12:02.46jonnitmo seems to be down for me.
12:04.21ZogG_laptopjonni: the story is simple, you remember community award judged by council? 4 of 5 councils put their names too and 4 of 4 names got in win list
12:04.57rzrabout the council job, do you know what is it actually ?
12:05.15ZogG_laptopme? sort of
12:05.31jonniyes, I've been following the story, nokia should just have given the devices to all council, and only give 20 CA prizes and all this bitching would be smaller.
12:05.34ZogG_laptopthey do hard job, at least councils before
12:06.16ZogG_laptopjonni: maybe, but it's not bitching, it's not like i would get this device, i just care coz it's wrong
12:06.43ZogG_laptopand no prev councils didn't do it for device or something and didn't get ones for being council
12:09.15jonniwell yes community awards was more like maemo awards than harmattan awards, even my application was better that some some of the old maemo ones. But its ofcourse matter of opinions. Most of the council were voted by maemo people, thus they have maemo eyeglasses on, and dont prefer harmattan that much.
12:11.07jonnibut in my eyes decisions have been made, and its not worth of second guessing. There still is the coding competition left for 25 new devices. And maybe someday there will be yet another community awards, atleast we can have our fingers crossed.
12:13.48jonniI can confess that I'm wearing harmattan eyeglasses, since I wasn't following fremantle community that much at all.

12:25.30rzrat the same time inception and nitdroid are not projects in the interest of nokia ... so well we're already in bad shape
12:25.40rzractually we're in no shape at all
12:25.53jonniIn the other hand, if it would be someones job to follow and improve the community, some people would just receive devices outside the competition without questions. But nowadays marketing efforts are mostly targeting WP. This 100 devices did revive TMO quite a bit, but still its peanuts.
12:54.12ladoganokia doesn't seem to know itself what's in interest of nokia :)
12:55.45ladogajudging by their actions from last year almost everything they do seems to have gone against their own interests
12:55.59ladogaand well in line with MS interests

13:32.41ZogG_laptopNokia doesn't care

20:14.41djszapiwell, I am now trying to survive
20:14.58djszapiI actually ate a lot more for dinner than at the summit, and I did not spare the food out there either...
20:15.01djszapi:p
20:17.01ajalkaneIs there any way I can ungoogle "christopher street day" from my computer and mind?
20:17.46djszapifill up your mind with Lumia
20:18.13ajalkaneAh... I think I'll rather keep chirstopher street day in my memory.
20:18.22djszapihaha xD
20:19.07djszapiI realized at the summit, a lot of things are mismatching
20:19.30djszapiThere is an enormous hype about Qt Android, but the situation: two people in pastime only.
20:20.02djszapiA lot of people were advertising Qt5 on Harmattan, but it is a pain in the ass to deal with (workflow, that is).
20:23.01*** join/#harmattan piggz (~piggz@host-92-18-219-107.as13285.net)
20:23.20ajalkaneThe practical pain ia see of Qt5 on harmattan on my limited experience, is that there is no "store" that handles dependencies. And there is no other work flow well-defined by anyone yet.
20:23.46ajalkaneLike downloading the missing qt5 libs to some place
20:24.09djszapidependencies are overrated!
20:24.20ajalkaneBut I do think it's quite possible. Harmattan might even be the only mobile system to have Qt5 support :)
20:24.32ajalkaneEven if unofficially.
20:24.38djszapiI wanna Qt6 actually.
20:24.43Venemo_N9lol
20:25.03djszapiwell, you know what happened at the desktop summit last year...
20:25.18djszapignome 3 was not even out (?), but they made a gnome 4 meeting
20:25.20djszapi:D
20:25.35djszapior it had just been out.
20:26.15Venemo_N9:)
20:26.57djszapias far as I understood, a tons of stuff did not enter Qt5
20:27.02djszapithat is important.
20:27.13djszapi, tons of stuff*
20:27.15Venemo_N9actually, when Qt 4.6 was what everyone waited for, I jokingly said I'm waiting for Qt 5
20:27.43djszapithat would have been probably a bad timing...
20:28.07djszapiQt4.7 was a good playground for seeing how royal painy qt quick 1 was.
20:29.09Venemo_N9yep
20:29.13djszapilet us hope the Qt Foundation will work out nice.
20:29.24Venemo_N9btw, what didn't enter Qt 5?
20:29.51djszapiwhat was late for Qt 5 xD
20:30.48djszapiAlso, the new signal/slot implementation is a hack
20:30.50Venemo_N9eg.?
20:31.17ajalkanewhat's thy beef with the new signal/slot implementation?
20:31.45djszapihmm, so you have not checked out the implementation...
20:31.56djszapiit is as far as I know a template hell
20:32.12Venemo_N9hehe
20:32.17djszapidue to the fact, they had to copy paste methods around for different versions, like reference, not reference, different type etc
20:32.30djszapiessentially it is all cleaner with C++11
20:32.57Venemo_N9:)
20:32.59djszapibut yeah, it is nice the runtime stuff was turned into build time.
20:33.31ajalkaneNo I haven't checked the implementation. I thought you had an issue with how it's used as  "end-user" coder
20:34.34djszapicome on, I am a hacker :)
20:34.41djszapiwho cares about end user xD
20:35.14ajalkanehehe true that... send in the C++11 patch!
20:35.27djszapiend users are just the margin source of cumbersome troubles. :p
20:35.56ajalkaneBut I guess they're being conservative with C++11. it'll take a while until it's widely available.
20:36.13djszapirough estimation was done by Thiago that about 50+ people would be needed in full time to just sustain the maintenance for this huge codebase ...
20:36.27djszapi(very rough estimation because three people calculated for CI etc...)
20:36.37ajalkaneI think Elop just made the headcount about 5.
20:37.02djszapiit is funny that everybody blames Elop xD
20:37.27ajalkaneHe's the representative, even if the BoD is the real blame for the strategy

20:47.04djszapiajalkane: so have you ported the toggleavailable app to Qt5 ? :)
20:47.13djszapidoes it now open at least up ? xD
20:47.15DocScrutinizer05there's been something about quassel, what was it, what was it?
20:47.28DocScrutinizer05aaah, needs a friggin RDBMS backend
20:47.43ajalkaneMy guess is that Maemo worked because it was a skunkworks kind of project. Once it became "proper" Nokia project in context of MeeGo it was suffocated by the bureacracy.
20:47.52ladogai see it like this. meego is just a name...harmattan is could be as well..or even better called maemo. not much wasted there.
20:48.26DocScrutinizer05ajalkane: you might be close
20:48.30ajalkanedjszapi: hah, yeah, I guess that one would be about changing one include path to get Qt5'd :)
20:48.53ladogaMS though nokia-intel partnership goes against it's interests and pressured US shareholders to push Elop as new CEO against BoD's plans
20:50.12djszapiajalkane: I wonder, if there is already any app in ovi store based on Qt5.

20:52.06ajalkanedjszapi: I doubt it... but if there were they'd most likely be some game for the extra performance. Otherwise it's too much hassle for too little gain.
20:52.50djszapiI disagree with the too little gain...
20:53.00djszapiit is always a big result to open the gates up...
20:53.59ajalkaneI'm interested to hear about what you think are the big gains of qt5 in context of harmattan. I readily admit I know too little about it and am interested for other views.
20:54.26djszapione very huge one is to not abandoned Qt5 on non-desktop.
20:54.33djszapibut at least for mobile phones.
20:54.45djszapiabandon*
20:55.09ajalkaneHmm... harmattan is nicle platform.
20:55.13djszapinot that this would be any usable currently on desktop either...
20:55.14ajalkane*niche
20:56.02djszapiwell, another big gain, is to actually test the qtquick2 stuff
20:56.08djszapiwith ready made component set etc
20:56.21djszapisee limitations that did not come up during the development etc
20:56.39djszapiHarmattan components are kinda ported. The desktop components have a long way to go yet.
20:56.53DocScrutinizer05sighs about non-serverside /ignore lists

20:57.55djszapino real additional end user experience at this stage, I am afraid
20:57.57ajalkanelooking forward to what? There's no future for Qt5 on mobile.
20:58.14djszapiPardon ? Qt5 was designed especially for mobile as well.
20:58.30ajalkaneDesigned. Like a head was designed for Elop to axe.
20:58.37DocScrutinizer05ajalkane: quite obviously the benefit of qt5 for HARM is _very_ limited, given the somewhat EOL character of whole platform
20:58.40djszapiactually the first research project, and why this was created, was NB.
20:59.34djszapiI am unsure you are aware of that, but Qt5 has been way behind the feature freeze.
20:59.37ajalkaneDocScrutinizer05: my point is rather that harmattan is a very niche platform, and Qt5 on context of niche platform is niche^2
20:59.43djszapithe paradigm change will not be refactored by any sense
20:59.52djszapiso if Qt5 is out, it is gonna be out with this paradigm.
21:00.04ajalkaneWhat's NB=

21:00.53djszapiajalkane: irrelevant
21:01.05djszapiqt5 was born for primarily that case.

21:01.53ajalkanedjszapi: why is that irrelevant? If no one is using Qt5 on mobile, what use is it that it was constructed for that paradigm?
21:02.04RST38hTwice on the use of word "vision"
21:02.08djszapiajalkane: because it is just simply not dead
21:02.08DocScrutinizer05LOL
21:02.15djszapiajalkane: there is no qt5 running in KDE
21:02.23djszapiand way way long way we need to come up with.
21:02.30djszapiit is already used on Harmattan
21:02.36djszapiand as far as I see on Android
21:02.45djszapirecap: it is currently mostly only used on mobile phones.
21:02.48RST38hYou have got a company that shed most of its R&D people, turned itself into a production outfit for Microsoft, making stuff nobody wants.
21:03.19RST38hAnd the funny part is that even Microsoft does not need what it does too much, with WinRT, Win8, and WP8
21:03.45ajalkaneI'm still not seeing any enormous gains on using qt5 on harmattan. The only gains you've outlined is for Qt5 to become better, if I understood correctly.
21:03.47DocScrutinizer05and let me guess: still suggests to go "future", accomplish "visions", stick to "paradigms"?
21:03.50RST38hWhat vision? What paradigm? What next billion? The Meltemi people have been let gojust recently.
21:04.03djszapiajalkane: well, yes and no.
21:04.14RST38hThe QML-base Qt stuff is pretty much a disaster
21:04.23djszapiajalkane: if Qt5 gets better due to the actual usage, of course it is gonna be better for Android etc
21:04.42RST38hIn fact, every time someone says "we need to include JavaScript" it is a sure sign of disastr
21:04.52djszapiajalkane: not to mention the new features there were nowhere in Qt.
21:05.03djszapiplus the less maintenance hell for many things.
21:05.10DocScrutinizer05ajalkane: aaaah, of course. abuse a nearly dead platform to improve a nearly dead toolkit
21:06.09djszapisure, you will not get anything by using opengl instead of opengl as an end user
21:06.20DocScrutinizer05since the change from gtk to qt to qml wasn't enough to piss of every single developer on this planet
21:06.35RST38hDoc: you have forgotten two more steps
21:06.39djszapibut of course, that is not the only main point.
21:06.46DocScrutinizer05I thought as much, yes
21:06.51RST38hDoc: One is C# and the next one is WinRT
21:07.37RST38hI am sure making your device incompatible with any reasonable programming language made lots of progress for Microsoft and Nokia, vision-wise
21:07.40DocScrutinizer05ooh, we're about to await winRT on HARM now?
21:07.51RST38hDoc: Oh, I am talking in general sense
21:07.53ajalkaneI'm not sold on the utility of Qt5 on Harmattan on these arguments. Not until it's easy to deploy for end users as a dependency. And very easy work-flow for developers. Both are missing at the moment.
21:08.05RST38hDoc: If you are a Nokia developer, you are viewing Harmattan as just one generation of many
21:08.12RST38hDoc:And it does not look good either
21:08.15djszapiajalkane: then you are not buying many things
21:08.17djszapitoo many things IMO

21:09.10RST38hI can provide lots of reasons why I would NOT
21:09.12djszapiif there is a ready made logic in KDE that you can just wrap with a new UI ?
21:09.17ajalkaneThese all seem like something 99% of Harmattan users have no use for.
21:09.30djszapiajalkane: KDE has no use ? :o
21:09.31RST38hdjszapi: no such logic I can think about
21:09.53RST38hdjszapi: given that Android has got many more apps than KDE has to offer
21:09.57ajalkanedjszapi: KDE on harmattan is something I'm willing to claim 99% of Harmattan users will never install. If it ever becomes available.
21:09.57DocScrutinizer05RST38h: wrong addressee to talk about logic

21:11.23ajalkaneMight be. So you meant Qt5's utility is that KDE apps can be have on harmattan?
21:11.34djszapino...
21:11.47djszapiIt has been in a royal PITA to deploy KDE.
21:11.50ajalkaneKDE doesn't use Qt5 at the moment, so what's the extra utility of Qt5 in that context?
21:12.00djszapiI have spent a decent amount of my life with working on that project, and managing people around
21:12.04djszapibut we did it!
21:12.14djszapiand many users are happy, and we got a lot of positive feedback.
21:12.33djszapiyou were claiming, if it is not two minutes to deliver, it is not worth it.
21:12.39djszapiI am saying, I disagree with that.
21:12.44DocScrutinizer05mumbles "don't feed the troll", blinks, talks to himself "idiot! nobody will listen to you"
21:13.04djszapiajalkane: KDE (frameworks branch) does use Qt5.
21:13.39djszapiactually that branch only uses Qt5.
21:13.45ajalkaneThose were not my exact words. But you're close to it if you modify your algorithm with benefit/cost analysis
21:14.10ajalkaneDoes your apps use Qt5?
21:14.12djszapiin other words:
21:14.21djszapiKDE is probably a lot more painy to deliver than Qt, so what ?
21:15.07ajalkanedjszapi: well, I'm glad someone has taken the painful road. Especially if it will make others to do similar work in the future easier.
21:15.12DocScrutinizer05ajalkane: you're aware you discuss with a guy who probably still claims aegis is the greatest thing since Konrad Zuse
21:15.46RST38hWho is Konrad Zuse? Some mucho German deathcamp torturer?
21:15.47DocScrutinizer05based on the proposition he contributed to it
21:16.20ajalkaneDocScrutinizer05: lol yeah... but well, I do agree in principle with him that aegis is good. But the platform security policy as implemented on Harmattan is stupid.
21:17.30DocScrutinizer05well, then I guess in ~24 months you both will agree Qt5 on HARM also is as great as aegis, only the way it got used by app devels made it suck donkey balls
21:18.16RST38hbtw, deploying kde apps without deploying the whole thing is very very difficult
21:18.21DocScrutinizer05~wiki zuse
21:18.30RST38hand deploying the whole thing makes it very very unusable

21:19.34djszapiah, yeah KDE is a crap, I forgot. :)
21:19.42RST38hno, not crap
21:19.44djszapiI brainwashed them in fact :D
21:19.57RST38hjust designed to be used standalone
21:19.59ajalkanelol... I think even today that Qt5 on Harmattan would be great. It just would have to be made practical. And it's not that. Nokia Store nor apps4meego support dependencies. And no one has made easy workflow for sharing the Qt5 libs. It needs to be easy for developers and users to get any usage.
21:20.16djszapiajalkane: you are wrong
21:20.30djszapiI have just said, we did make a nice workflow for this, even very well documented.
21:20.49ajalkanedjszapi: can you point me to the documentation?
21:21.37djszapiajalkane: sure, here you go: http://community.kde.org/KDE_Mobile/Harmattan#Packaging_your_KDE_Mobile_application_with_shared_libraries
21:21.57djszapiI can even cross-link tons of examples that implemented that.
21:22.17djszapiand of course, there is always the ministro way.
21:23.07djszapibtw, I do not think apps4meego is any good
21:23.09djszapifor the mass.
21:23.11DocScrutinizer05ajalkane: but wait, 24 months from now harmattan is dead like a a dinosaur turd fossil, thanks to Nokia discontinued the OVI signing shit that's needed for anything on HARM to work, thanks to insane aegis concept of centralized trust chain
21:23.30djszapiwhat is not in ovi, that does not matter to me unless the apps4meego guys get the client built into the firmware which is very unlike.
21:23.49ajalkanedjszapi: thanks... but isn't it waste of precious device space to include the same libs on every app?
21:24.37ajalkaneDocScrutinizer05: can inception/open kernel be used to get around that shit? Nokia's going down very soon anyway.
21:24.38djszapiajalkane: well, the answer is quite obvious
21:24.56djszapiajalkane: 1) 2.8M/usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4.8.1 ( for instance )
21:24.59djszapi2) Ministro way
21:25.03DocScrutinizer05ajalkane: it probably can, not though for the Nokia core apps
21:25.06djszapiI personally like the bundled stuff
21:25.18djszapiand I dislike distracting workflows etc
21:25.25djszapibut that is what you can do anyway
21:25.38djszapisure, you could become a cooker chef, if you dislike the reality.
21:25.47djszapibut I still like hacking anyway, and this is what can be done anyway. =)
21:26.40ajalkaneSure can be done... but I seriously doubt anyone would want to include multi megabyte libraries in their application unless they get big practical gains for the application... not just some stuff that helps Qt5 become better.

21:33.30djszapiwhat you can do.
21:33.40DocScrutinizer05incl all the apps that depend on aegis
21:34.00ajalkanedjszapi: that workflow is KDE specific. We need easy, QtCreator based workflow that's easy for anyone getting their feet wet with harmattan development
21:34.16djszapiit is not.
21:34.30djszapiThis theory has nothing to do with KDE.
21:34.36djszapisame applies to Android Qt, etc.
21:35.09djszapiwe just happened to be the first group inventing these things.
21:35.23*** join/#harmattan hardaker (~hardaker@mail.hardakers.net)
21:35.28ajalkanedjszapi: I'm not a fan of the same multimega inclusion of libraries included in every app. Why not put them into some shared location?
21:36.06djszapiajalkane: well, if you ignore me, then I am done. :)
21:36.12DocScrutinizer05meh, afk
21:36.49djszapi22:24 < djszapi> 2) Ministro way
21:37.00DocScrutinizer05since this chan is "KILL KILL!!!!" without proper ignore list, and friggin boring and mindboggling with
21:37.27ajalkanelol doc
21:37.44djszapi"...I personally like the bundled stuff..." "...and I dislike distracting workflows etc..."
21:37.48ajalkanedjszapi: I do not know the Ministro way, but I guess it's the libraries shared thingy?
21:38.05ajalkaneIs that some kind of installer that downloads the libs if needed?
21:38.05djszapiso, you would make your users life hard
21:38.12djszapiwith additional todos
21:38.21djszapiwho cares about 2 MB+ ?
21:38.25ajalkaneNo the point is, users life should be easy, and devs life should be easy
21:38.30djszapior 3 MB+ or 5 MB+ now ?
21:38.37djszapiminority
21:38.46DocScrutinizer05nobody gives a shit about devels' life
21:38.50djszapiand of course stuff is not designed for the majority.
21:39.09DocScrutinizer05it's all about the end result, as this isn't a development platform where the devel is the end user
21:39.30djszapiajalkane: yes... in Alice's world...
21:39.37djszapiyou can make dev's life easier here or users'
21:39.45djszapiI prefer users' life having simpler.
21:40.21DocScrutinizer05yet Nokia went over the top regarding this paradigm
21:40.44ajalkaneDocScrutinizer05: except the devels themselves :). I sure as hell don't have time to run through hoops to get some "latest gratest" working, unless there's a real good reason for it
21:40.48RST38hfarts
21:42.04ajalkanedjszapi: I dunno... to me those are pretty big sizes. Especially as 3mb/5mb is just the core library. Then there's the others libs on top of that.
21:42.10DocScrutinizer05ajalkane: then stick with ... gtk? MTF? maybe even Qt?
21:42.19djszapiajalkane: again who cares ?
21:42.31djszapiuntil there are tons of applications, when the need arises for fixing ?
21:42.37ajalkaneDocScrutinizer05: On Harmattan QML + C++ works well
21:42.38djszapiWe are talking about boosting a project
21:42.42djszapiwalking step by step
21:42.54DocScrutinizer05as there's never been a reaaly sound reason for all this framework_of_the_month madness
21:43.01RST38hsighs and notices how they are talking about completely wrong things
21:43.06djszapiand "sure as hell", bundled stuff is way easier to deal with for end users Joe
21:43.13RST38hThe topic should be making/keeping project RELEVANT
21:43.19djszapithan getting dependencies right "on their own"./
21:43.40DocScrutinizer05wonders how to make his farts relevant
21:45.14DocScrutinizer05as yet another dalvik-2-epigone on a walking dead platform like HARM foir sure isn't
21:45.15ajalkanedjszapi: I can only talk about myself, but I'm not going to arbitrarily make my application 10-20 times its size just to boosting Qt5 project, unless my application uses something that benefits greatly from that increase in size
21:45.51djszapiwell, you will not help Qt5 make a success that way :)
21:46.06djszapibut I do not worry too much about your involvement anyway.
21:46.19itsnotabigtruckwhen does the ovi x.509 certificate expire
21:46.35itsnotabigtruckwhen do the repository signing gpg keys expire (if they ever do)
21:46.55djszapiwe will still do the job.
21:47.01djszapisince we like Qt anyway.
21:47.34ajalkanedjszapi: Even if I would use qt5, my contribution would not make qt5 success. I simply don't have time to contribute to qt5. If I was paid to work on Qt related technology, things would be different.
21:48.23djszapiperhaps, you do not know what contribution means.
21:48.36djszapior rather: you define that differently than the rest of us, contributors.
21:48.46ajalkanePerhaps
21:48.58djszapicontributor is even any simpler tester, bug reporter, etc
21:49.03DocScrutinizer05ajalkane: why should your contribution to HARM / maemo help qt5 anyway? what's the benefit for HARM in that?
21:49.33*** join/#harmattan heymaster (~heymaster@78.61.212.188)
21:49.51DocScrutinizer05I mean, have all those customers bought N9 to support qt devels or what?
21:49.59djszapito be honest, I have not felt recently this hostile atmosphere towards Qt5 recently, but whatever.
21:50.20ajalkaneDocScrutinizer05: I know too little about all the details of Qt5, but from the little I know the main advantages of Qt5 on Harmattan would be efficiency of QML and 3D. Basically QML based games would benefit.'
21:50.37djszapiajalkane: absolutely wrong
21:50.41DocScrutinizer05to make qt5 a better framework, and devels' life a breeze
21:50.45djszapithat is the only thing which would not change most likely.
21:50.56djszapiopengl remains opengl like I siad.
21:51.02djszapisaid*
21:52.45DocScrutinizer05suggests a short look into python history, and (lacking) success of python3, and maybe learn from the sad story
21:52.45ajalkaneDocScrutinizer05: But really when you get down to it, my interest of Qt5 on harmattan is because I got into the Maemo summer '12 Qt5 device program. That's the basis of my interest in it.
21:53.12itsnotabigtruckoh shit
21:53.16ajalkaneThat's why I'm looking into it, and trying to see if there's some smart way to go about it
21:53.20itsnotabigtruckthere's 4 harmattan repo signing keys expiring in 2012
21:53.30itsnotabigtruckoctober 3rd, specifically
21:53.51ajalkaneoctober you say? Hmm... I'm smelling a master plan somewhere in Elop's nest.
21:53.52itsnotabigtruckthe appsformeego key doesn't expire until 2020 and the maemosw and genss keys don't ever expire
21:54.04DocScrutinizer05itsnotabigtruck: goood! so maybe just maybe Nokia will refresh them before they fire the only guy knowing how to do that
21:54.07itsnotabigtruckthe expiring ones are "nokia repository signing key Nv1"
21:54.40itsnotabigtruckso the question is whether those keys are actually used to sign the 001 etc. repositories
21:54.43itsnotabigtruckif not, then it's a false alarm
21:55.11DocScrutinizer05but then, otoh, what's the use of signing keys when nobody is around to use them (you know it's always key pairs. sure you do)
21:56.38itsnotabigtruckto verify signatures generated via those keys
21:56.49djszapiajalkane: well, essentially you look at Qt5 from different angle than us, hackers of that.
21:56.59DocScrutinizer05and what if you need a new signature?
21:57.02itsnotabigtruckwhich is needed as long as harmattan phones are around
21:57.05itsnotabigtruckand probably fremantle too
21:57.08djszapiwe wanna make that a success, but you do not give a shit about that, just use that if it is ever available.
21:57.35itsnotabigtruckDocScrutinizer05: what? as long as the content doesn't change, which probably won't be happening if nokia closes shop >_>
21:57.38DocScrutinizer05nah, on fremantle we live happily without any such signatures basically
21:57.41itsnotabigtruckthe signatures are valid as long as the key is valid
21:57.44djszapi"nicely", that is. Whatever it means, I have not already said.
21:57.53itsnotabigtruckand i'd bet you'd find you're incorrect
21:57.55DocScrutinizer05there are some, but not that essentially important to the whole thing
21:57.58itsnotabigtruckas with most things
21:57.59ajalkanedjszapi: You summarized it it pretty well.
21:58.26DocScrutinizer05ok, thanks for reminding me
21:58.35djszapiajalkane: well, it is fine. It is healthy, if you are not enthusiast and biased about Qt. :)
21:58.38DocScrutinizer05another ignore
21:59.03DocScrutinizer05friggin insane channel
21:59.19djszapiajalkane: we are desperate dudes xD
21:59.36ajalkanedjszapi: I like Qt, but my free time is really limited. If I had more time, I'd probably hack even on Qt. But now I barely have time to do some small applications. And even that half-assed.
22:00.09djszapiwell, the reason does not matter in the end.
22:00.26djszapiyou are not biased and enthusiast to put work into that for whatever reasons.
22:01.00ajalkaneI'd like to put that on my tombstone. "ajalkane was not biased"
22:01.09DocScrutinizer05isn't it significant how those who shout at each other the most are most identical in their twisted ways
22:01.30DocScrutinizer05heads over to tmo ca thread, fetches some more popcorn
22:02.35ajalkaneI recommend some good wine with the popcorn!
22:04.58djszapiwith your mentality there would be no KDE4
22:05.05djszapior perhaps even prior KDE versions
22:05.30djszapiwhen QGV came out, that was a royal PITA to use with full of bugs, on top of which, Plasma has been based.
22:05.34ajalkaneI think there would.
22:05.48djszapihard to use, so do not use.
22:06.35djszapibut even in this case, I do not see what is hard
22:06.44djszapiafaict, I have enumerated the available two approaches.
22:07.11djszapiboth are pretty simple to implement.
22:07.42ajalkaneMaybe I just suck, but I think it would take me many hours to get it working.
22:08.12djszapito write one line for a shared library into your control file ?
22:08.30djszapirules*
22:08.33ajalkaneRemember, I don't use cmake
22:08.56djszapiwhat has debian packaging to do with cmake wrt the rules file and simple copy?
22:10.15ajalkaneI dunno. Maybe the packaging is really easy. Frankly I haven't even gotten that far. I've used many hours just to get the qt5 cross-complation + QtCreator to work together well
22:11.01djszapiwhy would you cross-compile ?
22:11.05djszapiin the first place.
22:11.21djszapithey usually provide up to date qt5 packages.
22:11.59ajalkaneIf I'm using alpha releases I like to be able to compile them myself. Especially if I need to modify something.
22:12.30djszapiwhy would you modify something, if you do not have time?
22:12.58ajalkaneif I have no other choice, ie. it will speed up my progress
22:13.04djszapibut I can understand your painy, if you do not do nicely...
22:13.12djszapiand you ignore the simplifcation they do...
22:14.30djszapiperhaps, you could try out the packages.
22:14.32djszapiyou will love it.

22:15.10M4rtinKfrom my perspective until there are Python bindings for it, Qt 5 is pretty irrelevant for me
22:15.30ajalkaneMaybe. But I didn't have huge problems compiling them. I'm mostly battling QtCreator now.
22:15.41djszapiajalkane: lol...
22:16.02djszapiM4rtinK: that makes no sense
22:16.20djszapiI mean python is obviously not available for something which is not even released or close that anyway

22:17.48ajalkanehaha, might be

22:19.22M4rtinKdjszapi: yeah, I know, it would not be very wise to start building the bindings until things are more stabilized
22:19.48M4rtinKbut the lack of bindings still means a can't use it at the moment :)
22:20.05ajalkaneWell, IMO to gain in development popularity in harm it should be easy in QtCreator
22:20.35djszapiajalkane: your problem is not with Qt5
22:20.40djszapiyour problem is with QtCreator.
22:21.32ajalkaneMy problem is with dev ease + user ease. And I don't even think I have real problem, as I think these can be solved.
22:21.38djszapiIt is not something many people working on Qt5 including me will ever fix this for you.
22:21.47djszapisimply because many qt devs dislike qtcreator.

22:23.50M4rtinKI think dependency handling is more serious that Qt Creator support
22:24.14djszapiyou mean "than" or "supports" ?
22:24.33M4rtinK*than
22:25.01djszapiand what is incomplete or incorrect what I mentioned about that issue afore ?
22:27.00M4rtinKI'm just saying what I think is more important
22:27.42djszapiright, but what is not done deal about that?
22:28.38djszapiajalkane: pretty please, just ask for the total removal of the project instead of help :)
22:28.47djszapi(qtcreator, that is lol...)
22:29.09M4rtinKif that KDE developed shared library scheme is generic enough for non-Qt apps, than everything is fine :)
22:29.17ajalkanedjszapi: No need, Elop is slowly crossing from Finland's Lapland towards Norway as we chat
22:29.30djszapiM4rtinK: it is.
22:29.43djszapiajalkane: who cares about Elop ?
22:29.52itsnotabigtruckyay, i got docscrutinizer to ignore me >_>
22:30.01M4rtinK..but i still thing "proper" package management would work too :)
22:30.06itsnotabigtrucki am probably being a bit cranky right now :(
22:30.15djszapiajalkane: if any, I would talk about MeeGo as the culsprit.
22:31.34djszapiajalkane: yeah, I know many people were blindly following the "new wave" dictated, but that has not made that good itself.
22:31.49ajalkaneElop's the one swinging the axe. You know he likes to do it.
22:32.09djszapiElop did not decide about MeeGo.
22:32.42djszapiwhich twisted Nokia into a kinda desperate state.
22:33.29SpeedEvilThings went icky with maemo way before Elop.
22:33.30ajalkaneNo matter... he's the executioner.'
22:33.42itsnotabigtruckdjszapi: he clearly decided to abort meego
22:33.50itsnotabigtruckmost decisions can't be traced all the way up to the ceo, but this one can
22:33.51djszapiajalkane: it was a wrack at Elop times.
22:33.53SpeedEvilI mean - ovi store stopped working what - ~6mo in
22:33.55djszapialready.
22:33.58djszapieven before that.
22:34.13itsnotabigtruckalso...what do you mean "ovi store stopped working"
22:34.14itsnotabigtruckwhat happened
22:34.35SpeedEvilitsnotabigtruck: Ovi store was for a while to be how commercial apps were distributed on n900
22:34.36djszapiitsnotabigtruck: again, how cares about the meego cancellation ?
22:34.54djszapiitsnotabigtruck: the most appropriate question: why was MeeGo born in the first place ?
22:35.11djszapimostly to kill Maemo totally.
22:35.19djszapito commit suicide about the only proven platform.
22:35.30djszapithis makes me sad again :-S
22:35.47itsnotabigtruckdjszapi: that sounds a bit conspiratorial...why would they cook up some fancy plan to "kill maemo" when it would easily do that on its own, with time
22:36.10djszapiitsnotabigtruck: N9 was (still is) people like
22:36.13djszapiit is shiny etc
22:36.30djszapiand this was achieved by 50% of available resources, if not more.
22:36.34djszapiand I am *not* speculating here.
22:36.47djszapiI *was* shared between the two projects.
22:37.02djszapiif not less*
22:38.17djszapiand even meego, why the darn loosy Intel ? :o
22:40.50djszapiat least not the rpi foundation, but not much better...
22:44.26djszapiPerhaps there were even big problems before establishing MeeGo, but that was surely a big head cut.

23:09.55djszapihaving a boolean property for enabling the quit...
23:11.27djszapihmm, that would not actually help
23:12.02djszapiwell, you could have a C++ accessor for getting the platform.
23:12.10djszapiand set the visibl property of the quit thingy
23:13.41M4rtinKwell, its not a problem to disable it
23:14.18M4rtinKbut to do that without any graphical glitches
23:14.32M4rtinKif I set visible : false and height : 0
23:14.49M4rtinKit won't show up but the menu bottom is not round anymore
23:15.31M4rtinKI've also tried adding the Quit button to a second menu layout anchored on the first one
