=== mornfall wonders if Riddell is still awake
Riddellmornfall: hi01:02
mornfallRiddell: i have a progressbar under konsole (which is now hideable) now (it even works)... oh and the download is interruptible and you can cancel media change01:03
Riddellmornfall: wow01:03
mornfallRiddell: and i guess i'm done for 1.8801:03
Riddellthat's really seriously impressive01:04
mornfallRiddell: do we want to upload this to dapper?01:04
Riddellmornfall: ooh, yes please01:05
mornfallRiddell: okey, i will be churning out tarballs in near future01:06
Riddellmornfall: could it be done as a non-native package?01:06
mornfallwelll... if someone does it01:07
RiddellI can do it01:08
mornfallon the other hand, i am not completely sure why01:08
Riddellmostly so it's possible to track the diff between debian and ubuntu01:08
mornfallshouldn't that be easier with native package?01:08
mornfallbah what a mess01:10
Riddellwell we had that huge diff from utunbu which is much more easier to see if there's a .diff.gz you can just see as being huge01:10
mornfallRiddell: that huge diff was because someone seriously messed up the upload01:10

Riddellyep01:13
mornfallthe problem with non-native package is that you need an upstream tarball01:16
Riddell== native tar minus the debian directory I'd say01:16
mornfallwhich means either svn2dist (for ept) or autotools (for libapt-front)01:16
mornfallwell, right now debuild handles it for me01:16
mornfalli couldn't get autotools to handle libapt-front sanely (because of the nature of testing data)01:17
Riddellbut if it's a hassle then don't bother, the main thing is to have a rocking new adept 01:17
seth_k|lappyHiya Riddell, anything you'd like worked on tonight that I could handle?01:22
=== claydoh [n=clay@65.99.187.63] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Riddellhmm, good question01:22
mornfallwhat about libapt-front upload :-)01:22
RiddellI don't think seth_k|lappy can upload to main or I'd say yes01:23
seth_k|lappy:P01:23
seth_k|lappygotta work on MOTU first01:23
seth_k|lappymain later ;)01:23
mornfallRiddell: i'll try to have it uploaded into unstable tomorrow, would that be easier that way?01:24
mornfallRiddell: (libapt-front)01:24
Riddellyou could sort out all my girl problems for me, that would be very useful.  might not advance the cause of free software much though :)01:24
mornfallgirl problems suck01:24
Riddellthink up questions for this interview with the valgrind author I said I'd do01:26
Riddellseth_k|lappy: actually most useful thing would be to sort out bug reports01:26
seth_k|lappyRiddell, alright01:26
Riddellalthough strangely enough people never find that very interesting :)01:26
seth_k|lappyone question about those, then: If a bug is fixed in Breezy, but was reported in Hoary, do we mark it fixed?01:27
seth_k|lappyEven though the Hoary user could never get the new package?01:27
Riddellyes, fixed01:28
Riddellfixed if it's in dapper too01:28
seth_k|lappyok :)01:28
Riddellseth_k|lappy: and if hobbsee comes online and has time talk her though packaging the new rsibreak version, we'll make a motu of her yet!01:30
Riddellmornfall: I don't think it's any easier if it's in unstable01:31
seth_k|lappysure thing Riddell, I helped her out with kmymoney2 the other night (even though for some reason she thought you wanted a Breezy package)01:31
Riddellstill need to download and merge the changelogs and whatever01:31
Riddellactually if she still has that breezy package get her to put it somewhere, people on the mailing list are quite keen on it01:31
seth_k|lappyalright, I'll see. And if she doesn't, I'll mix one up real fast01:32
mornfallRiddell: owgh....01:38
Riddellmornfall: hmm?01:39
mornfalli thought syncs from debian were automated01:40
Riddellmornfall: we could do that certainly, it would mean loosing the changelog but I guess that's no big loss01:42
Riddellah, I see allee has already done rsibreak 0.4 for debian01:44
Riddellmornfall: so tonight or should I go to bed?01:51
mornfallRiddell: go to bed02:06
mornfallRiddell: i still have things to fix02:06
mornfall(not much, but things)02:07
mornfalland i'll go to bed too... i'll probably make tarballs in morning02:07
mornfallgn02:08
Riddellok, sleep well, looking forward to adept tomorrow :)02:10

Riddellcommunity council meeting 20:00 UTC04:20
jjessetoday?04:20
Riddellwonder if there's anyone we should get going for membership04:20
Riddelljjesse: yes04:20
jjessehmm didn't have it on my calendar will add it real quick04:20
Riddelljust been decided :)04:20
jjessegrin no wonder i didn't have it04:21
raphinkRiddell: Tonio_ and I will apply in two weeks I think04:23
raphink(since I was told to wait 4 more weeks last time, and Tonio's wiki is not up-to-date)04:24
Riddellgroovy04:26
Riddellraphink: wasn't that maintainership rather than membership?04:26
raphinkno, membership04:27
raphinkubuntu membership04:27
raphinkwe already have maintainership on some packages04:27
Riddellright04:27
Riddellwell maintainership being universe upload rights04:27
raphinkwell you need to be a member before being a MOTU, no?04:28
raphink(indeed, I wish to become a MOTU soon enough after membership)04:28
Riddellyes04:28
raphinkRiddell: do you have a few minutes to have a look at autostart please ? http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=120904:32
RiddellRiddell: give me half an hour04:35
Riddelljjesse: what's the plan for the desktop guide?04:35
jjesseRiddell: get it shipped for dapper, and finished04:36
jjesseRiddell: we had a meeting scheduled for those interested on sunday but out of the 4 people interested 1 showed up04:36
Riddellhmm, shame04:40
Riddellalthough, kubuntu takes the lead!04:40
alleeraphink: about autostart ...04:41
raphinkallee: hi :)04:41
raphinkallee: yes?04:42
alleeraphink: license is GPL 2 or later but you refer to GPL-2 file.  should be GPL04:42
raphinkargh04:42
raphinkI was told I had to use GPL-2 because it's GPL 2 or later04:42
alleeraphink: yes.  At least that's what in the diff ;)04:42
raphinknow there's a need to refer to policy04:42
alleemaybe I'm wrong but I use GPL file for GPL or later and GPL-2 is license restricts to v2 only04:43
alleeraphink: my opionion (as written in the license;) is to use whatever /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL points to04:45
raphinkmhm04:45
raphinkwell we had a talk on #ubuntu-motu last time04:45
raphinkand I was asked to change it to GPL-204:45
raphinkbut it makes sense if GPL-2 is GPL v2 _only_04:45
alleeraphink: if they advise GPL-2 fine.04:45
raphinkwhile GPL would link to the last one04:46
raphinkI'd have to check04:46
raphinknot sure this is a big issue though04:46
raphinksince it's GPL-2 or later04:46
raphinkGPL-2 is fine04:46
alleeraphink: yes. feel free to ignore 04:46
raphinkbut I'll look at it some time to find out about policy on this04:46
Riddellallee's point make sense to me04:46
raphinkRiddell: to me too04:46
raphinkbut slomo asked me to change it 04:46
alleeRiddell: I have strong doubts that sense is anyhow releated to license text (me does not longer expect it ;)04:47
alleeraphink: copyright holder but no copyright year04:47
=== KaiL [n=KaiL@p548F4881.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu-devel
raphinkallee: bottom of the file04:48
alleeraphink: forget it you listed it at the end04:48
raphinkI never put the year in the copyright holder's field ;)04:48
allee:)04:48
raphink:)04:48
alleemhmm why copyright holder at all at the top?  Just curious04:49
raphinkit's just the way I got used to doing it04:49
alleeok04:50
raphink;)04:50
alleeraphink: long description.  I'm sure you've choosen the right --prefix.  so remove it and don't frighten your users04:50
raphinkhuhu right ;)04:51
alleeraphink: remove cdbs_kde_enable_debug = --disable-debug  not needed. was/is a old hack04:51
raphinkoki04:52
raphinkanything else?04:52
raphink:)04:52
alleeraphink: suggestion s/when KDE inits (after a login)/ when you login into a KDE session.04:53
raphink Autostart is a KDE control center module to configure which applications04:54
raphink start up when you login into a KDE session.04:54
raphinkis that better?04:54
raphinkI s/for configuring/to configure/ aswell ;)04:54
raphinkI like it better04:54
raphinkoh04:55
raphinkjust discovered dput -s without intending it04:55
raphink;)04:55
alleeraphink: I never trust my choosen english preposition. Ask someone else than me ;)04:55
Riddellraphink: to configure is good04:55
raphink:)04:56
raphinkok uploaded04:56
alleeraphink: FWIW: latest watch  is at version 3 (you use 2).  No idea what changed or what is 3 is good for ;)04:56
raphinkoh 04:56
raphinkok I'll change it then04:56
raphinkvery very small change ;)04:57
alleeraphink: btw. isn't autostart a too generic term?  (like guidance has a pkg kde-guidance?)04:57
raphinkso you think I should use kde-autostart ?04:58
Riddellyes, may well need to be kcontrol-module-autostart04:58
raphinki'vd wondered about it04:58
Riddellor kcontrol-autostart04:58
raphinkRiddell: it's also for systemsettings i think04:58
raphinkfor example04:58
Riddellwell systemsettings uses kcontrol modules :)04:58
raphinkkdmtheme is packaged as such04:58
raphinknot as kcontrol-module-kdmtheme04:58
raphinkI'm fine with changing the name though04:59
Riddellkdmtheme is a less generic name but might still benefit from the longer kcontrol-module-kdmtheme04:59
raphinkwould be good to choose a pattern for these04:59
raphinkthat would be used with all modules04:59
raphinkknetworkconf is a kcontrol module aswell, no?04:59
raphinkRiddell: actually, I'm also wondering if autostart and kdmtheme should depend on kcontrol|systemsettings05:01
alleeraphink: question: are there upstream plans to provide a unified interface to Autostart folder ? kded autostarted services05:02
allees/?/and/05:02
raphinkno idea05:02
Riddellallee: nothing in progress05:02
raphinkok kdmtheme and autostart should depend on kdelibs-bin actually05:03
raphinksince they require kcmshell05:03
alleeRiddell: bad! Hiding this techn. details would be a benifit for the user05:03
Riddellallee: well that's not to say upstream doesn't want it, just that nobody has done it, this autostart module should probably be in KDE but now isn't really the right time05:04
Riddellraphink: yes kdelibs-bin for kcmshell05:04
raphink:)05:04
Riddellk3b probably shouldn't depend on kcontrol, all the gnome users complain about that05:05
raphinkhehe05:05
raphinkdoesn't seem very logical05:05
raphinkhmm05:05
raphinkso what do I go for?05:05
raphinkkde-autostart ?05:05
raphinkkcontrol-autostart ?05:06
raphinkkcontrol-module-autostart ?05:06
alleeraphink: chose:  my favorite would be kde-login-autostart05:06
raphinkhmmm05:06
Riddellhmm05:06
raphinkI'd for for kde-autostart05:06
raphinkbecause it's precise enough imo05:06
raphinkand short enough to be typed 05:07
allee'k no problem05:07
RiddellI like either kcontrol-autostart or kcontrol-module-autostart.  kde-autostart is ok too05:07
raphinkRiddell: what's your opinion?05:07
raphinkis kcontrol to be abandonned though?05:07
RiddellI don't mind :)05:10
raphinkhehe05:10
raphinkok05:12
