19:06:44 <zoglesby> this week is a blur
19:07:44 <randomuser> whee!
19:08:16 <randomuser> anyone want to hear about publican spelunking, or should I wait until jfearn is around to pounce on?
19:08:57 <zoglesby> I saw you made some changes to publican-fedora, but I did not look to see what you did
19:10:36 <randomuser> zoglesby, I just undid something I did before
19:11:22 <randomuser> look at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/docs-backend/en-US/index.html and note the lack of style in the copy
19:12:05 <randomuser> that comes from docsite-publican, which was deployed with a publican rpm
19:13:10 <randomuser> then look at https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/publican.git/tree/lib/Publican/Builder.pm line 602
19:14:12 <randomuser> it's removing the common content when building the src.rpm - so that at build time, ie rpmbuild -bb, it's not there. There aren't even references to the common_content stuff, like there is in web.git
19:14:58 <zoglesby> interesting
19:16:28 <randomuser> also, there *are* includes for chrome.css and splash.css - but I copied those files over manually, nothing provides them.  web_home might if it included common content
19:16:32 <randomuser> ...maybe
19:17:01 <randomuser> jsmith, seem like I'm on the right track?
19:17:22 <zoglesby> so how do we get all of that back?
19:17:37 <randomuser> I suspect that `publican package` should check what kind of package it's building, and do the right thing
19:18:20 <randomuser> optionally, the spec could *remove* the common content after build, and then the brand rpm could provide it, so you don't have to rebuild the splash pages to change the brand
19:18:34 <randomuser> ...is that as hacky as it sounds?
19:19:20 <zoglesby> yes, I think so
19:20:25 <randomuser> hrm
19:21:28 <randomuser> well, I should make RPMs for these things that don't use publican to make the srpm and see what they do
19:22:06 <zoglesby> what is not using publican?
19:22:26 <randomuser> the RPM that I intend to create
19:22:30 <zoglesby> oh I see
19:24:40 <randomuser> .bz 1173269
19:24:47 <randomuser> hilarious bug of the day
19:25:04 <randomuser> ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1173269 )
19:26:35 <zoglesby> randomuser: I think its a real issue
19:27:32 <zoglesby> I don't know about the removing numbers from the front, but I noticed that rhythmbox did not find my mp3s
19:27:48 <randomuser> I don't doubt it's veracity, I just find it amusing
19:28:14 <zoglesby> I then went back to using mpd
19:29:12 * randomuser uses amarok
19:29:29 <randomuser> you can have a postgres db backing the metadata, how cool is that?
19:30:06 <zoglesby> I try to keep stuff that requires qt off my computer
19:30:40 <zoglesby> old habit, I don't really need to worry about the disk space issues any more, but I can't help it.
19:31:08 <randomuser> I'm probably too promiscuous about these things
19:31:57 <randomuser> my wife's laptop got fedup'd last night and I was really surprised that I had managed to get the package count up to over 2K.  I used it *one time*, for the week of flock2013
19:32:22 <zoglesby> yum install *
19:32:25 <randomuser> heh
19:34:27 * randomuser checks the roster to see if anyone is waiting with questions for the banter to subside
19:34:47 <randomuser> thatdocslady, you're somewhat new to the group, how are you settling in?
20:01:42 <randomuser> well, that was an hour
20:01:52 <zoglesby> yay!
20:02:00 <randomuser> I'm going to end the meeting now, because apparently that's what people do after an hour of running a meeting
