[Di Apr 15 2008] [18:02:36] kde-sig meeting, start, who's present today? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:03:03] Gerald Cox [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:03:09] present [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:03:11] Present. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:03:23] Topic rdieter_afk setzt das Kanal-Topic auf "KDE SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-04-15 -- Init". [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:03:27] here [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:03:32] than, ltinkl: ping [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:03:41] present [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:04:04] fyi, agenda http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-04-15 [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:04:36] Topic rdieter_afk setzt das Kanal-Topic auf "KDE SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-04-15 -- Preparing for release". [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:04:36] topic 1: Preparing for release [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:04:49] time to rejoice? panic? :) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:05:27] svahl: can you bring everyone up to speed on status of KDE LIve spin/image? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:05:46] sure [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:06:14] First it seems that we will finally have a cd-sized x86_64 image [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:06:20] yay! [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:07:02] That's assuming that the package list won't change anymore: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SebastianVahl/CurrentPackageList [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:07:51] we've discussed yesterday in IRC if we should free some space for missing amarok. But it was a) too late and/or b) not worth the effort (amarok is quite useless on live images) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:08:45] in my daily tests there were no extra bugs for the live images. So they should be ready for release [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:09:16] I think, that's all. :) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:09:32] svahl: thanks. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:09:58] any other release-relevant comments? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:10:53] the colour change in KDM (bug #442312) was tagged by rel-eng [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:10:54] Bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=442312 low, low, ---, Ngo Than, CLOSED NEXTRELEASE, [RFE]: Matching background colour in startkde for waves [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:11:21] svahl: thanks for taking care of that nice detail. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:11:26] let's move on [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:11:42] Topic rdieter_afk setzt das Kanal-Topic auf "KDE SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-04-15 -- FUDCon10, who's going?". [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:11:49] topic 2: FUDCon10, who's going? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:11:57] what's the progress of ltinkl patch for systemsettings (administrator mode, we've discussed it last meeting) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:12:41] I forget, ltinkl, refresh our memory? :) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:12:43] I decided to withhold it until there it's more tested; also someone recently posted a patch to kde-core-devel [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:13:12] the ultimate goal is to use PolicyKit in KDE 4.1 but more about that later [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:13:53] ltinkl: so anything for kde-4.0.x here? or just wait till kde-4.1? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:14:02] systemsettings authors' opinion is that that shouldn't be any root modules and that they were never intended to work that way [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:14:21] But we'd like to have something which works for F9... [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:14:39] We don't have time for testing, F9 is freezing in mere days. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:14:55] well, the long story is that Dirk Mueller started porting the PolicyKit-kde DBUS service to KDE 4 [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:15:09] Kevin_Kofler: anything to address this will have to be a post-release f9 update. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:15:16] so chances are we will have something usable in the near future, implemented the correct way [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:15:52] I'd vote for getting a hack built and tagged f9-final today. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:16:03] The "correct" way can wait. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:16:32] Chances are it won't be usable before 4.1 and that's still months from now. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:16:51] ok, I can do it if others agree too [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:17:45] +1 (you've said last meeting that it don't make things worse) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:17:46] btw the code is in playground/base/PolicyKit-kde [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:18:03] shrug, let's consider it a wishlist item, worth working on if there are no other higher-priority things to do. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:19:53] this is: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434824 correct? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:19:54] Bug 434824: medium, medium, ---, Lukas Tinkl, ASSIGNED , KDE4 System Settings - No Method To Enter Administrative Mode [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:20:00] yup [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:20:32] not having that capability may freak some people out [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:20:35] ltinkl: so, by working on it, would you be helping out with the PolicyKit-kde stuff, or something else? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:21:00] rdieter_afk: I'll talk to dirk and help him if needed [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:21:20] dunno what exactly are his plans [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:21:42] if PolicyKit, then I'd say that it would be more worthwhile, helping contribute to the greater kde good, not just something hacked together for our (fedora's) temporary, short-term benefit. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:22:16] The PolicyKit stuff will take a while. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:22:22] nah [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:22:35] the code is mostly finished, it's just porting to KDE 4 [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:22:36] What I was suggesting is to throw a quick hack into F9 to have something. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:22:48] ie. it existed for KDE 3 and was working [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:23:00] The hard part isn't the daemon, it's actually getting it used. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:23:16] rdieter_afk: PolicyKit is coming for KDE 4.2 [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:23:28] i doubt 4.1 [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:23:38] ltinkl: ok, if you're game to work on this, then I'll defer to you on how best to implement it. :) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:23:53] Basically, we really need a solution for this problem now, not when PolicyKit support will be ready. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:23:59] I know we want PolicyKit in the long term. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:24:02] dirk and fredrikh [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:24:14] rdieter_afk: you can ask fredrikh on IRC he just joined actually :) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:25:01] spstarr_work: where? on #kde-devel ? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:25:08] there and #kde-cafe [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:25:18] Need someway atleast to allow users to change date/time without having to goto konsole [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:26:33] nod, let's move on. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:26:38] IMHO we really need the quick hack. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:26:59] ok, let's commit my hackish workaround and decide what to do next with F10 [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:27:27] ltinkl: thx [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:27:56] next topic: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConF10 [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:28:34] I was starting to make travel plans, was wondering if anyone else would be able to attend. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:30:01] I was also considering inviting some kde celebrity to come, like we did w/ aseigo awhile back. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:30:43] I'll try him again, but since he's mr. superbusy linux/kde4 rockstar now, his plate is likely full. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:31:41] anyone else game for the trip? If $$ is a problem, I'm sure we can try hitting up stickster or possibly kde-ev to help with that. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:32:21] I'd love to go , but i also wanted to go to aKademy 2008, and im going to OLS though [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:33:08] but if i get the new job, i donno if RH would send me to both :) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:33:14] side topic: aKademy 2008, yeah, I'm personally unsure if I'll be able to make it. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:33:41] I'm quite busy with my studies that time, so sorry [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:34:09] fwiw, a soon-future RedHat summit will be in Europe, which should help make it closer for most folks here. :) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:34:43] svahl: no summer off, eh? :) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:34:55] no, not really :) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:35:35] ok, didn't want to take up a lot of time, just wanted to get this into everyone's awareness, let's move on. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:36:09] Topic rdieter_afk setzt das Kanal-Topic auf "KDE SIG Meeting -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2008-04-15 -- recent bugs: missing icons". [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:36:35] just notice we had a lot of "icon missing" type bugs, and would lump 'em together [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:36:43] There's one which is unlike the others: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441062 [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:36:44] Bug 441062: medium, low, ---, Ngo Than, ASSIGNED , packagekit tools do not show icons correctly on KDE [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:36:58] true, [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:37:04] This one needs a patch to the KDE class which generates gtkrc-2.0 [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:37:25] (kdebase/workspace/kcontrol/krdb/krdb.cpp) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:37:36] I could do that [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:37:53] is that something for F9 final or can we release it as an update? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:38:28] ltinkl: f9-final would be nice, if it's easy/simple with minimal risk. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:38:41] else update would be acceptable. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:38:49] I'd say we should get that and the #434824 workaround into the same f9-final build. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:38:58] They're both kdebase-workspace material. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:39:11] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=434824 [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:39:12] Bug 434824: medium, medium, ---, Lukas Tinkl, ON_DEV , KDE4 System Settings - No Method To Enter Administrative Mode [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:39:15] make sense [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:39:19] +s [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:40:08] meanwhile I committed patches for the System Settings bug [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:40:39] the other missing icons are mostly kde-issues, e.g. assuming use of crystalsvg-specific icons and/or apps installing icons into only crystalsvg instead of hicolor [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:41:00] is the comment #35 from #441062 a sufficient fix? can somebody confirm it? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:41:43] I think either way, it shouldn't hurt. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:41:59] But of course, if someone can test it, it's even better. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:42:18] Just beware that that file is generated (by that class in kdebase-workspace), so your changes might not last long. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:44:08] anything else? move on? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:44:33] ofc I'm intending to patch the generator [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:45:03] ltinkl: Of course, I meant for quick testing there. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:45:20] (If you hand-edit for quick testing, it might get lost too soon.) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:48:13] I gotta run real soon, y'all will need to finish up today without me. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:48:29] wife's school/building had a gas-leak today, need to pick her up. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:49:11] I think we pretty much coverred what was on the short agenda for today. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:49:23] Right. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:49:32] bye [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:49:56] Anything else to discuss? Or let's end the meeting here? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:50:56] We maybe have some free megs on the live images for some additional packages (~ 1-3 megs), suggestions? [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:55:17] bluecurve-icon-theme, qt4-theme-quarticurve, quarticurve-kwin-theme? ;-) [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:55:35] hehe been waiting for you to suggest that :D [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:55:52] Oh, and bluecurve-kde-theme too. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:56:09] *g* [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:58:12] On a more serious tone, I'm not sure what to fit in those remaining megs, most of the interesting apps are too big. [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:59:25] yeah, that's true [Di Apr 15 2008] [18:59:57] ok. Then the current package list will be the final one [Di Apr 15 2008] [19:04:12] so end of the meeting?
