Evolution Team Meeting - October 7, 2009

Oct 07 12:05 <chen> Lets get started in another minute and have a small discussion to know whats happening and moving further with coming releases

Oct 07 12:06 <mcrha> "releases", hmm

Oct 07 12:07 <chen> mcrha, yup we have 2.28.1 and 29.1 coming this month

Oct 07 12:07 *mcrha was hoping in the upcoming year forecast :)

Oct 07 12:07 <abharath> ;)

Oct 07 12:08 <chen> lol step by step

Oct 07 12:08 <chen> as we all know dbus calendar has been merged now

Oct 07 12:08 <mcrha> yeah, one big step, then few small steps

Oct 07 12:09 <chen> and i would like lakhil to play a major part in bringing the major bugs during every meeting

Oct 07 12:09 <chen> and we can share the bugs among us assigning and making sure the issues are fixed before the release

Oct 07 12:09 <lakhil> chen, i keep sharing in irc daily ... though i will try to prepare one for meeting

Oct 07 12:10 *mcrha noticed flood of those yesterday

Oct 07 12:10 <chen> prolly we can discuss over bugs like https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557613

Oct 07 12:10 <chen> to ensure they are fixed on time

Oct 07 12:11 <chen> lakhil, bring it to light and discussing it would make sure these go in before the release

Oct 07 12:11 <lakhil> yeah, sure

Oct 07 12:11 <chen> lakhil, would be great if you have a list before us during these meetings :)

Oct 07 12:11 <chen> mcrha, and coming on patch reviews,

Oct 07 12:11 <chen> know there are lot of ur patches waiting on the same

Oct 07 12:12 <mcrha> actually, i changes a strategy slightly

Oct 07 12:12 <chen> mcrha, can all the patches which are straight forward or if your confident on the fixes be committed directly ?

Oct 07 12:12 <chen> and consult on the fixes where you have some doubt..

Oct 07 12:13 <mcrha> I attach patches for "test or review", if reporter can try the patch and says ok, then I commit

Oct 07 12:13 <mcrha> chen, yup, i can do that, I was hoping in starting with that on January, though

Oct 07 12:14 <chen> mcrha, oh why ?

Oct 07 12:14 <chen> mcrha, prolly you can attach the patch marking it as committed right away

Oct 07 12:14 <mcrha> just for fun of attaching patches to bugzilla.

Oct 07 12:14 <mcrha> does it worth it?

Oct 07 12:14 <chen> mcrha, and the left ones means that they are requiring some review comment

Oct 07 12:14 <chen> mcrha, don think so

Oct 07 12:15 <mcrha> 'don' ~~ don't?

Oct 07 12:15 <chen> ok don't :)

Oct 07 12:15 <mcrha> just clarifying a meaning.

Oct 07 12:16 <mcrha> I do not think it worth it too, the commit ID should be enough there

Oct 07 12:16 <chen> mcrha, i would say testing from the reporter is fine, but commit it if you feel the approach taken is correct

Oct 07 12:16 <chen> mcrha, agree

Oct 07 12:16 <mcrha> you know the code will be quite different when you allow me to commit without asking, right?

Oct 07 12:17 <chen> mcrha, well we have all spent enough time to make a judgement whether the approach is right or wrong

Oct 07 12:17 <chen> and of-course having a review is always better, but considering the ammount of people we have now

Oct 07 12:17 <chen> we will not be able to follow the same style

Oct 07 12:18 <mcrha> right, that's a bad thing (low human resources)

Oct 07 12:19 <chen> mcrha, so if you have patches,

Oct 07 12:19 <chen> which are on the above category commit them!

Oct 07 12:19 <chen> i mean for the patches right now in the bugzilla as well

Oct 07 12:19 *mcrha is wondering how chen means 'if' :)

Oct 07 12:20 <lakhil> :D

Oct 07 12:20 <abharath> :D

Oct 07 12:20 *chen leaves the rest to mcrha :)

Oct 07 12:20 <mcrha> patches in bugzilla, I miss the user statistic page there

Oct 07 12:21 <lakhil> mcrha, now it's added back

Oct 07 12:21 <abharath> haha and lakhil the points page :D

Oct 07 12:21 <chen> lol

Oct 07 12:21 <lakhil> all are back :D

Oct 07 12:21 <mcrha> chen, I'll go the safe side, killing master only

Oct 07 12:21 <abharath> aah :D

Oct 07 12:21 <abharath> mcrha: lol

Oct 07 12:21 <mcrha> lakhil, is the statistics page back?

Oct 07 12:21 <abharath> you the one who has to save the killing :D

Oct 07 12:21 <chen> mcrha, ok, hold it on stable as well by ur judgement

Oct 07 12:21 <lakhil> mcrha, yep

Oct 07 12:22 <mcrha> lakhil, good, let me look how I stand for past few weeks ;)

Oct 07 12:22 <chen> to update what i have been doing,

Oct 07 12:22 <mcrha> chen, yeah, stable is a different story

Oct 07 12:23 <lakhil> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=weekly-bug-summary.html

Oct 07 12:23 <chen> committed the imapx initial stuff to master and cooked a patch for ebook issue

Oct 07 12:23 <chen> perhaps feel it has to be combined with mcrha's patch

Oct 07 12:23 <chen> on keeping open ebook's in memory

Oct 07 12:23 <chen> mcrha, i felt that the open ebooks can be kept in memory somewhere so that all components in evo can access them

Oct 07 12:24 <lakhil> mcrha, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/page.cgi?id=describeuser.html&login=mcrha... :)

Oct 07 12:24 <chen> mcrha, would that be good ?

Oct 07 12:25 <chen> would have to start more on imapx/dbus and issues in master

Oct 07 12:25 <mcrha> chen, with the actual concept, only shell would do that, and that shouldn't look on address books at all

Oct 07 12:25 <mcrha> lakhil, I see :)

Oct 07 12:25 <chen> abharath, what were u upto last week?

Oct 07 12:25 <abharath> chen: looking into the libmapi issue for now. before that the windows installers http://www.gnome.org/~pchen/bharath_windows_installers/

Oct 07 12:25 <chen> mcrha, should be possible atleast for mailer right?

Oct 07 12:26 <abharath> 2.28 maybe I'll make an installer for that by this weekend

Oct 07 12:26 <mcrha> chen, yup, there's a patch for maler already, I updated it some time ago, on your request

Oct 07 12:26 <chen> mcrha, keeping book's in memory just for one purpose may not be optimal isn it?

Oct 07 12:26 <chen> mcrha, will go through it again

Oct 07 12:27 <abharath> and there's that bug on MAPI GAL which needs to be fixed now. I'll get you the bug details

Oct 07 12:27 <chen> mcrha, somehow feel we really just open the book syncronously and so allocating the struct contents in heap is just a work-around

Oct 07 12:27 <chen> mcrha, if the operation is not cancellable

Oct 07 12:27 <mcrha> chen, they are there for two, one is for faces, other for image loading

Oct 07 12:27 <lakhil> abharath, https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595480

Oct 07 12:27 <chen> mcrha, need to look at traces more to see if threading should be done somewhere else

Oct 07 12:28 <mcrha> chen, let's discuss that after the meeting, it's quite low in the code now

Oct 07 12:28 <chen> abharath, fine

Oct 07 12:28 <abharath> chen: cool thanks

Oct 07 12:28 <chen> abharath, let me know the bug on the build_cache and i can have a look at that since ur fully booked

Oct 07 12:28 <chen> mcrha, sure

Oct 07 12:28 <abharath> chen: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=595480

Oct 07 12:29 <chen> lakhil, anything to share?

Oct 07 12:29 <lakhil> chen, hard time with master .. found many crashes due to calendar-dbus changes ...all are getting logged in bugzilla

Oct 07 12:29 <lakhil> thanks to mcrha for his quick responses :)

Oct 07 12:29 <chen> lakhil, with the white-board status ?

Oct 07 12:30 *chen is yet to look into the bugs, have not looked into them last couple of days

Oct 07 12:30 <lakhil> chen, http://tinyurl.com/yaeahsx

Oct 07 12:30 <chen> thanks

Oct 07 12:30 <chen> mcrha, anything to share?

Oct 07 12:31 <mcrha> not much, I think. You probably noticed eex back in live, though some troubles arises, which are question for fix

Oct 07 12:31 <abharath> I know mcrha feels too bad when chen say words like anything and if, but he doesn't mean that :)

Oct 07 12:31 <lakhil> :)

Oct 07 12:31 <chen> lakhil, from next meeting would leave the floor to you while we start the meeting and we can pick up the issues

Oct 07 12:31 <mcrha> abharath, :))

Oct 07 12:32 <lakhil> chen, :)

Oct 07 12:32 <chen> ah don mean it in that sense :)

Oct 07 12:33 <chen> am also little bit bad in english, maybe will improve it going further :)

Oct 07 12:33 <chen> lakhil, don movie ? :)

Oct 07 12:33 <chen> ah ok ok :)

Oct 07 12:34 <chen> so any concerns from anyone ?

Oct 07 12:34 <lakhil> please have a look at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=594379 for imapx or irrespective of that :)

Oct 07 12:34 <chen> lakhil, sure

Oct 07 12:35 *mcrha is wondering who the Colin Walters is

Oct 07 12:35 <chen> lakhil, how about imap keyword for these bugs ?

Oct 07 12:35 <lakhil> chen, nope .. we have 90% bugs on imap :P

Oct 07 12:35 <chen> ok :)
