| MCR_ | smspillaz, hi :) | 09:45 |
|---|---|---|
| MCR_ | smspillaz, the best way to test core changes is via PPA | 09:45 |
| MCR_ | it is not so easy (at least for me) to replace my local installation of Compiz/Unity with trunk, because I do not run default Ubuntu | 09:46 |
| MCR_ | additional lenses for example make a self-compiled Unity crash on you once you try to open the Dash | 09:46 |
| MCR_ | and I do not even want to start talking about all the self-compiled Compiz plugins and the special CCSM settings | 09:47 |
| MCR_ | so ofc. I can test core trunk, but not in the *real* conditions | 09:48 |
| MCR_ | but if you have any additional magic scripts for me they are wellkommen | 09:48 |
| MCR_ | I have written some for auto-updating/compiling/installing Unity/nux/libunity&co, but those are pretty standard... | 09:50 |
| === Marlinc_ is now known as Marlinc | ||
| smspillaz | MCR_: so, you don't need to replace your installation | 10:51 |
| smspillaz | MCR_: what I'm asking is if you can install the branch *locally* along with unity (eg to ~/apps/ as the prefix) | 10:51 |
| smspillaz | and then test that | 10:51 |
| smspillaz | I don't see how that creates problems for your setup | 10:52 |
| MCR_ | smspillaz, try to install additional lenses and scopes and you'll notice ;) | 10:59 |
| smspillaz | MCR_: I don't see why that has anything to do with testing the wall plugin | 11:00 |
| MCR_ | that is true | 11:00 |
| smspillaz | the whole point is that you create a separate installation so that you can test things | 11:00 |
| MCR_ | but it is not *really* needed in this case | 11:00 |
| MCR_ | you say it works | 11:01 |
| smspillaz | MCR_: well, did you want to test my changes or not? | 11:01 |
| MCR_ | code looks good | 11:01 |
| smspillaz | its currently blocked on someone else testing them ... so ........ | 11:01 |
| MCR_ | I'll test it once it lands in trunk | 11:01 |
| smspillaz | MCR_: have a look to see if you can test it within the next three days | 11:01 |
| smspillaz | theres no rush | 11:01 |
| MCR_ | what is the problem ? | 11:01 |
| smspillaz | *shrug* just some testing would be good | 11:01 |
| MCR_ | if you tested it... | 11:02 |
| smspillaz | ... from someone else ... | 11:02 |
| MCR_ | and I promise to test it once it lands | 11:02 |
| MCR_ | with all the goodies I have enabled | 11:02 |
| smspillaz | MCR_: well, in any case, you're going to be in a position where you'll need to test core changes | 11:02 |
| MCR_ | I will immediately report any problems | 11:02 |
| smspillaz | I suggest that you look into building a separate installation | 11:02 |
| MCR_ | I know how to do it, do not worry | 11:02 |
| smspillaz | ... then do it? | 11:03 |
| MCR_ | I just do not *like* to do it, when it is not strictly necessary | 11:03 |
| MCR_ | I have to go in the virtual console | 11:03 |
| smspillaz | no you dont | 11:03 |
| MCR_ | oh | 11:03 |
| smspillaz | PATH=/path/to/prefix/ compiz --replace ccp & | 11:04 |
| smspillaz | done. | 11:04 |
| smspillaz | in a gnome-terminal or whatever | 11:04 |
| MCR_ | whot ? | 11:04 |
| smspillaz | MCR_: you don't need to launch from a vt | 11:04 |
| MCR_ | I always used Daniel's version: https://answers.launchpad.net/compiz/+question/203490 | 11:05 |
| MCR_ | but then for example my CCSM settings get all messed up | 11:05 |
| MCR_ | Compiz runs without Unity and so on | 11:05 |
| smspillaz | so that's one way of doing it | 11:05 |
| smspillaz | "ccp" loads the compizconfig plugin which will pull in all your settings | 11:05 |
| smspillaz | including plugin lists | 11:06 |
| MCR_ | so to test in a *real* environment a lot is needed and as I said if you have Unity lenses, scopes which are not in the unity source you are f*cked also | 11:06 |
| smspillaz | MCR_: It will be quite rare when you run into a situation where you need the lenses installed for local testing | 11:06 |
| MCR_ | it is enough to try to open the dash to make everything crash then | 11:07 |
| smspillaz | in any case, you can build packages of compiz pretty much instantly | 11:07 |
| MCR_ | because unity gets confused | 11:07 |
| smspillaz | just debuild in the compiz director | 11:07 |
| smspillaz | it will create deb packages | 11:07 |
| MCR_ | debuild | 11:07 |
| smspillaz | anyways, I need to go to dinner, but look into getting that local installation working for doing local tests | 11:07 |
| MCR_ | that is all that is needed to build all packages ? | 11:07 |
| smspillaz | it will pay off in the long term, trust me | 11:07 |
| smspillaz | MCR_: sudo apt-get build-dep compiz unity | 11:08 |
| smspillaz | the good thing about inline packaging is that you can literally just debuild in the source dir and it will make a package for you | 11:08 |
| smspillaz | which you can install with dpkg | 11:08 |
| smspillaz | anyways, gotta run | 11:08 |
| MCR_ | c ya | 11:08 |
