ftahi17:15
fta?17:15
plunfta: users are annoyed about Hotmails "dustbin" for mail....17:18
plunWhy are we using Ubuntu as useragent ? we are running Mozilla Firefox !17:18
ftanot my choice17:18
plunRather stupid, IMHO....  ;)17:19
plunI have no problem with TB3 and the "dustbin" addon.... more a "newbie challenge  ;)17:20
ftai guess it's for distrowatch or something17:21
ftaasac, ^^17:22
[reed]fta: what's the UA?18:30
fta[reed], in 3.1, i have Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1b2pre) Gecko/20081106 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Shiretoko/3.1b2pre18:31
[reed]er, why are you building with official branding for a nightly?18:31
[reed]:(18:31
ftachanged that last week18:32
[reed]Shiretoko/3.1b2pre doesn't exist... should be Minefield/3.1b2pre18:32
[reed]Shiretoko/3.1b2 will exist soon18:32
ftawell18:33
ftai used minefield for months18:34
[reed]and you just got tired of the name?18:34
[reed]lol18:34
fta[reed], why does it matter ? it's not an official ubuntu build18:40
ftaI just have ~500 users18:41
[reed]yeah18:41
[reed]probably doesn't18:41
ftawell, maybe more, at least 500 are reporting stats to ubuntu18:42
ftait seems i have >7200 users for songbird18:43
directhexfta, PPA stats?18:43
ftapopcon18:43
directhexah18:43
* directhex has >12000 users for mono backports18:43
ftayep, probably, i don't advertize much, if at all, and only in the dev version18:45
ftadirecthex, how do you identify those 12000 users?18:46
directhexfta, i don't point to the PPA directly, i mirror & sign (using a script from mythbuntu)18:47
directhexfta, so i have web logs from the web host18:47
ftaoh, ok18:47
directhexjust track unique IPS grabbing Packages.gz18:47
ftalol, what about dyn IPs?18:47
plun fta: sorry missed this....  I know what asac thinks about this...   hack Hotmail...  ;)18:56
plundirecthex...  can you please fix Moonlight...  ;)18:57
plunfta:  I asked yesterday about FF3.1 and Jauntu, possible... ?19:02
plunWe cannot "wait and wait and wait" for Debians never ending talks... !19:02
plunJaunty... sorry  ;)19:03
directhexfta, i assume dynamic users balance out NAT users19:04
directhexplun, define "fix"19:04
ftaplun, it's possible, i will post b2 in universe for sure19:07
directhexplun, i have packages ready, but am withholding them for now19:07
plundirecthex:  Ok.... I be glad to test :)  Moonlight 1.0 was a piece of junk, IMHO19:14
plunfta: all users must be force to use FF3.1, otherwise we cannot nail bugs... !19:16
plunWith FF3 we waited and waited....  wrong strategy.19:16
plunLet the "whinings" go on and users and devs finds more bugs !19:16
ftaplun, no, it will not become default until final 3.119:17
ftaif moz is late, we don't want to ship jaunty with a beta as in hardy19:17
plunfta...  "baaah"...   it is Debian strategy  ?..  maybe I am a "cannibal"  but slangasek is terrible wrong.. !19:18
plunfta: it must be tested in long run !19:19
ftaplun, it's not my call anyway, i can't upload to main ;)19:21
directhexplun, moon 1.0 hasn't been tagged yet has it? i know it's been branched19:22
plunfta: well... hack it...  :)     I cannot understand it anyway....  dev version waiting for a stable version...sounds crazy !19:23
plundirecthex: Ok... I have tested Moon 1.0 and its junk IMHO.... worthless.19:24
directhexcould be worse. tried Gnash?19:24
plundirecthex... yes.. even more, clear tragedy...19:26
plunfta: tell someone which is going to Googles fort that FF3.1 must be tested.... even before Debian says it stable  ;)19:29
plunGood night !19:29
ftadirecthex, Moonlight guys have access to a spec right?19:34
directhexfta, right19:35
ftagnash guys do not19:35
directhexfta, they do now. adobe recently allowed access to the swf spec for apps other than swf creators19:35
ftadirecthex, really? are they using it? i discussed with rob 5 months ago at the last UDS, it seems to me he would prefer losing an eye rather than using that, but maybe i'm wrong19:38
directhexrob who?19:38
ftathe creator of gnash19:39
ftaRob Savoye19:42
directhex"Adobe has removed the entire license agreement from the SWF and FLV/F4V specifications.

ftanice19:48
ftawhen did that happen?19:49
directhexMay19:51
ftahm, uds was in may19:51
ftaand gnash didn't make any progress since ?19:51
directhexwell, i tried it on bbc iplayer. it ate 600 meg of ram then crashed my browser19:55
ftagasp19:56
directhexi'm hoping upstream will get my ITV Catchup bug fixed before 1.0 is actually released19:59
directhexwhich would mean the silverlight-using british broadcaster is fine with Free Software, but the Flash-using one is not20:00

sebnerRainCT: at 22:4321:50
RainCTlol21:50
NCommanderThe justification is there, removing firefox 2 from the archive for Jaunty.21:50
RainCTThat's not a justification. Leaving it does no harm, removing it makes backports more difficult.21:51
RainCTNot that this really matters but it seems a pointless effort to me.21:51
NCommanderRainCT, as long as it depends on firefox, backports will work just fine21:51
RainCTNCommander: Uhm, right, but anyway. It's time doing the upload, time on the build servers, and jaunty users having to download and install a new version for no real benefit. It would make more sense to just do this as a secondary change when there's a real reason to touch a package.21:53
RainCTbut feel free to ignore me :P21:53
* NCommander points to the two uploads done before him :-)21:54
ftawe already touched all the packages to add abrowser and we got a lot of complains from angry users spammed by launchpad21:55
* RainCT also considered adding abrowser to be a pointless change :P21:55
ftaotherwise, i already have a script to mass update this, no need to spend more than 1 minute on this if it's wanted21:56
ftabut i don't think it is21:56
ftaRainCT, yep, i had no hard feeling about abrowser. i'm not using it.21:57
RainCTwell, it's not about wheter it's used or not, but abrowser provides firefox so it wasn't necessary to add an alternative dependency for it21:58

NCommanderI never heard of chromium until Google Crome came out22:08
RainCToh of course22:09
* RainCT sees a name conflict coming :P22:09
ftai should have named it chrome, or google-chrome, as it's more than just chromium22:09
RainCTfta: chromium is a game :P22:09

mconnorone would think22:25
ftachromium is chrome without some features, but to build it, you currently need those features, so it's not chromium22:26
ftayou need 9 source trees :(22:27

directhex"(Shhh, don't tell anyone but if you build test_shell, it can actually render something recognisable) "22:37

NCommanderI dunno why, but I personally find WebKit browsers under Linux to seemingly suck22:40
NCommanderI dunno why22:40
ftadirecthex, there is one, but.. well...  http://www.sofaraway.org/ubuntu/tmp/chrome.png22:41
RainCTnow that's what I call a feature-full UI :)22:47
