joruhowdy, I was planning on getting to know packaging so i thought i'd join the photo team. is anyone here part of that?16:53
=== transitlogger is now known as apachelogger
jbichajoru: I don't think that team is active, but you don't have to be on that team to help with photo app packaging17:50
jorujbicha: ok, well i thought it would be a good place to find ppl with same interests18:03
jorujbicha: and to start learning how to do it18:03
jorualso saw that the mentorship mailinglist seemed quite dead18:07
jbichawell I recommend you look for a bitesize bug on harvest first and figure out how to fix it18:07
jorujbicha: yepp so I've understand too from all the how-to's etc i've read18:09
tumbleweedjoru: you'll find people with the same interests over time, but the skills required are common across all packages, so it doesn't matter too much what you start with (although it helps motivation if fix something that bugs you)18:14
jorutumbleweed: yes that is true. so say that i'd look into this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/772573  then i'd downlaod the unity source? what does is a11y stand for?18:15
ubottuUbuntu bug 772573 in unity (Ubuntu) "[a11y] Unity launcher buttons are not Actionable" [Medium,Triaged]18:15

ubottuInformation about the Ubuntu Accessibility Team can be found on the wiki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Accessibility or by joining #ubuntu-accessibility18:16
tumbleweedjoru: ^ accessibility18:16
joruah excellent18:17
joruone step in some learning direction =)18:18
tumbleweedok, maybe I should say *some* of the skills are common everywhere. I don't do much GUI stuff and have never improved the accessibility of anything :)18:18
jorutumbleweed: the general process and tools are similar18:18
jorui get the point18:18
joru=)18:19
joruwell i havent looked into accessibilty msyelf either before18:19
jorubut i might see what i can learn from this bitesize18:21
joruthe goal is just as much the learning process itself as it is the fix18:21

hakermaniatumbleweed, ok I have fixed all the issues except the system() ones, where I need more specification. I mean, i do error checking by checking the return code, also I'd like to ask you what could be done in C++ that I do via system().23:16
tumbleweedhakermania: everything, but I'm not requiring you to do that, just noting that you probably should23:19
hakermaniatumbleweed, I think the code is OK! It works, if it could be better I don't know, probably yes, as in every code around, but I think the quality is OK23:30
hakermaniatumbleweed, I got this: http://lintian.debian.org/tags/maintainer-script-lacks-debhelper-token.html but if I add it to the top of the postinst script and below from it the update-desktop-database I get error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/671346/23:41
tumbleweedhakermania: sounds like it didn't have a shebang (and that question didn't need to be directed to me)23:48
hakermaniatumbleweed, you suggested me using the postinst scirpt :O23:49
jtayloryou don't need update-desktop-database in postscripts23:53
* tumbleweed told him that23:53
jtaylordebehlper does that for you23:53
