[09:37] <munckfish> Hi, I have a patch which re-enables fullscreen mode in Java on Xorg server 1.3+.
[09:37] <munckfish> Although the freeze is on Hardy, I wondered if it was likely that I'd get it in to the openjdk package at this stage
[09:38] <munckfish> I'm a bit short of time this month but if it's likely to get included, I'll try to find time to add it in.
[09:38] <munckfish> Patch is on upstream java2d mailing list attached to this post:
[09:39] <munckfish> http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/2d-dev/2008-January/000129.html
[09:41] <munckfish> The stuff about mouse problems can be safely ignore - they went away once I stopped using the Gutsy LiveCD and updated xorg
[09:44] <munckfish> anyway, tdv (Dmitri T) has been testing it and seems happy with it
[09:46] <munckfish> It fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sun-java6/+bug/154613
[09:47] <munckfish> doko: you're the current maintainer right?
[09:56] <doko> munckfish: thanks, could you close the report for openjdk? I think it is `wontfix' for icedtea in gutsy unless somebody adds a patch and starts the sru process for gutsy
[09:57] <doko> ahh, you already did write this =)
[10:05] <munckfish> umm
[10:05] <munckfish> Hi doko, what do you mean close for openjdk?
[10:05] <munckfish> I hadn't got around to connecting that bug
[10:05] <munckfish> to the new openjdk package source in LP
[10:05] <munckfish> :) I was just trying to remember how to connect it
[10:06] <munckfish> Yes I don't think it's worth worry about IcedTea/gutsy
[10:06] <munckfish> at the moment
[10:49] <munckfish> doko: I don't have perms to set "Won't Fix" for IcedTea
[10:51] <munckfish> doko: let me know what you want to do (or not) about it. Cheers
[11:59] <Mez> doko, I guess you got it sorted then ? :P
[13:02] <doko> munckfish: done
[13:04] <doko> munckfish: ohh, didn't reload the page, if you do want to backport that, then maybe I should reopen the report
[13:04] <munckfish> Hi doko
[13:05] <munckfish> I'm not bothered about backporting
[13:05] <munckfish> I'm running against a custom openjdk build on gutsy
[13:05] <munckfish> I'll be upgrading immediately on hardy release
[13:05] <munckfish> so lets wait and see if anyone wants the backport
[13:06] <doko> munckfish: is the patch technically accepted by upstream?
[13:06] <munckfish> I believe so
[13:06] <munckfish> Dmitri had tested on hardy himself
[13:07] <munckfish> I think the only thing outstanding for him was testing on solaris
[13:07] <doko> ok, I'll try to get it in
[13:07] <munckfish> I'll find you the relevant mail
[13:07] <munckfish> so you can be sure
[13:08] <munckfish> http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/2d-dev/2008-February/000147.html
[13:08] <munckfish> He's been 'preparing' it for inclusion for a wee while now
[13:08] <munckfish> but in the mail he advocates passing it to Icedtea project
[13:10] <munckfish> doko: on the way I've checked with various people including Xorg f
[13:10] <munckfish> Xorg folk
[13:10] <munckfish> and this seems to be the correct approach for post 1.3 X servers
[13:10] <doko> ok
[13:11] <munckfish> Do you recommend I open a bug on IcedTea bugzilla and then make noise on a mailing list?
[13:12] <munckfish> To be honest there's so many different lists and trackers I wasn't quite sure how best to efficiently advance the patch
[13:12] <munckfish> down from upstream
[13:12] <munckfish> :
[13:12] <munckfish> :(
[13:15] <munckfish> doko: thanks for for considering it. Let me know if you run out of time and need me to make up a debdiff or something
[13:18] <doko> munckfish: a ChangeLog entry would be nice =)
[13:19] <munckfish> Aha ok
[13:19] <munckfish> Shall I attach it to the bug?
[13:22] <doko> sure, or paste it here
[13:24] <munckfish> doko: how about this:
[13:25] <munckfish> * Make Java Full Screen Exclusive Mode work again with Xorg Server 1.3 and above. LP: #154613 (Java bug 6636469).
[13:25] <munckfish> Or do you want more detail?
[13:26] <doko> ok
[13:30] <munckfish> doko: do you need anything else from me now? If not I'll be away for about an hour then I'll be avail to assist again.
[13:34] <doko> munckfish: no, won't do that now.
[13:34] <munckfish> doko: thx speak later
