darkxstNoskcaj, http://pastebin.com/JYLWEBse00:06
darkxstNoskcaj, also drop r12788, apart from being empty, its not needed00:06
darkxstalso pushed a small update to the g-s-d patch00:07
NoskcajDid you just want to do the u-c-c/u-s-d stuff yourself, since you understand it?06:30
NoskcajI could, but i'd need like 5 attempts06:30
darkxstNoskcaj,you  u-s-d branch looks fine, you just need to re-do with the updated patch from my ppa07:59
darkxstu-c-c add the patch I sent you and probably a binary dep on logind08:00
darkxstI need to redo merges for g-s-d/g-c-c (for gnome-desktop transition) which is going to take quite some time I suspect08:01
darkxstNoskcaj, also can you put out a CFT and prepare FFe paperwork for upower08:02
darkxst(I've only tested the gnome stuff)08:02
Noskcajyep, will do. I'll hopefully have time sunday morning, as i've got stuff to do tonight, and a soccer grand final to play tomorrow08:36
darkxstNoskcaj, ok thanks! and good luck!08:37
Noskcajthanks08:37
=== prth is now known as prth|away
Noskcajdarkxst, I'm starting to think we've went to late for the transition, especially since xfce and mate aren't 100% ready10:23
darkxstNoskcaj, they arent?10:24
knomedarkxst, there's no way to predict all implications on everything using upower10:24
Noskcajand some guys in mate are worried that systemd-shim might not be enough for some of their stuff10:25
darkxstknome, I can predict the implications, based on the upower changes10:25
knomedarkxst, no you can't.10:26
darkxstNoskcaj, how exactly does systemd-shim even come into this conversation?10:26
knomedarkxst, i understand the upower change is part of you wanting to land a new version of GNOME. what other packages that might affect us are changing?10:26
Noskcajsuspend is dropped in upower, uses systemd10:26
darkxstknome, the upower api changes are pretty simple, small changes in the signals could I suppose slip through but easily fixed10:28
darkxstknome, only other disruptive FFe we are planning is gnome-desktop, but don't think that would affect xfce10:29
knomedarkxst, "I suppose could slip through" doesn't make me very assured that it's wise to land the change10:29
Noskcaji have to go now, bye10:29
knomedarkxst, did you talk with the release team already?10:30
knomelanding a new DE version after FF isn't really a small thing10:31
knomeconsidering there *might* be implications to others, especially with the upower chane10:31
knome+g10:31
knomeand tbh, the freeze dates are there for a reason... they are just not technical, they are also social10:32
knome*not just10:32
darkxstknome, yes I know all about freezes, nearly all our work has to land after freeze, since we are generally blocked all cycle by u-desktop work10:33
knomeis there a public blueprint for the changes you plan to land after FF?10:34
darkxstknome, no, the only thing that really might affect anyone else though is upower10:40
knomei'm not assured about that.10:41
darkxstknome, gnome-desktop only affects unity afaik10:44
knomeat least i will expect you to file the FFe bug, list all packages that will be changing and so on10:44
knomeand by you i mean i would prefer if you filed it, not make Noskcaj file it10:44
darkxstknome, we already have a bug tracking the upower transistion, Noskcaj will add the FFe paperwork, then I will review that and add any missing bits10:47
knomedarkxst, i'm sad that you make others do the dirty laundry for you; why won't you file the bug yourself?10:48
darkxstknome, its called delegation! I can't possibly do everything myself!10:49
knomesure, but you are responsible that the FFe goes smoothly, not Noskcaj10:49
darkxstknome, yes, and Noskcaj is great a packaging and what not, where as I am more a coder, if things break I will make patches to fix10:54
knomedarkxst, i'm not talking about doing the packaging work, i'm talking about taking the social responsibility10:54
darkxstknome, bug 1330037, noskcaj filed that and not about to file a new bug just to get my name against it.10:56
ubot5bug 1330037 in xfce4-settings (Ubuntu) "upower 0.99 transition" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/133003710:56
knomethat's of course irreversible, but i'm talking about the whole process.10:57
darkxstknome, and believe me, release team know I follow up on these things10:57
knomethat we will see10:58
knomedarkxst, i guess my point is: think how the way you have been preparing the changes looks to us11:04
knomewe have no information about what's going to land, we have no direct contact with you even if a package upload affects us11:05
knomeand to top that off, it's already past FF and you are planning to land a new DE version11:05
darkxstknome, all the changes are from upstream, apart from ubuntu stuff11:05
darkxstknome, upower is not a DE11:06
knomeyes, but the decision to land it after FF in ubuntu is yours, not upstreams11:06
knomegnome-desktop is11:06
darkxstknome, no it is not a DE either11:06
knomei understand you want new features in, but i'm not sure if after FF really is the only place when you can do that11:07
darkxstgnome-desktop is a library that is a bit mixed up, the stuff apps use like thumbnailers etc is largely unchanged11:07
knomeare you even trying to understand?11:08
darkxstthe rest of it that only affects unity has been blocked for ~9months now, Bug 122876511:08
ubot5bug 1228765 in unity-control-center (Ubuntu) "[FFe] Implement DisplayConfig dbus interface and transition to gnome-desktop 3.10" [Low,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/122876511:09
darkxstknome, its not like we just decided to land that now11:09
knomemaybe being past the FF is a signal that you are too late for 14.1011:09
darkxstknome, if that was the case we would never land anything ;(11:10
knomeif it is not too late, what are freezes for then?11:10
* knome shrugs11:11
darkxstknome, we have a massive overlap with ubuntu-desktop11:11
darkxstand each cycle we are blocked waiting on them to do stuff, (and that is even worse now -touch is about)11:12
knomethat sounds like another social issue to be solved11:12
darkxsthow is that social?11:12
knomeworking in a way that allows both parties to move forward and discuss changes as you go so u-g doesn't have to land all their stuff after FF?11:13
darkxstknome, we work closely with ubuntu-desktop, but its just not their priority11:28
darkxstknome, I have to run now  anyway, will be back later11:29
knomei understand that, but that doesn't mean there isn't a problem... (and i feel for you for that)11:30
knomehave a nice day!11:30
