ryanakcahmmm... translating is harder than I thought... since all the programs I use are english...02:07
Yagisanryanakca: yes, my wife tells me how hard translating is. Having tried it myself, I tend to agree, and have more respect for her.02:08
ryanakcaYagisan: lol.... what language does she translate to?02:09

Yagisanryanakca: she translates my work stuff to Japanese02:09
ryanakcaOuch... sounds tough... I'm working on french... MUCH simpler :)02:10
Yagisanryanakca: need to reverse sentence order, no plurals, no future tense. Not an easy job02:11
=== StevenK wishes he knew other languages apart from bad English.
ryanakcaand programs have special syntax/phrasing... It isn't freeform translation... lots of rules and stuff...02:11
ryanakcaThank god theres Rosetta....02:11

Yagisanryanakca: present & future tense is the same to them02:18
ryanakcawow... so I'm walking the dog could mean that I will walk the dog or I'm presently walking the dog? heh... confusing :P02:19
StevenKI suspect it could be determined by context.02:22
ryanakcayeah....02:22
Yagisanryanakca: eg watashi wa omise ni ikimasu. I will go to the shop. watashi wa omise ni ikimasu. I am going to the shop. How do you tell. by context comes to mind, but you need to pick up the implied parts too.02:22
StevenKHah, I was right.02:23
YagisanStevenK: partially02:23
ryanakcaheh... interesting02:24
YagisanStevenK: sometimes you can't tell by context, as Japanese is a very ambiguous language.02:24
YagisanStevenK: it is implied or assumed you know much of what they are talking about02:24
ajmitchhi02:25
StevenKBut if you don't, you're stuffed.02:25
YagisanG'day ajmitch.02:25

kelmoie, when you first ifup to start the daemon03:25
kelmothat iface is "up"03:25
kelmoso you have to somehow workaround that03:25
kelmoi used --force option in the action script03:25
kelmowith manual inet method for master iface03:25
siretartkelmo: ah, now I remember why I wanted to do it this way. because of this03:25
siretartkelmo: I was rather thinking about starting the supplicant by the init script, and leaving ifupdown alone. at first03:26
kelmosiretart: thats what i previously did03:26
siretartkelmo: then, the action script ifups or ifdowns the interface03:26
kelmosiretart: but this seems much more comfortable03:26
siretartkelmo: what problem did you see here?03:26
siretartmore comfortable in what way?03:26
kelmoan extra system service, two more conffiles to change/maintain03:26
siretartyes, but thats an extra package. thats okay for me03:27
kelmosiretart: major problem:03:27
kelmohotplugging03:27
kelmoan action script won't wait for the control socket to appear03:28
kelmoifupdown's allow-hotplug fixes that very well03:28

siretartah, in udev. okay. I'll look03:30
kelmosiretart: this was my basis for refuting your hotplugging support03:31
kelmoin a previous discussion03:31
siretartok03:32
siretartnow I see03:32
siretartit is very similiar to what ubuntu does wrt to 'auto' interfaces03:32
kelmosure03:32
siretartyou're right that what I propose isn't too nice wrt to hotpluggable interfaces..03:33
kelmono, and basically, in the end, its almost exactly what i proipose now03:33
siretartbut leaving that to ifupdown just confuses it with interface states and can cause subtle inconsistencies03:33
kelmoyes, i agree there too03:33
siretarthmmhmm. now where do we go from this point?03:34

siretartwell, since you don't introduce any conffiles with your approach, testing it in experimental seems a good idea to me03:43
kelmo_lapwell, there is one conffile at this time03:43
kelmo_lapand that is what could be done within wpa_supplicant upstream03:44
kelmo_lapssid "alias"03:44
siretarterr which conffile do you mean?03:44

kelmo_lapand some networks will use a common network configuration03:46

siretartit might be perhaps better to first name the ifupdown name and then the essid, though03:53
kelmo_lapsiretart, yep, okay03:53
siretartah, ok. in the meantime, we can still learn the current ssid by calling wpa_cli status in the action script03:54

siretartpersia: the transition was only done because the openal version before was really really ancient with many other problems05:38
siretartI didn't want you to be scared ;)05:38
persiasiretart: I'm really happy about the transition.  Most of the games were crashing strangely, without an explanation, although they worked better without sound.  This seems more stable (now if only X hadn't started to crash in the last couple weeks...)05:39
siretartpersia: the package was really orphaned in debian. the version before was some random cvs snapshot, not really supported, broken shlib file, open rc bugs for a long time05:40

ivoksand... for rest of us that weren't lucky to get a sponsor, will you be on IRC? :)07:18
LaserJockand then who reviews/approves them TB07:19
siretartLaserJock: in principle yes. in montreal, there was a reviewing session at the end of each day07:19
siretartLaserJock: then specs where approved or set back to 'needs more work' with comments left on the wiki07:19

sladenivoks: I didn't know German Wings were now down there;  trains in Eastern Europe are much cheaper than Western europe so it might have been [financially]  worth doing a section on Train followed by a plane08:15

crimsunin Edgy, we can reNEW them08:52
olafuraThen we can also have my tomboy-plugins08:52
LaserJockcrimsun: hmm, so I guess if we left the libs then that could cause problems with the upstream Dapper packages?08:53
crimsunLaserJock: it would take more effort to review and NEW the missing ones, and yes, not being able to sync the libs with whatever upstream has because Dapper would have frozen, would be problematic08:54
crimsunwe're two weeks from release, so we really can't afford either08:54
