[01:48] sgclark: I can test trusty backports when you finish it [01:48] will it be in staging ppa? [01:48] snele: yep, still one left to try and fix the build [01:48] yeah staging-kdeapplications [01:49] hush vivid, I will get to you [04:20] santa_: sorry for being non-responsive thus far [04:20] I'll read and respond to my email tonight [04:27] snele: https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/staging-kdeapplications trusty applications ready for testing [04:27] !testers [04:27] testers is Help is needed in #kubuntu-devel. Please ping Riddell, yofel, soee, Tm_T, shadeslayer, BluesKaj, James147, Quintasan, lordievader, shrini, tester56, parad1se, mamarley, alket, SourBlues, sgclark, neo31, vip, mparillo for information [04:27] ^^ [04:28] * sgclark out [04:35] niters sgclark [04:35] thanks for your work! [08:46] sgclark: upgrade didn't go smooth. there are errors: https://paste.kde.org/phoidccyk [08:49] sgclark: https://paste.kde.org/po6tolwyy [10:23] hm, we might have a packaging error for amarok 2.8.90, if I trust this guy https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323802#c18 [10:23] KDE bug 323802 in Collections/Local "amarok gives MySQL error on startup, no tracks in collection" [Grave,Resolved: fixed] [10:23] amarok should drag in MySQL by default [10:25] and amarok should be removed if something else removes MySQL [10:26] so at least the user would get aware that this could cause havoc [10:48] needs investigation what exactly amarok uses from mysql. It does depend on libmysqlclient18, so any API calls should succeed, but if you do shell calls to mysql binaries then that's a different story [11:05] Hiyas all [11:50] valorie: no prob [13:10] jmux: ping [13:11] jmux: is there going to be a Munich BSP this year [13:42] sgclark: I upgraded my 14.04 VM (It has been a while), rebooted, then I added deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/staging-kdeapplications/ubuntu trusty main to my software sources. Looks like KDE Apps 4.14.3 are available. [13:42] Is there some kind of signing issue? I get a warning (The following pieces of software cannot be verified. WARNING: Installing unverified software represents a security risk, as the presence of unverifiable software can be a sign of tampering. Do you wish to continue?) [13:43] Of course, I click continue, like 99% of folks who get malware ;-) [13:50] sgclark: I got an error: /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-window-manager-common_4%3a4.11.14-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa6_i386.deb trying to overwrite '/usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kcontrol/windowbehaviour/index.cache.bz2', which is also in package kde-workspace-data 4:4.11.11-0ubuntu0.2 [13:51] It says a re-boot is required, so I will try that, and re-try from the command line (I had been using Muon Update Manager). [14:07] Well, my Trusty VM is unusable after trying to upgrade the KDE apps. I had no windowing, so I had to ctrl alt F1 to get a tty. I logged in, tried to update && upgrade again, but got a ton of errors I could not paste. [14:42] shadeslayer: we were just talking today, that nobody made a plan yet - too busy [14:43] oh :D [14:44] I would still make one end of next month - as every year - but I don't want to do the preparations for 5 people [14:44] people here felt we're already too late [14:45] jmux: yeah it seems a bit late, but I'd still be in [14:46] If we can get a quick feedback of 10-15 people, who would come too Munich, I can probably still organizing a BSP [14:46] as long as it's not between 16th to 18th :P [14:46] I know LibreOffice is doing an other hackfest 2nd - 4th December in Madrid [14:46] jmux: I can come, as long as it's not those dates ^ :D [14:46] jmux: oh :D [14:46] jmux: could merge with that, I'd get to ride a train then :> [14:47] They had a hackfest in Hamburg two weeks ago [14:49] jmux: send a email out I guess [14:49] and find out [14:53] shadeslayer: hmm. kde-devel, kubuntu-devel... [14:53] jmux: debian-qt-kde [14:56] Ok. Guess I should add a doodle to collect feedback. === tazz_ is now known as tazz [15:18] count me in! [15:27] So I just re-checked, there is actually money :-) Still need to get some approval, which I should get on Wednesday. [15:28] Now for the mail and the doodle... === genii is now known as zombiegenii [15:52] marco-parillo: hmm that sounds terrible. got any apt logs I can look at? [15:53] ok dolphin is crashing again when Im trying to open the menu to delete an item === zombiegenii is now known as genii [15:55] sgclark: Sorry, it blew away my VM and there was nothing I could do with it. [15:55] https://paste.kde.org/pltbchtlb [15:56] Not your fault; my noob. [16:07] last call, is there anybody who can give an hour presentation of Plasma Mobile as the Ubuntu Online Summit next week? [16:16] shadeslayer, yofel: https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/LiMux_Hackfest_2015/ [16:17] mhall119: one hour :S [16:17] I don't think there's enough info for a hour [16:20] shadeslayer: apol and me spoke about it 35 min the other day don't think 1h would be horrible tbh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PtE8g8ldS0 [16:20] mhall119: I found your guys ^ [16:20] :P [16:20] but i'm not doing it again :D [16:21] shadeslayer: tsdgeos: someone in #plasma is also volunteering, perhaps you can all go in together on it? [16:21] I'm already doing the CI thingamajig with sitter [16:21] mhall119: i know nothing about plasma mobile ;D i'm just in that video as sparring asking questions [16:26] k, cya on Monday [16:27] BTW - everybody else is also free to add themself, if they want to hack in Munich too: https://dudle.inf.tu-dresden.de/LiMux_Hackfest_2015/ [16:27] would love to, but no idea how I would get therre === mck182__ is now known as mck182|laggynet [16:57] oha weisswurst hacking event [16:57] :D [16:58] kde-workspace updated. trusty needs further testing [16:58] !testers [16:58] testers is Help is needed in #kubuntu-devel.

[20:11] valorie: it would surely also send you over to motivate us all ;) [20:11] meh, it seems like quite a few people used geotagging in digikam [20:12] haha [20:12] that doesn't seem a wise use of the money [20:13] geotagging is useful! [20:13] yeah, except that we removed it in wily.. [20:13] Munich sounds fun, for sure [20:13] oh, why? [20:13] because digikam is qt4 and marble qt5 [20:13] ah [20:13] and we didn't upload another qt4 version of marble [20:13] that's a beast that needs porting [20:14] or well I guess updating the qt4 marble would be good enough? [20:15] we could put it in a PPA with a new digikam build, someone would need to package it though and make sure it doesn't conflict with marble(-qt5) [20:16] we need to packages digikam 4.14 as well (last qt4 release) [20:17] oh yeah was reading that bug right nnow [20:17] so why did we remove it? [20:17] yeah need to package kdevelop last qt4 and new kf5 beta [20:17] because building both qt4 and qt5 marble from the same package doesn't work, and nobody had time to re-package a marble-qt4 [20:17] so much to do [20:18] ah [20:19] I am trying to debug my trusty updates and reproduce the explosion mparillo had. [20:20] still have vivd backports too [20:20] problem with those is that we do a rather bad job at tracking moved files after multiple releases and multiple debian merges [20:20] let me install trusty in a VM [20:20] yeah [20:20] thanks [20:22] well found problem one: libkdedecorationsabi1 [20:23] so abi need breaks replaces? [20:23] seems like that should be done by manager [20:23] if it contains anything other than the lib, yes [20:23] okies fixing [20:26] hmm there is a breaks replace in there === tom_ is now known as Guest44802 [20:29] ahh right ok, dummy me, have to do dist-upgrade due to the new dependencies [20:29] mparillo: did you do dist-upgrade? [20:30] file overwrites are unrelated to the upgrade type though... let me read the error message again [20:31] hmm shouldnt be any file overwrites , I fixed the one in kde-workspace [20:34] oh, that breaks/replaces is useless. trusty-updates has kde-workspace-data 4:4.11.11-0ubuntu0.2, the B/R is kde-workspace-data (<< 4:4.11.11) [20:34] 4:4.11.11-0ubuntu0.2 > 4:4.11.11 [20:35] hmm insstalled fine here [20:35] should be << 4:4.11.14~ or os [20:35] *so [20:35] yes, because the order in which apt upgrades packages is non-deterministic [20:35] ok [20:36] it depends on how the algorithm orders the packages to resolve dependencies [20:37] which is why a simple upgrade test is not a sufficent test case for file overwrites, but to properly detect those you would need to read the whole install files diff [20:37] maybe one could integrate something like that into the CI with a simple hashmap file DB or so which checks if a file was already in a package in the past [20:38] that would then also catch files that moved between sources [20:39] I think it is in CI, problem is trusty packages are not :( [20:40] yeah :/ === genii is now known as zombiegenii [20:42] uploaded fixed kde-workspace [20:42] will need testing after build === zombiegenii is now known as genii [20:46] sgclark: what's supported as upgrade path? trusty -> new backports and trusty+old backports -> new backports? [20:48] hmm not sure. I did trusty updates, then rebooted and added the ppa and then dist-upgrade with success [20:48] did not try a path with backports [20:48] though I reckon it needs to be tested [20:49] it does, as that's where the packages will end up, so all that have the backports enabled will go that path [20:49] I guess I'll start with that then [20:49] thank you [20:50] wait for kde-workspace to build though [20:50] will do, my VM is still installing anyway ^^ [20:50] :) [21:00] mm [21:00] * yofel sees ahoneybun and remembers that he forgot something [21:00] dangit [21:01] lol [21:01] I did not mean it like that [21:01] XD [21:02] but I'll take it lol [21:05] sgclark: I first tried muon (which I assume does not do a dist-upgrade), but when I pretty much had no gui after a re-boot, I did update && upgrade && dist-upgrade from apt. [21:06] hm.. plasma2, so nostalgic :D === genii is now known as zombiegenii [21:07] lol === zombiegenii is now known as genii [21:07] hmm [21:08] yofel: muon updater does not dist upgrade? that could be a problem [21:09] I don't know actually.. let me check [21:09] though this is not the first mass updates, seems like this issue would have come up in the apst [21:09] past [21:09] hm, if I just add the backports ppa, then muon-updater does ask me to remove 3 packages. That's a dist-upgrade [21:09] mparillo: did you do a dpkg --force overwirte on that package that failed? [21:10] ok cool, good to know [21:10] so that is not it. [21:10] seems like kde-workspace did not get installed, it has since been fixed [21:11] which is why testing is so important! [21:12] sgclark: I did not dpkg -- force; when I was on the commandline it said something like apt install -f, which I did try. [21:13] ok so kde-workspace did not get installed, that is why your gui exploded [21:13] that has been fixed, thanks to your testing, sorry for the loss of your VM [21:16] sgclark: My pleasure to help out. I actually miss 14.04 (and really miss 14.10), but I do not miss that VM. BTW, I am back home now, so I am re-creating the 14.04 VM on my work laptop, while I can IRC on my netbook (Kubuntu is the only Plasma5 distro that is happy on a 1GB netbook). [21:16] protip: use VM snapshots for testing ;) [21:17] sgclark: did you get my messages about trusty backports? [21:17] yeah I had snapshots at one point. really need to set that up again [21:17] snele: hmm no [21:20] sgclark: upgrade didn't go smooth. there are errors: https://paste.kde.org/phoidccyk [21:20] sgclark: https://paste.kde.org/po6tolwyy [21:20] snele: kde-workspace is now fixed [21:21] which is the source of that mess [21:21] and thanks to testers it was caught and fixed! [21:22] * yofel kicks the publisher [21:22] it's in weekend mood -.- [21:22] lol [21:22] yofel: this "bug" with notification spam when there are some updates its part of kde/plasma or ubuntu/kubuntu releated stuff / [21:22] "spam" ? [21:22] I only ever see one notification when there are updates [21:23] snele: as soon as it publishes an apt update and dist-upgrade should sort it all out. [21:23] yofel: yes, when apt update command is fetching packages, and there are some updates, we see notification every few seconds [21:23] I only see one [21:23] a bit annoying tbh [21:23] I am on CI though so it must have been fixed upstream? [21:23] ah, that might be due to how apt-check works.. [21:24] now the question is whether that's from muon-updater or kubuntu-notification-helper (I think it's the updater) [21:24] sgclark: always one time notification ? [21:24] got one notification and have a red icon in tray [21:26] snele: yofel updated kde-workspace has published [21:26] so, did an apt update. 3 updates before, 3 updates after it and no notification at all [21:27] yofel: 15.10 ? [21:27] yep [21:27] oh hmm I have no updates and it is red, that is unexpected [21:28] yofel: For VM snapshots, I think I would have to upgrade my VMware Player to Workstation. Fortunately my work laptop makes installation relatively quick. And re-start is complete. Step 1 is to upgrade, dist-upgrade 14.04 and re-boot? [21:28] is red not bad? [21:28] when I see red I expect attention is required [21:28] ditto [21:28] red in the updates means security updates I believe [21:29] that is what I would expect, but my system has no updates [21:29] System up to date [21:29] pending reboot? [21:29] but red >.< [21:29] oh hmm [21:29] been a few kernel updates recently [21:29] don't think so , but perhap, used to get another notification for that though [21:30] rebooted today [21:30] sgclark: this is how it behaves now, if you do updates those icons stay in systray till reboot [21:30] or also after reboot [21:30] it remains red forever because I had security updates? that does not seem logical [21:31] * yofel might be wrong.. [21:31] ok rebooting to see for myself, I am now curious [21:32] hm, here updater doesn't seem quite in sync with apt [21:32] installed all 3 updates, now I still have a green symbol telling me that I have 3 pending updates [21:34] yofel: @ this notification spam, i think the slower connection/more time it need to fetch packages, the more the same notification we see [21:34] i remember on a slow connection i'v seen it like 20 times [21:36] which makes be really believe that this is related to apt-check. That can trigger multiple times during an update run [21:38] my top 3 'visual' bugs in 15.10: 1. missing nm/plasma-pa icon in systray (plasma devs tries to fix it, but no fix yet), 2. updates icon stays in systray when there are no updates, 3. updates notification spam :) [21:40] ok reboot and now my updates icon is green and in the hidden icons panel [21:40] which is fine [21:40] but I have to enter my wifi password every time now. Which is exteremly annoying [21:41] sgclark: i can confirm that apt update, apt install -f and apt dist-upgrade fixed issue. Thank you for doing backports [21:41] excellent, thanks for testing! [21:43] boom [21:43] Unpacking plasma-dataengines-workspace (4:4.11.14-0ubuntu1~ubuntu14.04~ppa8) over (4:4.11.11-0ubuntu0.2) ...

[21:44] this is clunky :( [21:44] april 2019 [21:44] ouch [21:45] well, that does not include our PPA, but it is nice to care about it. (And we usually do that until the next LTS is out) [21:45] so, april next year [21:45] ok [21:46] http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Fedora-KDE-SIG-Loss [21:46] I don't see kde putting out much more in qt4, though do you know if they will? [21:46] I don't think they will. Maybe the occasional security patch or so === genii is now known as zombiegenii [21:47] oh right, I did want to upload that sddm CVE [21:49] sgclark: My 14.04 VM is dist-upgraded. Ready for me to re-try the PPA? [21:49] nah gotta wait again, yofel found another boom === zombiegenii is now known as genii [21:50] fixing now [21:50] I can wait. Dinner soon however. BTW, can the PPA be applied by adding the source in Muon-updater, and using it? Or do I need to also apt dist-upgrade? [21:51] muon will dist-upgrade [21:51] uh finally it has Critical importance https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1501041 [21:51] Launchpad bug 1501041 in xorg-server (Ubuntu) "No visible display in non gnome sessions when using nvidia drivers via nvidia-prime until screen goes to sleep, then waked up" [Critical,Confirmed] [21:52] TY. So I will wait for the testers call then? [21:52] yeah uploading now, but needs to build [21:53] may I just say: y'all rock [21:53] and I love you all [21:53] * sick_rimmit Waves, Nods and Grins [21:53] Yes.. Y'all do [21:53] :) [21:54] :) === mck182|laggynet is now known as mck182__ === benonsoftware is now known as MisterHiyas [22:13] valorie: {{{hugs}}} [22:14] thank you mparillo! [22:14] {{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}} to you as well [22:14] P.S. During the drama, I tried Fedora 22 KDE. Not even close. [22:15] I love that we are on the cutting (and even bleeding) edge [22:15] AND that we take care of our silent LTS users [22:15] all those people who never file a bug report or complain on IRC/lists/forums [22:15] Fedora has it's use cases, but it's more for devs I think [22:16] opensuse is usually the RPM user distro [22:18] I have not really found a distro I hated. I have enjoyed most at one time or another. Community is what has kept me here the longest. [22:19] yofel: True, but some RPMs that claim to be both for Fedora and OpenSUSE are only really tested on Fedora (I have been burned). [22:19] sgclark: +1 [22:19] so true, sgclark [22:20] same experience here [22:23] Before I used Kubuntu, I tried OpenSUSE, which was a disaster (this was in 2006, so don't hold it against them). I gave up when the attitude of the people that had broken the latest OpenSUSE release was that if I wanted it to work, I should be using SLED. [22:24] And SLED (at least today) defaults to gnome. [22:25] At the time, I don't think it did. [22:25] Either way, it led to me having a requirement for a distro I used to not be a 'community edition' of the real product. [22:27] We have a brilliant community here, I have been hanging around Linux and Open Source since the Dark Ages. We have a special friendly environment. [22:28] I am really hoping to do my part in growing and developing that.. [22:28] As long as you keep your head down and don't get the CC annoyed at you, sure. [22:29] Well I think my contribution sits in Promotion, Advocacy and Talk.. [22:29] I do lots of Talking [22:29] I like talking [22:29] and there is chance I might be good at it [22:29] I'm worried about packagers and release managers.. [22:30] I've tried working on packaging. I can do it, but it takes a lot of focused time [22:30] This is something I have very little of, family, young children, work [22:30] So I run around saying [22:31] "Yay Kubuntu, try it. It's ACE!" [22:31] lol [22:33] the community is +1 to me as well, openSUSE I find a big hard to get into [22:34] ScottK: that is a concern, since I think we all continue to object to the canonical IP policy [22:34] and I for one will not let that go [22:35] I worry less about the fact that people are objecting and more about how the fact that the CC got tired of hearing about it was handled. [22:35] we aren't just "open source" [22:35] we're free and open [22:35] are the KCC putitng out a statement about who is taking over from Jonathan? [22:35] Need to decide first. [22:35] clivejo: should we? [22:35] valorie: You need to pick a release manager. [22:36] yofel and me as backup [22:36] it has to be one person? [22:36] For a long time it's been JR and me as assistant. [22:36] I'd like to see a team [22:36] I dunno, I thought thats what you guys do! [22:36] valorie: Primary and alternate is great. [22:36] yofel as main and me as backup! [22:36] clivejo: release management is a technical function. KC does is broader than that. [22:36] ok, as long as both people are trained [22:36] I was expecting a statement following Jon's stepping down [22:37] KC is mostly about Kubuntu members [22:37] trained? [22:37] by whom? [22:37] right, that's the plan, we just didn't send a mail out yet. I'll talk to the release team over the weekend about how what where we should do that [22:37] valorie: You also get to decide non-technical policy and stuff. [22:37] sgclark: I'm worried about the bus factor [22:37] bus factor? [22:37] I'm happy to assist/train. [22:37] life happens, as we've seen [22:37] ScottK: cool [22:38] yofel and I already agreed to team it, he just is taking lead [22:38] bus factor = what happens when the expert gets hit by a bus? [22:38] thanks yofel [22:39] I think more than two is too many cooks in the kitchen [22:39] I'm willing to write a press release if that is a useful thing [22:39] valorie: number of people that have to be hit by a bus for a project to die [22:39] sgclark: a small number is good if there is some documentation [22:39] IF [22:40] and I assume that the job has changed some over the years [22:40] yofel: yes, I've heard that version too [22:40] One challenge both of you will have that neither JR nor I did is that you aren't on the ~ubuntu-release team. That's not essential, but it does make some things easier. [22:41] To up your chances of being on the team, you want to get core-dev. [22:41] so we have yofel -> me -> and ScottK to assist, I think we will survive [22:41] right, but I think we'll manage still - we'll just be slower [22:41] * yofel aims for MOTU first, then I'll go from there [22:41] Yeah. [22:41] same [22:41] Good plan. [22:41] I at least need new-source upload rights, otherwise things will get painful [22:41] I am willing to put inn the effort to be on the necessary teams [22:42] in [22:43] kde-workspace is ready yofel mparillo [22:43] please test :) [22:44] sgclark: what I meant by training was having someone to answer questions, and just learning on the job [22:44] shadeslayer can tell you about the joys of MOTU [22:44] :-) [22:44] that depends , has Jonathan said anything about training yofel? [22:44] yofel: You might want to consider just syncing Kf5 from Debian this cycle. maxyz has been pretty quick about uploading new releases and it would make things easier. [22:45] ScottK: does that mean junking the CI work? [22:45] I don't know. [22:45] I'm not sure how good that'll work out with our branches, but that would be a good idea probably [22:45] It all comes out of the same git repositories, so it may just mean pointing at different branches. [22:45] I do not wish to junk that, but I don't know that we have a server to keep it on [22:45] well, doesn't ubuntu now have CI? [22:46] OTOH, if we can do easy merges, then that would also be an idea [22:46] ubuntu uses CI for autopackagetests at least [22:46] yeah but it does nt have the tololing harald worked on for kde specific stuff [22:46] tooling [22:46] * sgclark can't type [22:47] I could likely take it over , but I do not have the resources to host it [22:47] would be good to get that moved onto Ubuntu infra, IMO [22:47] or work out something with Harald/JR [22:47] not sure what they are up to, technically [22:48] I can help out with the hosting for the time being if we really need to set up our own [22:48] we'll see [22:49] Mark ddid say to let him know if we need anything, so there is that [22:50] heh [22:51] hmmm, sitter isn't here -- I would value his insight [22:51] Riddell: anything to add? [22:51] It shouldn't be that hard to merge the debian branches into the unstable ones. Feel free to ping me if you find a big divergence. [22:51] thnas maxyz :) [22:51] err thanks [22:52] it certainly not hard to merge them, I'm just curious if there's a reasonable way to automate it [22:52] *it's [22:54] If you promise me that the person that signs the uploaded tags knows about them I'll consider to start merging them again... [22:54] fiddle with this https://github.com/apachelogger/kubuntu-repo-merge ? [22:54] But right now I need to go to bed [22:54] night :) [22:55] signs the uploaded tags - what does that mean? [22:56] afk [23:04] yofel: do-all git merge ... ? [23:04] right, I'm more wondering about how to handle conflicts (e.g. changelog) [23:05] I think there was something to handle that automagically [23:06] there is dpkg-mergechangelogs [23:06] need to look how to use that again [23:07] regarding the packaging, I don't think syncing packages from debian is a good solution, but merging the branches and upload the packages [23:08] I can help with that, my only problem, as usual, is the lack of permissions everywhere [23:16] I'm sure the fact that you're banned from Debian Qt-KDE doesn't affect that opinion. [23:20] well we need to do whatever results in the best end user experience while we rebuild our process [23:22] ScottK: well, banned or not I can help with the upload of new packages to kubuntu, however not having permissions to do things such as uploading to ppa's - for instance - limits my ability to help, obviously [23:23] it is an LTS so stability is of great importance [23:23] santa_: you have to apply for kubuntu dev then [23:23] sgclark: yep, in process to get the kubuntu membership already [23:24] ok [23:27] I would find it surprising if your perspective on the usefulness of syncing from Debian wasn't colored by your experience there. [23:28] Of course my perspective about Debian is also based on my experience with it. [23:28] are we really that far diverged from them? I dont think we are [23:28] Not where I've checked. [23:28] and we need to do debian merges anyway [23:29] dunno I think at least for this release it is a good idea. yofel and I still have alot of work with getting on teams and whatnot [23:30] never ending backports [23:30] and everything else [23:30] we need more packagers >.< [23:30] well, I don't think withdrawing kubuntu's ability to upload its own packages is going to help in the long term [23:31] oh we withdraw the ability to upload? [23:31] where did that come from? [23:31] that does not sound right [23:32] I didn't hear about that, and I'm fairly certain that's not the plan [23:32] doesn't change the fact that we barley have any people left that can upload more than the kubuntu set [23:32] I can only upload kubuntu and not even all of that [23:33] so yeah I have to fix that [23:36] sgclark: but you can upload all of frameworks/plasma/apps? [23:36] few lingering apps that I get rejects on [23:37] but mostly yeah [23:40] ScottK: but indeed my opinions of debian are "coloured" by my experience there - such as the well known lack of manpower of the debian qt/kde team and other things [23:41] which I suffered in first person, and which was a problem before I joined, while I was in, and after I left === nhandler is now known as evilnhandler [23:44] well we are going to have that problem here. So we need to make do with what have and make the best of it. [23:45] that depends on the direction that the project takes [23:46] that's "terra incognita" for now [23:47] I think with the right people here, with a minimum of 3 packagers we have the thing saved [23:48] or even 1 XD [23:48] but I think there will be more than one I hope [23:48] we will see how the thing evolves
