TheMusoHey rickspencer3, robert_ancell.00:02
robert_ancellTheMuso, hi00:02
rickspencer3robert_ancell: TheMuso: hi guyses00:03
TheMusoHey rickspencer3.00:04
* awe waves00:04
rickspencer3hi awe00:04
rickspencer3https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2009-06-3000:04
rickspencer3I haven't had a chance to copy over any notes from this morning00:05
rickspencer3I don't actually think it will take to long for us to run through these00:06
rickspencer3ready?00:06
robert_ancellgo00:06
TheMusosure00:06
awe+100:06
rickspencer3ok, first, if you don't have travel arranged for Dublin, please arrange it asap, prices are going up quickly00:06
rickspencer3A bunch of us are going to Desktop Summit00:07
TheMusoIts just about arranged on my part, since I'm travelling with StevenK.00:07
rickspencer3seb128, Riddell, robert_ancell, me, kenvandine00:07
rickspencer3TheMuso: great00:07
robert_ancellI'm battling the travel agent to finally send me an eticket00:08
rickspencer3hmm00:08
rickspencer3robert_ancell: do you need help?00:08
robert_ancellrickspencer3, I've got the route chosen, I just send a reminder email today to confirm that it is booked00:08
rickspencer3ok00:08
rickspencer3I'll be traveling starting tomorrow, so let randa know if you have problems getting your travel arrangements closed00:09
robert_ancellsure00:09
aweok00:09
rickspencer3so then there was the partner update00:10
rickspencer3essentially U1 file synching is still almost in universe again00:10
TheMusoCool.00:10
rickspencer3I guess there was a big round of reviews on the packaging, and this sent dobey back to relayout the bzr branches and such00:10
rickspencer3also, DXE hasn't quite published their plan for Karmic ...00:11
rickspencer3but they are doing a new FUSA to be compatible with new gdm00:11
robert_ancellIs that FUSA going upstream?00:12
rickspencer3so kenvandine is in charge of getting gdm-new and the new Fusa into the archive soon, and smoothley00:12
TheMusoCool00:12
* TheMuso notes his activity report is not yet on that pagre.00:12
rickspencer3robert_ancell: well, it's open source, so if they want it, however, I think it's kind of a replacement, so the intention was not to be a new upstream FUSA (so far as I can tell)00:12
rickspencer3TheMuso: right, I haven't copied those over yet, I'll get to it before I leave, don't worry00:13
robert_ancellrickspencer3, I ask because I did some work on the fusa package and it is full of Ubuntu patches and doesn't seem to be worked on upstream.  So it would be good if this can replace the existing upstream project00:13
* TheMuso is not worried.00:13
rickspencer3robert_ancell: ok, please bring that up with seb12800:14
robert_ancellwill do00:14
rickspencer3thanks00:14
rickspencer3ACTION: robert_ancell to discuss upstream of DXE FUSA applet wtih seb128 and kenvandine00:14
rickspencer3Kubuntu ...00:14
rickspencer3first, they have a bootable usb drive making tool now, so they can make netbook images00:15
rickspencer3second, those images aren't actually tweaked for netbooks yet, but the package of netbook settings is created, it just needs the settings00:15
rickspencer3so your netbook can be Kubutulicious in a matter of a couple of weeks, I'm guessing00:16
awecool00:16
rickspencer3third, their was some discussion regarding Kubuntu and web browsers00:16
rickspencer3Arora is the new KDE default browser, but they can't just remove conqi because they are afraid of backlash and such00:17
TheMusoI assume that uses webkit.00:17
awecorrect00:17
rickspencer3TheMuso: yes, I believe Arora does00:17
rickspencer3but not Konqueror00:18
rickspencer3so in terms of x, they are still ahead on merges, and KMS is on by default, but not causing a big spike in bugs00:18
TheMusoYeah I know konq didn't.00:18
rickspencer3there are some x freezes associated with suspend/resume, though00:19
* TheMuso should test his hardware to be sure all is ok.00:19
rickspencer3it looks like translations are moving along ok00:20
rickspencer3then we had a big discussion about PPAs versus Archives00:21
rickspencer3essentially, there has been a tendency lately to put new stuff into PPAs instead of into Karmic universe00:21
rickspencer3this has caused some unpredictability around scheduling ... as it is less clear when something has "landed", and00:21
TheMusoright00:22
RiddellI may reconsider the konqueror issue, depends on the reaction from upstream on changing browser, there's a definate appetite for moving to something newer now00:22
rickspencer3it also means that we are all developing on difference configurations00:22
rickspencer3hi Riddell!00:22
rickspencer3Do you guys have anything in PPAs that are bound for universe or main?00:22
rickspencer3or know of anything?00:22
awenope00:23
robert_ancellno00:23
TheMusoWell pulse may be tested in a PPA, but it may just go straight to karmic.00:23
rickspencer3TheMuso: please discuss with pitti when he wakes up00:24
rickspencer3in essence, we are preferring to go strait to Karmic00:24
TheMusorickspencer3: He already asked me about it.00:24
rickspencer3heh00:24
rickspencer3and?00:24
TheMusoWell it requires yet another dependency in main before it can go in.00:24
TheMusoSO short term, it will be PPA, till we get the new dependency into main.00:25
RiddellKDE 4.3 RC 1 is in PPA and being uploaded to main00:25
rickspencer3I see00:25
rickspencer3ok00:25
rickspencer3TheMuso: please focus on moving it into main as fast as reasonably possible00:25
rickspencer3Riddell: ok00:25
TheMusorickspencer3: I will, gotta get it packaged first.00:26
rickspencer3TheMuso: understood00:26
rickspencer3The point is that we should strive to not things languish in PPAs, the sooner they get into archives the better00:26
TheMusoYep.00:26
rickspencer3so we shouldn't feel a false sense of security if something is in a PPA00:27
rickspencer3(this is a general point, not directed specifically at Pulse Audio)00:27
rickspencer3speaking of PPAs - gdm-new00:27
* TheMuso nods.00:27
rickspencer3if you can, please test it from the desktop team ppa00:27
rickspencer3similarly, please set up asac's mozilla security updates ppa so those can be tested as well when they are available00:28
rickspencer3here's a link to the mozilla ppa: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ppa00:29
rickspencer3do you guys have any agenda items?00:29
TheMusoNo.00:29
robert_ancellno00:30
aweNo, I do want to follow up with TheMuso afterwards re: my review of his spec...00:30
rickspencer3ok00:30
rickspencer3thanks guyses!00:30
awethanks00:30
TheMusoawe: Ok, sounds good. As I said, I don't understand the volume scaling stuff at all.00:32
aweTheMuso: I have a fair large amount of comments for you... should I add email them to you, or add them to the blueprint whiteboard?00:32
aweTheMuso: I think from what I heard at UDS, the volume scaling would be solved by using the Pulse volume control and leaving the ALSA volume fixed00:33
aweat least that's what I thought I heard Daniel say00:33
TheMusoawe: Right, add them to the whiteboard is probably the best, so then everyone else like dtchen then sees them.00:33
aweok00:34
aweOne thing's that's confusing is whether I comment on the Blueprint, the Specification or both?00:34
TheMusoawe: Thanks00:34
awenp00:35
TheMusoWell I wasn't the one who proposed the blueprint/spec for karmic, so I don't know.00:35
TheMusoTO me, audio is one of those things that requires ongoing maintenance, and when things are made to work upstream, we get them to work in Ubuntu.00:35
TheMusoi.e doesn't really require a spec.00:35
TheMusobut I'll go with what has been asked for. *sighs*00:36
aweok00:37
aweI'll just go ahead and add to the whiteboard as you suggested...00:38
TheMusoThanks.00:42

pittiGood morning07:18
robert_ancellhey pitti.  Do you know the status of GNOME 3 in Ubuntu?07:37
pittirobert_ancell: seb and a few others are packaging gnome-shell and zeitgeist07:40
robert_ancellpitti, are there packages available?07:40
pittirobert_ancell: as for the library deprecation, seb works on some smaller issues (droppling libglade, etc.), there were some 2 uploads for this07:40
pittirobert_ancell: no idea, I'm afraid; zeitgeist does have pacakges somewhere07:40
robert_ancellpitti, also, do you remember a gnome-scan discussion at UDS? What was the outcome/07:41
pittirobert_ancell: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-karmic-gnomescan07:42
pittirobert_ancell: this says to switch07:42
pittirobert_ancell: however, I hope that current upstream versions are better than what we have in karmic07:43
pittithe latter is absolutely useless07:43
robert_ancellpitti, I just bought a scanner today and xsane is not great07:43
pittirobert_ancell: I know, but try gnome-scan07:44
pittiyou can't even get the job done with it :)07:44
pittirobert_ancell: gscan2pdf is pretty good, but it was deemed too complex07:44
robert_ancellpitti, I just tried it then and it does the scan but doesn't show anything :(07:44
pittiwell, it has the workflow the wrong way around, no possibility to rotate or fix the brightness/gamma, etc.07:44
robert_ancellpitti, yes, gscan2pdf does seem to work the best for me08:02
robert_ancellthanks08:02
pittihey seb12808:12
seb128hey pitti!08:12
ajmitchhi seb12808:12
seb128hi ajmitch, it has been a while, how are you?08:12
ajmitchI'm good :)08:13
* ajmitch has been around a bit lately :)08:13
seb128yeah I noticed some uploads from you08:13
ajmitchI made some spare time :)08:13
seb128good!08:14
pittihey ajmitch08:14
* seb128 wonders why pitti apologized on the list08:16
seb128I start having enough of those mono wars there, they discussed the topic enough by now you could think08:17
pittiright, and I sort of threw the gauntlet again08:17
pitti"Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level, then beat you with experience."08:17
pitti(completely ramdon quote which just came to my mind)08:18
seb128;-)08:18
pittirandom, too08:18
seb128I like it ;-)08:18
* ajmitch understands your frustration :)08:18
seb128I just ignore those guys nowadays08:18
seb128especially the ones saying "I'm switching distro if you don't do what I want"08:18
ajmitchthey sometimes provide amusement08:18
ajmitchcurrent set of karmic packages are safe to run at the moment, aren't they?08:19
TheMusoseb128: Hi again. Just a heads up, if you use an NVIDIA card with X, the nvidia-180 drivers don't seem to build against 2.6.31 currently, so you may have to hold off your sound test with 2.6.31 if you use NVIDIA, at least till the dkms package is fixed.08:19
pittiajmitch: really current current, with gdm fixed, yes08:19
* ajmitch tends to upgrade by picking & choosing in synaptic, and saw the gdm issues yesterday08:19
* TheMuso found that out today when wanting to test 2.6.31 with something else.08:20
seb128TheMuso, I'm using an intel card and sounds seem to be back after daily upgrades so maybe it was some other issues in the udev changes or something or resetting the pulseaudio, etc config made it work not sure08:20
mvohey ajmitch, nice to see you08:21
TheMusoseb128: ok no problem then, good to hear you're back up and running with sound.08:22
TheMuso...and on that note...08:22
* TheMuso is outa here.08:22
ajmitchhi mvo08:22
pittiTheMuso: sleep well08:23
pittiseb128: \o/08:23
seb128bye TheMuso08:24
* pitti tosses some ♩ ♪ ♫ to seb12808:24
seb128pitti, ;-)08:24
* ajmitch shouldn't get sucked into reading debian-devel 'discussions'08:24
seb128what are they discussing now?08:26
ajmitchia32-apt-get, or how not to do multiarch08:26
seb128I'm not reading debian-devel nowadays08:26
ajmitchprobably wise08:26
ajmitchI was bored today & wondered what they were talking about in #debian-devel08:27
pittiseb128: btw, didn't MacSlow send a g-p-m patch recently? I thought you wanted to sponsor it?08:37
seb128is synaptic crashing for other people too in karmic when using the menu item to start it?08:37
seb128pitti, not sure, I don't do gpm, I sponsored notify-osd and g-s-d08:37
pittiah, ok08:37
seb128I'm not subscribed to gpm bugs08:37
pittiwill get it out from my mail archive then08:37
pittiseb128: btw, does new gdm still start for you?08:38
seb128it shouldn't?08:38
pittiseb128: it fails with "not the default WM" for me08:38
pitti$ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager08:38
seb128gra08:38
pitti/usr/sbin/gdm08:38
pittibut the init script compares that to "/usr/sbin/gdm-binary"08:38
seb128yeah I changed that in my upload yesterday08:38
pittiI don't know how it was before this morning's upgrade, I'm afraid08:38
seb128I hate this thing08:38
pitti(it worked until yesterday)08:39
seb128because of the08:39
seb128SSD_ARG="--exec $DAEMON"08:39
seb128"restart" didn''t work otherwise08:39
robert_ancellhi seb12808:39
seb128hey robert_ancell08:39
seb128robert_ancell, had a good day today?08:40
seb128robert_ancell, when do you fly to desktop summit?08:40
robert_ancellseb128, administration day today.  I fly out tomorrow so I've bought a printer/scanner and did my paperwork I've been putting off. Wrote my GUADEC lightning talk too08:41
seb128what will you talk about?08:41
robert_ancell"practical part-time refactoring".  It's describes what I think is a good way to get into GNOME based on my experiences in gcalctool;08:43
mvoseb128: is synaptic crashing or gksu?08:44
didrocksgood morning everyone o/08:44
seb128mvo, dunno, it doesn't open08:44
mvoseb128: could you please run "gksu id" in a term?08:45
seb128gksu synaptic in a g-t works correctly08:45
robert_ancellHey pitti, can you look at bug 195737 and bug 221698 again?  They both have LP branches - should I add more information to upload requests than that?08:45

mvoseb128: how strange, anything in .xsession-errors ?08:45
seb128mvo, "sudo: sorry, a password is required to run sudo" in .xsession-errors08:45
pittirobert_ancell: ah, thanks for marking that other one as a dup; clear enough now08:46
seb128mvo, oh now it breaks in a g-t too08:47
seb128$ gksu synaptic08:47
pittirobert_ancell: fine for me now08:47
seb128sudo: sorry, a password is required to run sudo08:47
seb128$ gksu id08:47
seb128sudo: sorry, a password is required to run sudo08:47
ajmitchheh08:47
seb128mvo, ^ is gksu bog08:47
mvoseb128: I thought so :)08:47
robert_ancellpitti, should I merge the two changes in BZR into one release?08:47
mvoseb128: let me have a look08:47
pittirobert_ancell: how else did you do it?08:47
seb128mvo, I get the issue on my laptop since yesterday and on my desktop now08:48
robert_ancellpitti, there's two UNRELEASED entries in lp:~compiz/compiz/ubuntu08:48
pittirobert_ancell: right, please merge them into one08:48
mvoseb128: thanks, I can reproduce it now here08:50
robert_ancellpitti, done08:50
robert_ancellseb128, do you know if the DXE fusa work is going to be the upstream fusa solution? i.e. replacing the existing fusa releases?08:51
seb128robert_ancell, upstream has fusa in gdm now but dxteam wrote a new applet apparently rather than changing this one08:52
robert_ancellseb128, So the one in http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/fast-user-switch-applet/ is deprecated?08:53
ajmitchNIH, or because the other one would have needed too much work?08:53
seb128robert_ancell, yes08:53
mvoseb128: yeah, it looks like gksu has changed the way it calls sudo in a strange way08:53
* mvo wonders if its releated to the gtkbuilder patch from seb128 ;)08:54
* seb128 slaps mvo08:55
* mvo hides08:55
didrocksis there a kind archive admin to accept new libgirepository1 binary package, part of gobject-introspection? :)08:55
seb128didrocks, doing08:55

seb128want to do some of the work? ;-)08:58
ajmitchdidrocks: something like launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+queue ?08:58
seb128didrocks, no, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+queue has the list of binaries08:58
didrocksso, when libgirepository1 will be accepted, gir-repository will be able to build, and so clutter 0.9.4 will be built to \o/08:58
didrocksthen, mutter is for me :)08:58
robert_ancellseb128, I would say yes but I'm about to go travelling.  I can have a look if I've got some spare time in GUADEC08:58
didrocksseb128, ajmitch: ok, it's packages with NEW state, right? (so, New doesn't corresponds to "new uploads"08:59
pittididrocks: need some NEWing?08:59
seb128robert_ancell, I said rick I would have it in a ppa before GUADEC so thanks08:59

pitti.dput.cf, rather09:02
seb128pitti, yes, "dput ppa:user/ppa_name .changes"09:02

* ajmitch *still* hasn't upgraded his laptop from hardy :)09:04
seb128my laptop never suspended on lid close, is that a setting to configure?09:04

seb128not for me09:04
pittiand what's annoying is that it happens in gdm09:04

dpmpitti: we're having a translations meeting tomorrow, and I'd like to tell translators what's currently happening around translations. I've been following bug #123020 and I think this would be a good thing to comment. Can I explain them the following:11:12
ubottuLaunchpad bug 123020 in soyuz "support shipping verbatim files in the exported tarballs" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/12302011:12
dpm1) There's work in progress in getting the GNOME help files in language packs11:12
dpm2) This will _probably_ be done for Karmic11:12
dpm3) At this point this will only be a LiveCD space-saving feature, since the xml to PO (import) and PO to xml (langpack export) conversion will still have to be done manually.11:12
pittidpm: hi11:13
pittidpm: s/LiveCD/CD/ (applies to alternate, too), otherwise correct11:14
pittidpm: we will only copy the verbatim bits, no xml <-> po conversion for now11:14
pittithat requires proper rosetta support11:14
pittibrb, rebooting11:15
dpmpitti: hi :), thanks11:15
dpmpitti: ok, yes, that's what I meant with point 3), I should have probably formulated it better. I'll add the item to the agenda, then11:17
seb128doh, even pitti start using quilt now11:18
hyperairquilt > *11:22
mvo*grumpf* I I finally found the problem with gksu, how anoying11:22
seb128mvo, you rock!11:23
seb128mvo, tell me it's not the gtkbuilder changes ;-)11:23
pittiseb128: well, just so that Michael Biebl doesn't kill me after my first commits to pkg-utopia :)11:23
pittiseb128: but compared to the pain of git, quilt is just worth a shallow "oh"11:23
seb128btw speaking about git how do you add a file and make it been listed in git diff too?11:24
mvoseb128: the new forkpty() behaviour and sudo tty_tickets do not work togetether11:24
pittiI shouldn't have to use patches in the first place11:24
seb128git add newfile; git diff lists nothing11:24
pittibut with git-buildpackage at least there seems to be no way to cherrypick patches from trunk properly11:24
pittiseb128: ah11:24
pittiseb128: "git diff" does not what you think11:24
crevettegit diff HEAD^ ?11:24
pittiit shows the diff between the current index and the source11:24
pitticrevette: oh, so that's it?11:24
* crevette is always lost with git diff11:25
pittiI always use "git commit -v" and cancel11:25
crevettepitti, I admit I didn't look deeply in the doc, as the man page is quite complicated, (you must know a lot of details of git inner to understand it)11:26
hyperairgit diff and git diff --cached11:26
hyperairgit diff shows the difference between your working tree and the index, git diff --cached shows the difference between HEAD and the index11:26
seb128hyperair, can I have both in the same command?11:26
pitticrevette: hah, tell me about it11:26
hyperairseb128: git diff HEAD11:26
hyperairi think11:27
crevettegit is teh pain11:27
seb128git is really the suck to use11:27
seb128it's a shame that GNOME picked this one11:27
hyperairbetter than bzr =p11:27
pittiI still didn't learn (and don't want to) all those concepts of heads, index, origins, checkouts, intra-tree branches, and how the heck to get a branch ssh'ed over there (i. e. bzr push)11:27
seb128bzr add && bzr diff does what you expect though11:27
hyperairbecause bzr doesn't have a staging area11:27
pittithe fun thing is that even the folks who have used git for a long time don't know how to get git push working :)11:28
seb128I don't care about a staging area11:28
crevettepitti, I just had a basic usage as I wrote some patch for GNOME, but nothing fancu11:28
crevettefancy11:28
pittihyperair: bzr shelve11:28
seb128I want to checkout, do changes and see my changes11:28
hyperairpitti: isn't that the same as git stash?11:28
pittianyway, we had enough of them11:28
pitti(flamewars, I mean)11:28
pittihyperair: quite possibly11:28
hyperairyeah so it's not the staging area after all =\11:28
pittibut the index concept is so utterly confusing, and not really necessary either11:29
seb128seems git users are rather interested in how the tool can do tricky things than in getting work done easily11:29
hyperairi don't like that bzr has so goddamn many repository formats, all of which are incompatible with one another11:29
crevettegit stash is for on-going patch that break a rebase from I understood11:29
hyperairi've had a few repositories turn unmergeable because of that11:29
hyperairstupid bzr11:29
hyperaircrevette: no, git stash is to stash away your changes and return to a clean tree to do something else.11:29
crevettegit stash put your change is a temporary place, and you can re-apply with a git pop11:29
hyperairgit stash apply11:30
didrocksso as bzr shelve11:30
hyperairbzr doesn't have the staging area11:31
hyperaireither way, i don't really use it much. i commit with git ci -av11:31
seb128I'm not sure what a staging area is and why I would want one11:32
pittihyperair: no staging area> that's a feature :)11:32
seb128I usually checkout, commit commit commit, push somewhere for review11:32
hyperairyou can pretty much do that with git too11:32
hyperairi like how git repositories are pretty much standardized11:32
seb128what the vcs does is implementation details I don't want to care about11:32
pittihyperair: (honest question) do you know how to push a branch to my server, in a way that works?11:32
hyperairinstead of bzr godknows what knit rich root poor root whatever formats11:33
hyperairpitti: push a bzr branch or a git branch?11:33
pittihyperair: the best answer for that so far was "git prune; git gc; rsync -r .git myserver:public_html/git/stuff"11:33
seb128hyperair, git, bzr is easy, bzr push location ;-)11:33
pittihyperair: with git (with bzr, it's just "bzr push bzr+ssh://myserver/dir")11:33
pittihyperair: but with that prune/gc/rsync, I still can't push to that branch again11:33
hyperairpitti: i think you need to initialize a bare repository first, even in the case of bzr.11:33
pittihyperair: bare repo> no, tried that, doesn't work11:34
hyperairpitti: prune and gc are just to reduce what you need to transfer11:34
pittihyperair: (and that's not necessary with bzr; it just works)11:34
hyperairyeah, it just transfers evry damn thing11:34
pittianyway, I read docs and tried several recipes after 1.5 hours, then I just gave up and used the usual patch/git add/git commit pain11:34
pittiand mailed patches around11:35
LaneyPidgin 2.5.811:35
hyperairpitti: chances are you want to push more than once, so you just add the remote first: git remote add origin myserver:public_html/git/stuff.git, then you do git push --all origin11:35
Laney(libpurple 2.5.8)11:35
Laney\o/11:35
hyperairpitti: the pain is only when you don't know how to use it. the learning curve is steep as hell, but once you understand it, it's hard to look back.11:36
pittihyperair: right, that's what I meant; it's a tool which is written for people who want to learn it inside out, not for the casual developer who wants to work on source :(11:36
pittiinstead of git11:36
seb128I still not get why people fancy a tool hard to learn when you have much easier alternative doing all the common tasks you need as well, but shrug11:36
hyperairseb128: because the tool is awesome once you understand it.11:37
hyperairseb128: because once you do know how to use it, it is that much better than other, easier tools.11:37
crevetteand git is perhaps the tool for hardcore developers? not for casual hacker11:37
seb128I don't care about how the tool is awesome, I want to checkout, commit commit commit, push somewhere11:37
pittithe only real advantage that I see is speed11:37
hyperairsame question as why do people use vim instead of nano11:37
seb128and any modern vcs allows that11:37
pittibut for almost all projects that doesn't matter11:37
hyperairpitti: size.11:37
pittihyperair: I don't care11:38
pittigit is huge, sure, but even that I don't mind11:38
pitti(git trees, I mean)11:38
hyperairpitti: i recovered somewhere around 1G by shoving every thing into git from bzr.11:38
seb128hyperair, I don't see how it can be better than bzr for checkout, commit, push which is all I need11:38
hyperairpitti: granted, i had a bunch of tarballs lying around that got shoved into git as well11:38
pittimy projects are in the 50 to 500 KB range, I don't care at all about speed or size11:38
hyperairseb128: if that's all you need, and are sure you don't need any more, then no, it's no better than bzr.11:39
seb128hyperair, and all what 99% of people need with easy merging and some other things which are available in any vcs11:39
pittiobviously git is very good at handling kernel trees, and bzr sucks for that11:39
hyperairseb128: i found git merging much smoother than bzr's.11:39
pittibut 95% of the projects out there aren't kernel sized11:39
hyperairseb128: at the very least, i didn't have to worry about repository incompatibilities11:39
pittihm11:39
seb128hyperair, I usually bzr merge, review, commit11:39
pittilast time I merged, it utterly failed11:39
pittiI ended up having to format-patch there, and git patch/git add/git commit (times 10)11:39
seb128hyperair, you seem to focus on this format issue, I never got bitten by that though, no reason the format should change in a set up repository11:40
* pitti STFU now11:40
hyperairi got bitten MANY times.11:40
hyperairso many that i switched to git11:40
pittihyperair: let's agree to disagree11:40
hyperairindeed11:40
pittiyou won't ever convince me, and apparently I won't convince you :)11:40
seb128good the poppler guys merged my patch to use gtkbuilder11:40
seb128one less libglade depends for karmic ;-)11:41
pittihah, Richard ack'ed my devkit-power patch to fix the "immediately suspends" issue \o/11:41
hyperairpitti: a year or so ago, you would have. rather, i read the docs and was convinced to use bzr. then the format issue bit my ass so many times that i switched to git, and am happy to say i'm not going back.11:41
hyperairpitti: pristine-tar rocks, by the way.11:41
pittihyperair: pristine-tar> *nod* (that exists for both systems)11:42
hyperairpitti: yeah it does. but where does it store the .delta files for bzr?11:43
pittiI don't use it for my projects, but pkg-utopia does, and it's quite an interesting idea11:43
hyperairpitti: in git, it just dumps it into the tree under the "pristine-tar" branch.11:43
pittihyperair: I don't know (and I don't care :) )11:43
hyperairit's pretty awesome for package maintainenace i must say =p11:43
hyperairrather than 10s of tarballs, you just have a VCS and pristine-tar deltas11:44
pittiright11:44
* hyperair wonders where bdefreese has gone.11:47
hyperairnautilus-share needs a sponsor into debian =\11:47
Laneyask ajmitch!11:48
hyperairhe's a DD?11:48
seb128when will debian accept source uploads...11:48
Laneyyes11:48
hyperairdoesn't it?11:49
* Laney plays with the new bzr branches11:49
pittihyperair: no, you always have to upload a set of binaries alongside11:49
Laneywhat happens if you upload _source.changes?11:49
* hyperair patiently waits for git-bzr to enter the archives11:49
Laneywill dak reject it?11:49
hyperairhmm that doesn't sound nice =\11:50
seb128I would sponsor some uploads otherwise11:50
hyperairthe binaries get thrown away anyway, dont' they?11:50
Laneyno11:50
seb128but I don't have a current debian unstable install to build binaries11:50
hyperairseb128: pbuilder!11:50
seb128no the binaries you upload are the one available on the mirrors11:50
Laneypbuilder-dist sid create11:51
seb128which means that if you have experimental packages, etc you can screw builds easily11:51
seb128I know how to use pbuilder11:51
Laney:)11:51
seb128the issue is how much daily download you have to do11:51
hyperairi don't have much =\11:52
seb128ie I'm rsyncing daily karmic CD now and it will saturate my download for 2 hours still11:52
hyperairoh11:52
hyperairheh11:52
seb128then I dist-upgrade karmic and it's one extra hour11:52
seb128and it's lag so much that I can't triage bugs11:52
seb128I don't fancy putting my internet in lag mode for an another hour only to update a sid pbuilder11:52
* hyperair thinks living on campus with a server on LAN is awesome =p11:52
seb128I would be happy to test nautilus-share on karmic and do a source upload to debian though11:53
seb128but since that's not possible you will have to find another sponsor11:53
Laneyso yeah, does dak actually reject it?11:53
seb128source uploads are not accepted no11:53
hyperairwhat's the point of taking source updates anyway =\11:54
hyperairwhat if i build nautilus-share for you?11:54
seb128sources update means you have less to upload and you are sure that the build is made on a clean install11:55
seb128I could build on karmic and upload to debian and the binary would depends on gtk 2.17 which is not in debian11:55
hyperairmmhmm11:55
Laneywhat is the rationale? buildd time?11:55
seb128no they basically argue that it forces maintainer to test build before uploading11:56
seb128ie you can't upload something which obvious ftbfs11:56
seb128it's sort of a wrong technical solution to a social issue11:57
Laneynothing like a bit of trust eh11:57
hyperairheh yeah11:57
Laneyit does solve some edge problems though i.e. bootstrapping11:57
seb128any lunch time11:57
seb128bbl11:57
Laneyk11:57
seb128Laney, not really since you upload binaries for one arch only11:57
seb128it will still need to build on the buildds for other architectures11:57
hyperairarch=all stuff =p11:58
seb128right11:58
Laneyyeah11:58
Laneyanyway, pidgin diff is up11:58

seb128rodrigo_, the .install are required when you have several binaries to say what goes where13:39
rodrigo_ah, ok, so with no .install file it would just include everything it installed?13:40
seb128rodrigo_, you might override that in the rules and say to install to tmp and move things if you really want though13:40

pittidobey: do you use lintian? it's quite helpful15:26
dobeyit is not clear how to, and debuild doesn't seem to run it i guess15:26
pittiit does15:26
pittiyou just need to install it15:26
dobeyit is installed15:26
SiDikenvandine: mind if i pm you ?15:27
pittihm, it's run by default after debuild -S or debuild -b15:27
kenvandineSiDi, sure15:27
kenvandinedobey, i saw it when i built it :)15:27
dobeyhrmm, then it must be very sparse in jaunty or something, because i ran debuild -S -sa to build the source package15:27
dobeybecause i fixed the few things that were complained about in its output15:27
pittidobey: source package might be okay; the binary checks are (and can) only be run if you build binaries15:27
dobeywell i did a binary build as well to make sure i had the ${source:Version} bit correct because my memory was vague on it15:28
rickspencer3jcastro: thanks15:28
rickspencer3that would be really great15:28
rickspencer3I'll try to meet up with you in Madrid too15:28
dobeyand it didn't complain about anything extra that seemed to warrant fixing (Original-Maintainer and Python-Version or something was all it mentioned)15:28
rodrigo_seb128: another question :) to add a patch to a package, I just need to copy it to debian/patches, right?15:32
chrisccoulsonrodrigo_ - it depends what patch system the package uses15:37
rodrigo_chrisccoulson: hmm, how do I find out?15:37
rodrigo_it's got no patches right now, or do you mean something else?15:38
chrisccoulsonyou could take a look in debian/rules. if it's got no patches already, then you might need to add a patch system in debian/rules15:39
rodrigo_chrisccoulson: how do I do that? (could you point me to some docs?)15:42
* seb128 kicks his isp today15:43
rodrigo_oh, it already has: include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/simple-patchsys.mk15:43
rodrigo_is that ok?15:43
seb128rodrigo_, add a "include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/simple-patchsys.mk" in rules15:43
seb128rodrigo_, then you can copy a patch in the patches directory and get it used automagically15:43
rodrigo_ah ok15:43

djsiegelseb128: yes, I know17:29
seb128djsiegel, well it seems to me that the design team should have made recommendations earlier than that if you want people to tackle those issues17:30
seb128djsiegel, bugs are not being worked because there is no clear instructions on what need to be done on most of the bugs for this round17:30
djsiegelseb128: that's true, I know. I don't think the design team is clear on their role. The idea isn't that all design on every bug would be done by the design team.17:31
djsiegelseb128: before there was a canonical design team, weren't there people working on usability bugs?17:31
seb128djsiegel, well, "descriptions are not good enough" requires an english speaking to suggest better wording for example17:32
seb128djsiegel, not really, which is part of why those bugs have not been fixed yet ...17:32
seb128speaking -> speaker17:32
djsiegelseb128: I'm afraid 100 paper cuts will not be finished if people are waiting for one of the three or four of us on the design team looking at paper cuts to adjudicate on each one.17:34
seb128djsiegel, ok so they will not be finished, fair enough17:34
djsiegelseb128: we are putting the spotlight on these and helping user test the hard ones, but the operating assumption should not be that they are blocking until the design team weighs in.17:34
seb128djsiegel, I'm not an english speaker and I don't know what would be better wording for those labels that what we have now for example17:35
djsiegelMany of the bugs fixed so far have been fixed without design team suggestion17:35
djsiegelseb128: ok, don't propose a solution for that bug then17:35
djsiegelin fact, on bugs where someone from the design team has weighed in, it has slowed bug progress17:36
seb128djsiegel, those I listed before are blocked on somebody having a clue about design making a recommendation17:36
seb128well "Create Document" Templates difficult to use"17:36
djsiegelok, well, I am working on one right now17:36
seb128take that one for example17:36
djsiegeland I emailed the team to get moving17:36
seb128great, why is it difficult?17:36
seb128if it's open for 5 years that's a chance that the hackers don't find it difficult to use17:36
seb128and will not make change if you don't suggest an easier way17:37
djsiegelright, well, most of the time we agree with the proposed solution in the bug description/title17:37
djsiegelif we need to restate that and say "this is the suggestion," we can do that17:37
seb128same for bug #2329317:38

ubottuGnome bug 573413 in general "libmozjs linking broken on Ubuntu" [Normal,Unconfirmed] http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57341323:17

seb128gnagnagna, dan's patch doesn't do the trick23:18
asacseb128: for now use LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/xulrunner-`xulrunner -gre-version`:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH23:18
seb128asac, where do I put that?23:19
asacto get the package going23:19
asacseb128: you need some start script ;)23:19
seb128asac, it ftbfs right now, it's not runtime23:19
seb128the build call g-ir-scanner to build some gobject introspection code23:20
seb128and that's the think which breaks23:20
asaclet me check the patch23:20
asacseb128: how does the biuld fail?23:21
asacwithout looking context i would say: 1. drop the configure part of the patch. 2. replace +    mozjs_libdir = '@MOZJS_LIBDIR@'23:21

seb128I've the lib in '/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.1123:22
asacyes23:23
asacthats not the build problem23:23
asacbut the runtime problem you will end up23:23
seb128I'm wondering if I can add a -rpath somewhere23:23
asaci need to see the link linne of libgnome-shell.la23:23
asacseb128: i think setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH during build correctly might also help23:24
asacif its works its better than -rpath because its just for the build and doesnt influence runtime behaviour later on23:24
seb128asac, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/207770/23:25
asacseb128: and the content of libgnome-shell.la?23:26
seb128asac, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/207772/23:26
