tremoluxI'm taking a look at this weekend's developments  ;)16:08
mptsuch as bug 636004? :-)16:09
ubot2Launchpad bug 636004 in software-center (Ubuntu) "Incorrect title and summary for non-application packages (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/63600416:09
mptkiwinote said that was a side-effect of one of your fixes, but I don't see how16:09
tremoluxyeah, I don't that he's right about that, but I don't want to say for sure until I know for sure16:10
tremoluxmpt: the fix that I made didn't change his code that does the swap of title and summary16:10
mptWhat's weird is that those packages show the correct title and summary in search listings, but then the wrong title and summary on software item screens16:11
tremoluxmpt: indeed16:11
mptso I haven't looked, but it feels like we still have too many duelling routines for "this is what the title is"16:11
tremoluxmpt: right, it should be in one place16:12
tremoluxmpt: that would be the fix16:12
mptmvo and I have briefly talked about making that one place a separate library in Natty, so that software updates (and even Apt Daemon) can use it too16:13
tremoluxmpt: that sounds great, the more we could share the better certainly16:14
tremoluxmpt: the key is to make it obvious for all dev/contributors that this is the "go to" place for that data16:14
mptyeah16:14
tremoluxmpt: so I'm going to go out for lunch with my family but I'll be back on later and will try to take care of that title/summary fix and some other things16:29
tremoluxmpt: thanks very much for all of your work testing and reporting problems, making clarifications, etc.16:30
tremoluxmpt:  it has and will make a great difference16:31
tremoluxmpt: ttyl  \o16:31

kmckinney1Hi everyone!! I am new to the team and would like to introduce myself.. My name is Kevin McKinney and I am a masters student at Carnegie Mellon University22:16
kmckinney1I am a C / C++ programmer (not an expert) and I am looking to help in any way.22:16
kmckinney1I am interested in the gnome-device-manager package22:16
kmckinney1is anyone working on this package??  Please let me know how I can help enhance this software.22:18
c_kornkmckinney1: if you want to work on the upstream package you may want to contact the upstream author: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/universe/g/gnome-device-manager/gnome-device-manager_0.2-3/gnome-device-manager.copyright22:20
milanbvkmckinney1: you'll find David on #gnome-hackers as davidz22:21
milanbvbut I'm sure he's not working on gnome-device-manager at the moment22:22
milanbvif you want somebody to help you in your work, it's not the best package22:23
kmckinney1okay, thanks milanbv22:24
kmckinney1c_korn, thanks I will contact the upstream author22:29
c_kornyw22:30
chrisccoulsoni don't think nobody is working on gnome-device-manager. Unfortunately, it depends on HAL (which is deprecated now)22:33
chrisccoulsonso, unless you're going to port it from HAL to udev, anything else you do to it will be wasted, as nobody will use it22:33
kmckinney1yeah, I read that it needs to be ported to udev.. Do you have any How to documents you can share with me?22:35
kmckinney1chrisccoulson, porting from HAL to udev seems like a major task, any information you can provide me would be great22:38
milanbvkmckinney1: see for example http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/gudev/22:49
kmckinney1thanks milanbv!!22:49
milanbvgood luck!22:50
kmckinney1thanks22:50
