ZogG_laptopMohammadAG: ^02:22
ZogG_laptopyou still have no N902:23
MohammadAGnope, but I have an N950 so I don't consider myself eligible02:25
itsnotabigtrucknot sure i like > 25 devices for existing community apps being published at the Nokia Store.02:30
itsnotabigtruckand i'm not sure what the qt 5 item means in practice02:30
itsnotabigtruckimo publishing via the nokia store is inherently contradictory to "community" anything02:31
MohammadAGthinking of selling the lumia and getting an N902:31
MohammadAGheh, true that02:31
MohammadAGbut hey, it made me implement a very intelligent and advanced update system02:31
Elleomy lumia only gets used for one thing and that's making videos of my n95002:31
Elleosince its the only thing I have that focuses on the screen properly02:31
MohammadAGhttp://mohammadag.xceleo.org/sociality-mtf-version02:32
MohammadAGit focuses macro-ly well02:32
MohammadAGand its UI is fast02:32
ElleoI had intended to port a few things to it, but then I found that the platform was too restrictive to let me do any of the things I wanted; so it just sits around looking pretty02:32
itsnotabigtruckyeah, wp7's .net environment is intensely locked down02:33
itsnotabigtruck.net's actually pretty cool in many ways, but not the way it was implemented on wp702:33
MohammadAGthis is awesome02:33
itsnotabigtruckwhere it's basically there entirely to restrict your access to the phone02:33
Elleoyeah, I couldn't even find a way to get it to let me check the battery level accurately to make a nice battery graphing app02:34
itsnotabigtruckit seems MS won against the hackers with wp7...wp7 hacking is basically dead on arrival these days02:34
Elleolet alone let me add ogg vorbis support in any meaningful way02:34
itsnotabigtruckthere's a few things you can do but they aren't easy, or compatible with all WP7 models (including the lumia)02:35
itsnotabigtruckand windows ce's native environment is a horrible system to program for02:35
itsnotabigtruckit's really no fun at all02:35
itsnotabigtruckthat's why the N9 having a full linux environment is so important02:35
*** risca has quit IRC02:36
*** hhartz has quit IRC02:36
itsnotabigtruckalso MohammadAG: version 0.3 has 0.2 in the name? :p02:37
itsnotabigtruckyou should make sure you secure it somehow so that a MITM can't pwn your phone with a bad deb02:37
MohammadAGitsnotabigtruck, I edited it to test the notification system :p02:37
*** rzr is now known as rZr02:37
itsnotabigtruckhttp + no signature = bad02:37
*** risca has joined #harmattan02:38
*** risca has quit IRC02:40
itsnotabigtruckMohammadAG ^02:41
MohammadAGitsnotabigtruck, it's basic for now02:41
MohammadAGHarmattan handles the downloads, if it was me I'd md5 it02:42
itsnotabigtruckMohammadAG: don't use MD5 either :p02:42
itsnotabigtruck3 ways i can think of to do it would be to02:43
itsnotabigtrucka) deliver the update info file over HTTPS, where your server's self-signed certificate is the only trusted certificate02:44
itsnotabigtruckthe info file has a SHA256 hash of the deb02:44
itsnotabigtruckb) deliver the update info file over HTTP, with a GPG signature applied, where your server's GPG key is the only trusted key02:44
itsnotabigtruckthe info file also has a SHA256 hash of the data02:44
tgalalI am benefitting from this conversation :)02:44
itsnotabigtruckor c) deliver the update info file over HTTP and skip the hash, but embed a signature of some sort into the deb and validate that02:45
MohammadAGitsnotabigtruck, mind making me a patch? :P02:45
itsnotabigtruckor d) don't do that altogether because it really isn't a very good idea02:45
itsnotabigtruckumm no02:45
itsnotabigtruckyour app your problem >_>02:45
MohammadAGlol02:45
itsnotabigtruckbtw apt does (b)02:46
*** astm_ has left #harmattan02:46
itsnotabigtruckaegis does (c)02:46
itsnotabigtrucktgalal: and well, you shouldn't...the entire point of a package manager is NOT having this stuff in every single app02:48
MohammadAGa package manager needs a sane repo02:49
MohammadAGwhich we still don't have02:49
MohammadAGso I've taken the deb path, which sucks, but heyu02:50
itsnotabigtruckthen make sure to either dump it or secure it because unsecured updates are a pretty bad idea02:51
itsnotabigtrucki mean, is it a very realistic threat vehicle...probably not, but it is an obvious threat vehicle02:51

DocScrutinizerthe obvious threat vector is your wife hiring a private eye who knows an IT specialist who provides the needed "malware" on a website, or on a USB stick or whateve, and your wife installing it on your phone while you're under the shower03:40
DocScrutinizerbet that with SHA25603:40
DocScrutinizerbeat*03:40
DocScrutinizerthe whole idea of system based security is BS. The only proper security concept is a proper root password and an educated user03:41
DocScrutinizeroops, I was wrong. I forgot about the most common threat vector: noob users installing apps like wazap, because they are "free"03:43
DocScrutinizerthe only proper security concept helps in that case just as well03:44
GeneralAntillesBurn the heathens.03:44
DocScrutinizerjust harder to implement - users who deliberately use wazap etc are hard to educate03:45
SpeedEvilI secured my lumia 800 by placing it in a 2 foot block of concrete and dropping it into the marianas trench.03:45
DocScrutinizerbest thing you can do with that device ;-D03:46
GeneralAntillesNoo!03:46
GeneralAntillesIt's great for watching Netflix in bed.03:46
SpeedEvilNo netflix in the UK03:48
GeneralAntillesTo the trench it goes!03:48

khertanMorning07:45
khertanMohammadAG: i ve finally found the perfect example of speed with an app made in Python and a similar one made in C++. Look at native slow twitter client on n9 , and Khweeteur on n900, Khweeteur is faster, not because python is faster than c++, but because Khweeteur have a better logic of caching things. Language speed is nothing ! (And use less memory also)07:47
khertan:)07:47
*** hardaker has joined #harmattan07:47
itsnotabigtruckkhertan: it would be even faster if you used C++, however07:54
itsnotabigtruckslow c++ < fast python < fast c++07:54
*** denism has joined #harmattan07:56
khertanitsnotabigtruck: probably not, as most time is used waiting user action, or in c++ libs of python :)07:56
khertanjust the startup time will be faster07:57
khertanand in case of doing it in c++ i ll probably not get the time to implement all this cache optimizations07:57
khertani use less time to code, so more time for the logic :)07:58
*** denism1 has joined #harmattan07:59
*** denism has quit IRC08:00
itsnotabigtruckkhertan: it's not about the percentage of time that the app is running that it's busy doing stuff08:01
itsnotabigtruckit's about *response time*08:01
itsnotabigtruckand performance is essential08:01
itsnotabigtruck50 ms vs 400 ms after the user pushes a button is the difference between instant and sluggish08:02

jonniantman8969: that depends if your using QApplication or QScoperPointer, there is a known bug that wizard makes buggy skeleton if you use QScopedPointer and try to use rootContext().09:12
*** adlan has joined #harmattan09:13
jonni(which should be fixed on next qt creator release)09:13
jonniantman8969: there is workaround documented in here https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTCREATORBUG-649009:23
*** gabriel9 has quit IRC09:24
*** beford has quit IRC09:25
antman8969jonni I've seen that, it was actually my own fault09:26
antman8969I was using Q_DECL_EXPORT in place of Q_INVOKABLE09:26
antman8969in addition, you apparently have to set context properties BEFORE setting a source file09:27
antman8969two stupid mistakes that cost me hours...09:27

Stecchinodjszapi: did you happen to package libqca2-plugin-ossl v2.0.0 for Harmattan?11:34
Stecchinoversion from nokia is 0.1~20070904-5+0m6 and qca 2.0.2-3 has problems loading it hence some crypto functions are failing11:35
*** felipexil_ has joined #harmattan11:36
djszapiStecchino: I am sorry, but I do not have time.11:39
djszapiStecchino: I cannot recall all the packages I made, was above 100'ish :)11:39
djszapiI can take a look this weekend, if you that is fine.11:40
Stecchinodjszapi: just give me a link to your OBS page and I'll search11:40
StecchinoSo far no lunk on http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/rzr/MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_Maemo.org_MeeGo_1.2_Harmattan_standard/all/11:40
StecchinoI might package it myself11:40
StecchinoI just wonder why the official repo has such an ancient version11:41
djszapiStecchino: cause updating unnecessarily is a maintenance overhead11:47
Stecchinodjszapi: in this case it seems the old version is not working though. And libqca2-plugin-ossl was released a month after that package version. Might there be a license issue?11:48
djszapiStecchino: sorry, but really deadline'ish here for Monday.11:49
djszapiI can take a look at this during the weekend.11:49
Stecchinodjszapi: I'll keep you updated11:51

gabriel9|workso if i add it, do i need gmail also for chat?12:28
Stecchinono, that is with the google accounts plugin12:29
Stecchinosad that not all G services are covered by google accounts plugin12:29
Stecchinotechnically it's possible12:30
StecchinoHoe comfortable are people discussing Harmatan development (platform and official apps, i.e. Nokia internal) these days. Many of us are ex-nokia externals right? It's been over a year and since PR1.2 all has been shut down AFAIK.12:31
StecchinoGuess the NDA still holds, but think it would be nice if we can keep Harmattan going in the community12:32
Stecchinowell, topic is clear12:33
*** arcean has joined #harmattan12:33
gabriel9|workwell12:38
gabriel9|workwe should keep HArmattan in Comunity12:38
gabriel9|workit's nice12:39
gabriel9|work:)12:39
StecchinoWe could it we massively broke NDA :)12:39
gabriel9|workand i got C++ book :D12:39
SpeedEvil:/12:39
StecchinoDoes nokia still carE?12:39
gabriel9|workwho needs Nokia12:39
gabriel9|workwe have devices12:39
gabriel9|workand source :)12:39
gabriel9|workall i need is some knowladge12:39
gabriel9|workfrom C++12:39
Stecchinoyeah, source under NDA12:39
gabriel9|workNDA is?12:39
StecchinoNon disclosure agreement12:40
StecchinoIf you don't know you never signed it12:40
Stecchinoand #N9 might be better for your general questions to be frank12:40
gabriel9|worki heard about it but don't know what is it12:40
SpeedEvilIt would be awesome if there was a massive source release.12:40
SpeedEvilUnfortunately, leaks are less clear.12:41
StecchinoWon't happen unfortunately. There is no business case for opening Harmattan12:41
Stecchinoat least not for Nokia :) I would have.12:41
gabriel9|workso they don't want it12:41
SpeedEvilIf Nokia was doing ongoing development, the harm to community relations could be mentioned.12:42
gabriel9|workand they dont wwant to give it :D12:42
SpeedEvilSo absenting the legal question - is it likely to harm potential Meltmi openness.12:42
jonniand there are some patent and ipr reasons too why some sources cannot be released.12:42
Stecchinoas far as I know all the Nokia devs that stayed are now working on M12:43
gabriel9|workAnd Meltemi is new OS :/12:44
gabriel9|worki dont get it12:44
gabriel9|workthey have one OS and they create another12:45
*** tom___ has quit IRC12:45
SpeedEvilYou missed 'throwing away any minimal inertia in the marketplace they had'12:45
gabriel9|workyea that also12:46
SpeedEvilMeltmi is going to face a hell of an uphill struggle.12:46
gabriel9|workand it is lov end12:46
SpeedEvilIt would have been interesting to see the results if Nokia had released N901 a year on from n900 with a modest hardware refresh, and continued SW devel.12:46
gabriel9|work40% of people in US have smartphone12:46
SpeedEvilIndeed.12:47

JaffaAlso, VCards have got pictures encoded as multi-100KB PNGs. This might explain Contacts' slowness (when they're only ever shown as 80x80ish)14:15
