Mithrandirosso-gwcompat should be in now.02:18
Mithrandiragoliveira: do you have any idea how much work it'd be to move to the official bluez interfaces?02:18
agoliveiraMithrandir: I'ts hard to say as I don't have experience on this but for the looks I would say that won't easy. Bluetooth is quite a messy stuff.02:21
Mithrandirhmm02:21
agoliveiraMithrandir: and there is some things there, related to proprietary part I guess, that won't make much sense to me but, as I said, I don't have experience with bluez.02:22
Mithrandirme neither. :-)02:23
agoliveiraMithrandir:This is something needed, no doubt, but we should check with Nokia to see if they have something already in place, maybe even Intel has something but they didn't say anything about it also.02:25
Mithrandirnokia seemed to want to transition, but nothing firm yet.02:26
agoliveiraMithrandir:BTW, after the small "anouncement" I did yesterday, I was contacted by Bob Sinclair (Intel) asking me if he could already use the packages, if he could help, etc. I didn't say anything yet but I believe he can access LP if he wants grab the sources right?02:27
Mithrandiryes, the branches are publically available.02:28
agoliveiraFine, I'll tell him that he can jump in from there then.02:29
Mithrandiras for helping out, I would prefer if people started by contributing by either sending patches to the mailing list or branching off into their own space on launchpad before we give them commit access02:30
MithrandirI'm happy being easy on the requirements, but just giving it out completely freely is something I would like to avoid.02:30
agoliveiraUnderstood.02:31
agoliveiraAnd it's Bob Spencer. Bob Sinclair is a musician :)02:32
Mithrandiroh, Bob Spencer is a member of the team, I thought02:33
agoliveiraYes, he is already.02:36

Mithrandirdaniels: not yet at least.02:40
Mithrandirwe're so far basically just working on getting hildon into ubuntu.02:41
Mithrandirfixing all kinds of minor and major stuff, like.. completely wrong debian/copyrights and such02:41
danielsMithrandir: no surprise there.02:42

Mithrandiryou don't happe to know who'd be the right person to chat with about l10n infrastructure?02:43
danielsi have no idea, tbh02:47
danielsi'd probably have to ask the same people you would02:47
Mithrandirok, I'll just mail maemo-developers and see what comes of it.02:48
danielsthey don't lurk on m-d; you'd have to talk to nokians directly02:48
danielsthey're sort of part of the corporate machinery02:49
Mithrandirhm, ok.02:50
Mithrandirwe're open, but not really, and not always, and not all bits.02:50
agoliveiraMithrandir: got it now? ;)02:51
agoliveiraThat's *the* single major complain the maemo developpers have.02:51

tko_Mithrandir, I know something about l10n..03:05
tko_Mithrandir, as I mentioned yesterday, our roadmap is something along the lines of 1) migrate to gnome.org, 2) make stable release, 3) fix po03:06
Mithrandirok03:06
Mithrandirwhat's blocking those and how can I/we help?03:06
Mithrandirwe're basically trying to answer the question whether we can use malone to translate hildon for gutsy or if that's not feasible.03:06
danielshopefully we can move off logical strings soon, too03:07
tko_well, migration is currently blocking on accounts, then on svn repositories, then on us penetrating the firewall for commit access.. stable release is just blocking on fixing all bugs :)03:07
Mithrandirdaniels: logical strings, as in msgid "sfil_li_folder_root"03:08
MithrandirI presume03:08
tko_and we can't really touch the l10n during this development cycle03:08
danielsMithrandir: right03:08
Mithrandirok.03:08
tko_Mithrandir, if malone could display the en_GB string instead of the logical id, it should be simple to use03:09
Mithrandirgutsy is October, so not feasible for then.03:09
Mithrandirsorry, not malone, but rather rosetta03:09
tko_I was wondering about that...03:09
MithrandirI'm making a mess of all words today.03:09
MithrandirI can ask the rosetta people if that's feasible.03:09
tko_but figured you must know better :-P03:09
danielstko_: well, you have irc now, which is an improvement, so surely svn can't be too far off ;)03:10
Mithrandirsvn-over-irc.03:11
Mithrandir:-P03:11
tko_daniels, well, I'm abusing jabber irc transport, which is a bad argument as I really shouldn't be running jabber either :-P03:11
tko_svn over dns03:11
Mithrandirip-over-dns is working quite well, but I suspect you'll get angry employers that way.03:12
danielsMithrandir: there are ways to bust tunnels out03:13
Mithrandirit sounds like rosetta should be able to handle this way of doing translations, so we can use it for gutsy.03:39
loolHmm some bzr branches are in an old format and bzr complains about it04:07
loolWorking tree format 3 is deprecated and a better format is available.04:07
loole.g. hildon-thumbnail04:07
Mithrandirjust run bzr upgrade and you should be fine04:07
Mithrandirideally, hildon-thumbnail shouldn't ship the .bzr directory in the tar.gz at all04:07
loolMithrandir: I mean on bazaar.launchpad.net04:07
loolAt least when I bzr co all branches, only some display the "obsolete format" error04:08
Mithrandirhm04:08
loolDo you want a list?04:08
Mithrandirweird.04:08
Mithrandirthat's just your working tree.04:08
Mithrandirhildon-thumbnail is that way?04:08
loolI doubt it's local, otherwise I would get the warning on all checkouts04:09
loolBTW, I'm bootstrapping a pkg-maemo on alioth04:09
loolAnd wrote a script to checkout all bzr branches of the ubuntu-mobile team as "/ubuntu"04:09

Mithrandirbzr co sftp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mobile/hildon-thumbnail/ubuntu/ hildon-thumbnail ; cd hildon-thumbnail ; bzr status doesn't make it whine here04:11
loolhttp://paste.debian.net/2967904:11
loolMithrandir: It's with a bzr tarball from upstream installed in my home04:11
loolMithrandir: Ah, it might have been interrupted in a previous run04:12
haaryWhat browser will Ubuntu mobile use?04:12
Mithrandirhaary: custom gecko/xulrunner-based, most likely.04:12
loolMithrandir: Right; I wiped everything, and now it's fixed; sorry for the noise04:12
Mithrandirlool: ah, ok.  Good. :-)04:12
Mithrandiryou had me confused for a bit04:12
loolYeah, I was confused too04:13
haaryOh, I thought it would be something based on Gtk Webcore, since gecko is pretty bloated04:14
loolIs there some kind of mailing list for tarball releases in maemo?04:30
tko_lool, we don't do tarball releases... :-] 04:32
tko_lool, we've requested one for hildon on gnome.org but it'll take time04:32
loolI'll use http://repository.maemo.org/pool/sardine/main/source/libo/libosso/ as download URL for libosso then04:33
loolI can't help but smile as I cross Johan Bilien in the ChangeLog mouarf04:33

mdzlool: I just synced it unmodified from the maemo repository, since it didn't require any changes (it's trivial)05:28

bobuxI was thinking we were the same but you are working at my 4am06:43
bobuxgood to know. thx06:44
bobuxI saw your comment above on LP access and am doing that today06:44
agoliveiraIn Brazil it's mostly GMT -3 but some parts are -2 and even -1 IIRC.06:44
agoliveiraNice to know :)06:44
loolI cleaned mce-dummy a little; would someone be so kind to have a look at the changes, tell me whether they are not too intrusive, and perhaps merge some in the ubuntu branch?  bzr.debian.org/bzr/pkg-maemo/mce-dummy/debian/06:53
danielsa diff might be nice, being somewhat easier to review than a bzr branch.06:54
tkodaniels: you wouldn't mind a git branch though, would you? :)06:55
=== lool tried bzr diff on two remote branches just for fnu
=== pkl [n=phillip@lougher.demon.co.uk] has joined #ubuntu-mobile
danielstko: it would be easier than bzr (given that git lets you clone new repositories with 'old' versions; i couldn't clone postr with edgy's bzr, which sucks horribly), but would still definitely prefer a diff.06:57
loolhttp://people.dooz.org/~lool/debian/mce-dummy-diff.patch06:57
tkodiff is easier, true.. shouldn't the bzr web thingamagic be able to produce a diff between arbitrary revisions?06:58
loolWho should I talk to to get such cleanups in the upstream SVN?07:02
loolIndividual maintainers?07:02
tkolool: bug in bugzilla and individual maintainers I'd say, at least until we get the hildon mailing list running07:03
tkolool: IIRC we don't have debhelper 5 yet so that part might become annoying to us if we can't apply the whole patch07:04
looltko: Oh yeah; but not bumping debhelper is going to be a pain for all packages, especially those providing -dbg packages :-/07:05
looltko: Is there a chance to get an updated debhelper07:05
danielsyeah, debhelper 5 is an enormous pain, and not solved anytime soon.07:05
loolaha07:05
=== fcarvalho [n=fcarvalh@200.184.118.132] has joined #ubuntu-mobile
danielslool: no, and you're still stuck with dpkg 1.13.19 in the devkits.07:05
tkoand as you may have noticed we're not too good at the finer details of packaging either so chances of us tweaking the necessary bits to fit for debhelper 4 are bitty slim07:05
loolI wonder whether we should refrain from updating debian/compat in this case07:05
=== bspencer [n=bob@jffwprtest.jf.intel.com] has joined #ubuntu-mobile
tkodaniels: fer was saying something that sdk guys were quick to agree on getting debhelper 5 as it's apparently needed for python bindings07:07
danielslool: thanks for the diff.  looks fine, modulo dh5.07:07
loolThe thing is, debhelper 4 is out of my memories; I don't know what expectations I have which would be broken in v4 mode07:07
tko:)07:07
danielstko: ah, nice.  i argued with them about that and dpkg for a while, got nowhere.07:07
loolFor example, I don't recall whether it's ok to wrap build-deps in DH 407:07
tkodaniels: sdk != si07:07
danielslool: no --print-missing (or whatever), --dbg-package semantics reversed (i.e. use --dbg-package=libfoo1 to get libfoo1-dbg)07:07
danielstko: yes, both teams. :)07:07
looldaniels: Yeah, that kind of stuff07:08
loolHmm daniels, you said it's unlikely to be very soon, and tko you mentionned is a requirement for python07:08
tkoI'm still sort of wondering if we could get canonical maintain our build environment and tools and such :)07:09
loolUntil when can you get debhelper 5, and how to help?07:09
danielstko: if only07:09
looltko: hehe07:09
danielslool: we don't know, and there's nothing you can do to help, sadly07:09
danielsdinnertime, bbl07:09
tkolool: I meant currently the python packaging requires debhelper 5, we need to either get it, or make it work with v407:09
looltko: I don't know whether it's for sale, but I suppose it could help Nokia save money on that part of the maintenance07:10
looltko: Python stuff has changed a lot recently; I am not sure what you mean with "python packaging", but restraining your python packages to the old mode of dh_python sounds awful07:11
tkoI've gone through the pain of downgrading some packaging, so yes, I know07:12
tkobut still, in cases, if you want something to happen this year...07:12
looltko: Is it discussed internally in Nokia?07:12
loolOr are there people one can talk to, to explain that upgrading debhelper should be self thanks to its concept of compat modes?07:13
tkolool: not actively that I know of (would require some higher level business decision) individuals complain occasionally but eventually resign07:14
tkoon debhelper specifically I believe daniels has most recent experience07:15
loolHmm where's mce-dev in SVN?07:17
loolI see mce-dummy Provides mce-dev, but it's not the good mce-dev it seems07:18
=== lool goes offline this evening &
tkolool: it probably isn't in svn (not all teams use stage)07:34
mdzlool: I don't think I found it in svn07:53
mdzI only noticed it by accident07:53
mdzit's essentially a stripped-down version of the proprietary mce package07:54
=== lucasr [n=lucasr@cs164220.pp.htv.fi] has joined #ubuntu-mobile
agoliveiraIndeed. mce-dev is not there, just mce-dummy because of the dependency IIRC.07:57
mdzagoliveira: no, there are three MCE packages07:58
mdzmce (the proprietary one), mce-dummy (in svn) and mce-dev (in the archive)07:58
tkoIIRC mce-dummy is historical because it was needed to satisfy mce dependency, but it was later superseded by the real thing07:58
mdzI pulled in the latter07:58
agoliveiraI meant in the stage svn.07:59
