Meshezabeelthanks bimberi :)07:34
bimberiMeshezabeel: yw :)07:34
Meshezabeelbimberi, looking through the docs, it looks like I can install programs from apt repositories, but I have made my own educational software that I would like to install on the disc, is this also possible?07:47
=== skirk [n=skirk@ip-103-163.sn2.eutelia.it] has joined #edubuntu
bimberiMeshezabeel: i don't really know sorry.  I would be suprrised if you can't.  At the very least you could make your own packages.07:49
Meshezabeelok, thanks, I don't know anything about making a package, but if I made a package, could I then upload it to some sort of public repository?07:50
bimbericheckinstall is one way of making packages ...07:54
bimberi!checkinstall07:54
ubotucheckinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!07:54

JohnFluxAnyone at the ubuntu summit in sevilla?02:52
ograJohnFlux, thats over sice saturday02:53
JohnFluxit was meant to be asked in past tense heh02:53
JohnFluxthe kdeedu person, annma, is trying to find out if anything was decided02:54
JohnFluxparticularly whether there were any problems with packaging kde edu stuff etc02:54
ograall our kdeedu probs were solved with moving it to the addon CD02:55
ograin feisty02:55
JohnFluxso all the kde programs are separate from gnome apps?02:56
ograwe wont repackage anything now that we have additional space02:56
JohnFluxor do I misunderstand?02:56
ogramost of the edu apps moved over, not only KDE02:56
ograbut yes02:56
ograin gutsy we'll pull the whole of kdeedu in and look through additional apps as well02:58
JohnFluxcool02:58
ogra(we dont use the kdeedu metapackage but a selected list of apps from it yet ... gutsy has space enough to pull all in)02:58
JohnFluxare there any particular problems etc that the kdeedu people can help with?02:58
ograwe were also defining a voting system for apps so users can rate02:59
JohnFluxby an addon cd, you mean edubuntu is now on two cds or what?02:59
ograyep02:59
ograwith feisty we moved to a two CD setup02:59
JohnFluxboth part of edubuntu right?02:59
ograyes02:59
ograthere are slight problems with getting that across to users (wording/naming etc) but we'l solve these for gutsy03:00

JohnFluxannma: were there any more questions you had for the edubuntu guys?03:01
annmaI just wonder why we don't work together03:02
annmathat's my question03:02
ograwe dont ?03:03
JohnFluxannma: what particular things would you like done?03:03
annmaeveryone I meet about Educational Software asks me that question03:03
ograi work very close with riddell03:03
annmaogra: do we?03:03
JohnFluxogra: do you use irc or the mailing list mostly?03:03
annmariddell is not part of kdeedu03:03
ograi thought he would be my proxy to you guys03:03
annmawell he never said so03:03
ograwell, he is kde upstream, isnt he ?03:03
annmaso I never got anything back to you03:04
ograJohnFlux, IRC03:04
annmathat's what I mainly asked John03:04
=== JohnFlux nods
annmaI asked if there was a KDE representative03:04
JohnFluxannma: maybe stay on this channel ?03:04
ograannma, well, since feisty all our problems should be gone now, i just explained it to john03:04
ograannma, there were never problems with kdeedu ... thats something i never got across to you guys ... the probelms were always size related ...03:05
annmaso you're putting all kde-edu stuff on the second CD?03:05
annmait's not only about problems03:05
ograwe're putting nearly everything edu related on the second CD03:05
annmait's also about gettinbg feedback from your users03:05
annmagetting things fixed, talking i18n and all that03:06
ografor feisty there was gcompris and kdeedu ... in gutsy more stuff will move and i'll look into moving libs and languages back to the first one03:06
JohnFluxannma: do you have a launchpad account?03:06
annmaI htink I have one03:06
JohnFluxogra can you help annma get signed up to the launchpad edubuntu bugs maybe?03:06
annmaJohnFlux: please03:06
ograsure ... just sign up for the team, i'll enable you right away03:07
annmathat willnot solve anything, I have no time to triage bugs03:07
annmabesides I always forget passwords, I have too many03:07
JohnFluxannma: use kwallet ;_003:08
JohnFluxannma: you don't have to triage bugs, but this way you can see the feedback from users03:08
ograi dont think there are many kdeedu bugs ... to be honest thats the software i see the least ones with in edubuntu ...03:09
ogragood work ;)03:09
JohnFluxannma: maybe sign up for only kde edu bugs?03:09
annmayou only talk about packaging then at your meetings?03:09
JohnFluxyou might have to do it app by app something03:09
annmathe wiki advertized for applications on the desktop03:10
annmathat's mainly what interest me: how to develop better edu apps03:11
ograannma, we talked about appselection too ..03:11
ograannma, but more generally03:11
annmaok03:12
annmait would be good if you tell us when you  son't select an app why you do so for ex03:12
ogra*i* dont care about gnome or kde apps ... i only care how to manage the distro ... we'll put an app voting mechanism in place for gutsy so users can rate and we'll put in what they want03:12
annmaok03:13
ograif the page i done i'll send you the link and see if we can get an rss feed in place that provides the current list on a daily base03:13
annmaI also don't care much about toolkit to be frank03:13
