pittiGood morning05:03
BigWhale@#$#@!!! Morning.06:37
didrocksgood morning06:42
pittibonjour didrocks06:43
pittiBigWhale: what's up? :-)06:43
didrockssalut pitti, ça va?06:43
pittiça va bien! et toi?06:43
* pitti was watching you live yesterday06:43
didrocksça va, ça va :)06:43
pittiUbunTv!06:43
didrockspitti: oh, which session? :)06:43
pittiintegrating the phablet apps into ubuntu06:44
highvoltagebonjour á tous06:44
didrocksah ok :-)06:44
didrocksbonjour highvoltage ;)06:44
pittibonjour highvoltage, comment vas-tu?06:44
highvoltagebien merci et toi?06:44
didrockspitti: I find it a little bit difficult to lead a session, with all the tabs opened + the hangout window06:44
didrocksI guess it's a question of habit06:44
pittiyeah06:44
pittifollowing a session with video, irc, and etherpad works rather well I find06:45
BigWhalepitti, I'm up, that's what .. :/ six hours of sleep in two days and today will be the same and I have to make a new release of Kazam so it will get uploaded to Raring.06:45
didrocksbut I found it way more tiring than leading a session at a non virtual UDS06:45
didrocksright06:45
pittibut not when having an "active" hangout06:45
didrocksexactly06:45
didrocksnot sure what can be done for that though06:45
pittiBigWhale: trying sleep compression?06:45
pittididrocks: not sure either, maybe hangout on the tablet/netbook/second screen?06:46
pittiwith a bigger monitor, having two windows side by side ought to work, too06:46
didrockspitti: yeah, I think that's a viable option06:46
pittithat gets quite crammed with my 1280 pixels, though06:46
BigWhaleTwo people should lead the sessions. One taking care of video and the other of IRC. And the second person would then pass the info from irc to the first person06:46
BigWhaleit's hard to keep track of all the people chatting in irc06:47
didrocksBigWhale: yeah, that doesn't fix the "issue" with sessions where you have a ton of tabs06:47
pittiyeah, we need some kind of moderation there06:47
* RAOF will get to see this in action when there's a vUDS that doesn't go from 1am to 6am.06:47
didrocksbut agree that someone modering IRC is a first step :)06:47
didrocksmoderating*06:48
BigWhalepitti, I'll just stuff myself with energy drinks and green smoothies :>06:48
didrocksBigWhale: green smoothies, what do you put in it? :)06:52
BigWhaledidrocks, lots of stuff that tastes awful and that really wakes you up! ;>06:53
didrocks:)06:53
BigWhaleeverything from cabbage to broccoli06:53
BigWhalelettuce06:54
BigWhalemint ... and few more stuff that I'd have to google their English names  :)06:54
didrocksinteresting, I drinked a lot of smoothies in Ireland, but never such ones :)06:54
didrocksahah06:54
mlankhorstRAOF: not missing much06:55

SweetsharkMostly fine, except from the "arrgh fuuu LibreOffice on raring ate my data" mail from jono in the morning.08:40
seb128oh, it did?08:40
Sweetsharkseb128: we should update away from that beta ASAP. 4.0.1 final is going to be released ... *cough* soon, so we should update along with that.08:42
SweetsharkI have a 4.0.1~rc2 at https://launchpad.net/~bjoern-michaelsen/+archive/libreoffice-nattytest2 to be copied over to the ppa when its done.08:43

seb128Laney, do you have a magical command or did you list them by hand? (I do list by hand)09:48
seb128using autoremove doesn't clean those for me09:48
Laneyoh, that was just autoremove09:48
didrocksautoremove clearly does for me :)09:49
didrocksjust cleaned 2.7 GB, I kept the old kernels for a long time due to the network issue09:49

chrisccoulsoni guess i'll clean those manually09:52

margaHi.  I've created a custom indicator.  To find out about the available icons, I used the icon library browser.  But now I'm finding out that they don't look the same in unity and cinnamon10:19
seb128marga, right, cinnamon uses a different icon theme10:19
margaFor example, I'm using emblem-default-symbolic, and in cinnamon it looks awfully big10:19
seb128seems like a bug in their theme then?10:20
marga:-/10:20
margaWell, I'm not sure... It's the same icon, just bigger10:21
margaI think it's the indicator that somehow is screwing this up10:21
seb128marga, why?10:22
margabecause the icon is available in multiple sizes, but it's showing the wrong size10:22
seb128maybe it's not available in the wanted size in the theme?10:23
margaSorry, it's actually a scalable svg10:23
margathe icon library browser shows 3 sizes, by scaling10:23
seb128marga, where did you get the cinnamon icon theme?10:24
seb128it doesn't seem to be into the archive10:24
margauhm... it's the gnome theme, I think10:24
margathe library browser says 'inherited from gnome'10:25
margaIt's in the gnome-icon-them-symbolic10:25
pittiseb128: I don't think there's an "update" as such, it requires debugging why it doesn't work10:26
pittioh, there's 1.15.4, indeed10:26
seb128pitti, versions disagrees with you10:26
seb128pitti, ;-)10:26
pittiah, released on Monday, that was after I checked last10:27
pittiseb128: but still, support for powering off was in 1.15.1, so it's still not just the new version10:29
seb128pitti, well, it's build time enabled though, did you try rebuilding with the new udisk?10:29
pittiyes10:29
seb128ok10:29
seb128pitti, the "update" comment was orthogonal, I've "update gvfs" in my tomboy10:29
seb128but that tomboy note is endless, so I'm happy to let it to somebody else :p10:30
Laneyah /me was looking at that10:30
Laneyhappy to leave it to pitti though if you're debugging something else anyway10:30
seb128Laney, there is a bunch of other GNOME updates to do if you feel like doing those10:30
pittiLaney: ok, WFM; I'll do the update, and debug the poweroff thing10:30
seb128I was just going to do gtk310:30
pittiseb128: is there a new 3.6.5? or are we going for 3.7.x at last?10:31
seb128Laney, gssdp and gupnp (sync the new version from debian?),  libpango/glib/gtk-perl, glibmm, gnome-keyring, gtkmm3, libsecret, etc10:32
* pitti HUDs for "disks", gets totem, o_O, and tries again10:32
seb128pitti, still baking 3.7 in the ppa10:32
seb128pitti, we have some regressions still, theming issues10:33
seb128https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69421710:33
ubot2`Gnome bug 694217 in general "drag&drop half-broken – items get stuck while dragging" [Normal,Unconfirmed]10:33
seb128gnome-screenshots turn your screen white10:33
pittimeh, and searching for d-feet doesn't work at all -- what the heck is wrong with hud search?10:33
seb128pitti, hud or dash?10:33
didrockspitti: yeah, regression in the dash10:33
seb128hud is looking in menus only10:33
pittisorry, dash10:33
didrockspitti: the fix is merging10:33
didrockswith a test :p10:34
* pitti hugs didrocks10:34
seb128regression from the new libcolumbus version10:34
seb128what didrocks said10:34
* didrocks hugs pitti back10:34
seb128marga, I don't really have time to look at the issue atm, it's weird because that symbolic icon is only shipped in one package ... does the cinnamon theme inherit from GNOME?10:35
margait does, yes10:35
seb128marga, in any case have a bug report with a small testcase would be useful10:35
seb128larsu can probably help you to figure out what's wrong when he's up in a few hours10:35
pittiat least calling PowerOff on udisks2's d-bus iface works, so gvfs' fault10:35
margaOk, will look a bit deeper into this to try to find the culprit10:35
Laneybah, typing "spotif" into the dash gets me gedit instead of spotify10:41
pittiLaney: sounds like the same error I just complained about, where didrocks says it's being fixed?10:42
Laneyoh, didn't read scrollback, sorry10:42
Laneyah10:42
Laneyyes, thanks10:42
tkamppeterseb128, hi11:03

pittixnox: signals are in the per-class docs; I also see the arguments of methods and signals11:10

pittixnox: the functions seem to be there, but that part is buggy11:10
pittiIndex.main11:10
pittiRuns the main loop until Index.main_quit is called.11:10

pittixnox: so compare http://people.canonical.com/~xnox/yelp/doc/Gtk.FontChooser.html with http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/tmp/Gtk.FontChooser.html11:16

xnoxpitti: yeah, same here.11:18
pittixnox: but if the .page files are already missing the info, it's on the g-ir-doc-tool side11:18
pittihttp://people.canonical.com/~xnox/yelp/doc/Gtk.FontChooser.page looks really poor11:19
xnoxpitti: right, so the Notify.gir works here. So not sure what's wrong with Gtk3.11:20

pittixnox: yes, raring du jour11:25
tkamppeterseb128, around?11:42
pittiseb128: ok, I demystified bug 106787611:48
ubot2`Launchpad bug 1067876 in gvfs (Ubuntu) "Missing "Safely Remove Drive" option from Quicklists. Only have "Eject"." [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/106787611:48
pittiseb128: it's again a "hardware lies, we have no information what's right" case, and really tricky to work around11:48
pittiseb128: but for now, showing "Eject" for USB sticks doesn't break the world IMHO11:48
seb128tkamppeter, hey, sorry I was away for a bit12:02
seb128pitti, oh, ok, thanks for figuring it out!12:02
tkamppeterseb128, I have a problem with GNOME's printer setup tool and do not know how to debug it.12:03
seb128tkamppeter, what sort of problem?12:03
tkamppeterseb128, I am on Raring and if I run system-config-printer from the command line (old UI) it detects all my printers, in the network and on USB.12:03
tkamppeterseb128, if I use the new tool on my laptop (real-iron Raring), I see only network printers and no USB printers, looks like the new tool only checks via Bonjour but does not ask CUPS.12:05
tkamppeterseb128, on a Raring VM no printers are found at all, probably also not asking CUPS and not finding anything via Bonjour as it has its own network inside my PC.12:05
seb128could be, did you look at the code? or maybe ask upstream (I think he's mkasik on the GNOME IRC)12:06
seb128need to be away a few minute, I will read the scrollback12:06
seb128brb12:06
tkamppeterseb128, so the problem seems that the new tool is not asking CUPS (via s-c-p D-Bus service) to detect printers.12:06

Sweetsharkbdrung: some test have been proven to be flaky in general (as they failed on the backports builders too). So Ill disable them, so that we dont end up with a 24 hour armhf build that then fails to complete.12:14
Sweetsharkbdrung: you can go ahead and review 4.0.1 already though as this will only be a minor change.12:14
bdrungSweetshark: "new upstream release candidate" -> "new upstream release"12:14
seb128tkamppeter, have you looked at the GNOME tool's code to see what it's doing exactly?12:26

tkamppeterseb128, how do I fire up the printer tool from the command line, to see its warnings, and is there perhaps a debug mode for more verbose console logging?12:34

mterrySo there was a session on rolling release yesterday.  I looked through its notes, but didn't see anything interesting.  Now an email to the ubuntu-desktop list says we decided to release 13.04 after all?  What happened at that session?13:51
bdrungSweetshark: the changelog order is wrong. 1:4.0.0~beta2-0ubuntu2 should come before 1:4.0.0-113:52
seb128mterry, you can watch the video on youtube, nothing was decided13:52
mterryseb128, that would take time  :)13:53
seb128mterry, basically there is a good part of the people who feel like we commited to have a 13.04 and it's late to bail out from that commitement13:53
seb128mterry, but there was no conclusion13:53
seb128mterry, it seems like middle ground was to do a release but only support it for security13:53
seb128e.g not do SRUs13:53
seb128suggest to people who want the fixes to just keep rolling on the rolling release from there13:54

desrtparticularly the part for turning datetimes into a number to stick into a spinbox and using that number to render the date/time values13:58

desrtthat didn't go so well14:00
desrtGeorgeTorwell: i know, eh?  seriously!14:00
GeorgeTorwellYeah it sucks so hard bro. Cinnamon ftw14:00
desrtGeorgeTorwell: now that we've covered unity let's move on to why you don't like your science teacher14:00
Sweetsharkbdrung: no, changes need to be ordered in the way they appeared in the ubuntu releases. thus if 1:4.0.0~beta2-0ubuntu2 already merged changes from 1:4.0.0-1 in packaging the order has to be as is.14:00
GeorgeTorwelldesrt: I'm not a neckbeard like you. And no amount of passive aggressive neckbeard rage is going to change the fact that unity sucks and it sucks hard.14:01
desrtGeorgeTorwell: i think i was suggesting that you were too young to grow a beard, actually14:02
desrtbut the fact remains that you're the one here making useless remarks, obviously to very much the wrong channel14:02
bdrungSweetshark: 1:4.0.0~beta2-0ubuntu2 came directly after 1:4.0.0~beta2-0ubuntu1 and did not merge the _full_ changes from 1:4.0.0-114:02
GeorgeTorwellAnd now Ubuntu wants to come up with Mir, its own replacement for X instead of just using wayland? Well shit on a stick (ironically this is also desrt's nickname), how buggy is that going to be14:02
desrtGeorgeTorwell: in fairness, X kinda sucks14:03
mterrydesrt, yeah14:03
desrtin fact, X sucking is a good part of the reason for compiz sucking which is, in turn, a good part of the reason for unity sucking14:03

GeorgeTorwellbut holy shit there's this thing called WAYLAND14:04
bdrungSweetshark: cherry-picking is different to merging14:04

GeorgeTorwellthe replacement for X, and the future of linux14:04

desrtso if you could go ahead and arm yourself with some more facts before you start coming in here and babbling, that'd be great14:04
desrtwayland is just a protocol, you know?14:05
mterrydesrt, did you edit the date text or use the up/down buttons?14:05
GeorgeTorwellno shit faggot, I said it was a replacement for x14:05

bdrungSweetshark: doko took 1:4.0.0~beta2-0ubuntu1 and did one change and uploaded it as 1:4.0.0~beta2-0ubuntu2. after the 1:4.0.0~beta2-0ubuntu2, you merged the changes from Debian14:12
desrthm... no D-Bus involvement.  quite odd!14:12

desrtmterry: lol.14:40
desrtmterry: this is one of those "only in canada" bugs14:41
desrtmterry: in en_CA, %x (which is the format you use for printing the date) gives a 2-digit year14:42
desrtso when you parse it back again, we find ourselves in the year .... 1314:43
desrtthat results in GDateTime giving a rather large negative value for the unix timestamp14:43
desrtwhich the spinbox then truncates to zero14:43
desrtand.... ta da!  197014:43
mterrydesrt, hrm14:44
desrthere's one thing i don't understand: you use %x for the date, which is locale-specific14:44
desrtso should be mm/dd/yyyy in US, right?14:44
desrtbut you parse it back in again in the form "yyyy-mm-dd" always14:44
mterrydesrt, let me look at code again14:45
desrtya.... it fails to parse US-formatted times14:45
desrtand in canada it works but.... the result is not nice14:45
mterrydesrt, it works here...14:46
desrtmterry: are you seeing a mm/dd/yyyy formatted date?14:46
desrtwhen i set LC_ALL=en_US that's what i get14:46
desrtand when i try to change it i get a g_warning to the effect of "WARNING **: Could not understand 03/07/2013"14:47
mterrydesrt, yeah I do14:47
desrtand the date does not change14:47
desrtmterry: reading the code, there is really no way this can work....14:48
desrt28.6.15 mike@mt |     scanned = sscanf (text, "%u-%u-%u", &year_in, &month_in, &day_in);14:48

mterrydesrt, I get those print warnings.  Then my system time changes...  Not sure why yet14:51
desrtused to be hardcoded to %Y-%m-%d14:51
desrtso full 4-digit year, month, day14:51
desrtwhich would work just fine, always14:51
mterrydesrt, ah yes.   I hard coded it because I could not find a way to parse back a date in a generic locale format14:51
* desrt would be annoyed to still be hunting down y2k bugs in 2013 if this was not actually a y0.1k bug14:52
mterrydesrt, I blame Canada14:52
desrtmterry: i don't believe you that this works in the USA14:52
desrtit's not possible :)14:52
desrtmterry: to confirm: we are talking about manual text edit -- not using the buttons14:53
mterrydesrt, this had been part of my subtle attempts to force ISO 8601 on the world14:53
mterrydesrt, oh.  I was using button14:53
desrtah14:53
desrtthat one works14:53
desrtunless you're me14:53
mterrydesrt, I still got the warning, but then it worked14:53
desrtbecause the button causes the formatted string to update which parses successfully as the year 001314:53
mterryright14:53
desrtanyway.. there are two bugs here14:54
desrtwe need to revert jjardon's commit14:54
desrtbut then we probably also need to change the canadian preferred locale datetime to include a 4-digit year14:54
mterrydesrt, good luck changing anything locale related14:54
mterrydesrt, that is an uphill battle from what I've seen14:54
desrtsigh.14:55
desrtso revert jjardon's patch?14:55
mterrydesrt, though I agree 4-digit years does seem better in this day and age14:55
mterrydesrt, is there a bug yet?14:55

desrtand see if it comes out like 01-02-03 or 01-02-2003 or 02/01/2003 or whatever15:08
desrtthen decide what the format is based on that15:08
mterrydesrt, but there are things like Canadians15:08
desrti think it's also possible to query nl_langinfo for the format string corresponding to %x15:08
desrtso you could use that to scan with15:08
mterrydesrt, oh really?  I don't recall that being the case15:08
desrtglib does this, i think15:09
desrtthat's how g_date_time_format() works15:09
mterrydesrt, I *believe* I looked into this in the past and couldn't find it.  But maybe I overlooked it15:09

desrtit's still a lot of work to write a parser based on this15:10
desrtand note that you may not even be dealing with ascii digits15:10
desrti think in a farsi locale you get the arabic arabic digits15:10
mterrydesrt, wait, farsi doesn't use "western" arabic digits?  I always assumed we got those from them15:11
desrtmterry: we got the system from them, but not the glpyhs15:11
mterrydesrt, cool15:11

desrtyes15:13
desrtbut the indians write them like ०.१.२.३.४.५.६.७.८.९15:13
mterrydesrt, hmm.  I don't want to write a generic date parser.  I vote ISO 860115:13
desrtmterry: ya.  me too.  glad you agree. :)15:13
* mterry wonders if that was the real reason I bailed way back when15:13
desrtmterry: this is a job that could easily consume a week of your time dealing with edgecases15:13
desrti don't think having locale-specific date formats is worth a week of your time15:13
mterrydesrt, also, are you sure there aren't differences between %x and D_FMT...?15:14
desrtmterry: well15:14
bdrungSweetshark: some changelog comments: there is a typo in "diable help building on armel/armhf" -> it should be "disable"15:14
desrtmterry: you use g_date_time_format()15:14
desrtwhich implements %x using D_FMT15:14

mterryfair15:14
desrtno difference :)15:14
bdrungSweetshark: you can drop the "tweak Maintainer field" changelog entry15:14
seb128desrt, mterry: what does ISO 8601 specify?15:15
desrtseb128: date and time formats15:15
desrt2013-03-06T14:16:0015:16
mterryseb128, specifically, this is YYYY-MM-DD15:16
desrtamong many many other things15:16
seb128that seems wrong15:16
desrtyyyy-mm-dd is the international standard15:16
seb128we would here DD-MM-YYYY here for example15:16
mterryseb128, it's the only thing that's right in a world of evil15:16
desrtbecause, you know, canada uses it15:16
desrtseb128: no.  you would not.15:16
desrtseb128: you would do dd/mm/yyyy15:16
desrtwith /15:16
seb128works for me15:16
desrt- is reserved for people with sane systems15:17
seb128as long as days are first15:17
desrtie: canadians15:17
bdrungseb128: YYYY-MM-DD is the only date format that cannot be mis-interpreted15:17
larsuif days come first, so should the time: 18:37 05/02/200015:17
desrtlarsu: you mean 37:18, right?15:17
mptmterry, are you going to tell me that GTK still doesn't have a datepicker widgets?15:17
larsudesrt: :D15:18
larsuseb128: doing it the other way around (year first) makes it sortable, though15:18
seb128bdrung, there is no mis-interpretation in a specific locale15:18
desrtseb128: as much as i love little endian, you europeans have the date thing totally wrong :p15:18
* larsu agrees15:18
seb128larsu, I'm not arguing in favor, I'm just saying that users expect it this wat15:18
seb128way15:18
mptI'm surprised no-one has cited XKCD yet15:18
desrtthe americans do too, of course15:18
bdrungseb128: okay. the mis-interpretation can only happen if you don't know the locale15:19
mterrympt, I went to that comic to remember the ISO number  :)15:19
seb128larsu, you can claim that the europeans users are stupid and don't care but they are still our users15:19
desrtseb128: if users see 2013- out in front they know that they should alter their expectation15:19
bdrungSweetshark: why where a build-conflict on gcc/g++ (>= 4:4.7~) [!i386 !amd64 !kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64] added?15:19
desrtseb128: and this is not some theoretical "this way or that, all the same" discussion15:19
seb128desrt, or they complain that the format is weird15:19
desrtthis is a "mterry will have to spend a week fixing this for you to have it your way" discussion15:19
larsuseb128: yeah, sadly. I didn't say users were stupid, only that I prefer it the other way around15:19
Sweetsharkbdrung: finished? if not, can you collect the needed changes when you have all of them so that I dont cycle around endlessly doing trivial changes.15:19
mterrydesrt, yeah but then we fix it real nice for everyone forever  :)15:20
bdrungSweetshark: nope. not finished with my review.15:20
seb128larsu, what we prefer doesn't really matter though...15:20
desrtmterry: if you write this code, i want it in GDateTime :)15:20
seb128desrt, mterry, larsu: doesn't seem like spending lot of time on though15:20
Sweetsharkbdrung: because we had them before, I dont recheck the debian delta on each upload. usually I purge the delta as far as possible for the next libreoffice major15:20
larsuseb128: I know, but I want to state my opinion regardless :)15:21
desrtseb128: the problem is that we have a library function to format dates according to the current locale, but none to parse them back15:21
mterrympt, no, I don't believe they do have a date picker.  Let me double check GTK hasn't added one since I last looked15:21
bdrungSweetshark: have you done a testbuild on non-i386/amd64? i am not sure what this new build conflict means for non-i386/amd6415:21
mterrympt, just their calendar widget15:22
mptffs15:22
desrtmterry: you want a calendar attached to a label or something?15:22
desrtlike, airline booking site style?15:22
desrti bet writing one of those is easier than writing a generic date parser :)15:22
mterrydesrt, mpt: true, we could adjust the design so it isn't directly editable15:22
mptFifteen years and still no datepicker15:22
desrtalso: wtf is the deal with the spin buttons15:23
desrti press up and it changes *minutes*?15:23
mterrydesrt, hold it down and it goes faster15:23
desrtheh15:23
mterryI think...15:23
desrtthank god for ntp15:23
mptThe spin buttons should increment/decrement the selected bit. Currently they increment/decrement ... something.15:23
mptMinutes and days.15:23
bdrungSweetshark: the build conflict on gcc/g++ (>= 4:4.7~) is new15:24
mterrympt, hah, I missed that part of the spec (to increment the selected bit)15:24
desrtselected?  as in 'the one the cursor is inside of'?15:24
mptmterry, I didn't specify it, because it's a standard part of a datepicker :-]15:25
larsumpt: isn't a datepicker that lets you choose a date from a calendar much more helpful than a spin box?15:25
desrtlarsu: that's kinda what we're bitching about just now15:26
mptlarsu, it's much slower, especially if the date is way off, e.g. 1970.15:26
mptBut other than that, yes. :-)15:26
larsubut that's an edge case. Who ever sets their time 40 years into the past?15:27
desrtlarsu: happened to me today, quite a few times :)15:27
mptlarsu, it's one of the most likely wrong years, being Unix year zero15:27
larsuI knew someone would say that :D15:27
Sweetsharkbdrung: checking ... somebody did suggest whitespace changes to debian, making merges a real pain ...15:27
larsumpt: ah, good point15:27
Sweetshark;)15:27
larsuin that case, a text field is probably best...15:28
* larsu prefers NTP anyway15:28
desrtya.  thank god for ntp.15:28
mptmterry, so, how do you feel about implementing the datepicker if I specify it in detail?15:28
bdrungSweetshark: these changes made reading debdiff more easily :)15:28
* desrt is amazed that in all of the option-removing zeal, GNOME hasn't stripped away the option to disable network time15:28
desrtbecause, seriously... who actually wants their time to be wrong?15:28
larsupeople who aren't connected to the internet15:28
larsuoh.  Nevermind.15:29
desrtactually... i know a lot of people who set their alarm clocks fast15:29
mptmterry, basically a text field, where you can navigate between its segments with Left+Right keys, increment/decrement with Up/Down, and type a complete replacement date without having to tab or type separators.15:29
mterrympt, I'm fine with it.  But the priority is a different question.  It's not mobile related, so...  :)15:29
mpttrue15:29
desrtmterry: just commit the revert15:29
mterrympt, also it'd be difficult to get right due to the variety of parsing back locale-specific formats, so it would take some time15:29
seb128it seems non trivial work for little benefit in the big picture15:30
seb128e.g very low priority15:30
seb128let's go with the easier fix15:30
mterrympt, how much do you hate going back to ISO 8601?15:30
seb128e.g revert the commit?15:30
desrtseb128: yes15:30
desrtwe can leave the old bug open in case some day someone wants to make the effort15:30
mterryThis time I'm going to leave a comment, pointing at these bugs15:31
desrtmterry: good idea :)15:31
Sweetsharkbdrung: sure, I hear you want to do the merges there now.15:31
Sweetshark;)15:31
mptmterry, I love ISO 8601 with a passion. I use ISO 8601 on all my design sketches. But I usually have to explain it if I dare use it with a non-geek.15:31
desrtmpt: you should move to canada15:32
desrtwe live and breathe iso 8601 here15:32
bdrungSweetshark: the whitespace change should have only created a one time merge complication15:32
mptdesrt, or Lithuania. The locale settings in Lithuania are awesome.15:33
* desrt would have assumed they used the same as the rest of europe15:34
mterrydesrt, your locale says otherwise, two-digit-year man15:34
desrtmterry: i told you this is another bug15:34
Sweetsharkbdrung: yep, that is a merge error, moving the Build-Conflicts: from debian to us.15:35
mterrydesrt, :)15:35
mterrydesrt, in my opinion, it's a bug with all the locales that they aren't just iso860115:35
mterryBut that's the programmer in me talking15:35
desrtmterry: this is the kind of bug that would be closed 'Opinion' :)15:36
desrtmterry: let's next move on to how daylight savings time is only used by morons and how we should all be on UTC as well :)15:36
mptmterry, perhaps a cheap way of improving the situation would be to add a calendar button next to the date field.15:36
Sweetsharkbdrung: since gcc-4.6 is in universe that would likely result in a component mismatch. Ill remove that conflict again.15:37
mterryhttps://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/indicator-datetime/iso8601/+merge/151989 for review15:37

notgaryI'm attempting to install egg-list-box using jhbuild and am making it as far as the build phase before I get the error "/bin/bash: --pkg: command not found". The full output from that phase can be found at http://paste.ubuntu.com/5591640/. I can't find any package called 'pkg' (unless someone's misspelled dpkg). Can anyone help me out with this?22:17
