james_wseb128: hi.10:59
seb128hey james_w10:59
james_wI've got another proposed patch for you10:59
james_whttp://paste.ubuntu.com/7101/10:59
james_wapologies for the formatting, this file is a pretty terrible mix of tabs and spaces11:00
james_wI think the bug is caused by decode_edid returning NULL, and so info->manufacturer_code segfaults11:00
seb128looks good, no worry about the formatting11:00
james_winfo is fine to be null in the else branch and afterwards, so I just added the check11:01
brycehey guys11:01
seb128hey bryce, how are you?11:01
james_wthe second part of the change was just chasing all callers looking for anything that didn't handle NULL from this function (this isn't the only way to get NULL from it though).11:01
james_whey bryce 11:01
seb128james_w: ok11:01
bryceseb128: feeling married ;-)11:02
seb128james_w: while you are at it, when running gnome-display-properties you get CRTC and Output lines g_printed, can you comment those?11:02
seb128bryce: ah right, congratulations!11:02
james_wcongratulations bryce 11:03
brycenice work on the patch james.  amazing how little null pointer checking fedora is doing11:03
tjaaltonbryce: congrats! I hope the weather was nice :)11:04
brycebdmurray took some photos - http://www.murraytwins.com/gallery/HarringtonWedding11:04
james_wyeah, your audit helped a lot, but there's still a few places.11:04
brycetjaalton: it was the most awesomest weather you could ever have11:04
tjaaltonbryce: heh, seems like it11:04
james_wbryce: I'll have a little time today to push these patches back upstream if you like.11:04
brycejames_w: that'd be great11:04
brycejames_w: not much response on the ones I sent up last week, although sounds like suse merged them into a new git tree (*shrug*)11:05
seb128could somebody quickly glance at http://paste.ubuntu.com/7102/ and tell me if that looks alright?11:06
bryceimg 1103 - that's cworth with bdmurray's twins; 1105 is bdmurray and tedg, keescook is in 1098 and others11:06
james_wbryce: ok, where do I send them, to ssp, or is there a list?11:08
brycejames_w: send them to the gnomecc mailing list11:08
james_wseb128: I'm not comfortable with gettext, sorry.11:08
james_wbryce: sure.11:08
bryceI usually cc ssp, although he's hardly ever responded11:08
seb128james_w: that's alright11:09
bryceseb128: looks ok to me 11:09
seb128thanks11:10
bryceam I remembering right that N_() is "do not translate"?11:10
seb128bryce: nice pictures, I didn't know that you know cworth11:10
bryceseb128: yeah he lives just down the road a bit; we get together for board games periodically and bump into each other at conferences ;-)11:11
seb128bryce: the struct is static so they can't be translated there, the N_() make those being listed in the template and the _() calls then translate the string used11:11
seb128bryce: ah ok, small world ;-)11:11
james_wbryce: I removed the help button in yesterday's upload, is that the best thing for hardy?11:12
tjaaltonmm, bunnies11:12
brycejames_w: yeah in fact I had "do something with help button" on my todo list since the start.  I'd hoped to write some help text, but your patch is a more realistic solution11:13
brycetjaalton: yeah we gave out bunny food as our wedding favors.  ;-)  Thankfully no one got the idea to use it as rice to throw at us!11:16
tjaaltonhehe :)11:16
tjaaltonwe had rice I guess.. too bad the car we got into was a convertible :=)11:17
brycethere were a LOT of children at the wedding in just the right age range to appreciate beaches and bunnies, they had lots of fun11:17
james_wbryce: yes, it's easy to re-enable it if we have some help text though.11:17
tjaaltonone kid threw a handful right onto my face when I got comfortably on the backseat11:17
brycetjaalton: heh11:18
brycejames_w: ok maybe I'll draft something up tomorrow if I have time11:18
seb128I would not bother with that11:19
seb128it likely requires to modify the build system, to have a structured xml, etc and hardy is frozen now11:20
bryceseb128: oh, okay11:20
seb128better to focus effort on bugs fixing11:21
brycetjaalton: you know how I took as a goal to get -intel to <100 bugs for hardy... for intrepid I'm thinking maybe take the goal of getting our total X bugs to <1000 (from ~1500 currently)11:23
tjaaltonbryce: ambitious but hopefully doable :)11:23

james_wseb128: http://paste.ubuntu.com/7103/11:27
seb128james_w: looks good, thanks, could you just document the new prints change in the changelog though?11:28
james_wah yes, of course, sorry11:29

james_wseb128: I've tested the debdiff in https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus-python/+bug/215714/ and it works, would you be willing to sponsor it?11:53
ubotuLaunchpad bug 215714 in nautilus-python "The path for python extensions should reflect the 2.0 api" [Medium,Confirmed] 11:53
seb128james_w: sure11:54
seb128I'll do that after lunch11:54

mvotjaalton: hello, do you have a moment? I think we talked a while ago about x11-common and that it shouldn't fail if it can not remove /usr/X11R6/bin? I got a report that dapper->hardy can fail if that is not empty and I think that we need to fix it. I'm happy to work on it 15:19
mvotjaalton:  just want to confirm with your first15:21
tjaaltonmvo: oh right, sure15:21
tjaaltonso it can be a 3rd party app that installed stuff in there, and then it could be moved aside and let the user know about it?15:22

mvoyeah15:24
mvoeverything is better than to fail in the preinst15:24
mvoI would say move away and debconf note it, with critical priority if its that important (I have no idea), but failure is the worst solution :)15:25
mvotjaalton: I milestoned it and will check it out after I finished with my current stuff (unless you are quicker of course :P)15:26

tjaaltonmvo: heh15:33
tjaaltonmaybe it would make sense to also add a Conflicts against every package in dapper which has stuff in there.. because otherwise you can't remove those packages fully after the migration, right?15:36

Q-FUNKok, thanks15:54
mvotjaalton: right, a conflicts; foo << (version-with-stuff-in-x11r6)16:01
tjaaltonmvo: yeah.. apt-file failed on me, but there should be a way to get a list of apps that use that dir?16:02
mvotjaalton: we can simply grab the contents file in dapper16:02
tjaaltonmvo: right, that's what apt-file should use too16:03
mvojoy, looks like the contens file in dapper is empty16:04

mvotjaalton: all looks good, please go ahead with the upload22:17
mvotjaalton: maybe we should add a conflicts against xqbiff as well22:19
