danimothe only interesting part for non-SUSE folks is basically the MS patent infrigement coverage for every private OSS developer 12:17
Jucatoah the Novell/Microsoft partnership?12:19
danimoyes12:20
danimohttp://www.novell.com/linux/microsoft/openletter.html12:20
Jucatojust reading the FAQ right now :)12:21
Kryczekdanimo: what do you play the webcast with?12:24
Kryczekah, it's over12:24
danimoKryczek: mplayer12:24
danimoKryczek: alternatively, there was a flash proxy over at the novell site12:25
Kryczekok... was just wondering why Kaffeine wouldn't work, but it's probably because the webcast is over :)12:26
danimoKryczek: or because you didn't install the w32 codecs12:27
Kryczekno no, i have them :)12:28
Jucatohm... first MS opens the CE kernel, now this... hm... conspiracy theorists are going to have a blast :)12:32
nixternalBallmer is on CNBC saying "Ahhh-Bun-tooo" like a moron12:33
Jucatohuh? what's Ubuntu gotta do with their new found partner (suckers...)?12:34
nixternalbecause we are working together with Oracle, which is who Microsoft has been after this year big time12:35
Jucatoaaaah12:35
nixternalMicrosoft doesn't like the fact Oracle chose Red Hat for a partnership either12:35
JucatoI thought Unbreakable Linux was supposed to be a competitor of Red Hat... :P12:36
Jucatonixternal: btw, do you think RMS is gonna speak about gNewSense in his talk there on the 4th?12:37
nixternalprobably not..he never speaks about "distros" usually12:37

nixternalit will be strictly GNU, and im sure he will diss the OSS community since our philosophy doesn't == his12:38
Jucatoother than Ututo12:38
Jucatonixternal: um... who's handling the FAQ on the Kubuntu.org site?12:40
nixternalthe community i guess ;)12:41

KryczekCNBC stopped broadcasting on my cable here :(12:52
Kryczeka few weeks ago12:52
nixternalyou are lucky12:52
nixternalCNBC is so full of Microsoft rhetoric anyways...bloomberg is much better12:52
KryczekI haven't noticed...12:52
Kryczekbah, can't stand bloomberg, the colors are so fugly :P12:53
Kryczekand the image is too small :|12:54
nixternali just noticed the gNewSense letter on fsf.org12:58
Jucato:)12:58
nixternalthey totally diss ubuntu in it "one without non-free kernel binary "blobs" or any other non-free software..."12:58
Jucatoum... will there be any problems coming from the fact that they will not use Launchpad?12:59
nixternalsee..my only issue is this...the internet has to be boring as all hell...gaming must suck12:59
=== Jucato remembers that RMS doesn't buy/use/accept most CD/DVD's...
KryczekJucato: why? something about the licence of the Orange Book ?01:00
nixternalhe uses gnome only when he needs to do graphical stuff..otherwise he works all from the command line..i have a hard time believing that01:01
nixternalthere is no way i could be prehistoric like that01:01
JucatoKryczek: well most DVD's are encrypted or have restrictions, right? so he doesn't use them. and if someone gives him one, he returns it01:01
Kryczekmaybe he only IRCs :p01:01
Kryczekirssi in console mode is fine enough01:02
Jucatousing irssi01:02
Jucato:)01:02
Kryczeki am not surprised ;)01:02

Jucatohm...01:02
KryczekJucato [n=jucato@58.69.26.8]  requested unknown CTCP  from Kryczek:01:03
Kryczektehee01:03

Jucatoah sorry lol01:03
JucatoI'm not used to CTCP'ing01:03
Jucatonice :)01:03
Kryczekdoesnt Konversation have that in a menu? :)01:03
JucatoI don't know lol01:04
Jucatoah there is. I didn't check :P01:04
Kryczek=)01:04
JucatoI owe irssi a lot. saved my butt a couple of times01:04
Kryczekhow so?01:04
Jucatoremember the broken xorg update in Dapper?01:04
nixternal[CTCP]  Received CTCP-VERSION reply from nixternal: http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php01:05
nixternalhaha01:05
KryczekJucato: no, I had Breezy at work but I just installed Dapper a few days before 6.10 came out01:05
JucatoI was able to ask in IRC about the fix thanks to irssi01:05
Kryczekhehe, nice01:05
JucatoKryczek: aah. basically there was a broken update. everyone who updated ended up with no X. so knowledge of irssi was a life-saver01:06
Kryczekwell, from all the IRC clients I've tried, I couldn't find anything easier on the eyes than a translucent Konsole with Irssi in it01:06

nixternalshoot01:28
Jucatoit now shows Edgy Eft documentation right? but if Dapper is LTS, shouldn't the Dapper docs still be there?01:29
MezJucato, most pages will show info for both (and possibly more)01:30
nixternalthey are still there, look at the 6.06 LTS tab up top01:30
Jucatoah I see. (didn't see them... guess they were too small for me :P)01:30

UbugtuMalone bug 69962 in kubuntu-meta "umnet  dependencies  libavahi-compat-libdnssd1" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/6996201:58
MezHobbsee, incase you didnt realise - thats the bug ;)01:59
Jucatomoin Hobbsee!01:59
MezI mean, we could provide Replaces: Conflicts: etc etc.... but should we?01:59
Hobbseehey Jucato 02:01
MezHobbsee, so what's your opinion on that ?02:01
HobbseeMez: no.  tell them about the force overwrite to shut apt up, and tell them not to use unofficial repos like you did02:01
MezHobbsee, or apt-get remove bonjour ? :P02:02
HobbseeMez: well, that too.  if they insist on installing it though...02:02
=== Mez is slightly annoyed that his "storage media" doesnt work in the way it should (it now opens /media instead of media:/

Jucatohehe... that's a feature, not a bug :P02:04
MezJucato, I know thats the problem02:04
JucatoI'm just annoyed that Konqueror's navigation panel doesn't follow it... Storage Media still points to media:/02:04
HobbseeMez: what, i always found that media:/ would just open nothing.02:05

Hobbseeah yeah02:08
Hobbseeyou have a floppy drive?02:08

jjessehello Hobbsee02:08

Mezwell, ones a symlink I know02:09
Mezbut how confusing would that be for a new user ?02:09
Mezand "usbdisk"02:09
JucatoMez: /boot and / will certainly not show up (it shouldn't, right?)02:09
Meznot in media, no02:09
Jucatoyes, the "naming" really does need some work... cdrom0 or cdrom1 on the desktop isn't really descriptive :)02:10
Mezindeed02:10
Mezwhat was the reason for not using media:/02:10
jjessei like usbdisk :)02:10
HobbseeMez: it nevre worked for msot people :P02:11
Jucatohm... doesn't work as it should? (even some KDE devs think so)02:11
JucatoMez: I'm also guessing that your Music and Scratch partitions aren't mounted in /media ?02:11
Meznope02:12
Jucatothat would be the cause of the problem then...02:12
Mez/music and /scratch/02:12
Jucatoas imbrandon says...02:12
Jucatobut the FHS isn't really clear about where to mount HDD partitions anyway... some people still insist on using /mnt while Ubuntu defaults to /media I think02:13
Mezsurely you can mount arbitrary filesystems wherever you want02:14
Mezthats the whole point of having such a dir structure02:14
JucatoI'm not sure what the Linux FHS thinks...02:14
Jucatothat's one advantage of media:/ though. wherever you mount a partition/drive, it will show up02:15

JucatoNSOSS?07:35
nixternalNo So Open Source Software07:37
Jucatolol07:37
Jucatoreferring to Novell aren't we? :)07:37
nixternalyes07:38
Jucatostill don't know what to make of that news... no matter what angle I try to look at it... makes me worry a bit...07:39
nixternalya...im sure it won't be good/great in the long run...microsoft has never done anything good for any community07:40
Jucatonot even for their own...07:40
Jucatowell at least they revised the whole policy about re-installing Vista07:40
nixternalthey had 10 years to get in this business.and now that they are loosing market share in the enterprise market, and novell is in debt up to their chins..this comes out of the deal07:40
JucatoI pity SUSE right now...07:40
nixternalespecially after oracle chooses red hat to do its work with..this scared novell even more..and microsoft, who doens't even have a shoelace in the db market wants it07:41
JucatoI thought Oracle's move hurt RH more than it helped them?07:41
nixternalhell no..red hat jumped up with that...because it brings internest now from IBM and db2 stuff...because ibm won't go to suse now especially since the microsoft stuff07:42
Jucatohehe07:42
nixternalthe only way that red hat gets hurt in this deal, is if they don't step up and produce a solid solution all around...red hat is going to be a touch one to get market share from..they have the largest support infrastructure of any IT company07:43
nixternalon an enterprise level07:44
nixternalgod i love being a business major..because i am going to use todays crap and turn it into my A paper!!!07:44
Jucatothe only reason I had an interest in SUSE was because of their involvement with contributions to KDE development. But now with Novell doing this publicity stunt...07:44
Jucatohehehe07:44
Jucatotoo bad I can rarely (in fact almost never) apply my Philosophy studies in FOSS...07:45

Jucatohttp://www.novell.com/linux/microsoft/faq.html || http://www.novell.com/linux/microsoft/openletter.html07:50
nixternali don't see why Ubuntu wouldn't be ok with gNewSense07:52

jsgotangconixternal: dude i originally used KDE  and wrote kubuntu documentation even before you heard of it07:56
jsgotangco:D07:56
nixternali think it was gnome that made you to busy this go around..if you had been using KDE you would have all the time in the world...us KDE people call that free time, you GNOME people call that bug triage07:56
Jucatolol07:56
jsgotangcohah07:56
=== Jucato looks for a bomb shelter
nixternalwell, I tried kubuntu when you wrote that bug documentation, and I went right back to Slackware for the time being ;)07:56
nixternali finally got the kubuntu bug i think with flight 207:56
jsgotangcobug documentation???07:57
nixternali would have stayed with mepis, but their whole "lovers" community was a bit weird for me07:57
jsgotangcohaha07:57
nixternali can take the hugs and the circles here in ubuntu, but lovers is a little to up the crazy chain for me07:57
jsgotangcoive actually tried MS Business Accounting 2007 its pretty neat, we lack that kind of stuff07:58
nixternalwe don't need accounting in Linux...everything is free..you create accounting software to track zeros?07:58
nixternalhehe07:58
jsgotangcohah07:58
nixternalthat one was slick, i liked that joke07:58
nixternalyou are right though..07:58
jsgotangcotoo bad 90% of the business world doesn't agree with you07:58
nixternalPeachtree is the best accounting software I have used, Orace T&E is close 2nd07:59
jsgotangcowe use peachtree at work07:59
nixternali love peachtree07:59
jsgotangcoits pretty slick07:59
nixternali used to do peachtree admin for fun at one point07:59
nixternali have more licenses than you can shake a stick at somewhere around here07:59
jsgotangcooh?08:00
nixternali will have to find them and put them on the market08:00
jsgotangcoat work we declare so much licenses we dont have to worry about BSA08:00
nixternalthey are all good, never been used, ready to be activated too08:00
jsgotangcounfortunately, we're now planning for vista08:00
jsgotangcoheh08:00
nixternalwell, these licenses are enterprise, and just might be the versions that allow goldmine and oracle t&e pipes08:01
nixternalnext month for vista..6 weeks away now08:01
jsgotangcodo you know that the CE kernel is also shared source?08:01
jsgotangcothey'd be better off putting it on a BSD license though08:02
nixternalthey still use CE?08:02
nixternalor Vista CE?08:02
jsgotangcoPowerPC is based on WinCE08:02
jsgotangcoerr08:02
jsgotangcoPocketPC rather08:02
nixternalwell, PocketPC isn't CE anymore I thought08:02
jsgotangcoits pretty useless without the PocketPC UI though08:02
jsgotangcoCasio used to have a product that used WinCE with a different UI08:03
nixternalhrmm..i swore that was all changed over..but now that i think about it...playstation 2s are ce if im not mistaken08:03
jsgotangcoi dunno08:03
jsgotangcoDreamcasts are CE to08:03
nixternaldo they make those anymore?08:04
jsgotangcoi used to do a lot of embedded systems back then, the CE toolkit for PocketPC and other CD devices are the same08:04
jsgotangcoyou just compile them in a different architecture08:04
jsgotangcotill i discovered the disastrous sharp zaurus08:04
jsgotangcohehe08:04
nixternalomg i would love to have a zaurus08:04
jsgotangcoyou're 4 years too late hehehe08:05
nixternalonly way to get them here is ebay..and then you are paying an arm and a leg for one08:05
jsgotangcowell yeah the new ones cost a lot08:05
nixternalthe new ones are bad08:05
nixternalthey run Linux (KDE) at that08:05
jsgotangcobut i can tell you the software selection pretty sucks at the moment08:05
jsgotangcoyou're better off replacing it08:05
nixternaland that is pure linux..not embedded w/ familiar correct?08:05
jsgotangcoif you're using the default rom, its embedded linux08:06
jsgotangcomonta vista08:06
jsgotangcoyou get busybox etc08:06
nixternalahhh08:06
nixternali played with the familiar front end and kde this weekend..it was pretty cool08:06
jsgotangcoi dunno what is being used now with openzaurus08:06
nixternalrunning kmail, gnupg, konqi08:06
jsgotangcoi can say its much more mature now compared to the time i hacked on it08:07
jsgotangcowe were just talking about kitchensync back then when i quit doing it08:07
nixternali need some portables to mess with..i have been trying to hack a clie just to read emails..and it hasn't been fun..it keeps dying in between hacks08:07

JucatoHobbsee: would you happen to know what Kubuntu's policy is regarding KDE bug fixes that were just recently released?08:47
Jucatodo we wait for KDE 3.5.6, for Feisty, or do they go into -updates or -security?08:48

Hobbseeupdates, if the diff is eyeballable08:48
HobbseeSRU procedure, and the like08:48
Jucatowell,some of the bugs I marked, then some bugs that were just fixed lately in the kdepim bug triage08:49
HobbseeJucato: get the patches of all of them, stick them in a debdiff, and then it'll just go thru a SRU like any other08:49

Tonio_probably diserves an update too, that's true02:38
Tonio_Kryczek: but I generally only think and focus official repos02:39
Tonio_Riddell's repos are his job, so he can decide what to do ;)02:39
KryczekTonio_: yeah... not sure if it's only 3.5.5, but several ppl with Dapper have the problem, so that would be like giving up on a whole release02:39
Kryczekplus it's supposed to be LTS ;)02:39
Tonio_Kryczek: true that02:39
Tonio_well the patch is done now Riddell's to decide02:39
Tonio_I have to prepare my clothes.... fly is for tomorrow...02:40

Tonio_Kryczek: simply upload the package in edgy-updates in the official repos02:41
Tonio_for dapper that's different since the 3.5.5 repos are not "official" but managed by Riddell02:42
Kryczekupload?02:42
Tonio_only canonical repos are to be considered official02:42
Tonio_Kryczek: send the packages to the repo yes02:42

KryczekI was using Gentoo and keeping it up to date was a pain cause my CPU is quite old (Athlon 850MHz), so I thought Kubuntu was the perfect solution for that... I would always be up to date by just upgrading binaries in a matter of seconds02:43
Kryczekbut are you saying that with my Dapper install I am to be stuck to KDE 3.5.5, Amarok 1.4.3 etc forever?02:44
=== gnomefreak [n=gnomefre@ubuntu/member/gnomefreak] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Tonio_Kryczek: with official repos yes02:58
Tonio_Kryczek: dapper is stuck with 3.5.2, not 3.5.502:58
Tonio_the repos you added (via kubuntu.org) aren't "official"02:58
KryczekI don't understand... why are repositories not compatible?02:58
Kryczekyeah, sorry, KDE 3.5.2 :)02:59
Tonio_Kryczek: when an ubuntu branch is released as stable, it is frozen forever02:59
Kryczekbut what's to prevent a Dapper workstation to work with Edgy packages?02:59
Tonio_sometimes updates are provided, for example in "dapper-backport" repos02:59
Tonio_but main, universe etc... are frozen02:59
JucatoTonio_: Riddell said it's official inasmuch as Kubuntu is concerned, since maintains them :)02:59
Tonio_Kryczek: for example libraries are not always the same version02:59
Jucatoer.. "since he maintains them"03:00
Tonio_Jucato: hehe, okay03:00
Tonio_Jucato: but that's his own repos, none of the kubuntu team can touch them03:00
Tonio_Jucato: this is why I suggested him the patches directly03:00
Jucatoah03:00
Tonio_Kryczek: the reason we are rebuilding the packages a libs03:00
Tonio_Kryczek: amarok built with edgy libs may not work on dapper since the libs aren't the same version03:01
Tonio_the point is that the source package is the same, but the binaries packages are different03:01
Tonio_Kryczek: that's the same reason you cannot use ubuntu repos on debian for example, even if most source packages are the same03:01
Tonio_they are rebuilt  against the libs on every system/version03:02
Tonio_and that's the reason why ubuntu focusses on source packages compatibility and not the binaries03:02
Kryczek< Tonio_> Kryczek: amarok built with edgy libs may not work on dapper since the libs aren't the same version03:02
=== Jucato never thought packaging could be that complicated....
Kryczekwell upgrading amaroK would upgrade the libs as a dependency, no?03:02
Tonio_nope03:02
Jucatothat's why they're "unofficial" as far as Ubuntu is concerned03:02
JucatoTonio_: but bug fixes go into -updates right?03:03
Tonio_Kryczek: if amarok (sources) are built with version 1.1 of libtoto03:03
Tonio_then you want to use the deb on a system where the libtoto version is 1.003:03
Tonio_that will not work03:03
Tonio_because the dependancies will not match03:04
Tonio_so you have to take the same source package, but build it on a system where libtoto is 1.003:04
Kryczekyeah I understand the libs mismatch problem03:04
Tonio_Jucato: yes fixes go to update03:04
Tonio_and we're uploading the source package so that it is built on dapper, with the libs of dapper03:04
Kryczekbut why can't the package management system specify dependencies to newer versions of these libs if required by amarok ?03:04
Tonio_we can't provide binaries for that exact reason03:05
Tonio_Kryczek: we don't set manually  the libs version in the deb package03:05
Kryczekso you never upgrade libraries on a release?03:05
Tonio_that's done via debhelper during the build process03:05
Tonio_Kryczek: somtimes we do03:05
Tonio_but when the release is "stable" we generally don't, except security issue03:06
Tonio_because upgrading a lib means rebuilding most of the packages that depend on that lib03:06
Tonio_you're right on that point03:06
Kryczekweird lol03:06
Tonio_Kryczek: well that's why debian packages are that good quality03:07
Kryczekfor example, I did most of the work on Libnids 1.21, which means I had 1.21 on my system before anybody else, instead of the widespread 1.2003:07
Tonio_Kryczek: you cannot (or very hardly) do crappy packages03:07
Kryczekand still all the programs that were installed with 1.20 were still working03:07
Tonio_Kryczek: yeys but if you build it again with 1.21 headers, the binary package will depend on 1.21, not 1.2003:09
Tonio_if it is installed that'll still work03:09
Tonio_but apt-get install yourpackage might fail due to dependancies issues03:09
Tonio_not on your machine, but on other guys machines, it will03:10
Tonio_that's why the packages are built in a chroot03:10
Tonio_to be sure the build environnement is cleaned of  manually installed libs03:11
KryczekI see03:11
Tonio_that might sound complicated, but necessary for clean packages03:11
Kryczekhowever, I found a forum entry showing how to "upgrade from dapper to edgy" : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=22705203:11
Tonio_that's why checkinstall *shouldn't* exist03:11
Tonio_;)03:11
Kryczekin your opinion, is it risky?03:11
Tonio_Kryczek: can be03:12
Tonio_lots of people said they had issues03:12
Tonio_I had when I upgrade to edgy but I did 4 month ago03:12
Tonio_hehe03:12
Tonio_the best in my opinion is to reinstall without deleting the /home03:12
Tonio_the problem is that the changes are wide and lots of people use non official repos03:13
Tonio_that can cause issues03:13
Tonio_dependancies etc....03:13
Tonio_if you use only official repos, you can perform a sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-minimal kubuntu-desktop03:13
Kryczekso the only "good" way of keeping a Kubuntu machine up to date is by completely reinstalling every time a new release CD comes out?03:13
Tonio_that should work yes03:13
Kryczekaww, I thought we were past that :|03:13
Tonio_Kryczek: if you use external repos, that's better03:14
Kryczekthat's how I used to keep my OpenBSD up to date 6 years ago03:14
Tonio_if you keep using official repos, no that's not necessary03:14
Tonio_you can just upgrade with apt03:14
Tonio_Kryczek: well that just depends the  repos you use03:14
Tonio_we can't unsure that you will not have deps issues with compiz/xgl repos for example03:14
JucatoTonio_: although I still exprienced some upgrade problems when trying to upgrade an absolutely fresh install of Dapper to Edgy03:14
Kryczekand provided that people upload new packages to these repos, right?03:15
Tonio_Jucato: yes, that's why I suggested to apt-get install ubuntu-minimal && apt-get install install kubuntu-desktop03:15
Tonio_Jucato: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade is sometimes not enough03:15
Jucatoyeah I guess we have to iron that out...03:16
Tonio_Kryczek: yep03:16
Tonio_the point is I never upgraded without issues03:16
Tonio_but I have lots of non official packages on my machine, since I prepare and test them03:16
Tonio_and I never wait for the release to upgrade :)03:17
Tonio_I was on edgy 4 month ago03:17
Jucatoheheh03:17
Kryczekheh, and I installed Dapper 4 days before Edgy came out :)03:17
Tonio_Kryczek: btw if you want a really stable system, stay on dapper03:18
Tonio_edgy isn't very stable03:18
Kryczekok03:18
Tonio_that's my opinion03:18
Tonio_edgy is the first shot of the new dev cycle03:18
Kryczekwell KWallet on Edgy isn't very stable either ;p03:18
Kryczekor was it in KDE 3.5.2 ?03:18

KryczekTonio_: ah, you were saying "absolutely not" @ Riddel03:20
Kryczekl03:20
Tonio_Jucato: I know, that's why I provided a patch to revert to 3.5.203:20
Jucatoooh03:20
Tonio_Kryczek: hehe, yes, that's not riddell's fault (how could it be !)03:20
Kryczek:)03:20
Tonio_Jucato: not any version of kwalletmanager is bugfree since version 3.5.203:20
Kryczekno, thought you were saying it wasn't the maintainer's fault either03:21
JucatoTonio_: so KWallet will revert to 3.5.2 while the rest of KDE still is 3.5.5?03:21
KryczekTonio_: is that patch available somewhere already?03:21
JucatoKryczek: that's what I (mis)understood too...03:21
Tonio_Kryczek: did I ? no that's the maintainer's fault03:21
Tonio_Kryczek: no we have to include that in the packages03:21

KryczekTonio_: and mark KWallet as frozen FOREVER ;p03:21
Tonio_Kryczek: as it concerns package whom Riddell is the maintainer, I won't upload them without his opinion03:21
Tonio_Kryczek: it is frozen in "main"03:22
JucatoTonio_: I'm presuming there'll be lots of bug fixes coming in -updates?03:22
Kryczekj/k :)03:22
Tonio_but it can be upgraded via dapper-updates and edgy-updates03:22
Jucatofor Edgy, I mean03:22
Tonio_Jucato: yes, -updates are to fix bugs03:22
Tonio_that's the goal of that branch03:22
JucatoTonio_: will the recent kdepim fixes be included? they had a triage weekend, right?03:22
Tonio_can be -backport sometimes too, if the fix is to use the +1 distrib package03:23
Tonio_Jucato: dunno concerning kdepim (I wasn't there most of the week, since I prepare my flight to mountain view)03:23
=== Jucato wonders if there's a list of bugs that were changed/commented on by me in Launchpad
seaLnenot that i know of03:24
JucatoTonio_: ah I see. someone's been ranting/asking in #kubuntu/#kde about Kubuntu's update system with regards to bug fixes, since those fixes were uploaded to Frugalware already...03:24
alleeKDE stuff for -updates?  IMHO 99% uses kubuntu.org updates ;)03:25
Tonio_allee: and I don't understand this03:27
Tonio_they should go to backport or updates in my opinion03:27
=== Jucato has trouble remembering which Kubuntu/KDE bugs he commented on or confirmed...
Tonio_updates when it just concerns new patches03:28
Tonio_and backports when it concerns a new kde out03:28
alleeTonio_: koffice 1.5.0 is buggy like hell IMHO.  but noone cares and use kubuntu.org instead ;)03:28
Tonio_I never understood the reason of kubuntu.org repos in fact....03:28
Tonio_but that's just my opinion03:28
Tonio_Riddell has probably good reasons to provide them that way03:28
Tonio_we already have updates and backports, but we don't use them... weird isn't it ?03:29
alleeTonio_: yes.03:29
JucatoTonio_: I asked Riddell about it one time (first time I had any direct communication with him). iirc, he said that it was so that Kubuntu could have more freedom with regards to KDE updates and because he didn't want to mess the stable official repos and that at that time, backports was basically dead03:29
Jucatohope I didn't misunderstand him...03:29
alleeTonio_: but kubuntu.org is maybe the only way to get them ready for the day the KDE release is announced03:30
Tonio_Jucato: yes, backport WAS dead03:30
Tonio_but not now, they are correctly used03:30
Tonio_allee: possibly yes, but we should use backports then03:30
Jucatoyep. but by that time, KDE 3.5.4 was already out. Amarok 1.4.2 was put into dapper-backports, iirc, and so was KTorrent and K3b03:30
Tonio_allee: because upgrading the  distro is more complicated when kubuntu.org repos03:31
Tonio_people don't know they have to remove them03:31
Jucatowe do?03:31
Tonio_Jucato: yes03:31
=== bddebian [n=bdefrees@mail.ottens.com] has joined #kubuntu-devel
alleeI agree but what will be on backports?  whatever is in kde-stable/ ?03:31
Jucatooh...03:31
Tonio_allee: with -updates and -backports, you just have to replace dapper by edgy03:31
Tonio_but a kubuntu.org repo can't be managed that way03:31
Tonio_that's why I think we should favor backprots instead of external repos that are now meant to upgradable03:32
Tonio_t/to/to be03:32
bddebianHowdy03:32
Tonio_hey bddebian :)03:32
Jucatohi bddebian!03:32
bddebianHi Tonio_, Jucato03:32
Tonio_allee: in my opinion, whay should be in backports is what we are shipping in kubnutu.org repos03:33
JucatoTonio_: probably that was an unforeseen problem, since the kubuntu.org repos seemed to have only been used in Dapper and late Breezy, iirc03:33
Tonio_Jucato: Riddell has the responses :)03:33
JucatoTonio_: but probably one problem that would arise from putting everything into -backports is that users won't be able to choose between for example KDE 3.5.3 or KDE 3.5.403:34
alleeTonio_: yes.  But for testing (if ready for -backports) we need another repo  maybe it would be packages/tmp-kde35X03:35
=== serzholino [n=serzholi@16x.zp.ua] has left #kubuntu-devel []
Jucatofor example, KDE 3.5.4 on Dapper was very buggy. So users could have the choice of staying in 3.5.2 or upgrading to 3.5.303:35
Tonio_allee: that's why I have my repo03:36
alleeJucato: before something goes into -backports it needs careful testing03:36
Tonio_allee: we should have a  "dev" repo I agree03:36
Tonio_Jucato: people have the choice not to upgrade -> not activating backports03:36
alleebut this conflicts with the philosophie, pkgs available at KDE anounce time03:37
Tonio_activating backports/updates means "I am ready to receive the upgrades provided"03:37
Tonio_allee: yes, that could be 24 hours late ;)03:37
JucatoTonio_: can they also disable backports after upgrading to KDE 3.5.3 for example?03:37
Tonio_is that a big issues ??? not in my opinion03:37
Tonio_Jucato: yes they can03:37
Jucatoah03:38
=== Lure [n=lure@ubuntu/member/lure] has joined #kubuntu-devel
Jucatohonestly, before I got involved with you guys, I presumed that the packages from Kubuntu.org have been tested. and I think that's the assumption of a lot of users, too03:39
alleeJucato: there are tested, but not like before a release.  Time is just too short03:40
JucatoI guess it would be ok to have some delay in releasing them03:40
alleeJucato: AFAIU first they go into packages/kde35x, then testing happens when noting grave shows up kde-stable link is redirected to new repo03:40
alleeJucato: packages/kde35x need to be added by hand to sources.list, so you better know what you're doing.  Using packages/kde-stable  should give you some safety.03:43
Jucatoprobably, but not from the upgrades like Dapper to Edgy, as Tonio_ said. (I didn't know you had to remove the kubuntu.org repo...)03:45
Jucatoalthough I have it the other way around. I feel much comfortable adding the individual kde35x repos so that I could control which version of KDE I have installed. but that's just me :)03:47
alleeJucato: Well, for edgy the kubuntu.org repos will not exists (I assume).  Tonio, or were there problem due to pkg versions?03:51
Jucatoallee: well at least for KDE itself. Amarok 1.4.4 is already there03:52
Tonio_allee: there is no problem, just that if you upgrade to another ubutu version, the kubuntu.org repos are useless03:52
alleeJucato: nevertheless amarok 1.4.4 should be build in dapper environment.  amarok  1.4.4 in edgy build in edgy env.03:53
Jucatoyep03:53
alleeJucato: so dapper version should be smaller that edgy version for identical upstream 1.4.4. 03:53

fdovingAnd the two rm lines in the rules file for kde4base makes problems here.10:37
fdovinghad to remove them too.10:37
KryczekTonio_: can I have a look at the patch too? out of curiosity10:39
Kryczek(of how can somebody screw up password management :)10:40

KryczekTonio_: heh, really looks like we're putting his work to the trash :)10:47
Riddellfdoving: yes that's right, sorry I just didn't rebuild the source after changing those two10:52
ryanakcahmm... what can I do to help now that edgy is out? (I can't really code, and I'm not the greatest at artwork, even though I don't mind it (I think it's a bit early for that anywais), and I dislike bug triaging)... 10:52
Kryczekhmmm10:53
RiddellTonio_: that won't get into -updates, it's too large to be understood10:53
Kryczekryanakca: create new themes for usplash :p10:53
ryanakcaKryczek: how?10:53
Riddellryanakca: once feisty is open for general use you can do merges and syncs with debian10:53
ryanakcawhat color?10:54
Kryczekryanakca: well, from what I read10:54
jdonga pbuilder question....10:54
n8k99i know it'ss possible my computer is hosed but Powermanager keeps cycling between battery inserted and battery removed10:54
ryanakcaRiddell: kk10:54
Kryczekright now it's only possible to change the colors10:54
jdongis there any workaround for the "Session management error: Could not open network socket" errors during pbuilder builds?10:54
jdongit doesn't break anything, but does significantly slow down a build10:54
Kryczekryanakca: but personally I'd like to be able to have cool splash images at boot such as the ones of gensplash10:54
Kryczeknot just change the fg/bg colors of the default ubuntu splash :|10:54
Kryczekryanakca: but it's only an idea, I suppose there are other more important things that you could do :)10:55
ryanakcaKryczek: is that idea on +specs somewheres?10:55
ryanakcaKryczek: yeah, playing armagetron advanced is getting kindof dull :)10:56
=== ryanakca wonders if he'll manage convincing he's teacher to let him learn c++ instead of just sitting there and twiddling his thumbs in computer class... powerpoint, excel, word and publisher are all boring...
