Unit193bluesabre: Amazing job with xfce4-settings!03:45
bluesabreUnit193: thanks! I think we might be to a point now where SRU uploads are a bit more trusted for each team, so it's easier to move microreleases along. This will change when somebody breaks something though, so enjoy the ability to give our users updates :D04:03
flocculantbluesabre: thanks for all the sru stuffs :)10:09
bluesabreflocculant: sure thing10:14
bluesabreworking on the catfish sru now10:14

flocculantoh cool10:18
flocculantI've seen e-mails during the week - but not done much more than fleetingly read them10:18
flocculantI'll try and catch up today 10:18
bluesabreI'm on vacation next week, so trying to knock some stuff out before Monday10:19

flocculantbiab - just got back after todays 4 hour ride - first port of call was here :)10:21
flocculantkettle next :D10:21
Unit193    - Dropped, Xfce release manager does not have key signing10:35
Unit193:(10:35
bluesabreonce xfce moves to gandhi, I'm pretty sure gitea does support it10:48
bluesabreso, hopefully temporary10:48
Unit193If Xfce uses that for releases over moka, that is.  And if it does, we lose that nice little html page. :(10:49
bluesabreno winning then :(10:50
bluesabrethere's the catfish sru, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/catfish/+bug/178273510:50

bluesabrexfce4-settings is in -updates10:51
bluesabreexo should be there in a day or two10:51
bluesabrexfce4-terminal should be there before 18.04.110:51
bluesabrecatfish will be slightly after .110:51
flocculantbluesabre: has anyone killed 17.10 on our stuff yet?10:51
bluesabreflocculant: good question10:52
Unit193flocculant: I'm fairly homicidal, so chances are I might have.  Was I not supposed to?10:52
bluesabreand https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/1762595 is fixed10:52
ubottuLaunchpad bug 1762595 in gvfs (Ubuntu Cosmic) "Thunar incorrectly thinks USB storage device hasn't finished ejecting" [High,Fix released]10:52
flocculantUnit193: lol10:52
flocculantgone from docs - still on download page, I'll see if I can kill that later and mail lists10:53
bluesabreflocculant: thx10:54
Unit193PPAs, everything has been cleaned out except daily which I don't touch, and seemingly extras.10:54
flocculantokey doke10:55
Unit193I, uhh...Nearly went after Bionic in 'experimental'10:55
flocculant:)10:55
Unit193Too bad we can't SRU ristretto.10:56
flocculanteverytime I see ristretto I read risotto10:56
flocculantbluesabre Unit193 - oh, now then11:00
flocculantIf we kill 17.10 - there are no regular releases - people can only get an LTS - so they'd not ever see a regular release unless they fiddle with update manager11:01
flocculantbest we can do I suppose is detail that in the eol notice - pointing to the docs11:02
flocculantknome: looking at https://xubuntu.org/wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=release&tag_ID=81&post_type=release_link&wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit-tags.php%3Ftaxonomy%3Drelease%26post_type%3Drelease_link11:04
knomeflocculant, yes?11:04
flocculantwhich implies that torrent links hide after eol date11:04
knomeyes.11:05
flocculantbut it's visible11:05
knomehmm.11:05
knomeokat11:05
flocculant:)11:05
knomeokay too11:05
knomefor what release is this?11:05
knomeor for all?11:05
flocculant17.1011:05
flocculantEOL yesterday11:06
knomealso :D11:06
knomehttps://xubuntu.org/wp-admin/term.php?taxonomy=release&tag_ID=81&post_type=post&wp_http_referer=%2Fwp-admin%2Fedit-tags.php%3Ftaxonomy%3Drelease (and all similar pages)11:06
knomeread "release apes"11:06
knomemaybe that should be corrected to "release pages"11:06
knomehmm...11:07
flocculantare the dates in the wrong syntax there?11:07
knomefor now, the workaround is to uncheck the "is this release out?" box11:07
knomenope11:07
knomethey are in the correct syntax -- but11:07
flocculantthen the wording is :D11:07
flocculantDate in YYYY-MM-DD format.11:07
knomeyour browser might show it differently11:07
knomebecause that's the new HTML5 date input11:08
flocculantdate shows as 19/07/201811:08
knomeyep.11:08
knomethat's the html5 thingy11:08
flocculantanyway - ack to unchecking11:08
knometo me it shows 07/19/201811:08
knomebut if you don't mind -- file a bug against xubuntu-website in launchpad11:08
knomethis should be automatical for sure11:08
flocculantoh good lord11:08
knomebut yes, the description is a bit off i guess..11:09
knomethe thing is11:09
knomeif your browser *doesn't* support the html5 date input11:09
knomethen the input is shown as plain text11:09
knome...and the you'd have no idea what to input11:09
flocculantknome: so I unchecked it - and it still shows up11:10
knomewhere?11:10
knomenot https://xubuntu.org/release/17-10/11:10
flocculanthttps://xubuntu.org/download/11:10
knomeoh.11:10
flocculanthave to manually do that I guess11:10
knomeinteresting11:10
knomeyes, you need to manually edit the downloads page11:10
knomei guess11:10
knome*sigh* :)11:11
knomethat's another thing i should automate.11:11
knomebut you know, life...11:11
flocculantI'll do it all later today - not got time to do everything right now11:11
knomei can remove it11:11
flocculantyea for sure - I know I've been quiet since the start of the cycle11:11
knomeand done11:12
knomemaybe i'll have the motivation and time in late august+11:12
flocculantknome: ok - I'll follow up later today with words everywhere it's needed11:12
knometa11:12
knomei'll file the damn bug(s) myself now11:12
flocculantfunnily enough docs doesn't show 17.10 :D11:12
knomeyep11:12
knomebecause that's automated11:13
flocculantoh ok - scribbles that note out :D11:13
knomehmm, there is this other thing11:14
knometimezones11:14
flocculantI did wonder 11:14
knomeis it still 19th in the server tz?11:14
knomeso maybe wait 24 hours11:14
knomeand recheck11:14
flocculantyea11:14
knomei checked the "out" box for 17.1011:14
knomeso they are now visible11:15
knomeshould automatically disappear11:15
flocculantyup11:15
flocculantcheers11:15
knomebut in any case -- we should make sure that is done automatically in UTC 11:15
knomenp11:15
Unit193I got a ping.11:15
knomeding dong11:15
knometheoretically https://xubuntu.org/releases/ could offer the downloads as well.11:16
knomebut... meh :)11:16
flocculant:)11:16
knomenow that Spass did the work of getting all the old wallpapers, we could list them for each release as well11:17
knome(and we pretty much already support doing that, only the heading is a bit wrong as it says "Screenshots", could be "Media")11:17
flocculantcould be nice11:18
knomepleia2, i (still) propose getting rid of the press archive (https://xubuntu.org/press/archive)11:18
flocculantanyway - back later11:18
knomethe press stuff i laid out so much nicer in the release pages -- even if it's not listing everything on the same page...11:18
knomeflocculant, hf!11:19
knomehttps://xubuntu.org/release/6-06/ for an example for the wallpaper stuff..11:20
knomethat way we are also essentially offering downloads for the official wallpapers "easily"11:21
knome(which is a good thing)11:21
flocculantyea - makes sense 11:21
flocculantreally going now :p11:21
knomeyes :P11:21
knomeoh hello rt.ubuntu.com11:28
knomeso every wallpaper except maverick uploaded - it exceeds the max upload size (rt #32539 requests to increase that) 11:42
Spassknome, very nice little change, now that page looks more "alive" - https://xubuntu.org/release/16-04/12:01
knomeyes indeed12:01
knomeeven more so with the EOL releases that have no other media12:02
Spassups, that last screenshot is from 13.04 - https://xubuntu.org/release/14-04/12:05
knomeclearl12:06
knomey12:06
knome:P12:06
knomeman, we need a filter-by-release feature:P12:06
knomenow the last screenshot is gone12:06
knomefortunately this is easy as that..12:06
Spassand thanks to that change I now know that I've missed 10.04 wallpaper on my website, I thought that release used a wall from the 9.10, so thanks :)12:11
knome;)12:11
knomeactually i'm not sure if that was the real case.12:12
knomemy memory with that is a bit hazy, but that's what i had on my filesystem12:12
knome*shrug*12:12
knomeit might have been one of the rare cases when a new wallpaper wasn't uploaded for a release12:12
Spasshmm, so I should investigate that12:13
Spasslet my download that ISO and check :P12:13
knometa12:16
knomeyou should start get involved a bit more even, we could then add you to the website team (and xubuntu team) so you could do things on yer own12:17
knomeand/or if you are active on social media, i'm sure pleia2 would love some help maintaining stuff12:17
knomenow off for something completely different12:22
knomeo/12:22
Spassthanks knome, I'm trying to be a "sometimes helpful" outsider ;) and yes, I probably should get involved in the project more, I hope I'll find some ways to do that in the future, problem is I'm not skilled or knowledgeable enough, I think, but I'll try to help with some ISO testing in the future also12:25
Spassseems like 10.04 used a wall from 9.10 by default, but still, I like that from the release page more :)12:48
knomeSpass, we do need different skills - everybody doesn't need to be a developer :)13:49
SpassI know, but a person should have some "different skills" first :D13:52
Spassanyway, that all talk about old Xubuntu versions made me nostalgic and I'm making simple grey Plymouth theme13:53
Spasshttps://i.imgur.com/utakTGJ.png13:53
Spass#333333 background of course ;) to keep it official13:54
Spassand since I don't have SSD on my laptop I will be able to actually see that screen13:55
pleia2knome: you had proposed it before? :) I suppose as long as we have the articles linked somewhere, it's ok, since I do like being able to walk through history and see what articles popped up about releases from 7 years ago :)18:53
knomepleia2, yeah, when we moved to the new (current) press link collection thingy  :)20:23
pleia2ah20:25
Unit193https://tracker.debian.org/news/974393/accepted-elementary-xfce-012-1-source-all-into-unstable-unstable/ there appears to be a new package in Debian, I have no clue where it came from.20:39
