[02:19] <giancarlo> some help with parted 
[08:33] <pef> morning
[11:11] <pef> allee: hi
[11:38] <allee> hi pef
[11:39] <pef> allee: is your revu account fully functionnal ;)
[11:40] <allee> pef: upload should be fine according to siretart.  Reviewing is not possible (due to implied voting right)
[11:41] <allee> pef: have not tired to upload (wlassistant is ready, but I can't test it on breezy)
[11:41] <pef> yeah :)
[11:41] <allee> s/tired/tried/
[11:42] <pef> breezy is broken for me (root ou lvm volume doesn't work at all)
[11:42] <allee> pewh. I'm lucky breezy works here (but I've no lvm)
[11:51] <allee> pef: does tar czf use gzip --best (or -9) for compression?
[11:56] <allee> pef: quick test showed that only gzip is called.  So  GZIP=--best tar czf ...  or tar cf - ... | gzip --best -c - > ... will do
[12:11] <allee> pef: desktop file still misses  Categories and GenericName, Version  (see http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-0.9.4.html#recognized-keys)
[12:12] <allee> pef: upstream wants to release in some days.  If you send him the changes there a change they get included ;)
[12:13] <pef> allee: default setting for gzipped through tar is --5, right ?
[12:14] <allee> pef: manpage says -6
[12:15] <pef> allee: I think I should advice him to delete the debian layout from the tarball too
[12:16] <allee> pef: yes
[12:17] <pef> allee: but this package will never be integrated into Debian if nobody takes care of it ? (review, official upload), isn't it ?
[12:18] <allee> pef: yes
[12:19] <allee> pef: Unfortunately I have no good testing environment (and lack some VPN knowledge) other wise I would have done it a year ago
[12:19] <pef> so no .deb will be available for debian..I don't think he will be happy to deleted debian layout from his package in this case
[12:19] <pef> allee: are you dd ?
[12:19] <allee> pef: no
[12:20] <allee> luckily with a mentor that's no problem ;)
[12:20] <pef> it seems to be hard to find
[12:21] <allee> pef: deleting from tarballl does not mean deleting it from cvs.  (No problem to unpack tarball extract debian/ from cvs and debuild -i)
[12:23] <allee> pef: If he want's to keep debian in tar ball, no big deal too.  Diff.gz is a less readable
[12:23] <pef> so all my work around upstream tarball will be useless for new kcpnc release
[12:32] <allee> pef: No. I submitted quite some debian/ changes to Christoph last year.  He happyly applied all of them.
[12:34] <pef> GenericName=Connect to a vpn Categories=Network;RemoteAccess;KDE;Qt Version=0.94 looks right for you ?
[12:36] <allee> pef: s/vpn/VPN/; s/0.94/0.9.4/,  menu entry would look like 'Connect to a vpn (kvpnc)'
[12:37] <allee> hmm, IMHO GenericName=VPN Client fits better to the other menu entires
[12:38] <pef> allee: ok, thanks for all info :)
[12:39] <allee> pef: I've to thank you as a future kvpnc pkg user ;)
[12:41] <pef> allee: ubuntu packages are my first contribution to OpenSource, and I'm happy to see lot of helpfull people like you
[12:47] <allee> pef: rules dh_installmenu.  Is this needed?  My wlassistant.menu is installed by cdbs without an explicit dh_installmenu call
[12:48] <pef> mm you're right
[12:49] <allee> pef: I have not looked at it in detail into dh_desktop.  But my current conclusion is:
[12:49] <allee>         # desktop file contains no associated with mimetypes: no need to call dh_desktop
[12:49] <allee>         #dh_desktop -p wlassistant
[12:51] <pef> dh_desktop updates the menu
[12:55] <allee> really?  From what I've read it creates mimelnk.cache (sp?)
[12:56] <pef> mmm
[12:57] <allee> apt-cache show desktop-file-utils | grep update-desk
[12:57] <allee>   * update-desktop-database -- update the desktop-MIME mapping
[12:59] <pef> exact, I need to verify what people say to me on irc :] 
[01:00] <allee> pef: I may be wrong!  I've learnt yesterday from your rules file that dh_desktop exists ;)
[01:01] <allee> lunch
[06:09] <_verwilst> damned verwilst i shut you down at work!
[06:10] <_verwilst> oh, no i didn't :$
[06:10] <_verwilst> Riddell-awa: gonna work a bit on the debs tonight again ;)
[06:38] <allee> _verwilst: which ones?
[07:25] <_verwilst> allee: kde3.5_alpha1
[07:25] <_verwilst> and later on, svn daily builds
[08:03] <allee> _verwilst: whoa!
