Laneybig scary saws are scary though, can confirm08:20
cpaelzerHi desktop people, I'm looking for your experience on qmake in debian packaging - I have a package that mosly is jut "dh $@" except dhauto_configure which calls qmake on a .pro file. My question is how to pass it something like CXXFLAGS to e.g. get it to build -O014:36
cpaelzerI tried things like export DEB_CXXFLAGS_MAINT_APPEND := -O0 -g -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-deprecated-copy and various others but nothing did affect it, so I thought I call out to people which have been built more qt5/qmake based packages in the past :-)14:37
Laneydon't know personally, sorry cpaelzer, I'm not aware of any qmake projects we have, certainly haven't worked on that build system for ages14:43
Laneyit's mostly meson / autotools in gnome14:43
cpaelzeryeah with those I'd know :-)14:43
ginggscpaelzer: try https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=path%3Adebian%2Frules+QMAKE_CXXFLAGS&literal=014:43
cpaelzerthanks for thinking about it Laney, maybe someone else picks up the question later and knows14:43
cpaelzerthanks ginggs, taking a look14:45
oSoMoNMirv might know?14:46

oSoMoNgood morning hellsworth 14:48
seb128hey Heather, how are you?14:48
hellsworthhey guys. i'm ok. it was a rough weekend. nice to have some peace and quiet in front of my computer for a change :)14:49
seb128oSoMoN, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1897460 ... I didn't give much consideration to the topic, but do you know why thunderbird default to download in /tmp rather than $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR? (which would probably workaround that issue since the vlc snap would have access to the downloaded file then right?)14:49
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1897460 in snapd (Ubuntu) "VLC Snap Incompatible With Thunderbird" [Low,New]14:49
seb128oSoMoN, the issue is 'tb deb download attachment to /tmp and try to call the viewer on that, which doesn't work when you try to view a video with vlc installed as a snap'14:50
oSoMoNseb128, IIRC thunderbird (and firefox too) hardcode /tmp as the destination folder to write files to open14:53
oSoMoNthere was a long thread about this in the snapcraft forum, let me dig it up14:53
oSoMoNhttps://forum.snapcraft.io/t/sharing-files-via-tmp/161314:54
oSoMoNthere's also https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/opening-the-attachments-with-snap/986214:54
oSoMoNand https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/cannot-open-pdf-attachment-with-thunderbird/1184514:55
seb128oSoMoN, thanks14:57
seb128oSoMoN, but /tmp sharing is a difficult problem, it feels like we could easily workaround that case by changing /tmp to XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR15:01
oSoMoNseb128, I agree. Hopefully this can be achieved without patching the upstream code, and of course it needs to be thoroughly tested15:04
LaneyI guess the idea is that the download directory is for stuff you want to download and keep, and in that sense tmp is right for just opening and throwing away things once you're done. e.g. I back my downloads up (costing my bandwidth quota), but not /tmp of course15:07
seb128hum, right15:08
Laneymaybe if things clear up quickly enough then it might not be so bad15:11
cpaelzerginggs: echo "QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -O0 -g -Wno-deprecated-declarations -Wno-deprecated-copy" >> .qmake.conf did it, thanks for the hint16:05
ginggscpaelzer: yw!16:05
