[07:37] <noodles775> james_w: django-configglue certainly makes working with settings a lot easier (having a local.cfg to override, or overriding on the command-line etc.)
[08:11] <dpm> good morning everyone
[11:15] <jml> hi
[14:26] <james_w> morning
[15:08] <dpm> hey james_w, good morning!
[15:09] <james_w> hey dpm
[15:09] <james_w> how are you?
[15:09] <dpm> very well, thanks, how are things in Canada, is everything covered in snow already :)
[15:10] <james_w> mvo, hi, I played around with lp:~james-w/pkgme-binary/pdf-backend yesterday
[15:10] <james_w> dpm, yep :-)
[15:10] <james_w> well, only a light dusting so far
[15:11] <dpm> :)
[15:13] <james_w> jml, have you had a chance to look at https://code.launchpad.net/~james-w/pkgme-binary/stormify/+merge/84529 yet?
[15:15] <mvo> james_w: awsome!
[15:15] <mvo> james_w: lp:~mvo/+junk/deb2dsc may be interessting (but its really hacky)
[15:16] <james_w> mvo, it's untested as of yet, and doesn't match up with the way that the pdfs are currently packaged, but I think my way is better :-)
[15:16] <james_w> anyway, I'm pretty sure it is feasible to handle pdfs through pkgme as well
[15:16] <james_w> we're just lacking a bit of information coming from myapps I think
[15:17] <james_w> which is probably the case for apps as well
[15:17] <james_w> (to do a really good job I mean)
[15:17] <james_w> mvo, yeah, I was going to look at converting that this morning
[15:21] <jml> james_w: just then. sorry for delay. being a bit slack w/ email today.
[15:22] <james_w> np
[15:23] <james_w> jml, my recollection is that our care & feeding call was supposed to be weekly, and that I clearly forgot to make it a recurring event, am I misremembering?
[15:23] <jml> james_w: yes.
[15:23] <jml> james_w: sorry. No, you're not misremembering, you are correct.
[15:24] <james_w> jml, ok, want to go over it today?
[15:24] <jml> james_w: sure, why not?
[15:24] <mvo> james_w: just looked over the diff, seriously good stuff !
[15:24] <mvo> james_w: but misses a test ;)
[15:25] <james_w> mvo, yeah yeah :-)
[15:25] <mvo> (says m'test-slacker'vo)
[15:25] <mvo> (cool how simple tihs looks)
[15:27] <james_w> well, it's untested, so I can make it as simple as I want if it doesn't have to work :-)
[15:46] <james_w> mvo, lp:~james-w/pkgme-binary/dotdeb-backend
[15:46] <james_w> mvo, it ports about half your script over to pkgme
[15:47] <james_w> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~james-w/pkgme-binary/dotdeb-backend/files/head:/devportalbinary/backends/dotdeb/
[15:49] <jml> woo
[15:49] <mvo> james_w: you are *fast* :)
[15:50] <mvo> james_w: the half that is good, right? that is what is ported - the bad half got rewriten
[15:53] <marw> do you now any good tutorials about application indicators in ubuntu 11+ (python)? (c/p from beginners-dev)
[15:55] <james_w> mvo, I just ported a random half :-)
[15:56] <james_w> I think what is there would produce a working package, but not a replica of the input
[15:56] <james_w> the README lists some missing things
[15:56] <mvo> james_w: looking at the diff I'm impressed yet again how simple this is, changelog should be striaghtforward to grab and copyright too (assuming its a sensible deb that puts it into the right spot) maintainer I guess we could simply use the contact from myapps (does that make sense?). and maintainer scripts make me wince as we get the expanded debehlper scripts of course, but *shrug* we can't get it to prefect
[15:56] <mvo> james_w: yeah, just looking over the diff :)
[15:57] <james_w> changelog> that's a bit of an anomoly in pkgme right now, as it doesn't quite work like everything else in the debian directory
[15:57] <james_w> copyright is easy, yes
[15:57] <james_w> maintainer> contact would work, or just take the one from the .deb
[15:57]  * mvo nods
[15:57] <james_w> maintainer scripts> that's the tricky part of this approach I think
[15:57] <mvo> yeah, I guess you are right
[18:15] <Cas> hi does anyone know what changed to python in oneiric that would break the namespace for our plugins
[18:24] <seanbright> i hope this is the correct forum - i am trying the example code at http://kalmbach.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/gtk-3-0-client-side-theme/ (i've also tried this in my own application and failed) but under a standard desktop install of oneiric, there is no affect at all
[20:21] <dpm> seanbright, if there is no one who can help you at this time, you might want to try on http://askubuntu.com/questions/ask?tags=application-development
