(i think about k3b mostly) 15:10:14 <RaphGro> k3b is useful, why do you think it's not needed? 15:10:29 <rdieter> agenda only for now, can actually discuss later 15:10:39 <RaphGro> ok 15:10:41 <rdieter> lupinix: can add that to f26 topic 15:10:46 <lupinix> ok 15:11:12 <rdieter> I can give an update on Qt 5.8 status, apper 15:11:50 <rdieter> anything else? 15:11:59 <lupinix> nothing else here 15:12:20 <rdieter> #topic f26 (alpha, theming, default apps, etc...) 15:12:46 <rdieter> fyi, new f26-backgrounds landed (kinda late... as usual), and kde spin needs minor changes to use that by default 15:13:26 <rdieter> .bug 1435423 15:13:26 <zodbot> rdieter: Bug 1435423 – Need to fix wallpaper / background packaging situation - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1435423 15:13:27 <rdieter> see also ^^ 15:14:14 <rdieter> not sure if wallpaper is considered an alpha blocker or not (guessing not) 15:14:30 <rdieter> but I can probably work on that sooner or later 15:15:00 <rdieter> lupinix: you wanted to disucss apps to include (by default)? 15:15:09 <rdieter> in particular, k3b. 15:15:10 <lupinix> yes 15:16:19 <lupinix> in case of k3b: more and more computers don't have optical drives, k3b pulls in some stuff like wodim. we may get a lighter default install 15:16:36 * rdieter checks, k3b has an installed-size footprint of ~30mb (itself, not including dependencies) 15:17:06 <rdieter> lupinix: k3b is useful beyond burning optical media too, mind you 15:17:14 <tosky> that's going to change a bit as the next version is Frameworks-based, but not too relevant in this case 15:17:16 <lupinix> yes of course 15:17:17 <rdieter> can also be used to create .iso images 15:18:04 <lupinix> question is: do we want to have a full-featured default or a default providing the commonly used apps 15:18:17 <lupinix> (i'm not sure about that one) 15:18:41 <rdieter> lupinix: did you have any other examples of things to consider removing? 15:18:58 <lupinix> browsers, we have 3 now if we count konqueror 15:18:59 <rdieter> otherwise, the broader discussion is probably not worth it 15:19:11 <rdieter> ah, we can definitely omit konqueror now 15:19:23 <rdieter> at least consider it 15:20:10 <lupinix> *imho* one is enough (and i'm not asking the question here which one it should be, different point) 15:20:16 <rdieter> I think it (still) makes sense to keep primary browser (firefox) + tech-preview (qupzilla) 15:20:48 <lupinix> well, qupzilla is not tech-preview anymore, it is stable 15:20:53 <rdieter> though we could make the tech-preview spin-only (not sure if that's the case yet or not) 15:21:24 <rdieter> lupinix: tech-preview in the sense that it's a candidate worthy of future consideration of default browser too 15:21:47 <lupinix> ok 15:21:58 <rdieter> anyone else want to speak in for/against k3b, konqueror inclusion? 15:22:20 <Southern_Gentlem> rdieter, this is just in the spin correct? 15:22:22 <rdieter> (else, I'll consider silence as support for status quo mostly) 15:22:40 <jgrulich> +1 for including k3b, not that I use it, but we need dvd/usb anyway for our spin so size doesn't matter that much 15:22:45 <rdieter> Southern_Gentlem: probably also affects folks who install "kde desktop environment" afterward 15:22:55 <lupinix> jgrulich: why do we need that? 15:23:10 <lupinix> ok, misread 15:23:11 <Southern_Gentlem> lupinix, dvd are not DEAD yet 15:23:21 <jreznik> DEAD :) 15:23:28 <pino|work> -_-' 15:23:40 <rdieter> only mostly dead (princess bride plug) 15:23:41 <jgrulich> lupinix: I mean that our users will have to use dvd or usb for our spin anyway, we don't need to fit to cd anymore so not a real problem 15:23:52 <lupinix> Southern_Gentlem: i never said that, but it is less important nowadays in many countries and it is easy to install 15:23:55 <pino|work> rdieter: "the walking dead" 15:24:13 <jgrulich> and +1 for removing konqueror, I think right now nobody uses it anyway when we have firefox/qupzilla 15:24:15 <lupinix> jgrulich: i'm not focusing on cd size, that is impossible nowayds with any desktop 15:24:30 <Southern_Gentlem> lupinix, but for those poorer countries it is still a need 15:24:30 <lupinix> i'm just thinking about a smaller footprint in general 15:24:44 <rdieter> lupinix has a point, we shouldn't gratuitously bloat things either 15:25:01 <rdieter> and keep things as slim as reasonably possible 15:25:19 <lupinix> Southern_Gentlem: it is just a point if default, k3b will be availbe as package anyway 15:25:47 <lupinix> s/if/of 15:26:02 * rdieter double-checks k3b appdata 15:26:21 * rdieter confirmed, available in discover 15:26:24 <lupinix> nice 15:26:43 <rdieter> so if we did remove it, should be reasonably discover'able (pun) 15:27:30 <rdieter> while on topic of possibly removing stuff, any comment on konqueror (to remove it?) 15:28:20 <Southern_Gentlem> lupinix, but in countries with very limited bandwidth thats even an issue 15:28:24 <rdieter> reminds me, jgrulich, you've been doing a little discover work upstream? (I have a gripe or 2 I'd like to discuss after meeting, if possible) 15:28:42 <mbriza> with countries with limited bandwidth, it's an issue to update a package you didn't need in the first place, too 15:28:45 <rdieter> wrt konqueror, that one I could be in favor of removing 15:28:55 <jgrulich> rdieter: sure 15:29:26 <lupinix> mbriza: good argument 15:29:36 <jgrulich> as I said, I would remove it, no need to have three different browsers 15:29:46 <rdieter> jgrulich: one gripe, just searched for konqueror, it showed only f25 GA konqueror-16.08 version, not latest version , wonder if that's something fixable 15:30:16 * rdieter bets the GA version may not even be installable 15:30:30 <jgrulich> rdieter: I haven't looked into the PackageKit backend just yet, but I plan to as soon as possible, still stucked with flatpak support 15:30:38 <rdieter> jgrulich: ok, thx 15:30:50 <rdieter> anyone opposed to removing konqueror ? 15:30:56 <lupinix> +1 @remove 15:31:38 <pino|work> +0.5 15:31:44 <mbriza> +1 @remove 15:32:13 <rdieter> ok, that's good enough for me 15:32:27 <rdieter> #agreed remove konqueror from default f26 kde install 15:33:10 <rdieter> wrt k3b, sounds like there was some opposition to that so far. lupinix, is that sufficient or would you like a formal vote? 15:34:05 <lupinix> i justed wanted to discuss that => fine, maybe we can make a new evaluation for f27 with some more investigation 15:34:12 <rdieter> ok 15:34:17 <lupinix> and maybe discussion with users @mailing list 15:34:27 <rdieter> anyone else have f26-related topics ? 15:34:33 <lupinix> nothing else here 15:35:06 <rdieter> #topic Qt 5.8 status 15:35:33 <rdieter> just an update: Kevin_Kofler heroically imported stuff from Qt 5.8 copr into master/ branch git 15:36:11 <rdieter> I started bootstrap builds yesterday, qt5-qtbase completed, then rawhide buildroot isn't updating (package remains unsigned) 15:36:54 <rdieter> I poked #fedora-admin earlier, but not fixed yet, as far as I can tell 15:37:08 <rdieter> https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=873133 still in f27-pending 15:37:20 <rdieter> I'll monitor things and pick up when the buildroot updates 15:37:28 <rdieter> any questions or comments ? 15:38:03 <rdieter> oh, related topic: with minor packaging adjustments, it looks like qt5-qtwebengine-5.8 is buildable with f25/f26's current Qt-5.7 15:38:06 <lupinix> yes, qtwebengine, you saif you were successful with webengine 5.8 @qt 5.7? 15:38:16 <lupinix> *said 15:38:21 <rdieter> *maybe* even Qt 5.6, but I haven't tried that one yet 15:38:41 <lupinix> does qupzilla (or other packages) have to be rebuilt? 15:38:50 <rdieter> could be an approach to concerns that previous qtwebengine releases have unresolved security issues 15:39:03 <jgrulich> that's good, then there is no need to push Qt 5.8 to F26/F25, at least for now when it breaks Plasma 15:39:08 <rdieter> lupinix: good question, I tested a non-rebuilt qupzilla so far, it seems ok 15:39:33 <rdieter> lupinix: may not be a bad idea to rebuild stuff anyway 15:40:11 <lupinix> for qupzilla kevin wrote something about new features available then, but i'm not sure if this is limited to webengine or whole qt 5.8 15:40:11 * rdieter looks for copr link 15:40:31 <rdieter> https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/kdesig/qtwebengine/ 15:40:48 * lupinix will test 15:41:32 <rdieter> when Qt 5.8 is otherwise done, I'll adjust qtwebengine fedpkg/git sources with necessary adjustments too 15:41:33 <RaphGro> what's the replacement for konqueror? 15:41:50 <lupinix> RaphGro: no replacement 15:41:53 <rdieter> RaphGro: we already have 2 other browsers (firefox, qupzilla), and filemanager (dolphin) 15:42:03 <rdieter> is that enough? :) 15:42:07 <RaphGro> ah, dolphin. I forgot. sorry 15:42:19 <lupinix> and also krusader @file manager 15:42:22 <rdieter> actually, krusader may end up there too 15:42:39 <rdieter> <shrug> 15:42:49 <lupinix> :D 15:43:09 <rdieter> ok, moving on... 15:43:10 <rdieter> #topic apper 15:43:24 <rdieter> so, nothing gets things fixed like threatening to remove it :-P 15:43:41 <rdieter> 2 big bugs that supported the case for removing it from default install were fixed recently 15:44:04 <rdieter> cosmetic: breeze theming progress bars now appear correctly 15:44:23 <rdieter> bigger: plasma-pk-session helper, crasher was fixed 15:45:29 <lupinix> were there any other annoying bugs? 15:45:44 <lupinix> except the "groups not supported by backend" 15:46:19 <rdieter> the stuff that it made it a poor package manager still remains 15:46:31 <rdieter> but at least it (kinda) supports PK session interface now 15:46:32 * lupinix wonders whether we should think about undo the removal 15:47:29 <rdieter> org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Modify only is supported, not the newer org.freedesktop.PackageKit.Modify2 one 15:48:35 <rdieter> lupinix: we could, yes 15:49:56 <rdieter> I think it may be premature to decide for sure, the fixed builds are still in -testing, let's get some feedback/testing forst 15:49:58 <rdieter> first 15:50:08 <lupinix> ack 15:50:38 <rdieter> i'll try retesting, codec-installer after meeting 15:50:58 <rdieter> anything else on apper? 15:51:11 <lupinix> nothing else here 15:51:23 <rdieter> #topic open discussion 15:51:28 <x3mboy> ! 15:51:31 <rdieter> I think that's all the agenda, anything else? 15:51:41 <rdieter> x3mboy: yes? 15:51:41 <x3mboy> Sorry to interrupt your meeting 15:51:55 <x3mboy> I'm in representation of the marketing team 15:52:04 <rdieter> hi 15:52:11 <x3mboy> And I'm here to ask for your help 15:52:14 <lupinix> hi x3mboy 15:52:20 <x3mboy> Hi! 15:52:24 <x3mboy> :D 15:52:50 <x3mboy> As you should know, we prepare Talking Points to help marketing and ambassadors to publicize Fedora 15:52:56 <rdieter> x3mboy: (for posterity, feel free to stop by #fedora-kde any time too) 15:53:07 <x3mboy> And we are asking all SIGs and WGs to help us 15:53:14 <x3mboy> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_talking_points#Fedora_Cloud 15:53:41 <x3mboy> Sorry, is this one: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_talking_points#KDE_Desktop 15:53:56 <x3mboy> Can you give us a hand with this??? 15:54:11 <lupinix> x3mboy: feel free to bother me @LXQt too (i created the new spin) 15:54:12 <x3mboy> rdieter, Thanks! I will be there next time ;) 15:54:38 <x3mboy> lupinix, good to know! 15:54:58 <tosky> uhm, starting with the name (which is not KDE Desktop) 15:55:01 <x3mboy> lupinix, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_talking_points#LXQt is there for you :D 15:55:34 <tosky> so is it kind of marketing release notes for Fedora 26? 15:56:52 <x3mboy> Kind of 15:57:17 <x3mboy> Basically is like a list of highlights to focus in marketing campaigns and to ambassadors to talk to in events 15:58:36 <rdieter> x3mboy: how to help? tell you stuff? edit the wiki directly? other? 15:58:45 <x3mboy> Any of them 15:58:55 <x3mboy> If you want to tell me, I will be happy to add to the wiki 15:59:25 <x3mboy> Atomic SIG ask for a ticket in their pagure, and there they will release the notes, and I will pass that to the wiki 16:00:38 <rdieter> we probably should jump on the pagure bandwagon sooner or later too 16:01:16 <x3mboy> But as you like. If you edit the wiki directly is faster, but for me, it works in the way that fit your needs better 16:01:31 <x3mboy> ML, maybe, or in your IRC channel... 16:02:48 <x3mboy> So, I think you pass the time of meeting. Let me know if I should throw an email in your ML 16:02:59 <x3mboy> Or contact me in any IRC channel 16:03:55 <rdieter> x3mboy: asking onlist would be a good idea too 16:04:21 <rdieter> (there are contributors that could help that aren't here) 16:04:27 <x3mboy> rdieter, Good, I'll do that better 16:04:38 <x3mboy> rdieter, thanks for your time and for your efforts 16:04:55 <x3mboy> A lor of people is using fedora kde thanks to you 16:06:28 <rdieter> x3mboy: thanks for stopping by 16:06:37 <rdieter> any last words before we close the meeting anyone? 16:06:47 <lupinix> nothing else here 16:08:34 <rdieter> ok,, thanks everyone! 16:08:38 <rdieter> #endmeeting
