May 04 19:39:28 NotZedin the dark
May 04 19:39:28 harishthanks jpr :-). Hi all
May 04 19:39:53 shreshey harish
May 04 19:39:57 surfhi :)
May 04 19:40:05 gekkervanakkam harish
May 04 19:40:11 haiphi
May 04 19:40:16 chenhi harish
May 04 19:40:17 dhm_homehi!
May 04 19:40:19 harishhooo...gekker - where did you learn that ?
May 04 19:40:22 parthahi harish
May 04 19:40:38 nags_Hi all
May 04 19:40:41 sushhey harish
May 04 19:40:43 gekkervaradhan taught me :)
May 04 19:40:46 nags_Today I get some time to demo LDTP + Evolution sanity test-scripts to jpr and also got some good feedback
May 04 19:40:46 andre_also "hi harish." ;-)
May 04 19:40:49 harishso...lets get started for the day's agenda ..and we have the light back :)
May 04 19:41:01 NotZeddawn of a new age?
May 04 19:41:11 surf:)
May 04 19:41:12 rodrigo:)
May 04 19:41:46 harishso on the main agenda..- i hope all of you have been tracking the 2.4 task list
May 04 19:41:47 nags_thanks to NotZed, he gave me Xvfb idea to integrate with LDTP
May 04 19:41:49 harishon the wiki
May 04 19:42:01 harishhttp://go-evolution.org/TwoFourTaskList
May 04 19:42:32 *andre_ has quit (Remote closed the connection)
May 04 19:42:33 harishi would like to gently invite you all to go through that again and add in your comments
May 04 19:43:15 harishand you would have also noticed those beautiful design documentations from jpr, rodrigo and shortly from
May 04 19:43:21 harishNotZed too, i guess
May 04 19:43:36 *andre_ (~y0020796@rzlx0002.rz.tu-bs.de) has joined #evolution-meet
May 04 19:43:41 NotZedi put up some stuff on threading in mail at least
May 04 19:44:01 harishoh yes...
May 04 19:44:44 harishThe CVS Head would be open for commits now ..
May 04 19:45:09 harishthough the patch review mode would continue on the 2.2 branch
May 04 19:45:49 harishThe 2.2.x release shows about 4 showstoppers right now.. is that right nags_ ?
May 04 19:46:01 nags_harish: Yes
May 04 19:46:14 rodrigoharish: I just rescheduled all < 2.2.x milestones bugs, so there might be more
May 04 19:46:38 rodrigonot sure if there were showstoppers though
May 04 19:47:23 harishoh.. ok. if any of how have issues to report that you feel must be fixed in 2.2.4 - kindly make sure..
May 04 19:47:49 harishyou report the bug or bump up the criticality for existing ones.
May 04 19:48:16 rodrigono bug report for it, but the migration patch that davE_largo reported needs to go to 2.2.4
May 04 19:48:21 parthaharish: since the head is open, is the ABI freeze removed. can structures be modified on head??
May 04 19:48:26 harishah..i almost forgot.. nags_ (Nagappan) would be our new Bug Master and the lead QA guy for evolution
May 04 19:48:49 nags_As of now 1 critical bug and 3 blockers in 2.2.x
May 04 19:48:55 harishpartha, no. we would continue to maintain the ABI compatibility in the 2.3 dev cycle
May 04 19:48:58 NotZedi think 273375 can be downgraded, it is only from one reporter and maybe one os anyway
May 04 19:49:00 nags_:)
May 04 19:49:32 parthaharish: ok
May 04 19:49:54 *varadhan (~varadhan@202.144.86.147) has joined #evolution-meet
May 04 19:49:55 nags_NotZed: I guess there are some similar bugs....
May 04 19:50:05 NotZedharish: really? that may be difficult
May 04 19:50:13 *nags_ checking similar bugs in bgo
May 04 19:50:46 harishNotZed, it is a tough ask.. but we would give it a try.. we may have to allow APIs to be extended (not modified though)
May 04 19:51:03 NotZeddepends on what constitutes public apis
May 04 19:51:05 NotZedi guess
May 04 19:51:16 harishyes..mostly
May 04 19:51:58 parthait should hold good for structures that are not public/exposed.
May 04 19:52:16 harishok.. lets go around the room and get the status. new guys can also a give brief intro and the new roles that they are taking up
May 04 19:52:25 parthastructures used internally can be modified can they??
May 04 19:52:29 harishfor the benefit of all
May 04 19:52:45 harishpartha, after a good impact analysis :-)
May 04 19:52:53 parthaAh!

May 04 19:58:46 fejj_oh
May 04 19:58:48 fejj_heh
May 04 19:58:59 fejj_been working on trying to get gtk-doc in place for camel
May 04 19:59:07 fejj_turning out to be a bigger pita than expected
May 04 19:59:13 fejj_gtk-doc is god aweful
May 04 19:59:31 rodrigoyeah, /me has lots of problems to make it generate the templates
May 04 19:59:43 fejj_yea, and it wants to do a recursive scan
May 04 19:59:51 fejj_even tho for camel, that's not really desirable
May 04 20:00:26 fejj_also, it can't handle #ifdef's
May 04 20:00:38 jproh, it wants to scan the providers as well?
May 04 20:00:41 fejj_yea
May 04 20:00:54 rodrigoif you don't tell to ignore the dirs, it does yeah
May 04 20:00:59 fejj_and it also barfs on enum's that aren't typedef'd
May 04 20:01:00 *ganesh_ (~ganesh@220.226.20.35) has joined #evolution-meet
May 04 20:01:12 harishhi ganesh_
May 04 20:01:18 fejj_oh, I can tell it to ignore dirs? thought I had to specify files
May 04 20:01:30 ganesh_hi..there was not power at home..just logged in..How r things ?
May 04 20:01:42 harishwould you like to introduce yourself and about ur new role
May 04 20:01:49 rodohi ganesh_
May 04 20:01:57 rodrigofejj_: I think if you put the dir names in IGNORE_HFILESit should work
May 04 20:01:59 ganesh_Hi rodo..
May 04 20:02:00 fejj_anyways, huge pain
May 04 20:02:02 rodrigothat is, dir/*.h
May 04 20:02:07 rodrigoyeah, pain
May 04 20:02:11 fejj_rodrigo: ok, I'll try
May 04 20:02:15 fejj_oh
May 04 20:02:19 ganesh_I am going to maintain GTKHTMl taking over from rodo..
May 04 20:02:24 fejj_wasn't sure the wildcard would work
May 04 20:02:41 rodrigofejj_: not sure, so try
May 04 20:02:55 harishguenther, have anything for us ?
May 04 20:02:57 roozbehhas libical changed maintainers also?
May 04 20:03:12 fejj_the fact that it doesn't autogen the class tree sucks too
May 04 20:03:18 fejj_I have to write that out manually
May 04 20:03:29 harishroozbeh, not really.. chen and I would continue to look at the calendar modules
May 04 20:03:43 guentherharish: I'm officially the Evo maintainer for GARNOME.
May 04 20:03:46 NotZedfejj: you could query camel for it
May 04 20:03:48 guentherNo news apart from that.
May 04 20:03:54 harishguenther, :)
May 04 20:04:01 fejj_NotZed: what do you mean?
May 04 20:04:12 harishhaip, ?
May 04 20:04:19 NotZedinstantiate every object, then dump the class tree
May 04 20:04:23 nags_NotZed: Bug #273375 - Possible duplicate of bug# 272807 or
May 04 20:04:23 nags_http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18830
May 04 20:04:31 haipnothing special, in holidays
May 04 20:04:42 harishhaip, oh yes..saw your mail
May 04 20:04:49 fejj_eh, I guess
May 04 20:04:51 haipok
May 04 20:05:04 fejj_I already wrote out the class tree so it's not a huge deal
May 04 20:05:15 harishhaip: the gal patches would be committed in after review
May 04 20:05:17 fejj_now I just need to write it out again in sgml format :\
May 04 20:05:28 haipharish, ok, thanks :)
May 04 20:05:42 NotZedok
May 04 20:06:10 roozbehi also have a bug which i personally consider serious, because it bites people without them knowing: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301363 . this post from my blog should enlighten you: http://www.advogato.org/person/roozbeh/diary.html?start=23
May 04 20:06:17 fejj_I'm honestly shocked that gtk-doc can't convert camel.hierarchy into class_tree.sgml
May 04 20:06:19 harishits my turn - i have mostly been attending talks by jpr and michael and understanding more about my responsibilities
May 04 20:06:22 fejj_on its own
May 04 20:06:29 nags_harish: may be I need to talk to guenther to integrate Evolution sanity test-scripts with build system ?
May 04 20:06:37 fejj_especially since gtk-doc is what wants both those files
May 04 20:06:42 jprnags_: gekker
May 04 20:06:42 NotZednags: i dont think so
May 04 20:06:49 nags_jpr: okay
May 04 20:06:49 *fejj_ boggles at the shittiness of gtk-doc
May 04 20:07:10 harishNotZed, you want to add a bit about last week ?
May 04 20:07:11 *rodrigo shares the pain with fejj_
May 04 20:07:22 NotZedmy status?
May 04 20:07:24 NotZedreport
May 04 20:07:51 harishyes pl. :-)
May 04 20:07:53 NotZedsome talks/discussions: camel overview, mail threading, and overall evolution mail overview
May 04 20:07:59 NotZedimplemented a profiling hook and plugin for profiling interactive tasks, and some small tools to visualise the data with some test profiling points.
May 04 20:08:00 fejj_rodrigo: it's like calling autobuild...auto
May 04 20:08:01 fejj_:p
May 04 20:08:03 *ghj (~ghj@202-63-162-234.exatt.net) has joined #evolution-meet
May 04 20:08:06 NotZedlooked into remote mail api/sending. basic api started, but not working. bonobo-activation issue - will probably write ior to disk. going to implement it as a plugin to start with
May 04 20:08:10 NotZedlots of small discussions about specific problems, like offline mode, various design issues, future ideas, etc.
May 04 20:08:24 harishNotZed, thanks
May 04 20:08:43 harishpartha, ?
May 04 20:09:08 parthafixed a few issue with the groupwise provider

May 04 20:09:59 parthanothing much apart from that.
May 04 20:10:18 harishrodrigo, ?
May 04 20:10:25 rodospent most of time talking with ganesh about gtkhtml design, fixed few more memory leaks
May 04 20:10:40 rodrigobeen writing API docs, trying to get gtk-doc to work with the new ones
May 04 20:10:41 rodotrying to fix some evo's usage of low level apis
May 04 20:10:50 rodrigowrote design docs of calendar
May 04 20:10:58 rodomeetings, patch review, ...
May 04 20:11:19 rodrigostarted list of tasks for 2.6 calendar
May 04 20:11:28 harishrodo, we are also trying to do cut down on the public apis on gtkhtml , right ?

May 04 20:11:58 rodoharish: yes, that's part of it
May 04 20:12:18 harishrodrigo, thanks
May 04 20:12:34 harishroozbeh, ?
May 04 20:12:45 roozbehok
May 04 20:13:00 roozbehthe thing is that i am playing with timezone data, taking the legacy from damon,
May 04 20:13:24 roozbehand that we should either break Outlook 2000 compatiblity, or provide very bad data.
May 04 20:13:43 roozbehi can't decide what to do, and we can't have both.
May 04 20:14:03 roozbehhttp://www.advogato.org/person/roozbeh/diary.html?start=23 should be enlightening.
May 04 20:14:22 harishyes.. i noticed the conversation on #evolution too
May 04 20:14:22 rodrigoroozbeh: btw, maybe you want to add something to http://go-evolution.org/Evo_Future#Simplified_date_management
May 04 20:14:30 roozbehit has bitten me personally two times.
May 04 20:14:54 roozbehthis is the bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=301363
May 04 20:15:26 harishroozbeh, maybe we should discuss this right after the meeting, along with surf perhaps
May 04 20:15:38 roozbehharish: ok

May 04 20:23:47 harishany updates for us ?
May 04 20:23:52 tmlyes, been looking at e-d-s, doing basic win32 portability work in it. also some bug fixes and enhancements in gtk+/pango/glib on win32
May 04 20:24:38 harishgreat. do you have anything pending on gal ?
May 04 20:24:50 tmlnot really at the moment
May 04 20:24:58 *pvanhoof (~pvanhoof@cvs.maia-scientific.com) has joined #evolution-meet
May 04 20:25:08 tmlbut stuff no doubt come up later
May 04 20:25:43 harishtml : ok. gal on cvs is likely to be closed for commits as part of its movement into evolution
May 04 20:26:00 harishi would request kaushal to keep you posted on his plans
May 04 20:26:09 tmlok. what's the history of it, btw?
May 04 20:26:30 tmlhas is originally been separate, or was it first part of evo, then split out, and now going back?
May 04 20:26:53 harishtml, kind of. is that right, jpr ?
May 04 20:27:07 jpri'm not sure where etable came from
May 04 20:27:12 jprbut it was dumped in there
May 04 20:27:17 ganesh_harish, rodo, I will have to sign-off now..
May 04 20:27:20 jpralong with some stuff common to gnumeric
May 04 20:27:23 harishuneumann, ??
May 04 20:27:32 jpr(gnumeric no longer uses it)
May 04 20:27:48 harishvaradhan, ??
May 04 20:27:51 NotZedi thought it was mostly always separate
May 04 20:28:13 NotZedhmm, etable ... maybe since we're going to root up the ui we could through gtktreeview at it too
May 04 20:28:21 varadhanHi All. I am Varadhan and will be handling evo-conduits
May 04 20:28:22 uneumannHi harish.
May 04 20:28:30 uneumannI'm new here :-)
May 04 20:28:36 harishuneumann, welcome
May 04 20:28:52 harishvivek, ?
May 04 20:28:52 varadhanI am coming from Beagle.
May 04 20:29:27 varadhanas for the status, well... attended evo talks/presentations by jpr.
May 04 20:29:28 vivekidentified "common" user actions and collected some profiling data for the time taken by each of them, put some of them on wiki, had started with putting GTimer, and now using NotZed's plugin to get the data for mailer related actions (pretty helpful)
May 04 20:30:11 vivekstill have to update wiki with the more data
May 04 20:30:14 harishthanks vivek
May 04 20:30:22 gekkerevolution was updated to 2.0.4 for BETA3 of NLD9-SP2, so for anyone testing, watch for that in the May 13 build
May 04 20:30:31 gekkersince you skipped me earlier ;)
May 04 20:30:40 NotZedvivek: the plugin can be used in all components, any profiling stuff you do can then be patched into the tree too
May 04 20:30:41 varadhanand attended a nice-detailed-code-walk-through by jpr on gnome-pilot and evo-conduits.
May 04 20:30:43 harishgekker, oh sorry ! thanks
May 04 20:31:12 rodogekker: 2.0.4? not 2.2.x?
May 04 20:31:13 vivekNotZed, yea i am planning to do that, just that started with mailer :)
May 04 20:31:34 harishi also had two other agenda items - the first on a rethink about our patch review process
May 04 20:31:34 gekkerrodo: yes 2.0.4
May 04 20:31:35 jprrodo: correct 2.0.4
May 04 20:31:37 dhm_homevaradhan, jpr: any notes on this postable publically?
May 04 20:31:53 rodook
May 04 20:31:57 varadhandhm_home: gnome-pilot or evo-conduits?
May 04 20:32:02 NotZedgood-o :)
May 04 20:32:06 nags_gekker: yes we are testing it in Bangalore
May 04 20:32:07 dhm_home(gnome-pilot/conduits that is)
May 04 20:32:21 nags_NLD-SP2, Beta3
May 04 20:32:43 harishjpr has suggested that we deprecate e-p and align to the gnome bugzilla way
May 04 20:32:53 gekkernags_: let me know if there are any problems, take a quick look at the apps that consume e-d-s to make sure that works if you can
May 04 20:33:03 jprnot just for the sake of doing it the gnome way
May 04 20:33:14 nags_gekker: Ya sure
May 04 20:33:15 jprbut we have a tendency to "lose" patches in the mailing list
May 04 20:33:24 jprits also easier for downstream packagers
May 04 20:33:28 jprto release updates
May 04 20:33:37 NotZedand easier for contributors
May 04 20:33:38 jprif the patch is on the bug
May 04 20:33:40 jpryes
May 04 20:33:44 harishyes
May 04 20:33:55 jprmy main concern is visibility of the patches
May 04 20:33:57 jprfor review
May 04 20:34:06 varadhandhm_home: I don't think anything is *readily* available. ;)
May 04 20:34:07 jprbut there are some b.g.o reports related to patches
May 04 20:34:09 rodrigoyeah, some patches would be lost
May 04 20:34:18 jprso those might help
May 04 20:34:20 rodomight be good to have page summarizing patches as we had for milestones
May 04 20:34:34 guentherjpr: I'm concerned about noticing the relevant patches, too.
May 04 20:34:40 jprthey should have the PATCH keyword
May 04 20:34:45 dhm_homevaradhan: http://live.gnome.org/GnomePanel is all I know about
May 04 20:34:46 jpras per usual
May 04 20:35:00 *varadhan checks
May 04 20:35:12 guentherwell, monitoring a mailing list vs. monitoring a whole bugzilla... ;)
May 04 20:35:28 jpri don't think its much harder
May 04 20:35:30 andre_almost all patches that were posted to *bugzilla* should have patch keyword enabled
May 04 20:35:38 surfthe concerned maintainers would be notified by mails .. so thats a good thing
May 04 20:35:41 harishbugzilla makes it easier to query unreviewed patches better though
May 04 20:35:42 NotZedjpr: not according to the keyword help page
May 04 20:35:45 dhm_homevaradhan: oops, wrong link. sorry. shpuld have been http://live.gnome.org/GnomePilot
May 04 20:35:56 jprNotZed: no?
May 04 20:36:03 varadhandhm_home: no probs.. ;-)
May 04 20:36:04 nags_jpr: but patch keyword in description page is something like this...
May 04 20:36:06 nags_jpr: This keyword is deprecated and will be removed at a future date. It is also useless since many patches do not have this keyword set at all. Patches should now be found by querying bugzilla for attachment statuses.
May 04 20:36:19 jprwell, there you go :-)
May 04 20:36:25 jprthere is still a way to do it
May 04 20:36:31 jprwe don't have to change right away, but i think it should definitely be considered
May 04 20:36:46 nags_okay
May 04 20:37:23 varadhandhm_home: hmm.. that gives the Headlines ;)
May 04 20:37:33 pvanhoofperhaps some guidelines on the wiki about sending patches?
May 04 20:37:33 harishthat also reminds us to relook at patches pending for reviews and clearing off the backlog
May 04 20:37:51 jprpvanhoof: they are on the existing site
May 04 20:37:51 NotZedit is going to be painful because bgo is so much slower than reading mails, and you must be online to do it
May 04 20:38:04 jprgood point
May 04 20:38:06 rodrigoyeah, that's another problem I see
May 04 20:38:41 jprmaybe we should discuss on e-h
May 04 20:39:07 harishyes. i suggest we thrash this out on e-h or the wiki
May 04 20:39:16 *ganesh_ has quit (Ping timeout: 600 seconds)
May 04 20:39:34 harishand gather more views on this
May 04 20:40:11 harishThe second point I wanted to discuss was about a rethink on the timing of this meeting..
May 04 20:40:25 *guenther definitely prefers mailing lists over wikis
May 04 20:40:39 nags_jpr: maybe one of us in QA team can collect the patches in bgo and sent them to hackers mailing list ?
May 04 20:40:50 NotZedguenther: well it was bugzilla over mailing list (patch)
May 04 20:40:51 harishevery week - so as to make it comfortable for most of the attendees.. i invite suggestions on this
May 04 20:41:02 rodrigo10 am india time :)
May 04 20:41:04 pvanhoof(about timing for this meeting: for me personally it's a difficult timing because at this hour I'm doing my professional tasks: non free time. Not impossible)
May 04 20:41:20 guentherNotZed: for discussing the e-p deprecation
May 04 20:41:32 NotZedguenther: oh yeah, agreed
May 04 20:41:45 ghjharish, I was the one t post to you regarding the timing, against my inital request, after I recalculated I am comfertable with this time.
May 04 20:42:31 andre_nags_: as already said, i've put the "patch" keyword on nearly every patch attached in bugzilla about two months ago, shouldn't be too hard
May 04 20:42:45 nags_andre_: Okay
May 04 20:42:52 harisharound 1500 india time makes it easier on Australia, India and Europe , i guess
May 04 20:43:15 jpr(its 8:45pm in india right now)
May 04 20:44:07 harishjpr, yes..and it shows.. none of the guys in india have spoken so far on this ;-)
May 04 20:44:17 nags_:)
May 04 20:44:36 haipit is 11:15 pm in China :)
May 04 20:44:38 NotZedwhat about 13:30 indian time?
May 04 20:44:39 varadhananything after 2:00 PM India time is good.
May 04 20:44:41 rodrigoharish: because they're hungry now, and want to go for dinner :)
May 04 20:45:01 ghjharish, Coming from Onward Novell, development for Evolution is a personal hobby, it will be difficult for non-IDC members to attend the meet.
May 04 20:45:06 jprnorth america is the issue for either
May 04 20:45:30 surfyeah 13:30 to 15:00 sometime seems to be a good time
May 04 20:45:32 harishhaip, 3pm India should be late evening in China - i guess
May 04 20:45:35 harishis that good time
May 04 20:45:48 haipI guess it is 6pm, it is ok for me.
May 04 20:45:49 ghjcurrent timing is good for me, since I am either working in office or at home. Both places I can attend the meet.
May 04 20:46:07 tmlfine with me
May 04 20:46:49 jprmmm
May 04 20:46:50 jprbeer
May 04 20:46:51 harishjpr, almost any of these times is difficult for ppl on NA
May 04 20:46:54 ghjif everyone is fine with 1500 hrs IST (India Standard Time) I can live with it.
May 04 20:46:56 jpryep
May 04 20:47:03 NotZedi suppose 6:30 is ok, i'd rather earlier.
May 04 20:47:18 chenwould like it to be at 1500
May 04 20:47:26 dhm_homewould 1500 IST be 5am EST ?
May 04 20:47:27 NotZed6:30 'home time'
May 04 20:47:42 partha13:30 - 14:00 IST sounds good enough
May 04 20:47:51 jprdhm_home: 5:30am
May 04 20:47:55 jprEDT
May 04 20:47:59 tmlwhat's that in UTC?
May 04 20:48:12 rodrigotml: now -5 hours
May 04 20:48:21 harishdhm_home, 1500 IST would be 0930 GMT
May 04 20:48:34 rodrigoright, 5.30
May 04 20:48:52 harishIST is UTC +0530 (and no daylight savings corrections ever)
May 04 20:48:52 dhm_homeso 5.30am Eastern time in uSA
May 04 20:48:54 Nat930 GMT is 3:30am in EST?
May 04 20:49:01 Natoh 5:30am EST?
May 04 20:49:06 jpryes
May 04 20:49:07 Natgood god
May 04 20:49:45 jpras noted, pick a good time for NA, europe, india, china, and .au :-)
May 04 20:49:45 andre_Nat: move to europe ;-p
May 04 20:49:53 jprwe're listening :-)
May 04 20:50:33 *dhm_home adds "work on time machine" to http://go-evolution.org/TwoFourTaskList
May 04 20:51:12 harishok...prolly this too can go on to the e-h list now
May 04 20:51:21 guentherone timezone all over the world would be so much easier...
May 04 20:51:22 tmldhm_home: there is already a bug open for that
May 04 20:51:31 harishits been a very long meeting today :-)
May 04 20:51:35 roozbehjpr: well, it's easy to pick a good time to meet those zones, the problem is making sure every hacker is up at the time general public is awake at the time ;)
May 04 20:51:56 NotZedits not really easy to pick a good time
May 04 20:52:42 harishthank you guys.. see you next week and hopefully we have concurred on the timing then
May 04 20:52:44 tmldhm_home: #171940
