dfarningneeraj, can you ping dipankar about the patch.00:08
neerajdfarning, he must be sleeping (its 4.40am only). I think he will get up by 6 or 7am(IST)00:10
dfarningneeraj, that will be fine lfaraone can explain the process in detail.00:12
dfarningneeraj, I just picked a bug in the tracker which I know we have a patch00:12
neerajdfarning, as far as I could understand, that patch which dipankar used just change the line 227(http://paste.ubuntu.com/471283/). Nothing else.00:13
dfarningneeraj, the is correct.  Do you what to make a new patch00:16
dfarning?00:16
neerajdfarning, I can create a new patch, but I am not sure whether it will solve the problem as I will not be able to verify it00:17
alsrootbernie: I another got several reasons to have our own OBS instance, e.g. my builds in queue for 24h, keeping in mind that there are 10931 long queue w/ 195 build nodes00:17
dfarningneeraj,  if you make the new package I can test it.00:18
* alsroot missed w/ chat room00:18
dfarningneeraj, at some point you will need to install 10.10 for testing.00:19
dfarningneeraj, are you waking up early of going to bed late?00:20
neerajdfarning, Ok I will install 10.10 tomorrow. I will ask ankur to come with a iso image today.00:21
neerajgoing to be late.. :)00:21
dfarningneeraj, thanks.  I will let you hack on this problem a while.... that is the best way to learn.00:23
dfarningneeraj, I will send and email to the ml about the steps (for social reasons) we have to take to apply a patch00:24
neerajdfarning, ok00:24
dfarningmanusheel, ping?00:25
dfarning^^ I'll email my question in case you are sleeping00:26
neerajdfarning, I have sent u an email with modified source. Please build it and install the package00:37
dfarningneeraj, what command to build?00:38
dfarninglocally?00:38
neerajdebuild00:38
neerajyes..00:38
dfarningneeraj, testing00:40
dfarningneeraj, will be very slow I have never built a package on this laptop so I am setting things up.00:45
neerajdfarning,00:45
neerajwait00:45
neerajlemme send u the deb file which I *think* will work00:46
dfarningneeraj, ok, I'll test that deb package.00:48
neerajsent00:48
neerajI am not sure whether applying that patch will surely fix the bug, but still we can try o/w I will ask dipankar did he made ny changes apart from this which I made..00:49
neerajdfarning, U r facing the mouse bug on the laptop which u r using.. right?00:49
dfarningneeraj, yes the zareason netbook running ubunt 10.1000:50
dfarningneeraj, yes that fixes the problem for 10.1000:53
dfarningneeraj, can you turn that fix into a patch?00:55
neeraji have already created the debdiff file :)00:56
neerajdfarning, I have attached the patch(debdiff ) on LP  https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sugar-0.88/+bug/51122500:59
dfarningneeraj, +1.  What is the next step?01:01
neerajdfarning, I think lfaraone will first verify it and then then forward my request so that It can be released in maverick universe.01:03
dfarningneeraj, ok can you assign the bug to yourself for tracking purposes?01:13
neerajdfarning, I have subscribed my self.. (I think thats what u r asking me to do)01:14
dfarningneeraj, up near the top of the page there is an option to 'assign' a bug to someone.01:15
neerajI will get an instant mail for ny modification/comment made related to this bug.01:15
neerajdfarning, ok01:15
dfarningneeraj, that will make you the 'owner' or person responible for following through on the bug:)01:15
neerajdfarning, done01:15
dfarningneeraj, +101:16
dfarningWhat is the process for letting luke know there is a patch waiting his review?01:17
neerajdfarning, hmm. we can subscribe him to this bug.01:17
neerajdfarning, I think there is some redundant line in form of bug description which I don't know how showed up in the debdiff file..01:19
neerajI think that will not be a issue.. But in ny case if lfaraone wants me to modify it, then I can :)01:19
neerajdfarning, also earlier today as U and luke asked me to put a request for syncing packages from debian to ubuntu.01:20
dfarningneeraj, please ask him on the sugarteam mailing list.  describe what you and done and ask what steps to do next to push a patch into 10.10 it will be useful for all of us to know.01:20
neerajI did that for sugar-(tooklit,presence-service,base,artwork)-0.8801:21
dfarningneeraj, +101:21
neerajJust now I got mail about all for.. Though all for are released in maverick but also i got mail from LP build system that base and toolkit failed to build01:22
dfarningwhat was the problem?01:22
dfarningerror report?01:23
neerajfor toolkit https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sugar-toolkit-0.88/0.88.1-2/+build/1898096/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-maverick-sparc.sugar-toolkit-0.88_0.88.1-2_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz01:23
neerajI think there is just some dependency issue whose patch can be released easily, but I think I will first ask luke about it before doing anything as I am having some doubt.01:24
neerajLP#611856,LP#611860,LP#611864, LP#611866  are the sync request01:26
dfarningneeraj, +1, as the Ubuntu packager you will need to get good at recognizing and fixing this type of error:)01:26
dfarningneeraj, thank for your good work this week.  I have had a very long week and need to get to sleep.01:27
dfarningneeraj, talk to you soon.01:27
neerajdfarning, Ok. Have a nice sleep :)01:27

kandarpkdfarning: Nope. Don't worry about that15:04
dfarningkandarpk, not worrying.... just wondering15:04

dfarningkandarpk, that will certainly keep you busy.15:06
kandarpkdfarning: I am enjoying the work we do.15:07
dfarningkandarpk, did you see that neerajstarted working on bugs in lucid yesterday?15:07
kandarpkdfarning: yes, will try to learn from him about requestsync.15:08
dfarningkandarpk, that make it ok:)  many people watch tv to relax..... hackers hack:)15:08
kandarpkdfarning: the mouse bug ?15:08
dfarningkandarpk, great.... yes.15:08
dfarningnow that we are doing well on the packaging it is time to start working on bug:)15:09
kandarpkdfarning: yes, that will help diversifying.15:10
kandarpkdfarning: what about networking ?15:10
dfarningkandarpk, we will start with some of the easy bugs to learn the ubuntu process.... once we have the process understood(and can do it without think) we will start working on the hard bugs.15:12
kandarpkdfarning: Ok.15:14
dfarningkandarpk, what tasks do you have in you list?15:15
kandarpkdfarning: packaging one ?15:15
dfarningkandarpk, anyones.... I start looking for bugs that will be interesting for you.15:16
kandarpkdfarning: connect had networking problem15:16
kandarpkpoll did not responded on clicking on lesson plans15:17
kandarpkread didn't open PDF files15:17
dfarningkandarpk, you got them to build correctly?  now we need to start debuging them?15:18
kandarpkdfarning: yes, they were working fine otherwise15:18
dfarningkandarpk, ok so you have also pretty much shifted from packing to debuging:)15:19
kandarpkdfarning: No. just reporting problems :)15:20
dfarningkandarpk, how are the new guys you are training coming along?15:21
kandarpkdfarning: not much interaction right now, but they are working on API documentation IIRC.15:22
dfarningkandarpk, cool are they working locally or on an sunjammer?15:23
kandarpkdfarning: I prepared a doc. for creating patches.15:23
kandarpkso must be working locally right now15:23
dfarningwill you ask them to forward their patch queue to me?  I am going to have to figure out how to start getting their patches approved upstream.15:24
kandarpkdfarning: sure, as soon as they start developing :)15:28
kandarpkdfarning: as we won't be changing source, I don't think getting them aproved should be a problem15:29
kandarpkdfarning: by source, I mean the execution part, docstrings are more like comments15:29
kandarpkwhich we will be working on.15:30
dfarningkandarpk, which bugs?15:33
kandarpkdfarning: bugs ?? I was talking about the API documentation above.15:33
dfarningkandarpk, sorry misread your comment.15:35

dfarningneeraj neeraj_gupta19:16
dfarning^^ping19:16
neerajdfarning: yes19:16
dfarningneeraj got another request for you.19:16
neerajdfarning: sure..19:18
dfarningneeraj can you file a request to stop autosyncing or drop sugar-hulahop from 10.04 and 10.10.19:18
neerajanother bug fixing task?19:18
neerajdfarning: Ok. Lemme look for appropriate method for doing it.19:19
dfarningneeraj it was a dependancy for browse which no longer works.  and we are moving to webkit rather than xulrunner.19:19
dfarningneeraj, thanks19:19
neerajdfarning: Ok.. :)19:20
neerajdfarning: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/PackageArchive#Removing%20Packages19:27
neerajshould I worry about last part19:28
neerajconfirmation that the binary packages have no rdepends (no other package depends on them)19:28
dfarningneeraj yes, I think the only thing which depends on sugar-hulahop is sugar-browse which does not build anyway.19:39
neerajdfarning: ok19:39
manusheelneeraj: Right.19:39
neerajdfarning: Ok. xulrunner was a back end for  hulahop but now lucian attempting to write webkit as a backend for hulahop. Right?19:53
lucianneeraj: xulrunner IS a backend for hulahop and it will remain so for the foreseeable future19:54
lucianneeraj: at first i was planning to write an abstraction layer which would allow Browse to use either xulrunner or webkit, but i gave that up because xulrunner is horrible to embed19:55
luciandfarning: and don't rush on moving to webkit, it won't even work properly on fc1319:56
neerajlucian, thanks for the update. I wrote the above message after seeing ur gsoc application only :)19:56
neerajdfarning, manusheel what reason should I give in removal request then19:56
neerajRequest Description- >http://typewith.me/rY0rD2Tbk919:57
luciandfarning: i see no reason why hulahop wouldn't work on 10.04 or 10.10 as long as there is a xulrunner pakage19:57
dfarninglucian, xulrunner is a mess in ubuntu.19:59
luciandfarning: that's their problem, let ubuntu fix it19:59
lucianand in the meantime there are PPAs with xulrunner20:00
dfarninglucian, That is the problem they are not going to fix it because they want everybody to move to webkit.20:00
luciandfarning: you can't get people to move to something that doesn't work yet by breaking the thing that still works20:01
lucianpython bindings for webkit & friends are still crap20:01
lucianboth pywebkitgtk and pygobject+gi20:01
luciani get their point, webkit is made for embedding and xulrunner is not20:02
dfarninglucian, I don't have a good answer:(20:02
manusheelneeraj: I think the request description is fine for now.20:02
luciandfarning: sorry, i might be redirecting some of my anger at them towards you :)20:03
lucianthe thing is, Browse-webkit won't work on 10.04, ever20:03
manusheellucian and dfarning, what is your feedback on http://typewith.me/rY0rD2Tbk9?20:03
lucianmanusheel: Browse is STILL using xulrunner/hulahop as a backend20:04
lucianit can't be replaced by webkit yet because of crappy python bindings20:04
manusheellucian: Yes, I think there is a mistake there. We have replaced pyxpcom with webkit, right?20:05
lucianmanusheel: no, that's not it. we haven't replaced it with webkit yet20:05
neerajlucian: so we should not request for dropping sugar-hulahop which is still failing because of xulrunner(which dfarning said is not in working condition )20:05
lucianbecause with the current state of python bindings to webkit, we can't write a fully featured (or even fully working) Browse20:05
manusheellucian: What would be a good workable solution to have a functioning Browse?20:06
lucianmanusheel: we were trying to replace the xulrunner stack (which has hulahop and pyxpcom as python bindings) with the webkit & gnome stack (which has either pywebkitgtk or pygi as python bindings)20:06
lucianmanusheel: keep hulahop & xulrunner working20:07
lucianthat's 1)20:07
lucian2) fix pywebkitgtk and write a libsoup python binding20:07
lucian3) backport pygobject+gi to 10.04/fc13 and fix it20:07
dfarninglucian we don't have a working browse now becuase of problem in xulrunner which the mozilla team has stopped (mostly) supporting.20:07
luciandfarning: from what i talked to mozilla people it's the ubuntu folks that dropped things20:08
dfarninglucian, yes It is the ubuntu-mozillateam that stopped supporting xulrunner.... that might be the source of some of our confusion.20:09
lucianah, i see20:10
lucianwell, i'd like to finish the webkit port20:10
lucianbut as I said, i can't until i have working python bindings to at least webkit and libsoup20:10
dfarningneeraj I guess we are on hold for a while.20:11
neerajdfarning: Ok.20:11
lucianlong-term, we should use webkit and pygobject as a binding20:12
dfarninglucian, can you send a post to the ubuntu-sugarteam ML explaining the situation and steps you recommend we take to resolve the issues.20:13
lucianbut right now, we're at the transition point between old-style static bindings and G-I20:13
manusheel_lucian: Thanks for discussing the situation.20:13
manusheel_dfarning: +120:13
dfarninglucian,  then we can figure out how to lean on, encourage and motivate who we need to to fix the problem.20:14
luciandfarning: the best way forward is backporting newer pygobject to 10.0420:14
manusheel_dfarning: Are we aware of the reason, why Mozilla Ubuntu team stopped their support on these key packages?20:14
lucianmanusheel_: because they don't like them20:15
dfarninglucian, +1 on the ubuntu side of the house we have actully give up support for 10.04 and are working on 10.10.20:16
lucianquoting mozilla devs "The ubuntu devs feel that a system webkit is better than a system xulrunner, but I suspect they'll regret that"20:16
manusheel_lucian: Wow. A very interesting answer for an open source project.20:16
luciandfarning: then it depends what version of pygobject 10.10 comes with20:16
lucianmanusheel_: bottom like, ubuntu don't like embedding xulrunner, for good reasons20:17
dfarninglucian, once we get things working in 10.10 we will work with the ubuntu backport team to backport to 10.04.20:17
dfarninglucian, see https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/pygobject of version in 10.1020:20
luciandfarning: 2.21.4 is the lowest acceptable version http://blog.tomeuvizoso.net/2010/06/new-pygobject-release-2214.html20:21
dfarninglucian, so the 10.10 version _should_ work.20:24
luciandfarning: yes, apart for all the bugs20:25
luciansome of them are webkit bugs, in fact20:25
dfarninglucian, well that does give us three months of debuging for us and for upstream.20:27
luciandfarning: upstream webkit doesn't seem to care20:27
luciani'll try the ML too20:28
dfarninglucian, hmmm I thought upstream webkit was pretty responsive.  is that not true?20:29
luciandfarning: dunno, my bug's been there for a few days without any activity20:30
luciani've tried #webkitgtk too20:30
dfarninglucian, Do you mind pursuing this approach (focusing on the dependencies available in 10.10) for a few weeks to see where it leads?20:33
luciandfarning: i'd rather focus on finishing the webkit port20:34
lucianthere are several features that exist in Browse-hulahop, but are missing from Browse-webkit20:35
dfarninglucian, that is what I mean finishing the webkit port with the assumption that you will have all of the dependencies available in 10.10.20:37
luciandfarning: ah, ok20:37
dfarningfedora will catch up with in a release.20:37
dfarningthey are very fast.20:37
lucianand we'll stick to Browse-hulahop for everything current20:38
lucianwhich means getting a working xulrunner in 10.0420:38
dfarninglucian, +120:38
dfarninglucian, thanks20:40
luciandfarning: in any case, i still need to get a working webkit+gi for developing20:40
luciani still need to fix webkit20:41
dfarninglucian, can rgs_help you with that?20:42
luciandfarning: yes, i suppose so. we've been working together so far20:42
dfarninglucian, his primary task is to help you get surf running.20:43
dfarninglucian, his next project will be getting fedora 12+ funning on the XO.20:44
dfarninghe is very much in R and D mode:)20:44
luciandfarning: why not switch to ubuntu? :)20:44
manusheellucian: +120:45
manusheel:-)20:45
dfarning:)20:46
lucianmy main issue with fedora on the XO 1.0 is yum, which is extremely slow20:46
lucianand sometimes locks it up20:46
dfarninglucian, sadly Sugar on Ubuntu sucks to much to even consider a move.... but maybe in a couple of releases:)20:48
luciandfarning: i see. well, i don't care much as long as I get a dev environment20:50
manusheellucian: We are making good progress. Overtime, you'll have a good choice.20:52
