bdrungmicahg: i am going to upload m-d 0.2500:00
micahgbdrung: cool00:02
micahgbdrung: need me to rebuild anything?00:03
bdrungmicahg: no, because we need to touch every package (see my mail from last week) and because we need ff 4.0 compatible packages00:03
micahgbdrung: ok, just didn't remember if anything was broke ATM00:03
bdrungmicahg: only adblock (which i take care of)00:04
micahgbdrung: I didn't see much of a response on the Debian list00:04
bdrungmicahg: the mailing list isn't that active00:04
bdrungmicahg: i gave all members one week to veto00:05
micahgthat sounds more than fair00:05
bdrungdo-ocracy wins ;)00:06
bdrungfour packages uploaded in a row :)00:06
micahgbdrung: what do you mean by that?  that's you're the only uploader of m-devscripts at this point?00:07
bdrungmicahg: that this is my fourth package that i upload today (audacity, vlc, qemu-kvm, m-d)00:08
micahgbdrung: ah, ok, cool00:08
bdrungmicahg: uploaded00:10
chrisccoulsonFFS, upload rejected01:25
chrisccoulsoni can't be arsed any more today, time for sleep01:26
* micahg wonders what FFS is01:46
chrisccoulsonmicahg - it contains expletives ;)01:49
chrisccoulsoni just had mozvoikko rejected01:49
micahgchrisccoulson: ah, ok01:50
chrisccoulsonactually, it wouldn't have built, i just remembered it needs some more changes to the xulrunner package to build, which i'm already running locally01:51
chrisccoulsonmicahg - so, with the exception of yelp, i think we've done all the apps in main already01:56
micahgchrisccoulson: that's good, I actually forgot about them since they're not in the packageset :)01:58
chrisccoulsoni'm basically working from the same type of list i used when i worked on all the backports01:59
micahgchrisccoulson: is there any trick to get a xul-mozjs binary dependency?01:59
micahgchrisccoulson: I added all the packages in teh packageset to the blueprint01:59
chrisccoulsonmicahg - not yet. for now, it just needs to be added manually02:00
chrisccoulsoni think the only way to have it added automatically is to either build applications with rpath or run dh_shlibdeps with LD_LIBRARY_PATH02:00
chrisccoulsonelse it's got no way of finding libmozjs02:00
micahgchrisccoulson: I think we should go the LD_LIBRARY_PATH route02:01
chrisccoulsonpossibly, but i'm not too concerned though. there shouldn't be too many people using this package ;)02:01
chrisccoulsonit only really exists to free up CD space atm02:02
micahgchrisccoulson: well, I'll try to transition the universe packages when I merge/update to use it02:02
micahgwhen appropriate02:02
chrisccoulsoncool, thanks02:02
chrisccoulsonhopefully, gjs should be trivial to update, i think the latest git version already works with 2.002:04
chrisccoulsoncouchdb was pretty difficult to get working02:04
micahgchrisccoulson: yeah, I think they might have xul20 support alraedy, I want to finish the mediatomb merge from Debian and SRU before I get started on porting, I got another query about it today02:05

ari-tczewhmm, my firefox4 on natty doesn't have a button to navigate 'back' pages :/11:22
chrisccoulsonari-tczew, you mean the drop-down?11:28
chrisccoulsonari-tczew, right-clicking on the button gives you the drop-down11:29
ari-tczewchrisccoulson: perhaps11:29
ari-tczewchrisccoulson: ah, yes. is it ubuntu change or upstream?11:29
chrisccoulsoni assume the extra drop-down button has gone to remove the visual clutter, as it isn't really used often enough to justify it's position on the addressbar11:30
chrisccoulsonit's an upstream change11:30
chrisccoulsonwe generally don't change any visible UI like that as a distro change11:32
ari-tczewchrisccoulson: do you confirm, that firefox4 is heavier with flash than firefox3?11:57
chrisccoulsonari-tczew, no, i hardly use anything with flash11:58
chrisccoulsoni avoid flash like the plague, because it is so terrible11:58
chrisccoulson;)11:58

magciusuh15:22
magciushas anyone been paying attention to the firefox-4.0 builds?15:23
magciusyou should really update your patches15:24
magciusyour offsets are getting huge, and they're going to break again15:24
ftadpm, hi, the old templates are still there :( any idea what i can do that won't break rosetta?15:37
magciusuh15:38
magciusso, can you like pay attention to why your build is failing next time?15:38
magciusyou're applying a patch that hasn't worked for three days15:39
magciusand you're still uploading the packages15:39
* magcius points at micahg15:39
ftachrisccoulson, ^^15:39
chrisccoulsonmagcius, they will get fixed when i have time to look at them15:40
magciusyou might want to rebase your other patches as well15:40
magcius(offset 42 lines)15:40
chrisccoulsonrebasing patches that just have offsets is pointless anyway, it doesn't make them any less likely to break in the future. if somebody makes an incompatible change, then the patch will break whether it had an offset before or not anyway15:43
magciuschrisccoulson, patch sometimes fixes errors, and I've seen patches that apply incorrectly but pass because it fixed a couple errors that happened to be around the 0 offset mark (but not the code it was supposed to patch)15:44
chrisccoulsonhmmm, i'm not sure i follow what you're saying15:44
chrisccoulsonif there is a problem with the way the patch applies, it will either fail outright or apply with fuzz15:45
magciuschrisccoulson, right... I've seen patches accidentally apply with fuzz15:46
chrisccoulsonyeah, those need fixing. but i'm not going to waste time rebasing patches that just have offsets. if i did that, then i'd spend my whole life rebasing patches15:47
chrisccoulsonif you want to rebase those, then feel free to propose a merge though15:47
dpmfta, no, sorry, I'm not too familiar with that part where the templates go away after a few days. Let's grab henninge and jtv on Monday for a short chat and let's try to sort it out, as today I'll be going soon16:03
ftadpm, the thing is i want to start asap, we've lost a month already on lp bugs16:08
micahgchrisccoulson: why did you use GREMaxVer=2.0.0.99 instead of GREMaxVer=2.0.99?18:03
gnomefreakwas chromium "set as default browser" ever fixed?, im doing updates but last i checked it wasnt fixed18:30
gnomefreaktesting with opera atm18:33
gnomefreakit is not a breowser issue since no browser except for FF40b* is used18:34
micahggnomefreak: no, it's a the GNOME stack is in transition in Natty ATM issue :)18:36
gnomefreakmakes sense, thanks18:36
gnomefreakwhy beta why not stable FF, because that is what it was set to when transition started?18:37
micahggnomefreak: FF4.0b7 is firefox in Natty18:43
gnomefreaki also have minefield and minefield is the one used as default18:43
gnomefreakminefiels == b8 :)18:44
ftagnomefreak, was fixed in maverick down to hardy, but natty regressed because of gnome318:44
gnomefreakoh i didnt relize we started feeding in gnome3 yet18:45
davidascherchrisccoulson: ping19:31
chrisccoulsonhi davidascher19:31
davidascherhi chrisccoulson.  Where's the best place to find technical information about the messaging menu and global menu APIs?19:32
chrisccoulsondavidascher, i'll have a look for some documentation, but you could also talk to tedg19:32
chrisccoulsonhe normally hangs out on #ayatana19:32
davidascherthis is to describe to someone else19:32
chrisccoulsonyeah, tedg would probably be a good person to talk to19:33
chrisccoulsonalthough, he doesn't seem to be around right now :/19:33
chrisccoulsondavidascher, it seems that tedg is on vacation today19:36
micahgUS holiday weekend19:36

davidascheryeah, i saw those, thx20:27
jcastroah20:27
jcastroI was hoping it wasn't a case of "those aren't enough"20:27
davidascherI think i'm looking for something one level down, i.e. specific DBUS api calls, etc.20:27
* jcastro nods20:28
jcastroI am looking where ted normally hides things ...20:28
jcastrodavidascher: I'll have to get back to you on that20:30
davidascherthx20:30
chrisccoulsonfta - for the chromium translation work you are doing, what are you doing with the output from launchpad? is it ending up in language packs or just going back upstream (with the chromium source providing it's own locale packs still)?20:32
ftachrisccoulson, i create patches that i put in my tarballs and also publish on the web (for review, and for upstream). i apply those patches at build time, and the chromium build system creates its langpacks that i ship in a deb20:34
chrisccoulsonfta - i'm wondering whether i should take a similar approach for firefox, it seems like that could work better20:36
chrisccoulsonthe current process for firefox is overcomplicated, and i'm struggling to even get the new translations in to language packs atm20:36
ftachrisccoulson, yep, i think you should.20:36
chrisccoulsonalpha 1 is going to ship with no firefox translations because there isn't anybody around who's familiar enough to get the new translations in to launchpad :/20:37
micahgchrisccoulson: we could do the same thing we do for thunderbird20:38
ftachrisccoulson, i wanted the langpacks in all builds, incl in PPAs, so i went my own way, ie, without the langomatic thingy20:38
chrisccoulsonmicahg - yeah, that's what i want to do, but with the ability to import those translations in to launchpad, grab an export and then do what we like with that20:39
micahgchrisccoulson: oh, why not just take the upstream xpis?20:39
chrisccoulsonmicahg - that's basically what we'd be doing. we'd ship those xpi's, like we do with t/bird, but we'd have the ability to translate in launchpad, and then we could export the LP translations and send them upstream (or apply the diff to the xpi's we upload)20:40
micahgchrisccoulson: ok20:40
chrisccoulsoni'm so close to just uploading a firefox-locales package now20:40
chrisccoulsonthe current process is frustrating me20:41
ftathat's what i do now20:41
chrisccoulsonyeah, i think that makes more sense20:41
chrisccoulsoni think that's what we'll do tbh, i'll talk to pitti on monday, but i can't have the current process blocking our ability to ship translations at all20:42
micahgI should update the TB translations in Natty for alpha-120:42
chrisccoulsonyeah, please feel free to do that20:43
chrisccoulsoni think that makes more sense. i'll probably create the firefox-locales package over the weekend, and then i'll talk with pitti about how to get that in (presumably we'd need to update language-selector to pull in those when users install a new language pack)20:44
chrisccoulsonand it also makes sense for the case where we ship a new major version as a security update20:44
chrisccoulsonupdating all the language packs for a security update is a pain20:45
ftachrisccoulson, will you do 1 mega lang-pack or 1 per lang?20:46
micahgchrisccoulson: right, one source to rule them all is much easier :)20:46
micahgsource package shouldn't be much larger than the FF tarball itself20:47
chrisccoulsonfta - we'd have to do 1 package per language, as we'd never get it on to the CD20:51
chrisccoulsonit would be 1 source package though20:51
ftachrisccoulson, why another source package?20:52
chrisccoulsonfta - the firefox translations aren't part of the source tarball, although the mozilla source can build the xpi's20:53
ftaok20:53
chrisccoulsonso, it might be that we stick the translations in a bzr branch and then import them in to the firefox source when we roll the tarball20:53
chrisccoulsonthen add some extra steps to the build to create the xpi's20:53
chrisccoulsonwe already need to do that for en-US20:53
chrisccoulsonwe'll see, i'll experiment next week and see what works best20:54
chrisccoulsoni'd just like a process that we're more in control of ;)20:54

BUGabundoshould I ?22:20
BUGabundoisn't there a meta package to pull it ?22:20
chrisccoulsonBUGabundo, you should install it if you want your applets to work22:25
chrisccoulsoni think the intention is that most applets will be ported to the dbus based libpanel-applet before the end of the cycle22:26
