The problem is that there are not much options for package removals. 14:10:19 734 MiB for 32 bits, 736 MiB for 64 bits. 14:10:35 I've noticed some gtk3 stuff is still being dragged in even after the GNOME 3 reversion. 14:10:39 ouchie, wasn't than going to look at that? wonder if he came up with anything. 14:10:40 This is a comparison between the (already stripped down) F13 final image and the nightly spin from yesterday 14:10:43 Retrieving http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/14/x86_64/os/Packages/gtk3-2.90.5-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm ...OK 14:10:43 Retrieving http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/14/x86_64/os/Packages/gtk3-immodule-xim-2.90.5-1.fc14.x86_64.rpm ...OK 14:10:49 Retrieving http://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/development/14/x86_64/os/Packages/libcanberra-gtk3-0.25-2.fc14.x86_64.rpm ...OK 14:10:50 # 14:11:01 http://fpaste.org/3Ew5/ 14:11:07 Can you please figure out what's dragging these in and get them fixed? 14:11:31 anaconda maybe 14:11:37 Uh, no. 14:11:40 Anaconda is PyGTK. 14:11:46 That hasn't even been ported to gtk3 yet. 14:12:41 I can dl the iso after meeting and try it out, and see 14:13:00 mhh. metacity -> libcanberra-gtk2 -> libcanberra-gtk3 14:13:10 So libcanberra is the culprit. 14:13:20 That upgrade path dependency needs to go away for F14. 14:13:32 It makes sense in F15 with GNOME 3, but not in F14. 14:13:43 fun, what pulls in metacity anymore? (ah, firstboot) 14:14:19 firstboot always fun... 14:14:36 Who's taking care of the libcanberra issue? 14:14:51 libcanberra-gtk2 should not require libcanberra-gtk3 in F14. 14:15:21 Kevin_Kofler: I can 14:15:32 I think it might be some shared files which would have otherwise conflicted 14:15:47 so moving those shared files to libcanberra-gtk2 and reversing the dep would fix it 14:16:05 or having some sort of libcanbarra-common, whatever. 14:16:11 #action rdieter to get libcanberra fixed so -gtk2 doesn't depend on -gtk3 14:16:28 kalev: I think it's for upgrade path, so people get -gtk3 pulled in on updates. 14:16:33 But we don't want that before F15. 14:17:58 * rdieter sees tcl as something worth kicking out, if possible 14:18:07 Some other possible size savings: zap some more fonts (the Latin and Arabic scripts probably both have more fonts than necessary). 14:18:17 And maybe use kdeutils-minimal. 14:18:22 (instead of the full kdeutils) 14:18:25 rdieter: kdeaccessibility -> speech-dispatcher -> tcl 14:18:36 Oh, kick out kdeaccessibility too. 14:18:41 Why are we even still shipping that? 14:18:52 It drags in the whole TTS infrastructure, wastes a lot of space. 14:18:55 And so far, doesn't even work. 14:19:00 (though that's being slowly sorted out) 14:19:18 it'd be a shame, but you have a point there. 14:19:22 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=569531 14:19:39 (please, please, please, can we reconsider bigger images for f15? :) ) 14:19:54 btw: full package list of yesterday's nghtly: http://fpaste.org/RNyE/ 14:19:59 I think festival etc. would all go away by removing kdeaccessibility. 14:20:10 Kevin_Kofler: yeah 14:20:13 svahl: thanks! 14:20:34 bigger images!!! 14:20:51 svahl: Can you try how much space we save by omitting kdeaccessibility (+ deps)? 14:21:00 Kevin_Kofler: yes, kdeaccessibility does not work and probably drags too much... it's shame it doesn't work but... 14:21:09 Kevin_Kofler: sure, after the meeting (or this evening) 14:21:28 #action svahl to try omitting kdeaccessibility (+deps) and checking the saved space 14:21:46 if we really remove it we should explain that step in the release notes 14:22:11 svahl: nod, file a bug documenting the removal, and mark the release notes flag 14:22:23 ok 14:22:37 #action svahl to file a bug documenting the removal, and mark the release notes flag (kdeaccessibility) 14:23:02 But only if it actually helps for the size issues (but I think it will, kdeaccessibility is dragging in a lot of stuff). 14:23:08 sure :) 14:24:28 For posterity, +1 bigger images 14:25:11 Bigger images are going to make some people unhappy. 14:25:18 There are still folks using CD-Rs. 14:25:36 USB-Sticks ftw :) 14:25:37 Also, folks are using 1 GiB USB sticks and want to have room left for an overlay. 14:25:58 If you make the image 1 GiB, there's no room for an overlay on a 1 GiB stick. 14:25:58 standard reply, we can continue to provide a kickstart that fits on a cd, it just will no longer be our primary/official one 14:26:21 +1 14:27:23 The CD should be very basic anyways, just to see how fedora kde looks like. not to provide anything that you can fully work with it. 14:27:24 rdieter: yes, I like it 14:27:31 Well, when the GNOME folks wanted to make their F13 image larger, there was a lot of backlash. 14:27:37 And they ended up reverting to CD size. 14:28:00 CD size is important for eastern countries... 14:28:13 If we want to have ANY chance to get pressed media released at ANY events, we'll need to target CD size. 14:28:13 we'll likely see some too, but having a barely functional official cd image isn't apppealing either. 14:28:40 There was unwillingness to master even GNOME DVDs, now imagine KDE ones. :-/ 14:29:10 shrug, we can discuss the pros/cons later I guess (unless there's nothing else for today?) 14:29:29 Hand-burning media like I did for Linuxwochen Wien is also more expensive with DVDs. 14:29:52 (But that's not an effective way to spread Fedora KDE anyway, to be frank.) 14:30:12 I'm not sure it's even possible to buy CD-R here :) (I don't use DVD-R anymore too) 14:30:34 ok, let's skip it - it needs consensus over the all spins 14:30:48 #topic packages orphaned by Ben Boeckel 14:31:27 I took ownership of most of the packages 14:31:45 rnovacek: thanks! 14:31:58 if anyone would like to comaintain, just ask 14:32:02 jreznik: You can buy some CD-Rs in Vienna for sure. :-) 14:32:03 #link http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/fedora-kde/msg07946.html 14:32:22 We even have the 800 MB ones in some places (but those are not very standard, so probably not a good size target). 14:33:04 * Kevin_Kofler is signing up for comaintainership for the k* packages orphaned by mathstuf. 14:33:15 Kevin_Kofler: yes, probably it's still possible to buy it here, all CD-R and DVD-R are quite cheap here (not like in Spain where my brother lives) 14:33:19 qca2 seems already well taken care of (1 new primary maintainer, 3 comaintainers). 14:33:23 And bilbo is obsolete. 14:33:48 jreznik: Yeah, chances are they're cheaper in Brno than Vienna. 14:35:13 #info rnovacek took ownership of mathstuf's packages 14:35:32 anything else to the topic? 14:36:11 kde-plasma-networkmanagement is now owned by rdieter (who was already comaintainer), I was also already comaintainer and still am. 14:36:47 qca2 is now owned by Sven Lankes (slankes / killefiz). 14:38:16 #info qca2 is now owned by Sven Lankes (slankes / killefiz). 14:38:33 #info kde-plasma-networkmanagement is now owned by rdieter 14:39:17 #topic FUDCon EMEA 14:39:58 FUDCon starts this Friday 14:40:07 in Zurich, anyone there? 14:40:16 * jsmith will be there 14:40:24 Anybody else? 14:40:34 No money, no time 14:40:37 :) 14:41:04 qca2 should be renamed to qca 14:41:06 ltinkl is not going as his wife is sick -> no kde talk... but maybe we prepare one tomorrow with marcela 14:41:12 .bug 512000 14:41:14 nucleo: Bug 512000 rename this package to qca2-ossl - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512000 14:41:58 #topic Bug 512000 14:43:47 For the suggestion of retiring the Qt 3 qca, are we sure it's not used anymore? 14:44:05 I'm opposed to retiring libraries which are still used by stuff. 14:46:43 Uhm, do we have any plan on how to proceed? 14:46:51 Or do we just close the bug as WONTFIX or something? 14:47:04 (NOTABUG maybe?) 14:48:30 I prefer WONTFIX 14:49:13 rdieter: Any comments on how to proceed here? 14:49:37 on the other hand it would make me sad to see a new package that depends on qt3/qca 14:49:55 who's maintaining it now? 14:50:14 Actually I think there's no qca in the repos anymore for F13. 14:50:27 At least repoquery finds nothing. 14:50:33 I maintaining qca2-ossl 14:50:36 So all that's needed is renaming qca2 to qca. 14:50:47 Kevin_Kofler: really no qca? 14:50:55 *qca-ossl 14:50:59 yeah think so, the naming should be consistent 14:51:21 jreznik: repoquery qca is empty and repoquery qca\* only returns qca2 stuff. 14:51:36 qca-gnupg and qca-ossl are both named qca-, but the main package is qca2. 14:51:50 So the main package should be renamed. 14:52:10 it's really confusing 14:52:16 I don't think we'll want to resurrect the Qt 3 QCA at this stage, and if somebody really wants it, they should call it qca1. 14:52:22 once we don't have qca, rename is reasonable 14:52:33 Nothing in Fedora seems to require qca 1 or we'd have broken deps already. 14:52:35 Kevin_Kofler: no, it's should sleep (forever) 14:52:59 nucleo: which way would you prefer? 14:53:47 Note that if we go with qca2 naming, qca-gnupg would also need renaming. 14:54:08 I think calling it just qca fits better with our naming scheme. 14:54:12 one way to rename qca2 to but qca second is rename qca-ossl to qca2-ossl and qca-gnupg to qca2-gnupg 14:54:21 may be firs way more simple 14:54:28 nod, I think I'd prefer qca2 -> qca at this piont 14:54:30 point 14:54:31 *first 14:54:47 So we agree on renaming qca2(-devel) to qca(-devel)? Any objections? 14:55:24 .whoowns qca2 14:55:24 rdieter: slankes 14:55:44 Yeah, he just picked it up from mathstuf. 14:55:53 killefiz: Ping? 14:55:54 we should consult the maintainer too, before deciding anything, ok. 14:55:59 yes 14:56:30 I'll ask for it in the aforementioned bug 14:56:46 rdieter: Sven isn't CCed to it yet. 14:58:12 I reassigned it to qca2 14:58:21 #action rdieter to contact slankes/killefiz about renaming qca2 to qca (which appears to be the preferred solution) 14:58:27 .bug 512000 14:58:29 rdieter: Bug 512000 rename qca-ossl -> qca2-ossl (or rename qca2 -> qca) - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=512000 14:58:32 (and adjusted summary) 14:58:46 rdieter: OK, thanks. 15:00:32 ok, time... thanks all 15:00:38 #endmeeting
