[10:30] <RikMills> santa_: git repos and metadata updated to include kirigami-gallery and kipi-plugins
[11:29] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[16:30] <santa_> good afternoon everyone
[16:31] <santa_> RikMills: thanks for the metadata update
[16:32] <santa_> RikMills: regarding akonadi with mariadb case, I was waiting to test a number of things and give you a full report, but since mysql version which works is gone, I would say go ahead with the switch
[16:33] <santa_> I have been reading a bit about MySQL/MariaDB, and checked that, indeed neon and debian switched to mariadb, also the person who did the switch is also involved in the kdepim upstream development, so I hope this time they know what they are doing
[16:34] <RikMills> santa_: thanks. I do that in a bit then
[16:35] <santa_> I could reproduce the issue with new MySQL exactly in the way you said, it seems akonadi fails to start the MySQL thing according to the logs
[16:35] <santa_> I haven't figured out why though
[16:38] <santa_> RikMills: just for the record I haven't tested anything with MariaDB yet, but I plan to do so before this cycle ends
[16:38] <santa_> hmm, and we have a new plasma version
[16:38] <RikMills> good. as I don't use it, testing with any type of real world db is hard for me
[16:39] <RikMills> plasma is building in staging
[16:39] <santa_> no prob, I use it myself, but only @ LTS
[16:39] <santa_> no problem in doing some testing with VM's
[16:39] <RikMills> if plasma builds ok, I'll upload to Eoan later
[16:40] <RikMills> final bugfix release should be straight forward
[16:40] <santa_> ok, nice time to do a test rebuild of everything again
[16:40]  * RikMills nods
[16:41] <santa_> since you are here, there's a small change in KA I wanted to discuss with you
[16:41] <RikMills> apps 19.08.1 is also building in ppa
[16:41] <RikMills> ok
[16:41] <santa_> the thing is, for a long time we had a slightly shoddy thing in KA which I never had time to fix til now
[16:42] <santa_> ubuntu_info.py
[16:42] <santa_> it has an embedded map which changes "dinamically"
[16:42] <santa_> which is an utter disrespect for the design priciples of the new tooling XD
[16:43] <santa_> so I'm going to push something to ka-metadata and explain that something, are you ok with that? do you have any pending unpushed work for ka-metadata?
[16:44] <RikMills> nope. all push for now
[16:44] <RikMills> *pushed
[16:44] <santa_> ok, let me push then
[16:46] <santa_> ok, in the master branch there should be an ubuntu-release-info.json
[16:47] <santa_> this file would contain in the future that map, so it won't be hardcoded anymore AND
[16:47] <santa_> another map with special values
[16:48] <santa_> so this way we would be able to have something like kubuntu_:ubuntu-devel:_archive for the default branch
[16:48] <RikMills> ok. so change there only
[16:48] <santa_> I didn't make the code changes yet, because I wanted to know if you have any criricism to make about this move
[16:49] <santa_> yeah, the idea is changing the json file only
[16:50] <santa_> so this way it won't be needed to make a point release each and everytime there is a new ubuntu version
[16:50] <RikMills> I don't think so. one config file change vs having to grep all ka to find stuff to change seems sensible
[16:51] <santa_> ok, whenever I can I will make the code changes for 2.3, if anything wrong we can always revert the thing
[16:51] <RikMills> ok :)
