asachi phoenix2417:27
asacdid your question from yesterday resolved itself?17:27
phoenix24Hi asac!!17:28
phoenix24Nope, the question was.. could I use .xpi extensions for packaging, instead of the CVS SRC code ?17:29
* phoenix24 is behind a univ. proxy, that makes it messy to access CVS.17:30
asacphoenix24: sourcce is preferred. only if not available we should package .xpi's ... if we package .xpi's its important to get the licensing right17:30
asacfor that ping the upstream author and ask him to include a license.txt or COPYING file in the .xpi top-level dir at best17:30
phoenix24All of the ff3 extensions at mozdev.org are hosted on CVS... means, I cant work with any of them.17:32
phoenix24http://www.mozdev.org/projects/top50.html17:32
asacwhy cant you work with any of them?17:39
asacphoenix24: ah, but you can use bzr?17:40
asacphoenix24: we can figure something out. If you check the licensing we can create a list of sources you want to be imported from CVS in bzr17:40
asacwe can do that then17:40
asacphoenix24: any extension you want to start working on now?17:43
asaci could then create the .upstream branch for you17:43
phoenix24yes, lots actually.17:43
asacphoenix24: lets start with one17:43
asaccheck the license first ... if that is done tell me where to get it17:43
asacand which CVS tag17:43
asacthen add the others to a wiki page or something17:44
phoenix24ok17:44
phoenix24asac: I'll check in a min, and tell17:45
phoenix24asac: I'll start with http://fireftp.mozdev.org18:05
phoenix24cvs tags :   cvs -d :pserver:guest@mozdev.org:/cvs login18:06
phoenix24  cvs -z3 -d :pserver:guest@mozdev.org:/cvs co fireftp18:06
asacno tag?18:10
asacbtw, its fireftp/src i need to checkout18:11
phoenix24Yes, I think18:11
phoenix24A lots of these CVS repo's do not have a licence file.18:12
asacyes, most probably just didn't know about the impact. a ping might help18:13
phoenix24So, do I mail them. . requesting to add an appropriate licence before proceeding further ?18:15
asacphoenix24: welcome back18:17
asacyes, please mail them18:17
asachttps://code.edge.launchpad.net/~asac/firefox-extensions/fireftp.upstream18:17
asachere you go18:17
asactakes a minute till its scanned18:17
phoenix24thanks!18:18
asacnow its there18:18
phoenix24I'll add it to wiki's too.18:18
asacfine18:18
phoenix24asac: next CVS tag be, cvs -z3 -d :pserver:guest@mozdev.org:/cvs co menueditor18:24
phoenix24for ff3-extension menueditor.18:24
phoenix24only the src/ directory.18:25
Ubulettehi19:17
armin76yo19:20
phoenix24Ubulette: Hi!19:23
asacphoenix24: no release tag?19:53
asac(menueditor)19:53
phoenix24asac: cvs -z3 -d :pserver:guest@mozdev.org:/cvs co menueditor19:56
phoenix24and the src/ directory.19:56
asacdo you know what a TAG is?19:56
phoenix24Nope.19:56
asacits basically a NAME for a certain snapshot that they release19:57
asacdecent projects do that on release19:57
asacsome dont (like fireftp)19:57
phoenix24Does CVS give the latest release always ?19:57
phoenix24*Does not19:57
asacso usually you don't want to export/import a random snapshot from CVS HEAD, but a release19:57
asacit gives you the latest development HEAD ... which usually isn't a release19:58
asacphoenix24: http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/menueditor/src/install.rdf?rev=1.1119:58
asacon top there is CVS Tags:19:58
asacunfortunately they don't use tags as well19:58
asac(HEAD is always the latest)19:58
asacphoenix24: if there are no tags, we should look if the xpi ships a license file19:59
asacif it does we should import the unpacked .xpi19:59
phoenix24aok!20:00
asacin this case we can do it20:00
asacwell ... not now. as the current .xpi doesn't support firefox 320:00
asacis CVS ready?20:00
Ubulettehttp://gemal.dk/blog/2008/02/26/dom_inspector_not_shipping_in_firefox_3/20:00
asacphoenix24: ok officially it doesnt ... have you tried to install the xpi in ffox 3 with compatibility check disabled?20:01
asac(the how to for that is on the firefox3 extension page)20:01
asachmm disconnect20:01
asacUbulette: can ew come up with an independent build/source package for dom-inspector?20:02
phoenix24We'r packaging extensions only for ff3 right ?20:02
asacotherwise we should just keep provding it from xul20:02
asacphoenix24: yes20:02
asac21:01 < asac> phoenix24: ok officially it doesnt ... have you tried to install the xpi in ffox 3 with  compatibility check disabled?20:02
asac21:01 -!- phoenix24 [i=qnvi@67.159.5.52] has quit [Remote closed the connection]20:03
asac21:01 < asac> (the how to for that is on the firefox3 extension page)20:03
asacphoenix24: ^^^20:03
Ubuletteasac, i think it's fine to keep it in xul20:03
Ubulettei'm nearly done with tb320:04
phoenix24Doesn't work.20:04
asacphoenix24: then move forward20:05
phoenix24Extension installation fails, coz the extension fails to provide "Secure Updates"20:06
phoenix24How du I disable it ?20:06
asacwhat do you mean?20:06
asacphoenix24: just fix the update url: use https20:08
asacin install.rdf20:08
phoenix24asac: Will do menueditor later.20:11
phoenix24doing fireftp now.20:11
asacphoenix24: the branch suffix .ubuntu or .upstream has nothing to do with the package name20:16
asacso myubufox.ubuntu would have the package "myubufox" ... just in case you wondered ;)20:16
asacthe .ubuntu suffix just means that its its the ubuntu package, while .upstream is the branch that tracks the unmodified upstream dev tree20:16
asac(thats just convention)20:16
asacyou can name branches as you like of course. but having a common naming scheme for all firefox extensions is obviously beneficial.20:17
phoenix24yea20:18
phoenix24*yes20:18
phoenix24asac: what is install.rdf20:21
phoenix24what & how it defines for the package/build process ?20:22
phoenix24How do I fill in debian/copyright ?20:37

Ubuletteasac, [PPA fta] Accepted: thunderbird-3.0 3.0~a1~cvs20080220t0747+nobinonly-0ubuntu1~fta1 (source)22:10
Ubulettelet's see if it build there too22:10
Ubulettedoh!22:12
asacUbulette: are you using thunderbird on your own?23:52
Ubulettenot anymore23:52
Ubulettewhy ?23:52
Ubulettehttp://www.osnews.com/story/1939123:53
asacjust wondered if you know how bad 3.0 trashes the profile ;)23:53
asacdid he contribute a lot in recent history?23:54
Ubulettereally ? i advised users to backup their profile23:54
asacunfortunately i didn't find any perfect editor yet ... maybe its time for a new? :-P23:54
Ubulettevim and xemacs are perfect for me23:55
asacwow i can stall firefox in front of gnome-terminal23:55
asacso i cannot make gnome-terminal the frontmost app again23:55
asac(until i minize firefox)23:55
asacjust open firefox in front and open a context menu by right-clicking on a terminal partially hidden23:56
asaceven alt+tab doesn't work anymore23:56
asacoh crazy23:56
asacrestarting firefox fixed it23:57
asacUbulette: do we see cairo assert crashes in b4pre?23:57
asacon shutdown?23:57
UbuletteI don't think so, it was an a6-a8 thing, no ?23:58
asacyes, but i saw a blocker bug that had a similar ASSERT output (of course not a crash in upstream builds because they still have the non-fatal asserts patch in cairo23:59
