| ScottL | micahg, when you are available i would like to ask you some logistic questions about transitioning the -settings files | 15:51 |
|---|---|---|
| ScottL | heh, i suppose i could just ask now and you can answer whenever you get back actually | 15:52 |
| ScottL | since you are going redo the meta packages i think using the same structure as xubuntu would be most advantageous for sustainaibility | 15:54 |
| ScottL | to do this i would in essence be completely replacing the current ubuntustudio-default-settings package, replacing it with xubuntu-default-settings package, and modifying setting/replacing images | 15:55 |
| ScottL | the question is: is there a preferred way to do this? | 15:55 |
| ScottL | should i start with ubuntustudio-default-settings, rm everything, bzr remove everything, then add xubuntu-default-settings, and finally bzr add the new stuff? | 15:56 |
| ScottL | another way? | 15:56 |
| shnatsel | ScottL: metapackages are generated from seeds and seeds structure probably will be dictated by workflows | 16:14 |
| shnatsel | ScottL: if we are going to show workflows instead of categories in the installer, of course | 16:15 |
| ScottL | shnatsel, i know, but micah and i had a talk about how to structure the theme and settings transition | 16:32 |
| ScottL | xubuntu uses basically two packages; -default-settings and -artwork while ubuntustudio has more parse out into multiple packages | 16:33 |
| ScottL | if we just went with the xubuntu structure, this would require adjusting the seeds to remove the "extra" ubuntustudio packages | 16:33 |
| ScottL | and require someone to rebuild the metas | 16:33 |
| ScottL | micah suggested parsing the xubuntu-default-settings into the applicable ubuntu studio packages (-default-settings, -icon-theme, -look, etc) | 16:34 |
| ScottL | which would avoid having to rebuild the metas at this time and also distribute the changes across multiple daily images | 16:34 |
| ScottL | but since he is going to touch the meta anyway for another issue, then i wanted to do the quicker and more easily (i believe) maintained wholesale switch to the xubuntu-default-settings structure | 16:35 |
| shnatsel | we use default-settings and artwork in elementary too | 16:39 |
| ScottL | i presume the changes in studio were incremental and without holistic consideration and therefore fragmented packages were created as needed | 17:04 |
| ScottL | doesn't mean this is wrong or bad, it's just how i _think_ it happened | 17:05 |
| ScottL | but i would really prefer to keep it as close to xubuntu for easier maintainability | 17:05 |
| knome | the good thing with one larger package is that once you get a freeze exception, you can slip in other changes more easily too | 17:07 |
| knome | O:) | 17:07 |
| ScottL | hehe | 17:08 |
