[13:06] <Yaron-Heb> Hello there!
[13:06] <Yaron-Heb> I need some help getting the bidiui package for thunderbird back in ubuntu
[13:06] <Yaron-Heb> Who should I turn to and why was it removed in the first place?
[13:57] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: are there any binary components?
[13:59] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: it's arch all, why does it need to be in the archive?
[14:43] <BUGabundo> G'afternoon
[18:25] <micahg> chrisccoulson: I've started the deversioning of thunderbird for the thunderbird-next (3.2) branch
[18:26] <micahg> chrisccoulson: also, the remove.binonly stuff might not be so bad (seems like it's running and removing stuff, but looking for a second file), I'm still investigating

[20:52] <fta> ?
[20:53] <BUGabundo> I'm gonna burst
[20:57] <fta> lol
[21:31] <BUGabundo> fta: no chestnuts for you
[21:32] <BUGabundo> 3rd mem leak and system freeze with chromium
[21:34] <BUGabundo>     16   0.08s   0.54s  13.5G   1.7G      0   472    0    0  31% chromium-brows
[21:54] <Yaron-Heb> can anyone tell me what happened to bidiui in ubuntu? what's the reason for removal?
[21:58] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: we dropped extensions that had no binary components
[21:58] <Yaron-Heb> micahg: so now after it has been updated in Debian it should be cool isn't it?
[21:59] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: no
[21:59] <Yaron-Heb> can you explain to me what it means?
[21:59] <Yaron-Heb> what does binary component means and what is the problem with the lack of it
[21:59] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: since we're upgrading major versions now, we dropped almost everything that didn't have any binary components (we have to update the extensions for each major version update)
[22:00] <Yaron-Heb> So is there anything I can do to make this extension back in?
[22:01] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: give me a good reason why installing from bidiui.mozdev is bad?
[22:02] <micahg> and Debian isn't up to date BTW
[22:02] <Yaron-Heb> because the Hebrew users need it by default, if I installed the Hebrew language pack this should be part of it
[22:02] <Yaron-Heb> bidi/RTL support is crucial to those interfaces
[22:02] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: hebrew works fine in TB3 AFAICT, what doesn't work
[22:03]  * micahg tries it
[22:03] <Yaron-Heb> ok...
[22:04] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: is upstream aware of the issue?  I see what you mean and I think this should be fixed in Thunderbird itself
[22:06] <Yaron-Heb> yeah... I just talked to the Israeli representative of Mozilla and he says it would be much easier to use this instead of fixing thunderbird...
[22:06] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: what about the other RTL languages?  I can't believe Hebrew is the only one affected
[22:06] <Yaron-Heb> it affects all of them
[22:07] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: Ok.  I'll talk with upstream and if we can't find a good solution, it seems to make sense to add this back
[22:07] <Yaron-Heb> micahg: you are the best, thank you!
[22:07] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: np
[22:11] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: can you please file a bug against thunderbird that RTL is broke and give me the bug #?
[22:12] <Yaron-Heb> yes of course, in mozilla or in launchpad?
[22:12] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: launchpad please
[22:12] <micahg> I need to search around b.m.o for bugs
[22:13] <micahg> Yaron-Heb: ubuntu-bug thunderbird
[22:14] <Yaron-Heb> I think that there is a bug about it, I'll try to ask my friends
