[00:13] <cweber10> bkerensa; i think we made a monster in the good way Winny is getting everyone in her group to do a bug :p
[00:17] <Windipity> Haha, How did you know that?
[00:19] <cweber10> Windipity: i said in a good way :p
[00:21] <cweber10> o/ Lacy
[00:21] <lcollins07> Hey at least spell my name right
[00:22] <cweber10> what me spell right you have to be kidding
[00:23] <lcollins07> haha guess I should have known better lol
[00:23] <slangasek> bkerensa: the BTS is being generally slow for me it seems :)
[00:23] <slangasek> bkerensa: (my forward didn't show up on the bug yet either)
[00:29] <bkerensa> slangasek: yeah but its now been two hours :)
[00:29] <bkerensa> slangasek: Im not very optimistic about this bug anyways because now Debian wants me to forward it further upstream
[00:29] <bkerensa> :(
[00:29] <Windipity> Eddie found a bug that seems to be a comment, maybe good for the wishlist. How do we take care of it? Bug #196874
[00:31] <bkerensa> Widipity: You might ask someone on #ubuntu-bugs to look at it who is on the control team so they can wishlist it.
[00:32] <bkerensa> I dont have bug-control privileges yet because I have not resubmitted my app to bdmurray and co
[00:32] <Windipity> Thank you, I will forward that information on.
[00:33] <bdmurray> One thing to do would be to check if the .desktop file for xscorch has changed at all
[00:33] <bdmurray> Windipity: ^
[00:34] <bdmurray> an easy way to do this is by clicking on "Code"
[00:34] <bdmurray> on the bug page
[00:34] <Windipity> bdmurray: Sure thing, I'll look at that right now. Thanks!
[00:34] <bdmurray> then look at the precise bzr branch
[00:35] <bdmurray> click around enough and you'll end up here
[00:35] <bdmurray> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/xscorch/precise/view/head:/debian/xscorch.desktop
[00:35] <bdmurray> oh neat, lucky us
[00:36] <bkerensa> slangasek: 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 on
[00:36] <bkerensa> ;p
[00:36] <bdmurray> Windipity: ^
[00:40] <bkerensa> slangasek: 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?
[00:42] <slangasek> bkerensa: 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 automatically
[00:43] <bkerensa> slangasek: Well someone from the debian group that manages git specifically invited me to submit to gmane
[00:43] <bkerensa> lol
[00:43] <bkerensa> :(
[00:43] <slangasek> gmane, btw, is simply an interface to Usenet + mailing lists
[00:44] <bkerensa> http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/192289
[00:44] <slangasek> I think it can be used for posting to the Usenet newsgroups, but I don't know how - I've never used it
[00:44] <bkerensa> :(
[00:44] <bkerensa> ok
[00:45] <slangasek> jrnieder 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 :)
[00:46] <bkerensa> Benjamin, the git-gui code can be found at
, in case you want to tackle it.
[00:46] <bkerensa> Thanks and hope that helps,
[00:46] <bkerensa> Jonathan
[01:03] <bkerensa> slangasek: why does 'git format-patch --stdout > git-gui-typo-fix.patch' not create a patch from the git repo I cloned
[01:03] <bkerensa> and made a fix in
[01:04] <slangasek> bkerensa: because git's UI was designed by a madman and a misanthrope? :)
[01:04] <bkerensa> :(
[01:04] <slangasek> have you committed your changes to the git branch?
[01:04] <bkerensa> slangasek: Yes I ran git commit -m "Fixed Typos in Translation Files"
[01:05] <bkerensa> and it showed the changes
[01:05] <slangasek> ok
[01:05] <slangasek> then you need to run 'git format-patch HEAD^ --stdout > git-gui-typo-fix.patch'
[01:06] <bkerensa> slangasek: Great success :P
[01:06] <bkerensa> slangasek: Now might you suggest a way to submit the generated patch?
[01:10] <slangasek> bkerensa: unless there's an email address that gateways to that gmane group, I have no idea
[01:11] <bkerensa> slangasek: Yeah I have it it seems they want me to send the patch inline to a address @kernel.org
[01:11] <bkerensa> ;p
[01:11] <bkerensa> specifically git@vger.kernel.org
[01:12] <slangasek> right, that's plausible
[01:30] <bkerensa> slangasek: I submitted but they said something about MUA settings?
[01:30] <bkerensa> http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/923255/focus=192295
[01:31] <slangasek> bkerensa: well, he's correct that the message shows double-spaced
[01:32] <slangasek> I have no idea why
[01:33] <bkerensa> slangasek: and he is asking me also to delete the from from values and improve the subject line?
[01:33] <slangasek> don't look at me :)
[01:33] <bkerensa> lol
[01:34] <bkerensa> slangasek: These are your debian folk :P
[01:34] <slangasek> no, they aren't
[01:34] <slangasek> that's someone replying to a post on the git upstream list
[01:38] <bkerensa> ahh
[01:50] <nathwill> oh man... is it naptime yet? what a day.
[01:53] <bkerensa> nathwill: never again
[01:53] <bkerensa> :(
[01:53] <nathwill> bkerensa: never again what? stay up til 3am the night before an event?
[01:54] <bkerensa> slangasek: the patch submitting process for that far upstream is nearly.... its not fun
[01:54] <bkerensa> :(
[01:54] <slangasek> agreed
[01:54] <bkerensa> nathwill: never submit a patch that far up
[01:54] <slangasek> that's why I make the Debian maintainer do it
[01:54] <slangasek> ;)
[01:54] <nathwill> i'm working on one with the gedit devs
[01:54] <nathwill> it's hilarious
[01:54] <bkerensa> slangasek: I have had three people reply with little tidbits of how they want the patch to look
[01:54] <bkerensa> nathwill: gedit doesnt go to lists that linus posts on
[01:54] <bkerensa> :(
[01:55] <nathwill> lolz
[01:55] <bkerensa> and apparently he posted on this list yesterday
[01:55] <nathwill> dude, bkerensa, gnome is the same
[01:55] <nathwill> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671244
[01:55] <nathwill> and i can't argue with anything they suggest.
[01:55] <nathwill> they're right on, this is just hilarious
[01:55] <bkerensa> oh you had fun with sebsebseb
[01:55] <bkerensa> :D
[01:56] <bkerensa> nathwill: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/192299
[01:57] <bkerensa> :(
[01:57] <bkerensa> but if you look up in the main tree of that mailing list you can see I got bombed with critiques
[01:57] <bkerensa> ;p
[01:57] <nathwill> haha
[01:57] <bkerensa> why no "git propose"
[01:58] <bkerensa> or something the equiv of merge proposals in ubuntu
[01:59] <nathwill> everybody'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 accept
[01:59] <nathwill> lesson learned
[01:59] <bkerensa> nathwill: btw Sebastien Bacher (seb) is a ubuntu dev
[02:08] <nathwill> oh cool
[02:08] <nathwill> i also got a crazy letter from some dude in Ubuntu Developers something or other asking about my "experience contributing to Ubuntu"
[02:08] <nathwill> honestly, the fact that they even bother asking that question is my favorite thing about the experience
[02:09] <bkerensa> nathwill: Daniel Holbach? :P Oh you must have come up on our list of 1st timers
[02:09] <bkerensa> ;p
[02:09] <nathwill> i r a wirgin
[02:10] <nathwill> and i think it was andrewsomething
[02:10] <nathwill> anyways, workaday is over
[02:10] <nathwill> headed out.
[02:10] <nathwill> have a good night :)
[02:10] <bkerensa> kk
[16:03] <nathwill> happy tuesday all
[19:25] <bkerensa> ;p
[21:31] <bdmurray> if anybody sees Windipity she brought up bug 196874 yesterday and I just set it to Fix Released rather than forgetting about it.
[22:42] <nathwill> victory! http://git.gnome.org/browse/gedit/commit/?id=1721bf6d97fe01e73f24b5a320ef5166535a02c7
[23:53] <cweber10> bdmurray: will let Windipity know tomarow when we have lab together.
[23:53] <bdmurray> cweber10: okay, thanks
