IRC Team Meeting - January 26, 2011

Jan 26 10:29 <chen> Lets get started..

Jan 26 10:30 <chen> small reminder on API/ABI, Feature freeze  and 2.91.6 release coming up on Jan 31

Jan 26 10:30 <chen> mbarnes, it would be nice if you can take over on discussing gtk3 front..

Jan 26 10:31 <mbarnes> sure.  basically with mcrha and lakhil's consent, I'd like to merge the gtk3 branches today

Jan 26 10:32 <mbarnes> so they get wider testing before we get too close to code freeze

Jan 26 10:32 <mbarnes> this of course means we'll be dropping support for gtk2

Jan 26 10:33 *chen waits for mcrha and lakhil to pitch in :)

Jan 26 10:33 *mcrha is fine with the merge

Jan 26 10:33 <lakhil> There was some problem in gtk3 build in my system so i was getting unexpected crashes. But after building sources from scratch, it seems to be working fine

Jan 26 10:33 *jpunit (~punit@122.179.93.239) has joined #evolution-meet

Jan 26 10:34 <chen> hey jpunit

Jan 26 10:34 <lakhil> but i haven't got enough time to execute all sanity test cases. At present i don't see any blocker bug which will be blocking us to merge the branch in master

Jan 26 10:34 <jpunit> hey chen.. was having dinner

Jan 26 10:34 <chen> mbarnes, both have give a green :)

Jan 26 10:34 <mbarnes> okay, I'll go ahead with it then after the meeting

Jan 26 10:35 <chen> jpunit, u had just made it in time :)

Jan 26 10:35 <chen> mbarnes, fine

Jan 26 10:35 <mbarnes> the commits that get merged will look a bit different than what's on the branch now

Jan 26 10:35 <mcrha> mbarnes, will be the gtk3 branches dropped immediately after the merge?

Jan 26 10:35 <mbarnes> I've cleaned them up and reorganized them so it's easier to see what changed

Jan 26 10:35 <jpunit> chen .. good thanks vibs for reminding ..

Jan 26 10:35 <mbarnes> especially wrt to cairo drawing

Jan 26 10:35 <chen> ok

Jan 26 10:36 <mbarnes> mcrha: I was gonna wait a day just to be safe

Jan 26 10:36 <mcrha> mbarnes, it reminded me, I reverted my 'save_matrix' patch today, or at least part I found and which left. Please remove it, when you have patches ready

Jan 26 10:36 <vibs> jpunit: anytime ;)

Jan 26 10:36 <mcrha> ok, a day sounds good

Jan 26 10:36 <mcrha> or safely on monday release

Jan 26 10:37 <chen> to update on the ews front in which mostly myself and abharath had been focusing on,

Jan 26 10:37 <chen> mail fetching is complete

Jan 26 10:37 <chen> the summaries are getting updated on all folders and mail fetching is possible.

Jan 26 10:38 <chen> The readonly support for calendar will be ready by end of this week

Jan 26 10:38 <chen> and then we would be moving on with write support along with working in upstream bugs..

Jan 26 10:38 <chen> http://git.infradead.org/evolution-ews.git  - has the updates..

Jan 26 10:39 <chen> there might a person named,

Jan 26 10:39 <chen> Pavel Ocheretny who would be working on ews front soon

Jan 26 10:39 <lakhil> chen, so are we targeting ews for Evolution 3.2 ?

Jan 26 10:39 <chen> he is from intel and i heard that dwmw2_gone is guiding him through evolution builds..

Jan 26 10:40 <chen> lakhil, yes

Jan 26 10:40 <chen> lakhil, for 3.0, it would be readonly support

Jan 26 10:40 <lakhil> chen, i meant will we be merging code in master ?

Jan 26 10:40 <chen> lakhil, yes

Jan 26 10:41 <lakhil> ok

Jan 26 10:41 <chen> lakhil, its anyway a plugin

Jan 26 10:41 <abharath> chen: I think he meant more from mcrha's concern about how we would merge it, as a separate package etc, because to have a new module you need 2 official releases done

Jan 26 10:41 <chen> its hackweek in Novell and jpunit/vibs are working out some ideas. I was asked to continue with ews and so continuing the same :)

Jan 26 10:42 <chen> abharath, vibs is working on it with evolution-groupwise package

Jan 26 10:42 <chen> and we would be merging the ews there..

Jan 26 10:42 <chen> that includes updates from my side as well..

Jan 26 10:42 <mcrha> into groupwise?

Jan 26 10:42 <jpunit> chen: evolution-groupware :)

Jan 26 10:43 <chen> mcrha, yes, groupwise will be removed from evolution/eds

Jan 26 10:43 <chen> i hope vibs has already removed it ?

Jan 26 10:43 *mcrha thought there were more people against one package, the groupware one

Jan 26 10:43 <chen> mcrha, its more of re-organization of the code..

Jan 26 10:43 <vibs> chen: I haven't removed it yet .... but created evolution-groupware

Jan 26 10:44 <chen> mcrha, it was otherwise :)

Jan 26 10:44 <abharath> ok sorry :) but we are going ahead with evolution-groupware, and all providers as part of it?

Jan 26 10:44 <chen> abharath, yup

Jan 26 10:44 <abharath> I missed a few discussions sorry

Jan 26 10:44 <abharath> chen: ok

Jan 26 10:44 <mcrha> I do not think you can add new package/product into gnome in this stage, can you?

Jan 26 10:45 <chen> mcrha, i think we can, let me check again though

Jan 26 10:45 <chen> mcrha, and its not a new package anyway as its just a code re-org

Jan 26 10:45 *mcrha makes a note to check meeting archives to ensure the polling ended with a green for the one product for all.

Jan 26 10:46 <mcrha> well, it depends. what will be the bugzilla product?

Jan 26 10:46 <chen> the package name - evolution-groupware

Jan 26 10:46 <chen> and the providers specific bugs can be tagged

Jan 26 10:47 <mcrha> and you want to move under it all ema and eex bugs, together with gw bugs? it'll be a very nice mess, isn't it?

Jan 26 10:47 <mbarnes> the bugzilla components should be the provider names

Jan 26 10:48 <mbarnes> and I guess you can kiss mail/calendar/etc divisions goodbye

Jan 26 10:48 <chen> mcrha, anyways its kind of having imap/caldav bugs in a single component

Jan 26 10:48 <chen> such as eds

Jan 26 10:48 <mcrha> yeah, kind of pity, though should work too

Jan 26 10:49 <chen> mcrha, so we already have it that way, we can have specific components,

Jan 26 10:49 <chen> groupwise, ews etc. prolly

Jan 26 10:49 <chen> under once product name

Jan 26 10:49 <mcrha> chen, yup, but those are minor, one part centric, not involving all the parts of evo

Jan 26 10:49 <mcrha> nonetheless, let's get use to it :)

Jan 26 10:50 <chen> :)

Jan 26 10:50 <chen> anything else before we move on to individual updates?

Jan 26 10:50 *mbarnes floats the suggestion of a 2.32.2 release on Feb 7 (the Monday after 2.91.6 release)

Jan 26 10:51 <chen> mbarnes, am fine with it

Jan 26 10:51 <chen> abharath, updates?

Jan 26 10:51 <lakhil> that will be last supported version with gtk2 :)

Jan 26 10:51 <chen> yeah :)

Jan 26 10:51 <chen> dwmw2_gone, anything to share?

Jan 26 10:52 <chen> hggdh, anything to share?

Jan 26 10:52 <mcrha> mbarnes, yup, sounds good

Jan 26 10:52 <abharath> chen: first half on EWS, now mostly on internal work. Will be back to EWS and gtk3 bugs next

Jan 26 10:52 <chen> abharath, thanks

Jan 26 10:52 <chen> jpunit, updates?

Jan 26 10:53 <chen> kov, anything to share?

Jan 26 10:53 <chen> lakhil, updates?

Jan 26 10:53 <hggdh> chen: on my side, no, except there is not yet a position if we will go Gnome3 or not

Jan 26 10:53 <jpunit> Hi all .. i worked on express like one step account setup merge into evolution

Jan 26 10:53 <hggdh> (chances are not)

Jan 26 10:53 <lakhil> chen, master and gtk3 testing and bug triaging, usual work

Jan 26 10:53 <chen> hggdh, lets see :)

Jan 26 10:54 <hggdh> :-)

Jan 26 10:54 <chen> lakhil, thanks

Jan 26 10:54 <chen> jpunit, thanks, hope you are on hackweek with some idea :)

Jan 26 10:54 <jpunit> and also working on twitter support in evolution during this heckweek

Jan 26 10:54 <chen> mbarnes, updates?

Jan 26 10:54 <mbarnes> I've been logging my status to evo-hackers, not much more to add

Jan 26 10:54 <mbarnes> recap: keyfile-based ESources coming along, address books done, starting on calendars

Jan 26 10:54 <chen> jpunit, nice :)

Jan 26 10:55 <chen> mbarnes, thanks!!

Jan 26 10:55 <chen> mcrha, updates?

Jan 26 10:55 <chen> Muelli, anything to share?

Jan 26 10:55 <chen> vibs, updates?

Jan 26 10:55 <mcrha> playing with bugs on gtk3 branches, somehow, then couple other bugs from all around the ... world...

Jan 26 10:56 <chen> mcrha, thanks, will join you guys from next week once i get the read-only thing in ews working

Jan 26 10:56 <chen> vibs, updateS?

Jan 26 10:56 <chen> xtian, updates?

Jan 26 10:56 <xtian> regarding evolution-kolab, the evo<->kolab data conversion is almost complete. the modified imapx provider (kolab2) is working (excludes kolab pim folder from the view using annotatemore-imap-extension)

Jan 26 10:56 <vibs> chen: yuppp ... was onto gtk3 branch and then moved into evolution-groupware

Jan 26 10:57 <vibs> and mostly was on leave

Jan 26 10:57 <chen> xtian, nice to hear that :)

Jan 26 10:57 <xtian> we're now raising evolution-kolab backend infrastructure. funstuff, running kolab2 imap provider in the backends... :-)

Jan 26 10:57 <chen> vibs, thanks

Jan 26 10:58 <chen> xtian, :)

Jan 26 10:58 <chen> xtian, if you give a test account and i would give it a try too :)

Jan 26 10:58 <xtian> mimicking evo frontend in the backend, that's fun. :-) we should be able to run the calendar backend by the end of the month

Jan 26 10:58 <chen> calendar backend would be interesting :)

Jan 26 10:59 <chen> anything else from anyone?

Jan 26 10:59 <xtian> chen: right now, there's  no package, you'll have to build and move the parts into right places manually. the autotools env is still somewhat messy

Jan 26 10:59 <chen> xtian, oh ok

Jan 26 11:00 <xtian> (i.e. it still installs stuff which does not need to be installed, cleanup & love needed :)

Jan 26 11:00 <mcrha> xtian, end of this month? ;)

Jan 26 11:00 <chen> :)

Jan 26 11:00 <xtian> we should have packages available by mid of march (roughly)

Jan 26 11:00 <chen> mcrha, that was nice question :)
