Riddell:
5.11.3 is due out tomorrow, all bugfixes welcome
I'm planning on going on holiday for a couple of weeks at the end of January,
this clashes with plasma 5.12.0LTS release, is anyone able to do that instead?

not done much plasma this week; a couple of fixes in KAStats
I do have a new proposed fix for the wl_proxy_create_wrapper crash
Sho:

sebas:
* Looking into kscreen bugs

[12:08:18] <notmart> * kcms redesign and kirigami: long missing component which

now fixing it following david's review
[12:08:18] <sKreamer> Diff 8641 "FormLayout" [Needs Review]
https://phabricator.kde.org/D8641
[12:08:25] --> cotko3 (~ah...@89-212-138-82.static.t-2.net) has joined #plasma
[12:08:28] <-- CrKit (~nekit@85.143.20.2) has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[12:08:49] <d_ed> yeah, good stuff with that layout
[12:08:55] <-- cotko4 (~ah...@89-212-138-82.static.t-2.net) has quit (Ping
timeout: 255 seconds)
[12:09:01] <notmart> questions? next?
[12:09:14] <notmart> thx :)
[12:09:31] <Riddell> 5.11.3 is due out tomorrow, all bugfixes welcome
[12:10:17] <Riddell> I'm planning on going on holiday for a couple of weeks at
the end of January, this clashes with plasma 5.12.0LTS release, is anyone able
to do that instead?
[12:10:17] <d_ed> notmart: btw, latest frameworks is tagged, so you can merge
one or two of the patches that you had queued
[12:10:19] <kbroulik> notmart: does your layout also take into account otehr
platforms?
[12:10:27] <kbroulik> QFormLayout with right-aligned labels is a KDE thing
[12:10:34] <d_ed> Riddell: sure
[12:10:41] <Riddell> d_ed: great :)
[12:10:44] <kbroulik> but yeah, good stuff, desperately needed
[12:10:49] <Riddell> should be easy enough, it's the beta that takes the extra
work
[12:10:57] <notmart_> kbroulik: not really at the moment, i guess i can make
some adjustment for a "windows" mode
[12:11:01] -*- Riddell done
[12:11:08] <Sho_> do we try to upstream formlayout to qqc2?
[12:11:25] <kbroulik> layouts is not part of qqc
[12:11:31] <kbroulik> but for upstreaming it probably needs to become C++
[12:11:33] <notmart_> from Qt, i would like it done
[12:11:38] --> Son_Goku (~King_InuY@fedora/ngompa) has joined #plasma
[12:11:38] <Sho_> *qt
[12:11:40] <kbroulik> and then I dont think the label-mechanism Marco did is in
line with their "vision"
[12:11:48] <notmart_> Sho_: from qt i would like it dome in a campletely
different way tough
[12:12:03] <notmart_> i would like it an actual layout implementation
completely in c++
[12:12:49] <Sho_> so we wrote something we don't actually want and expect to
drop again causing us to port lots of ui code?
[12:12:56] <notmart_> my architecture was mostly how to make it as easy to
maintain as possible while not being able to use their private stuff
[12:13:26] <notmart_> which as a collateral result ended up with an api which i
love that i would prefer to an actual layout thing i guess..
[12:14:35] <notmart_> i think if they do an actual form layout (which i think
is more in line with a pure positioner theng) i would simply port my thing to
it, which should make it become slightly simpler in code
[12:14:50] <Sho_> ah ok
[12:14:50] <kbroulik> (famous last words)
[12:14:59] <notmart_> and i would still like more my api as it has a semantic
"there goes labels and only lables" thing
[12:15:14] <sebas> I like the approach
[12:15:27] <kbroulik> especially since it should make it easier to adjust it to
a phone (labels ontop)
[12:15:36] <sebas> let's move on though, Riddell: you were done?
[12:15:43] <Sho_> I don't mean to be stoppy, I just always wish we would be
more aggressive about upstream work to get more influence, too. KDE always
keeps to itself and it's often harmful
[12:15:43] <Riddell> I was
[12:16:08] <sebas> Sho_, d_ed, kborulik, /me
[12:16:30] <Sho_> quickly improv'd notes
[12:16:33] <Sho_> * Released Simple Menu v1.0.4
[12:16:33] <Sho_> * Moved Simple Menu to kdereview, so it can get a Bugzilla
product soon
[12:16:33] <Sho_> * Tested the wine fix I worked with them on, wine apps now
show up nicely in the Task Manager
[12:16:34] <Sho_> * Still working on libtm URL chaos fix
[12:16:34] <Sho_> * Non-plasma: Working on search support in the new

[12:17:16] <Sho_> next()
[12:17:25] <kbroulik> awesome @wine thing
[12:18:00] <sebas> d_ed!
[12:18:31] <d_ed> not done much plasma this week; a couple of fixes in KAStats
[12:18:40] <d_ed> I do have a new proposed fix for the wl_proxy_create_wrapper
crash
[12:18:47] <d_ed> which it would be good if someone can test out
[12:19:02] <kbroulik> oooh
[12:19:03] <kbroulik> show me
[12:19:24] <Sho_> tell me what i need to do and can test later
[12:19:30] <kbroulik> fvogt might also want to have a look
[12:19:35] <d_ed> it's attached in the bug report.
[12:19:44] <d_ed> but I guess that's drowned out in all the mark as duplicates
[12:19:52] <kbroulik> https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=108673 ftr
[12:20:07] <d_ed> you beat me at bugzilla :O
[12:20:37] <notmart_> [12:15] <kbroulik> especially since it should make
it easier to adjust it to a phone (labels ontop)

[12:20:43] <kbroulik> d_ed: I learnt from the best
[12:20:46] <notmart_> preliminar support to that^^

protocol, inquiring ... I'll CC: plasma-devel likely
[12:23:55] <-- Son_Goku (~King_InuY@fedora/ngompa) has quit (Quit: My MacBook
has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…)
[12:24:05] <-- Two_Dogs (~snak-kat@unaffiliated/almoxarife) has quit (Quit:
Konversation terminated!)
[12:24:15] <sebas> (he's a Sway developer)
[12:24:27] <Sho_> we have some problems with plasma mobile communication
though. the roadmap blog prompted confused walk ins wondering if pm is a
distro,or something to be pa
[12:24:34] <Sho_> *packaged, etc
[12:24:40] <notmart_> sebas: about a wayland extension for that?
[12:24:46] <sebas> walk ins on irc?
[12:24:49] <Sho_> then three people tried to answer and gave confused,
conflicting answers
[12:25:02] <sebas> notmart_: no, let me pastebin
[12:25:22] <sebas> https://paste.kde.org/pentnpzos
[12:25:36] <Sho_> there's no clarity on how pm and pp relate to each other or
to the rest of the world, we probably need to do something similar to the
rebranding task force to fix our comm
[12:25:41] <sebas> Sho_: was that on irc, or where?
[12:25:47] <kbroulik> a point of confusion that came up on Friday was plasma
phone vs plasma mobile
[12:25:52] <notmart_> ah, ok
[12:25:53] <Sho_> yep IRC
[12:25:57] <sebas> I can do a blog "what is Plasma Mobile" and explain how it's
an upstream plus reference implementation
[12:26:12] <Sho_> will send you relevant log via email in about one hour
[12:26:16] <sebas> I can scroll up and read
[12:26:20] <sebas> ow, yes, please
[12:26:28] <Sho_> it's was a very useful/interesting discussion imho
[12:26:57] <sebas> I'm running out of immininent topics on PM, but it's useful
to keep it in the blogosphere I think
[12:27:07] <Sho_> yup
[12:28:44] <sebas> alright ... meeting done then
[12:28:48] <sebas> thanks everybody
[12:29:02] <Sho_> ok I'll go bike to my next desk and then send you that log
mail :)
[12:29:03] <sebas> I'll be away next week most likely, so if someone else can
run this, please
[12:29:09] <Sho_> will do
[12:29:10] <sebas> cool, thanks
[12:29:18] <sebas> cheers!
[12:29:22] <sebas> I'll email the log shortly
