chrisccoulsonpitti - want me to do the g-p-m update?09:07
pittichrisccoulson: oh, there's a new upstream version? please go ahead09:07
chrisccoulsonyup, 2.27.2. i'll take a look at that one then:)09:07
chrisccoulsonpitti - i just saw your comment on the vala mir09:33
chrisccoulsoni think the new tracker is probably still quite a way off09:33
pittichrisccoulson: sure, no hurry with vala09:38
pittijust pointing out that we won't proactively promote09:38
chrisccoulsonyeah, no problem09:38
james_wpitti: do you and Michael have a plan for polkit 1?09:48
pittijames_w: I guess "update as many packages as possible until karmic final"09:49
james_walso, thanks for the gdm fixes :-)09:49
pittiheh, no problem09:49
pittinext devkit-power should use polkit-1 and gudev09:49
james_wso we would like to try and migrate this cycle?09:49
pittiyes, I think so09:49
pittiFedora already did a lot09:49
james_wdo we have polkit-1 already in the archives?09:49
james_wI couldn't see it yesterday09:50
pittiyes, and in main09:51
james_wah, policykit-109:51
pittipolicykit-1 | 0.92-0ubuntu1 |        karmic | source, amd64, i38609:51
james_wthanks09:51
pittiand policykit-1-gnome09:51
james_wthat's a bug clue that we would like to migrate, shouldn't have missed that :-)09:51
pittiso far the only consumer is devkit-disks, AFAIK09:52
james_wI'll try and work on some of our packages then09:52
pittibut dk-power is migrated in git09:52
pittiI need to fix jockey09:52
pittignome-disk-utility is migrated as well09:52
pittihal is tricky09:52
pittibut I hope we can drop hal soon, so that should be moot09:52

tgpraveenpitti: will ubuntu ship with palimpest disk utility on live cd in karmic? it would10:04
tgpraveenbe very useful for many people10:04
pittitgpraveen: I'm not sure, TBH10:05
pittiit's quite an advanced tool, but I agree that it's quite handy10:05
pittiespecially as a diagnosis/repair tool on the live CD10:06
TheMusojames_w, pitti: Once we have pulse 0.9.16, there will be one less app using the older policykit.10:08

asaccrevette: do we need something for gnomebt 2.27.7 ?12:20
crevettethere was a 2.27.7.112:22
crevette release even12:22
crevetteappart of obexd no I don't think, but I didn't follow closely changes recently, my job is sucking my time :/12:22
asacok12:30
asacso we need obexd?12:30
asacdo you know if obexd and obex-data-server need to conflict?12:30
asaccrevette: ?12:30
pochuasac: i think so12:32
pochuand it's needed for 2.27.7, yes12:32
pochuasac: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=52806112:32
ubottuDebian bug 528061 in wnpp "ITP: obexd -- OBEX client and server" [Wishlist,Open]12:32
asacpochu: do you know why both exist nowadays?12:36
crevetteasac, there're not conflicting necesarly, if obexd can be splitted in 2 packages obexd-server and -client12:41
crevettewe doscussed than with filippo12:41
crevettediscussed that12:41
pochuasac: I dunno12:41
crevettecurrently g-bluetooth only requires the client part of obexd12:42

tgpraveenasac: are we going to have network-manager 0.8 in karmic? somebody told me so12:52
asactgpraveen: TBD12:53
rickspencer3kenvandine: hey12:53
asactgpraveen: have to check with upstream. i dont want to just throw it in if we cannot make dan feel comfortable with it12:54
tgpraveenk12:54
asactgpraveen: after all its his reputation/brand we taint by shipping a crappy NM to the masses ... also he gets lots of support requests from ubuntu users12:54
tgpraveenasac: agreed. so i take it that nm 0.8 will be released in karmic time frame? nm does not have a fixed release schedule right12:55
asactgpraveen: not necessarily. if we ship 0.8 snapshot, we want to get it in asap so we have time to stabilize it etc.12:56
asacmeaning, if it doesnt land soon, we will more likely stick to 0.7.112:56
asacthe packages are ready for early testing if you want12:56

asactgpraveen: this whole idea of putting 0.8 into karmic came up just recently. i wanted to provide trunk/daily packages, thats why i created the PPA13:00
asactgpraveen: the ppa is not properly announced so would be one of the first using it ;)13:00
asacbut for me it works well ;)13:00
tgpraveenk.thx will check it out13:01
crevetteasac, I'm not ubuntu dev, but for LTS I would stay with 0.7.x :)13:36
asaccrevette: lts will be karmic+113:36
crevetteyep, but will 0.8 be ready for LTS?13:36
crevetteI mean ready and stable13:36
asaci would say it has to be ready, ye.13:38
crevetteif RH target to ship 0.8 for RHEL 6, it could be good for you13:38

asactjaalton: bryce 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc R580 [Radeon X1900]16:45
bryceasac, not sure, but we're going to be pulling some more bleeding edge stuff from upstream over the next two months.  If you file a bug I'll upstream it to alex.17:53
pittihey bryce17:54
pittibryce: would you mind having a look at bug 377090 again? it says that the other tasks still need to be fixed17:54
ubottuLaunchpad bug 377090 in linux "[i945gm] (Needs kernel 2.6.31) DRI2 swapbuffers" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/37709017:54
pittiI don't quite understand what's going on there, I'm afraid17:55
bryceheya pitti18:02
brycepitti, I'd really prefer to hold off until those branches get merged into main.  For hopefully understandable reasons, it seems risky to switch all intel users over to a branch of code that upstream has not yet merged into main.18:14
pittibryce: right, totally understandable; so it means those tasks should be reopened?18:14
bryceprobably doesn't matter; if the feature makes it into a release in time for us to include in karmic, it will be there.  If it requires us to port branches over, then it is probably too risky, esp since this is a cosmetic problem (video flickering)18:16
brycepitti, you could leave them open as wishlist tasks if you'd like I guess18:17
pittiright18:17
pittigood night everyone18:37

chrisccoulsonLaney - i'm having that issue when doing autotools updates too20:54
Laneysolved it?20:54
chrisccoulsoni think when you run autoreconf, it runs "aclocal" without "-I m4"20:55
chrisccoulsoni don't know if there is a way to fix that20:56
chrisccoulsonLaney - it seems that when you run autoreconf, some m4_include's get dropped off aclocal.m4, and that seems to mess it up20:57
chrisccoulson(i think)20:57
chrisccoulsoni don't understand it that well;)20:57
