That is what we need to encourage 14:15:39 yeah, I think KDE 4.5 on F12 might be a QA nightmare, but if the group would like to make that happen then I would be willing to do as much testing as I can for it 14:15:49 SMParrish: +1 14:15:52 as I'm sure others would as well 14:16:03 maxamillion: I think it's not going to happen anyway, I'm the only one who wants it. :-( 14:16:09 SMParrish, +1 14:16:12 Kevin_Kofler: gotchya 14:17:17 maxamillion, hi :) FYI, i'm not very far with the oo.o kde integration, but working on it. 14:17:35 f14 is top priority now, we can talk about f13 later, f12 is out of scope 14:17:56 thomasj: oooo, you're still my hero for even looking into it! :D 14:18:01 :D 14:18:09 jreznik: +1 14:18:28 oh yes, jreznik +1 14:18:33 jreznik: do we want kde-4.5+qt-4.7 update for f13? 14:19:06 thomasj: good luck with that, you will need it :p 14:19:16 ltinkl, thanks, i know yeah :) 14:19:27 than: i think it would be good as then someone can easily fork the packages for RHEL6 14:19:46 than: it depends on update policies... 14:19:46 than: that would be inline with the updates policy proposal. Its should go into F13, F14 & rawhide 14:20:25 SMParrish: great, then we will do kde-4.5+qt4.7 update for f13 14:20:39 Yes, we definitely want the update for F13. 14:20:43 * thomasj want to see qt-4.7 final on his f13 with KDE 4.5 if irons out some minor glitches. 14:20:43 than: I'm +1, it's working very well 14:20:47 so long the updates policy allows 14:20:51 strace: RHEL 6 is based on F12, not F13. 14:20:51 *if it 14:21:09 Kevin_Kofler: IIRC i thought it used parts from F13 also 14:21:09 than: yes 14:21:11 So that'd actually be an argument for building F12 updates. :-) 14:21:27 strace: wha? why on earth are we worried about EL6? 14:21:38 (But tbh, I'm not interested in supporting EL.) 14:21:53 #info kde 4.5 & qt 4.7 is in line with our updates policy proposal 14:21:55 jreznik: please add KDE-4.5+qt-4.7 update for f13 on todo list 14:22:15 than: do we have any todo list at all? 14:22:20 :) 14:22:23 strace: if someone wants to build for EL6, they are more than welcome to but I find that out of the scope of this meeting and this SIG 14:22:34 maxamillion: indeed 14:22:40 Well, it would be within the scope of kde-redhat. 14:22:49 Anybody interested, please talk to rdieter. 14:22:50 jreznik: if not, it's time to do ;-) 14:22:56 there is old dbus related problem in F12, F13 that we can't solve https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=250030 14:23:04 than: I'm thinking about it a very long time :) 14:23:09 (He's currently not interested in EL6 builds himself, but he should be able to host them if somebody does the work.) 14:23:23 (At least that was the news last I discussed this with him.) 14:24:02 ok, let's move - it's great nokia finally released qt 4.7 but next time it would be better to know real schedule 14:24:15 thomasj: can you help us to work on KDE-4.5 update for F13? 14:24:19 nucleo, we can't fix that, as rdieter mentioned in -kde 14:24:23 than, sure 14:24:43 thomasj: thanks, i will let you know 14:24:48 #action thomasj helps with kde 4.5 update for f13 14:24:55 #topic Fedora 14 beta rc3 14:25:01 thomasj: then KDE 4.5 dolphin in F13 will have this problem 14:25:08 1. testing needed https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test 14:25:14 2. we are still oversized 14:25:17 I think we really need to get this fix into our dbus packages. 14:25:49 Kevin_Kofler, you might talk to rdieter about it. Even upstream thinks it's not easy to backport the fix. 14:26:01 Or was it nightmare ;p 14:26:07 thomasj: Actually upstream and the Fedora maintainers are basically identical. 14:26:16 jreznik: 1. is there a test day planned yet? 14:26:23 (which is why it's not going to be an easy fight to get that fix in :-( ) 14:26:31 maxamillion: no, it's not a test day, just that wiki page 14:26:36 can't swithc to console with Ctrl+Alt+F2 after logout/login on F14 RC3 LiveCD 14:26:41 Re oversized, we need to fix that for the final F14, it's probably too late for the beta. 14:26:45 At least it should be overburnable now. 14:27:00 708 MiB, I've overburned 712 MiB once. ;-) 14:27:17 depends on the media I guess, you can't rely on that :) 14:27:19 kdeaccessibility and some more fonts were removed, but gtk3 is still there 14:27:22 Have we already changed the topic? /me is confused 14:27:31 #info F14 KDE Plasma Desktop spin still oversized, has to be fixed by F14 final 14:27:50 thomasj: yes, I've changed topic 14:27:56 ltinkl: I know, we need to get the size down for the final. 14:27:59 thanks 14:28:14 svahl: gtk3 is gone from the Beta RC2 and RC3. 14:28:27 They've pulled in the firstboot update which stops dragging in metacity. 14:28:32 jreznik: should we look into scheduling a test day for the beta image? 14:28:37 yes? ok, only compared the latest nightly 14:29:12 maxamillion: no, it's not a test day stuff... and go/no-go meeting is tomorrow afternoon (US) 14:29:17 The nightlies still have metacity and deps (including the libcanberra-gtk3 and gtk3 stuff which is being dragged in by libcanberra-gtk2, that should be fixed too…). 14:29:33 (but it stops being our problem now because we don't drag in metacity nor libcanberra-gtk2 anymore) 14:30:24 #info from beta rc2 metacity is not dragged in -> no gtk3 deps 14:30:32 * thomasj has to go afk for a couple minutes (kids).. brb.. 14:31:26 I've downloaded the ISOs, but I haven't had the time to burn, let alone test, them. 14:31:38 100% right now 14:31:44 (I downloaded both the 32-bit and 64-bit one.) 14:31:50 * jreznik fires VirtualBox 14:32:21 jreznik: I think it won't work in VirtualBox (at least for me) 14:32:34 rnovacek: really? :( 14:32:51 jreznik: I'll try to find the bug report... 14:33:06 just after RC3 boot switching to console works with Ctrl+Alt+F2 but after logout not works 14:33:50 jreznik: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=621893 14:34:30 btw: package list of rc3 http://fpaste.org/WgE6/ proposals for removal welcome 14:34:43 rnovacek: hh, /me commented it too :) 14:35:08 svahl: We've had some discussion tonight. 14:35:52 * thomasj back 14:36:16 Kevin_Kofler: yes? 14:36:46 rdieter removed paratype-pt-sans-fonts (Cyrillic, already covered by DejaVu) and stix-fonts (mathematical symbols, we can do without those by default), but those changes haven't been propagated to RC3. 14:36:47 Do we have a chance to remove kdepim from the livecd and get it installed together with the livecd on HDD? 14:36:55 But they're probably not sufficient to fit. 14:37:33 Something like a trigger that's called after installation to HDD. 14:37:43 We could save some space by omitting phonon-backend-gstreamer and gstreamer-plugins-good, but we're still having gstreamer and gstreamer-plugins-base dragged in. 14:38:16 Other than that, everything we can remove probably removes some functionality. :-( 14:38:29 Kevin_Kofler: also think so. the difference between the last two nightlies is only 3MB 14:38:42 We could possibly split some stuff out of k3b-common into subpackages, e.g. translations, non-default themes, maybe also the image files for CD-I or such. 14:39:48 maybe drop the koffice stuff? didn't the F13 release image not contain those? 14:40:25 We haven't shipped an image without KOffice. 14:40:38 oh ... really? 14:40:39 my mistake 14:40:40 The GNOME folks have shipped a release with no office stuff at all, but I think that's really a bad idea. :-( 14:40:48 maxamillion: kword, kspread and kpresenter were present on all former releases 14:40:48 I swore I always hat to install it after the fact 14:40:57 huh ... nvm :/ 14:41:00 svahl: I think we actually omitted kpresenter once. 14:41:05 man-pages? 14:41:17 Kevin_Kofler: ok, maybe. 14:41:31 But with KOffice 2, it wouldn't save us much. 14:41:36 we just can't fit size and have all features... 14:41:38 A lot of stuff is now in the core. 14:41:39 svahl: and perhaps kspread. 14:42:08 if more space is needed 14:42:29 I'd omit K3b before KOffice… You're not likely to want to burn from a live image… 14:42:43 good point :) 14:42:46 But we might be able to make k3b-common smaller, too. 14:42:59 indeed, imho k3b would be the best option for removal/splitting 14:43:29 Kevin_Kofler: kword stays on livecd 14:43:45 than: sure 14:43:50 It's 20 MiB and that includes translations (can be subpackaged, we don't even have kde-l10n on the live image, so why ship K3b translations?), themes (why install by default?), some relatively large (1-2 MiB) image files for formats nobody uses (CD-I) etc. 14:44:17 (last comment before running), +1 to dropping k3b asap, and +1 to splitting out k3b translations longer-term. 14:44:35 (unless there's any obvious better solution... which I don't see right now) 14:44:46 We also need to talk to the Anaconda folks to see if they can't remove the tigervnc-server(-minimal) dep. 14:44:46 rdieter: +1 14:44:48 rdieter: +1 (for both) 14:44:57 Nobody wants to do a VNC install from a live image. 14:45:04 Kevin_Kofler: +1 14:45:13 And it drags in the xorg-x11-fonts-misc which are huge and unneeded. 14:45:13 is man-pages really needed on LiveCD (4.4Mb)? 14:45:49 And the bug report which is cited as justification for adding the dep is RH-only. 14:45:57 (Can one of the folks @ RH please check what this is all about?) 14:46:04 may be konq-plugins (5.4 Mb) will be better than man-pages 14:46:10 I would rather drop k3b that man-pages 14:46:17 #561498 14:46:40 rnovacek: no, man-pages are useful :) 14:46:47 nucleo: konq-plugins have already been omitted. 14:47:06 jreznik: that what I said 14:47:27 man-pages are often my life line 14:47:35 rnovacek: sorry :) 14:47:41 Kevin_Kofler: number of the bug report, please? (the one with xorg-x11-fonts-misc) 14:48:05 Kevin_Kofler: no justification there 14:48:43 mcepl: #561498 14:48:58 If it just says "add the dep", let's just file a bug saying just "remove the dep". ;-) 14:49:21 Kevin_Kofler: it basically says, "anaconda uses it, so it should be required" 14:49:36 and there is no discussion about it 14:49:43 It shouldn't be required because it's not needed on live images. 14:50:07 so it should be dealt with only via comps, right? (just to be sure I understand what you suggest) 14:50:18 We really don't want tigervnc-server(-minimal) and especially not xorg-x11-fonts-misc on our live images. 14:50:35 mcepl: It should be dealt with by whatever builds the Anaconda environment for the traditional installer. 14:50:37 Kevin_Kofler: and BTW, the question is ... why are you bothered with RHEL-6 bug? 14:51:01 mcepl: Because that's used as a justification for dragging in a dependency into Anaconda, also in Fedora, which is bloating our live images. 14:51:31 then I would just go and file contra-Fedora-bug ... "don't do it" and we can deal with that bug. 14:51:35 do we have such bug 14:51:35 ? 14:51:44 Not yet. 14:51:55 OK, I am going to ask about the issue 14:54:13 Can we move on now? We only have 6 minutes left… 14:54:31 #topic dbusmenu-qt issue 14:55:13 We obviously need to ship the dbusmenu-qt version with the bugfixes. 14:55:28 I think there's not much more to add on the Fedora side there… 14:55:45 the one from http://people.canonical.com/~agateau/dbusmenu/ 14:56:29 ltinkl: Isn't that upstream Canonical version? 14:56:42 #info we need to ship fixed dbusmenu-qt version 14:56:54 Kevin_Kofler: afaik no 14:57:02 The fixed one is IIRC in a GIT repo 14:57:16 http://gitorious.org/dbusmenu/dbusmenu-qt 14:57:19 #link http://gitorious.org/dbusmenu/dbusmenu-qt 14:57:30 ye, the page points to that gitorious repo 14:58:23 shall I take care of this? 14:59:21 Actually, what we're shipping comes from that repo. 14:59:37 But the new tarballs on that page are going to come from Launchpad bzr. 14:59:45 The project just moved to Launchpad, it seems. 14:59:51 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~agateau/libdbusmenu-qt/trunk/changes/183?start_revid=183 14:59:59 And all the non-Canonical patches have been dropped. 15:00:09 ye but the launchpad repo doesn't contain aseigo's and others' fixes 15:00:51 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members/libdbusmenu-qt/ubuntu/files/head:/debian/patches/ <== patches are here as well 15:00:56 ok, we're running out of time -> #fedora-kde 15:01:06 ltinkl: Right, that's the whole problem. 15:01:33 So future upstream tarballs from Launchpad won't have them. 15:01:35 thomasj: yes but it's better to take it directly from gitorious imho 15:01:37 #endmeeting
