19:40:06 hi guys! 19:40:10 hi angeloc 19:40:11 popey: Oranger is the only active developer atm, and he said he couldn't make it 19:40:20 oh, he popped in earlier 19:40:29 hi angeloc 19:41:21 hi 19:41:29 hi VladimirMoolle 19:41:39 So do we have any progress to report? 19:41:43 and Oranger is the guy who did what I sort of was to do, right? 19:41:50 are you guys both here for the document viewer? 19:41:57 we have a plain text viewer it seems. 19:42:03 yeh; quite nice of him, actually :) 19:42:04 https://code.launchpad.net/~chocanto/ubuntu-docviewer-app/plainText/+merge/159440 19:42:51 popey: that branch completes the 3 work items for month-0 19:42:57 i'm rally sorry not being so active 19:43:09 yep, I've read the code yestreday 19:43:32 i had some problems with my job last few weeks, I hope they are gone 19:43:36 angeloc: don't worry about it, we understand that community time is community time 19:43:49 so, what do we do after it is approved/merged 19:44:16 some other doc formats, or styling stuff? 19:44:32 we need to get the package-fixes branch merged too, then we need to make the debian/rules file generate the ubuntu-docviewer-app binary when it builds the package 19:44:52 i think i missed something, is there a roadmap with features to implementd sorted in a timely or difficulty fashion 19:44:59 ? 19:45:03 20:36:53 < popey> blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone-commons/+spec/initial-docviewer-development 19:45:09 thats smth that we -- me angelo need to do? 19:45:10 just before you arrived I posted that link angeloc 19:45:12 Oranger had to write a C++ wrapper, instead of this project using qmlscene, in order to parse command line args and pass them on to QML 19:45:31 yep, exactly as we talked about last time 19:45:50 VladimirMoolle: angeloc: If you guys are familiar with deb packaging enough to do that, I'd appreciate your help 19:46:11 well, I'm honestly sort of scared of that 19:46:19 but could try nonetheless 19:46:43 not knowing your tools / env is a bad thing 19:46:58 VladimirMoolle: we can get some expert help from some folks too 19:47:19 ok, then let me try 19:47:20 but I don't think this is going to be too difficult 19:48:07 if you run "qmake ./launcher/src/docviewer-launcher.pro && make" that should create the binary file 19:48:29 so we just need debuild to do that, which means putting it in debian/rules *somewhere*, I'm just not sure where 19:48:40 ok then\ 19:48:41 ok then 19:48:52 oops, not skype :) 19:49:14 we also need to figure out how to tell the desktop shell that it should use this app when opening text/plain files 19:49:43 mhall119, not so strong with packaging but I made it in the past 19:49:49 once that's done, then the ubuntu-filemanager-app should, in theory, be able to open text files in ubuntu-docviewer-app 19:50:20 angeloc: VladimirMoolle: if you need help, I'm just a ping away, and I know folks who know how to do it, I can call in a favor 19:50:24 looks like one better sets up a VM for that; unless he wants to ruin his system, right? 19:50:31 ok 19:50:46 VladimirMoolle: building it shouldn't do anythign with your system 19:51:06 yes, but installing it, and tweaking the shell -- ? 19:51:28 well, I think it just registers itself as being able to handle that mimetype 19:51:45 and if nothing else is registered to handle it, then it's the one that should be used 19:52:05 mhall119, i'm really intrested in helping with coding, but i had to figure out the framework before starting to do something serious ... 19:52:15 angeloc: which framework? 19:53:13 mhall119, sorry, I mean ubuntu phone sdk 19:53:29 ah, ok 19:53:38 angeloc: are you already familiar with QML? 19:56:41 popey: so for -month-1, I'd like to get at least the packaging working, and maybe another filetype supported 19:57:00 lets aim at pdf may be? 19:57:08 images might be better 19:57:08 at least its heavy 19:57:32 ok 19:57:35 images should be easier I'd imagine 19:57:38 png/jpg 19:57:43 right now there's no way to read files in QML 19:57:53 yes, but will not demonstrate the early design errors 19:57:55 but for images, you could pass a file path url to the Image component 19:58:14 well, we eill need file system access anyway 19:58:23 I suppose if you had a C++ component for PDF that takes a file path, that would work too 19:58:28 I though that may be SDK offers that 19:58:36 VladimirMoolle: not yet, not in QML 19:59:04 Image component can already take a URL, so it is probably the easiest to implement at this point 19:59:14 yes, true 19:59:56 popey: have we gotten feedback from security and desktop teams on including muPDF in a default install? 20:00:07 i dont think so 20:00:15 no 20:00:34 then lets target images for -month-1 milestone then 20:00:39 along with getting the package working 20:00:45 ok 20:00:53 that should be enough to get this app included in the touch preview images 20:01:17 * popey updates blueprint 20:02:35 \o/ looks like jenkins is back on the job 20:02:43 great.. 20:02:51 ok, we're over time guys. lets wrap up. 20:03:04 looking forward to opening pictures of kittens on my Ubuntu device! 20:03:07 mhall119, yes, i use qml professionally, but have not found enough time to setup dev env and make experiments 20:03:30 angeloc: you can find me almost any time in #ubuntu-touch and I can help 20:03:33 angeloc: when you get some time, and you get any issues, feel free to ping myself or mhall119 with questions 20:03:48 popey, sure! 20:03:57 ok, lets wrap, thanks guys 20:04:00 #endmeeting Generated by MeetBot 0.1.5 (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/meetingology)
