shtylmanScottK, Riddell: im gonna change my kdm theme to use the new wallpaper... and then post that to the kubuntu-devel list.. think there is a chance we will use that as default? I would like to avoid using the current one with the old air wallpaper and weird center piece :)03:40
shtylmanJontheEchidna: ^03:40
JontheEchidnashtylman: upstream changed the default to the new Ethias paper, but I think I liked the screenshots of yours you posted04:05

NCommanderRiddell, I'm going to bring sip4, python-qt* up to date (sorry I've been kinda slacking on this point), and merge all the Ubuntu changes into Debian11:51
RiddellNCommander: up to date where?  they are up to date in ubuntu (except for build failure on arm)11:55
NCommanderRiddell, in Debian so we can sync the packages11:55
* NCommander is a co-maintainer11:55
Riddellright, lovely11:55
RiddellNCommander: the question is what to do with python-qt311:56
Riddellthe new sip/pyqt4 gets rid of the need for the old configure patches which made builddir!=srcdir work11:56
Riddellbut pyqt3 hasn't been updated by upstream11:56
Riddellso it needs its configure script rewritten for the new SIP way of doing builddir!=srcdir, or we just scrap the builddir!=srcdir, or we just scrap pyqt311:59
Riddellbut apparantly we need it for mnemosyne11:59
NCommanderRiddell, :-/12:02
jussi01oooh, mnemosyne, that was one of the first packages I packaged! :D12:07
jussi01Although I think it got overwritten by a debian one the release after...12:07

marcosRzguys14:44
marcosRzI was thinking about is it hard to make a qt version of synaptic?14:44
Riddellyes14:44
marcosRzIf its hard14:46
marcosRz?14:46
marcosRzI mean synaptic is so complete14:46
NCommanderRiddell, how different is the SIP4 build system now that we can drop the old multibuild hack14:46
RiddellNCommander: not completely different but method and variable names aren't the same as our patch14:48
NCommanderRiddell, but why do we need to change python-qt3?14:49
* NCommander feels a bit lost14:49
NCommanderI know we need to upload it to build against the new sip4 API14:49
daskreechmarcosRz: Hard isn't impossible so if you want to shoot at it please go ahead14:51
marcosRzhm14:51
RiddellNCommander: we patched python-qt3 to make it build with builddir!=srcdir.  now SIP is able to do builddir!=srcdir but using different variables and function than we had.  so the configure file needs to be rewritten for the new builddir!=srcdir stuff14:52
NCommanderRiddell, but thats just SIP's build system, python-qt3 shouldn't care at all about that functionality14:53
RiddellNCommander: python-qt3's configure script uses sipconfig.py14:53
NCommanderugh14:53
NCommanderow14:53
NCommanderok14:53
NCommanderNow I see the problem14:54
* NCommander shivers14:54
NCommanderRiddell, I'll fix it14:54
RiddellNCommander: well remember that we don't care about python-qt3 much and it might be easier just to drop the builddir!=srcdir idea and just build it in place14:54
NCommanderRiddell, you can't safely do that due to the ABI issues building against different versions of python14:56
Riddellwe only build for one version of python14:57
