[04:35] <hyperair> does anyone know what's the difference between gir1.0 and gir1.2 packages?
[04:35] <hyperair> it seems all the natty things are named gir1.2, and all the maverick things are named gir1.0
[04:36] <hyperair> e.g. is there something special to be done while backporting libu1, or can i just sed -i -e s/gir1.2/gir1.0/?
[07:30] <geser> hyperair: IIRC only the ABI changed
[07:32] <geser> hyperair: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-December/032293.html for gir1.0 → gir1.2, undoing it should work
[07:44] <hyperair> geser: ah, okay, thanks.
[07:44] <hyperair> geser: do you know if it's safe to backport glib to maverick and prior ubuntus?
[07:45] <geser> sorry, no idea
[07:45] <hyperair> ah, nevermind then, thanks anywya.
[09:22] <kklimonda> hyperair: I've backported 2.28.2 to lucid, and it worked fine
[09:23] <hyperair> kklimonda: ooh, that works?
[09:23] <hyperair> okay, let's try this then
[09:23] <kklimonda> hyperair: bah, wait
[09:24] <kklimonda> I think I've actually done more than just backporting it
[09:24] <kklimonda> (I've just checked the changelog)
[09:24] <hyperair> kklimonda: hm?
[09:24] <hyperair> kklimonda: hmm, do you have the package in some ppa i can copy from?
[09:24] <kklimonda> sure, https://launchpad.net/~kklimonda/+archive/evo232/+packages
[09:26] <kklimonda> what I actually did was to copy debian directory from lucid, update it with patches from natty, and release the resulting package.
[09:26] <hyperair> that sounds dirty
[09:26] <hyperair> but i guess it works
[09:26] <hyperair> were there any issues?
[09:27] <kklimonda> none that I recall, Gtk+ devs put a lot of work to keep ABI stable in both ways.
[09:29] <hyperair> nice.
[12:44] <ayan> in natty, how do i specify which parameters are passed to programs started from the unity launcher?
[12:44] <ayan> in particular, i'd like to start chrome in incognito mode.
[13:10] <gord> ayan, you would have to modify your chrome .desktop file to pass the parameter

[15:39]  * ayan waves.
[18:57] <dupondje> somebody here on Gnome 3 ?
[18:58]  * Tommeh is at work
[18:58] <Tommeh> But I'm not at work, right now
