[15:51] <ScottL> micahg, when you are available i would like to ask you some logistic questions about transitioning the -settings files
[15:52] <ScottL> heh, i suppose i could just ask now and you can answer whenever you get back actually
[15:54] <ScottL> since you are going redo the meta packages i think using the same structure as xubuntu would be most advantageous for sustainaibility
[15:55] <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?
[15:56] <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?
[16:14] <shnatsel> ScottL: metapackages are generated from seeds and seeds structure probably will be dictated by workflows
[16:15] <shnatsel> ScottL: if we are going to show workflows instead of categories in the installer, of course
[16:32] <ScottL> shnatsel, i know, but micah and i had a talk about how to structure the theme and settings transition
[16:33] <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
[16:34] <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
[16:35] <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
[16:39] <shnatsel> we use default-settings and artwork in elementary too
[17:04] <ScottL> i presume the changes in studio were incremental and without holistic consideration and therefore fragmented packages were created as needed
[17:05] <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
[17:07] <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:)
[17:08] <ScottL> hehe
