RAOFLike a fox.00:00
rickspencer3ready like a fox?00:00
RAOFExactly.00:00
rickspencer3fair enough00:00
rickspencer3https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Meeting/2010-05-2500:01
rickspencer3it was a short main meeting00:01
rickspencer3want to skim over the logs and let me know when you're done?00:02
robert_ancellready00:02
TheMusoback00:02
* TheMuso reads00:02
robert_ancelldone00:03
TheMusodone00:04
RAOFDone00:04
rickspencer3nice00:04
rickspencer3ok00:04
rickspencer3let's rocket through then00:04
rickspencer3for partner update, there is some ambiguity regarding exactly what the Dx team plans to do for A200:05
rickspencer3kenvandine will take care of that00:05
rickspencer3Kubuntu is locked and loaded, awaiting IS to update the branding on Kubuntu.org00:05
* bryceh waves00:05
rickspencer3hi bryceh o/00:06
RAOFbryceh: Meeting junkie?  I see you were at the !Eastern edition, too :)00:06
rickspencer3so, your self assesment is due today, and you have to pick people for peer assements today00:06
TheMusoreview stuff so far as what needs done is done from my POV.00:07
brycehRAOF, nah just looking for respite from writing launchpad test cases <gaaahh>00:07
rickspencer3TheMuso, you've done your self-assement and invited peer reviewers?00:07
robert_ancellrickspencer3, how many/how do we pick peers?00:07
TheMusorickspencer3: yes00:07
rickspencer3robert_ancell, uh, there is an "invite peers" button, or similar00:08
rickspencer3invite at least 3, I would say00:08
robert_ancellrickspencer3, ok00:08
rickspencer3I find it suspicious when people only have 1 or 200:08
rickspencer3RAOF, none of this applies to you, I guess00:08
rickspencer3so release status ...00:08
RAOFExcept for next time, I guess00:08
rickspencer3seb128 believes that have all of our work items identified00:09
rickspencer3are there any blueprints that aren't showing up on A2 page, but that should be?00:09
rickspencer3http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/canonical-desktop-team-maverick-alpha-2.html00:09
rickspencer3I guess I needed some kind of time out or terminator on that question00:10
robert_ancellhmm, I'm not on the asignee list00:11
rickspencer3robert_ancell, do  you have any specs targeted for A2?00:11
robert_ancellno, they're all just general maverick work items00:12
robert_ancellthat would be it00:12
rickspencer3you are on this list:00:12
dado55i need help with ubuntu install, can anyone help?00:12
rickspencer3http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/workitems/maverick/canonical-desktop-team.html00:12
rickspencer3hi dado5500:12
rickspencer3this channel is typically for developers as we work on Ubuntu00:12
rickspencer3support is usually provided in #ubuntu00:12
rickspencer3though you are welcome to hang out here00:13
rickspencer3we are actually in a meeting atm00:13
rickspencer3(unless you had a question about developing the installer, then you are in the right place)00:13
rickspencer3so, moving on, robert_ancell, TheMuso, RAOF, the A2 work item list looks complete to you00:14
rickspencer3?00:14
RAOFYes.00:14
TheMusorickspencer3: yep00:14
rickspencer3ok00:14
dado55i trying install ubuntu 10.04 and on the first screen on boot when dots show progress, no the screen is freeze00:14
rickspencer3dado55, yah, so that's a good question for #ubuntu, but we aren't really equiped to help you with that here00:15
rickspencer3we are working on 10.1000:15
rickspencer3so, moving on00:15
rickspencer3I installed Parley last night00:15
rickspencer3it's a useful Qt app, but it looks terrible on the desktop wrt integration00:15
rickspencer3I would like us to work on making Qt apps look at home in Ubuntu00:16
rickspencer3we agreed in the main meeting this would be a good A3 goal00:16
rickspencer3if anyone is happy to pick this up sooner, that would be sweet00:16
TheMusoAre there any GTK/QT bits that can do that for us?00:16
DASPRiDTheMuso, 1000100 <-- those i think00:17
rickspencer3very funny DASPRiD00:17
RAOFI know there's a native-qt-look-on-gtk engine and I think there's the reverse, too.00:17
DASPRiDrickspencer3, i try to do my best00:17
TheMusoRAOF: ah ok, thats what I thought.00:17
rickspencer3RAOF, I think the Gtk on KDE engine was dropped because it was too buggy and unmaintained00:17
rickspencer3anyway, if you get a moment, feel free to look into it00:18
rickspencer3if there is no volunteer, someone will have to get voluntold for A300:18
rickspencer3:P00:18
RAOFOooh!  And I remember a bug in the qt-on-gtk engine that would eat spreadsheets :)00:18
RAOFIt sounds fun, but… :)00:18
rickspencer3hehe00:18
rickspencer3ok00:18
rickspencer3any other business?00:18
robert_ancellnot from me00:19
RAOFNor me.00:19
TheMusonope00:19
rickspencer3alrighty then00:20
rickspencer3thanks guys00:20
rickspencer3and nice job turning around UDS discussions into plans00:20
rickspencer3I hope we'll be burning down work items today!00:20
RAOFExcellent.  This meeting was almost exactly 1 standard mesa build in length :)00:22
brycehbe glad you don't have to write test cases for each work item :-)00:22
brycehRAOF, how is X treating you so far?00:22
TheMusobryceh: quiet. We don't want to give management any more ideas now.00:22
RAOFbryceh: Not too badly.  There's a lot of mail, and things take too long to build, though :)00:23
* bryceh nods00:25
brycehmesa is a beast00:25
RAOFIt doesn't help that we build it 5 times :)00:25
rickspencer3YokoZar, hi00:27
rickspencer3I see you volunteered to write a chapter for the Ubuntu Developer Manual00:28
rickspencer3https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/10.10/DeveloperManual00:28
rickspencer3writing to files, urllib2 both need authors, if you are interested in either of those00:29
rickspencer3thoughts?00:29
rickspencer3errand, biab00:35
robert_ancellRiddell, can you refer to me where an upstream tarball should not contain a PDF00:44
Riddellrobert_ancell: http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines #200:49
robert_ancelland?00:50
robert_ancellRiddell, I see no conflict00:51
Riddellit's not preferred modifiable form, thus not free as in free software00:52
robert_ancellRiddell, what are you talking about?  There is nothing in that document stating that a file cannot be a PDF00:53
RAOFIs the PDF built from a source file?  People generally don't edit PDFs.00:54
Riddellis a PDF preferred modifiable form?  no, you don't edit PDFs (except through hacky means) you edit it as a ODF or a .doc or a text file or whatever00:55
robert_ancellRiddell, the link you gave me has no reference to "preferred modifiable form"00:55
Riddell"source code" is the equivalent there00:56
robert_ancellSince when is a license file a piece of source code?00:56
robert_ancellAnd even if it is, PDF is a documented standard.00:56
Riddellwe have lots of things in the archive which are not source code, regardless we require them to be free as in freedom and require the prefered modifiable form00:57
Riddellimages, documentation, anything00:57
Riddella standard isn't relevant here, it's not how you edit it00:58
robert_ancellRiddell, even if this is true, and I strongly disagree with your interpretation here, you have rejected this package again - the reason given that the file is in the *source tarball*.  Are you saying we should modify every source tarball to remove all PDFs?01:00
Riddellyes, unless they are accompanied by their preferred modifiable form01:01
robert_ancellRiddell, even if the debian/ patch contains the file in the "preferred modifiable form"01:01
Riddellwelcome to the world of archive admin pain, see https://wiki.kubuntu.org/ArchiveAdministration#NEW handling01:02
Riddellif the packaging contained the preferred modifiable form I think that would be acceptable01:02
robert_ancellRiddell, which is exactly what I did at your request01:03
Riddellthen what are we arguing about?  just point out my oversight and we're sorted :)01:06
robert_ancellRiddell, ok, re-uploading.  Thanks :)01:08
robert_ancellfor the record, this policy is just wrong from a technical/legal/logical standpoint01:08
YokoZarrickspencer3: I'll do the files part01:09
rickspencer3kewl!01:09
rickspencer3YokoZar, adding you to the wiki, I'm creating a team too, will add you there01:09
rickspencer3one step ahead of me, I see01:10
YokoZarrickspencer3: also I noticed the launchpad/bzr section doesn't have an author, although you might want to delay that section a bit till you're confident how groundcontrol is gonna look01:10
YokoZaror get martin owens to just right it straight up01:10
rickspencer3I don't think I'm going for ground control01:10
YokoZar*write01:11
YokoZarFair enough01:11
rickspencer3it doesn't seem focused enough yet01:11
rickspencer3but when it's ready, we'll pull it in01:11
robert_ancellRiddell, thanks!01:26
rickspencer3I love that I can add people to a team without asking them01:27
lifelesssir spamalot :)01:42
TheMusorobert_ancell: gconf builds for me now, uploading.02:53
robert_ancellTheMuso, cool, thanks02:57

emeitnerTo any folks out there who have multi-user desktop systems: please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/40011 and add a confirmation or two to this bug if it affects you. This one is pretty serious yet does not get attention because most Ubuntu systems are single-user machines. Thanks.04:12

pittiGood morning07:27
RAOFHi, ho, pitti!07:30
didrocksgood morning pitti, RAOF08:05
robert_ancellTheMuso, you still here?08:21
robert_ancelldidrocks, hey, how is evolution going?08:21
didrocksgood morning robert_ancell08:21
TheMusorobert_ancell: yep08:21
didrocksrobert_ancell: all is merged (apart from evolution-mapi)08:21
didrocksrobert_ancell: it's working pretty well, but there are still some annoying crashers08:22
robert_ancelldidrocks, was that version 2.30 or 2.3108:22
robert_ancell?08:22
robert_ancellTheMuso, can you sponsor a new launchpad-integration?08:22
didrocksrobert_ancell: 2.30, it was already a big jump :)08:22
TheMusorobert_ancell: Sure.08:22
didrocksrobert_ancell: so, if you want to investigate 2.31 (if we want to update to the new version), do not hesitate08:23
robert_ancelldidrocks, nah, the less evolution I look at the better :)08:23
didrocksI think we should also revisit the plugin seperation between -plugin and -plugin-experimental to follow upstream08:23
didrocksbut I don't have the time to do that right now08:23
didrocksrobert_ancell: heh, I agree. It gave me quite headaches :)08:23
robert_ancelldidrocks, just ran it now - tehe welcome screen doesn't fit on a netbook :/08:23
didrocksrobert_ancell: yeah, that's not new :)08:24
TheMusorobert_ancell: let me know when its ready08:24
robert_ancellTheMuso, ready now08:24
TheMusorobert_ancell: ok will do08:24
robert_ancellTheMuso, thanks08:24
didrocksrobert_ancell: after talking to seb128, we removed some OEM patch as they have to transition them to gtkbuilder from bonobo08:24
robert_ancellMaverick is slowly starting to look different to Lucid...08:24
didrocksright :)08:25
robert_ancelldidrocks, right, do you know if upstream is interested in those sorts of patches?08:25
didrocksyou can't create some vapi file for instance :)08:25
robert_ancelldidrocks, vapi?08:25
didrocksrobert_ancell: I guess those patch were report some years ago08:25
didrocksvapi is the vala introspection file08:26
didrocksnew gobject-introspection generate new .gir file format08:26
didrocksand the vapigen which transforms .gir in .vapi doesn't work anymore08:26
robert_ancelldidrocks, ok, I've lost you, are we still talking about evolution?08:26
robert_ancelldidrocks, oh, is that broken in maverick?08:26
didrocksrobert_ancell: no no, I was just reacting from "Maverick is slowly starting to look different to Lucid"08:26
didrocksright08:27
didrocksthat's pretty annoying and a lot of work, apparently08:27
robert_ancellTheMuso, whoops, can you hold lpi for a second08:27
TheMusorobert_ancell: sure08:28
robert_ancellTheMuso, I forgot to bump the version number in configure.ac.  I notice that seb128 forgot last release too :)08:28
robert_ancellTheMuso, pushed now08:28
TheMusothanks08:28
robert_ancellnew shotwell almost ready...08:29
didrocksrobert_ancell: great \o/08:29
didrocksrobert_ancell: oh btw, I had a lot at a multimedia store in the touchscreen with window7 embedded08:29
didrocksrobert_ancell: I tried some game like freecell and I must say that they look pretty shiny08:29
robert_ancelldidrocks, what device was that?08:30
didrockswe are clearly late in this regard08:30
didrocksrobert_ancell: hum, some acer screen+computer in one device, sorry don't remember the name08:30
didrocksbut I think we can do some cool effect in using clutter in gnome-games08:31
robert_ancellyeah, and the open-source app developers aren't going to make good apps until they have some real hardware08:31
didrockswell, the touch isn't to blocker there08:31
didrocksbut the fancy graphics first08:31
didrocksfor instance, when you select a card08:31
didrocksyou have a glossy effect around it08:31
didrockswhen you move it, the card behind flips08:31
didrockswell, I think it's not a lot to do if we try to use clutter08:32
didrocksdo you know where the clutter port is for gnome-games?08:32
robert_ancellyeah, the platform is holding people back there.  when clutter/vala/seed are easier to use this will start to happen08:32
didrocks(I remember some demo with quadrapassel)08:32
robert_ancellquadrapassel is clutter now, lightsoff is a new clutter game, same-gnome was rewritten with clutter08:32
robert_ancellI think aisleriot can be consitionally compiled with clutter support08:33
didrocksrobert_ancell: I don't see some shiny effect in quadrapassel :)08:33
robert_ancellafaik there is no push to migrate any other games at this time08:33
robert_ancelldidrocks, the effects are low by default due to performance (change theme in preferences)08:34
RAOFquadrapassel has shiny effects - the blocks explode when disappearing!08:34
didrockslet me have a try08:34
robert_ancellbut they could be better - we need some artists to go over gnome games and make that stuff08:35
didrocksrobert_ancell: ok, seeing what you tell, I was thinking about that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US5BhxJSV2I08:36
robert_ancelldidrocks, oh, that is much cooler08:37
didrocksrobert_ancell: yeah ;)08:37
robert_ancellI'll have to see how much work that would take to finish...08:37
didrocksnot sure where is robert carr branch08:37
didrockssweet :)08:38
didrocksthat's pretty ackward all the hard part of managing the game is already done, it's just now some layout details to make them "fresh" :)08:38
didrocksif only I had more time…08:39
robert_ancelldidrocks, you don't need to sleep right?08:39
didrocksrobert_ancell: that's what I try to tell to my body, but it clearly disagree :)08:39
didrocksrobert_ancell: my plan for this week is to finish my GNOME merges btw (it's modest as I've plenty of other stuff to do, ETOOMUCHTODO :))08:47
robert_ancelldidrocks, I know that error code.  I'm working my way through the base packages which is slow, expect to speed up once get to the applications08:49
robert_ancelldconf tomorrow hopefully...08:49
didrockssweet, that will rock!08:49
TheMusorobert_ancell: still test building launchpad-integratino, the install part of the build with dpkg takes quite a while when there is a lot of packages as build deps. :)08:59
TheMusorobert_ancell: launchpad-integration uploaded.09:01
TheMusoand EOD for me.09:01
seb128hey09:03
robert_ancellTheMuso, and me too :)09:10
robert_ancellTheMuso, thanks09:10
robert_ancellbye09:10
hyperairseb128: GNOME microreleases get uploaded into -proposed, right? what is the procedure for that? the same as the normal SRU procedures, or is there something different?09:18
seb128normal sru yes09:19
seb128is there any update you want to work on?09:19
didrocksgood morning seb12809:19
seb128lut didrocks09:19
hyperairseb128: yeah, banshee 1.6.109:19
seb128it's not a GNOME component09:20
hyperairseb128: but it follows the GNOME release schedule.09:20
hyperairi think we've been through this before.09:20
seb128still not a GNOME component09:20
seb128they are doing it for half a cycle now09:20
hyperairyes it isn't a GNOME component. i was just wondering whether it was different for GNOME components.09:20
hyperairhalf a cycle?09:20
seb128they didn't prove anything in regard of their ability to respect freezes for documentation, strings, etc09:20
seb128since when are they aligned on GNOME schedule?09:21
hyperairer.. some months back.09:21
seb128half a cycle09:21
hyperairah09:21
seb128it's nice they are using the GNOME schedule now09:22
seb128but they don't have any of the GNOME team making sure they don't break any freeze, change strings, etc09:22
seb128they probably do fine but for now we want to check as for any SRU09:22
hyperaircheck how?09:22
seb128translators are not going to complain at them if they break the GNOME string freeze since they are not part of GNOME09:23
seb128they are aligned on GNOME but not officially part of GNOME so don't get the checking other components get and they are free to break freezes they decided on if they want09:23
hyperairi see.09:24
seb128but in practice that makes very few difference09:24
hyperairmeaning, if i wanted to get 1.6.1 into lucid-updates, what would i need to do?09:25
seb128do the update as for any sru09:25
seb128add the debdiff to the bug09:25
seb128somebody from ubuntu-sru will review it09:25
hyperairokay, will do, thanks.09:26
seb128you're welcome09:26

seb128slomo, do you know when it has been deprecated?10:19
seb128lamemp3enc is there for how many versions?10:19
seb128didrocks, could you do the gtk-doc merge on debian?10:41
didrocksseb128: finishing the evince one and can get this one on top of priority if you wish :)10:42
seb128didrocks, thanks10:42
seb128didrocks, some sources are depwaiting on the new revision10:42
didrocksseb128: ok, will do today :)10:42
seb128thanks10:42
didrocksyou're welcome10:42
slomoseb128: .13 or .12 i think11:13
slomoseb128: docs say .1211:14
didrockshum, I'm stuck with a merge of package. I tried a lot of workaround without any solution :/11:59
didrocksfor evince, we split the package with libevdocument2 and libevview2, libevview2 depending on libevdocument211:59
didrocksdebian created a libevince2 containing the two packages.11:59
didrocksI was thinking that might work, but apparently dpkg is silly? or is it me? http://paste.ubuntu.com/439829/12:00
didrocks(I have even changed the order of libevdocument2 and libevview2 to list libevdocument2 first as provides:)12:00
=== DrPepperKid is now known as MacSlow|lunch
slomodidrocks: you can't provide versions12:26
didrocksslomo: Provides: libevdocument2, libevview2 I don't provide any version12:26
slomodidrocks: if something Depends: libevview2 (>= 1.2.3) and something else Provides exactly that, dpkg still won't install it12:26
didrocksoh ok, so I have to remove the version dep on Conflicts/replace?12:27
slomono, unfixable without a transitional package12:27
slomoyou can't depend with a version on a virtual package12:27
didrocksslomo: ok, I will provide a transitional package for that then. Thanks!12:28
seb128didrocks, don't take the debian split12:28
seb128I've kept the 2 libraries on purpose previous cycle12:29
seb128there is no garanty the soname will stay the same12:29
seb128what debian is doing there is stupid12:29
didrocksseb128: really? I was just thinking my split was bad12:29
didrocksseb128: ok, that's easier so (but more work for now to remerge)12:29
seb128don't remerge if that's worth it12:30
seb128ie if debian has nothing really interesting the get for us and there is too much diff that's worth the work12:30
didrocksseb128: well, there is an additional -common package, I just need to tweak again the library, not a lof of work, can do now that the merge is almost done12:31
seb128we stopped merging some of the things we have over cycles12:31
seb128ok12:31
didrocksseb128: I just talked to pochu and debian will take the same split (I'll commit that this week-end). Finishing my first merge now12:48
seb128didrocks, nice, thanks13:04
seb128robert_ancell, hey13:04
seb128robert_ancell, how are you?13:05
seb128robert_ancell, great work on maverick updates for the platform btw!13:05
seb128robert_ancell, do you work on pygi or dconf now?13:05

seb128when is the next meeting to review applications?13:09
robert_ancellI just missed the last one, the page hadn't updated with the next date when I checked13:10
seb128ok13:10
robert_ancellI still need one more endorsement13:10
robert_ancell(now is your last chance everyone to unendorse me :))13:11
seb128who did you get so far? me, pitti, ..?13:11

robert_ancelldidrocks, ...13:13

didrocksrobert_ancell: ahah :)13:14
seb128pgraner, define expert? ;-)13:14
seb128pgraner, I've been packaging it and talking to upstream for some years13:15
pgranerseb128: evo keeps segfaulting when I click on mail13:15
pgranerseb128: on Maverick13:15
seb128pgraner, didrocks did the new version merges in maverick recently13:15
seb128pgraner, can you get a stacktrace of the crash?13:15
seb128pgraner, what version do you have installed?13:15
ograpgraner, you run maverick before alpha2 ? you are insane !!13:15
pgranerseb128: not sure the best way to debug this13:16

milanbvseb128: is the plan to remove the gnome-system-tools completely in Maverick?13:27
milanbvI'm wondering because shares-admin is completely broken in Lucid, but it might not be worth a proper fix if it goes away - a hack would do13:28
seb128not removing but stop installing it by default13:28
milanbvOK13:29
seb128since there is the new user account dialog project now13:29
milanbvso we need to do something about it13:29
seb128it means almost all gst uses are covered by other compoents now13:29
milanbvyeah - not sure it supports adduser ATM but it should be nice13:29
milanbvshares-admin is the only tool left, there's no real equivalent13:29

pgranerseb128: well turning off plain text didn't fix it, I'll have to go back to mutt until its resolved, it crashes on every other email I click on :-/13:30
milanbvyes, but to manage many shares...13:30
milanbvshares-admin provides a central place, configuring NFS and Samba13:30
seb128pgraner, weird, did you restart evo?13:30
pgranerseb128: yep 3 times13:30

seb128I guess somebody need to review our changes on side compiz sources13:46
seb128compiz itself has quite some changes over debian13:46
seb128but like gconf, ccsm, etc should be syncable at some stage13:46
mvoseb128: I have not checked, but yes, the more the merrier. debian is pretty open to us helping13:48
mvoseb128: I think in the longer run we want a model like xorg where we use the same git(!) branch13:48
mvoseb128: but I have not done any work yet to check what it would take, but probably not that much13:49
seb128ok13:49
TheMusomvo: I am looking at doing that for audio as well, since upstrea is all git, and Debian needs help with audio, and it makes merging etc easier.13:56
mvoTheMuso: cool, I don't like git, but maybe its time to overcome this aversion :)13:57
mvoTheMuso: btw, did you see the mail from arne? I was wondering how well drag-n-drop works with accessibility. the background is the new language-selector that uses d-n-d to order language-preferences13:58
TheMusomvo: I must admit the more I use git, the more I like it, but I am still fine with using bzr.13:58
TheMusomvo: I saw that, but will respond tomorrow in work time. What is drag and drop used for?13:58
mvoTheMuso: maybe I'm just burned with some early git versions13:58
mvoTheMuso: its used to reorder language preferences13:59
mvoTheMuso: so if you choice is "german, dutch, english" you can use dnd to order it13:59
mvoTheMuso: but tomorrow is fine, its not urgent :)13:59
TheMusomvo: Right, straight out I think we need buttons to move options up/down. Drag and drop is not really possible so far as I know with accessibility tools13:59
mvoTheMuso: if its a problem we have the whole cycle to fix it13:59
mvoTheMuso: ok, thanks. I wait for the mail, but I think its important to fix that then14:00
