ScottKapachelogger: I think we should not lose history.06:44
apacheloggerwell we'd not loose it06:44
apacheloggerwe'd clip it for the new source06:45
apacheloggerthe old bzr branches are still around and have their history06:45
ScottKMeh.  Whatever.06:45
apacheloggerproblem is primarily that way back in kde3 we had wallpapers and plenty of icons in there06:45
ScottKI see.06:45
apacheloggerwhich makes the branch unnecessarily big06:45
ScottKYou're doing the work, so I won't object however you see fit.06:46
apacheloggerto that extend clipping only to like the port to kde4 should already reduce the size quite a bit06:46

apacheloggerafiestas: please make dario triage powerdevil bugs06:48
apacheloggerScottK: ubuntu06:48
ScottKI thought that was ours too?06:48
apacheloggerScottK: I think the complaint is more about how that font has problems with Qt06:48
ScottKI see.06:48
apacheloggerScottK: yes, but we don't render like the youbuntoo06:49
apacheloggeras was seen by the issue in quantal were text was super fat06:49
ScottKWell then, that should be fixed.06:49
ScottKRight, but didn't that get fixed?06:49
apacheloggerdunno06:49
* apachelogger does not like the font really06:50
ScottKDon't look at me, I voted against switching to it.06:50
apacheloggerDroid is rather nice for high-res screens, everywhere else I go for liberation06:50

apacheloggerScottK: same as always, better looking and doing what it was meant to do06:55
apacheloggeractually perhaps we should revisit that after all06:56
apacheloggerbecause depending on how we justify having an IRC client on the ISO the better looks may be the one and only tipping point06:57

apacheloggeri.e. if we have an IRC client on board to allow users to hop into #kubuntu and seek support none of the differences between quassel and konversation matter except for visual appearance and how that integrates with the overal workspace design06:58
tsimpsonwell, as I remember, the only reason we moved away from konversation was because it wasn't ready for KDE4 when we released. and that's no longer the case :)06:58

ubottuKDE bug 294768 in powermanagement "Suspend to ram when switching activities after x hours" [Normal,Unconfirmed]06:58
apacheloggertsimpson: yeah and then when we talked about it it was a convenient decision to stick with it seeing as there was little effective difference between the two07:00
apacheloggerbut now what I see is active polishing on konvi and not so much of that on quassel07:00
tsimpsonI'd say that konvi is a "better" client than quassel, especially if you don't care about the core/client vs monolithic thing07:01
tsimpson"better" in the sense of looking nicer, and offering more features07:01
apacheloggerquestion is do those two things matter07:01
apacheloggera lot to be discussed07:02
apacheloggerhorray07:02
* apachelogger wonders where to spam first07:02
jussithe reason we chose to stick with quassel iirc was it was simpler and easier to get started, among other things.07:02
tsimpsonI don't see how it's much different from konvi in that regard, we have default settings that "just work" for both07:03
apacheloggerif we were to change there is also the question on what to do with quassel users ... force transit to konvi by config migration? leave two clients installed? make them choose on login?07:04
jussiapachelogger: for upgrades? just install the new client and leave the quassel there...07:04
tsimpsonprobably best to lave it installed for upgrades, and install konvi on fresh installs07:05
jussiI think the thing here is though, long term, how do we see the clients going. Is it really that we want to take Konvi now, and then look at quassel again in 2 cycles and switch back.07:06
tsimpsonmaybe have k-desktop depend/recommend/whatever on konversation | quassel07:06
jussilets try keep it consistent iff possible07:06

Tm_TJussipussi07:07
apacheloggerI do wonder how one even finds rfkill07:07
jussitsimpson: right at this moment, yes07:08
apacheloggeris it like "uh, lets have a look around the filesystem... oh my, this /usr/bin/ dir is rather full... and what is this here rfkill, what does it do? oh, nothing useful, WHY DO I HAVE THIS? WAAHAAAA"07:08
apacheloggerit's what I think when I have a look around the filesystem07:09
apacheloggerusual filesystem is $HOME though07:09
apacheloggerand usually rfkill is weird prn07:09
tsimpsonjussi: ironically, I just noticed my quassel here doesn't list you in the Nicks panel here, and doesn't allow me to tab-complete your nick ;)07:09
apacheloggerotherwise same principle07:09
jussitsimpson: curious...07:09
jussitsimpson: bug :P07:09

jussiapachelogger: simple, easy, still in active development, decent roadmap, we know the devs well, we can "shape" the direction as some examples. Many of these are valid for konvi as well though07:12
apacheloggerjussi: that's why I am saying the only real question that needs answering is why we have an IRC client to begin with07:19
tsimpsonquassel is a nice distributed IRC client, but that's hardly something the average user needs or requires for access to #kubuntu07:19
jussiapachelogger: yes, its a very good point, and goes back to the thought of "who is our target audience".07:20
apacheloggeras if I had planned it :P07:20
apacheloggerof course the target audience remains not well defined07:20
jussiIm actually somehwat in favour of just populating either the browser or the menu with a browser shortcut to the web irc interfacr07:20
apacheloggerjussi: that implies having a working browser :P07:21
apacheloggerthough I do generally agree, except the freenode irc interface is not particularly beautiful07:22
jussiapachelogger: its not too bad, and colours can be customised07:23

claydohpeople will howl, as they tend to do when something is changed or removed07:25
jussiclaydoh: yes, of course they will07:25
claydohbut it isn't as if there are many irc users as a percentage 07:25
apacheloggerit is also not as if we could make half of that marginal percentage agree with our decision anyway :P07:26
apacheloggeri.e. almost all quassel users I know are actually using it with a remote core, so they even need to install a different package despite us shipping quassel ^^07:27
* tsimpson does exactly that ^07:27
claydohas a quassel fan I do like the idea of the web interface on the website, as well as a bookmark in rekonq 07:27
ScottKapachelogger: We don't have DVD anymore.07:28
ScottKWe still have the kubuntu-full metapackage though.07:28
ScottKIt might be worth keeping.07:28
jussiDo we not already ship with help bookmarks in rekonq?07:29
claydohapachelogger: agreed, my core is an a eeepc07:29
jussiapachelogger: so yes, I would be in agreeance to move irc to webchat embedded in the kubuntu website. those that want a real client will be able to install it with no issue.07:30
claydohjussi: no, not really the favorites tab has your basic kde links ank kubuntu website link iirc07:30
jussihrm07:31
jussiI have an interesting thought...07:32
ScottKWebchat for #kubuntu maybe.07:32
jussiAre the pages in the help browser html? could we not just add the freenode client as one of those pages WITHIN the help browser?07:32
apacheloggeryes07:35
apacheloggerslightly mad though :P07:35
jussiapachelogger: why?07:36
apacheloggercause KHC is spooky crap07:36
jussihehe07:36
apacheloggeralso I think that needs some hacking07:36
jussiok, but it would be the best place for it, IMHO07:36
apacheloggeri.e. KHC will by default only render help:/ urls07:36
apacheloggereverything else is sent to kde to figure out what to do with it07:36
claydohrekonq favorites pane might be more discoverable07:37
apacheloggerjussi: yeah07:37
apacheloggerjussi: first we need apachelogger to redo KHC though :P07:37
jussiapachelogger: but would it not work to have a help:/ page with the thing embedded in it ?07:38
claydohhmmm rekonq's background image needs kubuntu-fication07:38
apacheloggerif that is possible07:38
apacheloggerjussi: just put it in some random page and see what happens ;)07:39
apacheloggerclaydoh: what's that?07:39
claydohwhere do most people go when they need help? the Help or the Web?07:39
jussiapachelogger: <iframe src="http://webchat.freenode.net?channels=kubuntu&uio=MTE9MjQ255" width="647" height="400"></iframe>07:39
jussiapachelogger: thats a blue hued, #kubuntu joining webchat to be embedded wherever you have html07:40
claydohjussi: http://postimage.org/image/fhqwnhcbn/  rather out of sync with the rest of kde's look, maybe07:43
apacheloggerjussi: no JS :P07:43
jussiapachelogger: oh :(07:44
jussiclaydoh: i just dropped some blue on it...:P07:45
