[08:55] <Rhonda> Unit193: What's the reason to dropping botti?  I found an open issue that it doesn't seem to build with autotools, and I guess that might be the reason you switched to meson, but … doesn't it build with meson neither? If so, why the switch?
[08:59] <Unit193> Rhonda: Yes it doesn't build with autotools now, and I don't remember if it does with meson but there was a possibility of removing it (Nei said something about it not really doing anything anymore, and not worth keeping around.)  Autotools also had a permissions error with rules-requires-root, I believe this is a regression, but with meson it all worked fine.  In a branch, autotools had been
[08:59] <Unit193> removed, since it's not properly maintained now anyway (it seems) I went ahead and moved to meson (which, of course you don't have to.)
[09:01] <Unit193> (In meson, /etc/irssi.conf isn't installed anymore, so I install it otherwise, though they say that's not needed.  I just preferred it. :3 )
[11:08] <KBar> Hi. I don't know much about python but I decided to try to fix bug #1931350. After doing some research, I figured that the equality comparison is more correct to use with strings and replaced those complaining instances of 'is/is not' with !=/==. However, I'm a bit stuck after that: should I create a separate patch with quilt next or is it okay if I change the source directly and document the changes with `dch -i`?
