mparilloThank you valorie. It never occurred to me to drag them around. I used to right click and sort by name, and that was removed in 5.5.3. I thought only gnome removed features ;-)01:27
valoriemparillo: I never used it any other way04:03
valorieperhaps people didn't use that option?04:03

valorie!info plasma-widget-fancytasks06:15
ubottuPackage plasma-widget-fancytasks does not exist in wily06:15
valoriewhy on earth is Ubuntu providing this for Xenial? http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Fancy+Tasks?content=9973706:17
valorieaccording to http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/ftbfs/ 06:20
valorieI don't see how any of those ftbfs they list for us, are ours06:27
Mirvmamarley: just delayed due to lots of other things. that's the PPA it will eventually be in.07:25
nicolsmorning!08:34
soeehiho08:40
nicolsis it posible to patch this and push to backport-landing: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-4832109:12
nicolsi have some experience with patching and compiling but i don't know anything about packaging09:14
nicolsbut i am willing to learn it :)09:14
valorieexcellent!09:15
valoriewe need packagers and fixers09:16
nicolsvalorie: can you recommend some online tutorials?09:16
nicolsi am good at system administration and bash and i have some decent infrastructure, i can run several machines (metal or vm) for testing ... also have 100/100m link :)09:18
valorienicols: we're trying to create a packaging doc09:20
valoriehttps://notes.kde.org/p/kubuntu-packaging09:20
valorieyou log in with your KDE identity09:21
nicolsi know i work mostly with debian (servers) and kubuntu desktops .... in our company we are all on kubuntu. it is great for us, and i always felt i need to give something back to comunity. we are also supporting and sponsoring local opensource events in cratia, and we are Software Freedom Conservancy supporters ... also sponsoring our local openstreetmap community09:21
valorieas you learn our procedures, please update the doc!09:21
valoriethat is excellent09:21

nicolsmorning!09:43
soeebonjour :)09:44
* soee is upgrading his PC @ work to Plasma 5.5.3 from backports-landing09:44
valorieI'm hoping it gets to backports today09:48
soeeback :)10:04
acher88got a vivid machine to upgrade sometime, that has the plasma packages pinned back to KDE4 ones. should be interesting to take that up to wily/xenial with 5.5.310:15
viphowdy10:56
Quintasanyofel: I can't say I remembered about uploading stuff on Sunday but I was hanging around on IRC. What happened to that?10:58
yofelQuintasan: delayed by me running out of energy. And as you can't upload frameworks right now I didn't see a point in pinging you10:59
QuintasanI see.11:00
QuintasanWell, I'm at work not able to do work so feel free to bother me in case anything comes up.11:00
* clivejo wonders why his ears are burning11:03
* yofel blames the cold11:17
BluesKaj'Morning folks11:40
soeehiho BluesKaj11:47
BluesKajhey soee11:47
soeeyofel: i did an upgrade today to 5.5.3 on Wily here @ work, all went fine11:47
MaxirideHow it's going the plasma 5.5.3 testing? I've upgraded my laptop to help testing it out but few days has passed and everything went smoothly there.12:05
soeeMaxiride: yofel has to give green light and upload it i think :)12:07
mparilloI assume to Xenial first, the backported to Wily12:14
yofelbackports are done already12:17
yofelsoee: I'll try to look at kate today, then I'll release it12:17
mparillobackports or backports-landing?12:17
yofel-landing12:17
mparilloTY12:17
Maxiride_so when backports-landing will be trasnferred to backports, people like me which added the -landing ppa for testing should then remove it?12:18
yofelit's safer if you do12:20
soeeyofel: what is wrong with Kate?12:20
yofelsoee: the thing where it keeps running12:21
soeei tihnk i do not have such problem, but i'm starting empty session on login12:22
yofelyou're probably fine then12:22
Maxiride_yofel: Where can I check when it's the proper time to remove the -landing ppa?12:24
yofelMaxiride_: usually when we put the release announcement out. Worst case when you notice that you're getting a lot of updates that you're not expecting ;)12:26
mikkleany timeframe as to when landing lands in updates?12:27
BluesKajyofel, on 16.04 Xenial?12:27
Maxiride_yofel: lol, ok thanks!12:27
mikklei means, any timeframe as to when i'll get plasma 5.5.3 and the rest? :)12:27
yofelBluesKaj: xenial will take a couple days12:27
mikkleI'm talking about 15.10 btw12:27
yofelmikkle: today I hope. But it'll be in backports, not updates12:28
BluesKajok, I'll continue with the landings ppa til then12:28
yofelplease do12:28
mikkleIs backports "ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa?12:28
yofelno, that's updates. Backprots is ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports12:29
yofelthe announcement will have the correct ppa as well12:29
mikkleCan you tell me the difference between the two?12:29
yofelmikkle: updates is strictly bugfixes while backports is new versions as well.12:30
mikkleyofel thanks a lot12:31
yofelit's a difference in regression potential12:31
mikkleyeah, updates is more stable12:31
mikklethanks for the clarification....12:31
Maxiride_mikkle: https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/PPAs this wiki guess solves your questions =)12:32
Maxiride_* I guess12:32
Maxiride_except that the beta-backports is instead called backports-landing if I understood correctly12:33
mikkleOh nice...looks like it needs to be updated to include "landing"12:33
mikkleI guess that corresponds to beta-backports12:33
Maxiride_mikkle: yep12:33
Maxiride_should be so12:33
yofelno, beta backports is for actual beta stuff, e.g. plasma 5.5.95 or so. Although these days kde has really short beta release times, so the ppa is mostly unused12:37
Maxiride_oh I must have misunderstood then. The diagram at the begin of that wiki is confusing than. I thought -landing was beta backports because the diagram shows that beta-backports goes into backports like -landing does.12:39
Maxiride_*then12:40
yofelhm, that's a bit wrong, right. But -landing also didn't exist yet when that diagram was made. We need to update that sometime12:40
nicolsyofel: where are the main announcements for releases is it on http://www.kubuntu.org/news/ ? or somewhere else?12:43
yofelyes, that12:43
nicolsyofel: valorie gave me some links about packaging process, i would like to be of some help here... now i am doing some reading stuff  :)12:44
yofelgreat, see the packaging docs link in the topic where the others tried to gather some resources.12:45
yofelI should have time in the evening to answer questions12:45
nicolscool :)12:47
soeeyofel: maybe we could plan some 1-2 hours sessions each week where you could explain packaging stuff to those who want to start ?12:49
soeei must say on 5.5.3 (Wily) all works much smoother here @ work with 2 screens configuration etc.12:51
yofelthat usually fails at coordinating times.. 12:51
yofelI'll agree on the 5.5.3 opinion12:51
QuintasanI'll say screen locker is still broken with two screens here12:56
soeei'v seen some commits in master to it, maybe it will be fixed osmehow in 5.5.612:57
QuintasanWhen I close the lid it locks the screen and tries to display the screen lock on both screens12:57
QuintasanBut fails miserably on the external display and shows a black background or (even worse) the windows.12:58
QuintasanI guess that's what you get for trying to do modern desktop on top of X12:58
QuintasanShows how ill prepared we are for The Year of Linux on the Desktop.12:58
nicolsshould i Apply for a Developer Account?13:09
bshahI am not sure why freebsd_build_fix patch is applied in kubuntu packkaging??14:29
yofelwe apply all debian patches - unless they break something14:30
bshahit doesn't apply anymore on git14:33
bshahI did refresh it but somehow didn't work out. :O14:33
yofelthe comment it out in series14:33
yofel*then14:34
clivejo"open hardware, such as Raspberry Pi" yeah right!14:36
yofelwho came up with that nonsense?14:37
* mamarley throws a GPU blob at whoever came up with that nonsense.14:39
mamarleySplat!14:39
clivejo--> https://www.linux.com/news/software/applications/878287-mycroft-linuxs-own-ai/14:41
clivejotheres a few quotes in that article made me hiss and spit14:42
soeefreebsd is one step before us http://euroquis.nl/bobulate/?p=1423 :D14:45
yofelFreeBSD beat us...14:46
* yofel goes hiding in a corner14:46
clivejoRyan recalls an interesting conversation with business people who don’t understand open source model. “When we talked to business guys and they ask what’s the point of going open source instead of proprietary, I explained it in this way: I spent no money and my software improved within 20 minutes of release, and then those business guys get it.”14:47
clivejo"his" software14:48
Riddellsaying no money can be dangerous cos at some point you'll probably need to spend some and then they get grumpy14:48
clivejoRiddell: did you ever research snappy?14:49
Riddellnah, I looked at xdg-app thing, it seems to involve installing all of fedora into ~/.local14:50
yofelximion can probably tell you more details of how that works. But I think that's about the idea14:52
yofelbut I don't think it necessarily has to be fedora. That's just what they started out with14:52
LocutusOfBorgHi, I just did a marble upload to fix quazip transition16:21
LocutusOfBorg"change libquazip-qt5-dev build dep to libquazip5-dev"16:21
LocutusOfBorgplease steal my upload when you update marble :)16:21
LocutusOfBorgoh... I guess this is from git, not from xenial, right? yofel 16:57
LocutusOfBorg^^^^16:57
yofelLocutusOfBorg: we plan to merge git master anyway, and our upload sanity check fails if there's an archive change that's missing from our git history. So either way, we'll get both changes ;)16:59
LocutusOfBorgoh, so not my mistake I hope16:59
LocutusOfBorgI'm still waiting for it to migrate16:59
LocutusOfBorgautopkgtest didn't even start yet16:59
yofelno, what you did is fine. People don't usually ask before uploading to the archive anyway, so we're used to fixing stuff up later on. (And know how to)17:01
yofelSo if anything, thanks for telling that you uploaded something17:01
tsimonq2a/or20:30
tsimonq2whoops sorry20:30
soeeyofel: did you maybe backported plasma-desktop and plasma-framework commits ?20:46
yofelsoee: not any this week so far20:48
yofelI do remember that you pointed to something in p-d at least..20:48
soeehmm yes, i see that task manager items spacing is fixed i think20:49
soeethats why i asked, but maybe it was something different that caused this20:50
soeeyofel: are we ready to relase 5.5.3 for Wily ?20:59
yofelI'll copy it in a bit. Announcement will follow when I get to it21:00
yofelnot today though21:00
soeeoki21:01
yofelone last upgrade test..22:04

valoriemy goodness that ppa page hadn't been updated in ages22:10
valoriestill talked about KOffice22:10
valoriewe don't still have n experimental PPA, correct?22:13
valorieinstead we use staging?22:14
yofelexperimental is still a thing22:14
yofelit's for.. "experimental" stuff ^^22:14
valoriehmmm, still listed in launchpad22:14
valorieok22:14
valoriedo we still split up staging?22:15

yofelremoved wily status for FW and P, as those are DONE22:16
valorieok, someone should read over that page to be sure that my versioning examples are sane, but otherwise, it's just KDE SC > Plasma or Plasma and Frameworks, KOffice  > Calligra, etc.22:18
valoriehttps://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/PPAs 22:18
yofelit's ~fine22:20
yofelthe probably most wrong thing on the page is that graph22:20
yofelbut it looks cool, so lets keep it22:20
valorielol22:21
valoriewe could get someone like ovidiu-florin to make a new one, just as cool22:21
valoriebut more correct22:21
valorieadded a note in the packaging docs about that22:23
yofelgood idea22:24
yofellol, that already says that the page needs a new graph :D22:25
valorieyeah, just added it22:30
valoriewow, ubuntu really did well in GCi22:30
valorieKDE not as well22:30
valorieat least in number of tasks completed22:31
