| kkinetix | Hey all | 04:44 |
|---|---|---|
| kkinetix | I was reading https://notes.kde.org/p/kubuntu-packaging and the very first 'need' is git commit access to debian git | 04:45 |
| kkinetix | I haven't yet found the information on how one gets to that point, and if it means one has to be a debian developer already or not | 04:46 |
| valorie | kkinetix: until you earn that right, you have other people do the commits | 05:47 |
| valorie | folks: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2994 | 05:47 |
| kkinetix | valorie: I see... is that earnable through kubuntu tasks/packaging, or does one have to get involved with Debian directly? | 05:53 |
| valorie | start with Kubuntu - we cooperate directly with Debian | 06:00 |
| valorie | for instance, we've got a bug-fixing sprint coming up in Munich soon, with us and Debian both | 06:01 |
| valorie | we'd like to work even more closely with them | 06:04 |
| kkinetix | Very cool | 06:04 |
| valorie | I think so | 06:07 |
| valorie | a work in progress though | 06:07 |
| kkinetix | I'll see about ploughing through the documentation | 06:08 |
| valorie | have you joined Kub-devel list? | 06:08 |
| kkinetix | I have! | 06:08 |
| valorie | great, be sure to introduce yourself | 06:09 |
| valorie | most of the devels are in europe | 06:09 |
| * valorie lives near Seattle Washington USA | 06:09 | |
| kkinetix | ok, I'll look to do so in the near future... will go through some archives as well | 06:12 |
| valorie | excellent | 06:12 |
| valorie | this chan is where the action is | 06:13 |
| kkinetix | I'm near the west coast myself, I'm in Kamloops, BC | 06:13 |
| valorie | nice! | 06:13 |
| valorie | you're just a few hours from me then | 06:13 |
| kkinetix | Yes, I've enjoyed the few visits to Seattle that I've had - though I haven't been as a tourist yet, sadly. | 06:14 |
| valorie | I've not actually been up to Kamloops, but I have cousins and so forth all over Canada, including BC | 06:14 |
| valorie | my mother actually grew up in Alberta, although she was born in Iowa | 06:15 |
| valorie | my father's dad was born in Ontario, and came to Seattle after WWI | 06:15 |
| kkinetix | You certainly have some Canadian ties, eh? | 06:20 |
| valorie | very much so | 06:21 |
| valorie | half of my mother's sibs stayed in Canada | 06:21 |
| valorie | and all the rest of my Cowans | 06:21 |
| valorie | mostly still in Ontario | 06:22 |
| kkinetix | Heh, right on | 06:22 |
| valorie | what do you do up there in Kamloops? | 06:25 |
| kkinetix | So do you do development as well? | 06:25 |
| valorie | I do community, and docs | 06:26 |
| valorie | and I'm on the Council | 06:26 |
| kkinetix | I'm mostly a network guy... professionally I've been doing network bits for 15 years or so. But I've been a Linux guy and sysadmin for longer. | 06:26 |
| valorie | and I do student programs and some other stuff upstream in KDE | 06:26 |
| kkinetix | Sounds like all of that could keep you buys | 06:28 |
| kkinetix | busy, too | 06:28 |
| valorie | yup | 06:28 |
| valorie | fun group | 06:29 |
| valorie | we do our annual meeting at KDE's annual meeting, Akademy | 06:29 |
| valorie | we like meeting face to face, so since Ubuntu stopped doing "real" meetings, we moved to Akademy | 06:32 |
| kkinetix | That sounds fun | 06:35 |
| valorie | it is! | 06:35 |
| valorie | this year we'll meet in Berlin in September | 06:35 |
| kkinetix | Ubuntu doesn't do a get-together any more though eh? | 06:38 |
| valorie | Canonical gets their staff together, but no longer organize face-to-face for Ubuntu | 06:39 |
| valorie | now it's all on hangouts | 06:39 |
| valorie | we participate in those if we have anything to discuss | 06:39 |
| valorie | but really, nothing beats face to face | 06:39 |
| kkinetix | Yeah, no doubt | 06:40 |
| valorie | fortunately, the ubuntu community has a fund that helps many of us to attend | 06:41 |
| kkinetix | I can see that being massively helpful for sure | 06:43 |
| clivejo | does anyone know if there is something I need to do to get my kubuntu email to work? | 11:09 |
| BluesKaj | Hey folks | 12:01 |
| clivejo | hi BluesKaj | 12:01 |
| BluesKaj | Hi clivejo | 12:02 |
| sgclark | clivejo: it is a mail forwarder, it will forward to your main email. | 16:26 |
| clivejo | sgclark: it wont work | 16:26 |
| sgclark | a few more details might be helpful lol | 16:27 |
| * sgclark get first cup of coffee | 16:27 | |
| clivejo | Mail is getting bounced "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table" | 16:28 |
| sgclark | uh that is a server problem. | 16:30 |
| clivejo | supposed to update every 48hours | 16:31 |
| sgclark | ok, but out of scope of something I can fix :) need to try #canonical-sysadmin | 16:33 |
| yofel | [19:40:12] <clivejo> Phil, is there any way to merge a local folder into a git archive | 18:41 |
| yofel | [19:40:47] <clivejo> I have some packaging for libkolab and want to merge it into the kubuntu_unstable branch on Debian | 18:41 |
| clivejo | that was a secret! | 18:42 |
| yofel | oops | 18:43 |
| yofel | well, there is no way to "merge" something | 18:43 |
| yofel | what you can do is copy your files into the git archive, git add everything, then look at the diff if the changes look right | 18:43 |
| clivejo | could I not git init the local folder and add as a remot? | 18:43 |
| clivejo | how would I merge the changelog, thats the main issu | 18:44 |
| clivejo | issue | 18:44 |
| yofel | well, yes. But if you don't share any history, then all you'll get is merge conflicts in everything | 18:44 |
| clivejo | some of the changelog is shared | 18:44 |
| yofel | ubuntu-dev-tools has merge-changelog or so for semi-automatic changelog merging | 18:45 |
| * soee now knows a secret ... what to do, what to do ... | 20:05 | |
