[02:17] <dglass> I'm working on a bug in package "wakeup" (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wakeup/+bug/935883). I've discovered that it is caused by python-evolution not depending on python-gnome2 (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-python-desktop/+bug/1041785).
[02:17] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 935883 in wakeup "read_evolution.py crashed with AttributeError in __main__: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_all_objects'" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[02:17] <dglass> Will this dependency be fixed in python-evolution, or should I add the python-gnome2 dependency to wakeup?
[02:20] <micahg> seems like it should be fixed in python-evolution
[02:22] <dglass> Okay, is there anyone I should subscribe to the python-evolution bug (LP: #1041785) to make this happen?
[02:27] <micahg> sorry, I don't see that dependency in the old version
[02:27] <dglass> yeah, for some reason it only becomes a problem in quantal
[02:28] <micahg> when you say with previous version ,is that with the old package or on an old release?
[02:28] <dglass> old release
[02:28] <dglass> I'm running 11.10 on my computer,  no problem. Also, it's hasn't been reported as an issue in older releases
[02:29] <dglass> In virtualbox running 12.10alpha3, the problem occurs
[02:29] <dglass> and there are bugs reported about it
[02:30] <dglass> see also https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtg/+bug/865988
[02:30] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 865988 in gtg "Gnome 3.2 issue: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'ICAL_STATUS_CONFIRMED'" [Medium,Fix released]
[02:30] <micahg> sorry, in quantal it needs a rebuild for the new ecal stack
[02:31]  * micahg has to run, will be back
[02:31] <dglass> I apologize, but I don't know what that means, could you explain?
[02:31] <dglass> okay
[02:31] <dglass> thanks as always for the help
[04:11] <micahg> dglass: it actually needs porting to the new ecal API, maybe ask in #ubuntu-desktop to see if anyone is working on it
[04:12] <dglass> so why does installing python-gnome2 seem to fix the issue?
[04:13] <micahg> my guess would be it links to the newer ecal  library and supersedes the old one somehow with the python includes...idk really
[04:13] <micahg> nope
[04:14] <micahg> you'll have to ask a desktop person why, I'd have to dig to figure it out
[04:14] <dglass> I mean, when the evolution library tries importing ecal, it raises an import error because there is no bonobo module, which is in the python-gnome2 package
[04:15] <dglass> okay, I'll ask on #ubuntu-desktop
[04:15] <dglass> one more question though:
[04:15] <micahg> in that case, a dependency might make sense
[04:15] <dglass> if nobody is working on this, would it be legit to just add the python-gnome2 dependency to wakeup?
[04:16] <micahg> well, the question is better asked in -motu, but I'd say that you're trying to work around an implementation detail (unless your package specifically needs it)
[04:17] <dglass> yes, basically I would see it as a workaround.
[04:18] <dglass> Okay, I will ask on #ubuntu-desktop. Thanks for checking it out.
[04:36] <tonylampada> Hi all
[04:36] <tonylampada> I've made this website for open source projects crowdfunding - http://www.freedomsponsors.org/. Please have a look at it.
[04:37] <tonylampada> I think it has a great potential to help free software projects, specially on big popular communities like this one
[04:43] <tonylampada> Right now I'm trying to get it know by as many developers as I can, so, if you like it, please help spread the word
[15:18] <TheLordOfTime> bdmurray:  ping, when you're not busy
[15:19] <bdmurray> TheLordOfTime: in a meeting so it'll be a bit
[15:19] <TheLordOfTime> yep, just wanted to ping you so you don't go AWOL on us afterwards :P
[15:19]  * TheLordOfTime is in -meeting lurkmode
[17:02] <bdmurray> TheLordOfTime: what is going on?
[18:16] <TheLordOfTime> bdmurray:  sorry, networking death.  have you kept up on the email chain lately?  micah commented on it
[18:16]  * TheLordOfTime halted progress on the core vs. noncore issue after that email
[18:50] <bdmurray> TheLordOfTime: I think that is a less frequent case
