Lumieremattva01: give a quick description of what you've done and what you need to do16:42
mattva01I have created eggs of all the zope dependencies that are needed by cando but not provided by schooltool16:44
mattva01I need to host these files in an archive somewhere and create the final cando package16:45
th1aYou can use our server once jinty can set it up for you.16:46

fsufitchignas: thanks >_<16:55
Lumierefsufitch: cando meeting starts in 15-3016:55
fsufitchwhew thx16:56
Lumiereread scrollback for the schooltool stuff16:56
fsufitchthat's just enough time to my morming routine16:56
fsufitchi'll read it when i come back16:56
fsufitchbbs16:56
*** fsufitch is now known as fsufitch-breakfa16:56
LumiereI agree with fsufitch-breakfa food time16:57
Lumiereback in 15-2016:57
*** jinty has quit IRC16:59
*** jinty has joined #schooltool17:00
Lumierewb jinty17:01
jintyth1a, Lumiere, ignas: apparently it seems one of the big reasons no-one wants to upload our schooltool packages is that we depend on a beta/alpha Zope release17:02
th1aAh.17:02
ignasthey don't love us :(17:02
th1aYou mean the main Zope package or the little ones?17:03
jintythe main one17:03
jintyseems the deadline for that zope release passed a few monts back17:03
jintyand it hasn't happened yet17:03
th1aAnd all we can do is squawk to the Zope list about it?17:04
jintybasically17:04
Lumierejinty: that should make things interesting17:04
jintyprobably they'll come back and say "If you want it, this, this and this needs to be donw"17:04
ignasjinty: Zopers are planning Zope sprint17:05
ignashttp://wiki.zope.org/zope3/FoliageSprint17:05
*** fsufitch-breakfa is now known as fsufitch17:05
th1aWell, at least knowing what the requirements are would help.17:05
ignasit might be a nice idea to nicely ask them to make the sprint kind of release related if possible17:05
ignas;)17:05
th1aYes, stephan will be happy to come to our aid.17:06
th1aThat was sarcastic, btw.17:06
th1aWell, who is most likely to get a positive response from the zope-dev list?17:08
Lumieremark shuttleworth?17:08
th1aShould I write the email.17:08
th1a?17:08
aelknerhey all17:08
Lumierehi aelkner17:09
fsufitchhello17:09
th1aI don't know if Mark would be best.17:09
ignasth1a: you might.17:09
jintyth1a, ignas: I think we're already done for17:09
th1aHe has a kind of weird relationship with the Zope community.17:09
ignasjinty: the freeze is today?17:09
jintyhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule17:09
th1ajinty: I agree we're screwed.17:09
th1aThis is, by the way, why I insisted we try to get this together for Gutsy... so that if something went wrong, we'd have it ready for Gutsy +1.17:10
th1aWhich is what I was REALLY worried about.17:10
*** fsufitch has left #schooltool17:11
Lumierethe sad thing is that zope3 is stable17:11
*** fsufitch has joined #schooltool17:11
jintyThe best we can do is probably build an external repository for this release and have paeople use that17:11
Lumiereit just hasn't been given a release17:11
Lumierejinty: and get 0.11.4 removed from gutsy?17:11
jintybasically we have that now17:11
th1ajinty: That will have to do.17:11
jintyLumiere: packages with newer versions override those with older versions17:12
Lumierejinty: but if someone installs 0.11.417:12
jintyso I don't see the problem17:12
Lumiereand tries to upgrade17:12
Lumierethings are going to go boom17:12
jintyah17:12
jintyyeah, guess it's probably best to get it removed17:13
jintyI'll speak to some people about it17:14
jintyth1a: I think the key point is never to depend on unreleased software and assume that people are going to do what they say they're going to17:14
th1aSo basically we should plan on using this version of Zope 3 for the forseeable future then.17:14
Lumiereth1a: we should plan on locking to the next release17:15
th1aYEs.17:15
jintyLumiere: +117:15
jintyas well as for any other dependencies we have17:15
Lumiereyes17:15
Lumierethen we can branch for a release that's locked17:15
th1aWell, the Zope 3 world is slowing down.17:15
Lumiereand have trunk separate17:15
Lumiereth1a: it's finally getting toward complete17:15
Lumierethe problem for the z3 communiy is17:16
th1aIt would have been painful at times to be staying on, say 3.0 when 3.1 was under development.17:16
Lumierewho and how are z3c packages released17:16
th1aThe problem with the Zope 3 community is they only use Zope 3 for internal products.17:16
th1aExcept us.17:16
jintyth1a: yes, we have different requirements17:17
LumiereLP is external, but I bet it is part of the reason17:17
Lumierewhy LP source hasn't be released17:17
th1aIt probably doesn't help.17:18
jintyLumiere: LP doesn't try get it's source distributed in linux distributions17:19
Lumierejinty: that is another wrinkle for us17:19
aelknerwhat is LP?17:19
LumiereLaunchPad17:19
aelkneroh17:19
Lumierethe only other huge z3 app17:19
Lumierethat's really public17:19
LumiereI am going to dial welsh17:20
* jinty goes to take his girlfriend to the airport17:21
Lumierek17:21
*** jinty has quit IRC17:23
fsufitchso in light of these happenings, what do i have to work on?17:26
aelknerfsufitch: we could really use your help with gradebook print views17:28
fsufitchright17:28
aelknerdo you feel you know what needs to be done there?17:29
* Lumiere pulls together some stuff and starts the meeting.17:29
Lumiereso I see aelkner and fsufitch ...17:29
Lumiereno pcardune/dwelsh/jelkner...17:29
Lumierereminder that there is a meeting friday sometime17:29
Lumiere(details to come)17:29
fsufitchok17:29
fsufitchi mustn't oversleep that one XD17:30
aelknerjelkner said he may be busy in meetings all day17:30
Lumierethe friday meeting is to figure out wtf we're doing for release.17:30
Lumiereaelkner: yea17:30
aelknermaybe welsh is similarly caught17:30
Lumiereit is likely17:30
aelknerpcadune may still be asleep17:31
Lumierealso likely17:31
aelknerit is 3 hours earlier for him17:31
fsufitchtru17:31
fsufitchso we're stalling or what?17:31
Lumiereok, mattva01's stuff was covered by jinty earlier17:31
Lumiereanything else left?17:31
aelkneri have two things to do17:32
aelknerone, get with welsh17:32
aelknertwo get with fsufitch to discuss gradebook printing17:32
fsufitchright17:32
Lumiere3 get with mattva01 and I to work through the release17:32
fsufitchand i'll be able to work more this week17:32
fsufitchi was away all last week17:33
aelknerfsufitch: cool17:33
aelknerLumiere: ok17:33
LumiereAttorney General just announced his resignation (news conf.)17:33
fsufitchthat was random...17:33
Lumierefsufitch: not really17:33
aelkneryeah, he's been in trouble for some time now17:34
aelknerbut i'm not sure i care17:34
fsufitchlol17:34
aelknerLumiere: shall we make a new branch for fsufitch to do his print views17:35
LumiereI wouldn't for now17:35
fsufitchisn't that sort of for newskin though?17:35
aelknerno, the views go in the gradebook package17:36
aelknerLumiere: why not?17:36
fsufitcho17:36
Lumiereaelkner: cause then we have to merge it17:36
aelknerand?17:36
fsufitchmerges are pains?17:37
Lumiereaelkner: as long as fsufitch runs tests before committing (and writes tests)17:37
Lumierethere shouldn't be any problems17:37
aelkneri'm ok with that17:37
aelknerand yes merges are a pain17:37
aelknerso you hear that fsufitch: test first, and don't commit anything that doesn't pass17:38
fsufitchLumiere: how would you test a printview?17:38
fsufitchthe only thing that i see testable is the links17:38
fsufitchis there a way to test content?17:38
fsufitchthe silence is disturbing...17:40
aelknerfsufitch: i was going to ask Paul about print views17:40
fsufitchwasn't everybody? ;)17:40
aelknernamely, is a print view just another view17:40
aelknerthat you just print?17:40
fsufitchyes17:40
fsufitchi've done one before, but it was really messy17:41
aelknerso if that's the case, then you have something to test17:41
fsufitchbecause i just took the gradebook view and removed its links and evthing17:41
Lumierefsufitch: you make a gradebook that has data17:41
Lumierethen you test that the view shows the grades correctly17:41
fsufitchrite17:42
aelknerLumiere: are there links to sample reports fsufitch could use as a guide?17:42
LumiereI am not sure17:42
aelknerthere ought to be17:42
aelknerdwesh would know17:42
aelknerand there are two gradebook print views17:43
aelknerone for the section and one for just one student17:43
fsufitchrly?17:43
fsufitchoh!17:43
Lumierethe student one17:43
fsufitchi thought it was just for sections17:43
Lumiereis the VA score report17:43
aelknerright17:43
fsufitchisn't that one already done?17:43
Lumierenot in the new stuff17:44
fsufitchi recall a printview for a student that looked rather official17:44
aelknerthat's the one17:44
Lumiereneeds to be redone for the new gradbook17:44
aelknerpaul overhauled the gradebook, so the print views definitely need to be redone17:44
fsufitchi c17:45
aelknerfsufitch, i'd start with the student one17:45
fsufitchyea, sounds easier ;)17:45
Lumiereif you can only get one done this week17:45
Lumieredo the section one17:45
Lumiereit will be needed earlier17:45
aelknerok, that makes sense17:46
fsufitchok17:46
aelknerLumiere: is there a running instance of cando2006 somewhere for fsufitch to use as a guide to how the print views should look?17:47
Lumiereyes17:47
Lumiereacc.17:47
fsufitchthere's the demo onlinen version17:47
fsufitchcould i use that?17:48
