So, that leaves, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=kde-4.8&hide_resolved=1 15:23:40 namely, kde-printer-applet, mobipocket, qyoto, kimono, kde-baseapps, kde-runtime, kde-workspace, pykde4 15:23:49 it was great we had a review from ruby guy for ruby stuff 15:23:50 the latter 4 are relatively simple renames 15:24:10 I'll try to do as many reviews tmrw 15:24:26 #action jreznik to help with reviews (as many as possible) 15:26:21 ok, so now the yummy one... 15:26:25 #topic gcc 4.7 build failures 15:27:09 you can find the list in nils'es email 15:27:22 i have not seem any gcc build failture log files yet 15:27:43 Yeah, no build logs, so not very helpful. :-/ 15:28:09 And once again g++ breaks the world, I'm really fed up of g++ upstream's total disregard for backwards compatibility. 15:28:16 They only care about standards, standards, standards. 15:28:17 #link http://rezza.hofyland.cz/fedora/gcc-4.7-ftbfs-all-names-maintainers 15:28:24 I figure we can tackle this as-needed, as long as it's just a matter of missing includes 15:29:10 that's the list of failing packages, but yeah, let's wait for logs... 15:29:35 I don't give a darn whether the code complies to paragraph 3.13.3 (t) (fake paragraph, don't look it up ;-) ) of the ISO C++ standard, if it used to compile, it should keep compiling, darn it! 15:30:38 hopefully core stuff like kdelibs, qtwebkit, qt-mobility will be easy to fix up 15:31:28 #info there are several build failures due to gcc 4.7.0 changes, we have to wait for build logs 15:31:39 it's more head up that we have to take care about it soon 15:34:51 So sad that we have to waste our time because of g++ getting more and more pointlessly pedantic at every single release. :-( 15:37:16 I'll try to fix what I can when we know the details. 15:37:33 ok 15:37:50 I guess I'll let rdieter_work do the easy ones first and then fix what's left. :-) 15:37:51 #topic finishing feature pages 15:38:04 Kevin_Kofler: I'm in for easy ones too :) 15:38:27 feature submission deadline is 24th of january 15:38:53 so I'd like to finish our features asap 15:38:55 My Plasma PackageKit feature is already filed and approved. 15:39:20 Kevin_Kofler: I know, you're the winner :) 15:39:29 so if you can take a look... 15:39:32 #link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/KDE48 15:39:49 I already see - qt 4.8 is released... 15:40:09 and #link http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/PlasmaActive 15:41:06 I'd put completion to more than 20% for 4.8. 15:41:12 And we have 4.7.95 (RC1) now. 15:41:30 The split reviews are also almost all done (only the printer applet is missing). 15:41:44 telepathy not feature? 15:42:04 (and the C# bindings, which were already missing in our 4.7 packaging) 15:42:23 nucleo: will you take care of it? :) 15:42:40 Kevin_Kofler: yep, I have to update it now 15:42:59 Otherwise, KDE48 is all filled in, should be ready for wrangler. 15:43:17 PlasmaActive needs the How To Test, Documentation and Release Notes sections filled in. 15:43:20 yep... more work on PLasma stuff 15:43:33 And the status should probably be more than 10%. 15:43:35 I'll try to finish it tmrw, just wanted some feedback 15:43:37 now a big mess there because they will rename kde-telepathy* to ktp http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-telepathy/2011-December/004681.html 15:43:57 What really needs to be done is instructions how the heck to enable this thing, which will then go into How To Test. 15:44:11 Kevin_Kofler: not sure about status - we don't have it even working yet (still missing share like connect stuff I think) 15:44:21 The link to the upstream web site should be moved from Detailed Description to Documentation, that way it won't be empty. 15:44:30 ok 15:44:31 I will add/edit some KDE48 features (Solid, PM, NM stuff) 15:44:33 good idea 15:44:40 ltinkl: thanks 15:44:49 Release Notes needs some blurb on how great it is that we support tablets and smartphones now. 15:45:06 (and also how to enable it) 15:45:44 The sooner we get this thing actually running, the better, it'll also help complete the missing sections. 15:45:51 ah marketing crap, we're not good in that stuff... 15:46:02 For Telepathy, I think that's probably for F18… 15:46:11 Kevin_Kofler: one of the task for FAD - to finish Active 15:46:13 ok 15:46:25 nucleo: we'll have see if telepathy-0.3 gets released in time for us to grok it, and consider as an advertisable feature. (odds are, Kevin_Kofler's right, it's getting late) 15:46:46 jreznik: Yeah, but the problem is, the FAD is after the feature submission deadline and feature freeze for F17. 15:47:02 So if it doesn't work at all before the FAD, it probably needs to be postponed to F18. 15:47:21 It'd be nice to have Plasma Active working in F17 though. 15:47:27 Kevin_Kofler: is feature freeze such a strong deadline for us? as nothing depends on active but yes, I'd like to have much more 15:48:12 #action ltinkl to extend 4.8 feature page 15:48:24 For the feature page, we need a late feature exception if we can't get it done by the deadline. 15:48:26 I vaguely recall there being several active-related pkg reviews left? is that still so? 15:48:27 #action jreznik to update it and send to wrangler 15:48:44 So we should at least have an idea of how one will enable Active by the feature submission deadline. 15:48:47 rdieter_work: still the build failure... 15:48:51 It's needed for both How to Test and Release Notes. 15:48:52 Kevin_Kofler: +1 15:49:14 ok, I see 2 that passed review, but review bug still open. 15:49:16 maybe Kevin_Kofler could help here with his gcc and linking expertise :) 15:49:32 * jreznik should take care more about closing review bugs... 15:49:44 Any log links for the failures? I can have a look. 15:49:58 Kevin_Kofler: try to look for logs 15:51:45 * ltinkl has another meeting topic 15:51:55 ltinkl: go on 15:52:17 have we decided yet what to do with kdelibs 4.7 "reloaded"? 15:52:27 do a formal release, "respin" tarball? 15:52:46 I'd say the number of commits and fixes in 4.7 15:53:00 I think the sanest would be to take 4.7.95 and patch it to say 4.7.4 instead. 15:53:02 branch would justify an update 15:53:15 kdelibs 4.7.95 was actually spun from the 4.7 branch. 15:53:27 There's now a 4.8 branch which was copied from 4.7 after 4.7.95. 15:53:38 I know, 4.8 kdelibs branch was branched from 4.7 15:54:00 If the kernel team can cheat with the versions, why can't we? :-) 15:54:05 sure :) 15:54:37 should I take care of it? 15:54:48 what F versions will be affected? 15:55:06 16 only 15:55:09 ok 15:55:25 15 kde47 repo too, I guess, but that's something for rdieter_work to look up. 15:55:38 The official F15 has 4.6.5. 15:56:07 #action ltinkl to take care of updating kdelibs in F16 (4.7.95 aka 4.7.4 respin) 15:56:36 * rdieter_work would prefer to wait, and consider doing a formal kde-4.8.x update for f16 later 15:57:04 and if that is not possible, for whatever reason, then revisit this 15:57:31 are we allowed to do a major update in F16? 15:57:42 all the policies are confusing 15:57:46 I think having kdelibs updated in the meantime can't hurt. 15:57:52 that, too 15:57:59 little work 15:58:15 but, given all the pkg renames, and new splits, there is a wee-bit of disruption for existing f16 users, true 15:58:42 The kdelibs update is a replacement for the 4.7.5 release upstream is too lazy to do. 15:59:08 Interim between 4.7.4 and 4.8.0. 15:59:35 * jreznik is silently screaming... 15:59:36 How we will offer 4.8 is another discussion, I'd vote for official update, this time there shouldn't be a big blocker like kdepim 4.7 was. 15:59:49 sorry I dropped the ball there, I generally agreed with that kde release-team decision at the time, should've brought it back here for discussion back then 16:00:19 we are nearly out of time guys... 16:00:41 it's worth trying I suppose 16:01:12 +1 16:01:19 Kevin_Kofler: that blocker still remains, although it's less of a problem now :) 16:01:30 F16 already shipped with kdepim 4.7. 16:01:39 I know but it's still suboptimal 16:01:40 4.7 → 4.8 shouldn't be that big of a mess, I hope. :-) 16:01:55 (crossing fingers) 16:02:01 don't think so due to another splits... but could be possible 16:03:15 fwiw, I filed a few items that I considered blockers against https://bugzilla.redhat.com/showdependencytree.cgi?id=kde-4.8&hide_resolved=1 16:03:43 I've seen that. I hope we can get these fixed. 16:04:33 ok, let's finish it now - we can talk about it during the week, I have to leave :) 16:04:39 ok 16:04:42 thanks, good meeting :) 16:04:52 #endmeeting
