mac_vanyone know why ttf-bitstream-vera gives this error> Package ttf-bitstream-vera has no available version, but exists in the database.   This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list10:17
james_wmac_v: it's been removed10:17
james_win favour of ttf-dejavu10:17

james_wyeah, I'm not too sure why it was done like this10:19
mac_vjames_w: are you aware who would know , why this was done? i dont want to change all the settings and again have to rest them , if this was a transient error10:20
james_wit wasn't transient10:23
james_wit was done in Debian following upstream's lead10:23
mac_vsheesh!  :(10:23
tullariscHi10:27
tullariscI wondered if someone could help to make a package out of supertux, supratux or tuxjunior ... I would like to maintain it but I have no idea about the ubuntu package inclusion procedure .10:28

Mark__Ttedg: ping14:24
jcastrodidrocks: so I was figuring out james_w's bzr dailydeb thing and I can do quickly dailies if you want to make a new ppa14:27
kenvandinehey Mark__T14:39
tedgMark__T: Pong!14:39
Mark__TI just did bzr pull and found that all the indicator-applet libs disapeared14:41
Mark__Tfound that you moved them to libindicate just a few minutes ago14:41
Mark__TI was surprised and wanted to ask you where they are before that14:42
rickspencer3bryce: sweet blog post on bug upstreaming14:44
tedgMark__T: We split up the package into three source packages just to make it easier to assign bugs/build/etc.14:48
tedgMark__T: Actually, the Xubuntu folks were some of the folks asking for it.14:48
Mark__Tis xubuntu going to use it?14:49
tedgMark__T: I think so, I believe they packaged up your messaging menu...14:51
tedgI haven't heard much recently.  But, last I checked it was.14:52
Mark__Twhat is their standard mail app?14:52
tedgMark__T: I'm not sure.15:00
tedgMark__T: I think they were more interested for IM and using the notifications.  But I'm not sure.15:01
Mark__TOkay, I still didn't have time to look into claws to make it indicator aware. I'm hoping, if xubuntu uses claws and indicator, someone pops up doing that :-P15:01
tedgMark__T: That would be cool.15:02
Mark__Tcan't be hard too hard to hack claws notify plugin15:03
Mark__Ttedg: how do I build libindicator.so?15:44
Mark__TOh, that's number 3 of the split :-)15:46

kenvandineasac, anything i need to do for a package that has split from one source package into 2?17:18
kenvandinelibindicate is now a separate source package, i assume we don't treat it as a new package?17:18
kenvandineand should i remove all the old indicator-applet entries from the changelog?17:19
asackenvandine: you can fork two packages out of a single tree (keeping changelog in both) ... or keep on using the source package for one part ... or do completely new source pakages17:20
asacif thats what you ask17:20
kenvandinesort of17:20
asacbesides from that it has to go through new17:20
kenvandineupstream (dx team) has split the source into two trees17:20
kenvandinewell 3 actually17:20
asacand take care that you use the same binaries ... if not you need to transition them properly17:20
asacof course you need higher version to take over the binaries17:20
kenvandineyeah17:21
asaconce all done, remember to file a removal bug and assign ubuntu-archive17:21
kenvandineit creates mostly the same binaries17:21
kenvandinesome new ones17:21
asacerr subscribe ;)17:21
kenvandineok17:21
asackenvandine: binaries == packages in this context17:21
asackenvandine: also remember that if you move binaries (real binaries) from one to other packages you need Replaces:/Conflicts: on them17:21
kenvandineok, the real change is the source is new17:21
kenvandineyeah17:22
kenvandinethere is a Replace17:22
asackenvandine: so how was the released tarball name(s) upstream before and now?17:22
kenvandineit used to come from indicator-applet tarball17:22
kenvandinenow it is a separate tarball17:22
kenvandineso now it is libindidate_version.tar.gz17:23
mac_vkenvandine: hi... after your discussion with asac , i have a question to ask , :) I'll wait17:23
=== rickspencer3-afk is now known as rickspencer3
kenvandineasac, so am i on the right track?17:23
asackenvandine: and indicator-applet tarball still exists?17:23
kenvandineyes17:23
kenvandineit just doesn't build libindicate anymore17:23
asacyeah. then drop binary packages from indicator applet, put them in new source libindicate and either start a new package or keep the full changelog17:24
asaci would keep it if i reuse the other packages parts17:24
kenvandineasac, ok... that was what i was planning to do17:24
kenvandinegood17:24
kenvandinemac_v, what's up?17:24
mac_vkenvandine: i'm trying to figure out a way to make the boot splash progress bar consistent [as in, not stop at one point and zoom again] have you guys any info about it , or why did you guys drop the progress bar? is it not possible at all?17:25
kenvandineno idea17:26
kenvandinebratsche, ^^17:26
bratscheI'm not sure what you mean.17:27
mac_vbratsche: i was talking to mat_t he said the reason for dropping the progress bar was because it was not consistent17:27
bratscheRight.. it wasn't very accurate.17:28
mac_vit doesnt progress at a steady speed, it stops in between then again zooms17:28
kenvandinemac_v, well it isn't possible to make the progress bar accurate17:28
kenvandinemac_v, so... it is kind of useless17:28
kenvandineand when you boot in under 10 seconds, why does it matter?17:29
mac_vkenvandine: bratsche: i was thinking , since there is difficulty finding out the time consumed by the process , how about a hack which calculates the boot time at the first boot and then every time the progress bar depends on that time17:29
bratscheExactly.  We're trying to reduce the startup time anyway, so a progress bar is a lot less useful anyway.17:29
kenvandinemac_v, our hope is the splash is shown so briefly, you would never get a chance to register what the progress is17:30
mac_vi feel we have a nice feature ,and why drop it :) it actually shows off the speed of the boot17:30
bratscheWe're not convinced that it's a good feature. :)17:30
mac_v;p , oh well... then its just me then17:31
bratschePlus you need some communication mechanism between all the components that are starting up so they can notify as they're done and you can advance your progressbar.. and stuff like that ultimately is just going to slow things down a bit.17:31
mac_vright good point , i never thought of that :(17:32
bratscheIn the future we'll be able to start even faster as more important problems are solved (e.g., compiz, Nautilus, panel)17:32
kenvandinemac_v, trying to keep it simple17:32
mac_vyeah  , i guess you are right , well boot for me exactly wasnt 10 secs , so i didnt think of this :)17:33
mac_vbratsche: kenvandine nevermind then , thanx guys17:33
bratschemac_v: We shouldn't be investing any more effort into splash screens and progress bars and things that are ultimately useless.  We should be investing effort into solving startup time for compiz and others.17:33
mac_vbratsche: yeah , are there any bugs regarding the panel in Karmic , which starts very late ?17:34
bratschemac_v: All the new startup fu has not yet landed in Karmic, so you're not seeing the actual Karmic startup time yet.17:34
hyperairwhat new startup fu?17:34
bratscheI think the stuff Scott has been working on.17:34
bratschekenvandine: That hasn't landed in Karmic yet right?17:34
hyperairspecifically what changes?17:35
kenvandinebratsche, not yet17:35
kenvandinehyperair, starting gdm super early17:35
bratschehyperair: I'm not involved in it, so I don't know.  I've only seen him demo it.17:35
kenvandineso you never even see usplash17:35
bratschehyperair: But basically he's moving things so that X is one of the earliest things that starts.17:36
hyperairthat is interesting17:36
kenvandineso you go from a black screen right into xsplash17:36
bratscheAnd a number of other changes under the hood that I'm not at all familiar with.17:36
hyperairbut if you don't see usplash, how will you key in your dm-crypt password?17:36
kenvandinethey are handling that somehow17:36
hyperairi see17:36
kenvandinei am not involved with that17:36
hyperairi was hoping for something more login-centric =(17:36
kenvandinei did hear it mentioned though17:37
hyperairlike compiz starting faster, or something17:37
bratscheYou can still fall back to usplash and stuff under some circumstances, such as when you have to run fsck and all that.17:37
hyperairright now my login time is > 50% of the entire statup time17:37
hyperairstartup*17:37
kenvandinehyperair, the goal is 10 seconds from boot to full desktop17:37
kenvandinefor karmic +117:37
bratscheYes.17:37
kenvandineso we hope to get as close as possible for karmic17:37
hyperairthat sounds great, (so when will we see login stuff changes?)17:37
mac_vbratsche: the xsplash flicker , you have committed the fix but havent linked the branch , is it still in progress or?17:37
bratschemac_v: It's merged into master, but I'm trying to solve another bug now before we do a release.17:38
mac_vhmm... ok , was just hoping to test it out... by i'll wait :)17:38
bratscheHang on, I'll get you a link to the branch if you want.17:38
bratschemac_v: You're welcome to build from master and test it if you want.17:39
mac_vcool17:39
mac_vmaster , nope17:39
bratscheThe bug we're fixing now is related to if you're in a non-composited environment.  If you're using compiz then feel free to build from master.17:39
mac_vbratsche: right now my karmic is on the edge , will try when i get a few other things sorted out :)17:40
bratschekenvandine: I'm getting the same error about insufficient privileges (the dbus warning).. when I'm running in metacity.  Weird.17:49
bratschekenvandine: Any idea why the WM or compositing environment would affect this?17:49
kenvandinebratsche, no... that shouldn't matter17:54
bratscheIt's definitely working with compiz, and it's definitely not working with metacity.  Weird.18:01
bratscheFucking weird.18:01
kenvandineRiddell, ping18:02
kenvandineRiddell, indicator stuff is prepared and waiting to be sponsored if you want to do it18:06
