bluesabreUnit193: where in the repos?  I don't see it, even with proposed enabled01:28
Unit193bluesabre: Saucy proposed (universe) - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/abiword01:29
bluesabreah, looks like they've not been published yet01:31
bluesabreI look forward to testing those and watching my doc files get turned to mush01:32
Unit193Dowh, crap... This is a bad day for me...01:32
Unit193I'm sorry.01:32
bluesabrethink abiword will ever handle doc files well?01:34
OvenWerksI always end up removing abi for libre for my wife. It works better between that and that other wordwrecker01:38
Unit193Eh, who knows.  Docx is the new kid anyway.  LibreOffice does better, and that's what I have.01:38
OvenWerksWe have a desktop file we put at the top of the office menu that opens USC pointed at libreoffice. We don't want to ship it. Yoou are welcome to a copy. (or steal it from our -settings)01:41
OvenWerksLSC doesn't have that feature (yet?)01:42
micahgmr_pouit: knome: re: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Roadmap/Specifications/Saucy/EnablingXubuntuDevelopers, there's already a xubuntu packageset, see http://people.canonical.com/~stgraber/package_sets/saucy/xubuntu03:59
micahgUnit193: people should not be running things out of proposed in the devel release as it's unstable03:59
Unit193Sorry.04:00
skellatmicahg: The packageset is there but from what I could gather from the DMB documentation...there isn't a team that actually "owns" the packageset04:08
skellatmicahg: The packageset is defined but has no uploaders as compared to say Kubuntu: http://people.canonical.com/~stgraber/package_sets/saucy/kubuntu04:10
micahgskellat: that's an implementation detail that we'll fix when needed04:11
micahgUnit193: I meant to look at the build failure for abiword, but have been lacking time and won't have any until Wed most probably04:12
Unit193micahg: Oh sure, sure.04:20
micahgsomeone fixed the build failure, now so rdeps need fixing for it to migrate04:37
skellatmicahg: Did I fill this out right: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/skellat/skellatDeveloperApplication04:38
skellat?04:38
micahgskellat: you're not ready for upload rights, you have no sponsored uploads and only 2 sponsored syncs AFAICY04:40
micahg*AFAICT04:40
skellatOkay04:40
skellatNo problemo04:40
micahgif you want PPU for xubuntu-docs, that should be doable once you've had some sponsored updates to that package04:41
micahgFWIW, it looks filled out properly04:41
* skellat recognizes he is an apparatchik of the worst sort04:42
skellatI'll take the MoinMoin text, save it to local disk, and nuke the page for now04:42
micahgskellat: heh, as long as it's not on the agenda, it can sit there and you can keep refining until you're ready04:42
skellatI do need a clarification as to what "sponsored update" to the package is.  I have had merges accepted.04:42
micahgskellat: and the help is much appreciated, but I think you were pushed a little too soon04:43
micahgskellat: sponsored update is where you prepare an entire new version that only needs an uploader to set the series (or in some cases you can do this) and upload04:43
skellatAh04:43
micahgyour name is in the changelog in the uploader line04:44
skellatI gotta go back and re-read the sponsored upload documentation.  I keep feeling like I am missing a step or two04:44
micahgaccepted merges can help towards something like dev membership without upload rights, but you're already an Ubuntu member04:44
Unit193(Does uploading to Debian count?)04:44
micahgnot for Ubuntu membership (though it does look good on an application :))04:45
micahgwell, it helps such that you show competence with a package04:45
skellatUnit193 has Ubuntu membership too04:47
Unit193Many people do...04:47
skellatUnit193: 774 people on-planet have Ubuntu Membership04:47
skellatAs of my last check earlier tonight04:47
skellatWe have 6 people in the Ohio LoCo with such including me and you (Unit193)04:48
micahgI will catch up with email eventually...feel free to ping me if there's something I need to see04:48
skellatmicahg: I just need to find better documentation on the sponsored upload process04:48
skellatThis is what I do have for sponsored upload process documentation on the Ubuntu side: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/udd-sponsorship.html04:50
micahgdocs might have their own process, idk04:51
skellatXubuntu is diverging from Ubuntu Documentation Project on that04:52
skellatI think04:52
skellatAnd I don't think bkerensa has that addressed yet at UDP level04:53
skellatHmm04:54
micahgok, well, the basic idea is to prepare the upload as if you had upload rights (with UNRELEASED in the changelog if you're using bzr) and poke someone to upload (either with a bug + sponsors team subscribed, bzr merge into UDD branch, poke on IRC for the exceptions where the other 2 don't make sense)04:54
micahg* poke someone to *review* and upload04:54
skellatOkay04:55
skellatThat I can do04:55
skellatAfter I get some sleep04:55
skellatWriting text at this hour of night is one thing.  Making bzr go kaboom happens way too easily at this hour for me.04:56
* micahg is heading to sleep, will check scrollback sometime tomorrow04:56
* skellat bids goodnight too04:57
Unit193'Night.04:59
knomei believe i've done a (semi-)"sponsored upload" with docs, with not really trying to achieve that, just doing what we need to get packages uploaded :P07:15
Unit193Best way to do it.07:22
knomedefinitely.07:27
knomei don't think upload rights have any absolute value for me07:28
ochosii think splitting the work is actually not a bad idea07:28
ochosiofc it's also not bad if we all have upload-rights additionally07:29
Unit193(That may be bad.)07:29
ochosibut the workload for each individual might increase if everyone has to upload their own stuff07:29
knomeochosi, i'm not saying it wouldn't be good. i'm just saying that i don't necessarily need package upload permissions, because 1) i'm not a developer and require other people to work on changes to most packages (excluding some artwork, docs, settings stuff) and 2) i don't specifically *want* to to uploads07:31
ochosiyeah, i wasn't arguing for or against what you said, mostly adding my pov to the conversation07:31
ochosi(and yeah, i'm not sure i wanna do uploads either, i feel my capacities are quite fully used as it is)07:35
knomei probably could, but then i'd want to drop other stuff, and that doesn't work while i'm XPL; when i'm not, i probably don't want to do that anymore as much07:38
ochosifor me it'd mean we'd have to e.g. drop maintenance of themes07:39
ochosii mean of the other themes, and only focus on Greybird07:39
Unit193Bleh, nooooooo.07:40
Unit193That means Blackbird gets even less.07:40
ochosiUnit193: you mean you'd rather try to get upload rights yourself? :}07:41
Unit193ochosi: Is that a good idea?  Just ask mi<tab>07:41
ochosiwouldn't know why not07:42
knomeme neither08:07
Unit193At least I'm learning.08:08
knomemotivation gets you far.08:24
knome(that's you in the broader sense (as well))08:25
mr_pouitmicahg: this package set is missing most panel plugins and contains things we don't care about (lyx? really?)17:41
mr_pouitand people (bluesabre, ochosi) who want to gain upload right for the package set could do the merges from unstable to saucy (I haven't touched anything but the ppa).17:44
bluesabremr_pouit: I would be interested in helping with the merges18:33
bluesabre:)18:33
bluesabrein addition to the other packages in our package set that ochosi and I are maintaining18:34
bluesabrereleased lightdm-gtk-greeter 1.6.0, parole 0.5.1, and catfish 0.6.4 today18:35
bluesabre(going to do sponsored uploads for those)18:35
