guivercCongratulations Aaron / arraybolt3[m] 00:03
Eickmeyer[m]YAY!!!! See arraybolt3 ? What did I tell you?01:32
arraybolt3[m]OK wow. This is... really exciting to open my chat to tonight! Thank you guys so much!01:53
kc2bez[m]arraybolt3[m]: I was excited to announce it! 01:56
lubot[telegram] <Roberalz> Thank you  For your work.  congratulations!!!! (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <arraybolt3[m]> OK wow. This is... really exciting to open my chat to tonight! Thank you guys so much!)01:56
arraybolt3[m]I still remember seeing the notification come through on my Chromebook earlier today - I literally froze and just stared at the screen in shock for a solid three or five seconds.01:56
arraybolt3[m]Eickmeyer: Thank you for the heads-up about the version number - I forgot about the fact that I messed the number up last time...01:57
tsimonq2I didn't even get a chance to endorse you... thankfully they were on it so fast I didn't even have to :)03:14
arraybolt3[m]Simon Quigley: LOL man I was just sitting there nervously checking my email over and over for the last almost two days.03:17
* Eickmeyer[m] thwaps Simon Quigley with a ruler for not updating the git repo for calamares-settings-ubuntu after sponsoring each uploads03:23
* Eickmeyer[m] * thwaps Simon Quigley with a ruler for not updating the git repo for calamares-settings-ubuntu after sponsoring each upload03:23
* arraybolt3[m] marvels that we're only using rulers and not black hole projectors and cruise missiles03:25
Eickmeyer[m]> * <@arraybolt3:matrix.org> marvels that we're only using rulers and not black hole projectors and cruise missiles03:26
Eickmeyer[m]I'm a bit nicer than teward , but I'm not shy of pointlessly highlighting him.03:26
arraybolt3[m]Wow, that reaction took me around a full minute to find.03:28
tsimonq2<Eickmeyer[m]> "thwaps Simon Quigley with a..." <- See arraybolt3 @arraybolt3:matrix.org? Sponsor gets pinged :)03:29
arraybolt3[m]...?... oh I get it LOL03:29
Eickmeyer[m]Either way, I did the heavy lifting and updated the git repos by applying the diffs.  🎵 "What can I say except you're welcome?" 🎵03:31
tsimonq2Eickmeyer[m]: Reminds me... I think you should also apply for git perms03:34
tsimonq2(Aaron)03:34
Eickmeyer[m]Basically, arraybolt3 , because Simon Quigley didn't do it, meant I *couldn't* do it, which meant I had to hunt for the diffs to apply as patches as if they were git commits and just apply them as giant commits.03:34
Eickmeyer[m]tsimonq2: Agreed, arraybolt3 .03:35
* arraybolt3[m] looks up how to do that too03:35
arraybolt3[m]Simon Quigley Eickmeyer How do I do that? It looks like there isn't a button in Gitea or GitHub for that on my end, and I'd think that one of you (probably Simon Quigley) would be the person to talk to about that, so if it's someone else, I'm not sure where to go from there03:40
Eickmeyer[m]Yeah, Simon Quigley or Dan Simmons would probably be the best people for that. I'm not exactly in the know on the Lubuntu infra side like that.03:42
tsimonq2arraybolt3[m]: Email like the OGs ;)03:42
arraybolt3[m]Ah. Right, OK. lubuntu-council again?03:43
lubot[telegram] <teward001> should've not pinged me.  you awoke me from sleep. (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <Eickmeyer[m]> I'm a bit nicer than teward , but I'm not shy of pointlessly highlighting him.)03:48
tsimonq2t_e_       w_a_  r_d04:01
tsimonq2does that still ping you or do you have regexes? :P04:01
lubot[telegram] <Leokolb> Congratulations Aaron - your work is and welcome as an official Lubuntu project member - well done! (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <arraybolt3[m]> OK wow. This is... really exciting to open my chat to tonight! Thank you guys so much!)06:21
arraybolt3[m]@Leokolb: Thank you! I'm working on a Lubuntu-related project right now!06:22
tsimonq2<arraybolt3[m]> "Ah. Right, OK. lubuntu-council..." <- Yes06:45
arraybolt3[m]👍️06:45
RikMillsarraybolt3[m]: congrats :D06:52
arraybolt3[m]RikMills: Thanks! Very glad to be here :)06:52
arraybolt3[m]Simon Quigley: I'm not sure how to proceed with the libfm-qt work in Debian. Andrew is requesting that I do things that I've either been directly told by you to not do (or asking me to not do things I've been told by you to do), and is requesting that I do things that I've not seen done before in Debian. Whenever you get a chance, if you could check on my libfm-qt pull request and maybe pitch in or tell me what I should do, I'd17:08
arraybolt3[m]appreciate it. https://salsa.debian.org/lxqt-team/libfm-qt/-/merge_requests/517:08
ubot93Merge 5 in lxqt-team/libfm-qt "Totally redid all debian/experimental work" [Opened]17:08
tsimonq2arraybolt3[m]: He's talking about cherry-picking commits to keep the authors and amending each commit to fix it up, keeping the original author but noting your changes 17:11
arraybolt3[m]That makes sense, but it's the bit with the changelog that I'm most confused about.17:12
tsimonq2If it's something simple like changelog formatting, cherry-pick it, amend the commit (keeping the author intact, see --author=""), and verifying each commit has only what you need 17:12
arraybolt3[m]OK. I guess I'll try to do it and run it by you first so you can tell me if I at least got close.17:14
tsimonq2arraybolt3 @arraybolt3:matrix.org: For later, what does it mean for a git merge to be fast-forwarded?17:40
arraybolt3[m]Simon Quigley: The HEAD (along with the index) is updated to point at the named commit, without creating an extra merge commit. (I just copypasta'd that from the git-merge man page, but I understand what it means I believe, and I'm not sure of a better way to phrase it.)17:42
arraybolt3[m]Also I didn't know what it meant until just after you asked when I looked it up, so thanks, now I know another term!17:42
tsimonq2Of course :D17:53
tsimonq2To be clear, this is not a straight ff merge 17:53
arraybolt3[m]True.17:54
tsimonq2I wanted to put it in that context for you too in case it makes something click :)17:54
LeoK[m]Testing todays Kinetic Lubuntu daily 07-08-22 LibreOffice now installs with Icelandic language - well done - will update bug report in a few min..18:34
Eickmeyer[m]*cough* arraybolt3 , Simon Quigley et al: Any hope of getting bug 1970270 into Jammy, especially before .1 on Thursday, it needs to be converted into an SRU and pronto.20:09
ubot93Bug 1970270 in calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Jammy) "LibreOffice localization is not working out of the box" [High, In Progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/197027020:09
* arraybolt3[m] digs up old SRU paperwork20:09
arraybolt3[m]Found it, will be setting up an SRU momentarily.20:12
arraybolt3[m]Simon Quigley Eickmeyer SRU done, should I subscribe the SRU team or leave it as-is? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/calamares-settings-ubuntu/+bug/197027021:31
ubot93Launchpad bug 1970270 in calamares-settings-ubuntu (Ubuntu Jammy) "LibreOffice localization is not working out of the box" [High, In Progress]21:31
Eickmeyer[m]arraybolt3: LGTM, I say sub the SRU team to it, but change the bug summary and just prefix it with "[SRU]".21:33
Eickmeyer[m]Don't worry about attaching the diff, I've already uploaded the change which auto-gens the diff.21:34
arraybolt3[m]Oy, I already attached the diff...21:35
arraybolt3[m]Eickmeyer: Is the fact that I had already attache the diff before you said anything about it going to cause any problems?21:40
Eickmeyer[m]Nah, not at all.21:41
arraybolt3[m]👍️ SRU team subscribed.21:42
Eickmeyer[m]They'll just see it's identical in this case. But, just know for the future it's a step you can skip if a sponsor has already uploaded.21:42
arraybolt3[m]OK, I didn't realize you had already uploaded it.21:42
Eickmeyer[m]Yeah, did it last night.21:42
arraybolt3[m]It was probably good that I did it, though, I got a bit more comfortable with Git and package versioning since I fixed a problem on my end myself that you already fixed on your end...21:43
arraybolt3[m](I'm getting better at this thanks to you guys!)21:43
