valorievery nice, tsimonq204:43
tsimonq2:)04:43
valoriejust got back from working at the cabin and going to the meeting about the fire, and then eating dinner after04:43
tsimonq2valorie: irt LFNW or KDE 4 removal?04:43
valorieI feel much better after doing that work04:43
valoriecool on both04:44
tsimonq2:D04:44
valorieI assume you checked the reverse-dependencies?04:44
tsimonq2valorie: For kdesudo or for all of them?04:45
tsimonq2Because with kdesudo, yep.04:45
valorieall of them04:45
valoriekdesudo is should be gone, asap04:46
valorieIMO04:46
tsimonq2Just removed from Debian today04:46
valorieI saw that04:46
tsimonq2I want Clive's and Rik's opinion to see if it should be removed along with the KDE 4 stuff next cycle or ASAP04:46
valorieI mean it should be removed from our packageset04:46
valoriearchive removal, whatever04:47
tsimonq2valorie: Removed from packageset =/ archive removal :)04:47
tsimonq2We shouldn't shun it, we should remove it04:47
tsimonq2It's a liability04:47
tsimonq2But I'm assuming Debian did an rdep check before asking for removal...04:48
tsimonq2I'm just tracking packages Debian is removing to make sure it's on our radar to remove in Ubuntu as well.04:48
tsimonq2Next cycle or the one after we need to do a large KDE 4 removal.04:48
valorieyes04:48
tsimonq2I disagree with Santa when he says that it removes lots of functionality.04:48
tsimonq2There's a *lot* of stuff ported to Frameworks 5/Qt 504:49
valoriewell, partially ported04:49
tsimonq2And removing the packages deprecated upstream in Apps 17.12 will be a HUGE help04:49
tsimonq2valorie: No, a lot is wholly ported04:49
valorie*some* stuff has been fully ported04:49
tsimonq2Fair.04:49
valoriesome has been left behind04:49
valorieand will probably never be ported04:49
tsimonq2My *personal* goal is to get Qt 4 completely and fully out the door no later than the 18.10 release.04:50
valorieand the rest -- we should help with the porting if it is important04:50
tsimonq2A lot of that is going to be work in Debian, which I'm involved in.04:50
tsimonq2For example I'll be doing a QA upload soon to update to a new upstream version.04:50
tsimonq2etc. etc. etc.04:50
valorienice04:50
valorieI appreciate that04:50
tsimonq2valorie: You know what I mean when I say QA upload04:51
valorieso do you plan to do a full Lub. release of lxqt?04:51
tsimonq2And yeah, it's going to need to be a large effort in Debian first :)04:51
valorieright04:51
tsimonq2Yep, 17.10 will be the first release with Lubuntu and Lubuntu Next04:51
tsimonq2valorie: (Q about QA upload is a question :P)04:52
valorieoh, not entirely04:52
valorieI know what QA *is*04:52
tsimonq2valorie: So you know how Debian has the concept of maintainers?04:53
valoriebut not exactly what you are planning to upload04:53
valorieyes04:53
tsimonq2When a package is in the archive but has no maintainer, that's an orphaned package04:53
valorieper package, right04:53
tsimonq2The QA Team is the "maintainer" for orphaned packages04:53
tsimonq2Everyone can be on the QA Team04:53
valorieI've read the Policy Manual04:53
tsimonq2So yeah, I'll be working in Debian to do QA uploads, maybe even Non Maintainer Uploads if necessary, to get all of this ported over04:54
tsimonq2valorie: Honestly, you'd be surprised how much is being deprecated and how much isn't04:55
tsimonq2Good chunks of things are going out the window, lots, well, aren't.04:55
valorieok, you are talking "porting" in Debian terms04:56
tsimonq2No04:57
valoriewhereas I was talking in KDE terms04:57
tsimonq2I'm talking, porting to Qt 504:57
tsimonq2Like, I want to get all of the revdeps of Qt 4, which includes lots of KDE, removed or ported04:57
valorieok, but it is often necessary to also port away from the kde4libsupport or whatever that is named04:57
tsimonq2Yeah04:57
tsimonq2I'm saying that too04:58
valoriethat's what I mean by fully ported04:58
valoriethat part is fully gone04:58
tsimonq2Yeahp.04:58
valoriesome games and such will never make the jump unless they gain maintainers who do it04:58
tsimonq2valorie: kdesudo for example was still KDE 3 but using the compatibility layer that comes with KDE 4 to functio.04:58
tsimonq2s/functio/function/04:58
valoriemuch of the easy stuff has been done04:58
tsimonq2valorie: Well, that's just what it'll be. If there's enough interest, someone will port it.04:59
valorieright, which is why we both want it gone04:59
valorieyep04:59
valorieI've talked people into becoming maintainers04:59
valorieit doesn't take much work, for some stuff04:59
tsimonq2I *might* port some stuff if I find the game entertaining but no promises there04:59
valoriejust be careful not to overextend yourself05:02
tsimonq2That's why I say no promises :P05:02
valorieyou're in school and that has to be priority ONE05:02
tsimonq2I've been keeping myself busy05:02
valoriecool05:03
tsimonq2Retaking Geometry this year, this new teacher is a bit more lax about homework, that's exactly what I need.05:03
tsimonq2Otherwise I'm managing my time better this year/05:03
valoriegood to hear05:04
valoriesounds like boring old "maturity" is sneaking up on ya05:04
tsimonq2Meh, I slept all day today so I might be pulling the all nighter :P05:05
valorieoh good lord dude05:06
tsimonq2One thing I got a lot better at over the summer is going longer without sleep and a functioning brain05:06
valoriemake it a half-nighter at least!05:06
valorieno, you are killing brain cells05:06
valoriesleep is not for the weak, it is necessary to stay healthy05:07
tsimonq2*shrug* I don't do it too often so I think I'll be fine.05:07
valorieok05:07
valoriewell, enjoy it while ya can05:07
valorieI used to be able to do it and just can't function without sleep anymore05:07
tsimonq2This endless grind... I can't wait until I have more free time for what I love doing05:07
valoriegetting old sucks sometimes05:07
valorielol05:07
tsimonq2Meh, it is what it is, people change over time05:08
valoriethere is always a grind05:08
tsimonq2Sometimes the grind is more enjoyable than other times05:08
valorieyou have to focus on doing what you love and just make the rest so routine that you hardly notice it05:08
tsimonq2Yeah05:08
valorieI used to hate yardwork05:08
valorienow I love to just help the plants grow05:09
tsimonq2You? Hate yardwork? :O05:09
valoriedifferent mindset05:09
tsimonq2You love to keep your garden up afair!05:09
valorieI love the plants, not the work05:09
tsimonq2It's pretty cool looking too :305:09
tsimonq2Ah ok05:09
valoriebut the work is necessary05:09
tsimonq2Sure05:09
valorieso rather than crabbing internally about it, I just get on with it05:09
tsimonq2mhm05:10
valorieyes, it's the work of 40+ years05:10
tsimonq2:D05:10
tsimonq2I have a few bits of misc homework I need to get done but I mostly want to get that out of the way so I can get some Ubuntu/Debian stuff done tonight05:11
tsimonq2I'm enjoying school a bit more this year so far05:11
valoriegood!05:11
tsimonq2While yes it's 8 hours of grind, I'm more interested in the topics05:11
valoriepeople will be happy tomorrow because05:12
valoriey'all beat our Seahawks05:12
tsimonq2oh lolll05:12
tsimonq2What was the score?05:12

valorieand the guy who runs our fav. restaurant is a cheesehead05:13
tsimonq2Oh that's right, you told me about that05:14
valorieso he'll be crowing on Wed.05:14
