[07:16] <crevette> hello 
[07:49] <dholbach> good morning
=== doko_ is now known as doko
=== dholbach_ is now known as dholbach
[14:39] <smagoun> amitk: have you talked to inuka_desk about getting the Beta 7 PSB drivers into Hardy or the PPA?
[14:39] <amitk> smagoun: not yet. It only got out last evening AFAIK
=== asac_ is now known as asac
[14:40] <amitk> smagoun: does it have something that you need very urgently?
[14:41] <smagoun> amitk: it's not urgent, but we don't want to wait 2 weeks. I'm more interested in making sure that the kernel + userspace bits go in at the same time.
[14:42] <amitk> smagoun: then I propose we wait until next week when I am in lexington and bryce has had a chance to look at the userspace bits too
[14:44] <smagoun> amitk: works for me
[15:17] <slytherin> Any core devels form bluetooth team here?
[15:24] <slytherin> Mithrandir: Can you please take a look at the .diff.gz attached to bug 190405 when you get time?
[15:24] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 190405 in bluez-gnome "please upgrade bluez-gnome to 0.18 " [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/190405
[15:27] <crevette> I think bluez-gnome should even upgrade to 0.20
[15:27] <crevette> (I'm the guy who opened the bug)
[15:27] <crevette> 0.21 even
[15:28] <crevette> I think ther a set of package to upgrade to have a nice stack, upgrade gnome-bluetooth to 0.11, obex-data-server to 0.2.0 and bluez-gnome to 0.21
[15:29] <crevette> I need to ask a MIR for obex-data-server
[15:30] <slytherin> crevette: Well, I am the one who attached the .diff.gz. :-)
[15:30] <crevette> ah yeah
[15:30] <crevette> \./
[15:31] <slytherin> crevette: Have you actually tested my .diff.gz. It will be good if more number of eyes go through it.
[15:31] <crevette> slytherin: did you look at the fedora patches ?
[15:32] <slytherin> crevette: No. DO they have 0.21?
[15:32] <crevette> slytherin: no I didn't had time, I'm working full-time and I'm only getting free time on week-ends something
[15:32] <crevette> sometime
[15:32] <slytherin> Ok. No problem
[15:32] <crevette> let me find 
[15:33] <crevette> they have a bunch of patches for bluetooth stack, there have Bastien Nocera who taking care of the bluetooth stack on fedora / rh
[15:34] <crevette> http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/bluez-gnome/devel/
[15:34] <crevette> I don't know what's the use of http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/rpms/bluez-gnome/devel/main.c?rev=1.2&view=log
[15:36] <slytherin> crevette: One of the patch is not relevant. The other looks like not very much useful. I didn't face the issue it seems to fix
[15:37] <crevette> I'm going to test your diff
[15:37] <crevette> actually I package 0.21 on my own few days ago
[15:37] <crevette> :)
[15:37] <crevette> I didn't add time to test it and push
[15:38] <crevette> but I 'm not a real packager, obex-data-server was only my 2nd package
[15:38] <crevette> :)
[15:41] <slytherin> crevette: Does it matter. I prefer preparing/testing debdiffs to packaging from scratch. :-)

[18:03] <lool> mjg59: I had a chat about pimlico with upstream and was wondering what your opinon on the current status of contacts-snapshot / contacts/hildo is?
[18:04] <lool> mjg59: I'm interested in any type of information on the topic, but one particular question I have in mind is what Ubuntu carries which upstream doesn't (the package has a large-ish .diff but seemingly with upstreamish chunks)
[18:07] <mjg59> We have a version that works with Hildon
[18:07] <mjg59> Upstream doesn't :)
[18:07] <mjg59> I need to tidy the diff up and push it to upstream
[18:11] <lool> mjg59: That would be excellent; upstream told me that libhito went forward with the openmoko port, but that hildon and vanilla were quite unmaintained
[18:11] <WeRReD> I have a windows mobile PDA, will it be possible for me to migrate to Ubuntu Mobile? 
[18:11] <mjg59> WeRReD: No
[18:12] <WeRReD> jg59: Thanks for a quick answer :) May I ask why? 
[18:12] <mjg59> Most basically, because it'll have an ARM processor and we don't have an ARM port
[18:12] <mjg59> And you'd need to port the Linux kernel to your hardware
[18:13] <WeRReD> oh I see... Thanks a lot
[18:13] <WeRReD> do you plan to create an ARM port for the system someday? 
[18:14] <mjg59> It's a possibility, but there are very few Windows Mobile devices with a working Linux kernel port
[18:14] <mjg59> And that's a great deal of work
[18:14] <WeRReD> yeah, I understand
[18:14] <WeRReD> thanks a lot!
[18:15] <suihkulokki> mjg59: ehm, there is quite a few working arm devices with a linux port..
[19:55] <bspencer> bfiller, Mithrandir  am I supposed to upload a new mobile-basic-flash to the hardy ppa every release?
[19:55] <bspencer> like the other apps?
[19:55] <bspencer> StevenK, you around?
[19:56] <bspencer> StevenK, just wondering how we can help with moko.  We could just upload the one that is working for us now until something better arrives
[19:56] <bspencer> then we could update the media app
[19:56] <bfiller> bspencer, I believe so
[19:56] <bspencer> bfiller, ok, just wasn't sure how it might conflict with you
[19:56] <bspencer> I'll do it
[19:57] <bfiller> bspencer, thanks for checking
[20:52] <tremolux> bspencer_: howdy Bob, I wanted to check in to see if you still have a plan to push the latest galculator fixes on moblin.org to the mobile PPA?
[20:53] <tremolux> bspencer_: I have a small fix to add, so once it's up there I can add it
[20:54] <bspencer_> tremolux, yes, very soon
[20:54] <bspencer_> let me ping the person I asked about it 
[20:54] <bspencer_> s/asked about/asked to do
[20:54] <tremolux> bspencer_: thx!
