15:32 <seb128> #topic didrocks
15:32 <seb128> didrocks, hey
15:32 <didrocks> hey
15:32 <didrocks> * Add blog post about Ubuntu Make as a classic snap (part 3), and amend with recent badges + build.snapcraft.io small issues reported as bugs.
15:32 <didrocks> * Reviewed and merged some fixes blocking the archive and snap badge support.
15:32 <didrocks> * Debugged and fixed some nautilus bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1706542
15:32 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1706542 in nautilus (Ubuntu) "Can only launch Nautilus once in GNOME shell" [Undecided,Fix released]
15:32 <didrocks> * GUADEC: attend conference and some unconferences days. Set up and talk about our plan regarding 17.10
15:32 <didrocks> * Wrote those plans on https://didrocks.fr/2017/08/03/ubuntu--guadec-2017-and-plans-for-gnome-shell-migration/. Got a lot of overall good feedbacks on the french forum, blog post and popular websites like omgubuntu. Answered and tracked them.
15:32 <didrocks> * Change the "sound above 100%" strategy for being clearer to our users after some discussions at GUADEC, implemented it in a desktop-agnostic way as well. Will try to push it upstream.
15:32 <didrocks> * Plan for next week blog posts on our GNOME Shell plans and preparing technical work for it (ongoing this week).
15:33 <didrocks> * Multiple tests per-desktop settings, which worked on the second attempt. Reported feedback upstream.
15:33 <didrocks> * Did some override keys cleanups, more to come with per-desktop cleanups (in progress).
15:33 <didrocks> .
15:33 <seb128> thanks didrocks, nice work and great GUADEC :-)

15:34 <seb128> #topic duflu
15:34 <seb128> * Video acceleration:
15:34 <seb128> - More work on gstreamer-vaapi corruption+performance on Wayland:
15:34 <seb128> . https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=740753
15:34 <seb128> . Proposed a third version of the patch.
15:34 <seb128> . Updated PPA: https://launchpad.net/~vanvugt/+archive/ubuntu/videoaccel
15:34 <ubot5> Gnome bug 740753 in gstreamer-vaapi "vaapisink: add support for EGL" [Enhancement,New]
15:34 <seb128> . Finally crafted a safe workaround for Intel driver failures, and a day later found Intel had beaten me to it by 3 weeks:
15:34 <seb128> - Distro-patched Intel driver bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-vaapi-driver/+bug/170809
15:34 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 172053 in Inkscape "duplicate for #170809 select translation by UI" [Medium,Fix released]
15:34 <seb128> - Distro-patched gstreamer-vaapi with the final clean fix for Wayland corruption and performance issues: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1701463
15:34 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1701463 in gstreamer-vaapi (Ubuntu) "gst-vaapi+Wayland = rendering corruption in totem (but not in gst-play-1.0)" [High,In progress]
15:34 <seb128> - Note: Totem performance is still poor compared to mpv/gst-play-1.0 but at least it plays with acceleration now (less poor than it was).
15:34 <seb128> - Prototyped: Distro-patch for MPV to enable acceleration by default. Can't propose it formally until the pending sync is completed (held up by dependency test failures, nothing to do with me).
15:34 <seb128> - Expanded the wiki to document YouTube support: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntelQuickSyncVideo
15:34 <seb128> * PulseAudio:
15:34 <seb128> - Completed the removal of Android support (Ubuntu Touch) from PulseAudio and proposed for artful: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/1709055
15:34 <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1709055 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu) "Drop support for Android (Ubuntu Touch patches)" [Medium,In progress]
15:34 <seb128> * BlueZ:
15:34 <seb128> - Rebuilt the git repo again, to resolve uncoordinated uploads conflicting with the testing PPA: https://git.launchpad.net/~bluetooth/bluez
15:34 <seb128> * Help wanted:
15:34 <seb128> - Three sponsorships queued: http://reqorts.qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/
15:34 <seb128> - And more coming soon.
15:34 <seb128> * Daily bug management across gnome-shell, gdm, ubuntu-themes, DKMS, bluez, pulseaudio and mir.
15:34 <seb128> * Travel planning: Trying to find sane flights (and cheaper accommodation) for September. A surprisingly time-consuming activity.

15:44 <seb128> #topic Trevinho
15:44 <seb128> Trevinho, hey
15:44 <Trevinho> 17/31
15:44 <Trevinho> · Refactored mutter resource scale (now moved to mutter itself from shell's stwidgets)
15:44 <Trevinho> · Exposing monitor scaling
15:44 <Trevinho> · Added support for scaling clutter canvas
15:44 <Trevinho> · Fixed background-actor to work full-quality in scaled environments
15:44 <Trevinho> · Adapted shell to mutter changes
15:44 <Trevinho> · Improved the icons quality in fractional scaling
15:44 <Trevinho> · Some tests to get the OIP (other internal project) working
15:44 <Trevinho> · Got some seaside pleasure
15:44 <Trevinho> 🌊
15:45 <seb128> Trevinho, is some of that scaling working landing upstream this cycle?
15:45 <Trevinho> seb128: we wanted to, but there are some things to shape yet, so not sure if we can get
15:46 <jbicha> integer scaling is in 3.26 though, right?
15:46 <Trevinho> as we might be late for the ABI freeze
15:46 <Trevinho> jbicha: even fractional, but it's under experimental features
15:46 <Trevinho> while the UI bits aren't there
15:46 <Trevinho> so only the mutter part landed so far
15:47 <seb128> k
15:47 <seb128> well let's see how it looks like after feature freeze
15:47 <seb128> thanks Trevinho
15:48 <seb128> #topic robert_ancell

15:49 <seb128> #topic aob
15:49 <seb128> jbicha, I think you had some things you wanted to discuss?
15:49 <seb128> gjs transition?
15:50 <jbicha> I noticed yesterday that gjs doesn't build on s390x
15:50 <jbicha> we should be able to still use gjs from GNOME 3.26 and mozjs52 even if we stick with GNOME 3.24
15:50 <seb128> do we intend to stick to 3.24?
15:51 <jbicha> currently, there are a bunch of warning emitted but I expect those to be cleaned up for 3.26 anyway
15:51 <seb128> I would think that since we are pushing quite some changes this cycle we can't focus on stability, we better place us ourself as close as possible of what we are going to get in the LTS
15:51 <jbicha> I think we should target GNOME 3.26 as much as possible
15:51 <seb128> and test current GNOME such
15:51 <seb128> +1
15:51 <kenvandine> +1
15:53 <jbicha> ok, I can start landing 3.25.90 stuff then
15:53 <didrocks> I think it's fine, just wait for the current transition to be done
15:53 <didrocks> jbicha: please wait by end of next week
15:53 <jbicha> didrocks: which transition?
15:53 <didrocks> vanilla GNOME Shell, GNOME Shell mode, glib patch…
15:53 <didrocks> I would like we do that in 2 steps
15:53 <seb128> jbicha, no, please let's not cowboy those updates and discuss case by case on the channel before landing
15:54 <didrocks> because it's tested against current 2.24
15:54 <jbicha> seb128: ok, how about evolution 3.25.90 transition now?
15:54 <Laney> what glib patch?
15:55 <didrocks> Laney: allison's work
15:55 <seb128> ah, Laney is around
15:55 <jbicha> no new sonames, but libevolution rdepends need rebuilding
15:55 <Laney> sort of
15:55 <seb128> Laney, have a summary/wanted to have a turn in the meeting?
15:55 <seb128> or you are just lurking for this one?
15:55 <seb128> jbicha, is there any soname change in eds?
15:55 <Laney> was at guadec, now at debconf, worked on some asgen fixes, some gnome software stuff, pkg-gnome git stuff a bit
15:56 <jbicha> seb128: no :)
15:56 <didrocks> jbicha: so yeah, everything not gnome-shell/gnome-session/gdm/glib/gtk is fine :)
15:56 <seb128> Laney, thanks :-)
15:56 <seb128> jbicha, sounds fine to me
15:56 <Laney> didrocks: you mean the override stuff from muktupavels?
15:57 <didrocks> (and ubuntu-settings, but I doubt you will touch those)
15:57 <didrocks> Laney: correct
15:57 <didrocks> the rebase from allison's work which I did test
15:57 <didrocks> but waiting for another feedback
15:57 <jbicha> seb128: for g-s-monitor, we need a new libgtop2 which does have a transition (upstream maintainer looks like he bumps sonames for added symbols?)
15:58 <Laney> right, ok, slightly worried about patching that in case it gets changed in between
15:58 <Laney> once it's committed we can take that in debian if you want it sooner than the next release
15:58 <seb128> jbicha, if the soname change is not needed maybe we should tell upstream to revert it?
15:58 <seb128> jbicha, but looks fine as well otherwise
15:58 <didrocks> Laney: are you around to update it before EOW?
15:58 <Laney> if it's committed
15:58 <didrocks> I think Allison is going to review it now
15:59 <Laney> there is a new release that we need to patch anyway
15:59 <Laney> s/patch/upload/
15:59 <jbicha> seb128: I'll file a bug to ask them not to bump next time but I think it's a bit late once there are already released libgtop2 tarballs
15:59 <didrocks> otherwise, I'll just cowboy it, need it for next Tuesday at the latest
15:59 <seb128> stable ones?
15:59 <didrocks> but we'll see
15:59 <seb128> jbicha, but ok...
15:59 <seb128> k
15:59 <seb128> those seems 1:1 discussions or non-meeting-specific topics
15:59 <Laney> grabbing from bugs is worrying for this
15:59 <Laney> ok
15:59 <seb128> did we have anything more we wanted to discuss as part of the meeting?
15:59 <Laney> as you wish
15:59 <jbicha> can we drop gnome-power-manager from ubuntu-desktop? it provides gnome-power-statistics
15:59 <didrocks> Laney: I wish
16:00 <seb128> jbicha, what's the rational? it's not costing much in maintainance and providing useful stats
16:02 <jbicha> seb128: just general cleanup, its icons look a bit bad and it's not been part of core GNOME in 5 years
16:02 <seb128> I don't feel strongly either way
16:03 <seb128> the icon looks fine to me but I don't have a picky eye for graphical details
16:03 <seb128> maybe another topic for the mailing list
16:03 <seb128> we might end up getting some decisions on those items at some point :p
16:03 <jbicha> seb128: are you ok with me updating standalone apps to 3.26 now like eog and file-roller or should I run all those past you?
16:04 <seb128> jbicha, it's not especially past me, I was suggesting the channel
16:04 <seb128> jbicha, but I think anything which is not including major changes or a transition is fine
16:04 <seb128> so those are probably in that category
16:04 <seb128> jbicha, thanks for working on those updates!
16:05 <jbicha> ok, I'll ask for transitions and I'll keep away from the GNOME session stuff for now too
16:05 <seb128> great
16:05 <seb128> anything else we needed to discuss?
16:05 <didrocks> thanks jbicha :)
16:05 <jbicha> so no gjs/mozjs52 until after didrocks' stuff lands
16:05 <seb128> right, but it sounds like it has build issues to resolve first anyway?
16:06 * Laney shakes fist at jhbuild
16:06 <jbicha> +1 for ending the meeting, next week may be another long meeting too :)
16:06 <seb128> ok, I think we can wrap then
16:06 <seb128> thanks everyone
