ChogyDanari-tczew: ok, I think I have a debdiff.  Should I follow the sponsorship page next?00:00
ari-tczewChogyDan: yes. It's easy. just subscribe ubuntu-sponsors to your filed bug.00:01
ChogyDanari-tczew: ok, will do, thanks00:01
matttbeHello!00:04
matttbeWe're looking for a sponsorship in order to accept a few modifications about Cairo-Dock project in Ubuntu Maverick00:04
matttbeIt's a bugs fixed version: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo-dock/+bug/65370200:05
matttbeIs it possible to have some help? :)00:05
ubottuLaunchpad bug 653702 in cairo-dock-plug-ins (Ubuntu) "Please update cairo-dock to the final 2.2.0~4 version (bugs fixed)" [Undecided,Confirmed]00:05
matttbeEverything should be ok (two branches are ready and they can be merged into lp:ubuntu/cairo-dock and lp:ubuntu/cairo-dock-plug-ins) :)00:05
ari-tczewmatttbe: it's a new upstream release?00:06
matttbeari-tczew: yes it is00:08
ari-tczewmatttbe: are there any new features?00:08
ari-tczewlike important UI/API changes00:08
matttbeOf course not ;)00:08
matttbeit's just a bugs-fixed version (from 2.2.0~2 => 2.2.0~4)00:08
ari-tczewmatttbe: what tested have you done00:08
ari-tczew?00:09
matttbeari-tczew: this version is available from our repository and our ppa00:09
ari-tczewmatttbe: I don't have time for testing it.00:09
matttbeno but it seems that this version fixes all bugs that we have listed00:10
ari-tczewmatttbe: words do not give a guarantee of stability00:11
matttbeari-tczew: and it fixes this bug (Importance: high) https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/cairo-dock-plug-ins/+bug/65333600:11
ubottuLaunchpad bug 653336 in cairo-dock-plug-ins (Ubuntu) "All .mo files aren't installed into the right directory" [Undecided,In progress]00:12
matttbeari-tczew: of course :)00:12
matttbebut yes this version has been tested by a lot of people :)00:12
ari-tczewmatttbe: 8-set (VERSION "2.2.0-0rc1")00:13
ari-tczewhmmm it seems to, that we have current rc version?00:13
matttbeari-tczew: yes, it seems the branch has not been updated00:13
ari-tczewmatttbe: that's right. cairo-dock exist on http://package-import.ubuntu.com/status/00:14
ari-tczewmatttbe: please subscribe ubuntu-sponsors then00:14
matttbeoh, so it's not ubuntu-release? :)00:15
ari-tczewmatttbe: ubuntu-release is for review for ACK. your package is bug-fix release, not necessary to get an ACK from ubuntu-release, because cairo-dock is in universe.00:16
micahgari-tczew: actually, because it's in universe and unseeded00:16
matttbeoh yes, sorry00:16
ari-tczewChogyDan: where do you have filed bug?00:20
ChogyDanari-tczew: sorry, I haven't filed one yet.  I was waiting for it to build in ppa00:20
ari-tczewChogyDan: you can use locally pbuilder.00:21
ChogyDanari-tczew: well, I built it locally in a hacky manner, some sort of debuild -i -b command.  and it seemed to be working00:26
ChogyDanari-tczew: Im working on bug 65490600:26
ubottuLaunchpad bug 654906 in deluge (Ubuntu) "infinite loop/memory and refuses to close" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/65490600:26
ari-tczewChogyDan: your debdiff not looks good.00:37
ChogyDanari-tczew: :)00:37
ari-tczewChogyDan: if you want to process sponsorship, please don't include ~ppa in versioning. just 0ubuntu2 is enough00:37
ari-tczewChogyDan: and you should add a patch. I think that you've changed the source code directly.00:39
ChogyDanari-tczew: yeah, I don't really know anything about debdiffs, or sponsorship00:39
ChogyDanyeah00:39
ari-tczewChogyDan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/PatchSystems00:39
ChogyDanari-tczew: ok, so I think I edited the patch ok.  I got it to work with the edit-patch command.  But now, when I debuild -S, it complains that the patch is already applied, which is true01:04
ChogyDananyway, I gota go get some dinner.  Ill take a second look later01:08
ari-tczewChogyDan: I must go to bed, maybe tumbleweed will help in future.01:12

RhondaI'm reading the font license and am a bit puzzled with term 2 about the font name. It both requires strong "must" statements for either having to carry the name, or for having to rename it, based on "substantially changes" which is far from clear and could cause serious troubles for people changing the font and not knowing wether it's considered substantially by the terms of the license or not.12:30
vishsladen: ^^12:30
sladenRhonda: 'Substantial Changes' is defined further up the licence;  see the http://font.ubuntu.com/ufl/ofl-1.1-ufl-1.0.diff.html12:32
Rhondasladen: Ah, missed that. Still sounds a bit fuzzy, to be honest. What if one changes a single character? Would that be considered already substantially? Especially if it's an uncommon character?12:34
sladenRhonda: however, that is the first-shot at an interim licence, and feedback is greatly welcomed12:34
RhondaFeel free to consider this as feedback that I see this term parts as being a can of worms for those that think about changes. :)12:34
sladenRhonda: that's the point isn't it;  you can decide and if somebody disagrees, you go to court to find out12:34
RhondaThat's not the way licenses work.12:35
RhondaEspecially not when it carries out a "you must change the name to this if you do that, or you must change the name to that if you do something else".12:35
sladenCould you file it on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-licence/+filebug12:35
RhondaThe must requirement has to be clear.12:35
Rhonda Ubuntu Font Licence  does not use Launchpad as its bug tracker.12:36
Rhondasladen: That link doesn't work. ;)12:36
sladenRhonda: hold, I've poked Mark to config bugs on there12:38
RhondaSweet, nice greetings. ;)12:38
sladenRhonda: your wish is sabdfl's command:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-font-licence12:41
Rhondaheh :)12:41
sladenRhonda: (bearing in mind that I did not write the UFL, and that it originates in the OFL and those suggested by the SFLC (the same people who authored GPLv3)12:42
sladenRhonda: ...those changes suggested...12:42
RhondaI don't blame anyone here, that's not my intention, so no need to defend. :)12:42
sladenRhonda: "Substially Changed" is (like a lot of legal terms) defined on whether your average Jo or Mary on the street could tell the difference12:44
sladenRhonda: (average Jos and Marys being the same people who sit on jury panels)12:44
Rhondasladen: average Joe and Mary could live in a complete different country and are exposed to different subsets of the font only.12:46
sladenRhonda: it hopefully discourages asking a lawyer what it means, because if you Aunt Tilly can tell the difference, it probably is "Substantially Changed"12:46
RhondaIncluding like adding glyphs for characters that aren't included yet. Such moves could be aswell be considered substantial.12:47
sladenRhonda: yup, internationalisation /is important/ (which is why "Propagate" is used---it's basically the same language as the GPLv3)12:47
RhondaEven (or especially?) if they are done in the spirit of the font.12:47
sladenRhonda: did you, out of interest, have a script in mind for adding?12:48
sladenRhonda: (this is a UFF thing, rather than a UFL thing, I appreciate)12:48
Rhondasladen: No, but wesnoth started to discuss adopting it and thus I took a look at the license to find this part that I consider troublesome to go with and thus would like to have clearified before suggesting either way.12:52
RhondaThat will have to get postponed until asian glyphs are in the font anyway, but rather safe than sorry. :)12:53
Rhondasladen: alright, bug #655096 has it for now. Thanks for listening. :)12:53

sladenRhonda: "Asian scripts" is a lot, any in particular?  Thai, Davengari, Chinese, ...?13:04
sladenRhonda: it would help to know where to focus13:04
Rhondasladen: Then languages listed in http://gettext.wesnoth.org/ ;)13:05
RhondaJapanese for a start, and zh_CN13:05
sladenRhonda: okay, zh_CN will take a while (47,000 characters, or which 4,000-5,000 are needed)13:12
Rhondasladen: Right. Maybe we could extract the ones needed by wesnoth from out po files? :P13:13

Rhondasladen: I guess I won't really drop a Please Support for the regular european latin languages, right? :)13:34
sladenRhonda: only if a character isn't supported for a particular script!13:38
RhondaIs there an easy way to check for that?13:38
sladenRhonda: the idea is to bring up a particular script at a time;  some of these will need just one, or two glyphs adding to support them13:38
RhondaRight. German has me thinks 7 additional characters.13:39
sladenRhonda: I guess what I should (automatically) publish is a simple output listing of what codepoints are covered (there are !1,243 I think so far)13:40
RhondaSweet. :)13:40
sladenRhonda: what you could do is develop a script that outputs the characters used in those wosnoth translations13:40
sladenRhonda: a list of all the (unicode) codepoints used;  and which for which languages13:41
sladenRhonda: as I suspect that the translations are a pretty good corpus for "real world use"13:41

Adri2000if any archive admin around has a minute available, there's a filezilla lucid sru waiting in the queue; it's just a rebuild for the wxwidgets2.8 ABI change issue14:13
sladenRhonda: would you object to splitting those up into ja/zh/ko separately.  Each of those individually is larger than what is already there---and I don't want to scare people off14:31
RhondaHmm, sure, shouldn't be a big issue. Just wanted to avoid people calling it duplicates because there is not big of a technical difference here.14:40

sladenAlanBell: eg. which of EOT, SVG, ...  and which packages/PPAs have the convertors in them19:19
AlanBellI will check, but I thought it just needs the ttf files but not in a zip archive19:20
AlanBellmaybe it does need EOT for Internet Explorer and OTF for real browsers19:22
sladenAlanBell: if you think it's that simple, you're in for a shock :)19:49
AlanBellit is that simple19:54
AlanBellsupporting EOT is relatively trivial, but not neccessarily a good idea. Regular font linking just needs the .ttf files hosted19:55
AlanBelland make sure the web server is sending the right mimetype19:57
