SteveAAh... debian packaging14:35
SteveAI had a request from the sprint organiser...14:36
SteveAI'll find it14:36
SteveAalso, he wants our .po files to do a french translation :-/14:36
SteveAI explained that translations are off the menu atm.14:36
mgedmindebian packages were on my to-do list14:36
mgedmini18n wasn't14:36
SteveAright -- we should put that in the next proposal14:36
mgedminI can imagine (more or less) how the debian packages should look like14:37
mgedminthings are not all that clear with plain .tar.gz packaging14:37
mgedminthere were requests to split client from the server14:37
algayep14:37
mgedminalga suggested two archives:14:37
mgedminclient14:37
mgedminand server + client14:37
algayep14:37
mgedmin(server needs csvclient for sampleschool and cmdline client for ftests)14:38
algaI think that's the way to go for now14:38
algathat way the debs will be generated from 1 src package14:38
SteveAalga: how are you?14:40
algaSteveA: OK when reclined14:40
algamy back doesn't quite bend though14:41
SteveAoh -- something other than your nose / throat thing?14:41
alganose-throat, but somewhat different14:43
algamy back muscles hurt like I have been sunburnt14:44
SteveAsounds like an evil virus thing14:45
algamhm14:51

algammaybe19:04
mgedmineasy to verify: did you see 'things to do before the release'?19:05
algais šo šlooow19:05
algammm, not sure19:05
algalook, I'm trying to get through to it via links on fridge19:05
alga   We should not use the Makefile for running things, we should use portable    19:07
alga   Python scripts instead.                                                      19:07
algawhat is that supposed to mean?19:07
algado you intend to write those scripts before release?19:08
mgedminyes19:08
mgedmindo you think we shouldn't?19:08
mgedminI'm thinking about 5-line python scripts19:08
algaam thinkink is diffikult19:08
mgedminthat just set sys.path appropriatelly, import main from schooltool.clients.something and call it19:08
algahm19:08
mgedminthose scripts will live in /usr/bin in debian packages19:08
algalots of scripts?19:08
mgedminor in the project root in source archive19:09
mgedminlet's see19:09
algawhat about schooltool.py19:09
algaschooltool run19:09
mgedmin'run server', 'run cmdline client', 'run wxclient'19:09
algaschooltool runwxclient19:09
mgedminmaybe 'create & import sample school'19:09
mgedminno scripts for unit/functional tests definitely19:09
algaok19:09
mgedminno separate script for building extension modules (setup.py is good enough19:09
mgedmin)19:09
algaiis setup.py needed?19:10
mgedminyes19:10
algawhat are distutils fo anyway?19:10
mgedminit builds zodb/persistence extension modules19:10
alganothing more?19:10
mgedminwe use it for nothing more19:10
mgedminit could potentially be used for installing things19:10
mgedminor building py2exe style installers19:10
mgedminI'm not proposing to do that for this release19:11
algaOK19:15
algayep, that thing looks fine19:15
