I think the decision is we stick with upstream icons ;-) .. so done 15:27:30 cb400f: thanks 15:27:48 I talked with bwiedemann about using 'themed' queries for next bug hunts, he likes the idea 15:28:02 remur_030: define 'themed' 15:28:43 instead of searching for open 11.4 bugs like last time search for kde or gnome I guess, the granularity isn't clear yet 15:29:00 problem is to cover all bug still =/ 15:29:51 for our own bug team, well we are getting more reports after the release as usual and are not very fast in handling them 15:30:08 nothing major though 15:31:06 ok 15:31:14 i haven't been tracking the bugs yet i admit 15:31:38 the connections in india were poor to awful 15:31:38 Bille: talking of bugs, I think kdebase4-openSUSE comes with the same background twice but doesn't use the one in the tarball but rather the one that Source points at 15:31:44 javier: it's reported? 15:32:03 so kdebase4-openSUSE ships on 11.4 with the background for 11.3 15:32:23 it'll be fixed on an update (almost done) 15:32:24 hm yeah I am also lacking time besides commenting on the ones where I have an awnser right out of the head 15:32:38 Bille: I think it isn't 15:32:59 I suppose it should use the one in the tarball, to avoid confusion 15:33:06 yes 15:33:20 but if it's the same background it's not worth discussing here 15:33:39 i'll be back in the office tomorrow 15:33:46 and will start doing triage 15:33:52 are any trends apparent? 15:34:26 sure. I just wanted to point out that there's going to be an update fixing it 15:34:52 pulseaudio with kmix doesn't seem to well off, I don't know if we lack anything here, it seems to work with kubuntu and kde4.5 15:35:09 javier: update? maintenance update? i don't think i understand the problem. 15:35:30 if it's the same bg, it doesn't matter whether it comes out of the Sources: or out of the tarball. 15:36:03 remur_030: i saw one bug where people missed the kmix-pulse backport 15:36:15 Bille: I guess that javier tries to indicate that we are shipping the 11.3 background in kdebase-openSUSE-11.4 15:36:29 Bille: yes, maintenance update 15:36:56 tittiatcoke: right. and besides that, there's something to be fixed in kdebase4-openSUSE 15:37:23 background from Source vs background from tarball 15:37:41 we have it twice 15:37:55 and if you don't update the Source one, you get the old background 15:38:14 i see. bad packaging 15:38:21 whatever background is in Source I mean 15:38:22 ok 15:38:27 yeah i see how it works now 15:38:36 the tarball has distro specific branding too 15:38:44 please report as a bug and cc me 15:38:53 will do 15:38:59 ok, so we started status report too 15:39:21 i'd like to personally congratulate everyone for his/her hard work 15:39:33 the feedback on 11.4 in the press is almost all good 15:39:42 +1 15:39:46 me too 15:39:47 +1 15:39:51 +1 15:40:00 +1, pretty impressive release over all 15:40:10 so even if we as the team are aware of all the ugly spots, nobody else noticed - we can feel good :) 15:40:22 :-) 15:40:32 * tittiatcoke seems to be good at covering things up :-) 15:40:33 Bille adopted too much to german engineering ;-) 15:40:52 how did the nvidia bug turn out btw, nobody replying or is it really fixed? 15:40:58 or fixed for some? 15:41:13 dragotin: well the british engineering way would be to fire the guy who knew about the ugly spots as soon as the work was done 15:41:22 I guess the same goes for the ugly Intel driver 15:41:24 afaics fixed by the newer driver only 15:41:26 plasma and amarok in default config didn't crash for me.. some report amarok still crashing... it's very muddy 15:41:39 yeah, amarok is not good 15:41:40 but it seems fixed for everyone with >=270.29 15:41:52 i've heard of amarok indexer problems too 15:41:59 so we just have to hope it'll be out soon.. and that sndirsch will package it 15:42:10 Bille: report? you mean that it crashes while indexing? 15:42:30 remur_030: no, just that it doesn't see any files while indexing 15:42:31 and starts all over again all the time? 15:42:33 was some irc chatter 15:43:01 anyway that's not status either 15:43:04 hmm ok, because I remember strigi crashing on some mp3 file, maybe amarok uses libstrigi these days too 15:43:19 there is a nice fix to strigi in the most recent commit digest 15:43:29 the dolphin fix by peter? 15:43:31 out of process indexing so it can't crash dolphin etc 15:43:33 yes 15:43:43 4.7 stuff 15:43:53 what else 15:43:58 yeah we had that discussion because I wanted something like this for strigi too, tracker has it for quite some time 15:44:08 so does amarok, even ;) 15:44:18 it just still manages to crash, apparently 15:44:19 do we have an ETA on pnm update? 15:44:22 jos said it takes too much work and peter just fixed it quickly in dolphin =/ 15:44:35 cb400f: to resolve which issue ? 15:44:43 3g connectivity 15:44:54 I understood the shipped version is outdated 15:45:02 also apparently dvd installs get knm.. not pnm 15:45:03 The pnm in playground fixed that issue. 15:45:12 cb400f: yes, not sure how to fix that in an update 15:45:19 tittiatcoke: that's why we were asking for an update 15:45:26 yep, but playground is used by ~1-2% 15:45:32 #action wstephenson ask maintenance team how to replace knm with pnm 15:45:44 just push it into kdf at least to get some test coverage 15:45:50 remur_030: I asked Bille if I should move it to KDF, but he wanted to double check if certain bugs were resolved 15:45:55 and kua 15:46:00 it's one of the bigger reports on bnc 15:46:11 actually push to KDF now 15:46:20 and i'll do the diligence before i pull to KDS 15:46:28 well kdf is our testbed, do we really want people to use kup? 15:46:29 :-) 15:46:30 ah 15:46:43 Bille: thanks 15:46:48 * Bille moved 4.6.0 to KDS, tittiatcoke helped clean up the resulting mess 15:47:09 * tittiatcoke was glad he could help out in times of need :-) 15:47:34 i still have that annoying list open and 2 bug reports with known patches I wanted to submit 15:47:43 but not until the weekend I guess =/ 15:47:55 * The akonadi-facebook resource is available in K:U:P 15:48:07 krop: 4.6 dependent? 15:48:40 * tittiatcoke updated kdepim46 to the latest status 15:48:52 Bille: yes 15:49:08 so is it in KUSC:kdepim46 or vanilla KUSC? 15:49:23 so, KDF and KR46 users can test it 15:49:40 (even the KDS ones) 15:49:43 does upstream have any plans for a kdepim release? 15:49:58 Bille: the akonadi-facebook resource is in KUP 15:50:24 sorry, konvi emoticons butchered krop's line 15:50:25 ok 15:50:36 remur_030: see dot today, apparently there will be a 4.6 kdepim 15:51:58 I've heard rumours from the last meeting that 4.6.2 is the idea 15:52:08 that's very close 15:52:08 the dot story is more vague though, so not quite sure 15:52:15 indeed 15:52:19 krop: your take? 15:52:28 take what ? 15:52:38 krop: kdepim 4.6 release with KDE 4.6.2 ? 15:52:39 on the pim-akonadi release 15:52:46 ah no, I don't take 15:52:57 krop: take == opinion, on when pim will be released? 15:52:59 btw, is it possible to build kdepim46 for plain 11.4? 15:53:09 cb400f: should be, yes 15:53:16 Bille: not many bugfixes lately 15:53:21 they both use up to date kdepimlibs 15:53:37 krop: so no bugs left? ;-) 15:53:38 ok 15:53:41 if something gets released with 4.6.2, it will most likely be a rc 15:53:51 sebas: if only.. 15:53:53 then we should prolly do it.. so people can play with pim46 without having to use KDF 15:53:53 good call I guess 15:54:02 Should I active kdepim46 to build against plain 11.4 ? 15:54:15 volker told me they found and fixed a lot of performance problems in the indexing 15:54:35 and migration bugs are almost all solved now 15:54:40 why not, it's already quite usable and as long as we don't push it into stable automatically and only people who know what they're doing update ... ;) 15:55:19 please warn before putting it into kdf though 15:55:32 yeah 15:55:55 slightly related - are there or will be there KDE and (once it is stable) KDE PIM packages in Tumbleweed? 15:55:59 unless both versions can live happily on the same system, doubt it though 15:56:18 * tittiatcoke just activated kdepim46 build for plain 11.4 including an update to latest kdepim and kdepim-runtime 15:56:27 jospoortvliet: not yet, greg wanted to have the process settle first before tackling such big pulls 15:56:29 sweetness 15:56:36 remur_030: kmail2 migrates kmail1's config once, and then doesn't touch it anymore, so setting-wise they can 15:56:42 just replace packages, done 15:56:52 remur_030: tnx! 15:57:26 remur_030: yes, kdepim 4.4 and 4.6 live together on the system just fine, tested that 15:57:30 including going back to 4.4 15:57:33 no issues 15:57:35 I'm building kdelibs and kde-runtime packages right now, btw. They're from titti's master packages and have the plasma declarative stuff merged 15:57:51 other than a huge folder with 4.6 database stuff, painful on my 30GB drive :D 15:57:53 i.e. more QML fun, as base for the plasma team to work off 15:58:04 that's nice, so it wouldn't be worst case if kdepim2 fails at some important point for people 15:58:14 remur_030: that's the idea 15:58:20 being able to try it, and rollback 15:58:25 mmh we're still on the status reports ? :) 15:59:10 krop: yes 15:59:24 any more status? 15:59:32 remur_030: you're on: 15:59:55 #topic 11.4 marketing rally and announcement 16:00:15 Bille: I would love to know who the clown was that set paste.ubuntu.com as default instead of paste.opensuse.org - seeing some comments about that here and there :d 16:00:18 * small cleanup in the KUP packages. Some were abandoned since ages. I'll update kdevelop, add the new plugins and also massif-visualizer this week end 16:01:01 Bille: it's a bit too late now =) 16:01:08 Bille: counts as a easter egg I guess 16:01:15 jospoortvliet: I believe that this was done upstream 16:01:17 but jos took care of that 16:01:17 jospoortvliet: git blame? 16:01:29 ok 16:01:32 remur_030: Bille you want to work on marketing for the 11.4 release now? ;-) 16:01:41 Bille: tittiatcoke ok... fun... 16:01:46 #topic Going forward with KDE:Unstable:SC (tittiatcoke) 16:01:48 we missed a couple of meetings.. so.. ;-) 16:01:54 jospoortvliet: we skipped quite some meetings so the items weren't updated 16:02:00 remur_030: ok ;-) 16:02:13 i wonder if we can use the OBS status page to warn about outdated stuff in KUP? 16:02:24 remur_030: ah, i see where it came from. 16:03:03 Ok. My favorite topic: KDE:Unstable 16:03:42 Bille: I'd be also interested in outdated stuff in kdf, maybe a red light if the stuff is older then 1 month 16:04:33 so we would have cought pnm not beeing updated for example 16:05:00 in archlinux users can 'flag' packets as outdated, but that makes most sense because of their rolling release way 16:05:19 remur_030: sounds useful for TW 16:06:00 The main item with Unstable is that lately we haven't seen any weekly update there. afaik Unstable:SC was created by dirk to test his weekly tarballs, but we have noticed that a lot more people are using Unstable for testing purposes, etc. The question is now if we want to continue providing a weekly update there or that we leave this up to dirk to decide when to update. 16:06:31 is that because dirk's scripts are stale since the git move? 16:06:32 would be helping if dirk were here I guess 16:07:03 Bille: I don't know. After my changes he indicated that he would adjust the scripts, but that is already 1 month ago. 16:08:04 well, he built 4.6.1 packages, which were done from git 16:08:20 i'll try to talk to him about it tomorrow 16:08:21 so the scripts have to be at least "kind of uptodate" 16:08:24 cool 16:08:34 #action wstephenson talk to dirk about KUSC updating scripts 16:08:41 the move to git introduced two issues. The first one is that some modules are being split out in separate packages. Question here would be if the KDE release team will follow that strategy or that they will follow the approach of 4.6.1 (creating new tarballs ) 16:08:41 unless he did it manually this time 16:08:50 I'm building test packages for plasma-tablet, and for that we need regularly updated unstable packages as well 16:08:59 I know with 4.6.1 he had a lot of issues to recreate the tarballs equal to the 4.6.0 (svn) ones 16:09:17 it's also cool to be able to say "we have a repo with weekly trunk builds" 16:09:19 yeah, 4.6.1 was the disruptive kde release wrt tarball creation 16:09:24 from here on, it's downhill ;) 16:09:33 so Rohan from ubuntu talked to me about Project Neon 16:09:38 they would like to move it to OBS 16:09:38 ah 16:09:43 As that I am building KDE trunk on a daily basis, I have scripts that can be used easily to keep Unstable:SC up-to-date, but I guess this depends on what strategy the release team will follow 16:10:18 (Project Neon makes ubuntu packages from daily git snapshots) 16:10:35 Bille: I guess we also have this :-) 16:10:40 afaics the project keeps running out of gas so they reannounce it every few months 16:10:46 tittiatcoke: in your home? 16:10:51 Bille: Yup. 16:11:21 it would be interesting technically 16:11:28 to build snapshots for all distributions 16:11:39 ubuntu wants to move it to obs?? 16:11:43 I can easily push that to Unstable:SC and we have daily updated packages. The only question would be if we have enough buildpower :-) 16:11:50 is it just amarok? .. or entire SC? 16:12:03 cb400f: In my home ? 16:12:05 but i think that adrianS might come and beat me to death with a 1U rackmount if i started building daily KDE git for 10 distributions, for the load it would cause 16:12:08 neon 16:12:14 tittiatcoke: entirely depends on how often you push 16:12:26 ah, so they are also interested in building the ubuntu packages 16:12:30 Bille: we would be able to handle that via prios ... 16:12:31 sebas: That is why I want to keep Unstable:SC on a weekly basis :-) 16:12:38 weekly should be fine IMO 16:12:45 as long the diskspace would not exceed our limits 16:13:00 cb400f: everything now 16:13:16 maybe stuff like that would make sense on a seperate obs instance? 16:13:27 Bille: We could have a look on expanding Unstable:SC and building it also for other distro's 16:13:40 could be sponsored/hosted by kde e.v.? 16:13:42 they already do the separate prefix stuff lubos wanted to do for 11.4 16:13:50 Bille: I see. 16:13:56 sounds a bit crazy imo :-) .. do developers really need this? or is it just for super-enthusiastic users? 16:14:21 jospoortvliet: asked aaron, the default dataengine chosen is mostly random 16:15:07 cb400f: it's for your worst nightmare kind of version whores 16:15:18 ah, thought so :-) 16:15:28 the other thing that gives me cause for concern is that they don't want any patches 16:15:44 which would remove the 'get our patches tested early' role of KUSC 16:16:24 so i don't know about it yet 16:16:46 i gave the OBS + studio (but studio's bandwidth requirements make it work very badly in india) talk 16:16:52 and they were extremely enthusiastic 16:17:24 i also gave Riddell a personal tutorial, he's packaging ubuntu-disk-creator or something for other distros in OBS 16:17:44 so we can say that the future adoption of ubuntu is dependent on the OBS now :P 16:18:21 lol 16:18:38 tittiatcoke: so. the issues are frequency and package layout 16:19:00 Bille: if you think it would be good for PR if we build KDE GIT for 10 distro's, talk to me about resources - marketing has $$ too you know ;-) 16:19:15 if we can counter project neon that way - awesome... 16:19:42 I might be able to convince my boss it is worth buying additional hardware for :D 16:19:50 I am in 16:19:51 jospoortvliet: i don't think you have the $$ to give KDE a dedicated build server and the bandwidth it would require, do you? 16:20:03 Bille: depends, how expensive is that? 16:20:13 adrianS: ballpark figure? 16:20:21 Bille: isn't OBS powerful enough for that though? /me wonders 16:20:49 cartman: so a complete set of packages in KUSC is what, 150 packages? 16:21:03 times 10 16:21:06 so 10 distros x 2 arches is 3000 extra builds, every day 16:21:13 right 16:21:43 adrianS: can you give me a rough guestimate? that'd be really interesting... 16:21:49 build.opensuse.org does have the power for it, but it would make itself noticed 16:21:54 I see 250 active works atm. :) OBS is flooded! 16:22:19 jospoortvliet: we could share it with the gnomies, after all gcc compiles C really fast, and JS doesn't need compiling, it would just eat IO bandwidth :) 16:22:44 build.opensuse.org does have more marketing value then build.kde.org though I guess ;-) 16:23:37 cartman: yeah, we have 265 workers max atm 16:23:51 anyway, this is titti's topic 16:23:53 and the neon dudes would maintain the packages for all those distros? 16:23:56 * Bille feels bad for stealing it 16:24:15 so what happens when they lose interest again next month 16:24:50 i guess it would attract a lot of other upstream packagers 16:25:07 better promote KUSC than building ubuntu based packages which do the same thing imo 16:25:50 krop: agree 16:25:51 Bille: interesting 16:26:09 well, KUSC is kinda different 16:26:13 tittiatcoke: still there? 16:26:19 Bille: Yup. I am here. 16:26:33 Bille: You got it correctly. 16:26:39 the target users are the same as the neon ones 16:26:53 bleeding edge stuff for developers and crazy users 16:27:04 tittiatcoke: re frequency i'll talk to dirk and see how the scripts are at now 16:27:19 #action wstephenson talk to dirk about KUSC scripts 16:27:24 Bille: Ok. I guess that dirk can also answer the tarball layout for 4.7 16:27:47 i doubt he knows 16:27:58 kde release team and the git transition team might have an idea 16:29:40 isn't dirk part of the kde release team ? 16:30:10 he is 16:30:46 he is, but he's doing the work, not really discussing it 16:30:51 I see. 16:30:55 is here anyone who compiles kde trunk and runs manually 16:30:57 ? 16:31:15 siddharths: meeting.. ask later... 16:31:15 siddharths: yes, but we're in the middle of an irc meeting 16:31:27 * sebas high-fives alin :) 16:31:28 oh after :) 16:31:50 * Bille met siddharths in india, he is an artist and an experienced rpm packager :) 16:32:12 and has a fedora cloak! *cough* 16:32:17 ;-) 16:32:19 Bille stop showing off... 16:32:30 remur_030: ssh, don't let it get out i'm poaching contributors 16:32:53 sebas: you want to ask r-t about future tarball layouts? 16:32:57 Bille: i do little artist stuff but mainly do Plasma C++ contibutor 16:32:58 :) 16:32:58 sebas: tittiatcoke can brief you 16:33:22 * when to start 11.5 stuff (wstephenson,sebas) 16:33:26 #topic when to start 11.5 stuff (wstephenson,sebas) 16:33:38 * siddharths met Bille and its was nice to meet him :) very kind of you 16:33:40 IMO the right time was 2 weeks ago 16:33:41 thought it started already... 16:33:41 so, gotta run, see you later 16:33:44 so we should start right now 16:33:58 i want to organise another meeting for this 16:34:00 Do we know what we want for 11.5 ? 16:34:02 Bille: yeah, we can do that 16:34:03 no 16:34:09 this week good for everyone? 16:34:12 :-) 16:34:28 the old meeting time, Thu 1700UTC? 16:34:38 that's tomorrow 16:34:41 :) 16:34:43 too soon? 16:34:47 Bille: I might not be able to make it. 16:34:58 i'm aware of that, do you really want to make it? 16:35:01 I'm quite stuffed right now, and in high-production mode 16:35:16 I'd prefer to delay it for two weeks actually 16:35:40 or maybe ... won't make much difference 16:35:43 don't listen to me :D 16:35:45 Bille: thnx man :) you opensuse usb worked fine for me thnx for the help 16:35:46 i was about to say that 16:36:02 :> 16:36:16 so how about we do 30 minutes tomorrow at 17UTC and see what we come up with? 16:36:25 sure 16:36:31 i'll announce 16:36:38 can you ping me?
