robert_ancell_attente, still here?01:57
ximionrobert_ancell_: thank you for implementing MediaBaseUrl!02:05
ximionthis patch looks exactly how I expected it to be - I also think it has a high chance of being accepted upstream02:06
robert_ancell_ximion, yeah, it seems uncontrovercial02:06
ximionI think I want to cherry pick those two patches you apply at Ubuntu for Debian as well :)02:06
robert_ancell_I was hoping you would :)02:07
=== robert_ancell_ is now known as robert_ancell
ximionhughsie is releasing asglib so quickly, it sometimes doesn't make sense to even add patches because there will be a new release almost every week02:07
ximionbut those two are important :)02:07
ximionI have an IRC log of hughsie requesting a feature like this a long time ago, and me rejecting it, btw :D02:09
ximion(that was in 2013 ^^)02:09
ximion(and it was a different implementation suggested there, but still it's a bit ironic :D)02:10
attenterobert_ancell: hi02:24
robert_ancellattente, were your apt plugin changes sufficient for loading .debs directly? I was updating the changelog and wondering what it should say / if it should close a bug02:25
robert_ancellBut I've uploaded now02:25
attenterobert_ancell: they install the debs, but post installation, the app page doesn't refresh properly02:26
attenterobert_ancell: i wouldn't put it into the changelog yet02:26
robert_ancellok02:27
robert_ancellattente, btw, I think every g_variant_new_parsed commit you've made has broken something :)02:43
attenterobert_ancell: oh seriously?02:44
robert_ancellattente, yeah, you dropped the () off the args to install/remove for APT02:44
robert_ancellyou sent ['a', 'b'] instead of (['a', 'b'])02:44
attenteah, shit sorry...02:44
robert_ancellnp, just re-uploading now. I keep not testing your changes :)02:45

davmor2seb128: that's it, it is a flicker but I noticed just that it is like it redraws over a few pixels and then goes no thats not right and draws it back where it should be it's really quick though so could just be seen as a flicker, are you on an intel gfx stack too?09:50
seb128yes09:51
seb128intel is crap in xenial for me though :-/09:51

xnoxtjaalton, no.11:21
xnox(but running xenial)11:22
tjaaltonso you didn't get new x, just a bunch of pointless rebuilds11:22
xnoxok. but i got new kernel.11:22
tjaaltonyes11:22
xnoxwhich to my surprise loaded and used nouveu11:22
xnoxwhich is b0rked11:22
tjaaltonyou had nvidia installed but not built for this?11:22
xnoxnope. it's dual graphics laptop and i prefer just the intel ones11:23
* xnox don't care about graphics11:23
* xnox cares battery life11:23
tjaaltonok, so nouveau didn't run before?11:23
tjaaltoni mean didn't load even11:23
xnoxcorrect. or maybe it was, but it was working =)11:23
xnoxto unbreak myself, i've purged xserver nouveau and blacklist nouveau11:24
xnoxwhich is possibly a too big of a hammer.11:24
tjaaltonok11:24
xnoxtjaalton, what's the right way to opt into intel-only, when one has dual graphics?11:24
xnox(including plymouth/initramfs/dkms & booted system)11:24
tjaaltonblacklisting nouveau probably works11:24
tjaaltonif the bios doesn't have a switch for it11:25
tjaaltonlenovo's do11:25
xnoxi'm on dell xps 15, i'll check11:25
seb128is evince list in gnome-software for others? trying to figure out if that's a local issue11:31
tjaaltonxnox: could you verify the old kernel works, and the versions of working/broken11:31

=== alan_g is now known as alan_g|lunch
ksamakseb128: well it's rather a matter of source format13:12
ksamaksince ubuntu would be upstream, debian would need proper versionning, with patches for fixes (i think you guys do re-versionning, right?)13:13
ksamakso debian has to have its debian/source/format to 3(quilt)13:14
ksamakit means there has to be a compiz_0.9.12.2.orig.tar.gz that stays the same.13:14
ksamakdo you know how/who manages that for ubuntu?13:15
ksamakis it Trevinho?13:15
seb128yes13:16
ksamakok then, i'll wait till he's available13:20
* Sweet5hark is out while -- will be back in the afternoon though.13:49
seb128Sweet5hark, have fun!13:49
mitya57ksamak, right, you need a Debian revision (i.e. add -1 in debian/changelog) and either 3.0 (quilt) or 1.0 format14:06
mitya57ksamak, and if you need an "upstream tarball that stays the same", you can probably grab one from https://launchpad.net/compiz/+download14:08
mitya57ksamak, also s/sid/unstable/ in the changelog and close the ITP bug :)14:09
ksamakmitya57: hey14:53
ksamakthanks for the help14:53
ksamakbut i'd generate the tar.gz, if James Cowgill didn't have that to say14:54
ksamakI have noticed that instead of using patches, Ubuntu has been14:54
ksamakcreating "fake" upstream releases when fixing bugs. This isn't great14:54
ksamaksince the latest bugfixes are now only found in Ubuntu and aren't14:54
ksamakeasily split out for other distributions14:54
ksamak--end quote14:54
ksamakwhat do you think?14:54
ksamakmitya57:  seb12814:54
seb128no real opinion14:56
seb128you use whatever you want as orig tarball14:56
seb128you can use the same as the ubuntu archive ones14:56
seb128or make vcs snapshots14:56
seb128even if I agree that proper upstream tarballs are nicer14:56
seb128but that's not a blocker to get a package going14:57
mitya57ksamak, if you want to use something newer than the later official release, then at least add +something to the version, like Ubuntu does14:58
mitya57ksamak, if you want an example of how other Canonical software is handled in Debian, take a look at:15:01
mitya57https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libdbusmenu-qt15:01
mitya57https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/libaccounts-glib15:01
mitya57And you may also want talk to bregma about a possibility to make a new official upstream release.15:03

bregmaksamak, Trevinho, I'd strongly suggest doing an 0.9.12.3 upstream Compiz release so Xenial can differentiate from Wily and Debian can get the changes packaged nicely15:24

bregmamitya57, any idea if would it be in $PATH in snappy?17:16

kgunnSweet5hark: hey, so i notice in your yaml you've got source: ./libreoffice-build/17:44
kgunn...oh nvmd...i just thought through the why17:44
kgunnif there's no debs to pull you really do have to build17:44
=== alan_g|lunch is now known as alan_g|EOW
Sweet5harkkgunn: there are multiple reasons for that, see the bug references in ./libreoffice-build/Makefile ...17:49
kgunnSweet5hark: ok...i was just thinking you could pull bins from the archive...but if debs aren't going to be supported going fwd...it kinda screws that idea17:50
Sweet5harkkgunn: yeah, I dont think repackaging debs is really the goal here in the end -- it would make us hard depend on those.17:53
Laneyhappy weekend!18:02
seb128have a good w.e!18:40
ximionLaney: currently merging the time patch for the dep11-generator19:34
ximionI still need to look at the translations stuff more closely19:35
mhall119Laney: is there a place on Launchpad to view the bzr branch for Xenial packages?19:42
mhall119for example, https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ace-of-penguins only shows up to wily, but AppStream is flagging errors that only exist in the Xenial source19:42
qenghoOh man. "Booting ext4 root in a ZFS ZOL". I'm glad I have the weekend to think about that.20:59
Laneymhall119: doesn't exist for xenial :(21:00
mhall119Laney: ok, for now I've gotten this much working: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/mhall119/AppStreamTest21:02
mhall119it's sorted by popcon "votes" which seems a better indication of user interest than all-time installs21:03
LaneyI thought popcon was broken/not updating/something for us21:03
mhall119it includes every "main" package from DEP11Hints with icon errors, and then only those from "universe" that have a popcon vote > 1 (otherwise the list is twice as long)21:03
mhall119Laney: it appears to be working for the time being21:03
mhall119Last generated on Fri Mar 4 12:06:42 2016 UTC.21:04
Laneydoes it get new submissions?21:04
Laneyanyway, it's not a big deal21:06
mhall119no idea, but I'm going to assume so21:08
mhall119it's better than nothing anyway21:08
Laneyya21:09
Laneythanks!21:09
Trevinhoksamak: please ping me about that on Monday, I was off today, but I can do it next week21:15
ximionmhall119: nice! XPM icons aren't per se invalid, the XDG icon spec permits them, but they have such a low quality that it was decided to not include them (they are usually not bigger than 32x32px, and we would have to upscale them to 64x64px - and we generally don't upscale images, so the result in SCs looks nice)21:45
mhall119ximion: ack, I can change it to say "Unsupported format" to match the actual error21:50
ximionmhall119: yeah, I just wanted to make sure that there are no complains in form of "the XPM icon is perfectly valid, why doesn't this work?" ;-)21:53
ximionso people know why this issue actually happens21:53
ximionLaney: I'm developing the updated appstream-generator here: https://github.com/ximion/appstream-generator - unfortunately, it will take a larger amount of time to complete it (months?), so dep11-generator will stay around for a while (obviously)21:55
ximionbut the final rewrite will be much faster than the Python code, maybe we could even run it for every package entering the archive then, so I think this is worth the effort21:55
ximionespecially because the new generator will also support other distributions easily (yay for deduplicating work! - although I expect Debian and Ubuntu to be the primary users, still)21:56
ximionmhall119: those shutdown.desktop, logout.desktop, example.desktop, etc. should probably not be in the metadata...21:58
