00:11:38 <vicnet> clokep: alright, I *think* I did everything properly :)
00:12:39 <clokep> vicnet: Looks like it! Except setting the target milestone...but 1.3 isn't in there yet anyway.
00:12:50 * clokep is adding it now.
00:13:03 <-- myk has quit (Input/output error)
00:13:50 <vicnet> clokep: OK, I'll keep that in mind in the future. I guess I'm off to report the couple of bugs we disccussed earlier, now… 1.2 is not in the list of versions though from what I can see
00:14:08 <clokep> vicnet: Refresh.
00:14:40 <vicnet> clokep: wow, it's almost like magic  :)
00:15:36 <clokep> Yes, we apparently missed the " Update version flag (and possibly target milestone) on bugzilla " step on the release process...
00:19:19 <deOmega> OK, i did it... I hope it is worth something to someone.  To be honest, I did it so long ago, I already forgot what I changed... but thought it looked nice enough to share.
00:19:47 <deOmega> Just do not tell me it is exactly like  the original :)

09:59:57 <flo> has anybody posted on freshmeat (and waiting for moderation) ?
09:59:58 <aleth> though you don't get the sense the author has really tried IB much...
10:00:20 <aleth> People still use freshmeat?
10:00:34 <flo> aleth: he probably hasn't, but he has read most of the release notes, read the announcement blog post, and spent some time on the wiki to find the roadmap
10:00:54 <flo> aleth: lots of website uses its rss feed, so a post on freshmeat's front page gives some visibility
10:01:11 <aleth> flo: Yes, like you say, it is nicely researched :)
10:01:26 <flo> the only point he missed is the change to MPL2

10:33:23 <flo> could that authname be the main nick if nick is a grouped nick?
10:33:28 <flo> or is this just completely pointless?

12:01:57 <flo> ?
12:02:23 <flo> about bug 1629; couldn't this be because the user is using a connection that drops sockets that haven't received anything for a while?

12:03:14 <flo> the 3G of my phone does that, it's super annoying. My ssh connections are cut after a few minutes if I don't do anything with them, and ssh notices only when trying to send something in the connection.

12:19:23 <flo> deOmega: good morning :)
12:20:11 <aleth> deOmega: you might want to submit your add-on for review so it can go public ;)
12:20:41 <clokep_work> barlas: How is IRC any different?
12:21:02 <deOmega> good morning all.
12:21:49 <-- aleth has quit (Quit: Au revoir)
12:23:20 <deOmega> aleth: Thank you.   WIll check on how to do that in a sec
12:24:08 <-- deOmega has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.3a1pre -- http://www.instantbird.com)
12:24:12 --> deOmega has joined #instantbird
12:25:16 <barlas> clokep_work: I don't know how everyone uses it, so I said I am not sure :) But as for me, I often join channels for support or to find out more about some projects, which are supposed to be one time only, that is join channel, stay there as long as I am online, and most probably never go there again if I have a need.
12:25:38 <barlas> So, if session managemen works like in Firefox, it would automatically join all those channels for me, which I would have to logout :)
12:26:49 <clokep_work> Yes...?
12:27:00 <clokep_work> If you use it for a one time thing, wouldn't you part the channel?
12:28:18 <flo> clokep_work: he just said he doesn't
12:28:27 <flo> clokep_work: because he relies on the bug of his existing client
12:28:42 <barlas> flo: I consider that a feature :P
12:28:46 <flo> clokep_work: I do that too. I almost never close a tab. Neither on Firefox nor in Instantbird
12:29:10 * clokep_work shrugs
12:29:34 <flo> clokep_work: so I expect that restore feature to cause some frustration. I just believe the gain (in the general case) is more significant than the minor frustration (in corner case)
12:29:56 <barlas> BTW I am not saying session management wouldn't be a good idea.
12:30:34 <barlas> Yep, minor annoyance, and a need for change in normal work flow.
12:31:07 <barlas> Ofcourse, you can always come across some brilliant idea that gives us best of both worlds, but I can't think of anything like that now :)
12:32:03 <flo> barlas: I don't have any great idea yet for that
12:32:32 <flo> It will probably need to be discussed when someone actually starts the implement
12:32:34 <flo> *implementation
12:32:46 <flo> maybe it will need to be a pref that users can turn off
12:32:50 <clokep_work> I know people get a bit frustrated when using Instantbird to join random rooms in general (you need to create an account, set up the room you want to join, etc.)
12:33:01 <clokep_work> But I personally join the same stuff everyday, so that doesn't bother me. :-D
12:33:03 <flo> Session restore definitely make sense in some cases thought (for example, after an update, an add-on install, ...)
12:33:25 <deOmega> aleth:Ok, addon nominated :).  SO i am guessing you tested it without any issues?  :)
12:33:44 <flo> deOmega: nominating it requests that someone tests it ;).
12:34:39 <barlas> clokep_work: Other than X-Chat, most of the clients I've used don't have a server list, so I always have to add info for the server when joining new server, that isn't much more work than creating new account (though for clients that already have servers lists, creating account would definitely feel like a lot of work)
12:35:09 <barlas> Maybe you can add /server command, that would join the server on new tab (without disconnecting current one)
12:35:47 <clokep_work> No.
12:35:51 <deOmega> Ok,  cool.  You know what I would like.. is when someone does not have an avatar or when in a forum such as this... instead of showing  the adium icons... maybe it shows one of the IB icons.  I will look into it.
12:36:12 <clokep_work> (By the way if I do ever say "No." it usually means "I don't think so, but convince me.")
12:36:19 <deOmega> barlas: I think that MIRC has that also
12:36:54 <barlas> deOmega: mIRC still exists?
12:36:54 <flo> deOmega: the default icons are included in the message theme
12:36:59 <clokep_work> Also "join the server on new tab" doesn't really mean anything unless you tick off the little "Show server tab" option.
12:37:20 <flo> barlas: yeah, it's still causing significant pain to all developers trying to support IRC ;)
12:37:30 <barlas> heh
12:38:04 <flo> clokep_work: so, did my suggestion of /join without argument made sense or not?
12:38:22 <barlas> clokep_work: Most channels I visit are on freenode, which I join anyway, so I don't care about it much, but something like would make it easier for other users.
12:38:26 <deOmega> flo: Is there a place i can find various icons for IB that i can use?  I think I saw you post a variety of them at some point
12:38:44 <clokep_work> flo: I don't see this suggestion...
12:38:45 <flo> or is it just that it's pointless for users who don't spend half a day testing what happens in a list of participants when someone leaves and joins again?
12:39:06 <flo> clokep_work: http://log.bezut.info/instantbird/today#m171
12:39:29 <clokep_work> flo: Yes that makes sense.
12:39:45 <clokep_work> Want to write the patch? :P
12:39:51 <flo> clokep_work: I guess my question is: does it make enough sense to be worth implementing?
12:40:05 <clokep_work> flo: It would probably be a fairly simple patch so...I think so.
12:40:12 <flo> clokep_work: I'm afraid I would have a hard time justifying it's required for Tb15beta
12:40:30 <clokep_work> barlas: FYI we can't "connect" to a server without an account anyway, so /server would be a shortcut to create an account...and I'm really not a fan of that.
12:40:32 <flo> deOmega: do you mean http://www.instantbird.com/press-images.html#logo ?
12:40:56 <deOmega> YES!  Thank you
12:41:24 <instantbot> New Core - IRC bug 1634 filed by florian@instantbird.org.
12:41:27 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1634 nor, --, ---, nobody, NEW, The /join IRC command should work without argument when typed in a parted room.
12:41:32 <barlas> clokep_work: Can't there be a hidden temporary account, created by /server and then deleted on next startup?
12:41:37 <deOmega> that will work, since i am using the nightlies
12:41:43 <flo> barlas: that sounds like something super confusing
12:42:15 <barlas> flo: Not for users, they won't even know those accounts exist :)
12:42:25 <barlas> They would just be joining servers without need for creating an account.
12:42:35 <flo> barlas: how do you disconnect it? See if there's an error?
12:42:42 <clokep_work> I'm not really a fan of supporting behavior that I view as "broken". :-/
12:42:56 <flo> I would just r- and move on ;)
12:43:16 <clokep_work> And confusing for developers is also important! :)
12:43:51 <flo> or if someone manages to really convince me that it could be worth supporting, I would require tons of unit tests for that mis-feature
12:44:11 <flo> because it's guaranteed that developers will never think about it when implementing other things later
12:44:19 <barlas> :D
12:50:43 <barlas> Gaim used to have a smileys set, that showed different emoticons for each protocol.
12:50:50 <barlas> I don't think Pidgin has it anymore
12:50:57 <flo> barlas: I think it still does
12:51:04 <barlas> Is it possible to have something like that for Instantbird?
12:51:19 <barlas> Hmm... I thought they removed it.
12:51:21 <flo> barlas: I also think it's a mis-feature. But it's largely debatable (ie different people will have different opinions on it).
12:51:36 <barlas> How is it a mis-feature? :)
12:51:37 <flo> barlas: if you want an add-on to support that, go ahead
12:51:55 <barlas> MSN uses :D, while yahoo has :)) 
12:52:19 <flo> barlas: it makes things more complicated. We try to make the protocol differences irrelevant, so showing different emoticons when the conversation with the same contact switches to a different protocol would be confusing
12:52:28 <barlas> I would want to use the correct smiley when chatting with people on those protocols, who are most probably using official client.
12:52:32 <flo> barlas: instantbird has both :D and :)
12:52:46 <barlas> :)) is actually like :D
12:52:51 <barlas> two ))
12:52:54 <flo> barlas: yeah, it makes sense only if you expect the person at the other end to use the official client.
12:53:01 <flo> barlas: none of my friends do of course ;).
12:53:05 <barlas> heh
12:53:15 <barlas> Statistically speaking, majority still uses the official client.
12:53:38 <-- deOmega has quit (Quit: Instantbird 1.3a1pre -- http://www.instantbird.com)
12:53:40 <flo> arguing based on statistics that don't exist seem that you don't have a point, sorry :-P.
12:53:41 --> deOmega has joined #instantbird
12:54:14 <barlas> flo: Come on, you should know more than half the statistics are made up anyway :)
12:54:14 <flo> so, the tb participants list seems less broken than I thought
12:54:39 <deOmega> testing (ignore please)
12:54:44 <flo> barlas: I studied sociology, so I know some people spend an insane amount of time doing real statistics ;).
12:54:55 <flo> deOmega: what if we don't want to ignore and reply to you? :-P
12:55:19 <deOmega> OK,  got it working fine.  thanks flo, will update the addon on the site with this.
12:56:01 <deOmega> If you did not want to reply ... then I would be making it easier, as i was saying  to ignore my response, as opposed to ignore your desire :)
12:56:21 <deOmega> lol,   man
12:56:31 <deOmega> i messed up,  misread your reply lol
12:56:32 <flo> uh
12:56:34 * flo is confused
12:56:51 <deOmega> I misread your message

12:59:03 <flo> clokep_work: just the "inactive" attribute that's messed up, I was afraid there were other issues
13:00:18 <flo> is shift+f10 a standard shortcut we were supposed to know?
13:01:25 <clokep_work> Firefox uses it apparently...
13:01:57 <flo> and I assume you can reproduce the bug?
13:02:12 <flo> the kepress event on the tab seems to focus the input box
13:02:12 <deOmega> ok,   finished with the  upload and everything.  Thanks for the help guys.  feels really good to be able to share an experience.
13:02:19 <flo> :)
13:02:36 <clokep_work> flo: On Firefox is always focuses the webpage so... :-S
13:02:49 <flo> it doesn't open the context menu either?
13:04:14 <deOmega> the instantbird icon is much more appropriate than the Adium ..  Time for work.

13:18:15 <barlas> Hmm... does that make sense?
13:18:26 <barlas> I mean what would be the actual use case of this issue?
13:18:46 <barlas> As far as I have seen, people login all there account from same place.
13:19:09 <flo> then you haven't seen enough
13:19:17 <barlas> Quite possible
13:19:17 <flo> and some protocol sometimes have server issues
13:19:40 <barlas> Oh, I was thinking of going away, didn't think of one account getting disconnected.
13:20:31 <barlas> Still, I would be interested in knowing any real-life case where it would be useful, for my general knowledge :)
13:20:50 <clokep_work> I talk to most of my friends on AIM generally.
13:20:58 <flo> someone connecting 5 accounts from Instantbird at the office, and only one account from a phone
13:21:08 <flo> would be nice to switch to the phone when the desktop client is idle
13:21:10 <clokep_work> They leave their computers and eventually go idle on it, but their phone is still set to away...I'd love for my messages to automatically switch to using GTalk.
13:23:06 <barlas> clokep_work: Where would the message go in that case? One is idle, other is away
13:23:20 <clokep_work> Away > Idle.
13:23:20 <flo> barlas: away is more available than idle
13:23:32 <barlas> Ah oka
13:23:45 <clokep_work> (Which is fairly common in IM clients. :))
13:23:49 <flo> barlas: but if that confuses you, just assume the user was available on Gtalk on the phone
13:24:37 <flo> clokep_work: it's debatable. One can argue that it's more OK to IM someone who is idle (ie won't receive the message immediately) than someone who explicitly said he didn't want to be disturbed.
13:25:04 <clokep_work> But then you get into the debate of whether DND and "Away" are different. :-D
13:25:11 <barlas> Well, most people I know who actually care about enough to login on IM account on phone, either have just one accoount, or they login on all of them :) I need a bigger sample in contacts
13:25:19 <barlas> clokep_work: They are! :)
13:25:36 <flo> clokep_work: yeah, I don't want that debate. I was just saying that it's not completely obvious that away > idle, and it's more a design decision we made.
13:25:56 <barlas> Busy == DND, Away == leave me a message, I will check it when I am back. At least that is how I perceive them.
13:25:59 <clokep_work> Yeah, I guess.
13:26:22 <clokep_work> barlas: Bigger issue is that not all protocols support those as two separate statuses.
13:26:42 <flo> of that gtalk sets the status to away when the user is idle
13:26:44 <barlas> Yeah, I don't like those protocols :)

14:16:43 <clokep_work> I mean...everything is a WIP, but it's released. :)
14:16:50 <clokep_work> It has a few TODO comments in it though!
14:17:06 <flo> clokep_work: at least there's no more XXX :)

14:18:21 <barlas> Songbird is alive?

14:19:09 <barlas> 2010, that's old!
14:19:16 <clokep_work> Songbird is the only gecko app to totally disappoint me. :(
14:19:51 <flo> are you disappointed by the app or the company behind it? ;)
14:22:05 <clokep_work> Both.
14:22:11 * clokep_work is hoping Nightingale works out.
14:25:18 <barlas> Looks nice, though the amount of music I hear, VLC works good enough for me.
14:29:20 <flo> do we have a bug to have the topic of conversations in the tooltip? (for conversation tabs, and conversations on hold)
14:29:45 <flo> when I see a cropped topic that looks interesting in a conversation on hold, I'm always surprised that I don't see the full topic when hovering
14:32:11 <clokep_work> You see the full topic if you hover the topic.
14:32:23 <clokep_work> I'm always surprised that conversations have crappy tooltips though, yes.
14:32:26 <clokep_work> And I think hwe ave a bug.
14:32:38 <spiffytech> I'm trying to connect Instantbird to my ZNC IRC bouncer but I'm getting "connection closed by server", and I don't know why because I've configured Instantbird the same as my other IRC clients. Possible complications include the server requiring a password (which I've entered), using SSL (which I've checked the box for), and using a self-signed cert (does Instantbird validate certs?)
14:32:58 <flo> clokep_work: the tooltips are crappy in general, not only for conversations
14:33:28 <flo> spiffytech: instantbird validates certs
14:33:36 <clokep_work> flo: bug 1196

14:36:52 <clokep_work> I'm always scared ot modifying tooltips as "they're going to be redesigned"...

14:39:46 <clokep_work> But I meant more of I don't like to stand up a full UI from scratch.
14:40:46 <flo> I'm starting to really hate "Bug 779453 Styling for active participants is lost when changing chatrooms"
14:40:59 <flo> I seem to always break something in the syntax, and the XBL binding won't load anymore
14:41:04 <flo> without error of course
14:44:17 <spiffytech> flo: Yep, that was it. Tracked down the ZNC .pem file, imported it under "servers", edited the cert to be trusted (that should probably be the default when importing certs) and everything worked.
14:45:06 <flo> "that should probably be the default when importing certs" the cert UI sucks, we know it, but we don't maintain it, it's a part of the mozilla platform.
14:45:14 <flo> spiffytech: glad it works now :)
14:45:44 <clokep_work> spiffytech: Ideally it would have popped up with a cert warning...but that's currently not implemented...:-/
14:46:11 <barlas> flo: Then you need to submit the patch upstream :P
14:46:15 * barlas hides from flo
14:46:16 <flo> clokep_work: just being able to display in the account manager that the account is disconnect because of a cert issue would already be much better than "server closed the connection" ;)
14:46:29 * flo volunteers barlas to write the patch
14:46:37 <clokep_work> Yes. :)
14:46:47 <clokep_work> barlas: We contributed a significant amount of patches upstream.
14:46:54 <clokep_work> s/d//.
14:47:08 <flo> barlas: I recently fixed the idle service :)
14:47:11 <barlas> flo: That is why I hid, I knew you were going to volunteer me :)

14:53:33 <flo> clokep_work: are we aiming for a 1.3 release in 3 months? ;)
14:53:41 <clokep_work> flo: I hope so.
14:53:52 <clokep_work> Probably while I'm traveling for work...:P
14:54:09 <flo> pssst, excuses for not releasing ;)
14:55:05 --> wnayes has joined #instantbird
14:56:04 * flo keeps finding bugs related to tb's right pane
14:56:39 <barlas> Can we add contacts in IRC?
14:56:48 <flo> wufds
14:56:50 <flo> oopx
14:56:54 <flo> *sure
14:56:55 <flo> *oops
14:56:56 <flo> :-D
14:57:18 <barlas> How does it work?
14:57:24 <flo> magic ;)
14:57:30 <barlas> I added one and it hasn't showed up :(
14:58:40 --> Optimizer has joined #instantbird
14:58:41 <barlas> Nevermind, it was related to that other bug, where I have to show/hide some lists before they show up.
14:58:44 <-- Optimizer has quit (Input/output error)
14:59:09 --> Optimizer has joined #instantbird
14:59:17 <clokep_work> barlas: Are you using Instantbird 1.2 or 1.3a1pre?
14:59:25 <clokep_work> If so...this is an unknown bug.
14:59:26 <barlas> 1.2
14:59:42 <clokep_work> Although IRC contacts can take a minute or so to show up.
14:59:54 <clokep_work> (Depending on the server.)
14:59:55 <barlas> Or that could be the reason
15:00:36 <barlas> I had some issue with adding GTalk contacts, and I filed a bug for that. (flo commented on that too)
15:01:04 <flo> clokep_work: it's known but unfiled
15:01:16 <flo> barlas: ah, remember the bug number? :)
15:01:25 <barlas> 1572
15:01:25 <clokep_work> How am I supposed to know stuff if it's not in my database? :P
15:01:31 <clokep_work> instantbot: bug 1572
15:01:31 <flo> clokep_work: it's the "Other Contacts" group that sucks
15:01:35 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1572 nor, --, ---, nobody, UNCO, New Gtalk contacts added doesn't show up in Contact list
15:02:51 <clokep_work> Ah, right.
15:02:56 <clokep_work> So that's not really an XMPP bug, right?
15:03:58 <flo> the bug I have in mind isn't
15:04:25 <flo> what's described in that report is quite confusing though, so we could as were resolve it as incomplete and file a clean bug for the issue of the "Other contacts" group with new contacts
15:04:49 <flo> *as well
15:07:27 <flo> I think I finally have a working patch for that issue with nicks becoming inactive when switching the displayed conversation.
15:07:28 <flo> http://pastebin.instantbird.com/60544
15:07:55 --> myk has joined #instantbird
15:12:40 <flo> clokep_work: do you want to review that patch, or do you prefer if it goes to bwinton's queue? :)
15:13:52 <clokep_work> flo: It can go in mine.
15:14:04 <clokep_work> It looks fairly straightforward.
15:14:06 <flo> Blake will love you :)
15:14:10 <clokep_work> (Although I could see it being awful to write.)
15:14:31 <flo> I need to check it in tomorrow.
15:14:44 <flo> it or a fixed version of it of course :)
15:15:29 <barlas> Why do you guys use etherpad for discussing future features/issues?
15:15:49 <flo> sometimes yes
15:15:51 <barlas> Wouldn't a wiki be much better, and it will also keep the record and would be helpful for users?
15:16:02 <barlas> I mean the wiki you already have :)
15:16:02 <flo> no to all the points in that sentence
15:16:17 <barlas> :(
15:16:56 <barlas> Can I add stuff in it? :P
15:17:00 <flo> wikis are painful and slow to edit, make collaboration very difficult (hard to edit the same sentence at the same time), and are pointless for users
15:17:51 <clokep_work> flo: It's obnoxious that all the conversations share the same binding or whatever.
15:17:52 <flo> barlas: you mean the 1-3 etherpad? You can add stuff in it, but if you do, you are mostly volunteering to do that stuff.
15:18:11 <barlas> There is too much volunteering in this channel :)
15:18:23 <clokep_work> barlas: We're all volunteers on Instantbird.
15:18:25 <barlas> I wanted to recommend 'Sort by Status' for integration
15:18:44 <flo> barlas: just, telling others what they should work on is rude, and very likely to discourage work on that specific point ;).
15:18:55 <barlas> heh
15:18:58 <flo> except if you are paying these people to do what you want
15:19:04 <clokep_work> barlas: That won't be integrated.
15:19:06 <barlas> Well, I am future volunteer, does that count? :)
15:19:11 <clokep_work> It's like the ideal situation for an add-on.
15:19:19 <barlas> Ok
15:19:26 <clokep_work> (Simple, requires no options, etc.)
15:19:30 <clokep_work> At least in my mind. :-D
15:19:34 <flo> barlas: you can add filtering the contact list in that pad if you want, and think you will work on it in the next 3 months ;)
15:19:39 <clokep_work> I should probably update it so it's not 0.1*pre* though.
15:20:11 <barlas> I use Status Reminder, but I am with whoever said "I'm not sure this should be integrated"
15:20:12 <clokep_work> Some of that pad is "eventually"...which we kind of just brain dumped stuff we' had talked about previously to make sure we got bugs filed.
15:20:39 <flo> clokep_work: each conversation has its own imconversation binding, but there's only one conv-top-info binding for all of them, and only one list of participants.
15:20:51 <flo> and yes, it's not pleasant to work with that
15:20:56 <barlas> flo: I would probably start working on it in couple of week
15:21:20 <flo> and as we rebuild the whole participant list each time a conversation is selected, good luck using an #ubuntu conversation :-D
15:21:48 <barlas> I liked Google's Wave for collaborating, it would've been great if they kept developing it.
15:22:17 <flo> barlas: as clokep_work just said "we kind of just brain dumped stuff we' had talked about previously". So the pad is really not a place to add a feature with the hope that we will believe that because it's listed there it's wanted.
15:22:59 <flo> (we would just remove it from the pad the next time we read it anyway ;))
15:23:26 <clokep_work> flo what is c-c's policy on 80 char lines?
15:24:06 <flo> clokep_work: I think it's the same as ours, ie "avoid whenever possible, but it's ok if there's a few more characters, or if breaking the line would make things confusing"
15:24:07 <clokep_work> barlas: "road maps" to us are very fluid, people kind of just work on what they're interested in.
15:24:41 <barlas> Yeah, I realize that, this is how most open source development works.
15:26:03 <flo> clokep_work: maybe an isBuddyActive method?
15:26:19 <clokep_work> flo: That could work.

15:34:11 <clokep_work> Guess not. ;)
15:35:31 <clokep_work> Soo....I can mass add email address to mozilla.support.instantbird. I think we should do that, send an email out to instantbird-contact@googlegroups.com and then make that group read only.
15:36:15 <flo> we should redirect contact @ ib.org first
15:37:13 <flo> I requested review again so that you can double check the result, but I guess I could have carried forward the r+
15:39:19 <clokep_work> flo: Looks good.
15:43:03 <flo> oooh, a Bonjour crash: http://crash-stats.instantbird.com/report/index/68fb1e86-ebe1-44b2-a82b-d7da02120809 :)
15:44:10 <barlas> Are there any plans for email notification for GTalk?
15:44:36 <flo> clokep_work: are you really sure you want to know if that guy has any other issue? ;)
15:44:42 <flo> clokep_work: thanks for the quick review! :)
15:44:51 <clokep_work> flo: I like to be polite. :)
15:45:04 <clokep_work> barlas: Maybe if someone comes up with a good UI for mail notifications.
15:45:08 <clokep_work> (And implements it. :-D)
15:45:33 <flo> wasn't there some code related to new email notifications in Varuna's Gtalk code?
15:46:06 <clokep_work> Yes.
15:46:14 <clokep_work> It spawned a conversation and gae you the subjects or something.
15:48:15 <barlas> Oooh, Long term goals: 
15:48:16 <barlas> - some video/audio chat in JS-XMPP with WebRTC 
15:48:55 <barlas> instantbot: bug 1565
15:48:58 <instantbot> Bug https://bugzilla.instantbird.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1565 enh, --, ---, nobody, NEW, Pastebin integration
15:49:27 <barlas> Isn't that more of an addon thing?
15:54:29 <clokep_work> I don't think anyone ever said that list was all for core stuff. ;)
15:54:36 <clokep_work> But it is something we want in core, I think.
15:55:32 <flo> barlas: I think we want it in core, but may do an add-on first to experiment with it until it's ready for inclusion by default
15:55:43 <clokep_work> Mostly because of people coming in here and trying to paste long error reports. :-D
15:55:50 <barlas> Well, as long as it is optional :)
15:56:12 <flo> barlas: yeah, we need to figure out a good UI so that it isn't in the wa
15:56:14 <flo> y
15:56:39 <flo> and I wanted to create a pastebin site for it, to control the UI on that side too
15:58:39 <clokep_work> One that isn't ugly and sucky. :D
15:59:13 <flo> and with an instantbird logo, and some ads ( :-[ )
16:00:48 <flo> I would like it to be served over https
16:02:17 <flo> so the freshmeat post is still not done?
16:03:02 <flo> clokep_work: "Turn on automatic updates" is the same thing as "remove "force" in the update.instantbird.org section
16:03:34 <flo> update requests fetch an update.xml file, and when the user has done the check from the UI (as opposed to a background check), the requested file is update.xml?force=1
16:04:20 <flo> in the update database we have a force column, and if force is != 0 in the database, updates will be offered only if the force parameter was present in the request
16:06:13 <clokep_work> I see. :)
16:06:29 <dew> this is what I listen to when I code, flo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EfhAFA2yFE

16:43:30 <flo> "Your release has been submitted for verification. This process typically takes less than 24 hours."
16:44:27 <clokep_work> 600 characters is small...hah.
16:44:33 <flo> yes :)
16:44:44 <flo> it's always difficult to keep something within that limit
16:52:23 <clokep_work> :) So the notifications on the wiki..
16:52:33 <clokep_work> I'll attempt to update some of that stuff soon, but it probably won't be today.
16:53:18 <flo> it won't stop me from sleeping if that list isn't up to date :)

16:56:04 <clokep_work> And testing of Highlight.
16:57:31 <clokep_work> Highlight could probably be spun into a different bug.

20:58:51 <aleth> Impressive in a way... 
20:59:38 <flo> we screwed someone today already "1.1/20111014141651/WINNT_x86-msvc/en-US/release/Windows_NT 5.0/update-force.xml"
21:00:20 <flo> and yesterday there was already a user of the pl locale who forced a check for update from win2000
21:00:32 <flo> we won't screw this one; we haven't released pl for 1.2 :)
21:00:44 <aleth> Huh, that's quite a few users then considering

21:06:21 <flo> bah, users of XP pre SP2 are screwed anyway
21:06:38 <flo> 1.1 didn't send the full version number, only the major+minor (ie 5.1 for XP)
21:06:54 <flo> 1.2 sends the full number
21:09:48 <flo> there doesn't seem to be any PPC user
21:10:00 <aleth> well that's something ;)
21:12:53 <flo> this is the list of OS versions for which we have received update pings from an 1.2 build: http://pastebin.instantbird.com/60656
21:13:44 <flo> uh, there's an update ping from 1.2 from a Windows 2000: Windows_NT 5.0.4.0 (x86)
21:13:49 <flo> very surprising
21:14:05 <flo> I thought it couldn't start :-S
21:14:25 <aleth> it actually runs?
21:14:25 <flo> I don't understand the linux version numbers
21:14:28 <aleth> wow...
21:14:43 <flo> or is 3.5.0 actually a valid kernel version?
21:15:02 <flo> last time I looked at linux kernel versions, they were numbers like 2.4 or 2.6 :-S
21:15:15 <aleth> no, I think 3.4.x is current
21:15:22 <aleth> so 3.5 is surprising...
21:15:36 <aleth> Whether you are actually using a new kernel depends on the distro though
21:15:50 <aleth> some are more conservative than others in updating...
21:15:53 <flo> I think 2n are stable versions and 2n+1 are development versions
21:16:20 <aleth> 3.6-rc1 is the latest unstable release
21:16:49 <flo> I don't even know what are our minimum system requirements on linux
