seb128Sweet5hark, hey, in case you didn't notice doko just did a libreoffice upload to xenial for multiarch bits, you might need to rebase your update/include those changes08:53
willcookemorning all08:59
seb128hey willcooke09:01
willcookehey seb128, happy Friday :)09:01
seb128happy friday indeed!09:02
Sweet5harkseb128: urgh ...09:03
willcookemorning Sweet5hark09:03
seb128Sweet5hark, yeah, doko can be annoying like that...09:03
Sweet5harkwillcooke, all: moin!09:03
seb128Sweet5hark, we can also upload your update, reverting his changes and teaching him to work with others ;-)09:03
Laneyyo09:05
seb128hey Laney, happy friday!09:05
Laneyhi seb12809:05
Laneyhappy friday to you too!09:05
Sweet5harkseb128: nah, doko did ask me cryptically to meet to talk about $something at FOSDEM and meeting at breakfast, I wrote him a mail suggesting to meet at 8:30-9:00 on monday to have a concrete, but that didnt work out apparently ...09:06
Sweet5hark(was having breakfast with Laney and larsu instead though then ...)09:06
seb128(seems like a better choice ;-)09:06
Sweet5harkhrhr09:07
Laneyahaha it fails to build09:07
seb128go doko!09:07
* Sweet5hark grabs popcorn ...09:07
Sweet5harkLaney: link error in libsc?09:07
Laneyconfigure: error: Package requirements (libcmis-0.5 >= 0.5.0) were not met:09:08
Sweet5harkah, lol.09:09
Sweet5harklibcmis was bumped to the version that comes with LibreOffice 5.1 and LibreOffice 5.0 thus is unhappy ...09:09
seb128no09:10
seb128we have 0.5.0 since wily09:10
seb128but doko multiarched that lib yesterday :p09:10
seb128maybe something went wrong there09:10
seb128oh well, he does things without talking to others, he gets to debug things by himself then...09:11
Sweet5harkhmm. gotta see if my 5.1 package still builds against that then ...09:12
seb128haha09:12
seb128Laney, hide!09:12
seb128doko is pinging around now ;-)09:12
* Laney trolls09:13
seb128:-)09:13
Sweet5harkricotz: thanks for the hint on l10n isos btw, fixed that.09:13
robert_ancellseb128, you don't happen to know if there's any C libraries for accessing dpkg / apt do you? They all seem to be Perl or C++09:24
robert_ancellOr marked as internal / will break at any time09:24
seb128robert_ancell, sorry I don't, that would be a mvo question but he doesn't seem around09:24
hikikoTrevinho, andyrock https://code.launchpad.net/~hikiko/nux/nux.missing-header-file/+merge/285160 could you top-approve this? (it's just a missing header file unity complains about)09:26
hikiko1 line MP :)09:26
* Sweet5hark build a 1.4GB snap yesterday.09:34
Sweet5hark(lets see if I win another "LibreOffice: based on technology breaking your toolchain since 1985!" t-shirt with that)09:37
willcookeWe have a winner for "The most ridiculous comment on the internet this week"09:49
willcookehttp://news.softpedia.com/news/ubuntu-16-04-lts-to-ship-with-older-nautilus-due-to-bugs-and-menubar-499962.shtml09:49
Sweet5harkwillcooke: heh, the headline already sounded suspiciously like that when it flew by on g+09:53
willcookePeople must read this stuff though09:53
willcookeOh, how about this09:54
willcookeWe set up a website where every time one of us or sil2100 eat a sandwich we write down what was in it09:55
willcookeand then sell advertising on the site09:55
sil2100Oh ooh!09:55
Sweet5harkwillcooke: that said, them spambots start to tweet and share that old ridiculous "Ubuntu causes girl to drop of of college" FUD video again.09:55
willcookeha, I love that video09:56
sil2100There was a video like that? uh09:56
willcookesil2100, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qj8p-PEwbI09:56
Sweet5harkwillcooke: seems someone is nervous about our recent PR. So our marketing is doing something right.09:56
Sweet5harkwillcooke: I like the first comment: "I installed Linux on my machine and my life also went to shit.  My  computer now boots way too fast,  I can't manage to get any adware or  viruses installed, I have too much available ram, the package manager  makes it way to easy to install software, I never have to deal with my  computer taking an hour to do automatic updates and I didn't even get to  pay for anything."09:57
willcookeXD09:58
seb128willcooke, that's going to teach me to open a bug with the rational of the revert... ;-)10:28
seb128I also got upstream pinging me this morning saying they could provide a patch to fix the zoom level issues for us and that the new version auto-open the copy dialog which fixes some of the usability issues10:29
seb128trying to loby a bit for us to do the update...10:30
willcookeoh, that's good news, thanks seb12810:34
willcookeand thanks u/s10:34
seb128willcooke, you think we should go back at updating then? ;-)10:35
seb128(probably not because headerbar/lack of menus/some bugs in the new code that would require more work)10:35
seb128but it's good for next cycle10:35
willcookeyeah, probably not10:35
willcookebut10:35
willcookeIts good that u/s still care enough10:36
willcooketo want to help us get up to date10:36
seb128willcooke, I might upload the new nautilus has a nautilus3.18 source so users who want it/ubuntu GNOME can get it easily10:42
Sweet5harkgreat libreoffice 5.1 breaks against libcmis ...10:47
Sweet5hark(against the multiarched in proposed that is)10:48
Laneydoko's going to have to fix that10:49
willcookeseb128, thanks10:50
Sweet5harkseb128: so suggested timeline: 1/ wait for libcmis to be unfoobared b/ bump to libreoffice 5.1.0~rc3 in xenial as-is without multiarch c/ look into whatever multiarch options we have afterwards?10:58

seb128Laney, :-/12:33
seb128Sweet5hark, those are options? I would go for the "do without multiarch"12:33
Sweet5harkseb128: k12:36
Laneyseb128: future opportunities for improvement ;-)12:45
seb128yeah!12:45
seb128k, I think I managed to make nautilus upstream happy enough with what we are doing ;-)12:46
willcookethx seb12812:46
seb128seems like they share some of the concerns about 3.18 and they are likely to need/have patches similar to some we want (like for more zoom options)12:47
seb128but 7.3 is at the end of the year12:47
seb128they understand that our timing for the LTS is more tight and the decision we take then12:48
