seanzGreetings. Would this be the right channel to find a package maintainer?18:22
seanzI'm looking to talk with someone who maintains a package with a Java .war file.18:23
sarnoldseanz: a click package or a .deb package?18:23
seanzsarnold: .deb package. I don't know what a click package is.18:24
seanzSo maybe click package is what I want, but I lack knowledge. :)18:24
sarnoldseanz: newfangled phone and tablet-aimed thingy :)18:24
seanzOh, nope. Not me.18:24
sarnoldseanz: try #ubuntu-devel :)18:24
seanzFor .deb package info?18:24
sarnoldyeah, more packagers will hang out there than here, I think; this channel is more for people who are building new phone and tablet applications and the infrastructure to support those18:25
seanzInteresting. #ubuntu-devel's subject line indicated this channel for "app development". I figured that meant .deb packages.18:25
seanzGot it.18:25
seanzThanks.18:25

iBelievemhall119: ping19:01
mhall119iBelieve: pong19:02
iBelievemhall119: I have questions about where to place the Settings tab/page in the File Manager app, do you know who I should talk to? My question is sparked by LP #125787119:04
ubot2Launchpad bug 1257871 in Ubuntu File Manager App "Settings should be an icon on the toolbar instead of a tab" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/125787119:04
mhall119iBelieve: I brought this up with the design team at UDS, I think the desire is to provide a consistent way of accessing app settings, but I don't think any specific approach has been chosed yet19:05
iBelievemhall119: okay, thanks19:07
mhall119np19:07
mhall119I think a button in the Toolbar is best for now19:07
mhall119IMO anyway19:07
davmor2mhall119, iBelieve: +1 for the button, the only issue then becomes the behaviour of clicking the button and which side you put the button :D19:24
mhall119I think (hope) that ultimately apps will be able to use the HUD toolbar's buttons for accessing their preferences19:26
