ScottKRiddell: I think the PyQt4 bug is back to ask upstream.01:46
MacSealhi,how to change the range of sizes in dolphin? only view in KiB, don't in GiB, MiB, etc..... kde 4.805:50
ScottKI'd ask in #kde.05:52
ScottKIt's not Kubuntu specific.05:52
MacSealok,thank06:02
RiddellScottK: the segfaulting bug?09:16
RiddellScottK: if I recompile pykde then it no longer segfaults09:18
Riddellit does crash but maybe that's my chroot without running dbus09:18
Riddellso maybe there has been a SIP ABI change and we didn't update the magic debian stuff to manage that09:18
Riddelltesters needed running precise and i386, is software-properties-kde running or segfaulting? try these and say if it's still running/segfaulting http://people.canonical.com/~jriddell/tmp/pykde/09:22

debfxRiddell: rebuilding pykde4 fixes the crash11:22
debfxthough I have no idea why11:25
Riddelldebfx: so it sounds like the SIP ABI changed11:26
Riddelland debian has a way of handling that similar to binary ABI changes11:26
Riddellsome number needs bumped in the package I think11:26
debfxexcept it hasn't11:27
yofelwell, too late for that now, unless you force-downgrade the current binary package11:27
debfxpython-qt4 and pykde4 have been built against the same sip4 version11:28
yofelwait, true11:28
yofelmicahg: do you know how xubuntu sets the gtk3 theme?11:29
debfxI guess the problem is that pykde4 has been built against python-qt4 4.9-2ubuntu1 and there were code changes in u2 and u311:31
Riddellso ABI change in pyqt?  I don't know if there's a mechanism to handle that11:31
Riddellbesides "oh it's crashing, we need a recompile"11:32
Riddellis there anything else might need a recompile?  qscintilla?11:32
debfxoh wait python-qt4 has been built against qt 4.7 so that might be the problem11:33
debfxpython-qt4 4.9-2ubuntu1 that is11:33
Riddellcould be although I wouldn't expect that should change things, qt is ment to be backwards compatible11:34
* debfx wouldn't be surprised considering how fragile these python bindings are11:34
Riddelldebfx: do you want to/are you able to throw things up to recompile them so they're ready for alpha 2?11:36
debfxRiddell: can do. I'll also upload qt4 later11:39

ScottKThe build finished two hours ago so it should be hitting your mirror ~soon depending on how much it lags by.15:22

ScottKdebfx: Thanks for fixing.  That would have been a very bad one to go into Alpha 2 with.15:28

bambeeRiddell: yes I know that , but are you the only one ? :)15:48
Riddellbambee: quite possibly, KDE has a decent showing but Ubuntu and Kubuntu have not in the past15:49
RiddellUbuntu looks like it will have more this year15:49

barryRiddell: saw the rebuild.  i can test locally again in a bit16:10
ScottKbarry: There's lots of confirmation it's fine now.16:11
barryScottK: cool16:11
RiddellScottK: who's confirmed?  have they checked any other packages that build-dep on pyqt?16:12
ScottKThere are unfortunately a lot of of "%If (Qt_4_8_0 -)" in the PyQt4 code.16:12
ScottKRiddell: I thought people had confirmed pykde was OK after rebuild.16:12
RiddellScottK: locally yes but worth checking for the archive too16:13
ScottKTrue.16:14
ScottKRiddell: I think one of the %If (Qt_4_8_0 -)'s introduced a binary incompatibility that it would be best to discuss with upstream and resolve.  Somewhere in sip/QtCore I would guess.16:16
yofeldo we even have another binary package that needs pyqt?16:19
ScottK"We" Kubuntu, probably not, "We" the Ubuntu project, tons.16:20
yofelreally? if I look at the rdepends of python-qt4 I see python apps, those don't *link* against pyqt, only use it16:20
Riddellyofel: I don't know16:21
Riddellqwt?  qscintilla? only things that come to mind16:21
RiddellScottK: that seems likely, I don't have time to take that up with upstream now though16:21

RiddellDarkwing: ask me after alpha 2 next week :)22:20
DarkwingRiddell: Once Alpha 2 is dropped I'll be installing it.22:20
Steve132Riddell: No, I'm saying A) that that blog post seems to imply that QT Designer is natively inside KDevelop.  I did a BUNCH of research, but all I can find anywhere on the internet is that -extra-plugins svn link, but I can't seem to actually check out that directory from the svn and there's no tutorial on how to build plugins and its not in any package manager22:20
Steve132and nobody else seems to have heard of any of them22:21
RiddellSteve132: did you ask in #kdevelop ?22:21
Steve132Yeah, I didn't mean to spam this here, but my first interest was in trying to figure out if it was possible to install through the package manager22:21
Steve132And yeah I did ask in #kdevelop but they're kinda a ghost forum22:22
Riddellif it's part of the default kdevelop then we do package it, else we probably don't22:23
Steve132Honestly, if one of you would explain how to checkout stuff anonymously from that svn dir, and explain the packaging pipeline, I wouldn't mind attempting to build it and making a package out of it22:23
Steve132for Kubunut22:23
Steve132*KUbuntu22:23
Riddellthere is a new version 2.4.81 so maybe you need that22:24

Steve132to the anonsvn22:28
Steve132so I was able to check it out22:28
Steve132if I get them to build do you want me to submit a kdevelop4-extra-plugins package somehow?  I'm sorta unfamiliar with that process22:29
Steve132but I'd be willing to help22:29
Riddellyes that would be great if it's suitable for packaging22:30
Riddellmeaning if it's stable enough and upstream consider it ready22:30
Riddellpackaging takes a few hours to learn, there's various tutorials and people in here will be willing to help if you catch one of us at a good time22:31
Riddellor just file a needs-packaging bug22:31

Steve132but, ok22:32
Steve132how do I file a needs-packaging bug?22:33
Riddellthat's a good start for packaging :)22:33
Steve132I also know CMake really well22:33
Riddelllaunchpad.net/ubuntu and report a bug on "ubuntu" with needs-packaging in the title (or maybe it's a needs-packaging tag)22:33
Steve132and build from source regularly...I just don't know how to make metadata or specify dependancies or create .debs22:34
yofeltitled "[needs-packaging] <package>" and tagged needs-packaging22:35
Riddelldebian packaging takes adding a debian/ directory to the source with a bunch of files in it that do various tasks, and learning the commands to build the package and upload it etc22:35
