12:43 < rxr> hi jsaw_
13:21 < rxr> t2-2.1-rc to be shipped with gnome 2.8
13:44 < jsaw_> hi rxr
13:45 < jsaw_> is the repo now open?
13:49 < rxr> valentin: when do you think should be make it worl read-able?
13:57 < valentin> hm, why not
14:03 < rxr> do you want the T2 PowerPC build before your holiday?
14:05 < rxr> let's finish at least resorting the remaining packages before me open it
14:07 < jsaw_> in what way do you resort the packages?
14:07 < rxr> by eliminating the named repositories ;-)
14:07 < rxr> soring into *bsd like ports categories ... *g*
14:08 < jsaw_> oh
14:08 < jsaw_> really bsd like? I mean like have about 100+ paths with actually intuitive repos?
14:09 < rxr> bsd like - but not 100+ pathes ...
14:09 < rxr> at least not yet ;-)
14:13 < jsaw_> the planned transition to C++ in conjunction with Config, will you still go with ncurses?
14:13 < rxr> I'm not sure
14:13 < jsaw_> that means what? CLI or QT or ...?
14:14 < rxr> we just started the C++ translation - 2.1 will be old-style (to have a new development base) I think we'll name the C++ enabled release 3.0 ... ;-)
14:14 < rxr> it will definetly feature a CLI interface - but additionally a graphical visualization of dependency graphs and such ...
14:15 < jsaw_> the latter qt/gtk/e17 based?
14:15 < rxr> not written in stone yet
14:15 < jsaw_> (or whatever)
14:15 < rxr> I think it will be sure not gtk+ ... so either qt or e17 or whatever we see fit's best
14:17 < jsaw_> <- likes the idea of extending into GUI
14:17 < rxr> ;-)
14:18 < rxr> but we will not include these new meta package "stuff" that IMHO does heavily polute the Keep It Stupid Simple principle ...
14:19 < jsaw_> is that really worth the note? :)
14:19 < jsaw_> (in terms of being questionable)
14:20 < jsaw_> a more clever "newpackage.sh" should do it...
14:21 < rxr> I remebered you commented it "remarkable" ..., wasn't it you?
14:22 < jsaw_> yes, I think it is "remarkable". The way it works.
14:22 < jsaw_> still that doesn't mean I have to prefer it over other solutions.
14:22 < rxr> ic
14:23 < jsaw_> remember, I also tried to convince ppl to change to a more obvious repo structure.
14:23 < jsaw_> I that would be in place, there would be no need for such kind of meta packages.
14:23 < jsaw_> If..
14:25 < jsaw_> P.S. I'm still dreaming of extending the .desc format for I18N
14:26 < rxr> yes - I got other asking for it ...
14:28 < rxr> jsaw_: if you have a nice project name in mind ... - we are still looking for one ...
