Minutes meeting week 21

[Bhushan Shah]

Hello,

Super small meeting due to some people being off for holiday.

Present: notmart, d_ed, romangg, bshah

notmart:

 * some bug triaging
 * more work on list items drag and drop D12960 (just needs icons now)
 * fix kirigami build on macos
 * more work on multi page KCMs
 * early experiments on porting plasma desktop scripting to QJSEngine will be a looong lasting side project, involving mostly porting huge chunks of boilerplate before it even builds

d_ed:

 - In addition to usual bugs / tiny fixes I've tidied up my date and time KCM backend code ready for QtQuick port
 - design discussion here: https://phabricator.kde.org/T7248   it's gone a few iterations locally
 - and I've been working on a KConfig patch that should land on frameworks this evening that will make it easier to notify other clients of config changes (intended for dropping the kdelibs4support kdeglobals signalling) in a much tidier and better way


romangg:

 * GSoC mentoring of Furkan on landing the Workspace KCM rewrite to QML in 5.13.
 * moving the single/double click option to it.
 * investigating https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=386304, which seems to be a hell of a bug. I'm currently setting up a Qt build because the bug might actually be in Qt.
 * maybe I ask bshah again to help me with it. :)

bshah:

 - Started triaging the plasma mobile phabricator task board
 - Adding details in most of the task so that they are not just title
 - Working with dimkard[m] to make it easier for people to contribute to PlaMo
 - Some part-time KDE sysadmin work this weekend to make our static website generation easier
 - Affects plasma-mobile.org
 - Other then mostly non-plasma work

Thanks

15:41 <bshah> notmart: d_ed: meeting! :)
15:41 <bshah> notmart: your turn first
15:41 <notmart> ok
15:41 <notmart> * some bug triaging
15:41 <notmart> * more work on list items drag and drop D12820 (just needs icons now)
15:41 <sKreamer> Diff 12820 "Add KWayland virtual desktop protocol" [Needs Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D12820
15:41 <notmart> * fix kirigami build on macos
15:41 <notmart> * more work on multi page KCMs
15:41 <notmart> * early experiments on porting plasma desktop scripting to QJSEngine will be a looong lasting side project, involving mostly porting huge chunks of boilerplate before it even builds
15:41 <notmart> crap, wrong phab
15:42 <notmart> i mean D12960 the list items drag and drop
15:42 <sKreamer> Diff 12960 "Drag handle to reorder items in a ListView" [Needs Review] https://phabricator.kde.org/D12960
15:42 <notmart> that's basically it
15:42 <d_ed> what does multi page KCMs mean?
15:43 <notmart> d_ed: some of the kcm redesigns in the mockups, have a kind of breadcrumb..
15:43 <notmart> let me find references
15:44 <d_ed> ok, so some sort of stack view within the KCM itself
15:44 <notmart> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgPa0d-0f1I the preliminary implementation
15:44 <notmart> yep
15:44 <d_ed> cool
15:44 <notmart> the mockups use that iirc in icons, maybe colors and fonts
15:44 <notmart> also the network one rewrite by jgrulich is going to rely on that
15:45 <d_ed> ok, so I'll go next
15:45 <bshah> okay, so any questions? if not d_ed turn
15:46 <romangg> The question is how this integrates with the KCM structure itself. Will it be Syse->Category->KCM -//-> Stackview 1 -> Stackview2 ?
15:46 <romangg> all in one line?
15:46 <d_ed> In addition to usual bugs / tiny fixes I've tidied up my date and time KCM backend code ready for QtQuick port
15:46 <d_ed> design discussion here: https://phabricator.kde.org/T7248   it's gone a few iterations locally
15:46 <sKreamer> Task 7248 "Date/time" [Open,High] {Plasma: KCM Redesign} https://phabricator.kde.org/T7248
15:47 <notmart> looking
15:47 <notmart> romangg: for old systemsettings would have to be 2 stacks one for categories one for the main thing.. in the long term i would like a single line yeah
15:48 <d_ed> and I've been working on a KConfig patch that should land on frameworks this evening that will make it easier to notify other clients of config changes (intended for dropping the kdelibs4support kdeglobals signalling) in a much tidier and better way
15:48 <bshah> phab link?
15:48 <d_ed> sorry, I meant, I should have it ready to submit to review this evening
15:49 <bshah> okay
15:49 <bshah> :)
15:49 <d_ed> and I'm done
15:49 <bshah> cool cool
15:49 <bshah> romangg: your turn!
15:49 <notmart> d_ed: oooh, <3 for kconfig change signaling :)
15:51 <romangg> * GSoC mentoring of Furkan on landing the Workspace KCM rewrite to QML in 5.13.
15:51 <notmart> hmm, i never know on phab if comments on screenshots actually worked or not.. and they're almost invisible anyways
15:51 <romangg> * moving the single/double click option to it.
15:52 <romangg> * investigating https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=386304, which seems to be a hell of a bug. I'm currently setting up a Qt build because the bug might actually be in Qt.
15:52 <romangg> * maybe I ask bshah again to help me with it. :)
15:53 <romangg> later today I mean
15:53 <romangg> any questions?
15:53 <bshah> with "it".. here it being?
15:54 <romangg> getting my Qt build to work. It didn't really work for me when I tried this weekend.
15:54 <bshah> ah qt build... mmm
15:54 <bshah> I am not sure if I am right person.. I use distro qt
15:54 <bshah> but i wonder do you really think it's qt bug?
15:55 <bshah> I am not sure if kwin is using qtwayland qpa for task switcher?
15:55 <romangg> bshah: well not for sure. But I have already plastered everything in KWin's Tabbox code with debug statements and everything in Plasma-framework's Dialog code.
15:56 <bshah> romangg: tbh, getting WAYLAND_DEBUG output would help
15:56 <romangg> At the start the x,y values of the tabbox are correctly set and only shortly before showing it they are reset to 0.
15:56 <bshah> anyway.. let's discuss this later.
15:56 <bshah> my turn
15:56 <romangg> bshah: yea good idea. I'll try this. thx
