AnimentalHola!03:54
=== ochosi_ is now known as ochosi
charlie-tcaGood morning14:30
holsteincharlie-tca: o/14:54
holsteinim excited about ubuntustudio using XFCE :)14:55
charlie-tcaholstein: I am too. I think that is a good move for ubuntustudio15:13
holsteinagreed15:18
holsteinwe are being met with some negativity from the ubuntustudio community15:18
ochosiholstein: what are the main concerns?15:18
charlie-tcaThat will always be the case. There are those who still insist Ubuntu should include gnome2 in 11.10, too15:19
holsteinchange in general15:19
charlie-tcaThey don't seem to realize gnome3 is replacing gnome 2 and is a major change to it15:19
holsteinmost seem to be unaware that gnome2 is EOL15:19
ochosimhm15:19
ochosiholstein: do you plan to switch to xfce-apps as well? (as in: replace nautilus with thunar etc.)15:19
holsteinochosi: thats the idea15:20
ochosiright15:20
holstein*we hope to get away with that15:20
charlie-tcaochosi: using Xubuntu as the base instead of Ubuntu15:20
holsteintheres no reason why we cant15:20
holsteini think we are checking for dependancies that might want/need nautilus15:20
ochosiyeah, tbh feature-wise i'm not concerned with gnome2 vs. xfce15:20
charlie-tcaAs I see it, it will greatly simplify the way it is put together15:20
holsteinor some other component that would want to pull gnome in15:20
pleia2charlie-tca: so, according to the latest email from IS we can't actually use the staging site for staging our theme16:40
charlie-tcayeah, I saw that. Maybe I don't understand what staging is?16:40
pleia2looks like we'll need to set up our own instance and do our development there :\16:40
pleia2I think *they* don't understand what staging is16:40
charlie-tcaIt seems like they are using it as a pre-approval site only, instead of a place where the user can build and play before making the site real16:41
pleia2yeah16:41
pleia2now both knome and I have resources to run our own, but if we knew we couldn't use staging for staging we would have done this months ago, and it's kinda annoying :)16:41
charlie-tcaI agree. 16:42
charlie-tcaIt seems really backward to have to work this way16:42
pleia2yeah16:42
charlie-tcaI was going to try and push it, but I am afraid of losing it completely by making them angry16:44
charlie-tcaThey are slow enough to respond. No point making it worse16:45
pleia2agreed16:45
pleia2I'll set up a test instance, but probably not today, need to get over demotivation from this disappointment first :)16:45
charlie-tcaIt is really frustrating though, since we could have built several test sites already16:46
pleia2yeah16:46
PjotrHello, I'm a member of the upstream Dutch translation team for Xfce. Recently, RawChid spoke to mr_pouit about transferring critically improved Dutch translations of Xfce 4.8, to the updates of Xubuntu 11.04.18:33
Pjotrmr_pouit then advised to make a separate bug report on Launchpad, for each newly translated Xfce package. I've done that a week ago. mr_pouit is not here, it seems.... can somebody else inform me about the progress in this matter? :-)18:33
micahgPjotr: I haven't seen the bugs, but the process would be, get the new translations in the versions in oneiric, then you can SRU them to natty18:34
PjotrHow can I get them in oneiric? They are now here:  https://translations.xfce.org/projects/p/xfce/r/xfce-4-8/l/nl/18:35
charlie-tcaThey will come into oneiric when we sync the packages shortly18:39
charlie-tcaThen we will push them back into natty, normally18:39
charlie-tcaBy having the bugs, we won't forget them18:39
PjotrOK, sounds great.... when will the next sync happen?18:40
charlie-tcaI don't have dates, but I belioe18:41
charlie-tcaI believe it is in progress now, so should be within a week or two18:41
micahgautosync is happening from Debian, so I assume Debian is packaging these new versions18:42
charlie-tcaThat's the normal route. If mr_pouit sees they are not up to date, he packages to Debian and then syncs the packages18:42
Pjotrcharlie-tca: That's pretty quickly. And how long do you think it'll take after that, to push back the translations into natty?18:43
charlie-tcaI don't really have a timeframe for that. 18:44
charlie-tcaAlpha1 is june 2, so the sync has to happen soon18:44
micahg? what does one have to do with the otehr18:45
Pjotrcharlie-tca: maybe you can give a rough estimate for the push back into natty? 18:45
charlie-tcaUsually want the latest stuff in the first milestone, if possible18:45
charlie-tcaPjotr: can't even begin to guess18:45
micahgis there a list of bugs?18:46
charlie-tcahttps://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78103918:46
ubottuUbuntu bug 781039 in exo (Ubuntu) "Critically improved Dutch translation available upstream" [Undecided,New]18:46
Pjotrmicahg: I can provide it, if you have a moment...18:46
micahgPjotr: or just give me your LP id name and I can see which bugs you reported :)18:47
charlie-tcaThat should have most of the packages attached18:47
micahgPjotr: nm, got it18:47
Pjotrthis is my Launchpad ID: https://launchpad.net/~computertip18:48
micahgso, we have 13 packages to update18:49
PjotrYup, I've been pretty busy... :P18:50
charlie-tca:-)18:50
micahgso, if mr_pouit gets this into Debian, we can sync them over into Ubuntu and then get them into Natty18:51
PjotrI've tried contacting mr_pouit through his Launchpad account, but received no response yet18:52
PjotrI have to go now. Thanks for your answers. I trust the matter is in good hands. :-)18:54
charlie-tcaThanks for those bugs.18:55
scott-workhi charlie-tca , just wanted to make sure you were aware that ubuntu studio is strongly considering moving to xfce as the DE18:55
charlie-tcaThanks. Yes, and I think it would be a good move for ubuntustudio19:01
charlie-tcaWe will try to give you whatever help we can if you do it.19:01
holsteincharlie-tca: thanks19:01
holsteinhopefully, it can be a pooling of resources at some point19:03
holsteinas the US team grows19:03
charlie-tcascott-work: I think it might be easier than trying to tie in Unity, too19:03
scott-workcharlie-tca: i expect the same as well19:04
scott-workand thanks :)19:04
charlie-tcaGood luck! Oneiric promises to be interesting either way19:04
scott-workcharlie-tca: it certainly does, ubuntu studio has several substanital improvements in process, i hope we can sucessfully complete them19:56
charlie-tcaAs a non-leader, let me know if I can help out. Not a developer/packager, but I can do testing and bugs if you need help with them?19:57
charlie-tcaI can't speak for Xubuntu on that, but for myself, I would be happy to lend a hand19:58
micahgcharlie-tca: non-leader?19:59
charlie-tcabad words. non-leader == individually, not as Xubuntu 19:59
charlie-tcabrain still not back from UDS19:59
scott-worklol, thank you charlie-tca, that is very gratious of you and greatly appreciated :)20:04
scott-workthere is discussion about getting the faenza icon set into the repos for use, but i don't know how this would look within xfce20:05
charlie-tcaJust want help here and there20:05
scott-workdoes anyone have an opinion about it?20:05
charlie-tcaI thought faenza was already in the universe20:05
charlie-tcafaenza-icon-theme20:06
charlie-tcaWe looked at it for Natty, but decided it was not quite right. Elementary was a better fit.20:07
charlie-tcascott-work: ochosi did quite of bit of work with faenza, but is not around right now20:08
scott-workcharlie-tca: oh!  that might be really, really good then, but i'll look at elementary as well20:12
scott-workbut it still looks like faenza might only be available in PPA :(20:16
charlie-tcahm, maybe I got the ppa enabled then20:17
micahgcharlie-tca: looks like it, I can't see it in the archive20:18
charlie-tcaedubuntu was looking at faenza too20:18
charlie-tcanope20:19
charlie-tcait is in main for natty20:19
micahgcharlie-tca: pkg name?20:19
charlie-tcafaenza-icon-theme20:19
micahgcharlie-tca: nope20:19
charlie-tcaversion 0.720:19
micahgcharlie-tca: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+search?search_type=source&text=faenza20:20
charlie-tcait shows in synaptic as component :  main20:20
micahgcharlie-tca: all PPA packages are in main (public ones at least)20:20
charlie-tcacrap20:21
charlie-tcai give up. looks like I got too many ppa's now20:22
micahgcharlie-tca: apt-cache policy foo will tell you where it's from20:22
charlie-tcaThis theme is still under development.20:22
charlie-tca100 /var/lib/dpkg/status20:23
charlie-tcalast line for apt-cache20:23
micahgcharlie-tca: the only source shown?20:23
charlie-tcano source given for it20:23
micahgah, yeah, then the repo was disabled at some point or it was deleted from th erepo20:23
charlie-tcaeven better!20:24
