lisppaste5To use the lisppaste bot, visit http://paste.lisp.org/new/schooltool and enter your paste.16:22
ignasmaybe cleaning eggs16:22
ignaswould cause these to disappear16:22
ignasor appear16:22
*** th1a has joined #schooltool16:22
aelkneryes, appear16:22
aelkneri would say16:22
ignasand - did you update both of them tu use [versions] instead of index?16:22
aelkneryes16:23
ignasquite interesting because both sandboxes should be identical16:24
ignasbin/buildout -n in both of them16:24
ignasjust in case16:24
ignasthough16:24
aelknerthe thing is16:24
aelknereven though both sandboxxes are the same16:24
aelkneri haven't removed everything and started from scratch with sla-buildout yet16:24
aelkneri bet that if i do, the same warnings will appear16:25
aelkneri could try that in a different directory for a test16:25
ignasthey are harmless though16:25
aelkneryes, they are16:25
aelkneri was just hoping you had a simple fix in mind like somthing that you had to do before16:25
ignassome package got updated and now is warning that ZODB is using a deprecated interface16:25
ignasnope, no fix, it's a problem in ZODB16:26
aelkneroh wait16:26
ignasso we'll have to wait until zodb get16:26
ignasgets updated16:26
Lumiereit probably won't take long16:26
Lumieresome ZODB developer will get pissed off at the warnings enough to fix em16:26
Lumiere;)16:26
aelknerhopefully16:27
aelknerjelkner: ayt?16:29
aelkneri'll talk with jelkner after the meeting16:30
th1aGood morning Gentlemen.16:31
aelknermorning16:31
th1aHope you had a lovely weekend.16:31
th1aaelkner: How are things going?16:32
aelknerthings are going quite well16:32
aelknerlast week i got the gradebook to work with tabs16:32
aelknerand i got jelkner's package to not use dashboard16:32
aelknerand use the tabs16:32
aelkneras per his request16:33
aelkneri still redirect away from the calendar16:33
aelknerso managers get the Manage tab on log in16:33
aelknerand all other users get the Gradebook16:33
aelknerotherwise, i reworked the Makefile16:34
aelknerto make it easier for Matt to update his instance16:34
aelknerso he'll be follwing my instructions this morning16:34
aelknerand it should work out fine16:34
aelknerso i'll be able to focus on the csap starting today16:35
aelknerso that's about it16:35
th1aGlad you're back to 100%.16:35
aelknerme, too16:35
th1aignas?16:36
ignasstill doing the release related work, repackaged most of the packages in our PPA16:36
ignasnow i think you can apt-get install zope.component + zope.testrunner ;)16:36
ignasthere are like 4 packages that are blocking most of the stuff though16:37
ignasbut i'll hopefully have them working soon16:37
ignaslooked at the bugs16:37
ignasmerged the rest of the patches from the sprint16:37
ignashave a couple of fixes that i wanted to make in the pipeline16:37
Lumiereignas: shouldn't they be zope3-component and zope3-testrunner?16:37
ignasas well as an idea about how to fix some of the bugs you have reported16:38
ignasLumiere: python-zope.component and python-zope.testrunner16:38
Lumiereah16:38
ignas1:1 mapping with egg names16:38
ignashad to learn how to handle debian source packages16:39
ignasthat's it16:39
ignashave to get zdameon, zodbcontrol, zodb, python-zope.annotation and python-zope.app.component running now16:40
th1aI hope we only need one more nag to get Zope 3.4 final out -- hopefully srichter's new job won't screw things up.16:41
th1aDid you notice we made nice at PyCon?16:41
* th1a is a fucking diplomat.16:41
aelkneri did notice16:41
ignas:D16:41
th1aLumiere: Anything to report?16:42
Lumierenot much... I'm attempting to get a full status on what the sprint did to cando16:42
Lumierebut I think we may take a mini-vacation for a month or so16:42
th1aSo right now CanDo won't run on the trunk?16:43
LumiereI don't know for sure what is and isn't running16:43
th1aWhat got Welsh wound up?16:43
Lumierehopefully tonight will be ok16:43
aelknerLumiere: aren't you supposed to hold off on updating cando16:43
aelkneruntil eldar and i sprint on integrating16:44
aelknerthe new tabbed schooltool with it16:44
Lumiereth1a: I think both of us were sort of hoping that people were looking at it during the sprint16:44
Lumiereand would have an idea of what was up16:44
Lumiereaelkner: I need to know now if we can or cannot work with trunk16:44
Lumiereeven before integration stuff happens16:44
th1aI don't see any reason your old skin wouldn't work.16:44
aelkneris cando using schooltool trunk?16:44
Lumiereth1a: yea, the question is do our admin interface views work16:45
Lumiereaelkner: yes16:45
Lumierehas and will16:45
th1aaelkner: There is no obvious reason they wouldn't.16:45
aelkneri can't think of one16:45
aelknerwhat exactly is the problem?16:45
Lumiereaelkner: a complete and total lack of information16:46
th1aOK.16:46
aelkneryou mean, it still works fine?16:46
th1aThat's easier to fix than code.16:47
ignasLumiere: which is why someone with some skill should look at the test failures on that branch16:47
ignasLumiere: and try fixing them16:47
ignasLumiere: i think it could be done in less than a day, if it can't - at least you will know that more things are broken than you imagined ;)16:47
Lumiereignas: yea... substantial gaps in test coverage... T_T16:47
ignasLumiere: ouch16:48
Lumiereignas: remember our ~60% coverage?16:48
ignasLumiere: maybe you are at least coviering most of the functionality16:48
Lumiereaelkner: I have no idea what I mean because I don't know where I am sitting16:48
aelkneri see16:48
th1aOK, well, there isn't much more to say about this until someone takes a serious look at what's actually going on.16:48
LumiereI will hopefully know better today16:49
Lumiereth1a: which is what I assigned filip and chris last week16:49
th1aOK.16:49
LumiereI asked them to go through each view16:49
Lumierepre and post sprint16:49
Lumiereand report what is and isn't working right16:49
Lumiereso I can give a view of where we are to welsh and here16:49
th1aSo I broke through my coding block and made a checkin last week.16:50
th1aI should be making a few more now.16:51
th1aI'm more motivated to clean up CSS now that we've got the new navigation.16:51
th1aI even got a new CSS book.16:51
LumiereI'm still a fan of blooberry16:52
Lumierefor CSS stuff16:52
jelknerth1a: ping me when you drop the bag of gravel16:52
aelkneris that a web site?16:52
Lumierehttp://www.blooberry.com/indexdot/css/16:52
Lumiereyes16:52
aelknercool16:52
Lumiereit isn't quite up to date anymore16:52
Lumierebut it is one of the best references I have ever found for both CSS and HTML16:53
th1aThese are the bugs I tagged for Hardy:  https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/schooltool/+milestone/hardy16:53
th1aOr that were tagged for Hardy a while ago.16:55
th1aI would like to clean up devmode if possible.16:56
th1aI guess that might be a classic "easy fix that breaks 100 tests."16:57
th1aOK, that's all I've got.16:58
aelkneris that like the face that launched 1000 ships?16:58
ignasnot really16:58
ignasmore like 1-2 tests will break16:58
Lumieremore like the face that sunk 1000 ships :)16:58
ignasif you will fix devmode16:58
* Lumiere takes his sarcasm and stuffs it back in the closet16:59
aelknerignas: i know why there are buildbot failures16:59
aelkneri had to change policy_table.txt16:59
aelknerbecuase with the Gradebook tab and the Gradebook action link in the section view17:00
aelknerthere was a problem just clicking on 'Gradebook'17:00
aelknerso i changed it to us 'inedx=1'17:00
ignasi see17:00
aelknerand that got it to work17:00
aelknerbut17:00
ignasdid you commit it?17:00
aelknerof course not :)17:00
ignaswhy not?17:00
aelknergood question17:01
aelknerbut17:01
ignasit's a test that directly depends on your code17:01
aelknerthe problem is17:01
aelknerthat the test depends on the presence of the schooltool.gradeboook17:01
ignasyes, they do17:01
aelknerand that isn't always the case17:01
aelknerso i'm thinking17:01
* ignas has no time to refactor them out into the legacy_app egg17:02
aelknerthat i could change the test to look for the link that has the matching url17:02
ignaswell - if it is testing gradebook security17:02
ignasthen you can assume that gradebook is in there17:02
ignasof course if you would refactor security tests for gradebook security into some test in the schooltool.gradebook17:03
ignasand remove all the gradebook related security tests from schooltool.securitypolicy it would be the best way to handle it ;)17:03
ignasbut i guess you don't have time for that as well17:03
aelkneri don't, but17:03
aelkneri'd like to make this point17:03
aelknerthe gradebook already tests certain things for the various users17:04
aelknerwould it be ok to just remove gradebook from schooltool's security tests17:04
ignasif you feel safe about it - you can do that17:04
aelknerok17:05
aelkneri can move the important logic into there17:05
aelkneri'll do that today17:05
ignasi'd be happy if schooltool functional tests would not depend on schooltool.gradebook anymore17:06
aelknerso would i17:06
Lumiereth1a: I don't know if we're ever going to get there... but do we have plans for getting someone to security audit us before 1.0?17:06
th1aNot really.17:07
th1aI mean, I'm open to suggestions.17:08
th1aThat would be something we'd do, say, next summer.17:08
Lumiereyes17:08
th1aYour interns seem to be pretty good at hacking BlackBoard.  Can't we just use them?17:09
LumiereoO17:09
LumiereI just know that we will want to ensure that a production release of SchoolTool had the requisite security (and tested) in place :)17:09
th1aYes.17:09
th1aWell, I'm open to suggestions of what to put in next year's budget.17:10
Lumiere*suggests*17:10
th1aSPECIFIC suggestions.17:10
Lumiereok17:10
th1aLike, specific people and/or companies.17:10
th1aI don't get the impression that there is any standard way of doing a security audit for open source applications.17:12
th1aOK... anything else?17:12
th1aHave a good week guys.17:13
* th1a drops the bag of gravel.17:13
aelkneryou, too17:13
th1ajelkner: Ping.17:13
ignasLumiere: got a spare intern maybe?17:15
ignasLumiere: i need one ;)17:15
Lumiereignas: I will likely not have anything for them for a month, but dwelsh was very clear that he didn't want to spend our *very* limited budget on non-cando things17:15
th1aI can pay them.17:16
Lumiereth1a: ignas which one you want :)17:16
Lumiereth1a: ok ;)17:16
ignasLumiere: the one who will be the first to reply ;)17:17
ignasLumiere: i like the active ones best :D17:17
Lumierek17:17
jelknerth1a:17:17
Lumieresend me a note with what you need and I'll see who wants it tonight :)17:17
ignasLumiere: oh, and when it comes to cando - if i will have some time to spare, i might look at failing cando functional tests, but you know with all the work on my hands... ;)17:17
jelkneri just saw your ping17:18
jelkneri wanted to ask you about fossed17:18
jelknerdid david trask email u?17:18
Lumiereyea I know17:18
th1aI got his mass-email.17:18
Lumiereignas: I've been swamped too17:18
jelknerthoughts on august?17:18
th1aWait, what's in August?17:19
jelknermass fossed17:19
th1aOh, that email.17:19
jelkneryeah17:19
th1aHe's not running that one though, right?17:19
jelknerthat one ;-)17:19
jelkneryes he is17:19
jelknerit is the nh one, moved to mass17:20
th1aOK.17:20
jelknerthat is not too bad a drive17:20
jelknerwe could attend17:20
jelkneran hour and a half better than nh17:20
ignasLumiere: it was a hint ;) i mean - if you would have to pick between who is fixing cando and who is doing schooltool gruntwork... ;)17:20
th1ajelkner: What's the objective?17:21
jelknerwell, sprinting, of course17:21
jelknerbut also17:21
th1aOn?17:21
jelknergetting more teacher feedback17:21
jelknerwhat do you mean?17:21
jelknerwhatever needs to be done at that time, i imagine17:22
jelknerit is a little early to plan specific sprint goals17:22
th1aWell, ironically, I'm feeling like I don't want to have too many "sprints" because I really want ignas "sprinting" himself at that point.17:22
th1aI'll have to think about it.17:22
Lumiereignas: I am not going to have tons of fixing going on till after eldar comes back17:22
Lumierebut if it takes 1 day of dev time17:23
Lumiereto get back up and running17:23
LumiereI am going to do it17:23
jelknerth1a: when is euro pycon?17:23
ignaseuropython ;)17:24
jelknerindeed ;-)17:24
jelknerwhen is it?17:24
th1aJuly 7-1217:25
jelknerth1a: cool17:25
th1aI guess I should book my flight.17:25
jelknerth1a: perhaps mass could focus on the competency component of schooltool17:26
th1aYeah... no.17:26
jelkner??17:26
th1aMy point here is that as we get closer to 1.0 beta, we can only focus on 1.0 beta.17:26
th1aSee what I mean?17:27
jelkneryes17:27
jelkneri do17:28
jelknerbut i would still like to go to mass17:28
* Lumiere doesn't have money for mass17:29
th1aYes... it strikes me as unlikely.17:30

th1aOh... sorry.  I have no idea what you're talking about.18:33

th1aOK.  I see.18:35

aelknerignas: i thought buildout made it so one didn't have to apt-get install?19:27
ignasyou still need supporting libraries19:28
ignasbuildout only installs python eggs19:28
th1aignas:  Based on my look at the code it doesn't do anything.19:28

jelkneri've only got my cando class left to grade19:43
jelknerwhere is that nice teacher report you wrote?19:44
aelknerif you are done with the other grading, could you let matt shut it down to do the install?19:44
jelkneryes, we can do that19:45
jelkneras soon as he gets back19:45
jelkner(he stepped out)19:45
aelkneri'm starting my cando now19:45

aelknerignas: not yet19:49
jelkneraelkner: how do i get to the gradebook?19:50
aelknerjelkner: have you ever used cando before :)19:50
aelkneranyway, the go interface is supposed to be easy enough to use19:51
aelknerit should be self-explanatory19:51
aelknerbut understanding that you're under grading stress19:51
aelknerpick a section and and choose 'evaluate student skills'19:52
jelkneraelkner: not much19:52
