james_wmhall119, hi, is it true that scopes have to depend on the lenses they are for?18:43
mhall119james_w: to be shown as add-ons on software center, they need to use the Enhances field in debian/control, with the lens package they enhance18:44
mhall119james_w: join #ayatana to discuss that more with us18:45
james_wmhall119, I have a developer that is saying that to submit a lens and scope to s-c they have to make the scope *depend* on the lens18:45
james_wwhich is against the rules of extras18:45
mhall119james_w: I don't think that's entirely accurate18:46
james_wI'm trying to find out if it is true before I push for an exception in the policy18:46
mhall119james_w: we have been told that lens packages will get some exceptions to rules like that18:46
AlanBellthat is an interesting point18:46
mhall119james_w: bring it up in #ayatana, davidcalle, didrocks and mtp have been talking about how to get lenses into USC properly18:47

jcastrohah18:47
AlanBellis the lens also in extras or is that in the main repos?18:47
jcastrolook at the brand name on the back of the tablet18:47
mhall119shuttlepad, awesome18:47
james_wAlanBell, extras I assume, or this wouldn't be coming up18:47
AlanBelljames_w: so it could depend on an existing lens, but things in extras can't depend on each other right?18:49
james_was it stands, yes18:49
popeyhahah19:36
jonojcastro, ok to chat soon?20:03
jcastrojono: yeah, sorry I missed your ping20:42
jcastromhall119: https://launchpad.net/~markjtully/+archive/ppa20:43
jcastrothis guy fixes lenses and puts them in a PPA20:43
jcastrowe should snag him too20:43
jcastrojono: I can go whenevs20:46
jonojcastro, ok about set20:54
jonojcastro, invite sent21:01
jcastroand I'm in!21:02
jonojcastro, I don't see you21:02
jcastrojono: bah that thread has no content about the actual status, just us coordinating to have a call about it21:40
jcastrowe did have a call a day or two before the holidays though21:41
jcastroso hopefully some progress has been made recently21:42
mhall119jcastro: I'm going to put together a "highlights reel" blog post to list all the lenses and scopes I'm aware of, do you know of any others?21:44
mhall119AlanBell: is your openerp lens code public?21:47
AlanBellnot right now because it has hardcoded connection details21:47
mhall119AlanBell: is it going to be at some point?21:48
AlanBellyes21:48
mhall119or can I get a screenshot? sanitized is okay21:48
AlanBellI would love to know the right way to do a lens that needs a bit of configuration and authentication21:48
mhall119AlanBell: me too, are you in #ayatana?21:48
AlanBellyes21:49
jcastromhall119: I know of this one: http://askubuntu.com/questions/38772/what-lenses-for-unity-are-available22:11
jcastrothere's one for indicators too22:11
jcastrowhich wouldn't be a bad thing to highlight/steal and put on unity.ubuntu.comn22:11
jcastromhall119: the snarky comment I said to mpt was "maybe we don't want to highlight indicators, it will just encourage people to make more."22:12
jcastrohah22:12
jcastroI used this often: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5720/whyappindicators%3F.png22:15
czajkowskiPendulum: http://lwn.net/Articles/473007/22:16
pleia2\o/22:17
AlanBelljcastro: can you point me at the spec for indicators22:18
AlanBellwant to see who needs slapping for the unlabled images at the top level22:18
jcastrohttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopExperienceTeam/ApplicationIndicators22:18
AlanBellbah, the spec is broken22:21
Pendulumczajkowski: yeah, that's been on my radar. I'm glad it made it into LWN :)22:23
AlanBellso from what I can see the indicators have no concept of their own name22:23
AlanBellthey are instantiated with app_indicator_new taking an id, an icon name (not readable) and a category (not unique) and there is no indicator name anywhere else22:24
AlanBelland if you use app_indicator_set_label then you get the string printed (like the clock) and can't supress that22:25
AlanBellindicator-messages kind of gets it right, there is an update_a11y_desc method that gets called in a few places and cruicially sets the description property of the image.22:41
AlanBellthis is one of those things that would be so much more consistent if it was baked into the spec22:42
AlanBelloh and it even changes from "Messages" to "New Messages" when you have mail22:44
mhall119jcastro: awesome example of why systray is bad22:54
mhall119AlanBell: have you looked at lenses from an accessibility perspective?22:57
AlanBellyeah, they say "button" a lot23:07
AlanBellbut generally are kind of navigable23:07
AlanBellsometimes they read odd numbers for the total number of results in a folded up category23:08
AlanBellI think the filters are hard to get to and some are not readable like the ratings filters23:08
AlanBellI think the most broken new feature being introduced in precise is the shortcuts overlay on long hold of the super key23:10
