didrocksjames_w: I've used upstream branch bzr workflow in 3 different packages. It worked like a charm. You rock!01:54
james_wnice01:54
james_wthanks for testing01:54
didrocksthanks for coding :)01:58

pittigoes fine with libsexy and libsexy03:00
pittiliboobs, I mean03:00
kklimondaindeed :)03:00
didrocksjames_w: I have a new issue for you: when the upstream branch as some files that the orig.tar.gz doesn't have, it doesn't merge into the packaging branch and we can then encounter some errors03:04

robert_ancellTheMuso, can I get you to sponsor an upload please?05:22
seb128robert_ancell, hey05:29
seb128robert_ancell, what do you need to get uploaded?05:29
robert_ancellseb128, launchpad-integration.  I *finally* got it to work with the "GAC"05:29
seb128robert_ancell, I can do that05:30
robert_ancellseb128, yay!  Why are you still up?05:30
seb128robert_ancell, because I'm sprinting in the u.s?05:30
robert_ancellit's 9pm there right?05:31
seb128yes05:31
robert_ancelldon't stretch a muscle :)05:31
seb128short story, we got pizza and are doing a hacking evening05:31
robert_ancellanything fun?05:31
seb128officially it's a gtg hackfest05:31
robert_ancellright05:31
seb128I've been joining because the indicators weekly updates turned to be a mess05:32
seb128and we sort of broke lucid05:32
robert_ancell:/05:32
seb128so we're fixing ;-)05:32
seb128how is it going for you?05:32
robert_ancellgood.  I was very confused reading the Debian policy on CLI libraries... Nothing would work until I removed the includes from the debian/control (as I believe is the correct way to do things with Debhelper 7)05:33
robert_ancellaside from that, trying to do some last minute patches before friday evening :)05:34
bryce2seb128, well I'm doing gtg hacking :-)05:34
seb128;-)05:34
bryce2seb128, but yeah I thought we'd be chatting about gtg more.  oh well05:34
robert_ancellwhy, I notice gtg doesn't have any launchpad integration...05:34
bryce2robert_ancell, yeah I started working on it in a branch05:35
seb128robert_ancell, shame you are not there05:35
seb128you could have join to do that05:35
bryce2robert_ancell, however they're planning to rearchitect the backends system, so I want to wait on that first05:35
robert_ancellbryce, I was just going to offer to do that :)05:35
bryce2ah05:35
robert_ancellbryce, rearchitect what?05:35
bryce2robert_ancell, they want to have an ability to have multiple data stores (which they call 'backends')05:36
robert_ancellbryce, that should be orthogonal to the launchpad integration - I'm meaning the help->report a problem menu. I'm guessing you mean a lot deeper integration05:36
bryce2so for instance you could have one couchdb instance for work tasks, and another for personal tasks05:37
robert_ancellI have a GTG task on "reporting bugs" I need to close05:37
bryce2ohhh05:37
bryce2yeah, I'm thinking more along the lines of being able to sync with bugs you're assigned05:38
robert_ancellthat would be very handy05:38
robert_ancellgtg overlaps with tomboy quite a bit doesn't it..05:38
bryce2there's a tomboy plugin for gtg in fact (haven't tried it tho)05:39
seb128robert_ancell, debian/liblaunchpad-integration1-cil.installcligac?05:39
robert_ancellseb128, do you know if anyone has tried to push launchpad integration patches upstream?05:39
robert_ancellseb128, yes05:40
seb128what is that?05:40
seb128.installcligac?05:40
bryce2robert_ancell, I've not seen a branch for adding that05:40
robert_ancellyou need it so the the libraries are automatically added into the "GAC"05:40
robert_ancell"global assembly cache"05:41
bryce2robert_ancell, they seem to be pretty open to considering branches and they use bzr merge proposals05:41
bryce2https://code.edge.launchpad.net/gtg/05:42
robert_ancellbryce, yeah, the thing is liblaunchpadintegration is very ubuntu focussed (which is why it- but it would be useful if gtg could use it for the bug links and it could detect you are on ubuntu and05:42
robert_ancellis why it's never gone upstream before)05:42
robert_ancellhmm, that got cut up05:42
bryce2robert_ancell, well they use launchpad for tracking their own bugs, so I think they'd be interested in it05:42
seb128robert_ancell, lpi uploaded05:43
robert_ancellbryce, yeah, the thing is liblaunchpadintegration is very ubuntu focussed (which is why why it's never gone upstream before) if gtg could use it for the bug links but disable the other functionality unless you are on ubuntu it would be helpful to the,05:43
robert_ancellm05:43
robert_ancellseb128, thanks05:43
seb128robert_ancell, lpi upstream not really, lool tried to start a discussion about that I think05:43
seb128having apis to let distributors add custom translations etc entries05:44
jcastrohttp://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/wUspnAdBSm05:44
jcastrodidrocks: ^^05:44
robert_ancellseb128, in fact, a libproject would be handy and we could have a system setting for overridding it for us05:44
robert_ancellso libproject would add a report bug link which would go to the project homepage by default, or their bugzilla, or the distro if we choose to add it05:45
robert_ancellit would save a lot of overhead for us in packaging05:45
robert_ancellhmmmm05:45
bryce2robert_ancell, inkscape would probably be amenable to it too05:48
bryce2(if it's not in inkscape already, I do know we have hooks for reporting bugs to launchpad)05:49
robert_ancellbryce, oh, I didn't know they used LP05:49
TheMusorobert_ancell: Do you still need that upload sponsored?06:21
robert_ancellTheMuso, seb128 did it, thanks!06:22
TheMusorobert_ancell: np06:22
robert_ancellpitti, Some of the new applications I have been adding "report a problem" menu items for report "This is not a genuine Ubuntu packge" - is there a whitelist of packages this should work for?06:43
NafaiGood morning everyone14:13
chrisccoulsonhey Nafai14:13
chrisccoulsonoops14:14

Nafaiwee, that was fun16:03

TheMusoc16:58
chrisccoulsonbah, no milanbv around today17:02
seb128re17:06
seb128sorry got disconnected before17:06
chrisccoulsonhey seb12817:06
seb128chrisccoulson: did you manage to get your laptop working?17:06
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i'm running without plymouth now, so that solves the random freeze17:06
chrisccoulsonbut i still can't blank the display without it freezing17:07
chrisccoulsonbut that's a kernel bug17:07
seb128ok17:07
seb128how did you turn plymouth off?17:07
chrisccoulsoni just have to be careful not to shut the lid17:07
chrisccoulsonseb128 - i just completely uninstalled plymouth for now ;)17:07

baptistemmif someone is interested to sponsor my updates: bluez, libvte and gnome-terminal20:02
seb128_did you subscribe the sponsor team?20:03
seb128_there is a distro sprint this week and people are probably busy using the sprint time for things which benefit from being there20:04
seb128_sponsoring can wait next week20:04
chrisccoulsoni would sponsor gnome-terminal, but i can only do that if somebody does vte first ;)20:06
baptistemmseb128_, okay20:07
pittikenvandine: lp:ubuntu/ido works now; can you remove your original branch, to avoid confusion?20:10
pittichrisccoulson: I'll look at the g-p-m update, ok with you?20:58
chrisccoulsonpitti - no worries. i was going to do that at some point, but feel free if you have time20:59
chrisccoulsoni'm currently battling with gnome-system-tools20:59
pittidoing then, thanks21:00
chrisccoulsonwhich i'm failing miserably with :(21:00
chrisccoulsonpitti - i'm trying to update gnome-system-tools / liboobs / system-tools-backends21:19
chrisccoulsons-t-b needs libauthen-pam-perl though, which is in universe :(21:19
pittisounds harmless enough21:19
chrisccoulsonpitti - ok, that's good then. i'll work on a MIR for that21:20
itorreydjsiegel1: I'm working on the renkoo port and have a version using some of the new webkit css stuff and I was wondering if that's ok or if I should stick to image based version like I had before?21:29
chrisccoulsonpitti - thanks for doing gpm :)21:39
seb128_chrisccoulson, do you still have the overshoot notify-osd g-s-d bug on your todolist?22:16
seb128_ie it doesn't trigger the effect when being over a limit22:16
chrisccoulsonseb128_ - yeah, that's next on my todo list22:16
seb128_ok thanks22:16
chrisccoulsoni was hoping to have it done today, buy g-s-t took up my entire afternoon22:17
rickspencer3being in #ubuntu-desktop during a sprint is pretty pointless I guess :/23:08
NafaiIt has been pretty quiet this week :/23:09
pittirickspencer3: oh, in the train already?23:09
rickspencer3hiya Nafai I hear you got some nice ayatana patches done23:10
rickspencer3pitti, yeah, rolling along23:10
Nafairickspencer3, Yeah, working on it23:15
chrisccoulsonhey rickspencer3, did you have a good week?23:15
didrockspitti: wifi in the sauna is great, isn't? :)23:16
rickspencer3chrisccoulson, yeah I think so23:20
rickspencer3didrocks, do you actually believe I am on a train?23:21
didrocksrickspencer3: heh, just out of the door, right? ;)23:21
rickspencer3pitti, didrocks, seb128_, etc... maybe a blog posting on all the cool things we got done this week?23:21
rickspencer3thoughts?23:21
rickspencer3kenvandine, too23:21
rickspencer31. SFTS end to end23:21
didrocksshould be cool :)23:21
rickspencer32. new gwibber microbloging control23:22
rickspencer33. how much time did we shave from boot speed23:22
NafaiWhat's SFTS?23:22
rickspencer3Social From the Start23:22
rickspencer3Nafai it's one of our key blueprints for Lucid23:22
rickspencer3Gwibber integrated into the desktop23:23
rickspencer3what else?23:23
* rickspencer3 rubs chin thoughtfully23:23
chrisccoulsonit seems like you've had an exciting week :)23:24
djsiegel1itorrey: I don't know23:25
rickspencer3chrisccoulson, kinda23:25
djsiegel1itorrey: you'll just have to test23:25
djsiegel1itorrey: if it works, go for it! :)23:25
rickspencer3but mostly at night in the hotel bar I suppose23:25
rickspencer3pitti how much time did you and seb128_ shave from startup time?23:28
* pitti looks23:28
pittirickspencer3: this week, or since karmic?23:28
rickspencer34. new compiz effects23:28
rickspencer3pitti this week23:28
seb128_rickspencer3, not easy to say, we should do an end of week chart23:28
pittihttp://people.canonical.com/~pitti/bootcharts/daniel-lucid-20100129-1.png23:28
pittivs.23:29
rickspencer3seb128_, about? .5 seconds maybe?23:29
pittihttp://people.canonical.com/~pitti/bootcharts/daniel-lucid-20100205-1.png23:29
kenvandinerickspencer3, i'll blog today about SFTS23:29
kenvandinewith the video :)23:29
rickspencer3kenvandine, don't worry, I won't steal your thunder ;)23:29
kenvandinerickspencer3, not worried... just hate putting stuff off :)23:29
rickspencer3I'll just add "good progress on SFTS" to the list :)23:29
rickspencer3kenvandine, anything else goo?23:30
rickspencer3good, even?23:30
kenvandinei think that is it23:30
rickspencer3Like, tons of new indicator stuff got uploaded, right?23:30
kenvandineyeah23:30
kenvandinebut not much you can see23:30
kenvandineindicator-me23:30
kenvandinewhich is sfts23:30
kenvandinenext week we will get indicator-sound23:30
kenvandinewhich uses the new slider widget23:30
rickspencer3pitti you and seb128_ shaved 4+ seconds this week?23:31
pittirickspencer3: no, the charts are quite misleading23:31
pittirickspencer3: plymouth worked aroudn the kernel bug, but now the desktop startup is slowed down by the I/O overhead of that kernel bug, and so on23:31
seb128_rickspencer3, no, the new one doesn't have this 5 seconds usb linux delay23:31
kenvandinerickspencer3, oh... the new libindicate package includes timestamps which should really make windows get focus23:32
rickspencer3so, like .5 seconds or so?23:32
kenvandinei think that is awesome :)23:32
kenvandinefinally23:32
pittirickspencer3: we got .6 s from modem-manager, and some .3 s from the indicators23:32
rickspencer3.6 + .3 = .923:32
rickspencer3except in integer math, I suppose23:32
pittiindicators was ted's change, though23:32
pittirickspencer3: seb128 worked hard on nm-applet, this should land today23:32
rickspencer3chouette!23:33
didrocksrickspencer3: quickly-widgets and buhugger in universe too, don't forget that :)23:33
seb128_let's see around 1 second23:33
seb128_see -> say23:33
rickspencer3pitti bryceh so xorg seg fault handler working?23:33
rickspencer3that's a good one23:33
pittirickspencer3: yep23:33
rickspencer3bryceh, we're going with nouveu for lucid, right?23:34
rickspencer3pitti no mdz freeze handler though?23:34
pittirickspencer3: if you count from desktop start to the end of mutter, it's a little less than a second indeed23:34
pittirickspencer3: right, we didn't get to that; we don't know how to reproduce23:34
pittibryceh: ^23:34
rickspencer3*sigh*23:35
rickspencer3pitti sorry, but I don't have the new link for the burn down chart handy, can you paste it to me?23:35
pittihttp://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/canonical-desktop-team-lucid-alpha-3.html23:36
pittirickspencer3: that one?23:36
rickspencer3yes23:36
rickspencer3I still had the macaroni one in my history :/23:36
rickspencer3just barely over the trend line :/23:36
rickspencer3ccheney, what's the status of the libsoup glib back port?23:38
pittirickspencer3: we actually moved closer to the trend line this week, good progress23:39
rickspencer3pitti yup23:39
rickspencer3seb128_, I see there are two more work items for compiz settings, writing the restore scripts, I assume you haven't gotten to those yet?23:40
seb128_rickspencer3, not really but we have a sort of disagreement there23:40
seb128_rickspencer3, it's easy to do but some of us think that changing user config on upgrade is against the golden rule23:41
rickspencer3seb128_, I thought we had decided this at the design sprint before UDS23:41
seb128_ok, will do then23:42
seb128_pitti seemed to disagree this week23:42
seb128_so I put it on hold23:42
rickspencer3that we would create the backup because we couldn't respect tweaked settings23:42
seb128_and I forgot to raise it for discussion again23:42
seb128_right23:42
rickspencer3seb128_, sure, no problem23:42
rickspencer3pitti you strongly disagree with this approach?23:42
rickspencer3perhaps a release note for a3 will be in order23:43
rickspencer3(Lucid will replace your compiz settings)23:43
seb128_rickspencer3, he's in discussion with xorg guys right now23:44
rickspencer3seb128_, sure, no rush23:45
rickspencer3can wait until next week23:45
seb128_in any case to reply to your question, no that didn't get done23:45
seb128_in any case to reply to your question, no that didn't get done this week23:45
seb128_ups23:45
rickspencer3:)23:45
rickspencer3thanks seb128_23:45
seb128_we managed to destroy a mini too23:46
seb128_if you want to mention that ;-)23:46
rickspencer3lol23:46
chrisccoulsonseb128_, what did you do to it?23:46
rickspencer3seb128_, wasn't it more that you drove it to suicide?23:46
seb128_chrisccoulson, I tried to turn it on23:46
chrisccoulsonseb128_ - i thought you were going to say you spilt beer on it in the bar or something ;)23:46
seb128_rickspencer3, yeah, that what french do23:47
seb128_rickspencer3, he though it was not payed enough to boot in 10 seconds and went on strike23:47
seb128_;-)23:47
rickspencer3:)23:47
seb128_chrisccoulson, no, would I've been a better reason though!23:47
seb128_it frozen during a dist-upgrade23:47
seb128_and now it beeps at the bios post when turned on...23:48
seb128_the error code is a timer reset according to google23:48
seb128_but it doesn't turn on screen or boot23:48
seb128_I'm going to send it back next week I guess23:48
chrisccoulsonthat doesn't sound very good then ;)23:48
seb128_I will call dell support first23:48
seb128_indeed23:48
seb128_luckily I had my laptop too with me23:49
itorrey_testdjsiegel1: Ok, I reverted to images since it's more well tested. I am doing some testing now and I'll upload my code soon23:50
itorrey_testRipped out the old fader code and am using webkit's transitions so it's much smoother and should be faster23:50
chrisccoulsonseb128_ - i'll work on this g-s-d notification overshoot stuff over the weekend now. i can't do much more tonight, as we've got family sleeping over in our spare room with my desktop, which has still got all my work on23:57
chrisccoulsoni'll have to copy everything on to the laptop tomorrow23:57
