| Tribaal | tarzeau: I'm not sure I understand what we failed you about: what did you want Ubuntu improved for? | 07:23 |
|---|---|---|
| tarzeau | many things. i'd have to dig out the things. 5 years old. unity bugs, lightdm bugs (still not fixed btw), and both got irrelevant now | 07:56 |
| tarzeau | the rest we work around/fix ourselves. software packaging as well (via debian) | 07:56 |
| Tribaal | ah, yeah, desktop bugs I'm afraid I couldn't help much with anywa :) | 08:21 |
| Tribaal | (except pinging relevant people) | 08:21 |
| Tribaal | Right now I hope Mark decides on the name soon so we can move forward with B :) | 08:26 |
| tarzeau | Tribaal: why did mark chose gnome? and not gnustep? | 10:36 |
| Tribaal | That was the desktop team's decision as far as I know | 10:46 |
| Tribaal | You could ask in #ubuntu-desktop , people there will know the answer | 10:47 |
| Tribaal | Mark reviews the strategies for various teams, but usually doesn't get more involved | 10:48 |
| Tribaal | But he decides for the names, still | 10:48 |
| tarzeau | ah k | 11:18 |
| tarzeau | are you using snaps? | 11:18 |
| tarzeau | i've tried because of bugs.debian.org/730638 | 11:19 |
| tarzeau | however i wasn't able to launch the snap as user :( | 11:19 |
| tarzeau | now i'm packaging it myself | 11:19 |
| tarzeau | is the name after a, 1810 already out? | 11:21 |
| tarzeau | ubuntu 18.04 ships stone age versions of my packages | 11:21 |
| tarzeau | can't wait for the new archive sync | 11:21 |
| Tribaal | tarzeau: yeah I use snaps for some desktop apps of mine, and for juju | 11:44 |
| Tribaal | tarzeau: that's a good use case indeed - snaps also always keep up to date | 11:44 |
| Tribaal | (ah, and my passowrd manager is in a snap too) | 11:44 |
| Tribaal | tarzeau: no, 18.04 will be released in April 2018, and the name has not been announced yet | 11:45 |
| Tribaal | so it's not yet open (the archives are not open) | 11:45 |
| Tribaal | we (all of Ubuntu) are waiting for Mark to decide on the name :p | 11:46 |
| tarzeau | ok | 11:50 |
| Tribaal | tarzeau: what libraries do you need in particular, out of curiosity? | 11:50 |
| tarzeau | that are not packaged yet? for the moment only this cloudcompare software | 11:53 |
| Tribaal | tarzeau: oh, that's a good candidate for a snap then, yes | 11:56 |
| * Tribaal didn't know about cloudcompare before | 11:57 | |
| tarzeau | it is already snap packaged | 12:21 |
| tarzeau | however it ends with | 12:21 |
