So I guess now might be a good time to ask what 4.15 has in store for us, or specifically, what we're going to do with it. 23:04 <bluesabre> I feel like I didn't see the mail 23:04 <ochosi> hmm 23:04 <bluesabre> Anyhoo, we're here now :D 23:04 <JackFrost> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/xubuntu-devel/2020-January/thread.html ? 23:04 <ochosi> wtf 23:05 <ochosi> https://imgur.com/0b5Vigf.png 23:05 <ochosi> i didn't receive a rejection mail or anything 23:05 <ochosi> and i didn't check the archive, because... why would i? 23:05 <ochosi> :/ 23:06 <bluesabre> lol 23:06 <ochosi> soooorry (i guess) 23:06 <bluesabre> Not you, or us, so all good 23:06 <ochosi> but i'm happy i managed to schedule a time/day that works :D 23:06 <ochosi> so yeah, let's skip ahead and talk about 4.16 23:06 <ochosi> or 4.15 23:06 <ochosi> #topic Updates and announcements 23:07 <JackFrost> (I also didn't discard your mail from the list!) 23:07 <ochosi> #info Xfce 4.15 is progressing well and there are a few more releases around the corner 23:08 <ochosi> since 4.16 will switch to client side decorations for XfceTitledDialog that begs the question whether we go s/mate/gnome in our application set (evince,..) 23:08 <ochosi> also, gtk-dialog-use-header will be enabled by default upstream 23:08 <bluesabre> #info The new dark theme, Greybird-dark was just released 23:08 <ochosi> which means all GtkDialog based windows should use CSD 23:08 <bluesabre> Working on getting that packaged :) 23:09 <ochosi> cool 23:09 <ochosi> so regarding what we're going to do with 4.15, i'd slap it into a PPA for testing 23:09 <ochosi> and then think about it again once 20.04 is released 23:10 <ochosi> if you want a sneak preview (ahead of my upcoming blog post about this), here's the xfce settings manager in the new layout: https://imgur.com/sj98Abn.png 23:11 <ochosi> so visually it's not a big departure 23:11 <ochosi> or a standalone config dialog: https://imgur.com/5nRhS6H.png 23:12 <ochosi> JackFrost: does that answer your question? 23:13 <JackFrost> Well not really, I'd guess the specific question is ppa:xubuntu-dev/experimental ? 23:13 <ochosi> yeah, i guess so 23:13 <bluesabre> Sure, I think that's fine 23:13 <JackFrost> OK, I'll only be picking them up as they hit Debian experimental this time. 23:14 <bluesabre> Makes sense :) 23:14 <ochosi> does debian experimental pick up devel releases? 23:14 <ochosi> (sry, i'm rather ignorant there) 23:15 <JackFrost> Depends on if corsac feels like it, but usually yeah. 23:15 <bluesabre> Other news from the theming perspective, the Yaru folks might have a surprise for us soon (nothing more to say about that for now) 23:15 <ochosi> enigmatic 23:16 <bluesabre> Saw a 4.15 thing get uploaded to debian the other day 23:16 <ochosi> is it good, bad or ugly? (the surprise) 23:16 <bluesabre> Good 23:16 <bluesabre> :) 23:16 * ochosi keeps his fingers crossed 23:16 <JackFrost> ...What I'd think of as 'good' or what everyone else does? :P 23:16 <bluesabre> Well 23:16 <ochosi> :'D 23:16 <bluesabre> That remains to be seen 23:16 <bluesabre> ;) 23:17 <ochosi> okok, i'll stop biting my nails and we can move on 23:17 <ochosi> unless you want to know more regarding 4.15 23:17 <JackFrost> Nope. 23:17 <ochosi> k 23:17 <bluesabre> Got anything planned for 4.14.x? 23:17 <ochosi> yeah 23:18 <ochosi> that's what i would move on to 23:18 <ochosi> #subtopic Xubuntu 20.04 Planning 23:18 <JackFrost> gtk-dialog-use-header doesn't really look like a user setting, but glade or whatnot, right? 23:18 <ochosi> it's a user setting 23:18 <ochosi> you can try with xfconf-query if you want 23:19 <ochosi> (i can paste the command) 23:19 <JackFrost> AH, fantastic. Thanks. I'll :x now. 23:19 <ochosi> it'll be part of my blog post ;) 23:19 <bluesabre> :) 23:20 <ochosi> the only agenda item i added could go here or into discussion 23:20 <ochosi> it's about checking up on 4.14.x releases 23:21 <ochosi> so i would suggest we spend a few minutes to go around the most important components and see if we want a point release :) 23:21 <bluesabre> :) 23:21 <ochosi> and then info it 23:21 <bluesabre> I think xfce4-settings has a few fixes waiting in it 23:21 <ochosi> #info xfce4-panel 4.14.2 shall be released shortly 23:22 <bluesabre> And xfce4-taskmanager drops the stuck floating legend, fixing one of our lp bugs 23:22 <ochosi> #info xfce4-settings 4.14.2 shall be released shortly 23:23 <bluesabre> xfce4-weather-plugin has some bugs I'm aware of that I need to fix and release 23:23 <ochosi> #info xfdesktop 4.14.2 shall be released shortly 23:23 <ochosi> (some of those means we need to bug others, other releases can be done by me or sean) 23:23 <bluesabre> xfce4-screensaver has a few newly reported bugs with patches 23:23 <bluesabre> yeah 23:24 <ochosi> #info xfce4-session 4.14.1 shall be released shortly 23:24 <bluesabre> nice 23:25 <ochosi> so there are quite a few 23:25 <bluesabre> JackFrost: aware of any critical releases? 23:25 <ochosi> even though the powermanager has only commit, it's a nice one 23:25 <JackFrost> Nope. 23:26 <bluesabre> Got another catfish release I'll hopefully land this weekend 23:26 <bluesabre> We might also need to revisit our docs a bit this cycle 23:27 <bluesabre> Oh 23:27 <ochosi> i thnk that's about it from the core components 23:27 <bluesabre> And the wallpaper contest 23:27 <bluesabre> Sorry, brain dumping :) 23:28 <bluesabre> ochosi: yeah, can't think of others that have anything major pending 23:28 <ochosi> docs and wallpaper contest are both fine, but i have to admit i probably won't have time for either 23:28 <ochosi> i mean helping with the selection, yes, that's just one session 23:28 <ochosi> but setting it all up and communicating it, probably not 23:28 <bluesabre> Once I have a handle of the requirements, I'll put a schedule together 23:29 <ochosi> k 23:30 <ochosi> anything else you would like to discuss in planning? 23:30 <bluesabre> xubuntu-wise, I think that's all I have 23:31 <ochosi> k, same here 23:31 <ochosi> #topic Discussion 23:32 <bluesabre> hi 23:32 <bluesabre> :) 23:32 <ochosi> :) 23:32 <bluesabre> So, we should probably look at the release schedule 23:33 <ochosi> we had one point we may carry over from last time, which is announcing that we need people to work on our website (since knome isn't around a lot) 23:33 <ochosi> bluesabre: wanna take an action item? 23:33 <ochosi> :> 23:33 <bluesabre> Sure 23:33 <ochosi> and yeah, then let's look at the schedule 23:34 <ochosi> #action bluesabre to send an email to the xubuntu / xubuntu-devel list about looking for a new web lead (someone who doesn't hate wordpress) 23:34 * meetingology bluesabre to send an email to the xubuntu / xubuntu-devel list about looking for a new web lead (someone who doesn't hate wordpress) 23:34 <bluesabre> Release schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FocalFossa/ReleaseSchedule 23:35 <bluesabre> Feature freeze at the end of February 23:35 <ochosi> 2/27 - Feature Freeze / Debian Import Freeze 23:35 <bluesabre> We're not doing too bad for time :) 23:35 <ochosi> seems like the next relevant date 23:35 <ochosi> since we're not really planning any new features so far, i guess UI freeze may be more relevant even 23:36 <ochosi> 3/19 - User Interface Freeze 23:36 <bluesabre> Xfce 4.14 has been pleasantly stable, so there's not a lot of things to worry about adding or fixing 23:36 <ochosi> indeed 23:36 <bluesabre> Unless there's tons of broken stuff and nobody's reporting bugs 23:36 <ochosi> :D 23:36 <bluesabre> Definitely possible. 23:36 <ochosi> some people are reporting bugs, and i actually fix some of them every once in a while 23:37 <ochosi> the good thing is most of them also affect 4.15 so i have extra motivation to fix them anyway 23:37 <bluesabre> good dev ochosi 23:37 <ochosi> we're in a much better place than with 4.12 23:37 <ochosi> the porting made bug fixing for older releases totally unpleasant 23:37 <ochosi> and also felt more like a waste of time 23:38 <bluesabre> What's the package that we use for the color profiles? Has it been updated for focal? 23:38 <ochosi> ah 23:38 <ochosi> i think so 23:38 <ochosi> i think i even asked JackFrost to put it in a PPA for me and i tested it 23:38 <ochosi> the main issue with it is gone (100%cpu and multiple daemons spawned) 23:38 <JackFrost> But did you close the resulting bug? ;) 23:39 <ochosi> i thought you did :p 23:39 <ochosi> i can take a look... 23:39 <bluesabre> #chair kryten 23:39 <meetingology> Current chairs: JackFrost bluesabre kryten ochosi 23:39 <kryten> <3 23:39 <franksmcb> I'm sorry to interrupt the flow.
