TheMusoHey rickspencer3.00:04
rickspencer3hi TheMuso :)00:04
rickspencer3so we had a real quick meeting this morning00:04
TheMusoSorry, just reading eail.00:04
TheMusoemail00:04
* awe waves00:04
rickspencer3either of you have anything to add to the agenda?00:04
TheMusoNope.00:05
* rickspencer3 waves00:05
rickspencer3robert_ancell: ?00:05
robert_ancellnope00:05
rickspencer3schweet00:05
rickspencer3okay ... so I didn't get a chance to update the meeting page, I'll just touch on the points real quick00:05
rickspencer3we're going to work on bluetooth at the sprint next week00:06
rickspencer3so if you have BT devices to bring, please bring them00:06
TheMusoWill do.00:06
TheMusoI also have a USB sound card I will be bringing.00:06
rickspencer3apparently the state of bluetooth in KDE is not too good00:06
rickspencer3I think the word that Riddell used to describe upstream on the applet was "dead"00:07
rickspencer3:(00:07
TheMusoheh00:07
robert_ancellow00:07
rickspencer3in terms of the greeter, I didn't make any progress, but it's on the agenda for a meeting I have tomorrow00:07
rickspencer3I'll add the Kubuntu status to the wiki after this meeting00:08
rickspencer3you can read about the partner update there as well00:08
rickspencer3we only have a few release targeted bugs so far, which is good00:09
rickspencer3we are a bit over the trend line on feature work00:09
rickspencer3so I would like to combine getting stuff done with postponing stuff to try to get back under the trendline while at the sprint next week00:09
rickspencer3and finally, please add goals to the sprint page00:10
rickspencer3oh wait ...00:10
rickspencer3let me know if you need anything from the design team this week so they can prepare it for the sprint00:10
rickspencer3and with pitti gone, a few things got hung up in getting approved, and MIRs and what not00:11
rickspencer3that was pretty much it00:11
rickspencer3any questions, etc..?00:11
TheMusono00:11

rickspencer3TheMuso: robert_ancell: one more thing ...00:20
rickspencer3seb128 asks us all to do extra sponsoring, as daniel is on vacation00:21
robert_ancellI can't sponsor yet00:21
TheMusoI've been trying to do an hour or there abouts this week, and hoep to try and keep that u.00:22
TheMusoan hour a day even00:22
chrisccoulsonTheMuso - i just pushed a change to the gnome-media branch to recommend pulseaudio (the new volume control isn't much use without it)00:28
TheMusochrisccoulson: Right, probably not worth an upload on its own.00:29
TheMusoUnless there are other things waiting as well.00:29
chrisccoulsonyeah, seb128 said that too. i just thought i'd let you know seeing as you're most active on gnome-media now ;)00:30
TheMusook thanks00:30
=== onestone__ is now known as onestone
* TheMuso decides to subscribe to the gnome-media branch.00:31
chrisccoulsonthats a good idea:)00:32
cjwhat's the best laptop for ubuntu hardware support these days?01:06
cjooh, #ubuntu-laptop01:06
TheMusocj: You likely won't go wrong with a Dell that supports Ubuntu, or thinkpad. By Dell supporting Ubuntu, I mean a Dell machine that is sold with Ubuntu pre-installed.01:07
huatschrisccoulson: hey01:07
huatsI just saw your email on glom01:07
huatsI have started to do it01:07
huatsbut I haven't done much01:07
huatsso you can work on it01:07
chrisccoulsonthanks. it needs quite a few library updates to build01:07
chrisccoulsonit needs new goocanvas, goocanvasmm and gdamm, which I've done01:08
chrisccoulsonbut libgdamm sits in NEW right now01:08
chrisccoulsonand it also needs pygda enabling in python-gnome-extras too01:08
chrisccoulsoni underestimated the amount of work it would take ;)01:08
huats:)01:09
huatsI need to run01:09
huatsif you need some help say it :)01:10

kklimondacould anyone with updated karmic builder try to rebuild transmission 1.73-1ubuntu1 ?01:36
kklimondaI'm getting weird error with sed..01:36
chrisccoulsonyou're getting the error in karmic are you?01:40
chrisccoulsoni cant try right now, i already have 2 pbuilders running01:41
kklimondachrisccoulson, in karmic pbuilder01:41
TheMusokklimonda: The latest package from the archive? Sure, I'll give it a run. My mirror is a little old though,. compared to whats in archive.ubuntu.com atm01:42
TheMusoBuilds fine here, but I'd need to be sure I had the latest updates.01:46
TheMusoto be 100% sure that nothing is wrong.01:46
TheMusoAnd it built fine everywhere on the buildds./01:48
cjthanks, TheMuso01:54
kklimondais lsb_release available in pbuilders by default?02:13
kklimondafrom transmission build log i see that updateminiupnpcstrings.sh has detected OS_VERSION as "9.10" while in my pbuider it's "squeeze/sid" and it (slash to be exact) breaks build..02:14
TheMusohrm not sure if its meant to be in there or not.02:15
kklimondahmm.. it is..02:15
TheMusoIf the package needs it, it should depend on it.02:15
kklimondait isn't really needed by package02:16
TheMusook02:17
kklimondabut pulling in lsb-release has hidden two other bugs..02:17
kklimondaI think i'll add lsb-release to build-depends as it's pulled in by buildd anyway, at least I'll be able to build package.02:21
kklimondayup, builds fine with lsb-release..02:30
charles_kklimonda: the miniupnpstrings thing has been reported upstream to the miniupnpc people, and can be patched in the meantime with this diff: http://trac.transmissionbt.com/attachment/ticket/2296/updateminiupnpcstrings.sh.patch04:10
TheMusokklimonda: per what charles_ just said, I'll hold off from doing your merge, in the event you want to use that patch.04:15
TheMusorobert_ancell: For the vinagre update, you mentioned the telepathy-glib and libxml2 build-deps under debian/watch. Minor detail that I am happy to change for you, unless you would like to do it yourself. :)04:19
TheMusothis is in the changelog04:19
robert_ancellTheMuso, whoops! please fix :)04:19
TheMusook will do.04:19
TheMusorobert_ancell: also fixed the version, should be ubuntu1, not ubuntu204:23
robert_ancellTheMuso, yes, I miss that one sometimes..04:24
TheMusoheh, its easy to do.04:24
TheMusorobert_ancell: Trying patch debian/patches/01_lpi.patch at level 1 ... 0 ... 2 ... failure.04:25
TheMusoFTBFs for me.04:25
robert_ancellTheMuso, OK, that is not right...04:25
* robert_ancell checks04:25
TheMusoah sorry I know why04:25
TheMusodon't mind me. :)04:25
TheMusorobert_ancell: forgot to use the new orig tarball. :p04:26
robert_ancellah, good :)04:26
TheMusorobert_ancell: Hrm. I think vinagre needs to be broken out into separate packages, now that it supports plugins, and ships header files. Generally we have a separate -dev package for dev related files eg header files in /usr/include.04:34
* TheMuso looks closer to see how this might be done, from a package naming perspective.04:34
robert_ancellTheMuso, yes I was wondering about that.  However as there is only one package currently it didn't seem like a priority04:35
TheMusoWell generally we don't ship header files and static libs on the desktop CD. And, they do take up space.04:36
robert_ancellTheMuso, ok, I can split into two packages vinagre, vinagre-dev - I'm not sure if there is a need to separate the vinagre and vinagre-plugins (they are useless without eachother)04:38
TheMusoNo I don't think so either.04:39
TheMusoBut hang on a sec, there may be more needed to be done here, since the pkgconfig file refers toa vinagre-1.0 library. Thats probably not being included int he package, so let me build by hand to see if such a lib is created.04:39
TheMusoHrm ok, I thought it would have built a new shared library, but it doesn't.04:58
TheMusoSo yeah, I think vinagre and vinagre-dev would be ok.04:58
robert_ancellTheMuso, yeah, it doesn't build that...04:59
TheMusoIt creates a static lib which it uses internally only it seems.04:59
TheMusorobert_ancell: Ok I see your changes. Good to see you fixed those changes that I didn't get to pushing just yet. :)05:00
kklimondaanyone knows where to get debian build logs for their packages?05:01
TheMusoNo sorry.05:01
robert_ancellTheMuso, I think the .pc Libs is just copied from the example one.  The VNC plugin doesn't require it.  I'll raise this upstream05:01
kklimondaalso, could anyone who knows sed better then me take a look at http://pastebin.com/f35e367be05:02
TheMusorobert_ancell: ok05:02
kklimondaahahaha05:03
* kklimonda cries05:03
kklimondait looks like maintainer has made a mistake in this sed script, it also fails on their buildd.. but it doesn't stop build..05:04
kklimondagood to know I'm not that crazy..05:04
TheMusorobert_ancell: Also, it might be a good idea to remove the static libs from the vinagre package, and at the least, put them in viagre-dev, i.e the .la and .a files.05:06
kklimondacharles_, are you there yet?05:09
robert_ancellTheMuso, vinagre is good to go now06:00
TheMusorobert_ancell: Ok will do it once I've dealt with vino.06:01
kklimondaTheMuso, I've fixed sed expression so it works now, but I think that better option is to add lsb-release explicitly to Build-Deps (as it was pulled in on buildd anyway). Also this way we get a real system version - "Ubuntu 9.10" instead of "Debian squeeze/sid". Even if it's used only as a User Agent miniupnp's author has clearly given an option to distinguish between debian and ubuntu.06:05
TheMusorobert_ancell: you don't think the static libs should be in the -dev package?06:05
TheMusokklimonda: Ok, I'll look at your merge in a bit.06:06
robert_ancellTheMuso, I don't know, what is done for plugin systems? Are they even useful as the plugins don't even link to them06:06
robert_ancell?06:07
TheMusorobert_ancell: Yeah thats true. However, you don't need to delete them, you just need to edit the install files to only include the files needed. They do support wildcards characgers.06:07
TheMusoso for example debian/tmp/usr/lib/vinagre-1/plugins/*.so06:07
TheMusoworks fine06:08
TheMusoso you don't need the stuff in debian/rules06:08
robert_ancellTheMuso, I did that first, but afaik you can't blacklist files.  I had that line but then if some other files need adding then you need to continually update the .install file.  Is there a convention for doing this?06:08
robert_ancellArguably vinagre should not be producing those files but I couldn't work out the automake stuff that was doing it06:08
TheMusoWell, another way would be to disable static building, but I am not sure if that would break anything.06:09
TheMusoDepends on how the autofoo is set up.06:10
TheMusobrb06:13
TheMusoback06:23
TheMusorobert_ancell: I really think the easiest way is to adjust the install files and use wildcard characters. The install file will have to be touched in the future if dir names change anyway, and one should really check what new or changed files a package introduces in a new release anyway, especially if the package has to be broken out into two or more.06:31
robert_ancellTheMuso, OK, I will change that.  I really wish the .install format was more powerful06:32
TheMusothe dh_install manpage may tgell you more that I have neglected to mention.06:32
TheMusotell even06:32
robert_ancellLast I checked it wasn't that useful06:34
TheMusoah ok06:35
robert_ancellTheMuso, pushed06:46
TheMusook thanks06:49
TheMusorobert_ancell: The schema gets installed in usr/share/gconf/schemas not in etc. I'll remove the reference to etc from the install file.06:57
robert_ancellTheMuso, that's needed06:57
robert_ancellmake install puts in etc/ then dh moves it06:57
TheMusohrm ok06:58
TheMusorobert_ancell: vinagre uploaded.07:05

crevettehello seb128 & everyne08:18
crevetteyeah first typo08:18
didrockshey seb128 and crevette :)08:19
crevettehi didrocks08:19
seb128lut crevette didrocks08:19
crevetteasac, around?08:21
crevettehow can I generate a .symbols file? I didn't figure out how and when using dpkg-gensymbols, each time I used the output was empty.08:23
pittihey seb128, bonjour08:26
seb128pitti, guten tag!08:26
seb128had a nice weekend break? ;-)08:27
pittiseb128: I did indeed! http://martinpitt.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/back-from-mini-vacation-and-climbing/08:27
seb128crevette, did you try running it after the build? it needs to lib to be built to list something08:27
crevetteseb128, so the packaging should be done in two steps? I package, and I do the gensymbols, and I add the file, and I do the packaging againg (packaging being debuild for me)08:28
seb128crevette, I think so, I never added .symbols to a package though so I'm not sure08:31
crevetteokay, sounds the right way, as you said the package should be built08:31
crevetteseb128, I have another question about soname, I would like to know when bumping soname version. I guess I have to check in configure.ac but I would like to confirm.08:32
seb128upstream question or packaging one?08:32
seb128see configure.in comments how to handle the libtool numbering08:33
seb128ie the age, revision, etc08:33
crevetteupstream I guess?08:33
crevettehttp://git.gnome.org/cgit/gnome-bluetooth/tree/configure.ac#n2308:33
crevettethe packaging can bump the soname without being bumped in uptream?08:33
crevettedoes GNOMEBT_LT_VERSION=7:2:0 means the soname version is 7?08:34
seb128read the libtool documentation or the libgnome configure.in comments08:35
seb128the soname is a combinaison of 2 of the numbers08:35
seb128you bump 2 numbers when there is compatible changes and set one back to 0 when those break abi08:35
crevetteokay merci, I'll check libgnome08:37
pittiseb128: hm, still no gnome-power-manager release08:45
crevettepitti, perhaps the release team can help you?08:45
seb128pitti, no...08:45
seb128pitti, btw somebody was asking on the channel yesterday what should be the default behaviour on lid close on battery08:46
slomois someone here who knows a bit about the apt packagekit backend and packagekit in general?08:46
pittiseb128: I saw the scrollback, but didn't answer since nobody was online08:46
pittiseb128: the default for both is now to suspend08:46
pittiI guess he had a custom gconf setting for batter to not suspend08:46
seb128slomo, mvo and glatzor08:46
mvohey seb12808:47
* pitti hugs mvo08:47
mvohey pitti!08:47
seb128pitti, right, there is a .gconf-defaults which default on blank08:47
pittihey slomo! wie gehts?08:47
seb128mvo, alter!08:47
slomoseb128: thanks08:47
seb128mvo, are we stalled on language-selector to gtkbuilder? ;-)08:47
mvoseb128: looks like it ;) I upload it now08:48
slomohi pitti :) everything's great here, i'm very productive atm and real life is fine too ;) how are you?08:48
seb128mvo, cool thanks08:48
pittislomo: pretty relaxed still, had a nice 5-day weekend; diving into ubuntu stuff again now :)08:48
slomomvo: do you know how/if the gstreamer codec installation stuff works with packagekit and the apt backend? i know that people are trying to implement it for RPM currently08:49
TheMusocrevette: You asked me something yesterday, but I can't for the life of me find your notify, and hense can't remember what it is. Mind asking me again? :)08:50
mvoseb128: I idly wonder why there is a data/test.ui in the bzr tree that contains a "hello world"08:50
mvoslomo: it should work, PK is fine as long as nothing like conffile or debconf or anything like this is used08:50
crevetteTheMuso, hi, it was just about the version of pulseaudio shipped for karmic, but seb128 answered inthe meantime :)08:50
seb128mvo, I just converted the .glade, good question, feel free to clean it ;-)08:51
crevettes/shipped/which will be shipped/08:51
TheMusocrevette: Oh ok. What was the response?08:51
mvoslomo: but its not not deal with any of this08:51
seb128TheMuso, he asked if we would get .16 for karmic and I said I think we would08:51
crevetteseb128 told me 0.9.16 (I was asking about gnome-bluetooth for audio on bleutooth device)08:51
mvoseb128: heh :) I will leave that to arne08:51
seb128TheMuso, but confirmation would be welcome08:51
TheMusoYes, I am aiming for .16, but have to get a new dependency into main, as well as some kernel level stuff for things to really work well, which is under way.08:52
slomomvo: how does packagekit find the package with the required codec? does it call gnome-codec-install or something?08:53
mvoslomo: I think it looks at the pkgrecord headers08:53
slomomvo: which are the content of Packages.gz? or a different format of Packages.gz which is handled by packagekit directly (instead of the backend)? in the first case, does it use gst-python magic to match the records?08:55
mvoslomo: it will use the stock packages.gz, I need to look at the code to know if it does use gst-python or not08:56
slomomvo: ok, well, if it works it probably uses it and i'm happy ;) i was only feared that there is a suboptimal solution after seeing what the RPM guys are doing for the codec installation08:58
mvoslomo: even if it would not use gst-python now, we could easily add it09:02

seb128pitti, thank you09:22
seb128pitti, I'm not sure where you see a translation breakage in the update09:23
dpmmvo: hi, good morning! I've been asked about bug 378075. Would it be possible to upload the new Polish DDTP translation to fix it? Is there any way I can help on this, does it have to follow the SRU process?09:23
ubottuLaunchpad bug 378075 in ddtp-ubuntu "Typos in package summaries" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/37807509:23
pittiseb128: it changes documentation without updating the translations09:24
seb128pitti, well which mean the english and translated version will have a slightly different content09:25
pittiseb128: well, the translations are built using gettext at build time, aren't they?09:25
seb128pitti, that doesn't break the string match in the gettext sense since documentation is translated xml and the string don't get fuzzy or anything09:25
seb128hum, I need to check that but I think it doesn't fuzzy translations usually you can just get the content out of sync09:26
pittiseb128: if that's not the case, then I'm not so worried about them09:26
pittiseb128: they keep translated xml files in the upstream orig.tar.gz?09:27
pitti(duh)09:27
seb128pitti, yes they have translated xmls in the tarball09:28
mvodpm: hello, what version of the distro is affected?09:30
pittiseb128: that's sick.. but at least it doesn't break SRU rules then09:30
seb128pitti, you would prefer having all documentations fuzzied every time the english version change?09:31
pittiseb128: yes, for unstable versions09:32
pittisimilar to gettext itself09:32
seb128the thing is that string changes in the ui are easy to notice and to be out of context09:32
pittiwell, at least there should be an obvious way for translators to see where work is needed09:32
seb128translated documentation is tricker to handle09:32
dpmmvo: according to the bug it is Jaunty, but I cannot find a jaunty distro series at https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/ubuntu09:32
seb128usually fixing a typo doesn't deprecate your translated versions09:32
seb128and there is not enough translators to play catch up on documentation09:33
seb128so better to have a slightly outdated version translated that no translation09:33
pittiI see09:33
seb128I need to check how the updates work exactly again though09:34
seb128but documentation in GNOME sucks that's why they can to change it for GNOME309:34
dpmmvo: sorry, on my last message I meant https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu09:34
seb128the way it currently works doesn't fit with community work09:34
seb128it's too much efforts for translators, etc09:34
seb128anyway that's a bit orthogonal to the issue there09:35
mvodpm: ok, how isolated is the problem? is it small enough to just have a diff against Translation-pl ? I can prepare a SRU then09:36
dpmmvo: as far as I can understand this is isolated to the Polish translation and to the 2 strings pointed out in the bug, so I believe that a diff against Translation-pl should suffice. Note though, that the link to the second translation in the bug now points to an unstranslated string instead of a corrected one (maybe a new POT was uploaded and the string order is now different?)09:42
asaccrevette: yeah09:43
crevetteasac, too late :)09:44
mvodpm: thanks, I asked for a diff in the bugreport, I hope I get one :)09:44
crevetteasac, hello :)09:44
asaccrevette: ok so you figured? great.09:44
seb128pitti, ok, I checked the update to be sure and it seems I was wrong, they have update xml translated files with extra english strings in the tarball09:44
dpmmvo: thanks a lot for looking at this. Just another question: how do SRU work for DDTP translations? Is there a place where they can be first uploaded (sort of like -proposed) so that users can test the fixes?09:46
mvodpm: yes, -proposed is the place, apt should use the updated one then09:47
mvodpm: I'm not sure about this particular problem now, it seems that it crashes the apt-xapian-index, so maybe that needs a additional fix. depends on if it accesses the transltions through (python-)apt or directly09:48

showardHey pitti, everyone - I'm kind of new to -desktop, but I've been doing some heavy gnome-power-manager bug clean up and triaging over the past couple of months. I saw that bug about the default settings for lid close on battery, but I think the reporter does describe the default action. From the GPM bzr branch: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gnome-power-manager-team/gnome-power/trunk/annotate/head%3A/debian/gconf-defaults it has: /apps/gno17:06
pittiseb128: it's a bit fiddly; you can change the "Package" and/or "SourcePackage" field and call report.add_hooks_info()17:07
pittiseb128: I can make that more convenient by adding an optional package name argument to add_hooks_info(), if you need17:07

mac_vseb128: ah... will try agin17:09

showardpitti: great! I know richard would be happy17:09
seb128pitti, using .gconf-defaults is the appropriate way to change defaults17:09
pittiseb128: hm, I recently added a patch to data/gnome-power-manager.schemas.in, I shouldn't do that?17:10
pittiseb128: it's much harder that way to keep up with upstream changes, though?17:10
seb128pitti, do, .gconf-defaults is the way to change defaults17:10
pittiseb128: ok, I'll convert that patch then17:11
pittiseb128: out of interest, what's the reason for that?17:11
seb128pitti, we do that because it's easy to use stock upstream behaviour by just moving the .gconf-defaults away for example this way17:11
seb128pitti, where patching the schemas makes that impossible17:11
pittiseb128: where does that land? I don't quite see it in /etc/gconf/17:12
seb128pitti, ie we use a different layer and a different directories for those changes so you drop distro changes just by changing the gconf path17:12
pittioh, /usr/share/gconf/defaults/10_gnome-power-manager17:12
pittiseb128: ok, understood; thanks for the heads-up!17:12
seb128pitti, ls /usr/share/gconf/defaults17:13
seb128pitti, you're welcome17:13
seb128pitti, those are written to /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults17:13
seb128pitti, when running update-gconf-defaults17:13
seb128pitti, so using stock upstream is basically comment this dir from the gconf path list17:14

showardthanks seb and pitti, what is everyone's opinion on the default for "lid close on battery" - should we suspend (like GPM) or blank screen? seb128's argument was that he doesn't want to lose network connections when switching rooms, the reporter thought that that behavior was counter intuitive17:17
seb128good default is to suspend, it's not destructive17:18
seb128ie avoid people putting laptop in their bag thinking it will suspend and having issues later17:18
seb128I was just expressing a personal opinion for not liking to cut my internet on lid close ;-)17:18
