Riddellpackages uploaded, will need 100 retries02:24
* ScottK starts mashing the retry button.04:48
ScottK100 was conservative.04:48
Daskreech100 retries?04:52
ScottKMore.  It's one per arch, per pacakge.05:22
ScottKI didn't count how many packages 4.8 has, but 4.7 was almost 80 and 4.8 is more.05:24
micahgScottK: ubuntu-build FTW05:24
micahglast time I threw all the packages in a file and piped them to ubuntu-build05:25
ScottKCan that do it for specific archs?05:26
micahgyep05:26
micahg-a IIRC05:27
ScottKWhere do I find it?05:27
micahgubuntu-dev-tools :)05:27
ScottKI see it.05:28
micahgyou might get a timeout or 2 with that many packages though05:28
micahgbut just run it again05:28
ScottKThis is definitely better.  Thanks.05:43

ximionRiddell: Filed sync request (and FFe) for debconf-kde as bug #97320209:11
ubottuLaunchpad bug 973202 in debconf-kde (Ubuntu) "FFe: Sync debconf-kde 0.2-2 (main) from Debian unstable (main)" [Wishlist,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/97320209:11
debfxximion: is it only a bugfix release?09:20
ximiondebfx: it is to 98% identical to the current Git snapshot, and the changes are only bugfixes09:22
ximionalso API and ABI remain compatible (of course)09:22
debfxximion: ok, then you don't need a FFe09:23
ximiondebfx: okay09:23
ximionif the Kubuntu wouldn't have requested this sync request, I wouldn't have written it :P09:24
ximion(the 0.2. release contains only some code-improvements, which are very nice to have, but not critical)09:24
ximion(if you compare it to the current Git snapshot we shipped)09:24
debfxximion: minor nitpick: debian/rules complains about "date: invalid date `+%s'"09:28
ximiondebfx: what are you trying to do?09:30
ximion(haven't seen this message...)09:30
debfxjust building the package09:30

ubottuLaunchpad bug 973224 in kdesdk (Ubuntu) "The kdesdk-dolphin-plugins description is missing information" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/97322409:33
debfxximion: if you only provide a symbols file for one arch you should use the -V option of dh_makeshlibs09:37
debfxbulldog98: makes sense, maybe we should just say "various version control systems" instead of listing all of them09:39
ximiondebfx: I need to go over this symbols-file stuff again anyway, it constantly breaks09:40
ximion(one arch on Debian is adding symbols, others are removing symbols which are in the file etc...)09:40
ximionth date thing is weird...09:41
debfxyeah maintaining symbols files for c++ libs usually is no fun09:41
jalcineespecially when people don't like using opaque pointers :/09:42
ximionI hate it - it never works as expected :P09:42

afiestasI want to have an akonadi-google package that imports the code from a different location11:14
afiestasand put the result package in a ppa11:14
afiestasmore or less I figure out how to create a recipe and I already ahve the source package working11:15
afiestaswhat i don't see how to do is the launchpad stuff, meaning creating the package, make my team owner of it etc11:15

BluesKajHey all13:05
afiestasRiddell: yes13:08
Riddellafiestas: is there a project on launchpad for akonadi-google?13:13
afiestasRiddell: yes, not mine though13:13
Riddellthat's fine13:13
Riddellwhere is it?13:13
Riddellnothing at https://launchpad.net/akonadi-google13:13
afiestashttps://launchpad.net/akonadigoogle13:13
Riddellsomebody has nicely already set up an import13:14
Riddellhttps://code.launchpad.net/~benoitg/akonadigoogle/master13:14
Riddellis this what you want?  git://anongit.kde.org/akonadi-google13:14
Riddellor do you have your own branch?13:15
afiestasRiddell:  I will have to setup it, but yes I want my own repo or branch13:18
Riddellafiestas: well we can't package something that doesn't yet exist13:19
Riddellso either we'll package it with patches or you need to set up your branch13:19
afiestasRiddell: git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/afiestas/akonadi-google.git13:23
afiestasnot online yet13:24
Riddellafiestas: when it's mirrored by anongit it can be fetched with  git clone git://anongit.kde.org/scratch/afiestas/akonadi-google.git ?13:24
afiestasyes13:25
Riddellafiestas: groovy, when it's on anongit just fill this in https://code.launchpad.net/akonadigoogle/+new-import13:26
Riddellset owner to be cyberspace and Branch Name: to something like akonadi-google-afiestas13:26
afiestasI see13:27
Riddellonce the import is done we can work out the packaging, starting from this one would seem a sensible place https://code.launchpad.net/~benoitg/akonadigoogle/akonadigoogle.upstream_packaging13:27
Riddellor maybe it can be used as is13:27
Riddellafiestas: do you know this Benoit GrĂ©goire  guy?13:27
afiestasdamn this launchpad thing, makes me feel stupid for moments :/13:27
Riddellno no, it's packaging which makes upstreams feel ignorant :)13:28
afiestasRiddell: in theory we should be able to use the recipe as well, right?13:28
afiestasjust changing the import repo to the new one13:28
Riddellafiestas: right copy and adapt the recipe13:28
afiestaslet me disagree, it is not packaging it is launchpad as well :/13:28
afiestasI mean, I want to create somethign in cyberspace and for doing that I have to go to another project, and "import a branch"13:28
afiestasthat's not packaging argot but launchpad's :/13:29
Riddellyes, they do lack a designer now so some features miss the well thought out user expectations you'd hope for13:29
Riddell4.8.2 is out!13:56
Riddellbut I think we'll wait a bit before putting it on kubuntu.org, still some bits compiling13:56
afiestasRiddell: do you know if the bug I reported has bveen fixed?13:57
afiestasthe one that needed  the creation of .local/cache/ iirc13:57
starbuckRidell: great news 4.8.2 :)14:02
Riddellafiestas: for telepathy?  I not sure I'm afraid14:02
Riddellthanks starbuck but we're not quite there yet :)14:02
starbuckfixes some foldervie bugs hopefully :)14:03
Riddellmm yes those should be in, good to have plasma desktop maintained again14:03
afiestasRiddell: the ones for kdepim14:03
danttiRiddell: hi, I recently fixed some important stuff on Apper, what at this time would be best patch the package or a new release?14:05
Riddelldantti: either is fine, we're not so burocratic to insist on patches only when a new release would have the same changes14:09
* Riddell out for an hour or two14:10

debfxagateau: doesn't dh_auto_test work (without an override)?14:28
agateaudebfx: for some reason it does not run "make buildtests", just "make runtest" :/14:28
agateauafiestas: ah, that's why your branch disappeared for a while from https://code.launchpad.net/~cyberspace :)14:29
afiestas?14:29
agateauafiestas: I went to this page, noticed your branch, clicked it, got a 404, went back to the branch list and the branch was not there anymore14:30
afiestasand I did that?14:30
afiestaslol I don't see it anymore netiher :s14:31
starbuckhello, the lp:changed:14:31
starbuckhttps://code.launchpad.net/akonadi-google14:31
starbuckits correct and macthing now with the "-"14:31
afiestasstarbuck: https://code.launchpad.net/akonadigoogle it still exists though14:32
afiestasoh I guess you deleted my branch starbuck ?14:32
starbucksure, its not maintained by cyberpsace14:32
starbuckyeah, i switched your branch14:32
starbuckeverything else is as is14:33
afiestasstarbuck: I'm not sure if having another project is the correct thing to do, at least not pointing to my scratch repo14:33
afiestasakonadi-google should point to the official repo 14:33
starbuckthen we can call it fiestas14:33
afiestas(not sure what are the rules)14:33
starbuckyes14:33
starbuckthen akonadigoogle can of course switch too14:34
starbucki think akonadi-google is better for official than akonadigoogle, but then im not to decide where official one will point to?14:35
afiestasstarbuck: no idea, but we don't want to manage official stuff but instead have our small place 14:37
afiestasanyway we need a special branch only for the next weeks until we merge our patches with the official one14:38
starbucksure, so for now we can use akonadi-google for extending your branch with afiestas to show14:38
shadeslayerRiddell: arm boxen14:38
shadeslayersomething seems broken14:38
starbuckthen its best if akonadi-google uses this for official one, unfortunately i can't make an official branch here since it can only be imported at one place at a time14:39
shadeslayerScottK: could you look at http://paste.kde.org/451814/ ?14:41

ronnocHi all. Wanted to point out that Telepathy .3 for 11.10 is working fine; however Telepathy .3 is not working for 12.04. I'm assuming it's a packaging issue based on the sources that were available at the time that have, I thjnk, since been corrected.17:19
ronnoc*think17:20
Daskreechwhat version of telepathy exists in 12.04 ?17:20
ronnoc.3 also. .3.1 is out (I think) but hasn't hit yet. I just checked the kde-telepathy channel and Arch has the same issue. No accounts can connect.17:23
ronnocDaskreech: http://paste.kde.org/451898/ may help17:25
Daskreechronnoc: Thats' KDE-telepathy. Which Telepathy is packaged?17:29
DaskreechFar as I know emp17:30
Daskreechathy and KDE-telepathy both moved to Telepathy 0.9 which is completely incompatible with KDE-telepathy 0.8 which is what kde-telepathy 0.3 uses17:31
ronnoclibtelepathy-qt4-2 for 12.04 is .9.1 | for 11.10 it's .9.017:34
Riddellronnoc: hum?  telepathy-kde is working great for me17:34
Riddellin 12.0417:34
Riddellhow did you install it?17:34
DaskreechRiddell: are you installing kde-telepathy 0.3 ?17:35
Riddellkde-telepathy: Installed: 0.3.0-0ubuntu217:35
Daskreechoh Telepathy 0.9 ?17:36
Riddelldavmor2: "branches of USC" is software centre?  when does that show up?17:37
ronnocRiddell: Yes, I have .3 installed on both, however it's only working in 11.10. My 12.04 is stock repos, all updated. For 11.10, I'm using the telepathy-kde ppa17:38
Riddelltelepathy-mission-control-5 1:5.11.0-1ubuntu217:38
Riddellronnoc: hum that probably needs a telepathy-kde person to debug it17:38
Riddellbut they're busy on 0.417:38
Riddellronnoc: does empathy work?17:39
davmor2Riddell: in the terminal when you run ./software-center the first time it compiles a local list of applications to pool from, it is here that the error appears,  as I say it's not a biggy by any means but it shows up everytime I have a fresh branch for USC17:39
ronnocRiddell: http://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?58052-Telepathy-is-not-connecting&highlight=telepathy17:39
Riddellronnoc: mm, so not just you, tsk17:40
ronnocRiddell: As long as .3.1 will hit before release, and it will, for 12.04 might as well wait for the packages and test and worry about it then, if needed? 17:41
Riddellronnoc: yeah I think that's the hing17:41
Riddellthing to do for now17:41
RiddellI hope to package that tomorrow17:42

BarkingFishEvening guys :)19:16
BarkingFishQuick question for you:  I downloaded a package yesterday which has presented an error the first time of opening (about 2 minutes ago) saying it's missing stuff that it should have.  Clearly the things it needs aren't listed in its dependencies, but the packages are on launchpad.  19:18
BarkingFishHow can we link the two together so that downloading the main package (gally) also downloads the lesson pack to go with it19:19
BarkingFish?19:19
BluesKajBarkingFish,  is there a ppa on launchpad ?, if so,  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nameofppa-ppa/name19:55
BluesKajthen update/.upgrade19:55
BarkingFishthe lesson pack isn't packaged, it looks like quite an old package which hasn't been maintained for a long time, BluesKaj - last time any work was done on it was March 201019:56
BarkingFishto be honest, it's something i think (looking at it) we might consider taking out if it's not gonna get upgraded or amended19:56
BluesKajis it in the repos for your OS version19:57
BarkingFishthe lesson pack isn't, no. The program itself is.19:58
BarkingFish!info gally oneiric19:58
ubottugally (source: gally): teaches sign languages. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.1-1build1 (oneiric), package size 64 kB, installed size 380 kB19:58

Riddellhi MrChrisDruif 21:23
MrChrisDruifAloha Riddell ^_^21:23
MrChrisDruifThanks for getting to me before I could get to you guys21:23
MrChrisDruifI've heard from someone called littlegirl that you already have some kind of offline documentation in place?21:24
Riddellmm sadly I fear we don't21:24
Riddellwe did but then the kubuntu website moved and I never got round to working out another one so I dropped it21:25
Riddellum21:26
Riddellbye21:27
MrChrisDruifLast line I got was: <Riddell> we did but then the kubuntu website moved and I never got round to working out another one so I dropped it21:29
Riddellaye that's all21:30
Riddellunless littlegirl knows different21:30
Riddellbut it's not hard, you just generate the HTML and scp to web server21:31
Riddellwait offline, you mean the khelpcentre stuff?21:31
Riddellcos online with documentation can mean different things21:31
MrChrisDruifI meant offline ^_^21:32
Riddellthat can mean different things21:32
MrChrisDruifAs in for computers without internet connection21:32
Riddellsee kubuntu-docs, we package the docbook for khelpcentre21:32
MrChrisDruifShe mentioned that as well21:32
MrChrisDruifSo how did you come to have that kubuntu-docs for offline documentation? Was it all written from manpages or how should I see it?21:34
MrChrisDruifSeeing we from Lubuntu want to make start on something similar?21:34
Riddellit's written in docbook21:35
Riddellsame as ubuntu-docs and indeed same as all the KDE documentation21:35
Riddellactually I think docbook is a bit too rigid, it works well while you have good maintainers who know docbook and it's no use for non-geeks21:36
RiddellI'd prefer a well ordered wiki really21:36
Riddellbut wikis and well-ordered don't tend to be related concepts21:36
MrChrisDruifWell, at least we try for Lubuntu, but it could be better I agree21:37
Riddellif you want packaged documentation you can look into docbook but you're best going with whatever lxde uses natively so you integrate21:39
MrChrisDruifI don't think lxde has something integrated natively ^_^21:40
MrChrisDruifBut can't docbook be formatted in a more user friendly way?21:41
Riddellit can be exported to HTML yes21:42
MrChrisDruifIt's all about what you put in it and in which layout etc right?21:42
Riddellthat's faffy to do, you need a style sheet and whatnot21:42
Riddellit can be exported to PDF and a load of other formats too21:42
Riddelldocbook is about pure document structure, the formatting is all in the stylesheets21:43
Riddellbut the tools aren't easy to use21:43
MrChrisDruifIt has (like the wiki?) a special syntax to make it look like you want?21:43
Riddellagateau: uploaded21:44
Riddellit's XML yes21:44
MrChrisDruifSo basically what is up on the wiki could be "transformed" to the xml of docbook to make it offline available?21:44
RiddellI forget how the stylesheets are written or what tools to use, they were never well documented or maintained21:44
Riddellit could be, or you could just use wget on the wiki to get the HTML directly21:45
MrChrisDruifHmm, interesting subject this seems to be21:46
MrChrisDruifI don't know what has more memory requirements21:47
Riddelleveryone runs a web browser so HTML has no memory requirments21:49
MrChrisDruifLocally stored pages for offline viewing also?21:50
MrChrisDruif;-)21:50
