Riddellthat's a reasoned argument, all very well behaved12:52
viviersflol12:53
Tonio_note that I agree with you, I defenitly love kde better than anything else, but I thought that in front of gnome fans that could be seen like a kind of joke, or gentle provocation ;)12:53

SimeRiddell: what would also be handy is a list of which configuration utils are still needed.09:20
SimeRiddell: and which config utils need improvement.09:21
SimeRiddell: i've got some ideas, but I'm curious as to what everyone else thinks.09:22
Riddelljjesse: am working on docs spec now09:22
jjessehow's it going?09:22
Riddelljjesse: fine, I need to ask corey about packaging.  I also put in a note about We will use the Ubuntu Docs repository so it's clear we arn't forking like froud wanted09:23
jjessegood09:24
RiddellSime: there is a bunch of suggestions on the current KubuntuSystemTools spec09:24
SimeRiddell: ...but not on the wiki yet.09:25
jjesseRiddell: well according to InclusionofDocumentation Daniel Holbach will be building the packages and uploading them09:25

mornfall(thanks go to Torsten Marek)10:46
mvomornfall: great news10:46
Riddellhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuPackageManager210:46
mornfallthe API will expand with adept 2 of course (the C++ one, and i believe torsten will follow)10:46
mvoI would like to make some comments about the feature goals for adept2 10:47
mornfallyes, go ahead10:47
mvo>  automatic dependency tracking of some kind10:47
mvothis is going to be in libapt, daniel burrows (aptitude) and I where working on this and we ported the aptitude code into libapt10:48
mvoI would love if you would have a look and use that if that suits your needs10:48
mvoit's in a baz branch, not yet mirrored 10:48
mvo>  make it possible to hide the konsole somehow, unless it's needed for user interaction 10:48
mornfallfor that, yes, i have seen the apt code10:49
mvothere is a status_fd thing in libapt now that can be used for that, it should be fairly easy to integrate10:49
mornfallit broke my old code silently, i couldn't not notice :p10:49
mvomornfall: it was improved a lot in the last couple of days, daniel and I worked on it10:50
mvomornfall: did you use the apt--auto-mark branch? or how did it broke your code?10:50
mornfallmvo: the status fd10:50
mvo> advanced problem resolution algorithm10:50
mornfallthe breakage was due to fact that a virtual function changed signature, so my override didn't get called anymore10:50
mvodaniel burrows did some great work in this area for aptitude and wrote a paper about it10:51
mvowe will very likely integrate it into libapt and make it availabe for the frontends10:51
mvothe paper is really great10:51
mornfalli have seen the code in action (haven't seen the paper)10:51
mvo>  individual .deb installation10:52
mvohow do you plan to do this? I'm curious because I hacked it into apt a while ago but wasn't happy with the result. I tried a different approach that just analyzes the deb and sees if it can satisfy the dependencies10:52
mornfallwell, two alternatives10:52
mornfalleither make a local repo or install with dpkg and run fixing pass on the result10:53
mvoI hope my comments are helpful, I'm happy to help if I can (and feel guilty that I don't work on libapt-front)10:53
mornfalli guess i prefer first (it also gives you archival of the installed stuff)10:53
mornfallyes, no problem... i'd like to see more things adopt the libapt-front api of course :)10:54
mvomornfall: a third alternative would be to analyze the debs dependencies before the install (with libapt-inst and see if the dependencies make sense). that's what I'm currently trying to do10:54
mvoas soon as I switched from svn to bzr/baz I will make a libapt-front branch10:55
mornfallfor analyzing dependencies10:57
mornfallthe right thing IMO would be to have the package graph in apt more flexible10:57
mornfallso you could drop in packages10:57
mornfallin the long run10:58
mvoI think daniel burrows new resolver can do that10:58
mvowe will (hopefully) be able to have both in apt soon10:58
mvoso that you can activate it in apt with "--new-resolver" and use it in the frontends easily10:58
mvodo you think the status_fd stuff is usefull for you?10:59
mornfalli would like to see a complete interface supporting that, not only the resolver though :) (like getting an entity::Package for it, etc)10:59
mornfallstatus fd, yes, i think so...10:59
mvogreat. 11:00
mornfallthat's what i planned to use from the start11:00
mvoI hope to get translated package descriptions in as well11:00
mvogreat again :)11:00
mornfallfor i18n, well, yeah, libapt-front is a bit behind, i didn't really get around that... shouldn't be -that- bad though11:00
mvoit should be really easy (if it gets in and I get matts ok etc) for you to hook into it11:01
mornfallbtw, is there some plan to work on the fetcher api?11:01
mornfallit's a bit... klunky11:02
mornfalli was thinking about just redoing it around libcurl, but haven't gotten any further than contemplating11:02
mvowe have at least some documentation for it now (in the --doxygen branch that will be mreged when I come back)11:02
mvoyeah, libcurl would be nice (and shuldn't be too hard)11:03
mvoI don't think I'll have a chance to have a look though11:03
mvowhat do you think about some abstraction for "update" and "fetching packages"?11:03
mvothat should be doable in a reasonable amount of time11:03
mornfalli have those in libapt-front11:04
mvohttp://people.debian.org/~dburrows/model.pdf11:04
mornfallthey need some work11:04
mvoright, maybe they can be used as a starting point?11:04
mvothe url is daniels paper11:06
Riddellmornfall, mvo: for the kde equivalent gnome-app-install is it best to start with gnome-app-install and port to KDE or start with ept and make a simple user interface?11:06
=== seth_k|lappy [n=seth@d-ip-129-15-215-153.wireless.ou.edu] has joined #kubuntu-devel
mornfallRiddell: start with ept11:08
mornfallRiddell: i also suspect it could be done a lot more efficiently than what gnome-app-install does11:09
Riddellmornfall: efficient in which way?11:09
mornfallRiddell: not needing to make all those .desktop files11:10
mornfallRiddell: it could make use of some sort of icon mapping, but short descriptions (and their translations) and package selection can be done in other ways11:10
mvomornfall: we can't really avoid this I think. one problem is that we want to pressed with stuff that we haven't fetched yet (universe may not be enable in ubuntu)11:10
mornfallRiddell: for the first, apt database should do (with i18n support), for latter, i'd prefer debtags11:10
mvomornfall: the other problem is that a major feature is that it represents the menu strucutre11:11
mvoso the menu information must be availabe11:11
mvoit not needed to put it in desktop files of course11:11
mornfallmvo: hmm, okey, that may be a problem... but last time i have seen gnome-app-install, the list was *huge*11:11
mvoyes, that is definitely a problem11:11
mvoit's a design goal to have most useful applications availabe even if the "universe,multiverse" stuff is not enabled11:12
mornfalland reflecting a menu structure, you need the icon and categories (and that's about it)11:12
mornfalland those can be done easily with debtags, i'd say11:12
mornfalljust make special-icon and special-category facets11:12
mornfalldebtags supports multiple data sources well11:13
mornfallso you can ship this separately11:13
mornfallhmm11:14
mvoright, so if it can be done in that way I don't really mind11:14
mornfallokey, there's still a problem with packages having multiple binaries11:14
mvoI just want to tell why we did it that way :)11:14
mvo(knowing that it's not really the most elegant way)11:14
mornfallif you stick to the .desktop files, i can still easily parse them11:15
mvofor g-a-i we will stick to desktop files because I will not be able to change the code to use something new for dapper (there are way too many open tasks)11:16
mornfalli will just see, i guess :)11:16
mvobut it's fine of course if you just use this desktop files and convert them to something else :)11:16
Riddellmornfall: any thoughts about making the sources.list editor more friendly11:17
Riddelli.e. at the moment it's just a grid of sources.list, but synaptic does nice things to make it more human readable11:17
mornfallmvo: if something, i'll probably convert it to a tagfile and add support for it to libapt-front11:17
mornfallRiddell: well, there's a definitive problem with synaptic's one -- you can't just paste a sources.list line you get there11:17
mvook, it would be nice if you would keep me in the loop if you do it11:17
mornfallRiddell: which is probably the most common use case ever11:17
mornfallmvo: sure11:18
mornfallRiddell: the other would be enabling/disabling/removing lines and adding/removing components11:18
mvothere is a "custom" button to paste sources.list entries11:18
mvowe hopefully have sources.list.d support soon 11:18
mornfallmvo: oh, why that? sources.list.d sounds evil11:19
mornfallmvo: i definitely hate it in apt-rpm11:19
mvomornfall: why don't you like it?11:19
mvolooks very useful to me?11:19
mornfallmvo: it complicates nearly everything related to managing sources11:19
mornfallmvo: want to disable one? need to find which file it is in... want to add one? need to figure where it belongs11:20
mvobut that's really not too hard. it makes adding stuff to sources.list in a automatic way incredible easy11:20
mornfallmvo: if it had hundreds of well-groupable items, i wouldn't say anything... but with the couple of lines it has, i'd say .d is overkill11:21
mornfallmvo: and adding to a flat file is hard?11:21
mornfallmvo: i'd say that if there's choice between "make a bit harder for user" and "make a bit harder for programs", i'd pick the latter11:21
mvomornfall: it makes me very nervous to mess with the sources.list file. if I'm able to just add a file if the user clicks on "add something" and just remove that again if the clicks on "remove something" that makes me me less nervous11:22
mvosources.list files tend to get pretty big for users quickly. especially if we get more sources.list entries (something that is planed)11:23
mornfallmvo: hmm, i haven't thought about it that way... and what happens if the user puts something in that "something" file and then clicks remove on that original "something" he added with a program?11:23
mvoobviously there will be some sanity checks, but I tend to think of the sources.list.d think as something that should really be auto-managed11:23
mvobut I agree that it's not perfect and has some semantic problems. but that can be easily hidden from the user11:24
mornfallmvo: unless he tries to use a text editor on it (and many will)11:25
mvoI tend to think that it really should be fine11:25
mvoi'm pretty sure we will get it, but we won't force anyone to use it11:25
mvoit's all optinonal11:25
mvoand there is a open whishlist bug about it on the debian page that is really old11:26
Riddell* mvo runs to the toilet11:26
mornfallas long as you keep the sources.list file and it takes precedence, i'm all fine with it11:26
mornfall(you actually make life harder for libapt-front too, since i will have to add code to merge those files)11:27
Riddellmornfall: any more thoughts on whether you want to try for a bounty again with this or if that's too much stress and you want to move on to new things11:28
mornfallRiddell: if you think bounty is possible, why not11:28
mornfallRiddell: i did it once, guess i can do it again :)11:28
mornfallif no, well, no catastrophe happens11:29
mvomornfall: sources.list will still be available, yes11:29
mornfalland i always need cash, i'm a poor guy11:29
mornfallmvo: btw, i'm wondering how to approach with the libapt vs libapt-front split...11:30
=== mvo makes his own life harder as well as the synaptic edito will need to cope with it as well
mornfallmvo: the overlap is growing...11:30
mvoin what way?11:30
mornfalllet's say sources.list parser11:31
mornfalli have my own, that can also write out the file11:31
mornfalland do changes to it11:31
mvoright. would that we something that can be ported to libapt?11:31
mvoor do you rather want to have it seperated?11:31
mornfallmvo: the problem is, it's written using apt-front/utils... so direct port to libapt is not feasible11:32
mvoI think the overlap should be as small as possible11:32
Riddellsurely libapt already has a sources.list parser?11:32
mvowhat bits of utils are needed and can they be put into libapt?11:33
mornfallnow, the problems are: libapt is managed with baz/bzr, libapt-front with svn/svk11:34
mornfalllibapt-front api is radically different from libapt11:34
mvois that the case for stuff like "sources.list" class as well?11:34
mvohave you tried bzr yet? you may like it, it's really well done (also very new)11:35
mornfallwell, libapt-front's aptFront::Sources uses c++ stream operators11:35
mvowe will be able to merge from svn in the future as well11:35
mvobzr will support that11:35
mornfalland it's using aptFront::utils::Range11:35
mornfallrange in turn needs multitype and shared pointer implementation11:36
mvoIMHO apt can't be switched to libapt-front easily, so we will have to see what can be merged in the best possible way11:36
mornfall*and* i need to be flexible in changing all of this11:37
mvoright, but that is a problem11:37
mornfalli am used to xp/agile style development11:37
mornfallaggressive unit testing, refactoring on the go11:37
mvoI mean, if you need to be flexible, you need to maitain it in your own branch11:37
mornfallwell, i have libapt-front because of that11:38
mvoyes, I know that11:38
mornfallquestion is, if we can converge this somehow11:39
mvoI don't really know what the way forward is here. I can offer you to merge stuff that you feel ready. obviously you will lose flexibility then :/11:39
mornfalli of course could branch of libapt and merge it into libapt-front... but that's not very useful11:39
mvowhy would you want to merge from libapt?11:40
Riddellmornfall: what's the reason for libapt-front to have its own sources.list classes if libapt already does (better API?  more functionality?)11:40
mvoI mean, it's fine to branch from it11:40
mornfallRiddell: both better api and ability to modify the file11:40
mvobut it would be rather unfortunate if you would need your own libapt to support libapt-front ...11:40
mornfallmvo: well, i will eventually reimplement many parts of libapt, so i won't need -much- of it11:42
mornfallmvo: the graph/database access api is first11:42
mornfallmvo: also sources.list11:42
mornfallmvo: i am contemplating the fetcher rewrite11:42
Riddellmornfall: is your hope to eventually obsolete libapt by libapt-front?11:43
mvoyou are free to do whatever you want, but I don't think that apt-get can be depend in the neat future on libapt-front, so apt/libapt needs to be maintained for a certain amount of time11:43
mornfallRiddell: i don't know... i'd prefer a merge of some sort11:43
mornfallmvo: yes i know11:43
mornfallmvo: i don't say rip libapt11:44
mornfallmvo: i can't replace it in the short-term, anyway11:44
mornfallmvo: what i can do is reimplementing the commandline tools with it and making them comparable to apt's own11:44
mvoI can only offer to take stuff for libapt that you feel should be there and I don't mind to put additional util code it as well11:44
Riddellmornfall: I think you should start to throw stuff back at mvo where it would be good for libapt to use what's in libapt-front11:45
mornfallRiddell: that probably won't work, as i need my hands free for development... putting to libapt is sort of like casting it into stone11:46
mornfallsince i have very little influence over apt development, depending on some branch of it would kind of kill me off11:47
mornfallit was enough of a problem with konsolepart, which is much less central to the system11:47
mvomornfall: my point is that you can have a *lot* influence in it's development11:47
mvomornfall: there aren't that many people working on it (matt,me,dburrows)11:48
mvoso it's really easy to influce it's development11:48
mvomy problem is that I can't really put stuff like translated package descriptons into libapt-front because apt won't be able to use it11:49
mvoso I tend to think that certain things have their place in libapt and others in libapt-front11:49
mornfalli'm not sure what has (inherent) place in libapt-front11:49
mvoyou want to have (eventually) everything in libapt-front :)11:50
mornfallthat's because i want it to eventually become libapt :)11:50
mornfallthe point is, what belongs to a library separate from libapt11:51
mvook, I have a appointment in a couple of minutes so I won't be able to be around for much longer11:52
mornfallokey, i will just try to make some sense out of all this11:52
mornfallthe most pressing problem i feel between libapt and libapt-front11:52
mvoI hope I made clear that certain bits are better of in libapt at this point in time. and that benefits both libapt and libapt-front 11:53
mornfallis that we use different paradigms for nearly everything11:53
mornfallfrom version control through development methodology to api11:53
mornfalland coding paradigm and style11:53
mvoyes, I noticed that as well. I don't think this is a bit problem though. because you can easily use (and wrap) stuff from libapt and reimplemnt them when you feel like it11:55
mvoif that is what you want to do anyway, then that's fine11:55
mornfalli do it right now, i am not sure it's the ultimate goal though :)11:55
mornfallbut, we'll see how things evolve11:55
mornfalldon't miss your appointment :)11:55
mvoas I said, I hope we can share as much as possible and I hope you see why I (for example) implemented the translated package descroptions in libapt 11:56
mvo(and not in libapt-front)11:56
mornfallyes of course11:56
mvo(among other things)11:56
mornfalland that's fine11:56
mornfalli don't oppose that at all11:56
mvoI really really want to have close cooperation between the two projects11:56
mornfalli am only worried about the mid-to-long term... for short-term (like dapper), everything will be still fine enough and not much code will overlap11:57
mvogreat, so let's have productive 6 months :)11:58
mvoif there is anything I can do for you (and libapt-front) let me know11:58
mornfallwhen i get the fetcher done, we can maybe see if the libapt-front utils+fetcher+sources.list classes could be shoved into libapt :)11:58
mornfalli am trying to keep things as standalone as possible11:58
mornfallright :)11:59
mvoif you are reimplementing those bits, what about rewriting methods/http.cc with libcurl?11:59
mvoor was that not the thing you had in mind?11:59
mvosorry, didn't wanted to come up with another discussion topic12:00
mvoneed to leave, I'll try to follow the stuff as close as I can12:01
Riddellmornfall: I'll write a spec for this stuff, I'll probably pass it by you, I don't know if it'll get approved at the conference but then we can refine it more if/when we apply for a bounty12:02
Riddelland the bounty stuff would have to be done soon so we aren't rushing again12:02
Riddellend of meeting12:02
Riddellthanks mornfall, mvo that was useful12:02
