bluesabrehey everyone01:41
ochosihey bluesabre 01:45
bluesabreI need to catch up seriously bad01:45
ochosiyeah, those guys went crazy on #xfce-dev01:46
ochosinot that you actually have any git logs to check, but there was a lot of talking (:01:46
bluesabreI see that 01:46
bluesabreBusy folks!01:46
ochosisidi-valencia: yeah, not a bad idea. but then we'd have to do that for all components which means more work. and currently not even all components have proper docs, so i'd rather start there...01:46
ochosiandrzejr: yeah, saw that. i can't say i'm opposed to that, we could also try to be in sync with gnome/gtk, since that is a source of potential breakage01:47
ochosiandrzejr: one problem is though that other distro-maintainers might complain about the syncing of release schedules with one distro, plus releasing not only a distro every six months plus also the DE itself might be too much work. after all, the xubuntu dev community isn't that big either01:49
ochosibluesabre: anyway, ping me when you're done reading, although i won't be around for *much* longer01:53
bluesabreprobably won't catch up so quickly.  Saw pings for parole 0.7 docs, go ahead and patch it :)01:53
bluesabreanything else I need to do with that?01:53
ochosihm, not really. only if we want to we can try to find a sustainable automatic solution01:54
ochosibut yeah, it'd be just one more thing to do when there's a version bump (relink to newest docs)01:54
bluesabreyeah, on that same note, we'd also have to be more responsive with updating docs versions01:55
bluesabre:)01:55
bluesabrebut if that's how we want to go, that should be pretty easy01:56
ochosinot necessarily01:56
ochosiwe could make it fall back to the highest version01:56
ochosii mean highest available docs version01:56
ochosibasically, keep the highest available (stable) docs version at apps/parole/start01:56
bluesabrethat makes sense to me01:57
ochosiand only if there is an older or dev version put that in apps/parole/0.7/start01:57
ochosiso when 0.7 becomes 0.8, we move the current "master" docs to parole/0.6 and copy 0.7 over to "master"01:57
ochosihm, the about dialog has a PACKAGE_VERSION01:59
ochosiis it too hacky if i just crop out the first three characters from that?01:59
ochosibluesabre: ^02:00
bluesabrewe actually define it in the configure file, we can do some stuff at build time02:00
ochosiPACKAGE_VERSION returns e.g. "0.7.0", but we always need the first three chars02:00
ochosiunless we get >1002:00
ochosiwell yeah, that variable comes from the configure file i afaik02:01
ochosisomething like strncpy or strncat could be used i guess02:08
ochosione annoying thing about the docs is that with gtk>=3.12 there are no menuitem-icons anymore, so all the docs screenshots theoretically would have to be redone at some point, even if the UI doesn't massively change otherwise02:08
ochosi(we could also just use less screenshots)02:09
ochosi(e.g. for menus we don't necessarily need one as they're only lists)02:09
bluesabreactually, I think we removed them ourselves because of gtk 3.1202:14
bluesabreto keep things consistent for everyone02:15
ochosihmright, well doesn't really matter though, in the end it boils down to the screenshots in the docs adding maintenance load02:16
bluesabreyup :)02:17
ochosii'll consider weeding out and redoing them for 0.8 then02:18
ochosi(or asking jjfrv8 to do that :>)02:18
bluesabreheh02:20
bluesabreI'm hoping to actually get back in the xubuntu swing of things asap02:20
bluesabrebut trying to move/get ready for the new job has been a chore02:21
* skellat is having things break big time on the community governance side which is a mixed bag right now02:22
* skellat bemoans the lack of sound effects on IRC otherwise there would be copious playback of breaking glass...02:22
ochosibluesabre: yeah, i've gone through the same a few times in the last year, really sucks up a lot of time/energy...02:24
ochosiyou have my full sympathy02:24
ochosior empathy02:24
ochosior whatever *pathy you prefer02:24
ochosi(psychopathy maybe?)02:24
Cykitmhm02:24
bluesabreany and all :D02:25
sidi-valenciaochosi, i consent to doing it :-) just tell me which02:26
ochosisidi-valencia: for instance, the powerman docs are really out of date02:27
ochosimousepad doesn't even have any docs02:28
ochosietc etc02:28
ochosihave your pick02:28
sidi-valenciaahah fair enough02:28
sidi-valenciacould do it slowly02:28
ochosiyeah, or very fast!02:28
sidi-valenciajust makes it more welcoming to look at the docs02:28
sidi-valenciavery fast is incompatible with my workload02:28
sidi-valenciaanyway02:28
sidi-valenciagf is here02:28
bluesabredoing it on docs.xfce or with the staging site?02:28
sidi-valenciasurprise visit02:29
sidi-valenciattyl :D02:29
ochosiheh, hf sidi-valencia 02:29
ochosibluesabre: powerman docs on staging site. the header idea sidi wants to introduce would best be handled in some sort of template02:29
ochosiotherwise it's an annoying code-block that has to be added to every /start page02:29
bluesabreyeah02:30
bluesabrewell, if anybody needs an account, you're an admin on the staging site02:30
bluesabre:)02:30
ochosiyup :)02:30
ochosibut not on docs.xfce02:30
bluesabreokay, think I'm going to head to bed early.  Will pick up my tasks in the morning02:36
bluesabreHave a good night everyone!02:37
ochosisame here, night everyone02:50
pleia2woo, finally have vivid marketing blueprint done03:23
pleia2a month late03:24
habhattiHello.10:06
elfyhello10:11
habhattiElfy: I was recommended to speak to you for helping out with testing.10:17
elfyhabhatti: yep you can10:20
elfywhat can you test? installing? applications? 10:20
habhattiBoth.10:22
elfyok10:23
elfyare you able to run and use the dev release - or only able to do so with virtual machines?10:24
habhattiI can do it in a VM for the moment.10:26
elfyokey doke10:30
elfyso, get the daily and install that in a vm - that will test the live session and one of the install tests10:31
elfythen you can use apps in there to test them10:31
elfyhttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/326/builds10:31
elfyxubuntu is at the bottom - pick 32 or 64 bit, there are download instructions once you are in either10:32
habhattiSounds good.10:32
elfyI'm about off an on this morning 10:36
habhattiOk, thank you.10:39
elfyhabhatti: once you have downloaded whichever iso for testing - you don't need to download the whole thing again - it updates every day10:43
elfyyou can use zsync - which just grabs the difference 10:43
habhattiok10:44
ochosipleia2: congrats :)11:31
brainwashbluesabre: looks like we cannot move xfdesktop4 4.11.8 to trusty-updates, because it does not fix the icon rearrange problem completely12:01
brainwashbluesabre: also, what is the status of the weather-plugin for precise? do nothing until precise is EOL, mark it as won't fix or release an update before like next year?13:09
brainwashit's just fair to inform the users which are still using precise. it's a LTS release after all13:12
bluesabrebrainwash: does xfdesktop fix the other issues though?  Seems like 2/3 (or whatever the ratio is) is better than nothing14:49
bluesabrebrainwash: I've been busy lately, will work on the weather plugin today, assuming I am not on the road all day again :)14:50
brainwashbluesabre: I'm not sure about the other xfdesktop fixes which are mostly minor ones. The icon arrangement one is bothering many users and the new version seems to alter the bug or even introduce it to users which were not affected previously.14:56
bluesabreah, lovely14:57
knomeway15:12
knomehuh15:12
knomemissing a command char15:12
knomesee you later.15:12
habhatti?15:15
habhattiIs it normal that the vivid roadmap appears blank for me?15:16
elfyhabhatti: where are you looking? 15:18
elfythe xubuntu roadmap is indeed empty currently if that's what you mean15:19
elfyblueprints are more or less done as far as I know - https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/topic-v-flavor-xubuntu15:19
habhattiyes that's the one I was looking at 15:20
Pwnnacan anyone here reproduce https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/139552820:47
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1395528 in ubiquity (Ubuntu) "Install getting stuck on choosing a security for luks (mount unknown filesystem type 'crypto_LUKS')" [Undecided,New]20:47
