[16:53] <joru> howdy, I was planning on getting to know packaging so i thought i'd join the photo team. is anyone here part of that?
[17:50] <jbicha> joru: I don't think that team is active, but you don't have to be on that team to help with photo app packaging
[18:03] <joru> jbicha: ok, well i thought it would be a good place to find ppl with same interests
[18:03] <joru> jbicha: and to start learning how to do it
[18:07] <joru> also saw that the mentorship mailinglist seemed quite dead
[18:07] <jbicha> well I recommend you look for a bitesize bug on harvest first and figure out how to fix it
[18:09] <joru> jbicha: yepp so I've understand too from all the how-to's etc i've read
[18:14] <tumbleweed> joru: 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)
[18:15] <joru> tumbleweed: 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?
[18:16] <tumbleweed> !a11y
[18:16] <tumbleweed> joru: ^ accessibility
[18:17] <joru> ah excellent
[18:18] <joru> one step in some learning direction =)
[18:18] <tumbleweed> ok, 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] <joru> tumbleweed: the general process and tools are similar
[18:18] <joru> i get the point
[18:19] <joru> =)
[18:19] <joru> well i havent looked into accessibilty msyelf either before
[18:21] <joru> but i might see what i can learn from this bitesize
[18:21] <joru> the goal is just as much the learning process itself as it is the fix
[23:16] <hakermania> tumbleweed, 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().
[23:19] <tumbleweed> hakermania: everything, but I'm not requiring you to do that, just noting that you probably should
[23:30] <hakermania> tumbleweed, 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 OK
[23:41] <hakermania> tumbleweed, 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/
[23:48] <tumbleweed> hakermania: sounds like it didn't have a shebang (and that question didn't need to be directed to me)
[23:49] <hakermania> tumbleweed, you suggested me using the postinst scirpt :O
[23:53] <jtaylor> you don't need update-desktop-database in postscripts
[23:53]  * tumbleweed told him that
[23:53] <jtaylor> debehlper does that for you
