cgreganbrianchidester: I'm having some home construction starting up.....I will be in a bit late today while they ramp up. Ping me if you need anything.14:06
persiaian_brasil, About hildonisation: Personally, I think it's best when upstreams either build both binaries, or make it available as a compile flag.  In the latter case, I think it's best to build twice in packaging so that every architecture has both the hildonised and non-hildonised variants available.16:03

ian_brasilAM_CONDITIONAL(WITH_HILDON, test "x$enable_hildon" = "xyes")16:07
persiaian_brasil, That's the nice easy way to do it :)  In that case, in the packaging, you'll want to have two build runs, to create the liferea and liferea-hildon binaries.16:08
ian_brasilah ok , cool16:09
persiaIdeally, it would be nice to support a hildon environment for !lpia architectures : as an example, there are a few powerpc devices for which such an environment would be useful.16:09
persiaCurrently, many of the hildonised packages in the repos are done in an architecture-specific manner, which means 1) it's hard to support powerpc or older i586 or i486 devices, and 2) One can't safely install Ubuntu Desktop or Ubuntu UMPC as lpia.16:11
persiaGiven the increasing form factor of lpia devices, and recent news about more new powerpc devices, I think both of those are bugs worth fixing.16:11
ian_brasilthat is a great idea..i have an old powerbook powerpc that would look great hildonized16:19
persiaian_brasil, Well, I was thinking of things like http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS6400447723.html or http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS9467588685.html but it works for older stuff too :)16:21
persiaOf course, 1GB flash is kinda small, but that's probably fixable somehow.16:22

rhpot1991_laptopogra: ever get anywhere with the umpc to standard desktop howto?20:46
ograrhpot1991_laptop, i never planned one for "standard" ... i think you mean https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/Mobile/HowTo/TurnUMPCDesktopIntoNetbook20:46
rhpot1991_laptophmmmm, would it be hard to turn umpc into a standard desktop, and would that have any benefits over just using regular ubuntu?20:50
ograrhpot1991_laptop, just only use the first apt-get remove :)20:53
ograand wipe ~/.gconf20:54
ograafter that and installing firefox, you have a default ubuntu desktop  20:54
ografeel free to make a howto out of that ;)20:54
rhpot1991_laptopheh, if its no different then its better to just stick with the standard install20:54
rhpot1991_laptopI know some eee specific distros do tweaks to try and keep window sizes smaller, was wondering if anything like that would be in place20:55
ogranot yet20:56
ograwe will start pulling in app patches and also push them upstream in jaunty20:57
rhpot1991_laptopat least I think eeebuntu is doing that, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me20:57
ograumps in intrepid was only a first shot, mainly to get attention and generate feedback, in jaunty it might look totally different20:57
