15:09:30 I can give status report on recent bodhi updates 15:09:39 +1 15:09:42 yep, the status/followup after last week's discussion 15:11:36 anything else? 15:12:04 present 15:12:44 #info than present 15:12:47 #chair than 15:12:47 Current chairs: Kevin_Kofler jgrulich jreznik pino|work rdieter than tosky 15:12:49 hi 15:12:53 ok, let's get started 15:12:59 #topic recent bodhi updates 15:12:59 I can give a status update on QtWebEngine 5.8.0 (but it will be short). 15:13:05 Kevin_Kofler: ok 15:13:33 so kf5-5.31.0/plasma-5.8.6/kde-apps-16.12.2 rollout to f25 went pretty well I think 15:13:52 f24 was a little bumpy :-/ 15:14:07 * pino|work confirms no issues so far on f25 15:14:11 I'd queue'd kf5-5.31 , plasma-5.8.6 late last week for f24 stable updates 15:14:31 but plasma-5.8.6 ended up getting rejected due to some bodhi bug/inconsistency 15:15:01 it eventually got fixed and pushed out yesterday, but anyone updating in between got a broken plasmashell :( 15:16:13 in addition, f24's gpgme/kdepim-16.12.2 update missed 2 packages: kdepim4 kdepim(metapackage), both of which could hold back a successful upgrade, these 2 have been built and queue'd for updates-testing now 15:16:18 can we try to write a short how to for users how to update to the correct version from shell via dnf? and send it to fedora-kde list and internetz? 15:16:55 for us, it's easy fix but for regular users this could be pretty difficult to get it fixed if they got stuck with blank screen 15:16:55 jreznik: as far as plasma is concerned, only a usual update (to plasma-5.8.6) is required 'dnf update' 15:17:26 but I can see how that could be intimidating or anyone who's not used dnf by hand before 15:17:31 rdieter: yes but you have to know how to do it (I guess not everyone knows how to run dnf update from command line) 15:17:34 s/or/for/ 15:17:45 just a short how to 15:18:07 good idea, anyone able/willing to do that ? 15:19:27 I'll do it but I'm travelling today/tomorrow, so my availability will be limited :( 15:19:29 oh, about F25, I had to create two symlinks, or kwin did not start 15:19:40 but I could not try on a fresh user, I was in a rush 15:19:53 tosky: that's... interesting, what links to you make? 15:20:15 under /usr/share/kservicetypes5/ 15:20:24 ln -s kwineffect.desktop kwin-effect.desktop 15:20:28 ln -s kwinscript.desktop kwin-script.desktop 15:20:37 kwin complained that the files were missing 15:20:41 maybe something in the cache 15:20:56 tosky: using kwin-5.8 or kwin-5.9 ? 15:21:00 5.8 15:21:08 this is F25, update to 5.8.6/5.31 15:21:12 that's an interesting wtf 15:21:12 this did not happen in a less used VM that I upgraded for test 15:21:33 it seems no one else hit this, of all possible issues, so definitely less priority 15:21:46 and I should take some time to try again (there were some pending reboots too) 15:21:57 I mean, reboot of the entire system iirc 15:22:05 just in case someone complains about this 15:22:12 ok, thanks. noted 15:22:36 personally, I used plasma-5.8.6 only a short time before jumping on the 5.9.3 train 15:23:38 5.8.6 just works here. 15:23:49 F25 with stable updates, on a desktop and a notebook. 15:23:59 anyway, as it stands wrt updates, kf5-5.31, plasma-5.8.6, and kde-apps-16.12.2 are in f25/f24 stable updates. kf5-5.31 for epel7 is still in -testing 15:24:22 I haven't tried 5.9 yet, as it's still not in updates. 15:24:30 I started work on kf5-5.32.0 yesterday, and kde-apps-16.12.3 became available to packagers today 15:24:49 a note about Frameworks 5.32, I send an email to kde-distro-packagers: kdoctools finally provides a proper shared library 15:25:06 it should not be a problem for most people (I suspect I broke crosscompilation but no one complained so far) 15:25:06 right, as far as plasma-5.9 goes, it's only available in copr, one place: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/kdesig/plasma-5-unstable/ 15:26:32 mkyral has a copr too (there should only be minor differences) 15:27:12 * jreznik_ has to leave now 15:27:44 anything else on recent updates? 15:28:47 #topic QtWebEngine 5.8 15:28:53 Kevin_Kofler: ok, yours 15:29:25 OK 15:29:37 So I got QtWebEngine 5.8 to build in my Copr. 15:30:00 Patches and FFmpeg cleanup scripts rebased, GCC 7 FTBFS fixed, bundled library versions updated. 15:30:20 \o/ yay 15:30:30 (What I haven't done yet is scan the build.log for new or newly-enabled bundled libraries, at least the Chromium hunspell fork is now enabled, maybe more stuff.) 15:30:51 lupinix submitted a build to the @kdesig/qt-5.8 Copr, it should be done in an hour or so. 15:31:00 (It's been running for 4 hours, needs ~5 hours.) 15:31:03 hi 15:31:17 #info lupinix present 15:31:18 hi 15:31:20 sorry, forgot meeting time 15:31:28 #chair lupinix 15:31:28 Current chairs: Kevin_Kofler jgrulich jreznik lupinix pino|work rdieter than tosky 15:31:52 so, does that mean we're ready/close to import Qt 5.8 into rawhide ? 15:32:02 What I would like to look into is to patch the code to use the system hunspell dictionaries and if possible also the system hunspell library, but it is non-trivial, Google patched it heavily to support their nonstandard dictionary format. :-( 15:32:25 But I don't think that should be a blocker. 5.7 had no spellchecking at all, with any dictionary format. 15:32:38 Kevin_Kofler: yeah, I wouldn't worry too much about that, unless you have copious amounts of free time 15:32:58 And as I said, trying to fix it is not trivial and I'm not sure when (or even if) I'll get around to it. 15:34:12 Kevin_Kofler: thanks for working on that 15:35:05 And changing the dictionary stuff might also need adjustments in client apps such as QupZilla, because I have seen code out there poking around in the QtWebEngine dictionary directories to enumerate the available dictionaries (ewww!). 15:35:05 is that all? move on? 15:36:32 #topic open discussion 15:37:06 I guess now that we have plasma-5.9 copr, and some initial good feedback... thoughts on bringing plasma-5.9.x to f25 ? 15:37:47 +1 for Plasma 5.9.x in f25 15:37:51 +1 15:38:13 works fine here on 4 machines, two with multi screen setup 15:40:40 yeah, probably worth the change, F25 is still fairly new 15:41:58 ok, i've got kf5-5.32 and kde-apps-16.12.3 to do first, then I can do that next. anyone who wants to work on it earlier, is free to do so :) 15:43:46 woo, I'll probably jinx it, but f25/f24/epel kf5-5.32.0 chain-builds are grinding away without error so far 15:43:59 For Qt 5.8, please let me know when you import it into Rawhide so that I can take care of qt5-qtwebengine-freeworld in RPM Fusion. 15:44:23 Kevin_Kofler: I doubt rpmfusion will have branched for f26 yet anyway 15:44:29 in our case, rawhide = f27 15:46:39 anything else to discuss today? 15:47:17 not from my side 15:49:29 ok, thanks everyone! 15:49:31 #endmeeting
