=== Diablo-D3 is slowly rebuilding kde.
=== \sh is now known as \sh_away
seth_kRiddell, where was I supposed to put "rm -f config.sub" and "rm -f config.guess" again? I put them after clean:: but that seems to have not worked as intended12:28
Diablo-D3shouldnt those be after dist-clean?12:29
Diablo-D3seth_k: Im pretty sure its dist-clean12:29
seth_kah12:30
seth_khttp://pastebin.com/44161212:30
seth_kDiablo-D3, move them down after the ifneq...endif's?12:30
Diablo-D3er, what is that?12:31
Diablo-D3oh!12:31

Diablo-D3seth_k: I thought you were asking about makefiles12:31
Diablo-D3seth_k: yeah, they should be apart of the clean rule methinks12:31
Diablo-D3assuming you actually need to do that at all12:32
=== Diablo-D3 doesnt do debian packaging, btw
=== seth_k ponders why the ifneq...endif constructions are even there
Diablo-D3to recopy the files12:32
seth_kbut I don't want them in there in the first place, do I?12:32
Diablo-D3yeah, something doesnt make sense there12:32
=== seth_k twiddles
Diablo-D3why remove them if you're putting them back12:33
seth_kindeed12:33
Diablo-D3unless thats a hack to update the files12:33
seth_kgrumbles for upstream debian packager person :P12:33
seth_kI'm going to try a build without them12:33
Diablo-D3I dont know if deb builds implicitly cleans before build from clean source12:33
seth_kyeah, that worked12:39
=== Diablo-D3 waits for kdebluetooth to build
alleeseth_k: the config.* handling is nonsense.12:51
alleeseth_k: it maybe even me who introduced it, because the orig version needs to build directly from cvs/svm and from a release tarball.  hack, hack, hack12:52
Diablo-D3hah12:53
Diablo-D3thought so12:53
Diablo-D3that sounded very hacky12:53
Diablo-D3Man, its so much fun having to rebuild kde and lots of things kde depend on12:54
=== hunger_ [n=hunger@p54A630BB.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #kubuntu-devel
alleeseth_k: nevertheless updating config.* is necessary to build on debian 'excotic' architectures.  Just the/my implementation is a bit hackish ;)12:58
Diablo-D3well, this is good.01:09
Diablo-D3most of kde builds01:09
Diablo-D3konq-plugins dont, kde-guidance doesnt01:09
Diablo-D3adept doesnt01:09
Diablo-D3akode doesnt01:09
mornfalladept what?01:18
Diablo-D3build01:19
Diablo-D3the dapper package for adept doesnt build01:19
mornfallwhat dapper package01:23
mornfalli don't know anything about dapper package01:23
Diablo-D3mornfall: are you being dense on purpose?01:23
mornfallDiablo-D3: can you give version number, maybe?01:23
Diablo-D3you do realize this is #kubuntu-devel right?01:24
Diablo-D3where kde for ubuntu development goes on01:24
mornfallah sorry, i will go away then01:24
Diablo-D3mornfall: btw, remind ops in #kde-devel to unban me =(01:24
mornfalli don't see why01:25
Diablo-D3because I'm totally awesome =(01:25
mornfallyeah, you just manage to piss off everyone01:26
mornfallanyhow, what is with adept again? and package version *would* help... don't forget i wrote the damn thing01:26
Diablo-D3lol you wrote it?01:26
mornfalllol yes01:27
Diablo-D3Version: 1.001:27
mornfallso it wasn't updated since breezy01:27
Diablo-D3wow, what a useless version number01:27
=== Diablo-D3 expected like 1.0-ubuntu35820598
Diablo-D3mornfall: if I could get firefox to work right, I'd give you the bug # for it01:28
Diablo-D3its lagging all over the damn place01:28
Diablo-D3and I cant figure out why01:28

HobbseeRiddell: i'm no expert, but it looks like the kdebase is depending on differently named files, so is the solution just to change the dependancies of kdebase to be version 4:3.5.0-0ubuntu0breezy1 instead of 4:3.5.0-0ubuntu1?  Or is my brain massively confused, that I should go to bed?01:08
RiddellHobbsee: for some reason I hadn't reversioned the amd64 kdebase packages to ubuntu0breezy101:09
HobbseeRiddell: but this is i386....01:10

Riddellraphi01:27
Riddellraphink: hi01:27
raphinkhi Riddell 01:27
raphinkthere's a pb with kdm in rc2 Riddell 01:27
Riddellraphink: what's that?01:27
raphinkin kdebase debian/control, kdm is set to depend on kubuntu-default-settings01:28
raphinkthat's a bit weird imho01:28
raphinkall the more that kubuntu-default-settings depends on amarok, adept and others01:28
raphinkso that it's not possible to install kdm without these apps01:28
raphinkor even to install kdm without kubuntu 01:28
raphinkI understand that kubuntu might depend on kdm01:28
Riddellraphink: kubuntu-default-settings only depends on kde-style-lipstik01:28
raphinkhmm01:29
Riddellraphink: kdm needs it for the kdm theme, I can't think of an easy way around it01:29
raphinkwell I couldn't install kdm01:29
raphinkbecause kubuntu packages coiuld not be installed01:29
raphinkRiddell: well I don't think kdm needs a kdm theme01:29
raphinkI mean01:29
raphinkkubuntu metapackages can replace the kdm theme01:29
raphinkand kdm can still install with another them01:29
raphinkcan't it?01:30
raphinks/them/theme/01:30
raphinkwe talked about it with mornfall and both found it funny that a basic deamon such a kdm would depend on a metapackage such as kubuntu-default-settings01:30
Riddellkubuntu-default-settings isa not a metapackage, kubuntu-desktop is the metapackage01:31
raphinkhmmm01:31
raphinkwell ok01:31
raphinkstill kubuntu-default-settings won't install on dapper01:31
raphinkat least on my comp01:31
raphinkso that upgrading to dapper I found myself with no kdm01:31
Riddellkdmrc has to point to the theme files and if it doesn't find the theme files it complains loudly01:31
Riddellkubuntu-default-settings is just waiting on kde-style-lipstik which I'll try and sort today01:32
raphinkwhy don't you replace use a dpkg-divert in kubuntu-default-settings instead?01:32
Riddelldpkg-divert on a config file is a bit scary01:33
raphinkhmm ok01:33
Riddellpossibly a postinstall script to set the theme in kdmrc is the way01:33
raphinkwell some packages propose to replace config files01:33
raphinkmhm01:33
=== verwilst [n=verwilst@212.123.1.32] has joined #kubuntu-devel

Riddellwhat's that?01:36
raphinkhad to run a series of dist-upgrade and -f install to upgrade to dapper01:36
raphinkbecause kdelibs4c2a would install after other packages, that needed it configured to install01:36
raphinkor so it seemed01:37
raphink;)01:38
Hobbseeraphink: ah yes, i vaguely remember having to do that01:39

freeflyingafter upgrade to kde3.5 ,many package dosen't work01:43

raphinkso far, I had to switch back to ati instead of fglrx, rebuild amarok, kdm, baghira01:44
raphinkand others01:44
raphinkmoodin too01:45
raphinkamarok 1.3.5, kwin-baghira and ksplash-engine-moodin built and installed fine01:46

raphinkkdm is set to use the kubuntu theme so it has to be installed 02:14
freeflyingraphink:   after all , you can use kde without kdm 02:15
raphinkit's not the kubuntu-default-settings package the sets kdm to use this theme, but kdm itself that is set to use it with a patch, right?02:15

raphinkand I don't see why, if an ubuntu user wants to use kdm, he should have to install kubuntu packages02:18
raphinkbrb02:19
freeflyingraphink:  kdm may be installed without  kubuntu-desktop 02:19
raphinkyes02:20
raphinkbut not without kubunt-default-settings02:20
raphinks/kubunt-/kubuntu-/02:20
raphinkI wonder if kubuntu-default-settings could not propose to override kdmrc02:21
raphinkso that kdm would keep its default settings02:21
raphinkand kubuntu-default-settings would override it to tune it if installed02:21
raphinkRiddell doesn't seem to like the idea of a dpkg-divert in kubuntu-default-settings02:22
raphinkso I'm wondering, how is it set when packages ask you if you want to keep/replace config files when new config files are proposed by a pacakge?02:22
Riddellraphink: that's if the file is marked as a config file in the .deb02:23
Riddellwhich most files in /etc are02:23
raphinkmhm02:23
raphinkthen couldn't kubuntu-default-settings just propose a new kdmrc ?02:23
Riddellbut if we dpkg-divert kdmrc and someone has edited that kdmrc (including making security changes) those edits will suddenly be lost02:23
RiddellI think a script is the right way to doit02:23
raphinkjust wondering02:23
raphinkhmm02:23
raphinkin what package ?02:23
raphinkkdm or kubuntu-desktop?02:23
freeflyingraphink: i don't think replace user's kdmrc a good idea02:24
raphinkmhm02:24

=== bobuse [n=dumoulin@195.221.117.63] has left #kubuntu-devel ["Kopete]
RiddellI think a postinstall/prerm script is the way forwards02:26

raphinkin what package Riddell ?02:26
raphinkkdm or kubuntu-default-settings?02:26
Riddellraphink: kubuntu-default-settings, to add the theme line to kdmrc02:27
raphinkso you mean a script that would sed the theme settings ?02:27
raphinkin kdmrc02:27
raphinkthat might be the cleanest way02:27
freeflyingRiddell: how about the one just want to kdm instead of kde 02:27
freeflyingRiddell: how about the one just want to use kdm instead of kde 02:28
raphinkfreeflying: what do you mean?02:28
raphinkfreeflying: I also know people who install kde in ubuntu without using the kubuntu packages02:28
freeflyingraphink: if some use icewm and he/she want use kdm 02:28

freeflyingraphink: will they install kubuntu-default-settings?02:29
raphinkthat's why I think it shouldn't depend on kubuntu-default-settings02:29
raphinkso dealing with it with a postinstall/prerm would allow to get rid of kubuntu-default-settings02:29
raphinksince kdm would use its default theme02:30
raphinkand kubuntu-default-settings would override the config02:30
raphinkbut then I wonder if kubuntu-default-settings needs to depend on kdm o_O02:30
Riddell** KDE 3.5 released http://dot.kde.org/1133270759/ **02:30
raphinkbecause then if kdm is installed _after_ kubuntu-default_settings02:30
freeflyingraphink: kdm need not the theme of kubuntu02:30
raphinkyes freeflying 02:31
raphinkI totally agree02:31
raphink_but_02:31
freeflyingRiddell: how about this02:31
raphinkif you installed kubuntu-default-settings, you want to use the kubuntu theme02:31
freeflyingraphink: that can be done by kubuntu-default-settings after installing 02:32
raphinkbut if kubuntu-default-settings uses a postinstall/prerm script, then installing kdm _after_ kubuntu-default-settings will override the kubuntu theme I guess02:32
raphinkor will it propose to keep it?02:32
raphinkyou don't understand what I mean freeflying 02:32
freeflyingraphink: you can not  install after kubuntu-default-settings02:32
raphinkI mean if kdm is installed _after_ kubuntu-default-settings02:33
raphinksince kubuntu-default-settings doesnt depend on kdm02:33
raphinkwhy so freeflying ?02:33
raphinkwhy couldn't I install after kubuntu-default-settings?02:33
Riddellso we need a postinall script for kdm as well, if kubuntu-default-settings is already installed, then use the theme.  how complex02:34
raphinkRiddell: I'm not sure02:34
freeflyingraphink: kdm depend on kubuntu-default-settings02:34
raphinkif kdmrc is already present and the kdm package wants to install it again, it will prompt the user and default choice will be to keep the existing file, which will have been set by kubuntu-default-settings02:34
raphinkright?02:34
freeflyingso now ,in dapper you will not install kdm without kubuntu-default-settings02:35
freeflyingraphink: sure02:35
raphinkfreeflying: yes that's how it is now, but it shouldn't be so02:35
freeflyingyeah02:35
raphinkthis is how I see it :02:35
raphink1) if kdm is installed before kubuntu-default-settings, then kubuntu-default-settings will modify kdmrc to set it to the kubuntu-theme using sed. That works fine and requires no dependency on either side02:36
freeflyingand the gdm is same as kdm02:36
raphink2) if kubuntu-desktop-settings is installed before kdm, then it creates kdmrc (?) and kdm will ask the user if he wants to replace kdmrc when installing kdm, or keep the version installed by kubuntu-default-settings02:37
raphinkwould that work Riddell ?02:37
raphinkif that works, then the postinstall just needs to :02:37
raphink1) test if kdmrc exists. if it's the case, then sed the theme lines, if not then install one.02:38

raphinkand there's no 2) huhu02:39
freeflyingraphink:  how about use kubuntu theme replace the default kdm theme02:41
raphinkfreeflying: isn't this what I proposed ?02:41
freeflyingthen whatever you install  kubuntu-default-settings  or not .kdm use the kubuntu theme02:42
raphinkhmm that's what happens now02:43
raphink_but_ in order to use the kubuntu them02:43
raphinkyou need to install it ... ;)02:43
raphinkand that's what kubuntu-default-settings do02:43
raphink;)02:43
raphinkand that's the reason why kdm depends on it now02:43
freeflyingraphink: i mean the theme of kdm02:43
raphinkyes that's what I mean too freeflying 02:44
freeflyinghow about Riddell 02:44
raphinkmany packages depend on Riddell ;)02:44
RiddellI don't think kubuntu-desktop-settings can create kdmrc, that would mess things up02:45
raphinkthere should be a standard way of tuning config files with extra packages02:45
raphinkyes Riddell I agree02:45
Riddell1 file two packages is dangerous02:45
raphinkmaybe guys on #debian-custom know a way to do that02:46
raphinkthey're used to using metapackages to tune settings on debian02:46
Riddellbut we can script it I'm sure, kdm goes if kubuntu-default-settings is already installed use theme and kubuntu-default-settings goes if kdm is installed use theme02:46
raphinkhmmm02:46
Riddellor maybe we can script kdmrc to be overridden by another file if it exists02:47
Riddellthat's what happens with all the rest of the kde settings files02:47
raphinkoh ic02:47
raphinkscript kdmrc so it uses a file in /usr/share/kdm for ex02:47
raphinkif if it exists a02:47
Riddellnot script, change it in kdm02:47
raphinkand then kubuntu-default-settings will create this secondary settings02:47
Riddellyes02:47
raphinkhmm yes02:48
freeflyingRiddell:  now you can not install kdm without kubuntu-default-settings02:48
Riddellfreeflying: yes02:48
raphinkpatch kdm so it can grasp settings in /usr/share that override the ones in /etc if they exist02:48
freeflyingthe simple way is make kubuntu-default-settings depends kdm 02:48
freeflying:)02:48
Riddellraphink: that would be the nicest thing, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to do02:48
raphinkfreeflying: that's not clean02:48
raphinkyes Riddell it woudln't be easy, but it could benefit most distros02:49
raphinkso maybe that could be something to work out with kdm devs02:49
freeflyingraphink:  but simple is the best02:49
raphinkdoesn't it exist yet?02:49
raphinkfreeflying: no I don't agree02:49
raphinkfreeflying: with such solutions, you would have weird dependencies all around02:50
raphinkand you would end up not being able to install a simple ubuntu server without ksplash-engine-moodin02:50

freeflyingthat' my fault ,  i used to put them directly into font dir instead of a deb file 03:42
minghuafreeflying: well, then I'm more skeptical - did you check that installing uming and ukai will have the embedded bitmap enabled immediately?03:43
minghuafreeflying: or the user still need to fiddle with their ~/.fonts.conf themselves?03:43
minghuafreeflying: as I said, if embedded bitmap is not enabled, uming looks exactly like gbsn00lp03:44
freeflyingminghua: in the version of ubuntu-cn , uming  is set to be the default03:45
minghuafreeflying: the question is not if uming is default or not, it's if the embedded bitmap is enabled or not03:48
freeflyingminghua:  http://wiki.kubuntu.org/MainInclusionReportTtfarphicuming03:50
freeflyingminghua:  I think if uming and ukai can be included in main , we can make it works without user's configure on it too much 03:53
minghuafreeflying: as I said, I am glad to see your main-inclusion proposal, but I think these two things are independent - we can start improving uming package even if it's still in universe03:56

JReewho is in charge of backports and extra? Mez ?08:31
=== JRee is now known as JRe
Riddellnot mez but he's involved08:31
JReRiddell: who is involved else ?08:32
JRes/else/also/08:32
RiddellJRe: I'm not too sure08:33
JReRiddell: ok i'll contact Mez08:33
RiddellJRe: what do you want backported?08:34
JReRiddell: in fact it's more extras i want to package some nice window decorations and style (like smoothblend, ...)08:34
JReRiddell: and i wanted to know if it could be a thing which could be nice in breezy-extras08:35
RiddellJRe: get them in dapper, then do backports08:35
Riddellisn't extras for illegal stuff like acrobat reader?08:36
JReRiddell: yay good idea i'll investigate which are the best and send it out to revu08:36
raphinkhmm08:36
raphinkdoesn't `sed -e 's/$string/$otherstring/' < $file' replace in the file?08:36
seaLnewouldn't have thought so08:39
seaLne-i08:40
raphinkhmm08:40
alleeraphink: please:   sed -e "s/splashimage=.*/$SPLASHLINE/" < "$GRUBCONF"08:42
raphinkhmmm ok I'll try that08:42
alleeraphink: no " around $SPASHLINE, otherwise you break when a space is included08:42
raphinkyes I guess allee 08:42
raphinkbut then it still won't work08:42
raphinkwhen I run the script08:43
raphinkit prints what the file would look like once the string replacedc08:43
alleeraphink: then the problem is somewhere else :)  Add an echo $SPLASHLINE before the set08:43
raphinkbut it doesn't replace it in the file08:43
alleeraphink: yes sed print by default to stdout.   add  > $output at the end ;)08:43
raphinkok08:44
raphinkthat erases the file now ...08:44
raphinkdon't get it08:44
raphinkI have08:45
raphink        sed -e "s/splashimage=.*/$SPLASHSED/" "$GRUBCONF" > "$GRUBCONF"08:45
raphinknow08:45
raphinkI checked that $SPLASHSED contains what I want just before that line and it's ok08:45
alleeraphink: har, you shot yourself :)08:45
raphinkand "$GRUBCONF" contains /boot/grub/menu.lst so that's fine too08:45
alleeraphink: > GRUB.NEW; mv GRUB.new GRUB08:45
seaLneraphink: man sed and look at -i08:45
raphinkallee: do you think I'm crazy ? ;) I have a backup ;)08:46
raphinkhehe08:46
raphinkok08:46
raphinkoh ic08:46
raphinkok seaLne 08:46
alleesed -i need a version depends.  It's a relatively new feature. (Helps backporting ;)08:46
raphinkok08:47
alleeraphink: mhnn  NOOOO.  Don't replace silently.  Keep a copy of whatever was on disk before08:47

alleeIs this done in an postinst script?08:49

alleeafk that is08:50
raphinkok08:50
raphinkallee: http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/44259108:51
raphinkwhat do you think?08:51
raphinkthis is a postinst for a package installing splashimages for grub as you can guess ;)08:53
seaLne16 you move the file 17 you try to append to a non existant file08:54
seaLneshould be a cp?08:54
raphinkhehe thanks seaLne 08:54
raphinkyou're right ;)08:55
seaLnesame with 2208:55
raphinkyeah it's cp of course :)08:55
raphinkhmm no08:55
seaLneare you creating the temp file safely?08:55
raphink22 is fine08:55
raphinkhehe I guess not 08:56
raphinkI'll do that 08:56
seaLnecp is safer dosen't leave you without one in the event of a problem08:56
raphinkis that better for the tmp seaLne ? 08:57
raphinkhttp://kubuntu.pastebin.com/44259708:57
raphinkhmmf it's : 08:58
raphinkGRUBCONFTMP=`mktmp "$GRUBCONF".new.XXXXXXXX`;08:58
seaLneprobably, not sure what the recomended way is08:58
raphinkwhat do you think allee ?08:59
alleemhmm the .dpkg-old is too simple ;)  When you run it the second time your original file is gone :(09:04
raphinkyes09:06
alleeso maybe .orig-before-kubuntu-splash.  When this file already exist, don't make a new copy?09:06
raphinklol09:06
raphinkwell then I can use .dpkg-old aswell09:07
raphinkit's not known by any package that I know of09:07
alleetry locate dpkg-old09:07
raphinkok 09:08
alleebut menu.lst in not part of a package.  So dpkg will never create a .dpkg-old version ;)09:08
raphinkargh kio-apt won't install09:08
raphinkgrrr09:08
raphinkI'll have fun with my demerge tool then 09:09
raphinkhehe09:09
raphinkapart from that, does it seem ok to you allee ?09:09
raphinkhttp://kubuntu.pastebin.com/44262409:10
raphinkallee: if dpkg.old files are generated by postinstall scripts like mine, I won't find them in apt09:10
alleethey are created during conffile upgrades.09:12
raphinkok09:12
alleeyeah. .dpkg-old is save.09:12
alleejust a bit cheating09:12
raphinkhehe09:12
alleebecause menu.lst is no conffile09:12
allee:)09:12
raphinkdo I have to test if it already exists?09:13
raphinkwell some packages use _backup09:13
raphinkso I could use that too09:13
raphinkmenu.lst_backup09:13
alleeyes, otherwise runing the script a second time will override the original09:13
raphinkhmmm09:14
raphinkthat's what happens very often09:14
raphinklike with the ati driver installer for example09:15
raphinkif I run it once, it saves to xorg.conf_backup09:15
raphinkif I run it twice, I lose my original xorg.conf09:15
raphinkmany packages do that09:15
raphinkand then let's say09:16
raphinkI have been using my package for quite a time09:16
alleeati is a bad example.09:16
alleeGet the upgrade  right is nontrival.  I guess that's the reason why debian implemented generic conffile handling09:16
raphinkand the .orig-before-kubuntu-splash has already been created09:16
raphinkand I want to reset the kubuntu-splash package09:17
raphinkso I run dpkg-reconfigure on it09:17
raphinkbut I want my current settings to be saved09:17
alleecp --backup ?09:17
raphink?09:18
alleecp --help09:18
allee:)09:18
raphinkyes 09:18
raphinkit says archive each destination file09:18
raphinkI don't know how it archives it09:18
raphinkI'll try09:19
alleeone gets x x~ x~1 x~2 etc with each new cp --backup f x09:19
raphinkic09:20
raphinkhmm09:21
raphinkI ran it twice09:21
raphinkand there's only one ~09:21
raphinkso it doesn't seem to work09:21
raphinkit creates the ~ only once09:21
raphinkand replaces it each time09:21
raphink;)09:22
raphinkthere's no easy solution I guess09:22
raphinkand crowding the /boot/grub/ folder with lots of saved conffiles is no solution either09:22
raphinkthe user would forget which one he has saved09:22
raphinkanother solution, used sometimes09:23
raphinkis to name the saved file : .YYYYMMDDHHMMSS09:23
raphinkbut then you can end up with tons of saved files09:23
raphink;)09:24
alleecp --backup=t09:24
alleethen add: cmp $old $new || cp --backup=t   :)09:24
raphinkhmmm09:26
raphinkhmm ok09:27
raphinkor cp $old $old.`date +%y%m%d%H%M%s`09:28
raphinkhehe09:29
raphinkthat's a bit of brute force09:29
raphinkbut at least then you remember when you saved it ;)09:29
raphinkhehe09:29
raphinkmaybe %s is not required09:30
raphinkand stopping at %M might be enough ;)09:30
raphinkallee ?09:30
alleemhm?09:31
raphinkwhat do you think of using cp $old $old.`date +%y%m%d%H%M` ?09:31
raphink;)09:31
alleewell, keep the seconds they don't hurt09:31
raphinkhehe ok09:32
raphinkthey make it 2 numbers longer ;)09:32
allee'linux' has no 8.3 filename restriction ;)09:32
raphinkyes that's right09:32
raphinkbut my eyes get tired after a certain amount of numbers in range09:33
raphinkit's  though09:35
raphinkthat's why it was so long09:35
raphinkoops09:35
raphinkI mean \09:36
raphinkgree09:36
raphink% S09:36
raphinknah09:36
raphink:)09:36
raphinkdoes there has to be a prerm?09:36
alleeI would assume yes09:42
raphinkwhat does it have to do?09:42
alleecan't we use dpkg-divert or update-alternatives instead?09:43
alleeraphink: revert that the postinst has done 09:43
raphinkthat's not possible I guess09:43
raphinkunless it removes the splashimage09:43
raphinkdpkg-divert with what?09:43
alleewhat happens when the splashimage in menu.lst is not found?09:44
raphinkthe package can't generate a menu.lst09:44
raphinkit adds it int he end of the file09:44
alleedivert thatever splash image was used in menu.lst09:44
raphinkhmm09:45
=== allee 1st after breezy install was to get rid of the splash stuff in menu.lst
raphinkhehe09:46
alleeah, so make sure your script does not fail when nothing is substituted09:46
raphinkyes09:46
=== allee hides
raphinkwhy do you hide ?09:47
raphinkhmm09:48
alleefor my coming out as a splash-hater ;)09:48

sebasRiddell: I'll try (got another machine to upgrade.10:25
sebas)10:25
_Sime_sebas: I'm trying to release Guidance 0.5.0....10:31
sebasGreat.10:31
sebasWhy's that "trying"?10:31
_Sime_do the PyKDE packages from breezy work on KDE 3.5???10:31
sebasWill test in a bit.10:31
sebasI'm about to install it, but can already test it on our workstation at the uni in the meantime.10:32
_Sime_ftp and mirrordir don't want to work...10:32
_Sime_Firefox 1.5 is coming out today as well. It must be Christmas time!10:33
sebasYeah. :)10:33
sebasAlready thought that 3.5 and ff are quite close to each other.10:34
sebas_Sime_: What about waiting one week with the guidance release and announcing it on the dot?10:34
sebasOr is the toolchain to hard to set up to make it worth it?10:34
sebas(Just an idea)10:34
_Sime_if someone makes packages for breezy then Jan can test out displayconfig.10:37
_Sime_in the meantime we can go forward with the changes from Jan.10:37
_Sime_I think we can use dapper for most of the testing for displayconfig.10:37
sebasWe could mark it Yeah, as soon as it's worth installing ... (as in stable enough).10:38
_Sime_yeah, once it is stable and working then you can worry about promotion.10:39
sebas-" We could mark it "10:39
sebasThat's fine :)10:39
_Sime_(guidance 0.1.0 was 20 nov 2003)10:39
sebas.4 from the breezy release still works in kde 3.5, btw.10:40
sebasI'm now installing latest svn10:43
sebasRiddell: upgrade from breezy now went smoothly, thx.10:44
Tonio_has anyone tried to package kaffeine 0.7.1 to see if it is less crashing ?10:46
Tonio_a backport could be interesting, because it is certainly the last "very unstable thing" in kubuntu now10:46
sebas_Sime_: Which package did I need when this happens:10:53
sebasgcc -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-i686-2.4/modules/ixf86misc.o -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lXext -lXrandr -lXrender -o build/lib.linux-i686-2.4/ixf86misc.so10:53
sebas/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXxf86vm10:53
sebas?10:53
_Sime_libxxf86vm-dev10:55
sebasThanks :)10:57
sebasOne new warning, my last name has umlauts, should we set encoding to utf-8 or rather write it "ue"?11:00
sebasdisplayconfig buggers out, but that's because I'm running it through nx, should we fix that (in general, if things aren't detected)?11:01
sebasApart from that, it seems to work (little too much debugging output from userconfig)/11:02
sebasOk, I've fixed the warnings and disabled the huge load of debugging output from userconfig.11:07
_Sime_sebas: did your name bug out?11:10
_Sime_sebas: 3.5 upgrade went well?11:10
sebas_Sime_: Only a warning (adding the utf-8 encoding line let that one vanish)11:11
sebasThe upgrade went well, on two machines yet.11:11
_Sime_cool, I'm reading the visual guide to 3.5... cooool11:11
sebasYeah, well prepared release promotion :)11:12
sebasInstalling all kinds of superkaramba crap via get hot new stuff and removing it without leaving trash on your system is fun :>11:13
_Sime_upgrading now.11:16
