DarkwingDuckRiddell: Whats up?00:04
DarkwingDuckRiddell: I just got home, what you need me to test?00:04
DarkwingDuck*holds breath*00:11
JontheEchidnanixternal: Adept, kontact and okular each use their own sidebar. I wish there was a ksidebar too00:16
TimqHello!00:16
DarkwingDuckRiddell: It installed just fine. Lemme reboot really quick and make sure everything seems to run okay...00:16
TimqTo whom would I talk to offer my services for Project Timelord?00:19
nixternalJontheEchidna: adept, kontact, okular, kate, and konqueror :)00:20
JontheEchidnameh :( soprano_2.3.70+dfsg.1-0ubuntu1_source.changes rejected00:20
JontheEchidnaTimq: you don't really have to talk to anybody. contributing to kubuntu is contributing to project timelord00:22
JontheEchidnaI guess the question is: What do you want to do?00:22
TimqOh, I see.  Is the link in the channel header the list of current WIPs?00:22
TimqWell, I have experience with web development (PHP, MySQL) and all that, as well as experience on Java and C++ applications00:23
TimqI also have worked some with C in a Linux environment, if that could help on anything00:23
JontheEchidnaYes, that is the Todo list for the next release00:24
JontheEchidnaIf web development is your thing, you may want to get in touch with ryanacka (who appears to not be here at the moment)00:26
JontheEchidnaScottK, Riddell: Any idea what set of packages I can upload to is? soprano got rejected for being in main. :(00:26
TimqHmmmm, really?  What sort of stuff is he working on currently?00:26
geekles_the kubuntu logo on the shield on kubuntu.org is Hot! kudos to whomever did that.00:27
JontheEchidnageekles_: thank nookie^ if you can catch him online sometime. he's responsible for that00:27
JontheEchidnaTimq: oh, he's pretty much the one-man army for web development for kubuntu00:27
geekles_i will, that's just fantastic looking. good work on getting 4.3.4 out so quickly too guys.00:27
JontheEchidnaI'm quite positive he'd like to not be a one-man army ;-)00:27
TimqHahaha, interesting.  Well, I00:28
Timq'...*I'll keep my eyes open for him, and let him know.  Thanks!00:28
geekles_i'll have to check the contribute wiki for web stuff then00:28
JontheEchidnaTimq: I believe there's a section on the Todo pertaining to web dev stuff00:28
JontheEchidna"Community, Website, Marketing and Branding"00:28
TimqOk, I'll check it out00:28
=== geekles_ is now known as geekles
geeklesso the Todo has a section on web dev stuff, but it's rather ahh, vague? and the wiki page on gettinginvolved/design is empty. where would one find out more if interested?00:36
Timqgeekles:  I agree.  It all looks nice, but is there anything more oriented towards software development rather than marketing?00:37
Timq^ (Generalized question for anyone)00:37
TimqIn addition to web development, I'm willing to work on anything in C++ (which I saw mentioned on the Project Timelord homepage)00:38
JontheEchidnaAbout the only C++ project we have going on now is Kubuntu Notification Helper: https://edge.launchpad.net/kubuntu-notification-helper00:40
TimqAh, based on that link, I take it that you are the current maintainer, Jon?00:44
JontheEchidnayep00:44
tsimpsonand the ubuntu-one KDE client00:45
JontheEchidnaoh, yeah. forgot about that one00:45
JontheEchidnaapachelogger is heading up that00:45
TimqWhat is that, tsimpson?  I'm sorry, I'm just not familiar with all the various projects going on. :)00:46
JontheEchidnathere's probably quite a bit more to do there than with kubuntu-notification-helper00:46
tsimpsonTimq: it's a client for one.ubuntu.com00:47
tsimpsonhttp://gitorious.org/ubuntuone-client-kde00:48
TimqHmm, I'll have to think about all this some more before I can choose anything.  Thank you!00:55
ScottKJontheEchidna: ./edit_acl.py -P kubuntu -S lucid query00:55
tsimpsonit help if you know Qt and KDE00:55
TimqYes, I can imagine.  Looks like I'll have to learn :/00:55
ScottKJontheEchidna: edit_acl.py can be found on Launchpad00:55
ScottKI think in archive-admin-tools or something like that00:56
JontheEchidnais that a team or a project?00:57
TimqGoodnight (or Good day?), everyone!00:59
JontheEchidnahttps://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive/ubuntu-archive-tools/trunk00:59
geeklesIs there a contact for contributing with the web design stuff, or should I just post to the kubuntu-devel mailing list?00:59
tsimpsonhttps://launchpad.net/kubuntu-website01:00
tsimpsonyou can file bugs against the website there01:00
ScottKJontheEchidna: That looks right01:01
nixternalJontheEchidna: konq_sidebar is a kpart :)01:01
* nixternal goes and watches president failbama01:02
JontheEchidnaScottK: To whom would I speak about adding akonadi and soprano to the list?01:02
ScottKJontheEchidna: We should talk to cjwatson.01:03
DarkwingDuckRiddell: Seems to be working01:03
ScottKnixternal: Can you upload JontheEchidna's stuff while you're watching TV?01:03
* ScottK has several hours before he can sit still long enough to do it.01:03
JontheEchidnait's actually lex's stuff, which I was sponsoring for him01:05
Lex79ScottK: should we keep boost 1.38 for now?01:05
ScottKLex79: Have to.  1.40 is still in Universe01:05
Lex79oh, ok01:05
JontheEchidnanixternal: Oh, konq's is totally different that kontact, adept and okular's01:06
JontheEchidnakate and konq's are similar01:06
JontheEchidnasoprano package I was trying to upload is here: http://jmthomas.toniox.org/soprano_2.3.70%2bdfsg.1-0ubuntu1.dsc01:07
JontheEchidnaqt4-x11 is another notable package missing from the list of things kubuntu-devs can upload01:10
JontheEchidnamaybe I should start a list01:10

ScottKDarkwingDuck: Riddell is on vacation, kayaking in the Scottish Highlands, this week, so his internet connection is a bit spotty.  I saw you ping'ed him earlier.04:42
DarkwingDuckYeah, he pinged me about 30 min before I pinged him LOL04:43
JontheEchidnaScottK: were there any other issues with the libattica package? (I believe I've resolved all of the ones you raised with the latest upload)04:44
txwikingerthey have Internet in the Scottish Highlands?04:44
ScottKJontheEchidna: That was it.04:44
ScottKtxwikinger: Apparently a wee bit.04:45
JontheEchidnak, cool. I believe I'll upload it then04:45
txwikingerwell.. it would be almost 5am there now...  the spottiness is probably due to time of day :D04:45
ScottKtxwikinger: That too, but even when he was trying to be online it wasn't going well.  He missed JontheEchidna's kubuntu-dev application.04:48
ScottKJontheEchidna: Give me the REVU link again so I can stamp advocated on it.04:48
txwikingerindeed...I noticed that04:48
JontheEchidnaScottK: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/libattica04:48
shtylmanScottK: I need to package something... the live assistant python app... its platform independent.. and I don't have any .orig files or anything... its brand new04:49
shtylmanwhat is the best way to do that so that it can go into my PPA04:49

ScottKshtylman: There is some LP process for releasing a tarball.  I don't know what it is.  In the meantime, you can make a tarball from a bzr snapshot.04:51
shtylmanand that will act as orig?04:52
ScottKshtylman: I believe that vorian wants me to say nice things about him for IRC Council and so my desire to see you succeed may cause him to help you.04:52

ScottKThank you for your contribution to Kubuntu.05:05
nixternalshtylman: on your ubuntu-assistant, change your port from 6667 to 8001 please :)05:30
shtylmannixternal: is that more correct?05:30
nixternalit is a safer port, that way there the client won't disconnect when someone attempts the DCC exploit05:31
shtylmangotcha05:31
shtylmandoes that port still allow for file transfers?05:31
DarkwingDuckIs there going to be a KDE "Software Store" or, a Gnomeish looking add/remove to find programs vice packages that you have to search by in KPackageKit05:31

Mamarokwhy oh why is KDE 4.3.4 yet in another PPA? Can't we just use the backports one for new versions? This is ridiculous07:51
Mamarokit was in the backports previously, and IIRC didn't we decide not to have that old PPA mess anymore?07:53
* Mamarok shakes head at so much confusion07:53
Mamarokwith the left hand not knowing what the right hand does, we will never end up with a sane Kubuntu community, really07:55
Mamarok /rant07:55
jussi01Mamarok: wait a sec, you say some of these people are sane to start with? o.O07:55
* markey upgrades to KDE SC 4.3.407:55
Mamarokjussi01: it is a damn mess, that's what it is07:56
jussi01I've met some of them... definately not sane :P07:56
Mamarokit is a backport of a new version, so it has to be in backports, period07:56
Mamarokhow difficult is that to understand?07:56
Mamarokclear policy where things below is really badly needed07:57
* Mamarok goes to update that topic of the #kubuntu channel07:57
Mamarokoh well, done already, still doesn't change the fact that you folks are messing up thing again, I bet we will have a bazillion PPAs again by then end of the Lucid cycle07:58
jussi01Mamarok: true, and sorry to interupt your little rant with my jokes08:01

amichairI'm looking at jocket for some crash bugs, and have some questions10:40
amichairlike why the code used by kde is running a gtk event loop10:41
amichairwho knows jockey/dbus well?10:41
tsimpsonit's using the glib loop10:45
tsimpsonwhich Qt uses too, btw10:45
tsimpsonalso the QtDBus stuff is not ported to python, so it needs to use the "native" python dbus bindings10:45
amichairtsimpson: Qt uses actual glib code, or are the loop somehow standardized?10:48
tsimpsonamichair: Qt has the option to use glib if it's available10:49
amichairthe dbus-python docs show how to use a Qt main loop, wouldn't it be better to use that?10:49
tsimpsonif it works, possibly10:50
amichairtsimpson: do u have a few moments to discuss other things in jockey?10:50
tsimpsonI haven't really messed with the jockey code in a while, but I'll help if I can10:51
amichairin the same place where the loop is used (dbus_sync_call_signal_wrapper), it uses global variables to hold call results - couldn't that cause a race condition?10:53
amichaire.g. if the event loop catches  a signal, whose processing calls another dbus method10:54
tsimpsonoops ;)10:55
tsimpsonif you mean the "DBUS_BUS_NAME" var, then it's never changed anyway, right?10:55
tsimpsonoh, wait. I see what you mean10:55
amichairno, 'global _h_reply_result' and '_h_exception_result'10:55
amichairwell I'm looking for a crash with no idea what causes it which I can't recreate, so I'm just poking at anything that looks suspicious, I don't know if it actually occurrs in practice10:56
tsimpsonI don't think so, as those actually seem to be function local10:57
amichairthey're explicitly declared 'global', doesn't that make them really global?10:57
tsimpsonwell there are sub-functions in there, so global is just non-local to those10:58
tsimpsonplus the _h_reply_result variable only appears in that one function and in that one file10:58
amichairso 'global' goes one level up in scope?10:58
tsimpsonwell that "global _h_reply_result, _h_exception_exc" seems to do nothing as far as I can see10:59
amichairyeah but nothing stops that method from being called concurrently, especially since it goes through the trouble of processing signals while waiting for results10:59
tsimpsonthose are used nowhere else in the code10:59
tsimpsoneach function will be called with a closure11:00
tsimpsonwhich means that each should have its own instance of those11:00
tsimpsonie: not shared11:00
tsimpsonthey only seem to be used for the _h_reply and _h_error sub-functions11:00
amichairwhich in turn change the global variables... AIUI those globals will thus be accessed concurrently, overwriting each other's results11:02
amichairunless 'global' is not really global... trying to read up on that11:03
tsimpsonamichair: the global there seems to insert the variables into the global scope, but nothing else uses them11:04
amichairnothing else except that method, which may be called concurrently?11:05
tsimpsonI'm not sure if it is called concurrently, but that's part of the jockey backend11:06
tsimpsonie: we didn't write it11:07
amichairwhat I'm trying to say is there's one method, with two internal callbacks, which change a global variable. if the method (specifically its callbacks) are called twice concurrently, there's a race condition in setting the globals11:07
tsimpsonI see that11:07
tsimpsonmaybe the gobject main loop thing locks it?11:08
amichairdunno11:10
amichairalso, there's a _package_operation_in_progress flag, which isn't properly locked too11:11
amichair(but used as if it were)11:13
tsimpsonI guess you should file a bug against jockie and see what they say11:21
amichairthe bugs which brought me here are already filed... so I guess either I just leave it alone and let them do it, or I find someone involved which I can discuss it with11:23
tsimpsonwell, I mean about the possible race condition11:23
amichairthere are a bunch of similar things, not sure it will help to open a bug for each, especially since I'm not sure :-)11:24
amichairdo u know who wrote it?11:24
ghostcubehi humans11:24
tsimpsonamichair: several people at canonical, other than that, nope :(11:25
tsimpsonI'm putting myself forward for the IRC Council, comments welcome on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TerenceSimpson :)11:29
markeyguys, I'm trying to build a tool that's using autoconf (automake and all this old stuff). anyway, autoconf is giving me this error:12:03
markeyconfigure.ac:6: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE12:03
markeyanyone got an idea where that comes from?12:03
ScottKMamarok: We are waiting to get tech board approval to put it into -proposed/updates (4.3.4).  Currently it has at least one serious regression (no spell checking reported by multiple people) that needs to get resolved.12:05
MamarokScottK: nah, I was talking about the Kubuntu backports PPA, why isn't it there? Makes not much sense to me, yet another PPA12:09
Mamaroksince it is a backport, so I don't see why it is in a kubuntu PPA which is less than self explaining12:10
ScottKMamarok: Part of the problem there is that we really can't put Qt 4.6 in regular Ubuntu backports.  It affects too many packages, so backport of a major version like 4.4, really has to be in a PPA.12:10
MamarokI didn't talk about regular backports, but the backports PPA12:11
Mamarokwhere KDE 4.3.3 and Amarok 2.2.1 are already12:11
ScottKAh, I see.12:11
ScottK4.3.3 should not have gone in that PPA.12:11
ScottKThe backports PPA should be for the major version updates like a backport of 4.4.12:11
Mamarokso if we backport KDE stuff, it really should go into backports PPA, else ewe are going to have again a bazillion of PPAs during the next months12:12
ScottKIt should be at most 4.12:12
Mamarokkeep in mind that it should at least be consistent, now it is very far from that12:12
ScottK4.3.3 in backports PPA was a mistake.12:12
Mamarokhow many PPAs are there in use now? 4? which is too many already12:12
ScottKOne of them should never concern users.12:13
Mamarokwell, then sort that out, but one PPA for all things backported should be consistent, it is confusing and just wrong the way it is now12:13
Mamarokwe have been using backports PPA for all KDE backports so far, why not now?12:13
ScottKWe use the staging PPA so we can give an entire KDE SC update at once.12:13
ScottKThe idea is to have three for potential users:12:14
jussi01yeah, staging shouldnt really be added at all12:14
ScottK1.  For updates of the existing KDE version (like 4.3.4)12:14
Mamarokthe mess in Intrepid and Jaunty with 6 PPAs where nobody knew what should go where was already a hassle, let's not start that confudion again12:14
ScottK2.  For upgrades to the next major KDE SC (4.4)12:14
ScottK3.  One for experimental stuff you really need to be careful about.12:14
ScottKThat should be it.12:14
ScottKMamarok: I agree it got out of hand before.12:15
Mamarokyes, but now we are already in a mess again since we have two KDE 4.3.x updates in different PPAs for Karmic12:15
ScottKI do think we need these three tough12:15
ScottKI'll remove 4.3.3 from backports.12:15
MamarokI agree we need staging, but we should be consistent, and rename PPAs if needed and then definitely stick to the paln12:15
Mamarokplan*12:16
ScottKI thought it had been moved.12:16
Mamarokcurrently it's all a mess again, not as bad as before, but still a mess12:16
MamarokI really thought it was sorted once and for all, so maybe a mail to the kubuntu-devel list with a clear proposition and everybody stick to that is needed12:17
ScottKI'm currently removing the stuff from backports that should never have been there.12:20
MamarokScottK: be careful to have the website entries updated accordingly, too, we point people there usually12:20
* Mamarok is not an editor and can't change that12:21
MamarokScottK: thanks for changing :)12:21
MamarokScottK: so where will Amarok 2.2.1 be? still in backports or the kubuntu PPA?12:22
ScottKMamarok: I was just looking at that one.12:22
ScottKMamarok: It looks to me like that should be in updates.12:23
Mamarokyes, I think so, too12:23
markeyok, I just can't this this to build12:23
markeyanother approach: I have a i386 .deb for this tool12:24
markeycan I somehow install it on 64bit?12:24
Mamarokmarkey: what are you talking about?12:24
markeythis stupid git-home-history tool12:24
markeyhttp://jean-francois.richard.name/ghh/12:24
Mamarokah, build it from source?12:24
markey(for making backups with Git)12:25
markeywell, it's not packaged in kubuntu12:25
Mamarokyep, so build it from source is probably the easiest wy to go for you, or learn packaging for Kubuntu :)12:25
markeyso, I guess I have to "build" it (it's not really a build, because it's written in Bash + Python + Something)12:25
markeygetting this:12:26
Mamarokughs12:26
markeyconfigure.ac:6: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE12:26
seaLnecould some one with kmail from 434 please check if on a message with multiple to/cc fields when selecting reply to all (pressing a) it actually does for you?12:26
markeyif anyone knows how to package it, that would be grand12:26
markeyapparently the tool is very good12:26
markeyit could become popular12:26
markeyrofl, it gets better and better12:30
markeyapparently another guy has no written a tool based on git-home-history, called Git-Home12:30
markeyhttp://git-home.chezwam.org/tutorial.html12:30
markeyOo12:30
ScottKMamarok: I just copied amarok to updates.  I won't delete it out of backports until after I fix the web site (later today).12:30
MamarokScottK: thanks a lot!12:31
amichairtsimpson: can u pls take a quick look at Bug #448753? from the trace in the middle, seems like it might have to do with the gtk loop being used in qt - what do u think?12:31

ScottKdantti: Riddell is on vacation this week.12:55
danttiScottK: ah.. :P thanks.. maybe you know something about that page?12:56
ScottKdantti: You might also be interested in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FoundationsTeam/Specs/BackportsNotAutomatic - I think the U/I implications of this are useful for Debian for backports.org, volatile, and experimental.12:56
* ScottK looks12:56
ScottKdantti: I think I heard some discussion of this, but I'm not familiar with the details.  I'm sure mvo is the person to ask about it.12:57
danttiScottK: k, cause there is some stuff like package description and localization that we already have today... don't get why we would need that again..13:00

ArunaHello all i am a new to ubuntu/kubuntu.. if i like to contribute to the project. what language i need to learn i am basically i am a java programmer.. and i do gui programming18:30
ScottKAruna: The programming we do is mostly Python (PyQt/PyKDE) and C++ Qt.  We also package stuff which needs knowing about makefiles and shell scripting (not advanced stuff though)18:31
ArunaScottK:  if i learn QT is it ok ?18:32
ScottKAruna: If you mean Qt, yes (QT is Apple's QuickTime)18:32
ScottK;-)18:33
ArunaScottK:  nooo Qt18:33
ScottKJontheEchidna will be glad to put you to work.18:33
ArunaScottK: currently i dont know any unix lanuage now.. only java :( i may learn some xwindows gui language and start working :)18:34
ScottKWe may sometimes have Java stuff too.18:34
ScottKIt's just not a focus.18:34
Arunai can understand :)18:35
Arunahttp://qt.nokia.com/  this is what you use mostly18:36
Arunai never learn python18:36
amichairAruna: it's pretty simple to pick up python18:37
Arunaamichair: so i go for PyQt or PyKDE  ?18:38
amichairthe KDE classes sort of wrap around Qt, sometimes adding things18:38
amichairpyqt/pykde are python bindings for the C++ qt/kde classes18:39
ScottKAruna: That is mostly what we use and you can use Qt via Python bindings or C++18:39
amichairAruna: do u have any experience with C++?18:40
Arunaamichair: i do learn basicas i did a small project with c++ and sybase long back.18:40
amichairso u can either go over qt/kde in C++, or start off with python and then pyqt/pykde18:41
ArunaCoool :)  i try both and choose a path :)18:42
ScottKAruna: Virtually everyone here is here as a volunteer, so ultimately a lot of this is about how you want to contribute.18:43
amichairif u want u can read the first few chapters of http://www.diveintopython.org/, it should give u a good feel for the language18:43
jussi01!u | amichair18:43
ubottuamichair: U is the 21st letter of the modern latin alphabet. Neither 'U' or 'Ur' are words in the English language. Nor are 'R', 'Y', 'l8', 'Ne1' or 'Bcuz'. Mangled English is hard for non-native English speakers. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/abbreviations/ for more information.18:44
ScottKIt's also available in Kubuntu as a package if you want to read it locally18:44
amichairI personally think even if u don't end up really using it, knowing new languages is always a good thing :-)18:44
amichairsorry jussi0118:44
Aruna>It's also available in Kubuntu as a package if you want to read it locally ??18:45
amichairthe book, 'Dive Into Python'. it's in the repositories, in various formats downloadable from the site, and available online there too. whatever suits you :-)18:46
ArunaWooow18:47
ArunaPEF ?18:47
ArunaPDF >18:47
MamarokAruna: just install the package diveintopython, that will bring in the doc18:48
ArunaMamarok: great thankyou :)18:48
MamarokAruna: it will then show up in the menu, under documentation18:49
amichairAruna: after you get the 'feel' of python from there, the rest is just details you can find in the python docs or search the web - very easy to find answers.18:49
Arunayes i got you :) i will be back soon once get idea :)18:51

fale__cool :)19:27
fale__I'll wait for it, then ;). Btw: didn't knew that there were 'private ppas'..19:27
JontheEchidnaoh, yeah. there are. We only use them when KDE hasn't released the tarballs to the public yet like for KDE releases19:28

MamarokI am a bit puzzled at that dependencies I get from a user: http://wklej.org/id/222924/21:20
Mamarokwhy on earth does Amarok 2.2.1 require KDE 4.3.3?21:21
Mamarokwe only depend on Qt 4.3.x since after 2.2.121:22
MamarokRiddell: you are still ops in #kubuntu, even on a holiday?21:24
JontheEchidnaMamarok: since the amarok packages were built against 4.3.3 they requires KDE 4.3.321:27
JontheEchidna*they require21:27
JontheEchidnathe person just needs to update his KDE (he should be able to, as the amarok packages are on the same PPA as 4.3.3)21:28
JontheEchidnaactually... I don't know where he's getting his amarok packages. It doesn't make sense21:31
MamarokJontheEchidna: hm, that seems to be the problem, since KDE 4.3.3 is not in that backports PPA anymore21:31
JontheEchidnaoh yeah. it moved to the regular ppa21:32
Mamarokit should never have been there, KDE 4.3.4 is in the kubuntu PPA21:32
ScottKIt's only still in backports because I didn't find the web site password yet21:32
Mamarokwell, because I ranted about it21:32
ScottKI did copy it to updates already21:32
ScottKThat too21:33
Mamarokapparently he can't get 2.2.1 anymore because of that21:33
Mamarokfunny :(21:33
ScottKHe couldn't have gotten 2.2.1 without 4.3.3 ever.  Have him enable updates and update.21:33
Mamaroksince he didn't have the kubuntu PPA21:33
ScottKAh.21:33
MamarokScottK: it was not necessary till this morning21:34
ScottKMamarok: It didn't get more necessary today.21:34
ScottKIt's just that before today you always got 4.3.3 withit.21:34
ScottKwithit/with it21:34
MamarokScottK: well, apparently he ran into trouble nonetheless21:34
Mamaroktold him to upgrade to 4.3.421:34
ScottKAgreed21:34
* ScottK waves at ryanakca and hopes he'll fix it21:35
ScottK(making sure the 4.3.3/4 and amarok 2.2.1 announcements on kubuntu.org point to updates PPA and not backports)21:35
Mamarokso, just so I get it right: KDE updates go to the regular PPA, everything else (Amarok, Koffice) int the backports PPA, right?21:35
Mamarokand once KDE 4.4 is out, where does that go?21:36
JontheEchidnano amarok updates should go to the regular ppa too21:39
Mamarokhm, so Koffice only to the backports?21:40
MamarokJontheEchidna: could we have that written down somewhere? I am a bit confused21:40
MamarokScottK: sorry for my rant this morning, BTW, wasn't meant against you, I was just really worried about that mix up21:42
ScottKMamarok: It should be written down.  -updates is 3rd digit updates to what's in that release already.  -backports is major versions introduced in a later release.21:42
ScottKMamarok: No problem.21:42
JontheEchidnaKDE SC 4.4 would go in -experimental while it's beta, then move to -backports when it's 4.4.021:45
MamarokOK21:52
neversfeldeJontheEchidna: I think KDE SC 4.4 beta should go to the backports beta ppa?22:02
neversfeldebut I am not sure, we have to many ppas :)22:03
=== Riddelll is now known as Riddell
Mamarokmy point22:03
neversfeldeMamarok: Amarok is in the backports ppa and not in updates, because there are gui changes, same for koffice afaik22:04
Mamarok*sigh*22:05
Mamarokneversfelde: talk to JontheEchidna, he says otherwise22:05
Mamarokyou folks should get that sorted out once and for all, it's a big mess again22:05
Mamarokneversfelde: there were not that many GUI changes from 2.2 to 2.2.1, I don't see the point, really22:06
neversfeldeMamarok: there are some changes and they are not translated, so I think it is ok to put it in backports22:07
Mamarokneversfelde: the point is that apparently the kubuntu developers themselfs are not in agreement what goes where, so please, sort this out ASAP, else we end up in the same mess we had with Intrepid and Jauntxy PPAs22:09
Mamarokor worse...22:09
Mamarokthenselves*22:09
Mamarok-x22:09
Mamarokok, got to go, bbl22:09
neversfeldebye22:09
neversfeldeI think we should delete the experimental ppa or make it private, I got a couple of complaints from people who messed up their system with koffice 2.1 and Qt 4.622:10
neversfelderest should be easy, bugfix releases in updates and other releases in backports, beta packages in beta backports?22:11
JontheEchidnathis is what was decided on the mailing list, though beta and experimental were merged: http://paste.ubuntu.com/333438/22:15
JontheEchidnaAmarok's wacky release policy does make it hard to place22:16
neversfeldeJontheEchidna: yes, Riddel said it should go to backports and I think it was a good decision :)22:17
neversfeldeshould not be a real problem for the users, everyone who can add the updates ppa can do it with backports, too22:18
Blizzzwhat does it take to see kDebug() output on konsole?22:31
* Blizzz is cluelessly hacking some app..22:31
ScottKneversfelde: I think experimental is fine.  Given how it's labled, such people should just be told to go read the description of the PPA again.22:37
ScottKAt least one person broke their system installing from staging too.22:37
neversfeldeScottK: you are right. It was probably a mistake to build koffice rc there, we should have used staging.22:39
