cweber10bkerensa; i think we made a monster in the good way Winny is getting everyone in her group to do a bug :p00:13
WindipityHaha, How did you know that?00:17
cweber10Windipity: i said in a good way :p00:19
cweber10o/ Lacy00:21
lcollins07Hey at least spell my name right00:21
cweber10what me spell right you have to be kidding00:22
lcollins07haha guess I should have known better lol00:23
slangasekbkerensa: the BTS is being generally slow for me it seems :)00:23
slangasekbkerensa: (my forward didn't show up on the bug yet either)00:23
bkerensaslangasek: yeah but its now been two hours :)00:29
bkerensaslangasek: Im not very optimistic about this bug anyways because now Debian wants me to forward it further upstream00:29
bkerensa:(00:29
WindipityEddie found a bug that seems to be a comment, maybe good for the wishlist. How do we take care of it? Bug #19687400:29
lubotu1Launchpad bug 196874 in xscorch (Ubuntu) "Modified .desktop for easier use with submenus" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19687400:29
bkerensaWidipity: You might ask someone on #ubuntu-bugs to look at it who is on the control team so they can wishlist it.00:31
bkerensaI dont have bug-control privileges yet because I have not resubmitted my app to bdmurray and co00:32
WindipityThank you, I will forward that information on.00:32
bdmurrayOne thing to do would be to check if the .desktop file for xscorch has changed at all00:33
bdmurrayWindipity: ^00:33
bdmurrayan easy way to do this is by clicking on "Code"00:34
bdmurrayon the bug page00:34
Windipitybdmurray: Sure thing, I'll look at that right now. Thanks!00:34
bdmurraythen look at the precise bzr branch00:34
bdmurrayclick around enough and you'll end up here00:35
bdmurrayhttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/xscorch/precise/view/head:/debian/xscorch.desktop00:35
bdmurrayoh neat, lucky us00:35
bkerensaslangasek: Unfortunately I'm feeling like seeing this Ubuntu bug through and I will try to deal with the gmane folks then perhaps debian can grab it then ubuntu and so on00:36
bkerensa;p00:36
bdmurrayWindipity: ^00:36
bkerensaslangasek: How do I submit a patch to gmane? I git cloned their repo and made the changes but I have no idea how to proceed from here since I'm unfamiliar with how they accept patches or maybe I can use git to propose my fix?00:40
slangasekbkerensa: I don't think it's necessary to submit a patch at ths point given that it's going all the way upstream; the upstream maintainer will regenerate the translation files automatically00:42
bkerensaslangasek: Well someone from the debian group that manages git specifically invited me to submit to gmane00:43
bkerensalol00:43
bkerensa:(00:43
slangasekgmane, btw, is simply an interface to Usenet + mailing lists00:43
bkerensahttp://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/19228900:44
slangasekI think it can be used for posting to the Usenet newsgroups, but I don't know how - I've never used it00:44
bkerensa:(00:44
bkerensaok00:44
slangasekjrnieder said "let's take this upstream", then he did - I don't know that it's worth you putting any more work into preparing a patch :)00:45
bkerensaBenjamin, the git-gui code can be found at00:46
bkerensa<git://repo.or.cz/git-gui.git>, in case you want to tackle it.00:46
bkerensaThanks and hope that helps,00:46
bkerensaJonathan00:46
bkerensaslangasek: why does 'git format-patch --stdout > git-gui-typo-fix.patch' not create a patch from the git repo I cloned01:03
bkerensaand made a fix in01:03
slangasekbkerensa: because git's UI was designed by a madman and a misanthrope? :)01:04
bkerensa:(01:04
slangasekhave you committed your changes to the git branch?01:04
bkerensaslangasek: Yes I ran git commit -m "Fixed Typos in Translation Files"01:04
bkerensaand it showed the changes01:05
slangasekok01:05
slangasekthen you need to run 'git format-patch HEAD^ --stdout > git-gui-typo-fix.patch'01:05
bkerensaslangasek: Great success :P01:06
bkerensaslangasek: Now might you suggest a way to submit the generated patch?01:06
slangasekbkerensa: unless there's an email address that gateways to that gmane group, I have no idea01:10
bkerensaslangasek: Yeah I have it it seems they want me to send the patch inline to a address @kernel.org01:11
bkerensa;p01:11
bkerensaspecifically git@vger.kernel.org01:11
slangasekright, that's plausible01:12
bkerensaslangasek: I submitted but they said something about MUA settings?01:30
bkerensahttp://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/923255/focus=19229501:30
slangasekbkerensa: well, he's correct that the message shows double-spaced01:31
slangasekI have no idea why01:32
bkerensaslangasek: and he is asking me also to delete the from from values and improve the subject line?01:33
slangasekdon't look at me :)01:33
bkerensalol01:33
bkerensaslangasek: These are your debian folk :P01:34
slangasekno, they aren't01:34
slangasekthat's someone replying to a post on the git upstream list01:34
bkerensaahh01:38
nathwilloh man... is it naptime yet? what a day.01:50
bkerensanathwill: never again01:53
bkerensa:(01:53
nathwillbkerensa: never again what? stay up til 3am the night before an event?01:53
bkerensaslangasek: the patch submitting process for that far upstream is nearly.... its not fun01:54
bkerensa:(01:54
slangasekagreed01:54
bkerensanathwill: never submit a patch that far up01:54
slangasekthat's why I make the Debian maintainer do it01:54
slangasek;)01:54
nathwilli'm working on one with the gedit devs01:54
nathwillit's hilarious01:54
bkerensaslangasek: I have had three people reply with little tidbits of how they want the patch to look01:54
bkerensanathwill: gedit doesnt go to lists that linus posts on01:54
bkerensa:(01:54

bkerensa:(01:57
bkerensabut if you look up in the main tree of that mailing list you can see I got bombed with critiques01:57
bkerensa;p01:57
nathwillhaha01:57
bkerensawhy no "git propose"01:57
bkerensaor something the equiv of merge proposals in ubuntu01:58
nathwilleverybody's got their own workflow... from what i can tell you pretty much have to do a thorough review of the history before having a clue how to propose something they'll accept01:59
nathwilllesson learned01:59
bkerensanathwill: btw Sebastien Bacher (seb) is a ubuntu dev01:59
nathwilloh cool02:08
nathwilli also got a crazy letter from some dude in Ubuntu Developers something or other asking about my "experience contributing to Ubuntu"02:08
nathwillhonestly, the fact that they even bother asking that question is my favorite thing about the experience02:08
bkerensanathwill: Daniel Holbach? :P Oh you must have come up on our list of 1st timers02:09
