endless1239hello all01:27
endless1239Question01:27
endless1239I am interesting in becoming doing kubuntu packaging, which guide would be best to read pertaining that01:27
c2taruncan anyone please tell me how to checkout/fetch a project using its git URL inside Kdevelop4? 02:57
pktI noticed that in ubiquity kde frontend some strings are not translatable07:26
pkte.g., in PartAuto.py07:26
pktI think I can fix those, but I need some guidance in what to do with the ones in .ui files07:27
pkthow are the strings in .ui files in ubiquity becoming translatable?07:27
Riddellpkt: I think there's a route that goes over all the strings and translates them08:51
pktRiddell: there is "debconf updatepo" if you mean this08:52
pktbut I 'm asking something different. How do strings in .ui files become translatable08:53
pktin python code I see get_string() used08:53
pktbut in the .ui files what is the equivalent?08:53
Riddellshould be in translate_pages() and translate_widgets() in kde_ui.py08:54
Riddelltext = self.get_string(name, lang, prefix)08:55
Riddell"name" is the widgetName which matches the name of the string needed in debconf08:55
Riddellbut there's a bunch of special cases there for various widgets which don't do that08:55
pkthmm I see, maybe this is the problem then08:56
pktat least this gives me a starting point :)08:56

apachelogger!find media9.sty10:45
ubottuFile media9.sty found in texlive-latex-extra10:46
pktok so it seems that one case the reason for untranslatable strings is that get_string() needs to be defined11:05
pkt(ubiquity/frontend/kde_components/PartAuto.py)11:05
pktand in others it is just missing debconf templates11:05
Riddelldoes it not work at all there?11:05
pktyes, pyflakes says it is undefined11:05
pktwhen I copy&pasted the implementation it works11:06
pkt(I mean when I copied the implementation of get_string() to this file it works)11:06
Riddellsurely it would cause a bracktrace if it was undefined11:06
pktit wasn't being ran11:06
pktfor this reason11:06
pktit was commented out11:06
Riddellmm11:06
pktthus the strings stayed untranslatable11:07
pktyou can check yourself in ubiquity/frontend/kde_components/PartAuto.py11:07
pktthe versions with get_string() are commented out and have a TODO on top11:07
pktthese are 2 of the 5 untranslatable strings11:08
pktthe other 3 were just missing templates I think11:08
pktI will test it in a few minutes11:08

Riddellhi11:30
shadeslayerhi Riddell11:30
shadeslayerand everyone 11:30
Riddellshadeslayer: feeling better?11:36
shadeslayera bit, my eyes still hurt from looking at the screen :P11:37
* shadeslayer wil most likely be back to work till tomorrow11:38
BluesKajok guys , can you settle a small debate , ...is kde 4.9.1 in the regular repos now  or does it still require the backports?11:47
shadeslayerstill requires backports for Precise11:47
shadeslayerIt will never make it into the archives because we only release bug fix updates for precise11:47
konquishadeslayer: Can you look at my problem in 12.10 while shutting down that I mentioned in #kubuntu, against which package should I report that bug?11:49
konquiWhen sutting down from menu , the screen gets blurred, if I click somewhere the blur vanishes and I can use the system as if no shutdown was done, however if I press enter while the screen is blurred it shutsdown.11:49
=== rdieter_ is now known as rdieter
shadeslayerah11:55
shadeslayerkonqui: I believe that the shutdown dialog is not shown11:55
shadeslayerare you using some 3rd party plasma theme?11:56
konquishadeslayer: No I'm using air of course11:56
shadeslayerkonqui: this should appear ideally ( different theme ) : http://i.imgur.com/FZo95.png11:57
shadeslayercan you check if kde-workspace is installed?11:57
konquishadeslayer: Its installed, I got the dialogue on 4.9.1 on precise. I installed quantal beta 2, all updates and only vlc, google-chrome and aptitude installed.11:59
shadeslayerthat's ... odd11:59
konquiAnd also, I have customised lightdm and changed its background in system settings if that could be related12:02
shadeslayerkonqui: can you logout, switch to a tty, mv .kde .kde_bak , login and try shutting down12:02
shadeslayer( the mighty google suggests it might be a config issue )12:03
konquiHmm I'll try12:03

int_uaWhat's the debug package for /usr/bin/plasma-desktop ?  I have it crashed but cannot find the debug package. I'm using Kubuntu Backports PPA14:03
tsimpsonint_ua: should be kde-workspace-dbg14:04
int_uatsimpson: Thanks, looks like the right one. 870 Mb... =(14:06
tsimpsonyeah, it's more than just the plasma debugging stuff14:09
shadeslayermost likely pulls in qt dbg and what not14:20
int_uayeah, it is14:21
tsimpsonit may be >800MB, but just think of those lovely full stack traces! :)14:22
shadeslayer^14:23
shadeslayerIn the end, it's going to be worth ut14:23
shadeslayer*it14:23
int_ualet's hope so :)14:24
int_uaBTW, it's reproducible. If anyone has xchat, try minimizing it to tray multiple time really fast14:25
int_uas/time/times/14:25
kubotuint_ua meant: "BTW, it's reproducible. If anyone has xchat, try minimizing it to tray multiple times really fast"14:25
int_uaxchat and Kubuntu Backport PPA anyone?14:28
shadeslayerdo I *have* to install xchat :(14:30
int_uatsimpson, shadeslayer: Nope, /usr/bin/plasma-desktop still don't have the debug symbols14:31
int_uabut a lot of other libs disappeared from the list14:31
int_uaoh, and the second one is /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_menubar.so14:32
int_uaso I guess we'll need xchat + menubar + Backports14:32
tsimpsonI don't think there are any debugging symbols for plasma-widget-menubar14:34
* int_ua is sad14:36
int_uaSo what should I do, tsimpson?14:36
tsimpsonget the best trace you can for now I suppose14:38
tsimpsoneither that, or grab the source and compile yourself, without stripping14:38
shadeslayerint_ua: should I be minimizing to the systray?14:39
micahgthere are debugging symbols for that, you need the ddebs.u.c repository14:39
tsimpsonmicahg: doesn't work with PPAs14:39
micahgah, yeah, right14:39
shadeslayerworks just fine on Neon btw14:40

yofel_do we have a known working version of the upload scripts?17:43
QuintasanDid we ever have upload scripts?17:44
* Quintasan never seen them17:44
yofel_you weren't around for a while ^^17:44
Riddellsearch debfx's kubuntu-automation17:44
debfxif it's not working it is certainly fixable17:44
yofel_debfx: the packages dropped kde-sc-dev-latest, so the deps need to be bumped individually17:45
yofel_I've got some script snippets somewhere that I used for the rebuild, give me a minute17:45
shadeslayerKDE 4.9.2? has that even been tagged yet?17:46
yofel_http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~yofel/+junk/rebuildstuff/files17:46
debfxshadeslayer: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-release-team&m=134885176923212&w=217:47
shadeslayerwait what17:48
yofel_is kde-packagers now officially deprecated? I only saw it as I'm on the release-team ML as well17:48
shadeslayerwhy was that not released to kde-packagers?17:48
yofel_and ignore it most of the time17:48
RiddellI guess the new guy who posted that doesn't even know about kde-packagers17:48
yofel_shadeslayer: upstream has the opinion that packagers are part of the release team, so should read their ML as well it seems17:49
shadeslayerhm17:49
shadeslayerthat's one more ML I get to subscribe to, yay17:49
yofel_what Riddell said probably too, new name to me at least17:49
shadeslayerwell .. I've worked with Torgny before17:49
shadeslayerhe setup build.kde.org to use my old laptop as a build save17:50
yofel_hehe17:50
shadeslayerunfourtunately, it died17:50
debfxyofel_: so we need a hardcoded list of build-deps to bump? :/17:51
=== skreech__ is now known as Daskreech
yofel_debfx: well, it's the list that kde-sc-dev-latest had - i.e. the former yellow packages on our wiki. If you've got a better idea I'm open for suggestions17:52
* shadeslayer waves fist at KNotify17:52
yofel_I couldn't think of anything else that wouldn't produce false-positives17:52
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
yofelwhich reminds me..17:53
debfxyofel_: right, having to keep these in sync is what I don't like17:53
bulldog98btw how to get that kubuntu-automation working?17:53
yofelI think we need to review the build-deps and check whether all actually have a versioned build-dep right now17:53
yofelsome packages just relied on kde-sc-dev-latest I believe17:53
debfxyeah, that's what it's for17:55
RiddellI should have added versioned build-dep wherever kde-sc-dev-latest was used17:55
debfxbulldog98: it's still a bit experimental, lack of documentation is one issue17:55
yofelI think you missed some things like libksane or so in some cases. Not sure, I just took a quick look at the control files when I was writing my rebuild script17:57
yofelalthough, those have good ABI management so shouldn't even break17:57
debfxwhat I'm worried about is stuff like #ifdef VERSION >= XZ17:59
yofelgood point17:59
bulldog98where is our packaging gone?18:01
bulldog98I can’t find kde4libs bzr branch18:01
yofellp:~kubuntu-packagers/kubuntu-packaging/ ?18:01
Riddellit's called kdelibs18:02
yofeland use kbzr18:02
bulldog98ah right to long that I haven’t build a package18:02
Riddellbut it's best to do it en-masse18:03
bulldog98do we have a new automation for that?18:03
Riddellthrow them all into the ninjas PPA and wait for it to compile and use debfx's script to parse the output18:03
Riddellthat's what some part of kubuntu-automation did I think18:03
bulldog98Riddell: hm kgetsource isn’t working anymore and I don’t know why18:03
bulldog98Riddell: link to the script please18:04
Riddellshadeslayer did the 4.9.1 update so he should know all about it :)18:04
Riddelldebfx's stuff is in https://code.launchpad.net/~debfx/+junk/kubuntu-automation18:04
yofelanyone who does use the script please put some documentation on the ninja pad18:05
Riddellhttp://notes.kde.org/kubuntu-ninjas18:05
yofeldebfx: did you fix the version parsing?18:05
debfxyofel: I think so, testing right now18:05
yofelbulldog98: please wait until he's done ^18:06
shadeslayerhm?18:06
shadeslayerI did the backport update18:06
debfxgrrr18:09
debfxall the branches still have UNRELEASED in the changelog18:09
debfxapachelogger: ^18:09
bulldog98debfx: run sed over it?18:10
yofelhe'll still have to checkout all ~100 of them...18:10
yofeland if that wasn't enough, kdegames will add ~40 18:10
shadeslayer:P18:11
shadeslayerand I do believe that there's a high chance that some entries might not have been released18:12
shadeslayerso you'll have to be carefull with the sed18:12
yofeljust limit sed to the first line18:12
shadeslayeryeah18:12
bulldog98btw why do I get Permission denied (publickey) after running python kdesc-package-names 4.9.218:13
bulldog98I mean I can ssh into that maschine18:13
ScottKprobably wrong username then.18:14
shadeslayeryofel: http://i.imgur.com/NXOGi.jpg18:14
debfxof course the date in the changelog is wrong too ...18:14
shadeslayerlawl18:14
yofelshadeslayer: wannahave :D18:15
shadeslayeryofel: http://theprofoundprogrammer.com/store18:15
bulldog98ScottK: it’s sftp18:15
yofeldebfx: I personally am not particulary happy with the dch behaviour in quantal :(18:15
ScottKStill need the right username.18:15
shadeslayeryofel: only 10 USD xD18:15
shadeslayerplus 5 USD shipping I guess18:15
debfxyofel: has it changed?18:16
bulldog98shadeslayer: runtime error is also good18:16
debfxupdating the date before uploading a package seems useful to me18:16
yofeldebfx: simple 'dch' does not edit the date, you need to run 'dch -r' to "finalize" an entry which will update the date18:16
shadeslayerbulldog98: my favorite one is http://i.imgur.com/NYKQ8.jpg18:16
* yofel NEVER uses -r18:17
bulldog98hm ScottK how does debfx has to change that line subprocess.Popen(["sftp", "-b", "-", "ftpmaster.kde.org:/home/ftpubuntu/%s/%s/src/" % (stability, version)], stdin=subprocess.PIPE, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)18:17
bulldog98shadeslayer: good one18:17
yofelbulldog98: ftpubuntu@ftpmaster ?18:17
yofelor you'll need to set it in .ssh/config18:18
shadeslayerhah18:18
shadeslayerbulldog98: set your username in ~/.ssh/config18:18
shadeslayersomething like : Host bazaar.launchpad.net18:18
shadeslayer    User rohangarg18:18
debfxah yes I have all my usernames configured in the ssh config18:18
ScottKbulldog98: What they said.18:18
bulldog98debfx: please change that so nobody has to make configs^18:19
bulldog98ScottK: hm ok18:19
shadeslayeruh ... why?18:19
debfxsooo, anyone feels like syncing our branches with the archive? :)18:19
bulldog98shadeslayer: hm or at least document it :P18:19
shadeslayerdebfx: grunt work :(18:20
yofeldebfx: guess I could script something18:20
ScottKbulldog98: fix it in your .ssh/config.  It'll save you grief later.18:20
bulldog98ScottK: done18:20
shadeslayeror well ... something like pull-lp-source foobar; cp -aR foobar-4.9.1/debian foobar/18:20
shadeslayerbzr commit and bzr push :P18:21
yofelshadeslayer: I won't mind if you want to do it ;P18:21
yofelaand don't forget to tag18:22
debfxyeah except for packages where there are additional changes staged in the branch18:22
shadeslayerdebfx: that's what I'm concerned about18:22
yofel-.-18:22
yofeltrue18:22
shadeslayerare there any changes staged?18:22
debfxI don't know18:22
ScottKYou'll need to look at the diffs18:22
shadeslayerblergh18:22
debfxwould be good to parse bzr status to make sure only the changelog is different18:23
bulldog98debfx: I have added a README for kubuntu-automation get it from lp:~bulldog98/+junk/kubuntu-automation18:24
yofelcould we maybe just make kubuntu-automation be owned by kubuntu-packagers?18:24
bulldog98or that18:24
bulldog98debfx: you changed the arguments of ['pull-ninjas-source', '-d', 'analitza', 'quantal'] it should be the other way around18:47
debfxwhy is that?18:49
debfxah, the version in kubuntu-dev-tools doesn't support -d yet?18:51
bulldog98sorry the -d is obsolete, cause it tells me: Usage: pull-ninjas-source <package name> <release name>18:52
bulldog98debfx: yep18:52
debfxbulldog98: ok, should be fixed now in dev-tools18:53
bulldog98hm also the tool complains if a path already exists like upload18:54
tsimpsonyofel: -dbgsym isn't generated for PPAs19:03
