I guess we should have a plan for how to handle that 15:19:37 <rdieter> or... punt... wait till after this week, and focus efforts on f20 stabilization/testing 15:19:38 <than> rdieter: 4.12 for f21 15:20:16 <than> but it still has time for f21 15:20:33 <rdieter> agreed, i figured it being for rawhide/f21 was a given. :) 15:20:56 <rdieter> doesn't hurt to explicitly say so 15:21:32 <rdieter> in general, keep an eye out for any new dependencies, so we can get those packaged/reviewed asap 15:21:46 <Kevin_Kofler> Of course 4.12 won't be for F20 right now. 15:21:46 <Kevin_Kofler> It's still in beta. 15:21:46 <Kevin_Kofler> But of course, users will appreciate getting it for F19 and F20 through kde-unstable. :-) 15:22:06 <Kevin_Kofler> (hint hint ;-) ) 15:22:09 <Kevin_Kofler> That said, with all our slipping, we're now fairly aligned to 4.12's schedule… 15:22:09 <Kevin_Kofler> So we may end up releasing with 4.11 after 4.12 is released. :-( 15:22:13 <Kevin_Kofler> But rushing 4.12 in now? Bad plan IMHO… 15:23:22 <jreznik> yep 15:23:26 <than> Kevin_Kofler: i think it's better we should take time to make f20 stable 15:23:27 <Kevin_Kofler> I do guess we'll probably release F20 before upstream releases 4.12 anyway. 15:23:59 <Kevin_Kofler> We're in "beta" which would be "RC" in KDE terms, KDE's "beta" is like our "alpha". 15:24:12 <jreznik> for schedule, it depends, we would have to use some magic to avoid christmas but even we would have to (in the worst, worst) scenario skip christmas, it would be too late 15:24:23 <rdieter> with 4.12 we may end up having to fix some packaging, version assumptions since kde-workspace is LTS on 4.11 15:24:51 <Kevin_Kofler> jreznik: What's wrong with releasing F20 on Dec 24 or 25 as a Christmas present? :-) 15:25:23 <rdieter> Kevin_Kofler: mirror admins would *love* that 15:25:35 <rdieter> for various definitions of love 15:25:40 <Kevin_Kofler> ^^ 15:25:49 <Kevin_Kofler> Users would genuinely love it though. 15:25:52 <jreznik> Kevin_Kofler: well, well :) 15:26:10 <Kevin_Kofler> Especially users in Europe who'd have up to 2 weeks of free time to install it. 15:27:06 <Kevin_Kofler> But of course the mirror admins here would hate it all the more. 15:29:26 <Kevin_Kofler> <rdieter> with 4.12 we may end up having to fix some packaging, version assumptions since kde-workspace is LTS on 4.11 15:29:41 <Kevin_Kofler> kde-workspace-4.12.0-1.really4.11.6.fc21? ;-) 15:29:52 <Kevin_Kofler> (a.k.a. the Ubuntu version hack ^^) 15:31:06 <rdieter> let's wait and see.. I don't think we have that many versioned deps on kde-workspace stuff 15:31:19 <Kevin_Kofler> Of course, that'd be a blatant violation of our versioning guidelines. 15:31:41 <rdieter> nod, hopefully we can avoid resorting to such hacks 15:32:35 <Kevin_Kofler> I don't understand why upstream didn't treat it the same way as kdelibs (just continue the versioning scheme with frozen master). 15:33:12 <Kevin_Kofler> (or even branch KDE/4.12 from KDE/4.11, which is how kdelibs was initially handled back in SVN land) 15:33:42 * rdieter doesn't know the implementation details yet 15:33:55 <Kevin_Kofler> (That way they could develop the next version in master and still have a 4.12 branch.) 15:33:58 <rdieter> but we should be thinking about options to handle each contingency 15:34:15 <Kevin_Kofler> I think they rejected it for purely political reasons, to force us to get used to different versioning schemes from component to component. 15:34:33 <Kevin_Kofler> At least that's the messaging I got from the blog posts. 15:34:55 <Kevin_Kofler> That we should get used to the version numbers no longer being in sync because that will be the case all over the place with that KF5 mess. 15:35:59 <rdieter> I think that topic is about done... :) 15:36:02 <rdieter> #topic open discussion 15:36:06 <rdieter> anything else for today? 15:36:34 <rdieter> just fyi for posterity, I'm working on phonon-4.7.0 (and backend) packaging and adding Qt5 support 15:36:42 <mbriza> just letting you know i finally fixed the pam stuff around sddm... autologin, everything 15:36:48 <rdieter> mbriza: woo! 15:37:04 <Kevin_Kofler> All great news! 15:37:18 <mbriza> it's hacky as hell but i'll commit it anyway... David Edmundson wants to use parts of my work to build a kcheckpass substitute library 15:38:01 <mbriza> so that will be the clean version that will get upstream 15:41:23 <rdieter> wrt phonon, after some discussion earlier in #fedora-kde, decided to use phonon-qt5 prefix (for Qt5) stuff, rather than other options like phonon4qt5 or qt5-phonon 15:42:21 <rdieter> sounds like the phonon 4.6 branch is closed now, so we probably want to seriously consider phonon-4.7 stuff for f20 sooner rather than later 15:42:32 <Kevin_Kofler> Yeah. 15:42:51 <rdieter> assuming dvratil is ok with that idea 15:43:56 <Kevin_Kofler> One thing to discuss is whether we really want to ship phonon-vlc with highest priority. I think we'll want to decrease it to the old value… 15:44:18 <Kevin_Kofler> I don't like the idea of the backend from RPM Fusion making itself the default over the Fedora one. 15:44:19 <rdieter> yeah, I'm a bit torn on that 15:44:35 <rdieter> probably will opt to lower vlc priority 15:44:53 <rdieter> otoh, users are already opting-in to use it merely by installing it 15:46:18 <rdieter> can discuss that later 15:47:03 * rdieter will close meeting 2 min if there are no new topics to discuss 15:48:01 <Kevin_Kofler> I don't think there's any update on GStreamer 1.0 porting, is there? 15:48:27 <Kevin_Kofler> (Phonon-GStreamer and QtGStreamer both badly need to get ported, GStreamer 0.10 is a dead branch now.) 15:48:55 <d_ed> I have no idea why I'm lurking in this meeting, but QtGstreamer has had some activity recently. 15:49:13 <d_ed> Not in the main repo, but a new developer has picked things up in their own repo. 15:49:22 <rdieter> yay 15:50:08 <Kevin_Kofler> d_ed: Related to GStreamer 1.0? I know there has been a Qt 5 port and some other changes, but nothing for GStreamer 1.0 last I checked… 15:50:28 <rdieter> yes 15:50:46 <rdieter> (or at least so I heard too) 15:50:55 <d_ed> https://github.com/detrout/qt-gstreamer 15:50:55 <Kevin_Kofler> For Phonon, there's a branch with a GStreamer 1.0 port, but it isn't working yet, at least with Amarok. 15:52:03 <Kevin_Kofler> d_ed: Thanks, that's good news. 15:52:41 * rdieter resets 2 min clock 15:53:59 <Kevin_Kofler> Looks like dvratil managed to fix the Amarok issue! 15:54:03 <Kevin_Kofler> https://projects.kde.org/projects/kdesupport/phonon/phonon-gstreamer/repository/revisions/61a1fd8babb913be638fdf9a4f9fcb7b9454e61e 15:54:09 <Kevin_Kofler> https://projects.kde.org/projects/kdesupport/phonon/phonon-gstreamer/repository/show?rev=1.0-porting-for-merge 15:54:34 <Kevin_Kofler> Thanks dvratil! :-) 15:54:54 <Kevin_Kofler> So things are looking good, we may be able to ship all GStreamer 1.0 stuff in F21. 15:56:56 <rdieter> let's wrap up, now we're out of time. :) thanks everyone! 15:56:59 <rdieter> #endmeeting
