JontheEchidnaI got the path to libqapt messed up for when it was in playground :<00:00
JontheEchidnaI specified playground/sysadmin instead of playground/libs00:00
JontheEchidnaI had run the svn-all-fast-export thingy but it only went back to kdereview00:01

jjesseany fun commits?03:33
DarkwingDuckNot yet. I'm finishing things off with 10.10 before I jump into 11.04 but, I think I'm going to switch gears into 11.04 03:38
DarkwingDuckThen finish up 10.10 once we know that 11.04 if finished.03:39
jjessewhat do you mean by finish up 10.10?03:40
DarkwingDuck10.10 never got updated.03:42

DarkwingDuckYeah03:45
DarkwingDuckOnly reason I'm worried about it is because it is our LTS03:45
jjesse?03:45
DarkwingDuckand if any docs should get backported it should be the LTS release.03:45

ScottKFor now could you just move them over in debian/rules?16:01

JontheEchidnaoh, globalmenus16:54
agateauJontheEchidna: I am confident this is because plasma-widget-menubar 0.1.14 has not been packaged yet16:57

yofelask in #ubuntu-devel rather I think, or file a bug19:00

ximionfiling a bug seems sane - I wonder why nobody noticed that... (nobody uses Anjuta *g*)19:01

ubottuLaunchpad bug 703996 in anjuta (Ubuntu) "anjuta: impossible to install - unsolved dependency" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/70399619:04
ximionJontheEchidna: hi :)19:06
JontheEchidnaximion: hello19:07
ximionJontheEchidna: You're the author of QApt and Muon, right?19:07
JontheEchidnaximion: yep19:07
ximionJontheEchidna: Would it - just theoretically - be possible to replace the QApt daemon with the PackageKit daemon? If not, why?19:08
JontheEchidnayou mean for the installation bits?19:09
ximionyes, I mean just for all the stuff which needs superuser rights (installations etc.) - everything which invokes the daemon.19:09
JontheEchidnait would take a bit of work to change over to the PackageKit DBus api, but I suppose it would be possible in theory19:10
JontheEchidnaI don't see why you'd want to make one package management library depend on another thoguh19:10
ximionJontheEchidna: PK is an abstraction framework for package management (you knew that :P) I maintain PK in Debian and I'm contributor to it. We had this idea once to unify all the APTDaemon, PackagKit and QApt-Daemon stuff in just one library.19:13
JontheEchidnaI would not mind a single daemon to do such things.19:13
ximionso, if you have PK frontends (Apper/GPK) Muon and several other package management tools running, you just get one daemon started, with an excellent implementation of APT19:14
JontheEchidnaI don't want to use APTDaemon's, though, because then I'd have to have LibQApt depend on python-apt. Basically what I'm saying is that I would want the worker to use libapt-pkg directly19:15
ximionPK and its backend bases on C/C++ (I'm also a bit antipathetic to this Python stuff)19:16
ximionI thought you developed QApt-Daemon because the PK API was insufficient or something...19:16
JontheEchidnaThat was before it supported debconf at all. That was a major factor, but I also don't like how it has to fetch info over dbus to browse packages19:17
JontheEchidnaAPT is very fast because it has a binary package cache it maps to memory19:17
ximionour suggestion is only to send actions which need to be queued or need root access over dbus to PK19:18
JontheEchidnayeah, none of these complaints are with the installation API19:19
ximionso we can perform fast searches by using APT directly and also get the full range of PK benefits.19:19
JontheEchidnaBut doesn't the entire backend run as the daemon?19:19
ximionthe search API is extremely slow, cause you always have to reopen the cache... but since pk is transaction-based, it's an issue which cannot be solved, unfortunately.19:20
ximionthe packagekit daemon loads the backend, which is a shared library.19:20
ximionso its application -> pk-daemon(apt) not app -> pk-daemon -> apt-daemon19:21
ximionif I got this right :P19:21
JontheEchidnaso it's like this? application ->pk-daemon -> aptcc library -> dpkg19:22
ximionyep19:22
ximionbtw: the apt backend will be dropped next time and aptcc will become the new apt backend (and will be extended to support some "missing" features)19:22
JontheEchidnathat's a lot of what I don't like about PackageKit. Since it has to accomodate every packaging system ever, the abstraction layer makes it hard to integrate well with the system you want19:23
JontheEchidnafor example, the search API has to be generalized, so you don't get to make use of APT's memory-mapped package cache effectively19:24
JontheEchidnaI think it would be good to have a unified installation API, but I have serious doubts about the "read-only" bits of the API19:25
ximionthat's why we don't want to use PK for "power tools" in Debian.19:25
JontheEchidnaand why I made Muon :)19:25
ximionyou might want to join #packagekit and ask hughsie for API changes - of there's a good reason for it and other backends support the feature too, he normally agrees to change the stuff.19:26
ximionI always tried to persuade dantti to make a _separate_ UI for the application installer instead of merging it into the KPackageKit main window...19:28
JontheEchidnayeah. that19:28
JontheEchidnathat's always been my biggest peeve with the Ubuntu Software Center too19:28
JontheEchidnathey're trying to make it a replacement for both Synaptic and Gnome App Install19:29
JontheEchidnawhen you can suit both groups of users so much better if there are two GUIs19:29
ximionthe Muon Software Center looks great, while Apper is neither a power-user tool nor a full user-centric tool. (But I use Apper, since I'm a PK enthusiast and it covers all daily-life user-cases)19:29
ximionunfortunately dantti persuaded hughsie to do the same for GNOME, I don't know with which argument.. need to ask him next time ^^19:30
JontheEchidnahehe19:30
ximionthere are a few debian-related pk issues left: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=packagekit19:34
ximionbut the'll all be solved with a better APT backend.19:34
ximionbtw: what I mentioned is no fixed strategy, just an idea by two apt developers, dantti and me.19:35
ximionso it might change completely :P19:35
ximion(but I don't think so, cause it could be a sane solution to have the global package manager and Debian/Ubuntu comfort at the same time)19:36
JontheEchidnawell I'm for a global daemon for admin-needing actions just as long as it doesn't add any new dependencies past the daemon itself19:36
JontheEchidnaoh, I've been meaning to mention this to dantti since I saw it affected aptcc too: https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/sysadmin/libqapt/repository/revisions/ef91f217549785af15c38c558d38eb42cbdc8e5619:38
ximionit does not. pk is very lighweight, just sqlite, dbus, glib19:39
JontheEchidnawhy does it need sqlite? O_o19:39
ximionexcellent question! eh... don't know exactly, but pk has a feature to freeze transactions when a laptop goes standby or has low battery. then it saves transactions in a sqlite db.19:41
ximion(but I did not take a closer look at this yet)19:41
ximionhttp://packages.debian.org/sid/packagekit19:41
ximion(pinned a mark to ask dantti if he git that patch)19:42
JontheEchidnaI would think that apt/dpkg really wouldn't support that... I have muon inhibit suspension during commits19:42
JontheEchidnabecause once you are committing, you really can't stop it19:42
ximionneed to ask hughsie about this stuff... stumbled upon the code while hacking PkTransaction and the helper stuff for Debconf and Listaller support, I just guessed what it does.19:43
ximion(but I think someone said this some time ago)19:44
* ximion is away to fetch some food :)19:44
* ximion is back20:04
JontheEchidnaI find comments like these funny: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/?content=13750720:43
JontheEchidnaHe wouldn't be complaining if there was just a single muon package that was 2 MiB big :P20:43
debfxJontheEchidna: he probably just wants to motivate you to package muon for debian ;)21:17
JontheEchidna;)21:17
JontheEchidnaActually I think somebody has packages on mentors.d.o21:17
JontheEchidnaI'd like to maintain debian packages, but I don't really have the resources to run a separate debian box21:18
