[00:13] 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] Haha, How did you know that? [00:19] Windipity: i said in a good way :p [00:21] o/ Lacy [00:21] Hey at least spell my name right [00:22] what me spell right you have to be kidding [00:23] haha guess I should have known better lol [00:23] bkerensa: the BTS is being generally slow for me it seems :) [00:23] bkerensa: (my forward didn't show up on the bug yet either) [00:29] slangasek: yeah but its now been two hours :) [00:29] slangasek: Im not very optimistic about this bug anyways because now Debian wants me to forward it further upstream [00:29] :( [00:29] Eddie found a bug that seems to be a comment, maybe good for the wishlist. How do we take care of it? Bug #196874 [00:29] Launchpad bug 196874 in xscorch (Ubuntu) "Modified .desktop for easier use with submenus" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/196874 [00:31] 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] I dont have bug-control privileges yet because I have not resubmitted my app to bdmurray and co [00:32] Thank you, I will forward that information on. [00:33] One thing to do would be to check if the .desktop file for xscorch has changed at all [00:33] Windipity: ^ [00:34] an easy way to do this is by clicking on "Code" [00:34] on the bug page [00:34] bdmurray: Sure thing, I'll look at that right now. Thanks! [00:34] then look at the precise bzr branch [00:35] click around enough and you'll end up here [00:35] http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/precise/xscorch/precise/view/head:/debian/xscorch.desktop [00:35] oh neat, lucky us [00:36] 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] ;p [00:36] Windipity: ^ [00:40] 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] 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] slangasek: Well someone from the debian group that manages git specifically invited me to submit to gmane [00:43] lol [00:43] :( [00:43] gmane, btw, is simply an interface to Usenet + mailing lists [00:44] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/192289 [00:44] 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] :( [00:44] ok [00:45] 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] Benjamin, the git-gui code can be found at [00:46] , in case you want to tackle it. [00:46] Thanks and hope that helps, [00:46] Jonathan [01:03] slangasek: why does 'git format-patch --stdout > git-gui-typo-fix.patch' not create a patch from the git repo I cloned [01:03] and made a fix in [01:04] bkerensa: because git's UI was designed by a madman and a misanthrope? :) [01:04] :( [01:04] have you committed your changes to the git branch? [01:04] slangasek: Yes I ran git commit -m "Fixed Typos in Translation Files" [01:05] and it showed the changes [01:05] ok [01:05] then you need to run 'git format-patch HEAD^ --stdout > git-gui-typo-fix.patch' [01:06] slangasek: Great success :P [01:06] slangasek: Now might you suggest a way to submit the generated patch? [01:10] bkerensa: unless there's an email address that gateways to that gmane group, I have no idea [01:11] slangasek: Yeah I have it it seems they want me to send the patch inline to a address @kernel.org [01:11] ;p [01:11] specifically git@vger.kernel.org [01:12] right, that's plausible [01:30] slangasek: I submitted but they said something about MUA settings? [01:30] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.bugs.general/923255/focus=192295 [01:31] bkerensa: well, he's correct that the message shows double-spaced [01:32] I have no idea why [01:33] slangasek: and he is asking me also to delete the from from values and improve the subject line? [01:33] don't look at me :) [01:33] lol [01:34] slangasek: These are your debian folk :P [01:34] no, they aren't [01:34] that's someone replying to a post on the git upstream list [01:38] ahh [01:50] oh man... is it naptime yet? what a day. [01:53] nathwill: never again [01:53] :( [01:53] bkerensa: never again what? stay up til 3am the night before an event? [01:54] slangasek: the patch submitting process for that far upstream is nearly.... its not fun [01:54] :( [01:54] agreed [01:54] nathwill: never submit a patch that far up [01:54] that's why I make the Debian maintainer do it [01:54] ;) [01:54] i'm working on one with the gedit devs [01:54] it's hilarious [01:54] slangasek: I have had three people reply with little tidbits of how they want the patch to look [01:54] nathwill: gedit doesnt go to lists that linus posts on [01:54] :( [01:55] lolz [01:55] and apparently he posted on this list yesterday [01:55] dude, bkerensa, gnome is the same [01:55] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=671244 [01:55] Gnome bug 671244 in general "Add support for freedesktop.org "Desktop Action"" [Normal,Unconfirmed] [01:55] and i can't argue with anything they suggest. [01:55] they're right on, this is just hilarious [01:55] oh you had fun with sebsebseb [01:55] :D [01:56] nathwill: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/192299 [01:57] :( [01:57] but if you look up in the main tree of that mailing list you can see I got bombed with critiques [01:57] ;p [01:57] haha [01:57] why no "git propose" [01:58] or something the equiv of merge proposals in ubuntu [01:59] 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] lesson learned [01:59] nathwill: btw Sebastien Bacher (seb) is a ubuntu dev [02:08] oh cool [02:08] i also got a crazy letter from some dude in Ubuntu Developers something or other asking about my "experience contributing to Ubuntu" [02:08] honestly, the fact that they even bother asking that question is my favorite thing about the experience [02:09] nathwill: Daniel Holbach? :P Oh you must have come up on our list of 1st timers [02:09] ;p [02:09] i r a wirgin [02:10] and i think it was andrewsomething [02:10] anyways, workaday is over [02:10] headed out. [02:10] have a good night :) [02:10] kk === cy1 is now known as routingnum === routingnum is now known as cy1 [16:03] happy tuesday all === albrigha is now known as Guest32450 === Guest32450 is now known as albrigha [19:25] ;p [21:31] if anybody sees Windipity she brought up bug 196874 yesterday and I just set it to Fix Released rather than forgetting about it.
