15:04:16 * lupinix waves 15:04:55 o/ 15:05:14 but partially double booked (technically triple-booked right now) 15:05:35 * pino|work is here 15:05:50 #info rdieter lupinix tosky pino|work present 15:06:06 though we have only 1/3*tosky 15:06:39 we have what? 15:06:48 triple-booked 15:06:52 aaanyway 15:06:58 one-third of a tosky 15:07:06 it depends which part we got 15:07:14 #chair lupinix tosky pino|work 15:07:14 Current chairs: lupinix pino|work rdieter tosky 15:07:24 pino|work: good point 15:08:32 #topic agenda 15:08:37 ok, what to discuss today? 15:08:57 so far, I have topics: qt-5.9.2 status, and kde spin apps (per recent ml thread) 15:10:32 * lupinix has no special topics 15:10:37 * tosky has no other points 15:10:54 * pino|work neither 15:10:54 k, let's go 15:11:00 #topic qt-5.9.2 status 15:11:24 5.9.2 builds and deps have been sitting in -testing for a bit now, mostly good feedback so far 15:11:44 in the meantime, I've been tightening intermodule dependencies in rawhide, after finding more private api usage 15:11:45 i have no issues on f26 and f27 15:12:09 f27 : https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-5ebb1d005c 15:12:16 iirc there is at least an annoying bug for Qt applications under Wayland fixed in 5.9.2 (menu popping up in random places) 15:12:17 f26 : https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-c133443edc 15:12:30 maybe tightening the dependencies should be done before pushing, so people don't get symbols lookup issues 15:14:09 I don't think it's worth waiting for *now*, the only scenario for problems is folks who do selective updates, ie: update one qt5- pkg, without the others 15:14:25 but it definitely will be better for the next batch 15:14:35 yes 15:15:08 I'm open to consider it, if others feel strongly, but it'll push back qt-5.9.2 coming to stable updates for another week 15:15:46 i think the update is fine so far 15:16:21 * lupinix just found an issue with lxqt-config on f26 but the neccessary rebuild is included in the updates 15:17:27 the magic incantation: dnf repoquery --repoid=rawhide --whatrequires "libQt5*(Qt_5_PRIVATE_API)(64bit)" 15:17:52 I'm (still) disappointed upstream chose not to implement versioning for minor releases here, so we could rely on that 100% 15:18:56 anything else on Qt 5.9.2 ? 15:19:33 nothing else here 15:20:01 k, moving on 15:20:10 #topic kde spin applications 15:20:38 https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/PFMYMFABAPI5Z6PLBEIMXMBXZUERJTSL/ 15:20:41 per ml thread ^^ 15:21:13 I'm generally in agreement with the recommendations laid out 15:21:46 all of them, or more for the higher one in priority? 15:21:56 same here, i'd remove all applications under "most likely" and "maybe" 15:22:02 the first group for sure, "maybe remove" as well 15:22:03 and maybe k3b in addition 15:22:14 actually, all of them :) 15:22:39 would be good steps to achieve the objective 15:23:01 some of them requires change to packaging (qt dbus, amarok build dep) 15:23:06 and konqueror can go imho 15:23:20 others are just "remove from the image" 15:23:24 dbusviewer is already packaged separately 15:23:33 (I"m pretty sure) 15:23:45 the amarok on can be made soft, yes 15:23:50 amarok one... 15:24:14 even killed, let me dig a forum thread 15:24:16 (or crazy thought, drop amarok altogether) 15:24:31 https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=116&t=127898 15:24:49 rdieter: and what add instead of amarok? 15:24:52 just as a note, Workstation ships Rythmbox 15:25:17 audio player is a must have imho 15:25:23 lupinix: good question, offhand no replacement, but meh 15:25:42 lupinix: iirc there's dragon already 15:25:58 but dragon and an amarok-like app are completely different beasts 15:26:33 yes, thats why i would like to have a proper replacement if we remove amarok 15:26:39 may have to double-check remaining qt4/kde4 apps on spin, amarok is probably one of the last ones 15:26:55 * than is present 15:27:00 #info than present 15:27:02 hi 15:27:03 #chair than 15:27:03 Current chairs: lupinix pino|work rdieter than tosky 15:27:13 hi all 15:27:22 anyone, if folks have input, please comment onlist 15:27:30 tosky: and thanks for looking into it 15:27:46 iirc the content of the live is installed by default, right? 15:27:47 juk will be Qt5 in Applications 17.12, for the record; elisa is maturing too 15:28:43 pino|work: yes 15:28:48 ok 15:29:13 elisa would be interesting 15:29:33 elisa is still a one-man show 15:29:50 right, it's in playground in fact 15:30:04 the good thing is that he is fixing frameworks on the way 15:30:19 playground or extragear does not matter 15:30:24 but that's out of scope here; not ready for 27, probably not for 28 15:30:48 and for that time there could be other alternatives 15:30:50 what i meant is that is basically still developed by a single person, so yes, actively worked on, but basically with nobody else working on it 15:31:02 , the timeframe for acting on this is f28 territory 15:31:07 this is not a judgement on its quality 15:31:14 sure 15:31:32 so can we still kill some of the programs on the live for f27? 15:31:37 well, we could skip the audio player point for now and re-evaluate later 15:31:44 I'd hoped tomahawk to be a viable alternative too, but that seems to have slowed down 15:31:45 iirc there was another player in development, can't remember the name though 15:31:50 babe? 15:32:07 ah yes, babe 15:33:12 anyway, i agree with the "most likely" points, and all the non-games "maybe" points 15:33:31 + remove kruler too 15:33:57 so keep all games? Or just keep one or two instead of 3? 15:34:06 and possibly krdc too (maybe not if the workstation ships one) 15:34:25 no, Workstation does not ship a remote client 15:34:25 tosky: I'd say all (3) or nothing 15:34:51 if we're gonna slim down, may as well go all the way :-P 15:35:09 uhm uhm 15:35:17 well, imho these 3 games are the last of our problems 15:35:21 hard to give up my kmines tho 15:35:29 pino|work: true 15:35:56 having some kind of small games is fine for me 15:36:12 not in term of space, I agree; I was thinking about the QA that needs to open each program 15:36:13 (games are fine, I was being a little snarky) 15:36:20 that said, games are mostly stable 15:36:23 especially those 3 15:36:34 yes 15:36:37 i'd keep them 15:37:32 i'd rather drop telepathy-kde than these games 15:37:35 maybe one more week of discussion, and decide on first pass of removals next week? 15:37:38 pino|work: +1 15:38:02 pino|work: dropping telepathy is pretty much a given at the point (I think) 15:38:26 telepathy-kde is in the "drop for sure" 15:39:05 with its removal, two items in the "most likely can be removed" list will be removed 15:40:00 tosky: you ok with implementing the changes (submitting pull requests for comps and/or spin-kickstarts)? 15:40:27 (though we don't need to make that decision now, just curious) 15:40:34 rdieter: for the changes to comps yes, I need to read a bit of documentation first; can I test it locally? 15:41:09 comps and spin-kickstart of course 15:41:25 tosky: it's just a xml file listing groups of packages 15:41:33 (comps) 15:42:05 spin-kickstarts is *most* uses comps groups (this is where telepathy would be removed, for example) 15:42:14 *mostly* uses, I mean 15:42:46 ack, I will check that 15:42:50 not exactly easily testable locally, short of actually generating your own full live image locally (non-trivial) 15:42:58 ah, that was the question 15:43:03 ??? 15:43:14 Southern_Gentlem: comment? 15:43:17 * lupinix can create test builds of live 15:43:28 you need an updated live for 27? 15:43:30 lupinix: ok, thanks 15:43:43 Southern_Gentlem: no, we're considering spin changes for future (probably f28) 15:44:11 get me a ks and we can test with 27 15:44:14 in particular, slimming it down a bit 15:44:30 +1 15:44:37 k, thanks for the offer, will keep that in mind 15:44:55 Southern_Gentlem: if you have instructions on how to generate it locally, it would be good too 15:45:23 tosky: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Livemedia-creator-_How_to_create_and_use_a_Live_CD 15:45:51 thanks 15:45:56 * lupinix does his local test builds of lxqt spin and astronomy lab this way 15:45:58 it's not *hard*, but sometimes is tricky , and takes a bit of time, downloading 15:46:24 (or have a uni mirror) 15:46:36 true 15:46:52 my home connection is fast 15:46:53 uni here, 1gbit/s connection, most time goes into compression 15:47:01 of live image 15:47:08 not university-level, but fast enough 15:47:41 konquest is the best KDE game imo ☺ 15:47:53 the changes to both comps and spin-kickstarts should be easy enough to eye-ball it for errors/typos 15:48:23 rdieter, and most of the ks are in pagure now 15:48:28 bowlofeggs: +1 15:48:47 i've spent hours playing konquest, honing in a strat ☺ 15:49:00 I recall writing a text/curses variant of konquest in college 15:49:12 there's an android port/variant of it too 15:49:42 btw i also have things to add @spin :P 15:50:11 the android version is called PlanetCon 15:50:21 it's slightly different 15:50:26 but similar idea 15:50:30 basically wayland, i guess it is stable enough now with plasma, not as default but as preview 15:50:54 lupinix: , I think upstream is tenatively targetting plasma-5.12 15:51:17 that's what Martin is trying to push, but let's see 15:51:42 that may be time that we could actually include it in the spin at least, even if not used by default 15:52:18 (currently it is not included) 15:52:26 tosky, https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/MUQd60nsM0PWJRUDRrHMRg to give you an idea of the commandline 15:52:34 thanks 15:53:07 move on? 15:53:12 (almost out of time anyway) 15:53:15 yes 15:53:20 #topic open discussion 15:54:19 last thoughts, wanted to mention fesco ruled on qtwebengine, saga @ https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/1781 15:54:49 kde-sig commit rights restored, agreed to compromise on new pull-request workflow 15:55:16 hopefully it works… 15:55:31 Kevin can ack, or +2 kde-sig members (48hr minimum) to commit 15:55:47 or +4 kde-sig members required to override veto/nack 15:57:19 in a similar vein, I'd like to work harder to keep #fedora-kde a more positive and collaborative space 15:57:32 in particular, it needs to be a rant-free zone 15:57:42 thanks 15:57:42 yes 15:58:11 please let me know if help is needed to enforce that 15:58:43 who has mod rights @irc channel? 15:58:59 of active kde-sig members, good question, at least me 15:58:59 rdieter: thanks, that's what i'm asking for more than 2 years... 15:59:30 pino|work: been trying, but admittedly not hard enough 16:00:14 for some special person i guess kick and later ban is the only option… 16:00:19 had been long hoping certain individuals could get steered in the right direction without force 16:00:49 but now simply have to draw a line in the sand making it clear what is ok and what is not 16:00:49 * lupinix just set that person to ignore in his client as he has been attacked personally 16:01:16 btw: are we blocking some other meeting here now? 16:01:26 lupinix: and that's sad, should never have to do that 16:01:33 possibly, we are out of time 16:01:39 so, thanks everyone! 16:01:42 #endmeeting
