santa_good morning everybody10:20
santa_RikMills: so ... I have been thinking about check-binpkg-names fixing, see below10:21
santa_- this is how it currently behaves: it takes the kubuntu_<latest_ubuntu_devel_release>_archive branch and the debian/master branch and it prints a summary fo the binary package names difference10:22
RikMillsok10:23
santa_- this is how it would behave after doing a number of changes: it would take the current branch you are in and another branch to compare, which would be by default "debian/master"10:24
* RikMills glares at digikam10:24
RikMillsseems ok10:26
santa_eaxmple: let's say you are in the kubuntu_focal_virtual pim branch and you want to compare with debian/experimental10:26
santa_you would checkout kubuntu_focal_virtual and you would execute "check-binpkg-names -o debian/experimental"10:27
RikMillsright10:28
santa_btw10:28
santa_something I didn't draft in the wiki yet is which branches we should use to push the changes10:29
santa_we could either use the regular _staging branches or create dedicated branches10:29
santa_also the PPA we are going to use10:29
santa_we could either use a dedicated one or the regular staging one (we would need to wipe all the packages there fisrt if any)10:31
RikMillsperhaps? https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/ubuntu/experimental10:31
santa_that one seems cool10:31
santa_currently it only contains clazy which is not going to interfere with our pim work10:32
santa_so yeah, we could use that one10:32
santa_what about the branches, do you have an opinion?10:32
RikMillsclazy can go10:32
RikMillsbranches: creating a separate branch would be the approach. it would allow us to back out and try again if we needed to switch approach10:34
RikMillshowever, I don't think there is much doubt we have to go this way10:34
RikMills*would be the cautious approach10:34
santa_ok, looks good. so kubuntu_focal_virtualpim would be the name of the branch (y/n)?10:35
RikMillsseems fine to me10:36
santa_ok, let me document that so we can discuss the last issue we didn't discussed yet...10:36
RikMillsthis reminds me. I still need to add the usual staging branches to the KCI auto merging code/jobs10:38
RikMillsi.e. a push to those gets merged to kubuntu_stable or kubuntu_unstable10:39
santa_aha. documented PPA/branches we are going to use: https://phabricator.kde.org/w/kubuntu/black-operations/virtual-pim/10:39
RikMills:)10:40
santa_ok, so last topic we didn't touch yet: it's obvious we need to follow the build depends order (i.e. start with akonadi for instance)10:40
santa_so we would need a proper graph10:41
santa_so we would need to update the metadata to get ka-graph and friends working right10:41
santa_so we could make a virtualpim branch in ka-metadata, what do you think?10:42
RikMillsagain, seems sensible10:42
santa_sensible ~ reasonable? if so let's do that then10:44
RikMillsboth!10:44
RikMillsyes10:44
santa_ok, let me note that in the wiki then...10:45
RikMillssanta_: I have to go drive someone somewhere, so is there more? if so we can come back to this later10:45
santa_RikMills: we are done for now, thanks for your time!10:46
santa_and have a nice trip10:46
RikMillsvery unexciting trip :P10:46
santa_haha10:50
BluesKajHiyas all11:57
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Hey Folks 😁12:19
BluesKajhey Sick_Rimmit12:19
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> I'm working with a team who are evaluating some hardware, and they're planning to drop back to 19.04 for performance reasons. I thought I would share their findings.12:20
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> In the interest of stability, we propose to ship Kubuntu 19.04 until 19.10 is stabilized. Here are some of the more critical issues we are seeing with 19.10: … 1. The CPU is pegged at max frequency and Intel Speed Shift (p-state) does not throttle down.  Earlier kernels worked great and normally idled all cores at 800Mhz. This problem only occurs after initial updates, and then is persistent.  (We believe this is withou12:20
IrcsomeBotbackports repository, but must confirm). This kills battery life, heats up the device, and makes it noisy. … 2. The OS is reporting too many open concurrent files during normal use after update. … 3. Geekbench4 scores are too low. Before the update we were seeing ~5.5k / ~26k, now we see ~4.5 / ~13.5k. … We upgraded our prior generation (S76, Oryx Pro v5) to 19.10 (Pop!OS) and it has issues (1) and (2).  The Geekbench score remain12:20
IrcsomeBotbut Pop!OS is shipping with a somewhat earlier kernel. … Tomorrow we will test Pop! OS 19.10 on an Oryx Pro v4 to determine the extent of the CPU issue. We will also run 19.04 on our chosen hardware to confirm it fixes the issues. If this goes well - and we are quite confident it will - we propose to ship with 19.04 with the backports repository enabled. We believe this is critical to provide a trouble-free user experience that our targ12:20
IrcsomeBotdemographic demands.  … We should like to work with Kubuntu developers to help isolate and fix the issues and then upgrade to 19.10.  Your guidance there would be most helpful. … Sorry for the long note. What are your thoughts?12:20
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> Hi @BluesKaj hope all is going well12:27
BluesKajSick_Rimmit, doing fine here, how about you?12:27
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> All good here, been very busy, but I am back in the Kubuntu saddle now, and working on some good stuff to boost us 🥰13:10
BluesKajcool, good to hear that,  Sick_Rimmit13:17

viphi there19:07
IrcsomeBot<RikMills> @Sick_Rimmit I don't think I ca help on those issues, as they seem waaaaaaay outside my/kubuntu control. However, shipping a new system with 19.04 which is due to go EOL in January is quite frankly nuts.21:33
mamarleyFor what it is worth, I support several Kubuntu Eoan systems and I haven't seen any issues like that.22:04
IrcsomeBot<Sick_Rimmit> @RikMills, Actually, I hadn't thought about that at all, really good point @RikMills22:37
