seb128oh, a didrocks10:55
didrockshey seb12810:55
seb128didrocks, good morning, sil2100 was looking for you, nux broke abi and the daily ppa segfaults, they need an unity rebuild and don't know how to trigger one10:55
sil2100didrocks: indeed10:56
chrisccoulsondidrocks, should the launcher and panel be visible when the screen is locked btw?10:56
chrisccoulsoni noticed that this morning10:56
chrisccoulsonhi btw :)10:56
seb128chrisccoulson, no they shouldn't, compiz stacking issue?10:56
didrockschrisccoulson: not really, please file a bug10:56
sil2100didrocks: I prepared a branch for bumping the nux ABI, but the daily PPA already has a nux that has an old ABI version but an ABI breakage10:56
chrisccoulsondidrocks, ok, will do if i can reproduce it again10:56
didrockssil2100: yeah, please get the branch merge, we'll skip today's release then10:57
Laneysil2100: Yo, I'm looking at your unity-2d SRU request11:14
Laneyis there some special process for Unity SRUs?11:14
Laneyasking because I don't see the standard SRU info in the bug11:14

jibelchrisccoulson, aurora is running11:27
chrisccoulsonjibel, awesome, thanks! i'll take a look through those results11:38
chrisccoulsonah, TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | chrome://mochitests/content/browser/browser/base/content/test/social/browser_social_chatwindow.js | can't do any tests without this width11:43
chrisccoulsoni probably need to tell xvfb to make the screen a bit bigger11:43
chrisccoulsonah, and some spellcheck / hyphenation reftest failures too. i probably need to install dictionaries and hyphenation patterns for those to work11:45
chrisccoulsonok, should be easily fixed :)11:45

dobeypitti: hey, what is the "pygtkcompat" module for exactly? twisted is using it, and latest pygobject apparently breaks it (not sure if previous twisted in ubuntu had this code though)16:12
seb128jasoncwarner, hey, welcome back in a sane tz ;-)16:19
seb128pgraner, it doesn't seem there was code changes recently to indicator-power, did you have icons for those devices before the update? did you have a kernel update in that run?16:20
seb128cyphermox, ^16:20
pgranerseb128, no extra icons before the update, I did get a new kernel tho16:21
seb128pgraner, that needs debugging, can you report a bug using "ubuntu-bug indicator-power" if that's still an issue after reboot? it might be worth trying if booting the previous kernel fixes it as well16:29
pgranerseb128, ack, let me reboot into the old kernel16:29

qenghoThat bug describes *a* problem, but it's not really right.16:35
seb128qengho, that bug you listed in 1) is closed for precise, does it mean you got chromium to build on precise/armfh?16:35

chrisccoulsonright, for me:16:37
chrisccoulson- Firefox 18.0.1 release16:37
chrisccoulson- Busy upstreaming a bunch of patches16:37
chrisccoulson- Working on dropping our menubar addon entirely16:37
chrisccoulson- Investigating some memory leaks in Firefox16:37
chrisccoulsonand i've just fixed the biggest leak (bug 1103050) ;)16:37

seb128chrisccoulson, what will replace the menubar addon?16:38
chrisccoulsonseb128, support in firefox itself16:38
seb128great!16:38
chrisccoulsonit's getting more difficult to support an addon now, with upstream moving more interfaces to their shiny new DOM bindings16:38
chrisccoulsoneg, https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/fd642fb004e6 totally broke our addon last week16:39
chrisccoulsonso it's time to get rid of it now :)16:39
seb128k, makes sense16:39
seb128chrisccoulson, thanks, and well done on fixing another dbusmenu bug, be careful or you will end up maintaining it ;-)16:39
seb128didrocks, hey16:39
didrockshey hey16:40
didrocksWe now have the unity stack itself as part of the daily release process. \o/ Now still need some components to finish their transitionning and having tests running. Tests are being written for it as documentation (see first blog post at http://blog.didrocks.fr/post/Unity%3A-release-early%2C-release-often%E2%80%A6-release-daily%21)16:40
chrisccoulsonheh, i want to avoid maintaining dbusmenu ;)16:40
didrocksOn another note, finished the work to have one workspace by default with the g-c-c option side and "show desktop" launcher icon support.16:40
didrocks..16:40
LaneyIs there any documentation for distro people wanting to land fixes to the daily packages?16:41
seb128didrocks, thanks, not sure what other things but the unity daily landing being finally on rocks for me16:41
didrocksLaney: that is coming with the blog posts I'm writing, I'll turn that into a wiki page as well16:41
didrocksLaney: basically it's just "getting your fix upstream"16:42
didrocksand wait for the next day16:42
mterryLaney, debian/ is in trunk now16:42
didrocksfor urgent things, like retrying a landing, mterry, cyphermox, kenvandine and robru will be knowledgeable starting from thursday :)16:42
Laneyyeah but I was just confused about not pushing to the branch, what to do with the changelog and stuff like that16:42
mterryLaney, you don't push directly, but just file a merge.  Update the changelog and things in debian/ like normal, since that is in trunk16:43
* Laney nods16:43
Laneywould be good to have it written down somewhere more permenant (don't want to get into the details now) ;-)16:43
Laneythanks!16:43
mterryLaney, though if you link your branch to a bug, debian/changelog gets updated automatically16:43

LaneyI just broke my paste, one second16:45
LaneyMore gstreamer porting. Split out a telepathy-farstream-0.4 package for universe KDE stuff & moved the main package forward. Uploaded a ported empathy. Some stragglers remain as outlined on the pad. Working on pidgin but it's crashing ATM. Also been tinkering around the language-selector/lang/fontconfig issue (bug #1043031). Made progress with ja_JP. zh is more difficult, but work continues. Helped with updating GLib to 2.35 ...16:46

Laney... (seems Debian doesn't want this in exp so we'll diverge for a bit but still maintain it in svn there). HDD failed and uncovered some plymouth/mdadm bugs but mainly mdadm saved the day ;-). Patch piloted (uploaded unity-2d to precise).16:46
Laney16:46
seb128thanks for the unity-2d to precise, it was waiting for a while16:46
Laneyyeah, I was a bit surprised at that one16:46
seb128Laney, where are we with the gstreamer transition btw? almost done?16:47
Laneyyeah, mostly16:47
seb128great16:47
seb128Laney, thanks16:47
Laneythere's pidgin and libubuntuone16:47
seb128is dobey helping for libubuntuone? or is the u1 team porting it?16:48
LaneyLO comes with 4.0 and bluez-gstreamer is going to be part of gstreamer itself16:48
Laneyno I'll do that but it mainly deals with fluendo stuff which doesn't really exist for 1.0 yet16:48
dobeyseb128: porting libubuntuone to what?16:49

Laney(the latter, no way we'll port everything)16:50

kenvandine /THATSALLFOLKS16:51
dobeyLaney, mterry: ok, then i think we can just ignore libu1 for now; it's already off the image (rb plug-in doesn't use it any more), and we still need to decide what to do with libu1 wrt u1ms being moved to the web only, upstream. but i may very well just rip all the gst-using code out anyway16:52

dobeypitti: great, thanks16:55
mterryEOF16:55
pittidobey: it's mostly meant to make the porting from pygtk2 easier, as that is an "all or nothing" port, i. e. you can't test your program in the middle of porting while it's still using both16:55

attenteright now, the gtk 2 module is not working, but the gtk 3 module could use some general testing17:04

attente^D17:04
seb128attente, great to see things getting in shape17:05
attentethanks seb12817:05
seb128attente, what is required to test? should gtk be rebuilt without the old patch? does it conflict with appmenu-gtk3?17:05
tkamppeterseb128, I did an improvemnt of page size recognition in the CUPS Raster driver of Ghostscript, there are problems with some HP inkjets, and I lost a lot of time fighting with the Pandaboard until I got a desktop in my monitor's resolution (incompatibility with monitor, worked only through an HDMI switch).17:06
attentethe gtk in the ppa doesn't have the menu proxy patch, so updating to that should do it17:06
attenteif appmenu-gtk3 is left alone, the module still works17:06
seb128attente, ah ok, you have a gtk in your ppa, great ... btw sorry for letting you fight with packaging, if you need help or having question for packaging stuff please ask her on the channel, we have enough tz coverage that you should have people around able to help you17:07
seb128those who feel adventurous, feel free to test ^17:08

seb128.17:09
seb128Did I forgot anyone? any topic/comment before we discuss libreoffice backports (item from Sweetshark)?17:10
LaneyI'll have one after ;-)17:11
seb128Laney, go first if yours is short17:11
Laneyoh ok17:12
seb128I will probably dismiss the meeting and not keep everyone to discuss libreoffice17:12
seb128so those who are interested by the topic please stay a bit after the meeting17:12
Laneyso last week I raised on the ml about dropping gnome-media17:12
Laneydidn't get any real objections on there unless there's something stuck in moderation17:12
seb128the sound recorder?17:12
Laneyyeah17:12
seb128we got several oem-high priority bugs in the past when it was not working well, including in precise, they even spent time to fix some of those bugs17:13
Laneympt said in the medium/long term they would like to include kazam which should get that functionality17:13
seb128that makes me think it's either on a list of requirement/important17:13
Laneyhmm17:13
seb128or that they just had to make work correctly what is installed17:14
seb128it would be good to check with them which one it is17:14
seb128I will take an action to figure that out17:14
Laneyit's dead upstream but there is a sort-of gnome3-ish rewrite17:14
Laneywhich doesn't really work yet but would be a good point if we want to keep on with a sound recorder IMO17:14
seb128and there is no working sound recorder in the whole universe we could use?17:14
Laneygood point to start from17:14
seb128it seems like a simple feature and something that should have a dozen universe variants17:15
seb128but maybe it's not interesting to people ;-)17:15
Laneydepends if any of them are good enough17:15
Laneynobody chimed in with any on list17:15
seb128Laney, thanks, I will follow up on the list discussion once I figure out if oem cares about it17:16
Laneyack17:16
seb128other topics?17:16
seb128seems not17:16
seb128thanks everybody17:16
seb128Sweetshark, so, libreoffice backports ... tell us ;-)17:17
Sweetsharkas for the PPA policy here is the tl;dr version of what I proposed: "never upload a never (dependency) package to the LibreOffice ppa as long we are on the same major libreoffice version as the ubuntu series"17:17
Sweetsharkso something like having libexttextcat 3.3.1-2/precise in the libreoffice-3-5 PPA shouldnt happen in the future (as precise has 3.2.0 and thats what upstream released with)17:17
Sweetsharkthis is to allow SRUs to be tested there unmodified (testing something different than what will be SRUed kinda defeats the point)17:17
Sweetsharkpreviously there where even newer deps than upstream does with a given LibreOffice major (e.g. libexttextcat 3.2.x was used upstream with LO 3.5). I dont think that is useful, given the regression risk with such an untested combination17:17
SweetsharkI fear we still need an extra PPA for precise SRU testing (were we cant take back the existing upload with is likely widely deployed) as the libreoffice-3-5 PPA has already dependency updates that prevent a unmodified SRU to land there17:17
Sweetsharkdoes this make sense or does somebody have a better proposal?17:17
seb128Sweetshark, what's the purpose of the ppa? you wrote backports on the wiki page ... is that for backports or SRUs?17:18
seb128Sweetshark, we are getting libreoffice 4 in raring, is that going to a ppa for older series?17:19
seb128or is the ppa e.g for the libreoffice 3.5.7 update for precise?17:19
Sweetsharkseb128: currently we have four ppas: the generic ppa, which will ideally hold the newest major LO version on all ubuntu series (that is 4 on all series) and libreoffice-3-6 (which has the latest 3.6 version on all series), -3-5 (same for the older LO major) and prereleases (which holds upstream betas)17:21
Sweetsharkso what I want is that I can upload a 3.5.x SRU for precise unmodified in the libreoffice-3-5 ppa and a 3.6.x SRU for quantal to the libreoffice-3-6 PPA17:22
seb128can't you just make a sru ppa and upload 3.5 to the precise serie there and 3.6 to the quantal one?17:23
Sweetsharkseb128: yes, except that most users are on the existing ppas. so I would lose testers.17:24
seb128ok, so what do you need to change exactly compared to today and why?17:25
seb128sorry I miss a bit of context there17:25
Sweetsharkseb128: the change is essentially not to update libreoffice dependencies to something newer than the upstream major release did. E.g. libreoffice-3-5 PPA has a update of libexttextcat which need a slightly different LO package than the one that would be SRUed as the latest libexttextcat version in the PPA is different from the one in precise/main.17:28
Sweetsharkthus if I copy the SRU package to that PPA it breaks stuff for people.17:29
seb128Sweetshark, staying on the same serie seems to make sense to me yes17:30
Sweetsharkseb128: my point is that one should only upload a newer dep of LibreOffice to the libreoffice-3-5 PPA if that is intended to be SRUed.17:32
seb128Sweetshark, right, that makes sense to me if the goal is to test what is SRU material and not to have the crack of the day current version17:33
Sweetsharkif one uploads a newer LibreOffice _major_ version than was in the Ubuntu release (e.g. in the generic PPA LibreOffice 3.6.x for precise), then its perfectly fine to upload newer deps along as that version wont be SRUed anyway.17:35
Sweetshark(we dont SRU a different major, heh)17:35
seb128Sweetshark, it's a bit confusing that you use the same ppa for SRUs candidate and new series17:35
loolseb128: I poked Oliver and Steve L on the Nexus 7 stuff, and updated the notes but I've discovered https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/raring-targets today, so will have to digest that; that might be the best place to contribute the smem instructions to17:36
loolthere seems to be a lot documented there already17:36
Sweetsharkseb128: yes, but thats how users see it: "I use the -3-5 ppa and when I want to update I can go to -3-6 or the generic ppa".17:37
seb128lool, ok, thanks, do you know who is working on those targets/defining them?17:37
Sweetsharkseb128: The complexity is for the packagers.17:37
seb128Sweetshark, ok ... well in any case what you described before (e.g "keep the libraries on the same versions when the ppa has SRU candidate packages") seems fine to me17:38
seb128I would probably have made the ppas differently17:38
seb128e.g one "SRU" and one "current serie"17:38
loolseb128: it's a myriad of blueprints https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/topic-raring-desktop-targets-for-embedded17:38
seb128rather than 3.5, 3.6 etc17:38
seb128lool, do you know who is driving them?17:38
loolseb128: some workitems on Oliver, Martin etc.17:38
loolseb128: As a whole?  no; I know ogra_ is running some Nexus 7 meetings though17:39
Sweetsharkseb128: yes, then people would complain that they want to update to 3.6.x on precise now (because upstream 3.6 is reasonably stable), but they dont want the possibly not-that-stable-yet LibreOffice 4.0.0 yet, bit instead stay with the stable 3.6.x updates ....17:42
seb128Sweetshark, well, you should have a ppa for SRU, one for "current stable", I wouldn't bother doing 4 for old series atm17:45
seb128stable should be current 3.617:45
seb128Sweetshark, but, well, you are doing the work, so your call17:45
seb128your way just seems a bit more confusing17:45
seb128and it's a bit harder to know what/where can get new libraries17:45
Sweetsharkseb128: I have some 10-20 mails in my inbox on LO4 release day screaming for backports for at least precise/quantal, possibly also for lucid. Im quite happy if ricotz does those and I can point people to that.17:49
Sweetsharks/I have/I will have/17:49
mterrympt, heyo, btw.  Maybe libavcodec-extra-53 has some codecs used in decoding DVDs?17:49
seb128Sweetshark, ok17:50
ogra_seb128, victorp and achiang17:50
victorpogra_, ugh?17:51
ogra_victorp, the blueprint above17:51
ogra_https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/topic-raring-desktop-targets-for-embedded17:51
Sweetsharkseb128: anyway, I will discuss with ricotz -- maybe he likes you proposal.17:52
seb128ogra_, victorp: we were talking about the number of different team/groups working on similar nexus7 work items, communication seem suboptimal at best17:52
victorpogra_, yes that is the blueprint "topic" used to report on status.u.c17:52
ogra_seb128, i agree, i stated the weekly meeting again last week though17:54
victorpogra_, that will help17:54
seb128do we have a public mailing list for nexus7 work?17:54
victorpseb128,  as this is a desktop image, are you the lead for this?17:54
ogra_ubuntu-devel17:55
seb128victorp, well, I started leading work from our side, but we discovered that some people were doing similar work on non ubuntu channel and not communicating, which is what raised the issue ... we need to sort that out and get everybody at the same place17:55
victorpseb128, ok - but I thought the "official" channel is #ubuntu-arm17:56
ogra_well, friday 16:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting ;)17:56
ogra_and yes, #ubuntu-arm beyond that17:57
ogra_and ubuntu-devel for mails17:57
seb128victorp, I didn't even know we had an #ubuntu-arm, we have been doing our work on "normal" channels, e.g #ubuntu-desktop and #ubuntu-devel17:57
victorpseb128, we had #ubuntu-arm for ever17:57
seb128I guess it's time to get everybody Cced in one email and to sort out who works on what and what channels/lists we use17:57
seb128victorp, well, I was never on that and I didn't know about it, I though one of the goals was to stop having difference between arch/images and work on "Ubuntu"17:58
seb128anyway, let's move on17:58
ogra_its only 4 years old :)17:58
victorpseb128,  seems like you need to read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Nexus7/Developers - General info17:59
seb128ogra_, I'm not on all ubuntu channels, enough activity by following 10 of those17:59
ogra_yeah, agreed17:59
seb128victorp, thanks17:59
ogra_i'm not on all either17:59
victorpseb128, but I guess by non-ubuntu channel you dont mean #ubuntu-arm17:59
seb128victorp, well, I wish the work was in "mainline ubuntu" and no specific to arm, we said we need to make the image fit for mobiles targets, it's not arm specific work for most part18:00
seb128victorp, it's like plugging leaks in standard services, being smarter about what we run, that will impact the intel image in the same way18:01
ogra_well, ubuntu-arm surely doesnt need to be our work channel, it is traditionaly the arm support channel though18:02
victorpseb128, If you want to me channels I am fine with that. I would rather focus on knocking work items from blueprint to be honest18:02
seb128victorp, well, we discovered that some work was duplicate (e.g resources wasted) because different groups worked on similar things within knowing about each others, which is what I'm trying to sort18:03
ogra_seb128, well, it would help if people attended the meeting for a start18:04
seb128victorp, ogra_: who need somebody in charge of coordinating ... who would that be (I'm happy to step up if needed)18:04
ogra_well, achiang used to do that... alex, are you out of the project now ?18:06
victorpogra_, no he isnt ;) it needs to be someone from the desktop team18:06
seb128ogra_, sorry I was in SF for a sprint last friday18:06
victorpyou should ask jasoncwarner18:06
ogra_seb128, yeah, not blaming you, it was also short notice last week18:07
achiangogra_: for one, i'm just maxed out at the moment, but even if that wasn't true, the real answer is that the role is properly owned by the desktop team. it would be weird if i was in charge. :)18:07
ogra_but someone had to start it again18:07
ogra_achiang, well, you were in charge of the preparation18:08
achiangdesktop are the stewards, i'm just a helper who can go shake the appropriate trees if needed18:08
ogra_and kind of left a gap18:08
achiangogra_: nod, we were filling a gap, and then yeah... created a new gap. :-/18:08
ogra_well, we'll get it filled again18:08
ogra_:)18:08
achiangogra_: seb128: so let's figure out how to close the gap. 1) weekly meetings are starting back up, so that's good. 2) seb128 volunteered to lead coordination efforts18:09
achiangdo we need a (3) ?18:09
ogra_we can make up 3 at the meeting ;)18:09
chrisccoulsonseb128, can we have this in our cairo? http://cgit.freedesktop.org/cairo/commit/src/cairo-xlib-surface-shm.c?id=5d21c9e224617110678a5b854a6a41049a02fca218:09

chrisccoulsonit fixes another leak in firefox ;)18:10
chrisccoulson(and probably everywhere else too)18:10
seb128ogra_, achiang, lool: ok, let's sort that out friday at the meeting, I will pick coordination up from there18:10
seb128chrisccoulson, oh, firefox uses system cairo now? ;-)18:10
achiang+118:10
seb128chrisccoulson, when do you apply for coredev btw? :p18:10
achiangseb128: ogra_: thanks18:10
seb128achiang, thanks as well ;-)18:10
chrisccoulsonseb128, it doesn't use the system cairo directly, but it gets used by the native theme rendering18:11
ogra_seb128, do you think he'll get approved ?18:11
chrisccoulsonheh, coredev ;)18:11
ogra_with less than 5 years experience18:11
seb128ogra_, likely not :p18:11
seb128ogra_, will give me another reason to be grumpy ;-)18:12
* ogra_ pondersbto apply for DMB since that mail thread started18:12
chrisccoulsonheh, i was thinking about doing that too18:12
seb128ogra_, you should18:13
seb128chrisccoulson, anyway, I can get the patch in, or sponsor an upload for you... ;-)18:13
ogra_heh, yeah, looking if i can free up the time is the issue18:14
chrisccoulsonseb128, oh, is there no bzr branch for cairo?18:17
seb128hum, I don't think so, I think we were in sync for Debian too regularly for that18:18
seb128just put a debdiff online ;-)18:18
chrisccoulsonseb128, ok, i'll do that in a second. just testing to make sure this build works18:24
chrisccoulsonand need to do another run with valgrind too, which is slow ;)18:24
chrisccoulsonit's been a productive day today, getting to the bottom of the 2 largest firefox leaks :)18:25

mterryIs autologin broken for anyone else?19:36
mterry(in raring)19:36
seb128mterry, dunno but I can test later, I don't want to reboot now (my user is ecryptfs so I don't use it, but I can turn on autologin for my test user and see on next boot)19:38
seb128mterry, I see you just uploaded accountsservice, maybe a bug in that version?19:39
seb128mterry, do you want me to fetch that one or try with current raring?19:39
mterryseb128, OK thanks.  The version of accountsservice shouldn't matter.  That just affected the reporting of whether autologin was enabled or not19:40
mterryseb128, which was broken.  But in addition, the feature itself isn't working for me19:40
seb128mterry, shouldn't/doesn't :p19:40
mterryI can see it try in the lightdm logs19:40
mterryseb128, doesn't.  Was broken for me before and after that update19:40
seb128let's see19:40
* mterry reboots to try again19:42
seb128mterry, works for me19:45
seb128mterry, is the account you try to log in ecryptfs protected (just asking in case)19:45
mterryseb128, yeah you gave me the idea to check a non-ecryptfs user19:45
mterryseb128, it worked for me too then19:45
seb128lol19:45
mterryseb128, so I'll file a bug and give it to rob19:45
seb128that's a bug, autologin is not supposed to be possible to set for ecryptfs users19:46
seb128that used to work in the past19:46
mterryseb128, oh god19:46
mterryseb128, you're right.  I forgot about that19:46
mterryseb128, good that it's working 'correctly' then.19:46
seb128mterry, if lightdm can figure how to log you in, your ecryption is not as strong as you think it is ;-)19:46
mterryseb128, yeah yeah.  I'm just an idiot.  :)19:47
mterrylet me see why gnome-control-center is being so generous19:47
seb128mterry, 55_user_accounts_hide_controls.patch is supposed to take care of it19:48
seb128mterry, bzr seems to point you as the author of the patch btw ;-)19:49
mterryseb128, yup19:51
mterry:)19:51
jbichanice :)19:59
jbichait'd be nice to get accountsservice 0.6.30 into raring as it would be 1 less thing to maintain in the gnome3-staging ppa20:01
jbichagthumb now uses Ctrl+Delete for send to trash too :(20:11
mterryseb128, hmph.  Seems *someone* that updated to 3.6.3 didn't double confirm that my patch still worked.  Upstream changed code out from under me, but I'll fix it in a sec20:14

jasoncwarnerbryce I think didrocks was patient zero ;)22:05
jasoncwarnerbryce anything you wanted to update for the meeting? TheMuso same question? RAOF you would be last ;)22:06
brycecurrently working on nexus7 patches for some touch issues.22:07
jasoncwarnerbryce: nice22:07
brycemeeting tomorrow with tvoss to coordinate some display server integration stuff22:07
brycelast week focused on getting bunches of fixes into xdiagnose; still have a few follow ups to do there but it looks good22:07
jasoncwarnernice, thanks bryce22:08
bryceoh, and fixed vnc4 on armhf22:09
bryce(wasn't building)22:09
brycejasoncwarner, think that covers it22:09
bryceoh, one issue I wanted to bring up22:09
jasoncwarnerbryce: ok22:10
bryceI looked into our currently pending SRU's the other day.  Things generally look good, except for the proprietary drivers which are a mess22:10
brycefor both -nvidia and -fglrx we have a gob of SRUs blocked on verification failures or other misc. problems22:10
bryceI'm not sure what to do with these22:11
jasoncwarnerthanks, bryce.22:12
RAOFAh, good. This morning is my SRU day; I thought that last time I'd pushed everything appropriate for testing in -proposed.22:12
TheMusoNothing from me other than whats on the wiki page.22:13
jasoncwarnerRAOF perhaps take a look at the things bryce raised? :)22:13
jasoncwarner(perfect timing)22:13
bryceRAOF, the problem is mostly SRUs were verification has failed or we're waiting endlessly on someone to do verification on quantal or something22:14
RAOFStory of SRUs in general ☹22:14
bryceI added all the SRU's to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/TODO with what it looked like the next action is for each22:14

jasoncwarnerhey rickspencer3 yup yup!23:08
rickspencer3jasoncwarner, so ... I have a nexus 7 challenge for your team23:09
rickspencer3see what you think23:09
jasoncwarnerrickspencer3: listening ;)23:09
rickspencer3I'd like to be able to run Qt creator and work on my apps (with keyboard and mouse attached)23:09
rickspencer3so, get Qt5, Qt creator with our new Ubuntu loveliness all packagedup23:10
rickspencer3and find/fix any perf issues23:10
jasoncwarnerrickspencer3 seems like a generally useful benchmark for success. don't see why we couldn't target that. Would be an all around good test of the system.23:10
rickspencer3then I could play with the touch interactions and stuff23:10
rickspencer3jasoncwarner, QtCreator works well on my little netbook, fwiw23:10
jasoncwarnerrickspencer3: I'll add that as one of my usecases to the target tests.23:11
rickspencer3jasoncwarner, it would be nice to have qt Creator properly packaged anyway23:11
rickspencer3it seems like it's still slightly out of whack23:11
micahg!info qtcreator23:12
ubot2'maverick' is not a valid distribution:23:12
micahg!info qtcreator raring23:12
ubot2'raring' is not a valid distribution:23:12
jasoncwarnerrickspencer3 yeah, that goes to the whole qt5 stuff. ETA was end of month, though I'll get an update on that one from didrocks when he wakes up tomorrow.23:12
micahgqtcreator is in raring23:13
jasoncwarnerrickspencer3 though, it is all in line with our targets so I don't see a problem framing the discussion that way at all.23:13
jasoncwarnerrickspencer3: thanks for the feedback and challenge...not to mention the specific testing use case ;)23:14
rickspencer3thanks jasoncwarner23:15
rickspencer3jasoncwarner, I actually think it would be nice to be able to develop directly on a device that has touch and gesture support23:16
jasoncwarnerrickspencer3 I could see the appeal of that. particularly with your game ;)23:17
rickspencer3jasoncwarner, hah23:17
rickspencer3next I will ask for easy packaging tools :)23:17
rickspencer3jasoncwarner, I can't believe I am saying this ... but I am really enjoying having an IDE again23:19
jasoncwarnerrickspencer3 I'm pretty happy with qtcreator as well. Though, my bar is quite low...ie...not eclipse ;)23:21
