| ari-tczew | hi benonsoftware | 01:39 |
| benonsoftware | Hi | 01:39 |
| benonsoftware | Question: What happens when we have finsihed reading https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing ? | 01:41 |
| benonsoftware | 01:41 | |
| ari-tczew | benonsoftware: start contribution? ;-) | 01:42 |
| benonsoftware | Have any ideas on what? | 01:42 |
| micahg | benonsoftware: does anything appeal to you out of the lists of contributions? | 01:42 |
| benonsoftware | Another Question: What does Preparing New Packages mean? | 01:44 |
| micahg | benonsoftware: creating Debian packaging for some piece of software from sctract | 01:45 |
| micahg | *scratch | 01:45 |
| benonsoftware | How would I do that? | 01:45 |
| micahg | benonsoftware: the packaging guide describes how to do that, but I'd suggest starting with something easier | 01:46 |
| benonsoftware | Do you have a idea? | 01:46 |
| micahg | benonsoftware: well, what's your background? | 01:46 |
| benonsoftware | python | 01:49 |
| micahg | benonsoftware: you could fix open bugs in python packages | 01:50 |
| benonsoftware | Ok. | 01:55 |
| benonsoftware | Know any good packages to start of with micahg ? | 01:55 |
| micahg | benonsoftware: well, I always suggest stuff that you're running | 01:56 |
| benonsoftware | What packages do you like that are in Python? | 01:58 |
| micahg | idk, I'm still learning python | 02:01 |
| benonsoftware | Where are you learning it from micahg ? | 02:02 |
| micahg | nowhere in particular, was told to use the python documentation as a guide | 02:02 |
| benonsoftware | OK | 02:03 |
| Jadoo1989 | Python books are notoriously crappy. | 02:04 |
| benonsoftware | I've heard | 02:04 |
| benonsoftware | Even C++/C books are great as door stops | 02:05 |
| Jadoo1989 | I like some C books. C Primer Plus was a great book | 02:05 |
| benonsoftware | I had Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days. | 02:06 |
| benonsoftware | 21 hours later... | 02:06 |
| benonsoftware | Using it as a door stop. | 02:06 |
| Jadoo1989 | Haha | 02:06 |
| Jadoo1989 | theres a C++ version, called C++ Primer Plus, I believe | 02:06 |
| Jadoo1989 | not sure if it is of the same quality as the C book. | 02:07 |
| benonsoftware | I hate the in 21 days books. | 02:07 |
| Jadoo1989 | I never used them. Sounds too much like a gimmick | 02:07 |
| micahg | benonsoftware: you could look at the build failures here and see if you can fix any of the ones in the python packages: http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/ftbfs/oneiric.html | 02:08 |
| benonsoftware | Do any of you know what GCC is built with? | 02:11 |
| benonsoftware | Proberly C> :) | 02:11 |
| micahg | gcc is built with gcc :) | 02:11 |
| benonsoftware | What? | 02:11 |
| benonsoftware | So what is it built with? | 02:13 |
| micahg | gcc | 02:17 |
| Jadoo1989 | gcc is written in C. | 02:17 |
| micahg | and c++ these days | 02:18 |
| Jadoo1989 | eah | 02:19 |
| Jadoo1989 | for some front ends | 02:19 |
| Jadoo1989 | i believe | 02:19 |
| benonsoftware | What's Eah? | 02:20 |
| Jadoo1989 | my y key is dodgy | 02:21 |
| Jadoo1989 | so it should say yeah | 02:21 |
| benonsoftware | What version of Python should I use for MOTU | 05:34 |
| benonsoftware | So what version should I use then? | 05:38 |
| benonsoftware | HI all. | 06:47 |
| bones_ | does anyone here do notify-osd programming? | 09:11 |
| benonsoftware | What? | 09:16 |
| tumbleweed | bones_: #ubuntu-desktop or #ayatana people are probably more likely to be familiar with it. | 09:19 |
| Jadoo1989 | oops | 09:51 |
| Jadoo1989 | accidentally left | 09:51 |
| Jadoo1989 | :P | 09:51 |
| benonsoftware | Just like me ;p | 09:57 |

| EvilPhoenix | is there a specific MOTU I should talk to regarding arranging a class session on Ubuntu Packaging? Specifically, I'd like to arrange for an MOTU to run a session somewhere about the REVU process for getting apps into a release's repos | 18:36 |
| tumbleweed | EvilPhoenix: we recommend new packages go via Debian where possible. Debian's stronger maintainership may help packages from being neglected, and generally it brings the package to a wider audience | 18:55 |

| micahg | wow, gnash has 454 build-deps... | 23:42 |
| Laney | lucas: i'd like to link to the UDD schema - could you trigger a manual update so that the new tables show up? | 23:54 |
| Laney | btw you probably want to flip only-recent again | 23:55 |
