[08:38] <tjaalton> sweet
[08:52] <bryce> hey, tjaalton I don't remember if I showed you this already - http://bryceharrington.org/files/bisect.html
[08:52] <bryce> (prototype)
[08:53] <tjaalton> mm, looks useful
[08:55] <bryce> yeah, in analyzing bug upstreaming, I've noticed that much of the time upstream asks the user to do a git bisect
[08:55] <bryce> the vast majority of our users will go %-} at that point
[08:56] <bryce> so this is intended to make git bisecting user friendly for them
[08:56] <bryce> I've got like 90% of the scripting done to generate that page, and to generate the packages
[08:56] <bryce> unfortunately ppa is proving to be uncooperative.
[08:57] <bryce> anyway, once it's online I hope this will become a useful tool for us
[08:58] <tjaalton> will you make the commit-id's as links to the git commit?
[08:58] <bryce> I've got it committed in with tormod's packaging tools - https://code.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/xorg-server/xorg-pkg-tools
[08:59] <bryce> sure - in fact I wanted to bring this to your attention to gather suggestions like that
[09:00] <bryce> also, to cut down on the number of packages, I'm only listing every 8th commit.  If you think it'd be better to list more (or less), that'd be good to know
[09:02] <tjaalton> so you'll plan on making a package for every visible commit?
[09:02] <bryce> at this point I'm thinking every 8th commit
[09:03] <tjaalton> but the page shows every commit?
[09:03] <bryce> no, there are 7 "hidden" commits between each line
[09:04] <tjaalton> ah ok
[09:04] <bryce> I guess that's not clear enough
[09:04] <tjaalton> in that case it's probably not worth it to make the visible ones as links
[09:04] <bryce> c.f. to http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel.git;a=shortlog
[09:05] <bryce> would it be better to have every single commit?  I worry it might be too much disk space in the ppa
[09:06] <tjaalton> probably not, but maybe have a way to show the hidden commits between packaged versions?
[09:07] <tjaalton> then it might be easier to find the broken commit
[09:07] <bryce> true
[09:07] <bryce> yeah I plan to apply hefty javascript on top to help hide unnecessary clutter
[09:07] <bryce> some day
[09:07] <tjaalton> :P
[09:08] <bryce> first I must bend PPA to my will
[09:08] <bryce> so far the only way I can get it to accept my packages is to up the epoch to 3:
[09:08] <bryce> it won't accept packages that are "older" than what's currently in main
[09:08] <bryce> which seems silly but anyway.
[09:16] <tjaalton> yeah
[09:22] <bryce> bleah, some day I need to go through and close out all those displayconfig-gtk bugs
[09:25] <bryce> seb128: btw, 203897/204447 has a fix that's ready to upload
[09:25] <seb128> bug #203897
[09:25] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 203897 in control-center "monitor resolution panel won't fit on 640x480 screen" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/203897
[09:25] <seb128> bug #204447
[09:25] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 204447 in gnome-control-center "Display capplet's border is too big" [Low,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/204447
[09:29] <seb128> bryce: the current hardy version already has those no?
[09:30] <seb128> bryce: it didn't get autoclosing because the bug is on control-center instead of gnome-control-center which is the new naming
[09:31] <bryce> oh, ah
[09:31] <bryce> ok, then I'll close those two
[09:31] <seb128> bryce: anything else which was waiting for upload while I'm in a sponsoring sprint? ;-)
[09:32] <seb128> bryce: thanks
[09:34] <bryce> no, the only other one is bug 203612, but I think I can take care of that one myself now.
[09:34] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 203612 in displayconfig-gtk "Screens and Graphics menu item in wrong section" [Medium,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/203612
[09:36] <bryce> oh, and I'm also waiting on feedback from you for 199960.  I can easily make a patch to check for Xgl if you like.  
[09:36] <bryce> I've no problem telling Xgl users that they're smoking crack though.
[09:36] <seb128> well, what doesn't work on xgl?
[09:36] <seb128> shouldn't the gnome-desktop upload I sponsored yesterday which traps the xerror fix the crash there?
[09:37] <bryce> I gather xrandr 1.2 isn't implemented (properly?) on xgl
[09:37] <seb128> or that's another call having the issue?
[09:37] <bryce> yeah it may.  I suspect we now have some redundant checks going on
[09:38] <seb128> let's see if that does the trick
[09:38] <seb128> I'm not in a hurry to fix xgl anyway
[09:38] <seb128> that's an universe thing and not supported
[09:38] <bryce> heh, you seem to have about as high of an opinion of xgl as I
[09:38] <seb128> ;-)
[09:38] <seb128> the good thing is that many of those users reported that they removed xgl
[09:39] <bryce> yup
[09:39] <seb128> and that compiz still works correctly on normal xorg and aiglx
[09:51] <tjaalton> bryce: aren't you a core-dev now? use the power! :)
[09:52] <bryce> tjaalton: yeah like I said I think I can take care of it now ;-)
[09:52] <seb128> oh, you are?
[09:53] <seb128> congrats!
[09:53] <bryce> thanks :-)
[09:53] <tjaalton> bryce: also, since I've been slacking with sponsoring lately, you can upload intel/displayconfig-gtk etc you have pending :)
[09:55] <bryce> thanks I will, although the only remaining pending uploads had some problems in testing I need to look into
[09:59] <bryce> ok, night.
[09:59] <tjaalton> night
[09:59] <tjaalton> I'll upload nv later today

[21:39] <tjaalton> bryce: yep, they should be hosted somewhere else
[21:44] <bryce> yeah I'm setting up builds locally and will push to my people.ubuntu.com account.  *shrug*
[21:44] <bryce> I think if I push only the debs, and don't put up debug packages, it shouldn't occupy too much space
