| hyperair | hmm notify-osd hates fractional font sies | 18:13 |
| hyperair | sizes* | 18:13 |
| maxriskfactor | hyperair, any major problem with it | 18:15 |
| maxriskfactor | ? | 18:15 |
| hyperair | maxriskfactor: set your application font size to 7.5 or something | 18:16 |
| hyperair | or 8.5 | 18:16 |
| hyperair | or anything with the dot | 18:16 |
| hyperair | and see what happens. | 18:16 |
| hyperair | notify-osd gets really tiny | 18:16 |
| hyperair | because it thinks that the font size is 0. | 18:16 |
| maxriskfactor | ahh.. | 18:16 |
| hyperair | there's a fix. | 18:16 |
| hyperair | but that was aages ago | 18:16 |
| hyperair | october last yer | 18:16 |
| maxriskfactor | the same problem was with Gwibber to | 18:16 |
| hyperair | that's 3 months! | 18:16 |
| maxriskfactor | *too | 18:16 |
| hyperair | but why hasn't it gotten uploaded? | 18:16 |
| hyperair | er | 18:17 |
| hyperair | gwibber? | 18:17 |
| maxriskfactor | fractional fonts size made it to act stupidly | 18:17 |
| maxriskfactor | yes.. dunno the situation now.. | 18:17 |
| hyperair | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/notify-osd/+bug/396736 | 18:17 |
| maxriskfactor | mostly people don't change the font size, so it should not affect a lot of people | 18:17 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 396736 in notify-osd "notify-osd seems to be unable to use some of the fonts" [Medium,In progress] | 18:17 |
| maxriskfactor | but still, this is a big bug | 18:17 |
| hyperair | it annoys me | 18:17 |
| hyperair | MASSIVELY | 18:17 |
| hyperair | it annoyed me enough to go digging inside notify-osd code to fix it | 18:17 |
| hyperair | then i find out that the fix has been around for 3 months but hasn't been merged. | 18:18 |
| hyperair | why?! | 18:18 |
| maxriskfactor | who is the dev for notify-osd? | 18:18 |
| maxriskfactor | means dev-team? | 18:18 |
| hyperair | macslow | 18:18 |
| hyperair | but he isn't around | 18:19 |
| maxriskfactor | yes, the patch is here | 18:19 |
| maxriskfactor | http://launchpadlibrarian.net/34093436/notify-osd-fontfloaters.diff | 18:19 |
| hyperair | my diff's smaller. | 18:20 |
| hyperair | it's committed to a bzr branch | 18:20 |
| hyperair | but not merged | 18:20 |
| hyperair | and not released | 18:20 |
| maxriskfactor | bad bad.. | 18:22 |
| maxriskfactor | hyperair, when was macslow last seen? | 18:23 |
| hyperair | 2 days ago | 18:24 |
| maxriskfactor | he is a canonical dev or a volunteer? | 18:25 |
| hyperair | i think the former | 18:25 |
| vish | canonical employee ;) | 18:25 |
| vish | hyperair: last i heard macslow was out of notify-osd mode :( | 18:26 |
| maxriskfactor | then is he AWOL? he should be available since notify-osd is such a high-priority project | 18:26 |
| hyperair | vish: it's not unmaintained is it? | 18:26 |
| vish | hyperair: they probably have him doing some other ayatana stuff... my guess is it is a bit unmaintained :( | 18:26 |
| * hyperair sighs | 18:26 | |
| * maxriskfactor thinks sabdfl should look into this matter | 18:27 | |
| maxriskfactor | reason being he is heavily interested in usability project | 18:27 |
| vish | maxriskfactor: it is most probably sabdfl who has macslow doing other stuff ;p | 18:27 |
| hyperair | vish: you sure have a wide range of nicknames don't you | 18:30 |
| vish | hyperair: just updated nick recently... :) | 18:30 |
| hyperair | heh | 18:30 |
| maxriskfactor | now the situation is that patches and fixed branches are there. | 18:30 |
| maxriskfactor | but people to review and merge them are missing | 18:30 |
| * hyperair nods | 18:32 | |
| hyperair | well we can poke macslow when he returns | 18:32 |
| * vish checks notify-osd changelog | 18:32 | |
| vish | rather lp rev | 18:33 |
| vish | hyperair: nothing since a very long time :( > https://code.launchpad.net/~notify-osd-developers/notify-osd/main | 18:34 |
| hyperair | aye | 18:34 |
| maxriskfactor | vish, 8 days since lats change | 18:57 |
| vish | maxriskfactor: huh? it was oct 2009 ;p | 18:58 |
| maxriskfactor | vish, wait. lemme check | 18:58 |
| maxriskfactor | vish, oops. so so so long | 18:59 |
| maxriskfactor | it looks abandoned | 18:59 |
| vish | maxriskfactor: you could ask on the ayatana mailing list if notify-osd development has been abandoned | 19:04 |
| maxriskfactor | its just my thinking that it is abandoned | 19:05 |
| maxriskfactor | vish, since if a project dev is slow, it should still accept patches | 19:10 |
| maxriskfactor | even if the devs dont have time | 19:10 |
| maxriskfactor | vish, ^ | 19:11 |
| vish | maxriskfactor: yup , but even patches need to be reviewed :) that takes time too... I would really suggest if you can bring this up in the ML, if there is anyone else who can review your patch and merge | 19:13 |
| maxriskfactor | vish, anyway patches arnt supposed to be big | 19:13 |
| maxriskfactor | big patches are usually not taken much care | 19:14 |
| maxriskfactor | vish, if those patches are small, then it can be easily reviewed and taken care of | 19:14 |
