knomehey sean00:09
bluesabrehey pasi00:09
knomewhat's up?00:10
bluesabrenm, just got home from work and dinner00:10
Unit193Figured may as well backport the -pulseaudio- from the repos.00:12
Unit193https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/extras/+packages oh right, forgot about the different dep.00:17
flocculantUnit193: changelog - didn't know apt-listchanges - but surely /usr/share won't help to see what's changed in a ppa before it's updated? 07:34
Unit193flocculant: Hah, correct.  Though, apt-listchanges can be noisy.07:34
flocculantrightio 07:35
Unit193flocculant: apt-listdifferences is even more fun. :P07:36
flocculant:)07:37
flocculantI can guess that :D07:37
flocculantUnit193: so all in all - checking the changelist on the ppa package detail page is the best option ?07:40
Unit193Likely.07:41
flocculant:)07:42
flocculantbluesabre: thanks - fiddled a bit more with it - but you'll see that anyway :)07:48
Unit193xubuntu.xenial: Unit 193 <unit193@....com> xubuntu.xenial * 992 /  supported: Add xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin to supported09:02
sorinel1oUnit193, Hello. You wanted to PM me yesterday, but I was off. I'm on GMT+2.09:23
bluesabreUnit193: nice10:58
Unit193bluesabre: Also hit up whisker.10:58
bluesabrealso good to see that supported started working for our packageset at some point10:58
bluesabrehttp://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/packagesets/xenial/xubuntu10:58
Unit193Yes it did!10:58
bluesabredid you do that?10:58
Unit193Added supported to packageset?  No.10:59
bluesabrehm10:59
bluesabremaybe something just started working, or somebody fixed a bug in secret10:59
bluesabre:D10:59
bluesabreflocculant: well done, looks good11:01
akxwi_daveflocculant, I'm going thru some of the testcases for the packages, but the file  a bug link doesn't let me file one..11:38
akxwi_davei'll post a failed for the moment with the bug details in comments and then file the bug report when it lets me.11:49
akxwi_daveok change that to In-progress with the bugs in comments11:52
akxwi_daveoff for lunch back later12:02
flocculantakxwi_dave: in for a short while - when you're back can you explain what "the file  a bug link " refers to :)12:52
akxwi_davehi mate, when you are on the tracker, and go thru the testcase, at the bottom you have th option  to submit the failure or pass etc, on the  option to submit the pafiled, it has a link to File a big13:03
akxwi_davebug*13:03
akxwi_davewhen you lclick on it, it take you to a page that says... Bug reporting instructions for Xubuntu Desktop13:04
akxwi_daveYou are currently on: Ubuntu Package Testing13:04
akxwi_daveThis product doesn't have detailed bug reporting instructions yet.13:04
flocculantakxwi_dave: yea - never noticed that before :p13:04
flocculantakxwi_dave: basically report a bug with ubuntu-bug packagename (for non-ppa) or if that fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/PACKAGENAME/+filebug13:06
flocculantchanging the packagename to suit 13:06
akxwi_davecheers will try it that way..13:06
flocculantthen once you've got a number you can add it to a test result13:06
flocculantbluesabre: something I just thought of - if we keep getting fails - gmb say - we can disable that from testing, then re-enable it when we know there's a fix13:07
flocculantcould get that kind of info on qa trello for testers so they know not to bother 13:08
akxwi_davecheers flocculant, reported those bugs13:19
akxwi_davebbl13:57
dkesselyay, xenial images are there :)17:45
* drc bets that if one installs that image, it'll still say 15.10 wily :)17:46
dkesselprobably :)17:48
dkesseljust like everytime17:49
flocculantI would be extremely surprised if that wasn't the case :)17:58
flocculantdkessel: did you catch my ping the other day re autopkg tests? 17:59
dkesselflocculant: yup thanks. i'll have a look and only add it back if i am sure something will happen18:00
flocculantyep - works for me :)18:00
dkesselbluesabre, would it be possible to build the mousepad version in the xubuntu-dev PPA against GTK3, just like the version in wily/xenial?18:24
flocculantbluesabre: something odd in xenial - just did an update - now have both evince-gtk and evince installed 18:32
flocculant-gtk now appears to have evince as a depends18:34
flocculantknome: when you've a handful of minutes :p18:35
dkesseldo we need to remove some dependencies on python2 in our default packages, or is there nothing left to do for us? i noticed normal ubuntu wants to move to a python3 default installation18:40
flocculantno idea myself 18:41
Noskcajflocculant, debian is making evince-gtk go away19:38
flocculantmmm19:38
flocculantNoskcaj: k - thanks - now I can't see why we went to -gtk19:39
Noskcajlowering deps, but really it's just the two minor ones listed https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=75507119:39
ubottuDebian bug 755071 in evince-gtk "evince-gtk still necessary?" [Minor,Fixed]19:39
knomeflocculant, hello19:40
flocculantknome: hey :)19:41
flocculantI'm thinking about the contribute page again ... 19:41
knomeyep19:41
flocculantand now wondering if wiki -> /Xubuntu/Testing/few child pages 19:42
flocculantis a better way of dealing with it 19:42
flocculantpro's being that each page can grow easily as needed/or shrink19:43
flocculantcon - being that we've not much control - other than reverting a change19:43
flocculantjust wondered what you thought of that 19:43
flocculantthen just have basic information on website pointing elsewhere as necessary19:45
flocculantI want to try and start including those like akxwi in stuff tbh 19:48
Noskcajbluesabre, Do you have any issues with reverting the evince-gtk dep?19:49
flocculantNoskcaj: so reading that - the reasoning is one person didn't like there being 2 evinces? 19:54
Noskcajit doubled the build time, and was mostly unneeded.19:55
flocculantapart from the bits that obviously caused us to move to -gtk from evince19:55
NoskcajWe seem to already have all the r-deps, so in it's current state this isn't an issue for us19:55
Noskcajsince the nautilus thing was dropped19:56
flocculantright - as I said I'm not finding why we did it19:56
Noskcajkilling the nautilus dep i think19:57
knomeflocculant, sorry for disappearing...19:58
knomeflocculant, anyway, i really wouldn't want to start using the wiki more :(19:58
flocculantknome: that's ok :)19:58
knomeslickymaster, you around?19:59
flocculantknome: I realise that - but frankly editing website is just a pain 19:59
flocculantnot the actual editing - the only *foo* can19:59
knomeflocculant, yep, i'm not exactly saying we should use the website either19:59
knomeflocculant, maybe the docbook way would be the best, even if it means people need to be able to write docbook...20:00
flocculantmy issue is making the information both as encyclopaedic as we need and in as short a text per subject as possible20:00
flocculantand a website page 6 metres long won't be much fun :)20:00
knomeyep20:01
Unit193TBH, Docbook isn't as nice as other markup languages.20:01
flocculantknome: re docbook - I don't care one way or the other - but then where does it land for people to read20:01
knomeUnit193, but we already use fit for docs20:01
knomeflocculant, as i said before, it can be any subdomain on xubuntu.org20:02
knomeflocculant, or docs.xubuntu.org/developers20:02
knomeflocculant, and we can ship it in pdf20:02
knomeUnit193, s/fit/it/20:02
flocculantso we could docs.xubuntu.org/qa then sub pages? 20:02
Unit193I gathered that, and know that yep.20:02
knomeflocculant, well, i'd make one documentation for all contributor documentation20:03
knomeflocculant, so sth like docs.xubuntu.org/contributors and then same index as the regular docs20:03
knomeand structure20:03
flocculantright ok - so long as there are *pages* 20:03
knomesure20:03
knomecomparing to http://docs.xubuntu.org/1504/C/index.html20:04
knomei would imagine QA would be in the same level as "What is Xubuntu?"20:04
knomeand different subtopics under that20:04
flocculantso say Developer section > Chapters, QA section > Chapters20:04
flocculantyep 20:04
knomei know the chapters are currently shown all on one page20:04
knomebut that can be changed20:04
knomeif we feel like it's necessary20:05
knomethen also,20:05
knomeappendix for basic stuff20:05
knomelike "how to register a launchpad account"20:05
flocculantso front page could just be Dev/QA/Docs for instance20:05
flocculantyep20:05
knomeand "how to work with bzr"20:05
flocculantsaved me typing ... 20:05
flocculantlol20:05
knomeyes, the front page would be a very simple index with a nice hello message20:06
flocculantok - so I can work with that plan - as long as it's not 16.10 :D20:06
knomeas i said before and as you know, we have the doc building process ready 20:07
knomeso we just need to copy that and start working on the docbook stuff20:07
knomebut i'd like to quickly run this through slickymaster 20:07
knometo make sure he doesn't completely disagree20:07
flocculantyea yea - I understand we have the behind curtain available20:07
knomeyep, what i'm saying is that there isn't nothing that is slowing us down except ourselves :P20:08
flocculant:D20:09
knomebbiab20:14
flocculanthttp://xubuntu.org/?p=3559&preview=true20:22
flocculantbiab too20:22
Unit193Also, will pop the new -pulseaudio- into Extras, want -staging too?20:25
flocculantUnit193: I guess you're not asking me - but I have extras so ... 20:50
flocculanthi akxwi-dave - re the bug reporting link - fixed20:50
Unit193flocculant: Honestly?  You'd likely care the most.20:50
flocculantakxwi-dave: re the other bug - I changed the package - but the fix is done now20:51
flocculantUnit193: yea - so I'll see if from extras is what I meant :)20:51
flocculantat least it'll be fairly simple to tell you my world imploded :D20:51
akxwi-davecheers floc, will re-run those test20:52
flocculantakxwi-dave: shouldn't need to do that - I saw the issue so I know it's fixed :)20:52
flocculantwasn't actually a package problem but a testcase one20:52
akxwi-daveok mate.. :-) 20:53
flocculantakxwi-dave: also - better to tab people's whole name in IRC - if I wandered off I'd not see floc :p20:53
flocculantUnit193: what's the soundmenu plugin? possible replacement? 20:54
Unit193soundmenu is the mpris2 (media controls) panel plugin, we liked pulseaudio better and want that to grow them.20:56
flocculantk 20:56
akxwi-daveJust a quick question on testcases, if I have run some under a vm, would you want those re-doing on real hardware as well? I knwo some would be better on real hardware like power manger etc? 20:58
flocculantif something doesn't run properly in a vm - there should be a note to say that20:58
flocculantgenerally for a package testing in a vm is enough to check it works as expected20:59
akxwi-davethanks flocculant.. just wanted to ensure that i don't go to overboard..:-)20:59
flocculantyou won't go overboard :)21:00
flocculantthere's no such thing as too much testing in relation to having ~10 people regularly test things :D21:00
akxwi-davenice to know, well time for the wife and wine, have a good evening all21:01
flocculantthanks akxwi-dave :)21:01
flocculantUnit193: oh - did it fail to build for xenial? 21:18
flocculantknome: when you get time can you check out the draft post on x.org :)21:46
knomeyep21:48
flocculantta 21:48
bluesabreevening all22:09
flocculantevening bluesabre 22:09
bluesabreNoskcaj: probably fine to go ahead and return to evince22:09
bluesabreflocculant: I like the idea of disabling a test if its known to already fail22:09
flocculantI'd not thought of that before 22:10
bluesabredkessel: yes, I think that would be logical for -gtk3 mousepad builds to be in the ppa :)22:10
flocculantseems a bit silly to leave it there till we know it's fixed 22:10
bluesabreagreed22:10
flocculantbluesabre: I'll go ahead as and when then - just need some sort of agreement about how much fail is enough :D22:11
flocculanttake gmb - fails when closing - I'd remove it 22:11
flocculantand fails all the time - not one person here and there 22:11
bluesabremaybe 3 "me toos" and 1 "still affects me, when is it getting fixed?"22:11
bluesabre:)22:12
flocculantbluesabre: ok - that sounds fair :)22:12
flocculantI'll disable gmb then :D22:12
bluesabre:D22:12
flocculantbluesabre: it is mentioned in a post I've got drafted - but adding them to disabled test list at https://trello.com/b/IV66JCHl/xubuntu-qa22:13
bluesabre:)22:13
Unit193flocculant: ...I haven't gotten to it yet. :322:14
Unit193bluesabre: ...I'm not supposed to update gmb?22:14
flocculantbluesabre: I did check to make sure we didn't lose results from the tracker by the way :)22:14
bluesabreUnit193: please update gmb22:14
flocculantthought that got turned off ... going to get noisy while I try remembering how to do something ... 22:16
knomeflocculant, i poked many places in the article - mostly just saying things in a better form22:17
flocculantwell - depends if it still says what I want it to ;)22:18
Unit193bluesabre: K, was going to take a vcs snapshot of Debian.22:18
flocculantoh my 22:18
flocculantread that as vlc and shuddered violently 22:19
bluesabreUnit193: good deal22:19
Unit193Yeeeah, not touching VLC.  Was thinking about doing xscreensaver merge, if I can line up a sponsor.22:19
bluesabrebbiab22:20
slickymasterI am now knome 22:20
slickymasterevening all22:20
flocculanthi slickymaster 22:20
slickymasterhey flocculant 22:20
knomeslickymaster, see the discussion about contributor docs just begore that ping22:21
* slickymaster goes through the backlog22:21
knome*before22:21
knomeflocculant, should do22:21
slickymasterI don't disagree at all, knome 22:26
slickymasterflocculant ^^22:26
knomeok22:27
slickymastertbh today I took a look at http://xubuntu.org/contribute/qa/ and it's a big wall of thext22:27
knomeslickymaster, some of that is totally moving to the contributor docs22:27
knomeslickymaster, that's part of the reason we want one :P22:28
slickymasterthing is, pages tend to grow22:28
slickymasternot the other way around22:28
knomeonce we have that, we can keep the stuff on the website at minimum22:28
knomeeven just one page22:28
slickymasteryeah, and even though Unit193could be right about the docbook markup value, we do have it now22:28
slickymasterãnd we already have a structure build with it22:29
slickymasterso it's only natural to use it, imo22:29
flocculantslickymaster: "big wall of thext" which is why I'm wanting to do something else 22:29
knomeflocculant, as i just said... ;)22:29
slickymasteryeaps, and that's why I agree with you two22:29
flocculantprobably - fighting trello too ... ;)22:29
slickymasterhm hm22:30
knomeflocculant, stop typing, you'll just end up repeating me anyway!22:30
flocculantha ha ha 22:30
slickymasterand besides, we do have a few of us able to cope with docbook markup anyway22:30
* slickymaster is +1 on that idea22:31
flocculantthe other day I did fight with the current qa page and docbook so can get a draft on there pretty swiftly to see how it pans out22:31
slickymasterflocculant, practice makes perfection 22:33
flocculantperfect22:33
flocculant:p22:33
slickymasterok ok :P22:33
Unit193slickymaster: My point wasn't that the docs could be something other than docbook, but that we wouldn't have to use it with new stuff.22:34
Unit193flocculant: As knome pointed out to me, if people don't like the notifications, it's simple to ignore.  Unless there's another issue.22:34
flocculantnah - not too worried you all know I do something then kill it and have another go :p22:35
Unit193(Notices don't get logged nor ping me. :D )22:36
slickymasterok Unit193, I misinterpreted you22:37
flocculantUnit193: yep - saw that afterwards :p22:37
slickymasterflocculant, are these already made tests your's? http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/350/builds/105268/testcases22:37
slickymaster* yours22:38
flocculantknome: ack - that works for me - I'm logged in and can press the button22:38
flocculantslickymaster: those are the pkg testsuites we're using this cycle yes22:38
slickymasterthat's not what I'm asking flocculant22:39
flocculantok - what are you asking then - not sure what you mean :)22:39
slickymasterwhat I'm asking is if it was you who run them and report the bugs?22:40
flocculantoic 22:40
flocculanta couple - akxwi did a bunch too22:40
slickymasterthere are already three tests registred22:41
slickymasterok22:41
