[04:44] <kkinetix> Hey all
[04:45] <kkinetix> I was reading https://notes.kde.org/p/kubuntu-packaging and the very first 'need' is git commit access to debian git
[04:46] <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
[05:47] <valorie> kkinetix: until you earn that right, you have other people do the commits
[05:47] <valorie> folks: http://blog.linuxmint.com/?p=2994
[05:53] <kkinetix> valorie: I see... is that earnable through kubuntu tasks/packaging, or does one have to get involved with Debian directly?
[06:00] <valorie> start with Kubuntu - we cooperate directly with Debian
[06:01] <valorie> for instance, we've got a bug-fixing sprint coming up in Munich soon, with us and Debian both
[06:04] <valorie> we'd like to work even more closely with them
[06:04] <kkinetix> Very cool
[06:07] <valorie> I think so
[06:07] <valorie> a work in progress though
[06:08] <kkinetix> I'll see about ploughing through the documentation
[06:08] <valorie> have you joined Kub-devel list?
[06:08] <kkinetix> I have!
[06:09] <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
[06:12] <kkinetix> ok, I'll look to do so in the near future... will go through some archives as well
[06:12] <valorie> excellent
[06:13] <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
[06:14] <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
[06:15] <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
[06:20] <kkinetix> You certainly have some Canadian ties, eh? 
[06:21] <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
[06:22] <valorie> mostly still in Ontario
[06:22] <kkinetix> Heh, right on
[06:25] <valorie> what do you do up there in Kamloops?
[06:25] <kkinetix> So do you do development as well?
[06:26] <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
[06:28] <kkinetix> Sounds like all of that could keep you buys
[06:28] <kkinetix> busy, too
[06:28] <valorie> yup
[06:29] <valorie> fun group
[06:29] <valorie> we do our annual meeting at KDE's annual meeting, Akademy
[06:32] <valorie> we like meeting face to face, so since Ubuntu stopped doing "real" meetings, we moved to Akademy
[06:35] <kkinetix> That sounds fun
[06:35] <valorie> it is!
[06:35] <valorie> this year we'll meet in Berlin in September
[06:38] <kkinetix> Ubuntu doesn't do a get-together any more though eh?
[06:39] <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
[06:40] <kkinetix> Yeah, no doubt
[06:41] <valorie> fortunately, the ubuntu community has a fund that helps many of us to attend
[06:43] <kkinetix> I can see that being massively helpful for sure
[11:09] <clivejo> does anyone know if there is something I need to do to get my kubuntu email to work?
[12:01] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[12:01] <clivejo> hi BluesKaj
[12:02] <BluesKaj> Hi clivejo
[16:26] <sgclark> clivejo: it is a mail forwarder, it will forward to your main email.
[16:26] <clivejo> sgclark: it wont work
[16:27] <sgclark> a few more details might be helpful lol
[16:27]  * sgclark get first cup of coffee
[16:28] <clivejo> Mail is getting bounced "Recipient address rejected: User unknown in virtual alias table"
[16:30] <sgclark> uh that is a server problem. 
[16:31] <clivejo> supposed to update every 48hours
[16:33] <sgclark> ok, but out of scope of something I can fix :) need to try #canonical-sysadmin
[18:41] <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
[18:42] <clivejo> that was a secret!
[18:43] <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?
[18:44] <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
[18:45] <yofel> ubuntu-dev-tools has merge-changelog or so for semi-automatic changelog merging
[20:05]  * soee now knows a secret ... what to do, what to do ...
[20:57] <blaze> soee: ?
[21:06] <clivejo> very quiet in here today!
[21:12] <clivejo> ovidiu-florin: ping
