mvohey seb12808:28
seb128mvo: I assigned some trivial sponsoring bugs to you let me know if that's not ok and I will not do it again ;-)08:28
seb128mvo: some trivial apt things waiting for weeks08:29
seb128the list was several pages long and I decided to help a bit on it so dholbach doesn't have a nervous breakdown ;-)08:29
mvoseb128: what wsa the bugnumber for the apt thing?08:29

seb128lut crevette08:30
seb128mvo: the translation one should be easy to review, not sure about the other one, you might want to unsubscribe sponsors if that requires extra thinking or discussions08:31
seb128pitti: what do you think about bug #201495? I will try to ping davidz on IRC to get upstream review08:32

pittiseb128: generally looks good, but I haven't really scrutinized the patch; if David is happy with it, sure08:35
mvoseb128: thanks, two of them are fix commited, the other needs some love08:36
seb128pitti: ok, I will try to get davidz to review it08:36
pittithanks!08:36
seb128mvo: can you unsubscribe the sponsor team on those which need work?08:36
seb128or give me the number so I can do it for you08:37
seb128mvo: not sure what you mean by fix commited btw, the update manager typo fix is fix commited since november, or you mean you commited the fix to your bzr now?08:39
mvoseb128: the apt-cache one is probably for apt 0.8 (where some breakage of the output format is ok)08:39
mvoseb128: the compiz one I need to talk about with upstream, I'm not sure about possible side effects08:39
mvoseb128: the other ones look good and are merged :)08:40
seb128mvo: there is a pointer to the upstream bug, they commited the change there with a comment explaining what it does08:40
seb128mvo: ok thanks08:40
mvoseb128: aha, excellent. it should be in the compiz 0.8 branch then :) I will upload that this week08:42
didrockshi seb128, mvo & pitti!08:42
didrocksseb128: no, it was not me for pidgin update :)08:42
seb128mvo: good08:43
seb128didrocks: hello, ok08:44
didrocksseb128: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~didrocks/evince/ubuntu should be ready now :)08:46
crevette I seen chriscoulson did the merge request throught launchpad yesterday08:47
seb128didrocks: excellent08:49
seb128crevette: right, and I wanted to ping mvo about that08:49
didrocksseb128: once done, I will have just one question on gnome-python (but later, I do not have the time now)08:49
seb128mvo: for this totem fix, you just bzr get lp-url and bzr merge directory?08:49
crevettemvo: if you have time to merge lp:~bmillemathias/+junk/bluez-ubuntu to bluez and lp:~bmillemathias/+junk/ubuntu-obex-data-server-4.x in obex-data-server I'd be thanksfull08:50
seb128didrocks: ask now while I'm not too busy ;-)08:50
didrocksseb128: I have to check something before, you think it will be ok in less than 10 minutes ? ;)08:51
* crevette raise its hand for the next question08:51
crevetteraises08:51
seb128didrocks: sure08:51
seb128crevette: don't ask to ask just ask ;-)08:51
crevetteokay, I tried to package nautilus-sendto-universe, with the dh_install, si now I have my *so but also /tmp/buildd in my package so Iwonder if you had time to help me with this08:53
crevetteand my package is still a bit hackish08:53
crevettehttp://pastebin.com/m2a4874d3 is the diff between nautilus-sendto and -universe08:55
seb128crevette: just copy nautilus-sendto08:55
seb128crevette: looking08:55
crevettehttp://pastebin.com/m5f6bb8e8 is the content of the package now08:55
crevetteI'm a bit puzzled by the content of my nautilus-sendto-universe.install08:57
mvocrevette: thanks, merging now08:57
seb128crevette: right, your --prefix= is wrong08:57
seb128use DEB_DESTDIR := debian/tmp rather08:58
mvoseb128: yes, ideally a bzr branch, but a patch is fine. for the merge of chris I will probably just diff it myself (unless he is here today and I can ask him to publish his branch)08:58
seb128the --prefix is where you will get things installed on your system08:58
seb128mvo: pitti did sponsor the totem* updates yesterday08:58
mvoseb128: did he merge them into bzr too?08:59
pittiyes he did08:59
mvocool!08:59
seb128mvo: and he was there yesterday and didn't notice those were using bzr, he said he would be doing updates using it now08:59
mvothanks pitti08:59
mvohm, so the warning in apt should be more prominent?08:59
seb128right08:59
seb128it seems people are used to not read things apt display08:59
seb128I've to admit that after doing some thousand apt-get source I don't read the screen either09:00
seb128just apt-get source, switch to something else, get back there after download and start on the update09:00
seb128I do read it now because I know about some people using bzr09:00
seb128but when you are not aware of that ...09:00
seb128I'm not sure the way the message is displayed is the issue though09:01
seb128it's just habits which need to be changed09:01
mvocrevette: bluez bzr is merged, thanks again (I noticed it got uploaded already, right?)09:03
crevettemvo: yep it is, thanks a lot09:03
crevettemvo: if there is a better way to ping you on IRC tell me09:03
seb128mvo: I did upload obex-data-server and bluez yesterday yes09:03
mvocrevette: irc works fine for me09:04
mvocrevette: obex-data-server merge too, thanks again!09:06
* seb128 hugs mvo09:07
crevettethanks a lot09:07
didrocksseb128: this issue already exists in previous gnome-python package. When executing dh_install --list-missing I have that:09:07
didrocks/usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/bonobo/09:07
didrocksand yes, python-gnome2.install is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/116383/09:07
didrocksoupss, wrong paste for first reference. dh_install give me: dh_install: python-gnome2 missing files (/usr/lib/python*/site-packages/gtk-2.0/bonobo/*.{py,so}), aborting09:08
didrocksand the reason is that data are copied into /usr/lib/python-support/python-gnome2/python2.5/gtk-2.0/bonobo/09:08
didrocksI think this is a dh_pysupport thing, which is not detected by dh_install --list-missing, right?09:08
seb128didrocks: it's likely indeed09:12
didrocksseb128: so, it will be hard to check for missing files :/09:13
seb128right09:14
seb128well the package doesn't change so much09:14
seb128read the NEWS09:14
seb128list new things otherwise assume it's correct09:14
didrocksyes, but it was more for information indeed :)09:14
didrocksso a bonus question is this case :)09:15
didrocksin the package, there is a patch, that change some Makefile.am09:15
didrocksas usually ^^09:15
crevetteseb128: it seems passing DEB_DESTDIR := debian/tmp fails the package to build --> "libtool: install: `debian/tmp/usr/lib/nautilus-sendto/plugins' must be an absolute directory name"09:15
didrocksbut the patch that apply it to configure is not used (commented in dpatch): http://paste.ubuntu.com/116386/09:16
didrocksso, if this patch is no more necessary, we can bump it09:16
crevetteshould I pass $(CURDIR) ?09:16
seb128crevette: right09:17
crevettethanks09:17
seb128you're welcome09:17
seb128didrocks: bump it?09:17
didrocksseb128: remove it, sorry09:18
seb128didrocks: we discussed this update and said to keep the patch but comment it since it's only useful when building for several python versions which is not the case at the moment but it will be useful again when python 2.6 is there?09:19
didrocksseb128: ok, so, there is even no need that I refresh 99-runaclocal+autoconf+automake.dpatch09:19
didrocksatm09:19
seb128no09:20
didrocksseb128: is there a documentation somewhere explaining exactly how this is handled when having serveral python versions? (I am a bit confused with this patch)09:20
didrocksjust we don't specify an explicit PYTHON_LIBS version...09:21
seb128didrocks: "this" being?09:21
seb128didrocks: I don't remember the details about this change, the idea was to not depends on a specific python version09:21
seb128ie not having a hard depends on python2.4 when building for 2.4 and 2.509:22
seb128the change might not be correct09:22
seb128but it was having the right effect09:22
seb128there was no depends on a specific python version09:22
didrocksseb128: ok, so, I will only keep the main idea for the moment and go further to understand this if the need is still present :)09:22
didrocksseb128: thanks a lot. I think the update will be soon available09:23
seb128thinking about it now it might be better to just add a line in debian rules to not calculate shlib:Depends for this .so09:23
didrocksseb128: yes, it can be wiser, maybe09:23
seb128but as said I don't really care right now, it's not required in the current version09:23
seb128thanks ;-)09:23
didrocksseb128: ok, will see when needed ^^09:23

crevetteseb128: the package nautilus-sendto-universe is done, however I think it needs some review, 1) on copyright because I don't know if I should let or remove the creator of the nautilus-sendto package; 2) on control.in for dependency, I set a dependency on nautilus-sendto on the same version than nautilus-sendto-universe10:28
crevetteI put the code on http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bmillemathias/nautilus-sendto/ubuntu/revision/110:29
seb128crevette: let me look at it10:30
seb128crevette: you should update the description10:31
seb128crevette: would be nice to have "this package ships the extra feature which require universe dependencies" or something around those lines10:33
seb128crevette: also why did you add yourself as upstream author in the copyright?10:33
seb128crevette: what you put in the README would be nice in the description10:34
crevetteah right I did the README.Debian but forgot that10:34
crevetteshould I add myself to author ?10:34
crevetteI thought I should add myselft as I modified the package10:34
seb128crevette: use rather source:Version that binary:Version for the depends I would say10:34
seb128crevette: you added yourself in the upstream authors list ...10:34
seb128crevette: upstream means GNOME, the people writting the code10:35
seb128crevette: you can add a line after the first one to say that you added changed to it10:35
seb128ie, this package was debianised by ... and modified for ubuntu by ...10:35
seb128crevette: you can also clean the depends on bluez, thunderbird, etc since those are not required for the universe variant10:37
seb128otherwise the update looks correct10:37
crevette"otherwise" :)10:38
crevetteI wonder what is it remains :10:38
crevette)10:38
didrocksseb128: I wonder what's the difference between ${binary:Version} and ${source:Version}, as all packages must have the same Version?10:39
seb128didrocks: what do you mean must have the same version?10:42
seb128didrocks: crevette is adding a nautilus-sendto-universe source which builds a nautilus-sendto-universe binary which depends on nautilus-sendto10:43
seb128didrocks: ie those are different source packages so they can be out of sync10:43
didrocksseb128: oh ok, and ${binary:Version} will be replaced by nautilus-sendto version?10:43
seb128no10:44
seb128not sure to understand your question10:44
didrocksby nautilus-sendto-universe version10:44
seb128binary:Version is the version of the package itself not from an another one10:44
didrockshum, I do not how ${binary:Version} and ${source:Version} can be different10:44
didrockssee*10:44
seb128binNMUs10:45
didrocks(you talk previously to replace binary by source)10:45
didrocksright, in this case :)10:45
crevettesource can be 1.1.1 and binary 1.1.1-0ubuntu15 ?10:45
seb128we don't have that in ubuntu right now though ;-)10:45
seb128but still10:45
seb128not a recent to not use the correct one10:45
seb128reason10:45
didrocksok, didn't think about binNMU, but right ;)10:46
crevetteso nautilus-sendo-universe can still be installed if it source matches with the one from nautilus-sendto10:46
crevettebinNMU ?10:46
didrocks(seb128: thanks)10:46
didrockscrevette: binary-only non-maintainer upload10:46
seb128crevette: debian can do rebuilds of the same source if required10:49
seb128so the binaries version doesn't match the source one10:49
seb128ie source can be 1-1 and binaries 1-1.110:49

asacbut its snail slow14:41
mvoasac: is it still using software for the rastering? I guess its simply that the hardware support is not yet there for your card14:41

seb128asac: try UXA ;-)15:10
Amaranthdon't use SKIP_CHECKS unless it's failing on a blacklist15:10
Amarantheverything else being checked is "compiz doesn't work without this" stuff15:10
brycepitti: say, how can I get the source for usplash 0.5.27?15:11
pittibryce: debcheckout -a usplash15:11

Davedanyes I get the same issue with gedit16:08
DavedanI'll check a different keyboard but it'll require a restart16:09
Davedanthanks16:09
Davedanmaybe it'll be simpler. does double quotes and single quotes do the same in the command line?16:10
bryceDavedan: often16:10
bryceDavedan: another thing to try is to run 'xev' and see if it receives your ' key16:10
Davedanwhat 'xev' does?16:11
bryceDavedan: I assume ' and " are on the same key?  and the latter works but not the former?16:11
Davedanyes16:11
bryceDavedan: it prints the keycodes received by the system at the X layer16:11

pittibryce: nobody did, that's ok (I didn't really expect anyone)16:40
bryceah, that would explain why we're behind then16:40
pittiit's not a very efficient thing to do while we are all together :)16:40
pittibryce: exactly16:40
tseliotseb128: http://albertomilone.com/ubuntu/gnome/jaunty/gnome-desktop_2.25.5-0ubuntu2.debdiff16:40
pittithat wasn't meant as a blame, just as information that we should catch up this week16:40
pitti=== release status ===16:41
pittiI updated https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/ReleaseStatus today16:41
pittikudos to everyone, we halved the bug list since last week16:41
pittithere's one thing which is new, bug 30948216:41
ubottuLaunchpad bug 309482 in xserver-xorg-video-nv "jaunty: Kubuntu OEM enduser setup fails with black screen (nv driver fails)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/30948216:42
pittibryce: would you have some time to take a look at it and ask for the right debug info?16:42
pittiit was originally filed against oem-setup, but apparently it's an -nv bug16:42
pittiotherwise I'm quite happy about the current status; anything from you?16:42
brycepitti: ok16:43
pittibryce: thank  you16:44
brycepitti: there's several X problems I'm tracking (some of which are now fixed), but generally things are ok for this stage of the release16:44
asacnow that i found why my ati driver was slow with EXA i am happy for the moment16:44
pittiright in time for getting back from the sprint, suspend and hibernate gives me some issues (crashes after some 10 minutes), but I'll handle that as a bug report16:44
pittiAnything else we should talk about?16:45
asacright. i didnt file a bug yet, but once i came back home my laptop now auto log-outs when i suspend16:45
brycepitti: yep I'm following up on a number of reports done during the sprint, we've gotten some patches from upstream, etc.16:45
pittiasac: sure that this isn't X crashing?16:45
bryceasac: check your /var/log/gdm/*.log files to see if X is crashing16:45
asacpitti: could be ... i will check that now16:45
pittiAOB, 2nd?16:46
seb128thanks pitti ;-)16:46
brycepitti: your PowerManagement graphviz diagram looks nice (would be better in inkscape, but...) ;-)16:46
pittibryce: heh, but I wanted to learn dot :)16:46
brycepitti: how is hal ?16:46
pittibryce: and after nudging some of the edges a bit, it actually looks "good enough" imho16:47
asaci wonder if the points on the WorksItems page should reflect the important things i plan to do for jaunty16:47
pittibryce: "how"?16:47
asacor just what came out of specs16:47
brycepitti: any major issues?16:47
pittiasac: they are meant to do both16:47
pittibryce: nothing now TTBOMK; it basically didn't change since hardy, except for a handful of bug fixes16:47
pittibut I keep hammering on hal-info16:47
asacok i think there need to be a bunch more items on it then16:47
pittifixing bugs, quirks, and keymaps by the dozen :)16:47
* pitti pats his commit access, that's really helpful16:48
asaci will try to give an additional list16:48
pittiasac: I think it's actually both16:48
asaci think i will check with rick ;)16:48
pittiasac: i. e. a breakdown of separable issues from specs, as well as other things which need to be done16:48
pittiasac: it's meant to project our progress on work we committed to, to see when/if we are falling behind16:49
asacright. i think its only spec stuff so far for me16:49
pittiasac: I suppose you have quite a bunch of non-spec things, too?16:49
asacand my specs are rather lowish16:49
pittithis is quite a new tool, so we need to improve it a bit (and of course also check out whether it suits us at all)16:49
* pitti waves at rickspencer3116:49
* calc has something to bring up16:50
pittiso we need shiny graphs :)16:50
pitticalc: go ahead, please16:50
calcRiddell: do we want to disable KDE support, i mentioned this in my status report but i didn't know whether we actually want to go ahead with it or not16:50
calcbackground on this for others is OOo has KDE integration but only for KDE 3 which requires the kdelibs4 be on the cd's16:51
Riddellcalc: I think not16:51
calcMandriva has already dropped KDE support in their release16:51
Riddellwe're not desperate for that extra space on the CD and not having nice widgets is really ugly16:51
calcRiddell: ok that is fine with me :)16:51
pittiis that actually widgets, or more like file selector and print dialog?16:51
Riddellpitti: both16:51
calcjust wanted to know for certain since i will need to do an upload about as soon as i get home from hamburg16:51
pitti(loosing the latter would really be sad, I think)16:52
calcpitti: all of it16:52
calcRiddell: if you can find someone knowledgable enough to do the porting work that would be very helpful :)16:52
calcKendy from Novell doesn't apparently have the time to do it anytime soon16:52
Riddellit would indeed16:52
pittiok, so we can note down as a decision to leave everything in place for jaunty16:54
calcyes that is fine :)16:54
pittiRiddell: how's the Kubuntu CD space-wise, once all mysqlish stuff gets added?16:54
Riddellpitti: still 30 to 40MB free16:55
pittiwow, nice16:55
asacsounds efficient16:55
pittiwell, I guess it doesn't have langpacks yet16:55
Riddellright16:55
seb128pitti: speaking about CD space did you look at how much the GNOME updates changed on the ubuntu CD thanks to your changes?16:56
pittiseb128: not recently; once all are done, it should amount to some 10 MB on the desktop16:56
calcroom for java on the desktop now :)16:57
seb128we rebuilt most of GNOME this week16:57
seb128no, room for translations on the desktop rather16:57
calcheh16:57
pittilooking at /usr/share/gconf/schemas/, many packages are already converted, but some big ones are still missing16:58
pitti-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1256414 2008-12-09 20:13 ekiga.schemas16:58
pitti-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1248978 2009-01-13 12:13 metacity.schemas16:58
pittibeing the two biggest ones16:58
mclasenmay I ask where those gconf patches are ?16:58
seb128mclasen: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56884516:59
ubottuGnome bug 568845 in gconf "Please support calling gettext() at runtime instead of shipping static translations" [Enhancement,Unconfirmed]16:59
pittiseb beat me to it16:59
pittiI still need to find some time to apply some enhancement proposals I got from the feedback there17:00
* mclasen thinks it is funny how an intltool bug gets turned into a feature here...17:00
pittimclasen: intltool bug?17:00
dobeyeh?17:00
mclasenpitti: that it leaves all those translations in the mo files17:00
pittimclasen: that was by design, not a bug17:00
mclasenafter mergeing them back into whereever they came from17:00
dobeyit's not a bug, and it's not intltool17:00
dobeythat's how gettext works17:01
pittianyway, that's post-meeting stuff17:01
pittiseems we are done otherwise, though17:01
mclasendobey: intltool is what takes strings out of xml, puts them  in a po17:01
pittiso, thanks everyone17:01
mclasenand merges translations back into xml, no ?17:01
pitti[end of meeting]17:01
seb128thanks pitti17:01
asacthanks!17:01
pittimclasen: no, out of a po, into an xml17:01
mclasenand in the process it forgets to remove the translations from the mo file17:01
mclasenI've filed a bug about it17:01
dobeyintltool doens't put anything in mo files17:02
pittimclasen: there's another step that xgettext's the template xml files into pots17:02
dobeyand it may or may not merge back into one or more xml files17:02
pittimclasen: but that's exactly the wrong way around...17:02
mclasenwhatever, the end result is: if your project is using intltool, your mo files are larger than they should be17:02
brycepitti: thanks17:02
mclasenwe can certainly discuss this away from being an intltool bug17:02
pittithey shuold stay in the mo and stop being replicated all over the place (.desktop, .schema, .directory, .icon, and whatnot)17:02
pittiputting bundled static translations into text files makes it so utterly hard to update them17:03
* rickspencer31 waves17:03
pittirickspencer31: right on time :)17:03
seb128;-)17:03
=== rickspencer31 is now known as rickspencer3
rickspencer3:)17:04
* mclasen stops pointless intltool debate, best to avoid it17:04
pittimclasen: also, chances are that the same string is used in other places (such as teh code itself), so you can't just remove everything from the .mo files which gets merged into a .schema or .desktop17:04
pittimclasen: I wasn't saying that intltool would DTRT, it clearly doesn't17:05
mclasenpitti: of course you cannot just remove all strings17:05
mclasenin our rpms, I use msgmerge to filter out whats unneeded17:05
pittimclasen: ah, seems everyone has their own little build wrappers :)17:06
pittimclasen: but in the case of .schema files, how do you solve the duplication of translations in /usr/share/gconf/schemas/ and /var/lib/gconf/defaults/%gconf-tree-$LANGCODE.xml?17:07
pitti(well, I guess they aren't in the same path in other distros, but they are certainly somewhere)17:07
mclasenpitti: I am open to the idea that going via gettext() might be right for schemas17:07
mclasenthe really right solution for gconf would be to keep all translations client-side in gconf-editor, I guess17:08
pittimclasen: you mean in g-e's PO files?17:09
mclasenno, I mean there should be no need for gconfd to open all the worlds .mo files17:09
mclasengconf-editor could do that,17:10
pittiabsolutely17:10
mclasenin some future replacement of gconf17:10
pittiit shuold happen in the client-side library only17:10
pittiand in fact my patch does that (or at least means to)17:11
pittiI haven't checked whether gconfd itself calls gconf_schema_get_{long,short}_desc(), though17:11
pitti(if it would, then not doing so would certainly be a worthwhile optimization)17:12
seb128pitti: do you use an amd64 jaunty right now?17:17
pittiseb128: no, but I can rsync and boot a live CD if that helps you?17:17
seb128don't bother17:18
pittijust did a fresh install yesterday, but again i38617:18
pittibut yay ext4 :)17:18
seb128;-)17:18
seb128that's for bug #32767117:18
ubottuLaunchpad bug 327671 in gnome-python "python-gconf: built with rpath" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/32767117:18
pittiseb128: you just need to check whether it has an rpath, or test a fix?17:19
pitti(the former should be independent of the host platform)17:19
seb128test if there is a rpath17:20
seb128are you sure? I though that was an amd64 issue17:20
seb128I don't have an rpath on my i386 install17:20
pittiseb128: I mean, download the deb, extract it, run chrpath on it17:20
seb128good idea thanks17:21

Amaranthdavmor2: that's compiz, right?17:38
davmor2Amaranth: Yes compiz is enabled17:39
Amaranthdavmor2: There is a bug report for that, although the latest 180 driver should have fixed it17:40
davmor2Amaranth: that is the 180 driver.  I'm only smoke testing so I'll try again tomorrow and see if it is fixed then :)17:41

rickspencer3asac: I saw the role up from the team meeting today17:49
rickspencer3wrt work items17:49
asacrickspencer3: yes, go ahead17:51
rickspencer3asac: don't stress about it. Just update the items there and we can talk when I am back online next week17:52
asacrickspencer3: ok.17:53
rickspencer3It shouldn't cause any anxiety, it's just a way for me to judge (numericaly) how much progress we are making17:53
rickspencer3we can talk about how to make it more accurate, but I don't want it to cause more than 5 minutes of extra work a week17:53
asacrickspencer3: right, i will send you a list of items that should on there anyway i guess.17:54
rickspencer3if you want17:54
rickspencer3that would be great17:54
asacnot many. just a few additions ;)17:54
rickspencer3you can just add them to the wiki if you want17:54
asacok cool. i think i can figure the syntax ;)17:54
rickspencer3but email me if that's easier for you17:54
rickspencer3lol17:55
asacrickspencer3: one more thing. i subscribed you to two bugs as they are about things where we interface with/deliver to dx team. let me know if thats ok or if you want some other procedure for that17:55
rickspencer3asac: actually, I thought that was a really good idea17:56
rickspencer3feel free to do so for other bugs if that would help17:56
asacright, thought was a good thing for you to be in the loop for inter-team stuff17:56
pittirickspencer31: right now the process of updating those seems quite unclear to me -- does that happen in reports, or we directly edit the wiki page, or the blueprint status?18:24
rickspencer31pitti: i dunno18:24
rickspencer31I just thought it would be easy this week for everyone to update the wiki for this week, and then I can run my script and generate that little table18:25

pittirickspencer31: ah, forgot that, sorry18:25
pittirickspencer3: I'll do it ASAP18:25
rickspencer3NO RUSH18:25
rickspencer3I really wanted this to be a low stress, 5 minute a week thing to help roughly track progress18:26
pittirickspencer3: so you aren't generating the wiki page automatically, it's the primary source?18:26
* pitti waves good night, 'nuff for today18:26
