| Unit193 | ochosi: OK, I thought an xfconf channel would be cool. I can test a patch to see if it seems long enough though, if that'd help. And I keep not mentioning because there's no need, I abhor gtk-swtches, the new one has them. I think most everything else was either addressed in the icon theme or xfpm itself, I at least remember checking some upower info for it. | 00:12 |
|---|---|---|
| ochosi | Unit193: i could make a greybird variant for you where switches look like checkboxes | 05:49 |
| Unit193 | Wow, thanks for the offer! But alas, I use (a patched) Numix. But as I said, it's not a "regression" per se. Though I'd not want to sync the current version in Experimental, would want the new release. | 05:50 |
| ochosi | i guess i could patch a patched nunix too ;) | 05:51 |
| Unit193 | :o | 05:51 |
| ochosi | just so that i dont pester you both about it, would you take care of xfpm1.6 or shall i poke sean? | 05:51 |
| Unit193 | I'd likely take longer than him, I'd want it in Debian. :P | 05:52 |
| Unit193 | I could likely do it anyway though. | 05:52 |
| ochosi | having it in debian is not a mistakrle | 05:53 |
| ochosi | as long as we get if before FF ;) | 05:53 |
| Unit193 | I'll see if it's time for unstable rather than experimental. | 05:54 |
| Unit193 | ochosi: Anything else dev-wise to note? Or that I should note? | 05:57 |
| ochosi | yeah, there is an a11y feature i would like to include in xfce4-settings | 06:05 |
| ochosi | "find my cursor" | 06:06 |
| ochosi | the code already exists and the author agreed to let us include it | 06:06 |
| Unit193 | Wait, didn't windows XP or something have this feature? | 06:06 |
| Unit193 | Hold a button and it had a closing ring on it? | 06:07 |
| ochosi | i'd probavly do it synchronously upstream (if bluesabre agrees) with a patch release and then we could sync that | 06:07 |
| ochosi | yup, exactly that | 06:07 |
| ochosi | comes in handy in todays multi-monitor world | 06:07 |
| ochosi | and finally maybe another clipman release with a search function | 06:08 |
| ochosi | if i get to it | 06:08 |
| ochosi | the parole patches i would postpone until after FF | 06:08 |
| Unit193 | Yeah sounds nice. | 06:08 |
| ochosi | thats the rough plan | 06:10 |
| ochosi | if no dramatic bugs come up | 06:10 |
| Unit193 | So the problem with me doing stuff in Debian is that pkg-xfce has to migrate to Git from Svn, which is "fun" | 06:10 |
| ochosi | there are some scripts and helpers for that though | 06:11 |
| ochosi | i do that at $dayjob.from time to time | 06:11 |
| ochosi | or: whats the fun part? | 06:12 |
| Unit193 | Basically just doing it. | 06:15 |
| ochosi | in any case, maybe bluesabre can take cafe of xfpm | 06:15 |
| Unit193 | I've done a few, but none for pkg-xfce yet. | 06:15 |
| Unit193 | ochosi: spelling-error-in-binary usr/bin/xfce4-power-manager excuting executing | 06:35 |
| Unit193 | appstream-metadata-in-legacy-location usr/share/appdata/xfce4-power-manager.appdata.xml too if you feel like it, but personally I don't care in the slightest. :) | 06:35 |
| ochosi | sounds like something i should fix tonight | 06:39 |
| ochosi | we have a lot of appstream work to do... | 06:39 |
| Unit193 | There's an appstream checker somewhere hosted. | 06:40 |
| ochosi | yeah, i know | 06:41 |
| ochosi | but appstream is also "fun" ;) | 06:41 |
| bluesabre | Unit193: is there anything else that needs to be taken care of there? I can help with patches so we can get 1.6.2 out and work with Corsac on getting it to salsa | 10:16 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: Looks like a simple version bump, built it and didn't see anything pressing. | 10:17 |
| bluesabre | cool | 10:17 |
| Unit193 | Dunno why you're asking me though. :D | 10:20 |
| Unit193 | So far I have it built, but just sitting in /var/cache/pbuilder/result/bionic/ :3 | 10:20 |
| bluesabre | Unit193: since I knew you'd built it and looked at lintian :) | 10:45 |
| Unit193 | Only other upstream ones: binary-file-built-without-LFS-support, binary-without-manpage, desktop-entry-lacks-keywords-entry | 10:46 |
| knome | ochosi, since we carry that script to convert svg to png in the artwork package, maybe we could look at doing that for the wallpapers at some point as well? | 19:40 |
| ochosi | we could, but then the recolor feature of xfdesktop would break, no? | 19:41 |
| knome | hmm? | 19:41 |
| ochosi | hm, i don't remember anymore if we did that or not (ship a wallpaper with partly transparent background and set a background color in xfdesktop) | 19:48 |
| knome | we didn't | 19:49 |
| ochosi | and i thought svg was an advantage there for some reason.. | 19:49 |
| knome | and png supports alpha anyway... | 19:49 |
| knome | nah | 19:49 |
| knome | we already ship png | 19:49 |
| ochosi | ok, in that case there is no reason not to convert svg to png | 19:49 |
| ochosi | with the script i mean | 19:49 |
| knome | the thing is we could then put the svg's on the package | 19:49 |
| knome | and convert to png | 19:49 |
| ochosi | yeah, it's very simple, it's in debian/rules | 19:49 |
| ochosi | if you wanna take a look | 19:49 |
| knome | yeah, but probably for 18.10 | 19:50 |
| ochosi | i'll keep hogging that find-cursor topic meanwhile | 19:50 |
| knome | i'm optimizing our wallpaper png's | 19:50 |
| ochosi | still hope i can get that into 18.04 | 19:50 |
| knome | either we didn't do this before or software has gotten better | 19:50 |
| knome | i get 20-30% decrease in size for most | 19:50 |
| knome | also, do we want to drop some older relases with this LTS? | 19:51 |
| knome | maybe drop everything pre-16.04? | 19:51 |
| ochosi | yeah, why not | 19:52 |
| ochosi | we could also push them to a legacy or nostalgia package | 19:52 |
| knome | looks like we did a similar thing before | 19:52 |
| ochosi | but i'm not sure it's worth the effort | 19:52 |
| knome | sure we can | 19:52 |
| * knome shrugs | 19:52 | |
| ochosi | could also put it on the website | 19:52 |
| knome | ask the packagers | 19:52 |
| knome | we already have it in launchpad | 19:52 |
| ochosi | just to keep it "available" somewhere | 19:52 |
| knome | iirc.. | 19:52 |
| ochosi | right, but LP is not very discoverable | 19:52 |
| knome | https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-team/xubuntu-marketing/current/files/head:/wallpapers/2560x1600/ | 19:53 |
| knome | and the sources https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-team/xubuntu-marketing/current/files/head:/wallpapers/sources/ | 19:53 |
| knome | i know but link to them | 19:53 |
| knome | why duplicate the effort | 19:53 |
| knome | :P | 19:53 |
| knome | also should optimize the png's on that branch | 19:54 |
| ochosi | yeah, sure, linking to LP should be fine | 19:55 |
| ochosi | indeed | 19:55 |
| knome | heeey, i was able to make my NUC make some noise! | 19:55 |
| knome | guess i should also clean up some day | 19:56 |
| knome | gets dusty in here... | 19:56 |
| flocculant | bluesabre: not happening on the live session - but what I'm seeing locally is no right click menu in catfish - not sure whether to report, as possibly an effect of something in ppa, so just ftr unless you want it reported | 21:10 |
