| 15:53 | manusheel | dfarning: Anurag is not around now. It seems he has permission problems in jhbuild about what we discussed yesterday. |
| 15:53 | dfarning: He'll be able to solve it soon. | |
| 15:54 | dfarning | manusheel, have him ping me please. we can work it out. |

| 17:09 | manusheel | shan__: Hi Shan. |
| 17:09 | Did you look at the patch send by David? | |
| 17:09 | shan__ | manusheel :having a look at it now. |
| 17:10 | manusheel | shan__: Great. |
| 17:13 | shan___ has joined #dextrose | |
| 17:16 | shan__ has quit IRC | |
| 17:19 | shan___ | manusheel: we are free to make changes to either the emulator or the sugar-jhbuild , right? |
| 17:19 | manusheel | shan__: Yes. |
| 17:24 | shan___ | understood sir, so all it actually takes is getting to the right file(which would come definately by practice, as in what file contains what details and stuff) and the know-how of what each function of the code is doing/implementing..?...and then change what ever is required to get the desired effect.... |
| 17:24 | manusheel | shan___: Yes, Shan. More important, moving forward is subject matter expertise. |
| 17:25 | shan___ | yes yes... |
| 17:26 | manusheel | shan___: Can you tell me the name of the bug number? |
| 17:27 | shan___ | name?...bug no. is 1169 |
| 17:27 | Drop down menus give no indication of their existence, also are too slow to load...is the heading | |
| 17:30 | manusheel:what exactly are u looking for?.. | |
| 17:31 | manusheel | shan__: Did you look at the patch? |
| 17:33 | shan___ | yes sir |
| 17:33 | manusheel | shan__: Did it help/ |
| 17:34 | ? | |
| 17:35 | shan___ | frankly sir, it'll take a a lot more time to go thru all of the code , and get to all functions and all...am still looking at the codes... |
| 17:37 | manusheel | shan__: Ok. |
| 17:41 | dfarning | shan___, did you figure out the patch i sent |
| 17:41 | manusheel | shan__: Around? |
| 17:44 | shan has joined #dextrose | |
| 17:44 | shan | dfarning: sorry, net problem... |
| 17:46 | shan___ has quit IRC | |
| 17:46 | dfarning | shan, np. did you figure out the patch I sent? |
| 17:47 | shan | dfarning: yes i had a look at it, i have a few things to ask first though.. |
| 17:48 | dfarning | shar sure. |
| 17:48 | shan | these changes hve been made in the jhbuild?...could we not have just changed some part of the code in the emulator ?...i mean how different are the two?... |
| 17:50 | dfarning | shan, the patch I sent you came from some work done for a release of sugar called dextros. It is being done in paraguay... but not all of the patches have been sent upstream yet. |
| 17:51 | shan, they just noticed the same bug we did. | |
| 17:52 | shan | okay... |
| 17:53 | dfarning | shan, WRT jhbuild. sugar-jhbuild is the most recent source that the upstream developers use. so any changes we make should be patches to the source in jhbuild. |
| 17:54 | shan, when you run './sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator' you are running the lastest version of the code. | |
| 17:54 | shan | okay....got it.....all there is to be done is open the correct file and changing the correct thing...understood... |
| 17:55 | dfarning | shan, on the other hand, when you run the sugar-emulater from the menu you are running the verson of the code which we have packaged for debian and ubuntu. |
| 17:56 | shan, the packaged stuff is usually about 6-12 months behind the jhbuild stuff:( | |
| 17:58 | shan | okay, so what this meeans is, we can actually remove the bug from either the jhbuild or the emulator, bt we prefer to do it fro the jhbuild, coz its the most recent version... |
| 17:58 | ?...right? | |
| 17:58 | manusheel | shan: Right. |
| 17:58 | shan | no wonder, i was mighty confused with this...was looking up in emulator files throughout... |
| 17:59 | manusheel | shan: Shan, emulator files are helpful in understanding the things too at times. |
| 17:59 | shan: Glad you have an idea on it. | |
| 18:00 | ishan has quit IRC | |
| 18:00 | dfarning | shan, jhbuild includes an emulator.... so it is more correct to think about the jhbuild code vs the installed code. |
| 18:01 | shan | okay |
| 18:01 | dfarning | shan, confusing:) |
| 18:02 | shan | it actually is...bt the mist is now clearing...:) |
| 18:04 | dfarning | shan, so what I would do is a) cd into sugar-jhbuild/source/sugar b) create a a working git branch c) apply the patch to make sure it works d) then create your own patch and send it to the sugar-devel mailing list. |
| 18:06 | shan | git branch?.... |
| 18:06 | dfarning | shan, I think kandarpk followed the same process yesterday so he could talk you thorough it... or else i can |
| 18:06 | shan, are you familar with git? | |
| 18:07 | shan | a little bit, we actually add files here which we need to modify, and then make the patch here....its actually a management system...to link up all versions of codes... |
| 18:09 | dfarning | shan, yes technically it is called a distributed version control system:) but yes in help manage versions of code. |
| 18:09 | shan | yes yes.... |
| 18:10 | so the technically making of a patch and everything comes into 'git branch' ? | |
| 18:10 | dfarning | shan, a good understanding of git is going to be critical. It is a little hard to learn.... but it is amazing one you understand it. |
| 18:12 | shan, I recommend taking a couple of hours going though http://gitref.org/ to get a working knowldege of git. then ping me back... the 4 step I mentioned above will then make a lot more sense. | |
| 18:28 | shan has quit IRC | |
| 18:31 | shan has joined #dextrose | |
| 18:38 | shan | dfarning: yes yes i'll have a look at these. |
| 18:38 | dfarning | shan, ok I am off the luch will be back in an hour or so. |
| 19:08 | shan has quit IRC | |
| 19:51 | anurag | dfarning: around? |
| 19:52 | dfarning: I am facing issues on updating sugar-jhbuild (running ./sugar-jhbuild update). Evaluating where I am facing problem. | |
| 19:52 | dfarning: Sugar-jhbuild was running fine on my machine earlier. | |
