[13:33:09] <lordnoid_> Hi commandoline I'm good you?
[13:34:11] <commandoline> I'm fine, currently in the second year of my AI study. I still like it, so that's good. :P
[13:34:58] <commandoline> lordnoid_: what are you doing these days?
[13:35:31] <lordnoid_> Oh that's nice!
[13:35:59] <lordnoid_> I work as a software engineer
[13:36:55] <lordnoid_> On a project basis, but currently (and for the past 1.5 year) at ING bank
[13:37:11] <lordnoid_> Java btw
[13:37:29] <commandoline> Ah, nice!
[13:38:55] <lordnoid_> I see e-mails from Launchpad
[13:39:17] <lordnoid_> So they're removing OT from the repos finally? :P
[13:40:13] <commandoline> Seems like it. Although to be fair, it worked fine until now (as they're pulling Qt 4 from the repos)
[13:41:46] <commandoline> anyway, as you might have seen I decided I couldn't let that happen, and ported it to Qt 5. It was quite a nostalgic experience :P.
[13:43:34] <lordnoid_> Lol you did it quite quickly
[13:43:50] <lordnoid_> But now you need to make a new release right?
[13:44:28] <commandoline> well, it's largely search/replace. And yes, after some of the last bugs are fixed. Although I'm thinking about doing only a linux tarball. Not sure if I can face setting up windows + mac os x build systems again...
[13:46:05] <lordnoid_> Probably not necessary either because those just include all of qt
[13:46:20] <commandoline> Now that you're here, let's see if I have all the credentials required for that.
[13:46:51] <commandoline> True, although I found and fixed a couple of bugs along the way.
[13:47:16] <lordnoid_> The dreaded file loading bug in topo?
[13:49:56] <commandoline> Pretty sure I didn't do that one yet, actually.
[13:52:11] <commandoline> But I think some of those were actually introduced after the last release, so it should still be fine.
[13:52:29] <lordnoid_> oh, a well, people have lived with it for five years
[13:52:43] <lordnoid_> or haven't noticed it
[13:56:32] <commandoline> hmm, seems like you're the only one who can upload release binaries to sf.net. Now let's see if I can access the website source...
[13:58:53] <commandoline> seems like I can at least see it. Testing if writing is also possible...
[14:00:41] <commandoline> yes, so website access is fine, file upload not. If/when I get the release done, can I e-mail you the binaries?
[14:01:05] <commandoline> lordnoid_: ^
[14:01:56] <lordnoid_> Sure
[14:02:26] <lordnoid_> The website itself should probably also be updated then with the new tar
[14:03:39] <lordnoid_> Do you have rights to upload a new sitE?
[14:05:21] <commandoline> yeah, I just tried.
[14:06:18] <lordnoid_> ah ok
[14:07:37] <lordnoid_> did we hard code the links to the downloads in OT? to generate the site
[14:15:14] <lordnoid_> did we hard code the links to the downloads in OT? to generate the site
[14:15:21] <lordnoid_> wrong window sorry
[14:26:53] <commandoline> the site was all plain html generated by a subprogram embedded in OT itself
[14:36:03] <commandoline> download links are hardcoded in that program
[14:37:25] <commandoline> so yes.
[14:39:49] <lordnoid_> so we need to guess the download link? because once we upload the tar we cannot include the link to it anymore
[14:59:06] <commandoline> well, users don't need to generate the website themselves accurately, right?
[14:59:13] <commandoline> but if they do: yes.
[15:00:21] <commandoline> I'd guess the most logical procedure is: 1. generate tarball 2. upload it 3. update the website generator 4. update website
[15:33:42] <lordnoid_> ah, ok
[16:18:35] <commandoline> damn, I really forgot how good Launchpad is for issue tracking as opposed to Github. Such a shame the Git support + code review & code tree views are not up to par, or I would use it for everything...
[16:19:05] <commandoline> that and the cost for private branches, on second thought :P
