shadeslayer_btw does konqueror ship apturl support by default or did we patch that part in?00:28
ScottKWe patch it in00:33
shadeslayer_ScottK: which patch is that?00:35
shadeslayer_ScottK: im working on getting that feature in rekonq ;)00:36
ScottKshadeslayer_: No idea.  It'll be in kdebase.  I just know it's a distro specific feature.00:36
shadeslayer_ScottK: hmm.. well i checked kdebase,couldnt find it there00:36
shadeslayer_ScottK: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members/kdebase/ubuntu/files/head:/debian/patches/00:36
ScottKMaybe kde4libs then.00:37
shadeslayer_nope00:38
shadeslayer_ScottK: ^00:39
ScottKI'd guess workspace or runtime next then.00:39
shadeslayer_i think workspace.. but im checking it out00:41
shadeslayer_uh.. nope00:41
shadeslayer_ScottK: any idea who would know?00:41
ScottKNope.00:42
ScottKI'd guess Riddell or apachelogger, but no idea.00:42
shadeslayer_lex79: any idea where the patch for apturl support in konqueror resides ?00:42
lex79I never seen a patch for that in ours KDE packages00:44
lex79you should maybe looking at apturl-kde code00:44
shadeslayer_lex79: nothing there apart from some code...00:46
* shadeslayer_ thinks patch would be in kdebase00:47
shadeslayer_well if someone can point me to the patch,ill be really gratefull :)00:56
shadeslayer_going to sleep for now :)00:56
JontheEchidnaapturl is an external application that registers support for the apt:/ protocol01:27
JontheEchidnashadeslayer_, ScottK: ^01:27
JontheEchidnaso when you visit a apt:/ link, KDE's existing magic looks for the app registered for the protocol, no patching required01:28
ScottKOh.  Even better.01:40
shtylmanbleh... kde 4.5 feels sluggish on my nvidia card01:42
ScottKIf you use the whole machine and not just the video card, it'll probably go faster.01:45
shtylmanfunny ScottK01:46
ScottK;-)01:47
shtylmanwhy in the hell does kopete add "user is typing a message" to the notifications02:08
shtylmanwhat the hell02:08
shtylmanthese notifications are getting crazy02:08
shtylmanand useless02:08
macohahahaha02:09
lex79:D02:09
shtylmanseriously02:09
shtylmanwhat the hell02:09
shtylmanI can't even find where to turn this off02:10
shtylmanwho thought this would be a good idea?02:10
shtylmanI want to know02:10
lex79next step will be "you are moving the mouse"02:10
shtylmanyea02:10
shtylmanseriously...02:10
ScottKI recently started using kopete again after a long break from doing any IM at all and I agree about the notifications.02:11
lex79maybe kopete has a settings notification somewhere...I don't use it02:11
ScottKNot that I found.02:11
lex79settings -> configure notifications ?02:12
shtylmanlex79: yea02:12
shtylmanI basically disabled all the "show notification" ones02:12
lex79;)02:12
shtylmanit is retarded02:12
shtylmanwe need to disable some of those by default02:12
lex79yes we should02:13
apacheloggerScottK: http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/3274/08:06
apacheloggerScottK: IMHO this should be taken up with upstream, there is no rationale I can think of that would justify having such notifications on by default08:07

Riddellwho's Ernesto Ruge and do I want to be his friend?09:43
nigelbheh09:44
Riddellor indeed Robert Frießleben09:46
shadeslayer_JontheEchidna: ok well with rekonq it doesnt happen09:54
shadeslayer_JontheEchidna: so i think ill have to hard code that into rekonq :P09:54
shadeslayer_they have a different URL bar for stuff... when i type apt://rekonq,it googles that part09:55
apacheloggerRiddell: latter is one of the german kubuntu dudes, not sure about the former, though I seem to remember its name ^^09:55
* shadeslayer_ didnt know Riddell was on facebook09:55
apacheloggershadeslayer_: their code is broken, ought to be fixed :P09:55
apacheloggershadeslayer_: localhost:80 will not work either09:55
shadeslayer_apachelogger: hehe... im onto the apturl stuff tho :P09:56
shadeslayer_adjam gave me a few pointers last night09:56
apacheloggerthat is the wrong POV09:56
apacheloggerin KDE you implement once and use it a lot09:56
apacheloggerif you implement the url bar properly once you get free access to all protocols supported by KDE09:56
shadeslayer_apachelogger: which port is CUPS on?09:56
apachelogger*shrug*09:57
apachelogger600 something I think09:57
shadeslayer_apachelogger: btw whats on port 80?09:57
apachelogger638 is the web interface at least09:57
apachelogger80 == http09:57
apacheloggeryou can use any port and rekonq will fail for that matter09:57
Riddellshadeslayer_: too late. I just did my bi-monthly facebook login, you'll have to wait until I get enough friend requests to be annoyed enough to log in and accept some :)09:58
shadeslayer_apachelogger: nope,cups is on 631,seems to work :)09:59
shadeslayer_Riddell: lol.... same here...09:59
shadeslayer_hardly visit fb :p09:59
apacheloggershadeslayer_: if you just enter localhost:631?09:59
shadeslayer_yep09:59
apacheloggerthat is odd09:59
shadeslayer_apachelogger: git clone here10:00
apacheloggeroh maybe they worked around further to support that usecase10:00
* nigelb added Riddell :)10:00
shadeslayer_tho port 80 does not work10:00
apacheloggeronly 30000000 work arounds to go to reach feature equality with konqueror \o/10:00
apacheloggershadeslayer_: supposedly because you have no webserver running ;)10:00
shadeslayer_yeah :P10:01
apacheloggerif it cant find anything it will google I think10:01
shadeslayer_nope...10:01
shadeslayer_apachelogger: it shows a sor of 404 page10:01
shadeslayer_*sort10:01
apacheloggerwell, my ISP takes me to the lands of avalon if it cant resolve a name so I dont know10:02
apacheloggershadeslayer_: mind getting a snapshotty of the page?10:02
shadeslayer_apachelogger: http://imagebin.ca/view/Evfjqk.html10:02
apacheloggershadeslayer_: also, if that is the case then localhost:$PORT is still broken, since it behaes differently :P10:03
shadeslayer_hehe10:03
apacheloggerwell *shrug*10:03
shadeslayer_i dont have a webserver running,but cups is running fine,so i guess thats why i cant connect to 8010:04
* apachelogger does not get to such an error ^^10:04
apacheloggershadeslayer_: yep10:04
shadeslayer_apachelogger: which version?10:04
apacheloggerit is ISP related10:04
shadeslayer_apachelogger: so we dont patch in support for apturl.... hmm10:06
apacheloggera) if at all this ought to be done upstream10:06
apacheloggerb) it should be done properly and not hardcoded10:06
shadeslayer_hmm10:07
shadeslayer_apachelogger: btw by hard coding i meant adding another test case to the url bar ;)10:17
apacheloggerI know10:18

ScottKalf__: When you're doing builds of big packages like qt4-qws in asac's armel PPA, would you please consider setting the archictecture fields for the arch any binaries to the specific ones you care about (I'm guessing i386 amd64 armel) so that these builds don't take up buildd time on our slow architectures?14:45
alf__ScottK: Do you mean in the debian/control file?14:47
ScottKalf__: Yes.  Where is saya Architectecture: any, change it to Architecture: i386 amd64 armel.14:48
ScottKsaya/says.14:48
ScottKThat will reduce the impact your test builds have on the official archive.14:48
* ScottK is, of course, guessing you don't care about powerpc and ia64 (no one cares about sparc anymore, no guess there)14:49
JontheEchidnaMuon screenshot d'jour: http://simplest-image-hosting.net/i0-plasma-desktophd1494-jpg.jpg14:49
alf__ScottK: Ok, I'll keep that in mind, thanks (although I don't have access to asac's PPA)14:49
ScottKalf__: OK.  There was a recent qt4-qws upload there that had your name on it.14:50
JontheEchidna(new statusbar stuff ^.^)14:50
ulyssesJontheEchidna: great:)14:50
alf__alf__: I guessed asac just copied it from my own PPA, I 'll talk to him :)14:51
JontheEchidnaulysses: btw, are the strings easy to translate? Any strings that could benefit from added context?14:51
ulyssesJontheEchidna: yes, the context is very helpful (unlike some other KDE stuff:P)14:52
alf__ScottK: I guessed asac just copied it from my own PPA, I 'll talk to him :)14:52
asacScottK: you dont like me spinning qt4-qws in a ppa ;)?15:26
ScottKasac: Not at all.  I think it's great, it just that your PPA hits all the architectures and so it has a big impact on the slower architectures like powerpc and ia64.15:27
ScottKSince (I assume) you don't care about those archs, I was just suggesting don't build for them since they are slow enough already.15:27
asacScottK: ah. well. those are always behind. and we dont have a way to restrict ppas to just one architecture atm (but we are working on that) ... and i tried to be sensible as i didnt go for the trial and error approach :) ... we tested if the build fiinishes before that15:28
ScottKasac: If you change the Architecture field from "any" to "i386 amd64 armel" then Soyuz will do the right thing.15:29
asacScottK: i know but its not worth the effort ;)15:29
ScottKOK.  Didn't seem to me like editing debian/control was a lot of effort.15:29
asacthe unsupported ports are really behind anyway. one more or less doesnt matter that much ;) (at least thats my point)15:29
asacScottK: i did that for chromium when i needed to do a couple of trial/error builds15:29
ScottKIn general, I agree, but qt4-qws is a really long build.15:30
asachere i didnt consider it worth the effort15:30
ScottKOK15:30
ScottKIt was just a suggestion.15:30
asac... i just think we have different barriers where we start thinking about it ;)15:30

danttiapachelogger: hmm it's probably that, I'm on a debian machine now..18:45
bulldog98apachelogger: could be the copyright from 2000?18:45
apacheloggerwell18:45
ScottKdantti: Which release?18:45
apacheloggerdantti: dpkg -L update-manager-core18:45
danttiScottK: testing18:45
apacheloggerand python --version18:46
ScottKdantti: Try it with python2.6, not python18:46
apacheloggerbulldog98: I dunno upstream should this be working out really18:46
apacheloggerbulldog98: also the other icons have probably also be derived by someone else than upstream18:46
danttiapachelogger: http://pastebin.com/rzsvCmDP18:46
danttiPython 2.5.518:47
apacheloggerbulldog98: so what upstream needs to do is properly attribute the creator of the images, mention that the images are LGPL (+version) and add a complete copy of that lgpl version18:47
ScottKdantti: 2.5 is still default in testing, but 2.6 is default in Ubuntu.18:47
bulldog98apachelogger: ok so we have to wait for some upstream reaction 18:47
apacheloggerohm18:47
danttiScottK: what do I need to change here then? install py2.6?18:47
ScottK(It's also default in Sid, but that's not directly relevant)18:48
apacheloggerScottK, dantti: the package is bonkers18:48
apacheloggerMetaRelease.py(c) is not present18:48
bulldog98apachelogger: I wrote him about that issue18:48
apacheloggerso either debian fiddled it in some other package or does not have it at all or something18:48
shadeslayerapachelogger: hmm.. ive seen the examples but how do i add that info? where do i add it to?18:48
apacheloggershadeslayer: top of the patch18:48

shadeslayerapachelogger: 247 MB patch18:49
shadeslayerchromium now has kwallet support ;)18:50
apacheloggerdantti: it would appear so :P18:50

darthvader2pointDescription: An IP Messenger implementation for linux19:35
darthvader2pointaccording to best practise the synopsis should neither start with A or An nor feature particular upcasing (for stuff other than names)19:36
darthvader2pointi.e. IP messenger implementatin for Linux19:36
darthvader2pointor linux ... works too19:36
darthvader2point" based on TCP / IP (UDP)" so does it TCP/IP or UDP/IP or both? or what?19:37
darthvader2pointin particular it is also considered best praticse to not reuse the app name in its description again IIRC19:38
darthvader2point" for file/folder transfer  (version 2.00 and above),and supports communication "19:38
darthvader2pointwhitespace errors!19:38
darthvader2point+ that version 2.00 and above is rather uninteresting, what matters is if the current version does support it19:38
darthvader2pointlong description should probably be ended with a period19:38
darthvader2point" It can run on multiple platforms and does not require server support,support "19:39
darthvader2pointwhitespace errors!19:39
darthvader2point+ wording can be improved "support, support"???19:39
darthvader2pointin general I would rewrite the description :P19:39

* darthvader2point does not find it very descriptive at all19:39
shadeslayeri took it from their site19:39
darthvader2pointyeah, that is mostly a bad idea ^^19:40

CIA-99[libqapt] jmthomas * 1141949 * trunk/playground/libs/libqapt/ (CMakeLists.txt src/CMakeLists.txt src/backend.cpp) Libept broke API with version 1.0, and more importantly totally obliterated the Textsearch class. :/ Implement the xapian initialization ourselves, as well as a bit more xapian magics. No more libept dependency.22:25
apacheloggerScottK: and kdegames? ;)22:26
ScottKThere's the challenge.22:26
apacheloggerAlso one ought to think that a netbook edition could feature choqok and blogilo in future versions...22:26
apacheloggerClearly not the easiest of targets you have :)22:27
ScottKIf we can combine it though, that means netbook is available via shipit and we have a lot less ISO testing to do.22:27
* apachelogger rather sticks with his 400 times more efficient code for kdelibs ^^22:27
neversfeldehehe22:28
neversfeldeScottK: I think it would be great to have only one iso22:28
apacheloggerScottK: I do think that we should not use the CD as primary media anymore really.22:28
CIA-99[libqapt] jmthomas * 1141953 * trunk/playground/libs/libqapt/ (5 files in 3 dirs) Debconf-KDE support in qaptworker. \o/ Also implement a quick example in qapttest22:28
ScottKapachelogger: I think that's worth considering, but that's a larger question.22:28
neversfeldeprobably a warning about this via ubuntu-status on identi.ca would be great22:28
apacheloggerScottK: One we have to face at some point. Currently we are spending resources and user satisfaction (missing software/translations) for staying on CDs even though I am not sure our real target audience does/can appreciate that.22:30
ScottKapachelogger: Discussion for Maverick +1.22:30
apacheloggerThis of course leads to the problem that we still have no absolutely formal definition of our target audience, but that is another story ;)22:30
ScottKNot a bad discussion to start now though.22:31
neversfeldeas long as the users are warned about missing translations after they installed, I do not see a problem with this22:31
ScottKapachelogger: We did have some discussion about target audience in UDS.22:31
ScottKAlso image size matters for downloads too.  For some people a lot.22:32
apacheloggerneversfelde: Currently we try to fetch translations at installation ... so with the CD you currenlty might end up with an untranslated system22:32
apacheloggerneversfelde: e.g. when no intarwebs is available at installation22:32
JontheEchidnaEven if we move to DVDs, we wouldn't have to get too much higher than a GiB to provide a reasonable experience22:33
apacheloggerScottK: We would still maintain an alternate CD, just shift the default focus to DVD media.22:33
apacheloggerThe thing is... at least in Germany I am quite sure that most of the people whom we try to reach with Kubuntu will have first contact via a media distributed by an IT/Linux magazine.22:34
neversfeldeapachelogger:  I recently installed without a connection and after it, I was warned, that I need additional packages, that is fine for me. CDs do not have enough space for translations22:34
neversfeldeat least for all translations22:35
apacheloggerSo we probably want a translated live experience, we probably want it to come with all the cool awesome, we probably want it to be translated right after installation, despite if internet access was available/working at time of installation22:35
ScottKI22:36
neversfeldemhh22:36
ScottKUrgh.22:36
ScottKI've heard some loco teams respin Ubuntu ISOs for their language.22:36
apacheloggersome ... yet they will probably request shipit CDs and those will not be translated.22:37
neversfeldeapachelogger: we will always frustrate some users with an unstranslated live experience, because we cannot ship all languages. So the best solution from my point of view is that we make it as easy as possible to install the wanted language22:38
apacheloggerAlso we have to consider the time the locos put into this to essentially work around a shortcoming we willingly accept for having a CD.22:38
apacheloggerImage the other amazing things people could do if they were not busy doing a respin.22:39
apacheloggerThe amount of awesome that could come out of this...22:39
apacheloggerneversfelde: We can actually ship A LOT languages on a DVD ;)22:40
neversfeldeapachelogger: yes22:40
neversfeldebut we are talking about the CD or not?22:40
apacheloggerAlso if we come to devine the target audience as 20-30 year old tech savvy living in europe or NA22:40
apacheloggerthen it is perfeclty fine to not add any translation that does not match this profile22:41
apacheloggerCertainly people in Japan might want to use it too, but since we do not target them they will have to live with less ideal experience and we have to live with them possible not feeling too welcome in Kubuntu.22:41
apacheloggerneversfelde: we are talking going form CD to DVD22:42
apacheloggerneversfelde: For lucid I think we had en+de+fr+es on the CD (not sure about es actually).22:42
neversfeldeapachelogger: or having a CD without any translations and a DVD with all of them. For the long term, CDs will get outdated and we will switch to another medium.22:43
neversfeldemaybe DVD or everyone is using a usb stick22:44
apacheloggerIn my opinion this is nothing but a completely wrong attitude towards localiztion. If we really want to provide good experience for the target audience (granted that we currently do not have a defined target audience) then we should first say that we need the translations for de, fr, es, ru, da, and sv AND THEN add the other stuff that fits on the CD22:44
neversfeldemhh22:44
apacheloggerneversfelde: magazines do not come with USB sticks22:44
ScottKFor Lucid, the live seed has de es fr ru it xh and ship has de fr es it ru pt22:44
apacheloggerwhy are thos different?22:45
neversfeldeapachelogger: not yet. Have to think about it, I am not really sure if we need translated CDs22:45
apacheloggerneversfelde: we do not22:45
apacheloggerWe need a DVD that is primary distribution media with translations :P22:45
neversfeldemagazines could ship DVDs22:45
apacheloggermagazines do ship wiht DVDs22:45
neversfeldeand they already do22:46
apacheloggerin fact I cant think of any half-decent magazine that comes with a CD these days (well except for an ADDITIONAL CD to the DVD ;))22:46
apacheloggerAnyway.22:46
apacheloggerWe first need to properly lay out whom we are targetting with Kubuntu22:47
ScottKJFTR, on netbook-live we had de fr es ru it pt zh pl ja nl cs sv el hu22:47
apachelogger...and not just "some dude who is in his 30's and likes to use an easy KDE"22:47
ScottKapachelogger: We had a session on that at UDS.22:48
ScottKYou should come sometime...22:48
neversfeldehehe, I am in the 30's22:48
neversfeldeand I like using KDE22:48
* ScottK can vaguely recall his 30's...22:49
neversfeldewell, at least most of the time22:49
neversfeldehaha22:49
SIR_TacoCould you not make a program that you could inject your Locale files into and remove one you didn't want/need?22:49
CIA-99[libqapt] jmthomas * 1141960 * trunk/playground/libs/libqapt/src/CMakeLists.txt Link to xapian22:49
apacheloggerSIR_Taco: Sure if the target audience can, wants to and will do that.22:51
tsimpsonI do wish locales were more specific, there are 16 variants in the -en package which can take a while when initially generating locales22:51
SIR_Tacoapachelogger: True... but it could also be done server-side... once a combination has been done, the ISO would be stored and offered up with that combination22:52
CIA-99[libqapt] jmthomas * 1141964 * trunk/playground/libs/libqapt/src/CMakeLists.txt Don't link to QtGui or QtXml, not used.22:53
apacheloggerSIR_Taco: That requires the resources and very specific software. Also the way this software would have to look like and work is again dependent on the target audience.22:54
apacheloggerBecause compressing a livecd image for example is a quite heavy task AFAIK.22:54
JontheEchidna^not to mention the QA burden all the extra images would need (to make sure they work)22:55
apacheloggerwell, the software would just be switching stuff, not much that can go wrong there22:56
SIR_Tacoapachelogger: Yes, it can be quite expensive to alter a cd image.  JontheEchidna: That could also be an issue... just with potential problems with images22:56
SIR_Tacowhat about having a 'companion' CD, or disk, or file.... something you could put on a USB stick, or slip in during the install, to add your locale?22:58
apacheloggertarget audience dependent :P22:59
SIR_TacoI would suggest having a "download automatically" option... but with wireless being wide-spread, the 'average' user often has no idea how to set that one up :)22:59
SIR_Tacoapachelogger: everything is audience dpenedent :P23:00
apacheloggerWe cannot get to any answer on any of these questions without first defining whom we want to use Kubuntu primarily23:00
apacheloggerSIR_Taco: there is a downlaod automatically option23:00
SIR_Tacoapachelogger: Yes, but I wouldn't call it "user-friendly" lol23:00
apacheloggerit downloads?23:01
apacheloggerwhat is not userfriendly about that23:01
apacheloggeranyhow the thing is that sometimes the intarwebs does not work (broadcom?) or sometimes the user just cannot download that large junks of data (no flatrate) or might not have intarwebs at all (yes that is still possible :P)23:01
apacheloggerwhich basically renders that download feature completely useless23:02
SIR_TacoI'm saying that, if you're on a wired connection, it works great (for pretty much anyone). However, on wireless, with encryption, etc. a lot of users couldn't tell you how to set up their network again (after they have it set up to begin with.... with their brother 'Bob' doing it)23:03
apacheloggerMy point :P23:04
SIR_TacoAlso, with my install anyway, my settings that were punched in to get my wireless working during install.... they weren't retained after the fact23:04
apacheloggerThing is IMHO you should not have to download that junk anyway.23:04
apacheloggerMicrosoft can deploy Windows with some 14 languages or so and still squeeze in enough spyware to piss off every privacy lover.23:05
SIR_Tacohaha, that is true... but they don't ship MS Office with it do they?23:05
apacheloggerNo, OTOH OO.o is actually very small compared to MSOffice23:06
apacheloggerOO.o is no more than 100 MiB (including exclusive dependencies)23:06
SIR_TacoAs true as that is. There is limited software with Windows, in comparison23:09
apacheloggerWell, enough to fill up 10 GiB.23:09
SIR_TacoSorry, should have said "useful" and "ubloated" haha23:10
apacheloggeryeah :P23:10
SIR_TacoI'm sure I could make a 1Gig IRC client lol23:11
* apachelogger notes that we had a 50MiB IRC client at some point ;)23:11
JontheEchidnaaccidentally ;)23:12
SIR_TacoJontheEchidna: I would hope so haha23:12
JontheEchidnaYeah, they forgot to stop building quassel in debug mode, and released with the huge binary still in place23:12
SIR_Tacohaha, nice23:13
SIR_Tacoit does happen though23:13
JontheEchidnahttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/quassel/0.4.1-0ubuntu3/+build/92961923:14
apacheloggerWell, debug symbols are heavily compressed by LZMA, so in the end it made not much of a difference for the distribution itself. It just consumed 50 MiB in decompressed/installed state23:14
SIR_TacoJontheEchidna: That's a decent sized download, even when compressed (maybe not by todays standards, but still)23:17
JontheEchidnathat was a year ago. (Feels longer though) :)23:18
* apachelogger notes that quassel itself has grown smaller since then it seems23:19
JontheEchidnayeah, once the debug symbols were stripped ;)23:19
apacheloggerno in general23:20
SIR_TacoIt's often good to have someone pour through the code and trim it back a bit23:20
apacheloggerCompare the karmic sizes to the one in jaunty23:20
apacheloggerthey do not add up23:20
* lex79 wants kubuntu on blu ray23:21
apacheloggerwe could put the whole flippin archive on there23:22
apacheloggerthis would be super23:22
apacheloggerwell, actually 23:22
SIR_Taco3.6M to 2.8M.... not bad :)23:22
apacheloggerme@osiris:/media/Elements/Fluffy/repo/publish$ du -hs23:22
apachelogger20G     .23:22
apacheloggerno sources for bluray23:22
apacheloggermain+restricted binary+source is 20GiB it seems23:23
apacheloggerso universe+multiverse are probably like 40 or more23:23
SIR_Tacostill only 4-5 DVDs.... if you really wanted23:23
apacheloggerthat madness made asac leave ^^23:24
lex79lol23:24
SIR_Tacohaha23:24
lex79apachelogger: did you download all source packages in main+restricted?23:27
apacheloggerI do think so23:27
lex79how? :)23:27
apacheloggermagic script23:27
* apachelogger has a repo mirror ;)23:27
* apachelogger shall blog about this magic at some point23:28
apacheloggeractually I have the blog post halfway done or so23:28
lex79apachelogger: that script can also update the source packages if a new version is published in the archive?23:29
lex79:)23:29
apacheloggeraye23:30
lex79magic23:30
apacheloggerits a compete mirror23:30
lex79ah got it23:30
ScottKlex79: IIRC Debian ships blue ray images.23:35
* apachelogger kisses Nightrose goodnight and disappears under a blanket23:35
lex79really? I didn't know23:35
ScottKI'm not 100% is they are doing it or discussing doing it.23:36
Nightroseapachelogger: :*23:36
Nightrosegood night23:36
ScottKRiddell: Did you get a chance to fix plasma-mobile?23:37
ScottKKNM armel FTBFS is fixed in kdesvn r1141976.  Someone care to look into updating it.23:48
