seb128Sweet5hark, if you don't touch anything, just go to prime,strip there and then "snapcraft prime" you should get a new snap without having to rebuild09:28

seb128Sweet5hark, k, let me know how that goes/if it works09:43

willcookeSweet5hark, nicely done sir!10:29

* Sweet5hark currently writes blogpost.10:30
dpm_Sweet5hark, good work!10:30
dpm_Sweet5hark, quick question: do translations work, though?10:30
dpm_I know they don't work in other snaps, but the LO one might be different10:30
dpm_so if they do not work, it might be worth leaving them out until we get snaps to support them10:31
Sweet5harkwillcooke: https://skyfromme.wordpress.com/2016/06/16/a-third-of-a-libreoffice-snap/ <- blogpost with details, will show up on libreoffice.org/planet.documentfoundation.org soon.10:43

willcookethank you Sweet5hark10:45
=== hikiko|ln is now known as hikiko
Sweet5harkdpm_: in general translations should work. Currently the build with l10n loops in snapcraft -- weird, dunno why. So no l10n included for now.11:11
Sweet5harkdpm_: expect 100 l10ns to add around 200MBs still.11:11
Sweet5harkdpm_: or half to double that.11:12

mhall119well that's much smaller, isn'tit12:26
willcooke:)12:26
mhall119debug symbols, is that why it had 600MB+ .so files?12:27
willcookemhall119, ya12:28
mhall119willcooke: it looks like the snap include LibreOffice SDK, is that working?12:42
mhall119willcooke: the snap still contains ./home/bjoern/ which looks to have some recursion going on, not sure if there's more fat to trim off there or just cleanup12:51
willcookemhall119 -> Sweet5hark12:51
mhall119it looks to contain a copy of usr/ in there12:55

ubot5Launchpad bug 1592873 in snapcraft (Ubuntu) "snapcraft packs full paths to the build location" [Undecided,New]12:58
Sweet5harkI manually deleted the added paths each time so far, but not after rerunning snapcraft after stripping.12:59
Sweet5harkurgh.12:59
Sweet5harkmhall119: note though, while it is ugly, its likely not using extra space as the files there are duplicates of the ones in ./usr/local and squashfs should thus compress them down to ~nothing.13:01

=== jhernandez is now known as jhernandez_
mhall119Sweet5hark: were you able to fix the problem with the window menu not appearing on other distros?13:02
Sweet5harkmhall119: not aware of that.13:04
Sweet5harkmhall119: And if I fixed it, I would still wait 6 hours for the rebuild.13:05
Sweet5harkmhall119: speaking of menus though, it sounds like it might be a gmenumodel/dbus/unity thing? IOW we build with support for exporting menus via dbus in snapcraft, but other distros are ... different.13:06
mhall119Sweet5hark: but it should only do that on Unity, not other DEs, even on Ubuntu13:08
mhall119it appears to be trying to do it regardless of DE (at least from the comments I've seen about it)13:08
Sweet5harkmhall119: well, reminder we are running a _beta_ using an _experimental_ gtk3 backend right now. speaking of which, Im surprised that the dbus-menus work in gtk3 at all.13:10

Laneyattente: "This example is not really production quality" ????13:57

attenteLaney: that's the description that comes back from snapd, ev already knows about it14:37
LaneyI know14:37
Laneyare you sure you want to upload with this as a featured app?14:37
Laneyis it going to be fixed soon?14:37

Laneycan if you want14:41
Laneybut it doesn't look very great14:41
Laneyindeed14:41
seb128yeah14:41
seb128it's down to on much we are asked to get that change in14:41
seb128willcooke, ^ do you know?14:41
willcookeI don't, that requirement passed me by.  I'll find out though14:42
seb128thanks14:42
Laneyattente: this gs_plugin_add_popular looks shady15:39
Laneyin snappy15:39
Laneywhat is it doing?15:39
attentemanually adding those curated snaps, but since there are fewer than 7, populating the last three or so with other apps from the other backends15:40
attenteotherwise the randomization will most likely not show those few curated snaps15:40
attenteat some point for the next sru we have to read the list from an xml file online15:41
Laneyyou're supposed to just add to the list and let g-s choose which ones to show15:42
Laneyis it some kind of requirement to promote the snaps?15:42
Laneymost of them come from actual popular apps according to ubuntu reviews15:43
seb128Laney, yes, I think there was requirement to promote snaps15:45
Laneythis is weird though15:45
seb128weird like?15:46
Laneyin order to promote 4 snaps we remove every single popular app from the archive15:46
Laneyother than 3 random ones15:46
seb128we for sure don't remove anything from the archive15:46
Laneyno15:46
Laneyparse it differently15:46
seb128rigtht, just making it clear for people lurking here15:46
seb128I didn't look at the actual patch15:46
seb128I would expect the 3 other picks to still be in the most popular ones15:47
Laneycurrently the picks are things that ubuntu reviews has at ≥ 4 stars15:47
seb128but I guess that's not what the code does?15:47
Laneythe remaining 3 will still be popular by that definition15:47
seb128k15:47
Laneybut it will always only be 3 things15:47
seb128well, that's what we have been asked to do15:47
Laneyand the other 4 will *always* be the same 4 snaps15:47
seb128also it's temporary until there are most snaps a xml we can consume15:47
seb128then things are going to not always be the same15:48
seb128but yeah, it's basically what I was pinging willcooke about15:48
seb128knowing how much that change is a strong requirement15:48
LaneyI think it's a buggy requirement15:48
seb128e.g if we can delay it to next round15:48
seb128right, I agree with that15:49
Laneyeven if the XML exists15:49
Laneypromoting something just because it is delivered in a particular way is weird15:49
Laneysame with the big banner featured app too15:50
Laneythe code deletes all the other ones so it's always going to be this shout thing15:50
seb128how is the big banner decided?15:50
seb128I'm a bit less sure than you on the "it's wrong to promote new things"15:52
Laneyyou can put them in the list15:52
Laneyso they get the same chance as everything else15:52
seb128depends on how much you want to promote them :p15:52
LaneyIt's not that interesting to users how it gets delivered15:54
Laneythe exception being if you have the same thing delivered in two different ways15:55
Laneythen you might want to show the one you think is best15:55
LaneyI have to go to a vote remain debate(!!!!)15:58
* Laney stayed late yesterday to go early15:58
Laneybut I pushed gnome-software to bzr, so if you think it's good15:58
Laneythen upload15:58
Laneythe description and icons can be fixed on the server as far as I know so if those are the only problems then they don't require any more code changes15:58
LaneyI would upload to y and then add a backport entry for the SRU with ~ubuntu16.04.1 or something15:59
Laneythe package will be the same15:59
seb128Laney, enjoy the debate16:00
seb128I read in the news that some remain campain woman got shoot16:00
seb128and that they suspended the campain?16:00

Laneyyeah i heard something about that16:01
Laneygrim16:01
Laneybyeee16:01
seb128Laney, let's see what willcooke says about the snaps recommends, but I agree on principle that it's wrong to promote them if they don't bring value, but you could argue than if confined the snap env brings value (more secure)16:01
seb128Laney, bye16:01
jbichasnaps are kinda experimental right now to be promoting them heavily to LTS users16:02
seb128jbicha, what makes you think they are experimental?16:03
seb128snapd was released as part of the LTS on the iso16:03
seb128with a proper stable version16:03
jbichathey are under heavry development, look at the changelog for snapd alone since 16.04 was final16:07
seb128right16:07
seb128doesn't mean they are experimental or unstable16:08
seb128they just lack features16:08
jbicha...compared to the .debs also available in the Software app16:08
seb128right, nobody is removing the debs16:09
seb128but yeah I agree it's a bit early to promote them to LTS users16:10
seb128well at least for desktop apps16:10
seb128but they picked only things that work well16:11
seb128so why not16:11
jbichaok, I haven't looked at snaps much to have any more specific issues to report, I was just piggybacking off Laney's skepticism16:13
jbichaand obviously snaps will continue improving16:14

=== dpm is now known as dpm-afk
jbichaI guess it does say "Editor's Picks"16:31
jbichahere's a specific issue: the Cassandra database is featured but I don't believe it has a .desktop file16:32
jbichaand thus isn't something the Software app is designed to show16:32
