lotuspsychjeHightmrowbeatz: see also the XDA forums for existing projects perhaps05:06
HightmrowbeatzThank you05:06
HighrowbeatzWell since my device is not on ayny list on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices does that mean no I can't get ubuntu on my device?05:49
lotuspsychjeHighrowbeatz: unless someone ports it, not yet05:51
lotuspsychjeHighrowbeatz: you can buy a device with ubuntu touch on it, or buy a second hand nexus device05:52

mterrycyphermox, do you have time to look at https://code.launchpad.net/~mterry/timezonemap/alternate-names/+merge/280194 ?14:06
mterrycyphermox, it's been sitting there for a while, I need to start chasing reviewers to make it happen I guess :)14:07
cyphermoxmterry: sure!14:15
mterrycyphermox, I might need a FFe at this point in xenial I guess...14:18
mterryBut maybe not.  Not really a feature feature14:18
mterryJust a new key to lookup14:18
cyphermoxthat's sounds feature to me14:19
mterrydang it cyphermox  :)14:19
seb128mterry, where do you plan to use that? (just wondering how that fits with the new geonames lib from larsu)14:19
cyphermoxseb128: it wouldn't be the only user anyway, ubiquity uses libtimezonemap, and IIRC other things do too14:20
seb128cyphermox, yeah, we sort of wanted to migrate from it to geonames though, for ubiquity as well14:21
cyphermoxwhy?14:21
cyphermoxit works just fine and needs next to nothing14:21
seb128I don't remember the details now :-/14:21
cyphermoxtbh I would rather keep the ubiquity requirements minimal14:21
seb128but I think whatever we were using didn't work offline14:22
mterryseb128, right -- I've discussed geonames lib with larsu in past -- geonames doesn't expose this functionality either and I asked him to add it.  So I'm just looking to get this in while we (the u8 wizard) is still using libtimezonemap14:22
mterryseb128, libtimezonemap did work offline to my knowledge14:22
seb128mterry, k14:22
mterryseb128, I was very confused to see you guys making a new library, when we had one that does the same thing that you already maintained anyway14:22
seb128mterry, the unity-control-center panel didn't work offline for some reason14:22
seb128yeah14:22
seb128well, the one we have also depends on gtk14:22
mterryseb128, I think part of it worked offline and part of it worked online14:23
seb128which is something we want to get ride for the touch image14:23
mterryseb128, sure, that's very fixable  :)14:23
mterryseb128, but anyway.  I'm on board with a new library14:23
seb128anyway, I'm not going to defend the choice much since I didn't really got involved in it14:23
mterryseb128, I just wanted this one feature, and had already written it by the time I had heard you guys made a new library14:23
seb128and larsu left now14:23
seb128unsure what's the best and how we fix it14:23
seb128right14:23
mterryseb128, I'm +1 on geonames.  It's a better API14:23
mterryseb128, it just surprised me14:23
mterryseb128, but I already have this patch lying around, and we're currently still using libtimezonemap...14:24
mterryseb128, is geonames ready to use?14:24
seb128mterry, yeah, makes sense14:24
seb128mterry, we use it in unity-control-center in xenialm14:24
seb128which is sort of why I mentioned that we had as plan to port ubiquity14:24
seb128that didn't happen though14:24
seb128and larsu is not around anymore, so dunno if somebody is going to pick that up14:25
mterryseb128, does geonames have the map data?14:25
mterryseb128, ah  :(14:25
seb128yes14:25
mterrybummer14:25
cyphermoxseb128: in that case, might want to drop the depends on libtimezonemap1?14:25
cyphermox(from unity-control-center)14:25
mterryseb128, so maybe I should look at porting my patch to geonames too...  But we don't have a maintainer for it now?14:25
cyphermoxbut it seems to me like NIH syndrome is getting pretty bad when we have a library that works just fine already.14:26
seb128mterry, no we don't :-/14:26
seb128cyphermox, well, as said the one we have use gtk and we want gtk off the phone image14:26
cyphermoxah, that changes things14:26
seb128but maybe we still need the map/widget side of libtimezonemap14:26
mterryYeah, but it was only used for one part of the API14:26
seb128at least for ubiquity/u-c-c14:26
cyphermoxbut it's not ubiquity on the phone image anyway14:26
seb128right14:27
mterryWe use libtimezonemap in the phone already, just not the gtk bits (obviously)14:27
seb128they are part of the same binary though iirc?14:27
seb128mterry, cyphermox, bug #1455223 was the main motivation for the work iirc14:28
ubot5bug 1455223 in unity-control-center (Ubuntu) "[time and date] Searching for locations is slow and doesn't work offline" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/145522314:28
cyphermox*shrugs* tbh, whatever, if you want to change libraries, who am I to say no? ;)14:28
seb128lol14:28
cyphermoxas long as things work, I'll be happy14:29
mterryseb128, hmm...  maybe they are...?  in which case we need to split it or use geonames in our branch that addes timezone support  :)14:29
Elleosil2100: all keyboards display fine without fonts-droid (and without adding fonts-noto), so all the other font packages we have installed already cover the fonts used by the keyboard, not sure if I should explicitly depend on one or more of them though14:29
mterryseb128, yeah I'm happy to have a new library.  And the new one seems as well maintained as the old one at this point  :)14:29
seb128mterry, cyphermox, let's not bother about it now, I don't think that's important enough to be on top of the priority list14:29
cyphermoxmterry: geonames or ubuntu-geonames?14:29
seb128I was just mentioning it14:30
cyphermoxI also get to care about ubuntu-geonames ;)14:30
seb128if that was the only thing keeping gtk+ on the touch image I would push to do something14:30
seb128but at this point it's not14:30
cyphermox(incidently, this may be part of the culprit for lookups online)14:30
mterryseb128, the branch using libtimezonemap is not on the image yet14:30
Elleosil2100: we only explicitly use the ubuntu font, so I might just add a dep for that14:30
seb128mterry, yeah, but settings use it for the tz selection iirc14:31
seb128mterry, so it's already there14:31
mterryseb128, ah true.  That library should just be split then14:31
seb128yeah14:31
mterryseb128, or geonames  :)14:31
seb128right, rather than I think14:31
seb128but that's a backlog item rather than a now one14:31
mterrycyphermox, alright...  let me try to redo my patch for geonames before you review it14:32
cyphermoxmterry: like I said, ubuntu-geonames or lp:geonames?14:32
cyphermoxI know nothing of lp:geonames :)14:32
mterrycyphermox, I assume ubuntu-geonames?  let me check14:33
mterrycyphermox, nope, not that14:33
Elleosil2100: is there already a bug for getting rid of fonts-droid somewhere?14:33
cyphermoxotherwise I can try to review but it won't be as helpful14:33
mterrycyphermox, yeah lp:geonames14:33
mterrycyphermox, I bet you're an indirect member of ~geonames-dev (you and 97 others), so you're just as qualified as anyone but Lars  :)14:34
cyphermoxam I still on the desktop team?14:34
mterrycyphermox, *I* am14:35
cyphermoxah, actually you're right, I'm indirectly a member14:35
cyphermoxI just don't do as much gtk/glib as before14:36
mterryseb128, so you system settings folk want to switch to geonames, but just haven't yet?14:38
sil2100Elleo: hey! Not sure if there is one14:38
seb128mterry, I didn't talk to the other guys about it, but yeah ideally since we don't want to depends on gtk and the lib we current use does14:39
mterryseb128, OK, maybe by making this patch, I'll become a Lars understudy and would know how to port something14:39
seb128;-)14:39
Elleosil2100: okay, will make one quickly then14:40
Elleosil2100: now that ubuntu-keyboard-japanese has landed can we add it to the seed?14:40
sil2100Elleo: the seed change has been released to the overlay already :)14:51
sil2100Elleo: the xenial one is waiting for ubuntu-keyboard to migrate from -proposed14:52

dobeyElleo: hi! do you know how i can construct a DownloadsList object in my tests?15:06
mterryseb128, doesn't look like geonames has map data after all.  So libtimezonemap still has a purpose15:07
mterryseb128, (we can move it over of course, but I don't know how gtk-specific that code is..  ltinkl might know)15:07
mterryltinkl, we were just talking about geonames and libtimezonemap.  How gtk-specific is the map info in libtimezonemap?15:07
ltinklmterry, I think there's a GtkWidget15:07
JamesTaitOoh, this could be interesting: http://igg.me/at/nexdock/x/823300515:07
mterryltinkl, but you managed to use map data without using gtk (i.e. in the wizard), right?15:07
mterryltinkl, I'm just wondering how hard it would be to move that code over to geonames15:07
ltinklmterry, yeah... and now that we have our own assets, I'll check again what's left of that dependency15:07

mterryltinkl, we use our own assets, so we're not using libtimezonemap for the data?15:09
ltinklmterry, ah right yes, for getting the details (name, coords, etc)15:09
mterryltinkl, but not for the map?  So we have our own internal copy of that data?  Yikes, yeah we should move that to a central location, like geonames15:10
ltinklmterry, for the map too, it reuses the same database as well15:10
ltinklmterry, Depends: libtimezonemap-data15:11
Elleodobey: /2215:11
Elleooops15:11
Elleodobey: in what context?15:11
mterryltinkl, right, but we have our own copy of the map images you're saying?15:12
Elleodobey: are these C++ tests?15:12
ltinklmterry, yes, own images, same shared DB15:12
mterryltinkl, right, so we should get those images into a shared location (i.e. geonames I guess)15:12
dobeyElleo: yes, gmock unit tests. i'm trying to call the MetadataDownloadsListCb of a call to getAllDownloadsWithMetadata (which is itself mocked)15:12
Elleodobey: have you taken a look at what the udm unittests do?15:13
dobeyno15:13
Elleodobey: tests/downloads/client/test_client_manager.cpp <-- might be the best place to look15:14
Elleodobey: iirc you get a choice of either getting a downloadslist returned to you from a callback or from a signal15:14
dobeyElleo: hmm, i don't see it actually creating any DownloadsList in there15:16
dobeyElleo: or i guess i need to provide a mock implementation for that too, since the daemon implementation is private?15:21
Elleodobey: ah yeah, sorry, it doesn't create a downloadslist it just receives one15:22
