IRC Team Meeting - July 15, 2009

Jul 15 06:12 <chen_> ok lets get started!

Jul 15 06:12 <chen_> As all of you are aware the freezes have started

Jul 15 06:13 <chen_> #evolution channels topics lists them and beware while committing string/ui changes and make sure its announced

Jul 15 06:13 <chen_> we are currently looked for the following works getting into the coming release 2.27.5,

Jul 15 06:13 <chen_> Calendar cache rewrite,

Jul 15 06:13 <chen_> GSoc patches getting merged (am testing/reviewing them),

Jul 15 06:13 *jony has quit (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))

Jul 15 06:14 <chen_> just got the missing files from stanislav on monday

Jul 15 06:14 <chen_> eds-dbus port for address-book

Jul 15 06:14 <chen_> i have tested it partially and everything seems to work fine for file backend,

Jul 15 06:14 *jony (~jjohnny@ecoprobe-dmz.gns.novell.com) has joined #evolution-meet

Jul 15 06:14 *EvaSDK (~eva@APuteaux-552-1-6-16.w92-132.abo.wanadoo.fr) has joined #evolution-meet

Jul 15 06:14 <chen_> we still have problems with authenticated backends like,

Jul 15 06:14 <chen_> exchange, google, groupwise

Jul 15 06:15 <chen_> jony has offered his helping hands for getting those fixed :)

Jul 15 06:15 <jony> :) i'll put some effort there . thanks chen ..

Jul 15 06:15 <chen_> I have been in touch with ross on these and we are getting some fixes around that

Jul 15 06:15 <chen_> I have tested evolution with the sqlite version, sqlite-3.6.16 around more than a week now and see no issues, will be updating minimum version required in jhbuild and dependency in live.gnome.org today.

Jul 15 06:16 <jony> cool.

Jul 15 06:16 <chen_> Will be getting the pending patches reviewed. Iam primarily looking at GSoc optimization patches, google calendar replaced by caldav

Jul 15 06:16 <seb128> will that make google calendars work correctly? ;-)

Jul 15 06:16 <chen_> yes :)

Jul 15 06:16 <chen_> and am waiting for mcrha to make a feature parity :)

Jul 15 06:17 <mcrha> just done

Jul 15 06:17 <chen_> am currently making a .1 release for evolution,

Jul 15 06:17 <chen_> in order to get around the g_umount* api break

Jul 15 06:17 <seb128> how come you guys manage to roll tarballs which don't build btw?

Jul 15 06:17 <jony> chen_: you would probably have to ping fredp .

Jul 15 06:18 <seb128> it's not a break it's just a deprecated symbol and you use the build option to not use those

Jul 15 06:18 <chen_> seb128, so does it really require a .1 release then ?

Jul 15 06:19 <seb128> well I'm not member of the r-t but I guess it would be better if you want it to build on GNOME 2.27

Jul 15 06:19 <chen_> right, anyways i have made the tarballs :)

Jul 15 06:19 <chen_> i will be releasing it once lakhil tests it

Jul 15 06:19 <seb128> tarballs? several of those?

Jul 15 06:19 <chen_> thats all from my end..

Jul 15 06:20 <chen_> sorry its just evolution tarball

Jul 15 06:20 <seb128> ok good

Jul 15 06:20 <chen_> lets go around the room now to get more updates,

Jul 15 06:20 <chen_> andre, anything to share ?

Jul 15 06:20 <andre> no

Jul 15 06:21 <chen_> abharath, how was guadec experience ? :)

Jul 15 06:25 <chen_> mcrha, nice!!

Jul 15 06:25 <mcrha> otherwise, hmm, I do not recall anything significant deserving mentioning here

Jul 15 06:25 <mcrha> chen_, I'm not sure if you asked for such thing, though

Jul 15 06:25 <chen_> seb128, any updates or concerns ?

Jul 15 06:27 <mcrha> to have chen_ to do something

Jul 15 06:27 <mcrha> ;)

Jul 15 06:27 *chen_ liked the calendar fixes on displaying today and changing the current day automatically :)

Jul 15 06:28 <mcrha> 'liked'

Jul 15 06:28 <chen_> today in different color :)

Jul 15 06:28 <chen_> anything else from anyone to be discussed?

Jul 15 06:28 <mcrha> when is the branch planned?

Jul 15 06:28 <mcrha> if at all

Jul 15 06:28 <jony> after .5 ?

Jul 15 06:29 <chen_> ah yeah, we will be branching immediately after feature freeze,

Jul 15 06:29 <chen_> yes ..5

Jul 15 06:29 <mcrha> ok, that's the time when kb and dbus work will be erged into the master, right?

Jul 15 06:29 <mcrha> *merged

Jul 15 06:30 <chen_> mcrha, am not sure whether its going to be immediately merged,

Jul 15 06:30 <jony> chen_: let me know the changes needed for the cal cache work .. i would have to fix for mapi.

Jul 15 06:30 <chen_> i will anyway leave the call to mbarnes|away depending on the stability of the code

Jul 15 06:30 <chen_> jony, sure

Jul 15 06:30 <mcrha> aha, ok, I see, +/- a day

Jul 15 06:30 <chen_> yeah maybe, afaik calendar had problems,

Jul 15 06:31 <chen_> we need have some basic stability while merging

Jul 15 06:31 <mcrha> chen_, the cache, it will not be transparent?

Jul 15 06:31 <mcrha> stability is for beginners

Jul 15 06:31 <chen_> mcrha, jony just wanted an overview of changes, things are already there

Jul 15 06:31 *jony new to EDS :)

Jul 15 06:32 <mcrha> chen_, yup, noticed some commits there

Jul 15 06:32 <chen_> mcrha, anything else ? :)

Jul 15 06:32 <mcrha> chen_, what about the bugzilla clearing/maintaining/... we talked few days ago about?

Jul 15 06:32 <chen_> i will be testing more and migrating all the backends to the new cache next week

Jul 15 06:33 <mcrha> be carefull with caldav chen_, I'll be wathing you ;)

Jul 15 06:33 <chen_> mcrha, yeah, had been bogged a bit by some sle fixes, will be starting a thread in e-h list,

Jul 15 06:33 <mcrha> *watching

Jul 15 06:33 <chen_> in a day or two

Jul 15 06:33 <chen_> mcrha, :)

Jul 15 06:33 <mcrha> no hurry with this, believe

Jul 15 06:33 <chen_> yeah, this is just to kick start a discussion :)

Jul 15 06:34 <mcrha> hopefully will have some gain from it, as the work itself will require much man/lady-power

Jul 15 06:34 <chen_> So then lets meet next week with more updates and interesting stuffs :)

Jul 15 06:35 <chen_> hmm :)

Jul 15 06:35 <jony> thanks ... and later ..
