IRC log of #schooltool for Friday, 2005-09-23

th1ajinty:  Are you taking a crack at generating the Windows packages, or do I need to do that?00:00
jintyI think i'll give that a pass00:17
th1aJust making sure.  Wasn't sure what script of gintas you were referring to.00:18
jintyOh pain, changes to the Zope3.1 branch broke our release branch00:46
jintyso, till another day00:46
*** srichter has quit IRC00:49
jintyth1a, bskahan: we also need to fix the permissions on the /home/ftp/pub/schooltool directroy. Perhaps set the special group bit on the directory so all files added to that directory have the release group and I don't get locked out of the release tree00:50
jintywhew! goodnight00:50

* jinty violently takes back ownership of the release directory and sets the directory special bit14:06
jintyargh, the unix way is too strong, bskahan, th1a, help14:07
mgedmindirectory special bit?  is that the sticky one?14:07
jintyyeah14:08
jintybecause the files in the release directory are group release, but two people have changed them14:09

srichterI think it is the right thing to do14:58
srichteruse "python test.py ..." for usual test runs :-)14:58
srichterbskahan: how is the documentation for the viewlet slots coming?15:00
jintyperhaps the buildbot should be building and testing tarballs...15:01
srichterjinty: that would be good; but it only needs to do this once a day, I think15:02
bskahanignas, pong15:02
jintysrtichter15:02
bskahansrichter, the wireframes are done, writing the documentation for them15:02
srichtercool15:03
bskahanjinty, what do you need?15:03
jintysrichter: As soon as I ge back access to the release directory I can start nightly builds15:03
srichtermy work time will be limited over the next 2.5 weeks, since my parents in law are coming and then I am going to Germany for the NEckarSprint15:03
srichterbut I'll try to do some work anyways15:03
srichterjinty: cool15:03
jintybskahan: /home/ftp/bub/schooltool/release has owner:group hoffman:hoffman15:04
bskahanth1a, can we specify that the default schooltool skin fits 1024X768 and maybe provide a secondary skin for 800x600?15:04
bskahanjinty, lame, I'll fix it15:04
srichterbskahan: I would assume 1024x768 - dimensions of usual browser windows...15:04
bskahansrichter, my only concern is that we have a stated goal of targeting developing regions (where 1024 may not be that common)15:05
povbot/svn/commits: * mg committed revision 5083:15:05
povbot/svn/commits: Document 'lang auto'.  Text borrowed from schoolbell.conf.in.  See http://issues.schooltool.org/issue39915:05
srichterreally?15:06
bskahancurrently, the calendar views don't fit 800x60015:10
bskahanjinty, all the permissions in ftp should be correct now15:13
ignasbskahan, issue - http://issues.schooltool.org/issue35615:16
ignaswas ical TZ support left out intentionally when implementing timezone support?15:17
bskahanno, I will fix that bug15:18
bskahanjinty, when is the release?15:18
bskahani didn't test using it with ical with events in different timezones15:19
povbot/svn/commits: * jinty committed revision 5084:15:19
bskahandumb oversite, since I only really run around in one timezone15:19
povbot/svn/commits: Include bits of zope required to make the release branch work with recent Zope-3.1 versions.15:19
ignasbskahan, imho that might take some time ... it's not a trivial bug ...15:22
ignasat the moment we are keeping all the times in UTC15:22
ignasthough to import/export ical calendars properly - we would have to keep individual times in their Timezone15:22
ignaslike - my wake up call is 8:00-9:00 (Vilnius/Europe), IRC meeting is 16:30-17:30 (UTC)15:23
ignasand they shift relatively when DST of Vilnius/Europe kicks in ...15:23
ignasthat might have some UI implications ...15:23
ignasat the moment events do not have timezones set for each of them, and all day events handle timezones differently altogether IIRC (might be wrong)15:24
ignasjust thought i'd share the information i have gathered while playing with evolution/ST/ical and timezones15:25
bskahanI think we should continue to store dates in UTC, fix the import parsing of timezones, export in UTC or the users schooltool preference15:25
bskahanthe if the client application handles UTC correctly, your events should keep consistent time15:26
ignasno, that will not happen ...15:26
ignasas I said - utc has no DST ...15:27
ignasor maybe ... i haven't read ical spec15:27
ignasabout DST15:27
bskahancorrect, so an event at 12:00 UTC should show up at the correct vilnius time with/without DST15:28
ignasyes ... and the other way around - I do not want my wake up call shifting when DST is on ...15:28
ignasnot sure what would happen now with simple events ...15:28
ignasi should test it ...15:29
ignasadd an event at 9:0015:29
ignasshift date to trigger DST15:29
ignasrestart server15:29
bskahanright, so we store your wakup at UTC, then any use of the date is required to translate that into the current correct timezone (DST or not)15:29
ignasIMHO event will shift15:29
bskahanit may not be working properly, but I think it should work that way15:29
bskahanI believe that doesn't happen15:30
ignastime for a test :D15:30
bskahanyour right, there should be a test, I'm not sure how to do that in an ftest15:30
jintybskahan: real real soon15:31
bskahanjinty, (tm)?15:31
bskahanignas, do we really need start/end available in different timezones?15:32
bskahanfor a single event?15:32
bskahanis there a usecase for that?15:32
ignasimho - not nescessarry but ICAL does it that way15:32
bskahanexcept an airplane flight time15:32
povbot/svn/commits: * jinty committed revision 5085:15:34
povbot/svn/commits: Include bits of zope required to make the schooltool release branch work with recent Zope-3.1 versions.15:34
ignaswell - shift happens15:34
bskahanheh15:35
ignasif you have a non recurrent event - no problems15:35
ignasDST of the date matters15:35
ignasnot DST of your PC15:35
ignasbut if you add a daily recurring event15:35

ignas(set TZ to Vilnius first)15:36
ignasit jumps to 14:00-15:00 in 10-2315:36
ignas2005-10-23 that is ...15:36
ignaseasily ftestable ;)15:36
bskahanok, that needs to be fixed in the recurrence expansion15:37
bskahandid you try changing your computers time?15:37
ignasno need for that15:38
ignasbut yes15:38
ignascomputer time is not influencing it in any way ...15:38
bskahanok15:38
ignasthe problem is - what about schoolwide calendars ?15:38

jintyThe first error log for the nightly trunk tarball build: ftp://ftp.schooltool.org/pub/schooltool/releases/nightly-error15:41
jintysrichter: yes, I admit zpkg is somewhat cool15:41
ignasok, our timetable schema is not timezone aware at all15:45
ignasnot sure how that will play with tt overlays, and export to ical, but got no time to check that15:46
*** hazmat_ has left #schooltool15:46
srichterjinty: I am glad you like it :-)16:05
srichteroh, testbrowser is not listed as a dependency yet; strange16:05
srichteryou know there is a schooltool-test.py script under releases/ that builds packages for you, right? :-)16:06
ignasis it possible to pass a StringIO to Template constructor ?16:16
jintysrichter: Yep, my nightly build script is just a wrapper for schooltool-test.py16:17
* ignas is thinking whether it is feasable to write a Class for testing macros kept in files like calendar_macros.pt, view_macros.pt and etc.16:17
jintyand I still have doubt's about the interaction with debian packaging16:18
jintyand the '../../../zpkgtools/bin/zpkg' must go16:19
srichterignas: I don't understand what you mean16:30
srichterjinty: well the path was for testingpurposes only; it's not meant to be reusable software :-)16:30
ignassrichter, never mind that ... just  thinking aloud ...16:31
jintysrichter: perhaps it should evolve into a release building and testing script16:33
srichterif you think it is worth the effort ;-)16:35
jintyfor me, it is worth the effort. I want a reproducable way of building and testing releases. nightly tarball builds are a part of that.16:38
srichterthen you should do it; and remember to contribute it back to Zope 3 :-)16:39
povbot/svn/commits: * jinty committed revision 5091:16:51
povbot/svn/commits: Tweak gintas release building script to run the tests from an unpacked tarball rather than a checked out repository.16:51
ignassrichter, what about licence issues ?16:53
srichteryou have to contribute the code as ZPL16:55
ignasand ST code is not ZPL16:56
srichterignas: but Jinty does not get paid for his work, so he is free to relicense his code under ZPL16:58
jintyone of the advantages of not being paid...16:58
srichteryep16:59
ignassrichter, what about contributors agreement ?16:59
ignasdid jinty sign it ?16:59
jintyno16:59
srichterwell, he would have to sign one, preferably16:59
ignasoh :D16:59
srichterotherwise someone from ZC has to check his code in16:59
srichterbut jinty is working on Zope 3 packaging stuff, so it would be a good idea for him to become a contributor anyways17:00
jintyer, I guess im being co-opted;)17:00
jintywhere do I find a contributors agreement to sign?17:02
srichterhttp://www.zope.org/DevHome/CVS/Contributor.pdf17:03
srichtersign it and send a scanned copy to Jim and one per snail mail17:04

bskahanit should be fixed now18:04

povbot/svn/commits: * srichter committed revision 5092:18:14
povbot/svn/commits: Converted more functional tests to test browser. Some of those tests (inside various test files) were absolutely meaningless, displaced, out of context or just plain wrong.18:14

pips1erm, one thing, though18:39
pips1in MS IE, moving the cursor over the calendar causes a strange irritating "flickering" of the whole page...?!18:40
th1aIs that new?18:40
pips1yes18:40
pips1firefox is fine18:40
pips1some css prob?18:41
pips1it happens of mouse rollover18:41
algaI don't think there were any changes to CSS or templates on the release branch...18:54
algawe'll need to take a look at this one.18:54
ignasover calendar or over events ?18:56
ignaswhat parts are flickering ?18:56
pips1well... it looks like a ccs problem but I might be wrong19:04
pips1I flickers when I rollover an element that "reacts" to the rollover, i.e. the element's background color changes19:05
pips1i just got a server error19:06
pips1i just clicked on 'weekly' view19:07
pips1  raise TypeError, _insufficientContext19:07
pips1I'll send the traceback msg19:07
mgedminjinty, I think http://issues.schooltool.org/issue324 is fixed -- could you verify?19:11
mgedmin(option for specifying site.zcml)19:11
mgedminpips1, I think I know what you're talking about19:11
mgedminI see it in Firefox all the time19:11
mgedminor used to, a while ago19:12
mgedminall these CSS :hover rules that change opacity19:12
pips1mgedmin: yeah something like that19:13
mgedminjinty, th1a, bskahan: can I close http://issues.schooltool.org/issue192 as resolved ("Calendar date selection widget" -- I assume it's about that DHTML calendar popup)19:21
th1aI think so.19:22
th1aYEs.19:22
bskahanmgedmin, yes19:22
mgedminwhat about http://issues.schooltool.org/issue188, is it fixed?19:38
mgedminAFAIU it's about placing the three list boxes for calendar overlay seletion next to each other19:38

th1aYes, but the relevant fonts are installed as font families.19:55
mgedminerchache, apt-get install msttcorefont and you'll have a bunch of TTFs19:55
mgedminI don't think msttcorefonts depend on X19:55
erchachebut i think copying directly from my intel laptop can run19:55
erchacheyeah19:56
th1aThat's something I need to nag you guys about at some point.19:56
erchacheapt-get install x19:56
erchachefor reference to share libraries19:56
