ajmitchok, who wants to volunteer to do the meeting minutes this week?02:04
ajmitchshall I do them again?02:04
ograif you like ... i'm stuffed...02:04
Nafallowhy is my IRC screwed? I've got - and + before all names02:05
ajmitchogra: understandable02:05
sistpotyi can do the minutes... but only if someone will correct them ;)02:05
ajmitchwe've got enough people here to get started then02:05
ogra(the edubutu DVD will be used by the club of rome to promote their documents) 02:05
=== siretart is currently at work, will have some lags here
ograand by the unesco...02:05
dholbachogra: ROCK'N'ROLL!02:05
ograyep :)02:06
=== dholbach is amazed
=== sivang faints
ajmitchogra: oh man, that's cool!02:06
siretartsounds great!02:06
ajmitchgood work :)02:06
ogra:)02:06
Nafallowow02:06
dholbachlet's get cracking02:06
sivangogra: amazing, were they impressed by the quality ?02:07
ajmitchfirst item, REVU02:07
dholbachsistpoty: your item, i believe?02:07
sistpotynot revu actually, but the server sponsored by canonical02:07
Nafallos/REVU/tiber/ :-)02:07
sistpotysince we have it... why not use it for MOTU business as well ;)02:07
ajmitchsistpoty: such as?02:07
ograRT ?02:07
sivangsistpoty: MOTU have a server from canonical ?02:07
Nafallosistpoty: like a people.ubuntu.com derivate?02:07
ajmitchwebspace for other uploads?02:07
ajmitchogra: hm, could be good :)02:08
sistpotywhatever we could need it for02:08
ograerr, that should comae anyway through launchpad at some point i think02:08
ogra(p.u.c functionality)02:08
dholbachsomebody could doublecheck in #launchpad02:08
ajmitchdholbach: they've got a meeting now02:08
siretartsistpoty: I think the point was to use it as developer machine. in the meantime I hacked this revu-build script02:09
dholbachajmitch: oh i see02:09
dholbachsiretart: that's excellent news02:09
\shmorning02:09
ajmitchsistpoty: chroots setup for package building? how fast is the box?02:09
ajmitchmorning \sh 02:09
siretartsistpoty: any root on tiber can now throw revu uploads into revu build, and get it autobuilt and some more diagnostics02:09
ajmitchI thought it was a shared linode box02:09
ograi think we urgently need something better than UniverseCandidates .... that would be my first shot for additional services 02:09
sistpotysiretart: cool02:09
siretartI think some ppl have already seen what I mean02:09
ajmitchogra: yes, certainly02:09
dholbachyeah that'd rock02:10
ajmitchogra: even malone would be better than universecandidates :)02:10
ograheh02:10
ajmitchwell, when LP is working02:10
sistpotyajmitch: AMD Sempron(tm)   2400+02:10
\shI think RT is a kewl solution02:10
\shor via trac02:10
ajmitchsistpoty: so it's not a shared box, but a dedicated server for MOTUs? :)02:10
\shthe ticketing system is also nice02:10
sistpotyajmitch: i dunno if this is a vserver or a dedicated one... how could i check?02:11
=== ajmitch doesn't care which one is used, anything would be an improvement on what we have
ograyup02:11
dholbachmaybe we can fire up a wiki page to collect ideas for pages that organize our work a bit better02:11
ajmitchdholbach: good idea02:12
dholbachlike  short script for morguecandidates, syncs to make sure they are done, ...02:12
ajmitchotherwise we'll waste the meeting time talking about various things we could do :)02:12
siretartmom02:12
dholbachyeah02:12
ograyup, we ned a tool thats good at transition lists... and a tool for the UniverseCandidates02:12
dholbachyeah02:12
dholbachthat sounds excellent02:12
=== ajmitch has a bunch of scritps here that could be put on it
ograpreferable one that can do both02:12
ajmitchfor transitions, unmet deps, etc02:13
dholbachMOTUWebTools ?02:13
ograsournds good02:13
dholbachstarting it02:13
ogra:)02:13
dholbachnext item?02:13
=== ajmitch will have to clean up his messy scripts first ;)
ajmitchUVF, and the lack of knowledge of it?02:13
sistpotyi'd like to speak about user-accounts 02:13
ajmitchsistpoty: ok02:13
sistpotyon tiber... if you don't mind02:13
ajmitchgo ahead :)02:13
sistpotyhow do we want to handle this? i don't object about giving every modu root-rights...02:14
sistpotybut this might lead to some administering chaos02:14
sistpotyany ideas?02:14
siretartI think this should be handled by request02:14
sistpotys/modu/motu ;)02:14
ajmitchsiretart: agreed02:14
ajmitchgiven on need02:15
siretartif some motu wants an account on tiber, we can create it02:15
ajmitchand stuff should be setup such that few people _need_ root02:15
siretartthe applicant should state what he intends to do on tiber02:15
Yagisanperhaps striping unneeded rights with something like grsec02:15
=== ajmitch wants to h4x0r the world
siretartand we will consider if root rights are necessary02:15
sistpotysiretart: agreed02:15
Yagisans/striping/stripping02:15
Nafallo/etc/sudoers can be set up as needed02:15
ograi think a good group management is enough, no need for custom kernel stuff etc02:16
siretartfor http://revu.tauware.de/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/Revu1Building - root is needed, though02:16
ajmitchsiretart: sudo can be setup to run just some commands - not really secure, but avoids accidental mistakes02:16
ograajmitch++02:16
ajmitchanyone building stuff in a chroot can probably still own the box anyway ;)02:16
\shI would say, siretart will be the the "uber-root" of this machine...02:16
slomosiretart: for example you could just allow sudo on revu-build for everybody or something like that02:17
sistpotyhehe02:17
ogra:)02:17
siretartajmitch: sudo rights for pbuilding is effectly root02:17
Yagisanajmitch: that's not always true ...02:17
dholbachdid anyone notice that the wiki is f.cking slow?02:17
ograyup02:17
Yagisanyes - it's always slow02:17
ograyesterday already02:17
ajmitchYagisan: no, but we've got a stock ubuntu install, no chroot hardening at the moment, iirc02:17
Yagisanajmitch: I see02:17
siretart\sh: hehe - I think we should establish a tiber admin team, in case e.g. me is not available or very busy02:17
dholbachwiki page is there02:18
sistpotysiretart++02:18
dholbachsuper02:18
ajmitchsiretart: or sleeping, since all the admin team in one country isn't so helpful at times :)02:18
\shsiretart: backup is a good thing...we should avoid SPoFs02:18
Yagisanajmitch -  If needed - could we change kernel or turn on selinux etc ?02:18
=== Lathiat casually wanders in
ajmitchYagisan: probably doable, depending on if it's a shared box, etc02:18
ajmitchYagisan: I haven't seen the box yet02:19
ograi'm oppsed to change the kernel 02:19
siretart\sh: do you have some time in future (not atm but general) to do adminning buissness on tiber?02:19
ograwe loose the upgradeability02:19
ajmitchogra: as am I, but we can fit selinux in if needed02:19
\shsiretart: well...I'm always on :) so I can do some things...02:19
siretartYagisan: I'd rather put xen on tiber02:19
Yagisanogra: I think selinux also can do the caps - bit it's set to diablled by default02:19
ograajmitch, thats only a boot option, right ? 02:19
Yagisanogra: yes02:19
sistpotyhm... imo all the motu's are trustworthy enough to "have" root rights... i see the real problem in several persons fiddling on the same stuff so the sudoers variant for pbuilder should suffice02:19
Nafallocould someone check with whoever fixed that box exactly what it is? :-)02:19
ograok02:19
\shanyways...lets agree on an admin team all over the main motu TZs and lets move on :)02:19
siretartok, in this case, I'd propose sistpoty, sh and myself as core tiber admin team, 02:20
dholbachyeah02:20
ograsistpoty, even the best MOTUs make mistakes02:20
Nafallosiretart: same country :-P02:20
=== Lathiat is happy to
dholbach:)02:20
sistpotyogra: that's why i prefer the sudoers variant... but let's move on02:20
\sheveryone makes mistakes..sometimes small ones..and sometimes..forget it ;902:20
siretartwe will handle account requests, via an alias file, will create an alias for this: admin@tiber.tauware.de02:20
siretartNafallo: oh. you're right, that was not on purpose02:21
dholbachexcellent idea02:21
NafalloI would like ajmitch on that admin theme personally :-).02:21
Lathiatadmin theme hey02:21
ajmitchheh02:21
Nafallohehe, or team ;-)02:21
ajmitchtheming, sounds like andyfitz territory ;)02:21
ogrado we have somebody from the US ?02:21
\shbddebian ;)02:21
ograto add to this team ? 02:21
ogragreat :)02:22
ajmitchwe're a little short on US MOTUs at the moment :)02:22
ajmitchseems to be mostly europe active02:22
Lathiatwhat is the us timezone02:22
Lathiat-4 or something?02:22
ograbut bddebian is a good start :)02:22
ajmitchyes02:22
Nafalloajmitch: you are awake when germany is asleep most times, no? :-)02:22
Lathiatwhat a guess02:22
ajmitchNafallo: sure, I'm about 12 hours different, and I'm addicted to IRC ;)02:23
\shLathiat: -6?02:23
Nafalloso ajmitch for admin then ;-)02:23
Lathiat\sh: ah02:23
ajmitchLathiat: depends which US TZ you mean02:23
siretartadmin@tiber.tauware.de should work now02:23
\sheast-coast should be ok02:23
ajmitchok, so who's on the team?02:23
dcraven-4 here in Canada, but there are 3 tzs.02:23
\shajmitch: bddebian ;) 02:23
ajmitch\sh: ok02:24
dholbachtseng is in the US as well02:24
Nafallocould we _ask_ bddebian before? :-)02:24
\shajmitch: i think it should be: you, bddebian (US), siretart 02:24
\shNafallo: no...it's settled02:24
Nafallohehe02:24
ograah, yes, or tseng... but tseng was busy recently02:24
\shNafallo: he would say always "No, I'm a n00b" but I don't believe bddebian02:25
ajmitch\sh: bddebian has plenty of admin experience02:25
\shNafallo: so giving him the job is the best we can do for him ;)02:25
\shajmitch: but he's is playing a fool with us ;)02:25
dholbachyeah, he likes his little jokes02:25
Nafallohehe, okey. we use the --force on him then :-P02:25
\shs/a/the/02:25
dholbachok, next item?02:26
dholbach:)02:26
\sh UVF for universe and multiverse (ReinhardTartler, ajmitch)02:26
ajmitchthe fact that recent MOTUs just don't know that we had UVF for universe02:27
ajmitchand we got a few broken syncs of new upstream versions02:27
ogradamned02:27
\shwhich ones? vpnc is fixed ;)02:27
Nafallohmm, not even I knew that :-P02:27
dholbachit's quite easy to answer that, i guess - if a new version fixes a problem easier than patching/fixing/cirvumventing, we should get it in (especially, if it's in debian) - we should insist on testbuilds and tests before02:27
ograregardless of UVF, syncs should *always* be tested before requesting the sync !02:28
ajmitchdholbach: not just that, but that UVF exceptions were meant to be passed by you/ogra/some others, with those conditions02:28
ajmitchogra: yes, agreed02:28
dcravenCan someone say what UVF stands for so us new folk can keep up?02:28
YagisanUbuntu Version Freeze02:29
Mithrandirdcraven: upstream version freezy02:29
Mithrandirfreeze, even02:29
Lathiatupstream version freeze02:29
dcravencheers02:29
ograupstream version freeze02:29
=== Yagisan is close enough
ograwe ar in it since 2 months02:29
dholbachMithrandir: freezy is funny - we should have it in one of the next releases :)02:29
dholbachMithrandir: and announce it at UbuntuBelowZero :)02:29
ograso new upstream versions need approval before they are done, to make sure a second pair of eyes looks over them02:29
Mithrandirdholbach: aka outdoors meeting?02:29
dholbachhehe, exactly02:30
Nafallohehe02:30
ogra*shiver*02:30
ajmitchogra: we need this written up on a wiki page, with the people to contact for UVF exceptions02:30
dholbachsmokers bofs :)02:30
\shfor dapper we HAVE to stay with UVF/FF etc.02:30
Nafallo\sh: agreed02:30
ograajmitch, we also need to respect it completely in dapper...02:30
ajmitchwe have to maintain a *high* quality for dapper02:30
ajmitchogra: yes, given exceptions that are tested02:31
ograso no need for a wiki page, since we will have to follow the release schedule completely in dapper02:31
\shfor breezy it was as well a bit shitty, cause all this transitions and {gcc,g++}-4 fixes...02:31
=== Yagisan thinks you need more motus for dapper
ajmitchYagisan: of course02:31
ograremember we'll have to support dapper for 5 years02:31
ajmitchmy main problem with UVF this time round was that noone really knew what was happening :)02:31
\shogra: so..we need a good securtiy team02:31
ograso we should totally stick to the schedule as for main02:31
NafalloYagisan: we _always_ need more MOTUs :-)02:31
ograYagisan++02:31
dholbachok, what can we decide on this?02:32
ogradholbach, its over... failures happened... what should we decide here02:32
ograwe *are* in UVF that should be promoted in the channel...02:32
dholbachthat's how i see it too02:32
Nafallodholbach: to learn from previous releases (incl. breezy) mistakes and start following procedures :-)02:33
\shdholbach: that we stay with _MAIN_ schedule for dapper, but it has to be discussed at UBZ how we can achieve a _secure universe_ and how the support of _dapper_ will apply to _universe/multiverse_02:33
ograno wikipage needed02:33
ajmitchogra: we'll have to talk about how lenient we can be with UVF exceptions02:33
ajmitchogra: since we'll probably get the request to import apt-get.org again 02:33
ajmitchor other new stuff 02:33
dholbachthere should be good reasons, but we shouldnt be completely anal02:33
Yagisanfor secure universe - I think new updates as required should be ok02:34
ograajmitch if the fix something ad are tested well and dont introduce additional breakage, exceptions are fine02:34
\shajmitch: regarding UVF for dapper, we have to comply with _main_ rules...so ogra and dholbach have to approve02:34
ajmitch\sh: just those 2?02:34
NafalloYagisan: rather backports of fixes...02:34
NafalloYagisan: where possible that is...02:34
dholbach. o O { as if we didnt have other stuff to do  :-) }02:34
YagisanNafallo: of course02:34
dholbachajmitch: no, we'll agree on a team02:34
\shajmitch: for me ogra and dholbach are the leads...so if they share their responsibilty it's up to them :)02:34
Nafallokismet wasn't possible ;-)02:34
ajmitchdholbach: we 'sort of' had a team for breezy for UVF ;)02:34
dholbachbut let's go ahead, if you don't mind - i really don't fancy building a complex rule system02:34
dholbachajmitch: yeah :)02:35
ajmitchI don't like complex rules02:35
YagisanNafallo - neither is tor (was that fixed ??)02:35
ogradholbach, we'll need one if we have a 5 year support cycle02:35
ajmitchjust ones that work, and let us get dapper rocking by release ;)02:35
\sh*ALL*: lets discuss it at UBZ ;)02:35
\shwith a beer ,-)02:35
dholbachogra: we will manage02:35
Nafallo\sh: I can't go :-P02:35
ajmitch\sh: not everyone will be there02:35
=== Yagisan can't get to UBZ
ogra\sh, yup02:35
=== Lathiat isn't going either
=== Yagisan will attend birth of child instead
ograwe'll make a IRC based BOF about it ;)02:35
ajmitchYagisan: oh, congrats :)02:36
=== Nafallo will move his girlfriend home ;-)
Lathiat:)02:36
\shajmitch: I think we're enough to discuss this...and prepare a proposal for agreeing with the rest...02:36
ajmitchogra: like UDU? :)02:36
ajmitch\sh: yep02:36
ograajmitch yup02:36
ajmitch\sh: as long as canadian beer is good, we'll be fine ;)02:36
\shYagisan: congrats02:36
Treenaksogra: I _will_ be coming :)02:36
Nafallo... and congrats Yagisan :-)02:36

=== Yagisan should find more customers
ogradholbach, 5 years with broken packages in universe are quite bad... "we'll manage" isnt enough02:37
dholbachogra: i didnt say that we should upload everything that gets in our hands, did i? :)02:37
ajmitchogra: so we need to recruit more :)02:37
ogradholbach, nope, but "we'll manage" isnt "we'll have to stich to release plans"02:38
dholbachi just stated, that we shouldnt agree on something for the next release now02:38
ograstick too02:38
ajmitchdholbach++02:38
Nafalloor get canonical to pay someone for a secure universe :-P02:38
\shogra: well...lets hear other voices about how we have to handle universe/multiverse for dapper, because officially it's not "supported" as _main_ is02:38
ajmitch\sh: no, but universe is important02:38
\shajmitch: it is for sure...02:38
=== ajmitch doesn't know where he'll be in 5 years :)
ogra\sh, universe will be closed as main will at release02:39
\shajmitch: but I don't think, putting a 5 years support (server side) or 3 years (desktop side) on volunteers back02:39
siretartogra: I think if you really want to improve the over package quality in universe, we should rather take package from debian/testing instead of debian/unstable, or establish a 'testing' distribution on our own02:39
dholbachhrm02:39
siretartplus manual uploads02:39
ograsiretart, thats a no go02:39
ajmitch\sh: UniverseSecurity was written to be best-effort02:39
siretartogra: I know02:39
Yagisansiretart - that would miss packages like mine02:39
\shogra: for sure...that's not the questions...the question is: release snapshot 6.04 -> supporting 3 years a package base of >10k 02:39
ajmitchtesting is often less stable than unstable02:39
ograsiretart, what enables us to have 6 month releases it the non existence of "testing"02:40
Nafallo\sh: I agree with you fwiw. we can't have support for universe in dapper. please convince people on UBZ about that ;-).02:40
Kamionofficially the support just covers main02:40
KamionAFAIK02:40
Kamionbut the better universe can be made, the better02:40
Kamion(obviously)02:40
ograKamion++02:40
ajmitchKamion: most likely, but people will want to run universe packages02:40
siretartogra: I'm clear and happy about that disicion. 02:40
dholbachand we should make more use of *-{updates,security} (and no, this is no argument for lax rules)02:40
Yagisanwell we will have dapper-updates for a reason02:40
ajmitchdholbach: agreed02:40
ograsiretart, and grabbing from debian testing will give us more outdated SW02:41
siretartthe other possibility would be to use dapper-updates for less than critical bugfixes02:41
\shKamion: this is one point we should discuss at UBZ...how we see universe as one piece of work (even seeing it only community/volunteer supported) for dapper02:41
siretartafter dapper release. 02:41
ograYagisan, yes as we have hoary and warty udates02:41
ajmitchsounds like UBZ might have a few universe BOFs :)02:41
ograyup02:41
Yagisanogra: but they don't get much use02:41
siretartyup, we should have02:41
ograYagisan, they do for the purposed they were made for02:41
ogra-d02:42
\shogra: are they usefull for universe as well? if so, how do we use them? ,-)02:42
ajmitchok, how much mroe can we discuss this now?02:42
ajmitchs/mroe/more/02:42
ogranothing, lets move it to UBZ02:42
dholbachajmitch: we should agree to defer02:42
ajmitchok02:42
dholbachyeah, next item?02:42
=== ajmitch needs his beauty sleep sometime ;)
\sh Transitions, Testbuilds etc. Last workload to fix (StephanHermann) (status report)02:42
ograjust make sure we dont have anybody introducing any breakage in breezy *now*02:42
\shI pointed most of the things out on the wiki page...02:42
\sh CXX Transition is done. 02:43
ajmitchogra: well I'll have a new upstream for f-spot next week, but I know what bugs it fixes :)02:43
dholbachexcellent02:43
ograajmitch thats ok :)02:43
\sh Unmet Deps -> slomo said 92 packages are left...02:43
dholbachi will write a script that will take the popcon info and the test-build info and merge them02:43
ograsounds good for 3 weeks left02:43
slomo\sh: 88 source packages... including main ones02:43
\shslomo: ok...88 :)02:44
ogra:)02:44
\shsome of them are haskell stuff02:44
ajmitchsome of the unmet deps are old, crufty, and some of them are removed from debian02:44
Nafallobaah. I read popcorn. I want a script for making popcorn :-P.02:44
\shso ghc6 specialists are needed ;)02:44
siretartsistpoty?02:44
siretart;)02:44
ograNafallo, write it, youre a MOTU :)02:44
sistpotyhm... i can't say I'm a specialist ;) but i'll give my best;)02:44
\sheverything which is not fixable, no new upstream, no new work, should be listed asap on morgue02:44
ogranope02:45
ograonly stuff users wont demand...02:45
\shogra: please add a && in between the points02:45
ograeven if it doesnt build, the source might be good to have02:45
\shor s/\,/\&\&/02:45
slomofor the haskell stuff... it is behind my name on the unmet deps page... but everybody can take the stuff, i will get to it in 2 weeks otherwise (no time before that :( )02:45
ogras/doesnt build/is not fixable, no new upstream, no new work/02:46
sistpotyslomo: ok02:46
ajmitch2 weeks from now is < 1 week from release, right?02:46
ograyup02:46
ajmitchso we'd better help out as much as we can02:46
\shsistpoty: please check then hmake ;)02:46
\shor slomo ;)02:46
sistpoty' \sh:  i will ;)02:46
\shsistpoty: thx :)02:46
NafalloI can check slomo :-)02:46
slomo\sh: i already tried to fix it... isn't that easy ;)02:46
sistpotyhehe02:46
\shOk...another important thing is:02:47
\shtestbuilds running now and again 02:47
\shyou can find the logs to those testbuilds on http://people.ubuntu.com/~lamont/buildLogs/Test/02:47
dholbach> "i will write a script that will take the popcon info and the test-build info and merge them"  :)02:47
Nafallohmm, we need an ografying effect on that URL :-)02:48
dholbachhow is the gl/glu transition going on?02:48
\shimportant note: The testbuilds are not synced with the actual builds, so it's a snapshot of a certain date02:48
ograNafallo, dholbachs script will do...02:49
Nafallok. I like those colorthingies :-). much easier to see what happens :-)02:49
\shwhen u need some informations about those outputs...please ask infinity or lamont, they can help you to understand ;)02:49
dholbachhow is the gl/glu transition going on?02:50
dholbachare there much untransitioned items still?02:50
ograNafallo, true, but as long as it runs through my own server i'd like to keep the traffic low... bunzipping on the fly is cpu consuming ;)02:50
Nafalloogra: hehe :-)02:50
siretartdholbach: I must admit, that I lost the overview, sorry :(02:50
dholbachi guess, we will find them in the test-rebuild list02:51
\shHere is what I got when running the above (Updated 2005-09-15): (BarrydeFreese)02:51
\shboson-base, felt, galan, ghc-cvs, ghc5, libsdl-erlang, ncbi-tools6, poker3d02:51
Nafallopoker3d is fixed when I runned it 4 days later.02:51
\shok02:53
siretartboson-base is a beast, I tried and failed :(02:53
\shsiretart: even new upstream (from real upstream) is buggy02:53
siretartoh02:53
siretart:/02:53
\shas many of sources on worldforge02:53
ajmitchghc5 can be dropped, as can ghc-cvs?02:53
\shthere are many things from old kde sources included which is fcking shit02:54
sistpotyhm... -cvs seems to be a cvs snapshot... if we pull newest sources it shouldn't be that hard to get it to work02:54
\shsistpoty: nescessary to have it for breezy?02:54
Nafalloyepp, still the same except poker3d :-)02:54
sistpoty' \sh: no02:54
=== Nafallo updates the wiki
\shsistpoty: so leave it as broken package or remove the binaries by elmo and leave it as source? ,-)02:56
Yagisanis it possible (in future) for when we upload something to revu02:56
sistpoty' \sh: a old version of the -cvs is almost useless... ;)02:56
Yagisanthat we can get it autobuild on all ubuntu arches02:57
\shsistpoty: ok...so morgue02:57
Yagisanwith build logs sent to us ?02:57
\shYagisan: if you provide an amd64 + ppc?02:57
ograYagisan, we have the buildds for that...02:57
\sh+ ia64 + sparc64? ,-)02:57
\shand sparc32 ,-)02:57
NafalloI wish tiber was amd64 so that we could build amd64+i386 :-)02:58
ograrevu is for review, a testbuild on one arch is a nice goddie, but cant replace the real buildds02:58
sistpotyYagisan: autobuilding on i386 is planned however ;)02:58
siretartdeveloper machines would be nice ;)02:58
Yagisanyep - but it's nice to fix the bugs  before that get into universe02:58
Yagisans/that/they02:58
ograi think thats something to address at UBZ02:58
\shyes02:59
ajmitchonce launchpad is fully operational, people will be able to do autobuilds on canonical's servers02:59
NafalloYagisan: that's why everyone builds them and leave a comment? ;-)02:59
siretartwow02:59
ajmitchsince they just commit a branch, and request a build of that branch02:59
ajmitchafaict02:59
ajmitchit's some serious crack going on there ;)02:59
Nafallosiretart: ey! could we have checkboxes? tested on: [X]  amd64 [X]  i386 [X]  ppc ?02:59
sistpotyNafallo: good idea ;)03:00
siretartNafallo: would be possible, file a bug in trac ;)03:00
Yagisanvery good idea03:00
lamontajmitch: that is correct03:00
Nafallohmm, where is this trac-thingie? :-P03:00
ajmitchlamont: about the crack? :)03:00
lamontalthough first-launch you only get FCC architectures, I believe.03:00
lamontno, about what launchpad does.03:01
sistpotyNafallo: http://revu.tauware.de/cgi-bin/trac.cgi03:01
ajmitchlamont: right03:01
\shhttp://revu.tauware.de/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/03:01
ajmitchwhat other meeting topics? .desktop files?03:02
\shyes...when we have time we should also work on them03:02
sistpotyis there some doc to .desktop files?03:02
ajmitchthere are some wiki pages03:03
ajmitchit's fairly basic to write the files03:03
sistpotyk03:03
ajmitchmoderately easy to get them installed with the package03:03
\shchecking before if upstream (== debian and real) has one. if not, then create one, if yes, include it03:03
Nafalloticket 5 filed :-)03:04
ajmitchdebian often has the menu file, which can be converted I believe03:04
Lathiatwith menu-xdg03:04
siretartajmitch: for very basic things, perhaps. xdg and .desktop files are more mighty, I think..03:05
ajmitchsiretart: sure, but we usually just want something basic so a user can start an app03:05
ograbut they are essential for g-a-i03:05
siretartright, too03:05
ajmitchright, I forgot about g-a-i using them03:05
