ikoniahowever I thought it polite to just ask if she new of a reason before assuming it was her or the older issue00:00
PiciI don't think thats a good idea.00:00
PiciYou're going to open up a can of worms.00:00
* IdleOne hands ikonia salt and pepper00:00
IdleOnefor the worms :)00:00
ikoniashe's responded now and been very reasonable00:01
ikoniait's not unreasonable to ask if she knows if it was her or not, if it's an old legacy thing, then we can remove it00:01
ikoniaunless anyone objects00:01
IdleOneno objection here.00:02
ikoniaI need to get to grip with the newer formats00:03
ikonia(ban formats)00:03
Pici'new'?00:03
tonyyarussoIt's okay - I haven't really learned them yet either :S00:04
IdleOne:) glad it wasn't just me00:04
ikoniawell, they are new to me, some of the changes made when freenode changed irc daemons00:04
PiciThat was nearly a year ago ;)00:04
ikoniaok, so I'm slack00:04
ikoniaI'll take my punishment00:04
tonyyarussoEveryone who knows the new stuff and is not nor has ever been network staff raise your hand ;)00:05

ikonia"it's been a year"........00:05

ikoniaso what is r:$username00:47
rwwikonia: assuming you mean $r:username, it matches anyone with a realname/GECOS field of "username"00:50
ikoniaah, realname00:50

Myrttisometimes I wonder do people somehow sense I'm a female and not respond to my questions about their problems because of that11:12
Myrttibecause I've had that several times IRL11:12
jribMyrtti: in #ubuntu you mean?11:17
ubottuIn ubottu, cdbs said: !hi is <reply> Saying 'Hi' or 'Hello' on entering a busy channel such as #ubuntu everytime is not recommended. Thanks!12:31
* cdbs should have written something better for ^12:31
ikoniacouncil, why has the channel #ubuntu-uds been left open and not closed ?13:49
ubottuIn #ubuntu, discharge said: ubottu: yes, i know it is, i used it for several days, and i have used it with screen too. Weechat is terminal based too14:23
Myrtti... damned bank holidays...14:26
evilnhandlerikonia: I'll look at it later today. We actually dropped the other UDS channels (since they can't get re-used). This was probably just an oversight since it didn't need dropping. But I think it does make sense to close it until UDS16:02
charlie-tcasomeone in #ubuntu is sending gnome users to #xubuntu?16:26
Myrtticharlie-tca: someone asked how to join earlier, but I don't see anyone particularly sending anyone16:28
charlie-tcaI have a user in #xubuntu wanting to know why he was told to go there for support for Ubuntu16:29
charlie-tcaand, of course, I couldn't tell s/he why?16:30
Myrtticharlie-tca: who?16:30
charlie-tcaMrAnthrope16:31
charlie-tcaHe didn't know who sent him16:31
charlie-tca<MrAnthrope> Oh I use gnome. I was just told to come in here and wasn't sure why. Now I'm really not sure why lol.16:32
Myrttisomeone got mistaken16:33

macocdbs: not officially17:17
cdbsmaco: I saw your pics in Riddell's blog, I guess you contribute there17:18
macoyeah17:18
* cdbs is bilalakhtar in case anyone is confused17:18
macoim just not a member of ~kubuntu-dev yet17:18
cdbssame case here, I regularly contribute but not a member of ~ubuntu-desktop yet :(17:18
ikoniawhat do you guys do to contribute ?17:18
macowrite patches17:18
cdbsikonia: fix bugs, update stuff in the repos17:18
cdbsUbuntu GNOME packages are badly deviated from Debian17:18
macothough...the one i was writing at uds i havent finished. i think im gonna have to write a library first to do it more-right17:18
cdbswe take stuff directly from upstream nowadays17:18
cdbsmaco: What's the case with Kubuntu packages?17:18
macostraight from upstream17:19
ikoniathe ubuntu gnome desktop is basically going into a fork17:19
cdbssame here, which is quick but *bad*17:19
cdbsikonia: very much17:19
macowe send our changes to debian17:19
ikoniasucks17:19
cdbsand it means MORE work for us17:19
cdbsall the desktop devs are damn busy nowadays17:19
macoi like kubuntu's patch policy... upstream has to ok it before it gets merged17:20
cdbswith the GNOME 2.32 -> 3.0 and GNOME -> unity transition17:20
ikoniaprobably too busy doing "their own thing" making a fork17:20
cdbsI don't like it when Ubuntu tries to deviate from upstream (GNOME in this case)17:21
cdbsmaco: really? Patches need to be merged upstream first? Good policy, but we can't do that here, we are moving far away from GNOME17:22
ikoniano, it's two fingers up at the open source projects it's built on17:22
macocdbs: not necessarily merged, but at least approved17:22
cdbs:o17:22
macocdbs: for example, upstream qt said "well we're already frozen for 4.7 so go ahead and merge in your distro and we'll take that patch later"17:23
maco(for the indicator stuff017:23
* cdbs considers if he should join the Kubuntu developers and develop for them instead :)17:23
Tm_Trcdbs: just do it (;17:23
cdbsmaco: atleast they recognise Ubuntu :) here they are like: 'We don't care'17:23
cdbsThey won't even look at the patch if they are in a freeze17:24
ikoniacdbs: probably because ubuntu is doing it's own thing with no consideration for the other projects17:24
cdbsprobably17:24
macoand there's a standing agreement that upstream kde uses 3 level deep kickoff menu and kubuntu uses 2 levels deep. kde doesnt want to switch but doesnt regard it as a big enough difference to worry about17:24
ikoniaif I was debian I wouldn't take patches of ubuntu as it just does what it wants17:24
ikonia"off"17:24
Tm_Tralso many Kubuntu developers are KDE developers too (:17:24
cdbsnow that is a big change for KDE devs17:25
ikoniathat's useful17:25
cdbsfor us, that is barely a small change :D17:25
macocdbs: i said *doesnt* regard it as big enough to worry about :P17:25
macothe patch has been shown to them, they say its fine they just dont want it17:25
* cdbs misread17:25
macotheir concern is, i think, largely that kubuntu doesnt introduce quality issues that reflect poorly on kde17:26
macomeanwhile the kubuntu devs are enough of kde fanboys and fangirls that they dont want to deviate too much in appearance...so things tend to work out17:26
cdbsBecause you people have a concern about KDE17:26
cdbswe don't care about GNOME, they don't care about us :(17:26
macoyou shouldve seen desrt's face when i mentioned the kubuntu patch policy at uds17:27
cdbsdesrt?17:27
Tm_Trit's all easier and makes more sense to cooperate with upstream IMO17:27
macoryan lortie17:27
ikoniaTm_Tr: mention that to the gnome team17:27
cdbsI would SURELY have attended UDS if I would have applied in time for sponsorship17:27
ikoniayou think a lot of yourself17:28
cdbsOthers with lesser contributions got accepted17:28
cdbsbrb17:28
Tm_Trikonia: surely depends on upstream, yes17:28
Tm_TrI think the core in this is the close ties between KDE and Kubuntu developers (they're often the same)17:29
Tm_Trrest follows I suppose17:30
ikoniaI'd like to better understand the decision making process and reasoning behind chosing unity for future releases.17:31
cdbsmaco: Another roadblock for us is that many upstreams (eg Nautilus) have declared that they won't be accepting patches this cycle17:35
ikoniawhy ?17:35
ikonia(why won't they accept patches)17:35
cdbsI have 2 patches awaiting commit in GIMP and 1 in Nautilus, both accepted in Ubuntu17:35
cdbsikonia: because they are busy migrating to GTK317:35
ikoniacdbs: right, so why don't ubuntu guys help with that ?17:35
cdbsikonia: its in Ubuntu17:35
ikoniahow can it be in ubuntu - but not be in upstream17:36
cdbsIts called Ubuntu delta17:36
cdbsit involvs modifying the Ubuntu package directly17:36
ikoniaso why hasn't that been done with upstream to stop two projects doing the same thing17:36
macocdbs: ikonia means why isnt ubuntu helping with gtk3 porting? are you saying ubuntu has already ported to gtk3?17:37
ikoniasorry, thats what I mean,17:37
cdbsmaco, ikonia: The thing is, Ubuntu Natty still contains GNOME 2.32 packages17:38
cdbswhich is the same as maverick17:38
ikoniawhy is that a problem ?17:38
cdbsThe 2.32 packages have been patched with the bugfix17:38
cdbsUpstream is on 2.9117:38
ikoniacan't you use 2.91 ?17:38
cdbswhich means they are in progress of the port17:38
cdbstoo unstable17:38
cdbsg2g17:38
ikoniaoh17:38
jpdsNow you see, stuff like this wouldn't happen if packages did not use cdbs.17:40
