dobeylool: ui files should already work in intltool. i think there's a bug about context support though, but danilo would be better suited to discuss that08:06
looldobey: I filed LP #381347 to cover them better; care for merging the changes?08:19

dobeylool: i'll check it, thanks08:20
seb128cassidy: hey, there10:30
seb128cassidy: do you know if empathy has or will get otr?10:30
cassidyprobably not because we thing that OTR is bong10:31
seb128how so?10:32
seb128cassidy: discussing pidgin vs empathy for karmic10:33
cassidywe think that OTR is not right way to implement security and encryption10:34
seb128anything equivalent on the schedule?10:35
cassidywe have some plan to implement p2p encryption in Gabble10:35
cassidybut tbh I doubt that will be ready for karmic10:35
seb128ok10:35
seb128and is video chat working or will working soon in 2.27?10:36
cassidyvideo chat is working with XMPP with 2.2610:36
cassidybigger current issue is the sound because of PA10:36
cassidywe have someone implementing it in MSN10:36
seb128likely to be fixed for 2.28?10:36
cassidyaudio sound is really a pulseaudio and/or gst issue10:37
cassidynot an Empathy one10:37
seb128ok10:37
cassidyI should test latest gst-plugins-good to see it that helps10:37
cassidythey rewrote the pa audio src10:37
seb128ok, sold10:37
cassidyheu sink10:37
seb128we got empathy by default soon and test it10:37
cassidywoot :)10:38
seb128got -> get10:38
Zdra!!10:38
seb128if it works great we keep it, if it doesn't we can roll back to pidgin later in the cycle10:38
seb128ready to get lot of extra feedback from users? ;-)10:38
cassidyseb128: tbh, I still expect regressions from Pidgin atm but having it by default would helps us to catch the bigger ones10:39
seb128right, we want to try to get it ready for next lts10:39
seb128ie 9 months from now10:39
cassidycool :)10:39
seb128cassidy Zdra: do you know about sip support?10:39
seb128it seems to be listed in the accounts list10:40
Zdraseb128: cassidy: It depends on the kind of regression. I think audio/video is a great improvement that justify a million of "regression" because users at used to totally useless plugins10:40
Zdraseb128: yes, we support SIP audio/video10:40
seb128we don't care about extra things users can install10:40
seb128they can still install pidgin if they do that10:40
Zdraseb128: the problem with SIP is we don't have locally stored addressbook10:41
Zdraseb128: and we don't support SIMPLE to get contact list from server for SIP10:41
Zdraseb128: so the user has to retype the phone number or the sip ID each time he wants to call someone...10:42
seb128ok10:42
Zdraseb128: with an arguably ugly and broken UI10:42
seb128and do you use libopal for codecs or that kind of thing?10:42
Zdraseb128: no, codecs are all provided by gst10:42
Zdrawith farsight, etc10:42
Zdrait works the same way as xmpp voip10:43
seb128ok thanks10:43
Zdraseb128: in practice, for video encoding you often need h263 which is not in ubuntu by default because of patent10:43
Zdraseb128: but for empathy<>empathy calls, we support theora10:43
seb128good10:44
seb128zeroconf seems to be not working great10:44
seb128some people are not listed10:44
Zdra:(10:46
seb128anyway those are bugs10:46
Zdraseb128: zeroconf is tested once per year on the crappy guadec network :p10:46
cassidyseb128: tp-salut is actively maintained so we are interested in bugs :)10:48
seb128good!10:49
cassidybtw, we already receive lot of Empathy bug reports so help from the Ubuntu community to triage LP bugs and report them upstream when needed would be needed10:50
seb128right10:51
seb128cassidy: is IRC working in empathy?10:52
cassidyit's "working" but user experience could really be improved10:52
cassidyfor example, I'm still using xchat-gnome10:53
cassidybut hope to switch to Empathy at some point10:53
seb128ok good10:53
Zdracassidy: on the other hand, I can't use pidgin for IRC neither...10:54
Zdrasome people like that kind of UI, and empathy is not that different10:54
Zdrabut for me xchat-like UI is much much better10:54
seb128right11:00
cassidyseb128: does that mean Empathy and tp-package will move to main ?11:00
seb128we have people using pidgin for IRC though11:00
seb128yes11:00
seb128but archive reorganization is coming soon11:01
cassidywill bigon be still allowed to upload them? He's doing a really good job at getting packages up to date and sync with Debian11:01
seb128ie no main and universe but team for packages basically11:01
looldidrocks: Pushed gettext support11:01
seb128cassidy: not until archive reorg no11:03
cassidy:(11:03
looldidrocks: I wish we'd pick some python packaging tool; autotools, distutils, whatever11:05
bigonhe11:06
Zdraseb128: you may consider libchamplain and geoclue too. They are going to be used in next empathy release (optional dep) to show location of your contacts on a world map11:08
Zdraseb128: that's a really cool feature11:08
Zdraseb128: no other open source IM program has that afaik11:08
pochucassidy: unless he applies to be a core-dev :)11:08
pochubigon: ^ that's you ;)11:09
* bigon would be glad if empathy supports vcard :o11:09
jcastroseb128: no one from the desktop team is at this dual wallpaper session11:10
jcastroseb128: is there a scheduling error or something?11:10
bigonpochu: mmm11:11
pochubigon: re: empathy et al being moved to main11:12
bigonyeah I guess that ;) going through sponsorship will be a lot of pain and delay11:14
bigon:/11:14
hyperairso i hear empathy's replacing pidgin?11:14
hyperairif it is, i'd actually love to see empathy being able to group contacts11:15
istaz_bigon: it can't be longer that your debian application anyway11:15
pochuhyperair: it is, yes11:16
hyperairpochu: but empathy can't group contacts! am i the only one who uses that feature and will miss it?11:16
Zdrahyperair: you mean metacontacts?11:16
bigonistaz_: :p11:16
hyperairer yeah11:16
hyperairwait, does empathy have something of that sort?11:16
hyperairi couldn't find it11:16
bigonI was talking about maintaining pkg through sponsorship11:17
Zdrano11:17
pochuI use groups11:17
Zdrahyperair: we have plans for that, but unfortunately nobody is working to make it happen11:17
hyperair=(11:17
bigonso what will be migrated to main? empathy libtp-glib? CM? (tp-gabble, tp-salut)11:17
bigonwhat else?11:18
cassidytp-fs and friends11:18
bigonright11:18
bigonand the geloc stuff?11:19
cassidybigon: geoloc uses libchamplain and geoclue11:39
bigonand the migration to main will be made during this release cycle?11:44
pochubigon: yes11:45
pochubigon: they are switching from pidgin to empathy for the default install11:45

BrucevdkHi I couldn't find a bug but does anybody know why Firefox doesn't ship with the SVG? At least not in Intrepid.21:32
andreasnBrucevdk, the svg of what?21:36
BrucevdkFirefox, application logo21:36
andreasnI don't think it ever did that21:37
andreasnwhat's the issue? Bad scaling?21:37
BrucevdkNo, there is no SVG included at all21:37
Tm_Tnever been IIRC21:38
Brucevdkno, well, why not?21:38
Tm_Task Mozilla foundation? IIRC they provide "closed source" png only or something along those lines21:38
andreasnthere is a bug open regarding that it should ship more sizes on linux, but I don't think the svg is needed21:39
andreasnas long as we make sure we have a 256x256 icon at least21:39
andreasnthat would allow it to look sane in gnome-do21:39
Brucevdksure, that would probably do for most cases21:39
Brucevdkstill21:40
Brucevdknot for edge cases21:40
Brucevdkwell actually21:40
Brucevdkdownscaling probably would be relatively ok21:40
Brucevdkandreasn: still, would complicate the logic for doing things like proper scaling in the panel methinks21:41
Tm_Tstill, there's nothing we can do except ask the Firefox icon to be changed or relicensed?21:41
andreasnthe bitmap library is pretty good at scaling stuff between the key sizes21:42
andreasnwhile I'm not sure librsvg would actually be capable of displaying a svg version of the firefox logo correctly21:43
Brucevdkhmm alright, I'm satisfied for now, for myself I've got the SVG setup anyways21:44
Brucevdkthanks21:46
