah! unpack, remove garbage and rebuild orig.tar!06:18
pefallee: must I mention this to readme.debian ? 06:18
alleeI would add it to changelog.  but orig.tar is not holy ;)  But it never hurts to add a reminder for yourself to changelog06:19

pefcheck the homepage of the apps for home made packages ?06:22
alleepef: a home page, silly me. Too obvious.  thx06:27
pefit's ok for the config.{config,guess} files , thank you guys !06:28
Riddellpef: how did you fix it?06:28
pefRiddell: deleted from the orig.tar.gz file, and added an rm -f to clean:: on debian/rules06:28
Riddellhmm, deleteing those from .orig might not get past dholbach06:29
alleetry a second build and check diff  (me, nervous, was there a fix in the meantime)06:29

alleeHave not played with it enough to help you here.  Btw.  s/vpn/VPN/ in description and use ..'VPN (virtual private network)' when first mentioned?  If freeswan is only linux 2.4 and ubuntu has only 2.6?07:01

alleedesktop file: mv  instead of dh_install + rm  and rmdir applnk/Internet and applnk dirs07:07
alleefreeswan in in breezy universe so mention (unmaintained) is the better choice.07:08
alleepef: why do you use debian native layout and not orig.tar + diff?  After all it's at least no kubuntu-native tarball ;)07:10
pefallee: easier to submit/review using revu ?07:11
alleereally? I like to look at diffs and (interdiffs)07:13

pefthat's how a package becomes really good07:41
alleepef: move unmaintained to freeswan (not linux 2.4 ;), s/vpn/VPN in short description too07:45
alleepef: changelog: mention why you did it.  What you did is a matter of interdiff, but the why is the thing that get lost easily07:46
pefallee: why I made all theses changes ?07:47
=== allee wishes he obeyed this suggestion half a year ago :(
alleepef: no all:  but, e.g, why did you replace '|' with , in Suggests,  why you use optional instead of extra07:49
pefok, so _every_ change07:49
alleeno, no need to explain, e.g., why you added manpage :)  but maybe related the docbook2x and manpage (manpage don't need docbook2x but the original docbook version needs it)07:51
alleepef: just thoughts from own experience.  Not necessary applicaple to others07:55
alleepef did you do a grep --recursive -i copyright?07:57
alleedesktop: No Categories enties, s/Comment/GenericName/07:59
alleepef: X-KDESubstituteUID?  kdesu is used.  Puzzeled08:01
pefallee: I'm fixing this (forget during the action)08:01
pefallee: can I use echo "foo" >> file in debian/rules ?08:01
alleepef: no, not idempotent.  Either clone+edit the desktop file or create a patch.08:02

=== Riddell recommends icecream is anyone is looking for something to package
Riddell(it already has packaging)10:16
jpatrickwhat about kConfigure?10:18

jpatrick'Kconfigure simplifies compiling and installing software by providing a graphical interface.'10:20
Riddellif you find it useful then yes :)10:20
alleeicecream does not interest me enough.  My kde packages are small enough for one cpu and a cup of tee ;)10:22

tvoRiddell: did you read my fwd mail from slocate author?10:53
Riddelltvo: yes, not sure what to make of it10:56
tvoRiddell: he has pretty good arguments against it10:56
tvoI understood other people had requested/offered other solution, like a ultra fast update algo which only considers changes and doesn't make a database from scratch each time10:57
tvoIMO that solution wouldn't solve a thing. It would just reduce time it takes to run updatedb10:58
Riddellyes, that's what it sounds like10:59
tvohe has like 2 points:11:04
tvo1) it's a daemon, if it's killed db is inconsistent11:04
tvo2) need to batch changes for performance reasons11:04
tvoI had already thought of first part of 1) and 2), just not of db inconsistency11:05

Riddellallee: many other programmes have minimal translations11:09
Riddelltvo: for 2) you just make sure you update only max every 60 seconds or so11:10
Riddellfor 1) get a better database :)11:10
tvoyeah it shouldn't die of course :)11:11
allee'k Well, I can (have to) do at least a german trans otherwise my familie kicks me.  I'll see wath the knoppix pkger answer and if there's some spare time othr weekend.11:11
tvoanyway, algorithmic it's a pretty tough job, certainly if it's to be done in plain C, like slocate11:11
tvoI think I could do it but I don't think I can guarantee a working product by 1st of september..11:15
Riddellit also have nothing to do with the origional KubuntuFileSearch :)11:16
Riddellbut if you think there's a good chance of having something working at some point and you'd find it fun then go ahead 11:16
Riddellhave you looked at inotify APIs and stuff?11:17
tvoRiddell: yeah, but just a quick glance. Maybe I should try to get an inotify enabled kernel and play a bit with inotify first11:18
Riddellthat would be the way to start11:19
Riddellby the way I'm away next week11:19
tvoit is kinda like the sort of interesting project which I may continue in my spare time when uni starts11:19
