tshahI suddenly got assigned a ton of work so I guess I can't do as much as I thought I could do02:40
tshahbut I did make some changes to the FAQ02:40

tshahRiddell, tell me if you want it made differently or any other probs03:21

Riddelltshah: is that right?03:26
tshahsorry http://koshish.res.cmu.edu/tejChanges.diff03:29
Riddelltshah: the changes to 'What does "Kubuntu" mean?' are incorrect03:43
Riddell23:01 < Riddell> ubuntu means love of humanity in zulu/xhosa and other languages, kubuntu means towards humanity in bemba03:43
tshahare you sure about that, I read in wiki differently03:43
Riddellwhich wiki?03:43
tshahhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(ideology)03:43
tshahhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kubuntu03:44
Riddellthe Kubuntu page is wrong03:45
=== Riddell edits
tshahok, sorry about that03:46
tshahso does that mean the "k" in the front being a real word is a coincidence?03:50
tshahI think I will take this guys word for it: http://dot.kde.org/1111118006/1111143814/03:54
tshahso Riddell, how does this sound: "Kubuntu", means "towards humanity" in Bemba. It is simply a coincidence that the "k" in the front also implies that it uses the K Desktop Environment.04:11
apokryphostshah: it was intentional all along, of course ;-)04:13
tshahyeah, it all works out perfecutly in the end :)04:15
tshah*perfectly04:15
Riddelltshah: yes, the k is a prefix (similar to how swahili prefixes kiswahili)04:46

apokryphoson http://kubuntu.org/announcements/breezy-release.php on describing hoary -> breezy upgrade, there really needs to be a mention that users *have* to have *buntu-desktop installed before the upgrade02:15
apokryphoslot of problems caused when that's not the case, it seems02:15
Riddellapokryphos: how else would you "upgrade"?02:22
LathiatRiddell: dist-upgrade when ubuntu-desktop isnt installed02:31
LathiatRiddell: lots of people remove ubuntu-desktop as a result of installign unsupported packages etc02:31
Lathiator well kubuntu-desktop in our case02:32
Riddelldist-upgrade will still work, you just end up with the same programs02:32
=== Mez [n=Mez@66.103.220.193] has joined #kubuntu-devel
LathiatRiddell: i bet stuff was changed around in ubuntu-desktop thats needed02:39
Lathiatx stuff, or whatever02:39
Lathiatapokryphos seems to think so02:40
Lathiatand i've seen it in past upgrades02:40
RiddellLathiat: ok, I'll change that after breakfast02:48
=== viviersf [n=cain@66.103.220.184] has joined #kubuntu-devel
apokryphosyes, dist-upgrade relies on one of the respective metapacks to perform the upgrade successfully (calculate which new packages are needed, which aren't etc). We have it on wiki.b.c/BreezyUpgradeNotes03:26
Riddellapokryphos: wiki.b.c?03:30
apokryphos.u.c, sorry03:30
Riddellbreezy-release.php changed03:35

Riddellpef: you have to sign the code of conduct, which I assume you did on membership, and give elmo your GPG key03:43
Riddellpef: make sure you sign the CoC in launchpad and include your GPG key on launchpad03:44

Mezthat wa sit04:42
Mezkde.mk04:42

Mezor should i do that manually?04:51
pefMez: you need to run make -f Makefile.cvs manually04:58
pefRiddell: ping05:51
Riddellpef: hi05:53
pefRiddell: why konversation doesn't uses kwallet to store authentication parameters ? (nickserv password for example)05:54
Riddellpef: no idea, you'd needto ask konversation developers (ericcartman on #kde-devel)05:55

Riddellgwenview needs a package update (and possibly a sync)06:05
pefRiddell: will work on it06:07
pefmm no...main :/06:08
Riddellpef: please work on it and upload to revu, I'll review and upload to main06:10
pefRiddell: ok !06:10
Riddellyay06:11
pefRiddell: if syncing from Debian, should I add en entry to Debian's changelog, or overwrite Debian's changelog with current Ubuntu's one ?06:14
Riddellpef: merge the changelogs06:14
Riddellstart with debian one, marge in all the ubuntu entries in correct places, then add a new ubuntu one at top06:15
pefRiddell: I think a sync is a good idea, I don't see any ubuntu's changes which can be lost with this sync06:16
Riddellpef: the kubuntu package might have been made with unsermake06:18
Riddellyou can keep doing that (in which case rebuild the .orig) or not bother06:19

Riddellinsanekane: I don't know if Sime is on IRC just now07:12
Riddelljjesse: me and \sh07:12
Riddelljjesse: I think something changed in ubuntu-docs to break it07:12
\shindex.html issue in ff?07:12
insanekaneRiddell: well, not keyboard map ... rather it is a character selector07:12
\shon kubuntu?07:12
insanekaneRiddell: but keyboard maps are better implemented as Helper modules of SCIM, i.e., as an IME07:13
