DocScrutinizer05~wiki dovecot01:02
DocScrutinizer05o.O01:02
infobotAt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dovecot (URL), Wikipedia explains: "{{wiktionary|dovecot}} 'Dovecot' may refer to: * Dovecot, Merseyside, an area of the City of Liverpool * Dovecot (software), an IMAP and POP software package * Dovecote, a building for pigeons or doves * Dovecote (disambiguation) "01:02
merlin1991DocScrutinizer05: dovecot is an imap/pop3 server01:03
DocScrutinizer05;-)01:03
DocScrutinizer05prooly nicer than cyrus01:04
merlin1991still it's crazy, that setting up postfix was easier than dovecot01:04
merlin1991(postfix being the smtpd bit in my setup)01:05
DocScrutinizer05cyrus reminds me on midgard, in a strange way01:05
DocScrutinizer05alas my "sysop" decided that cyrus was the right mailserver for my box01:06
*** merlin1991 has quit IRC01:06
*** merlin1991 has joined #maemo-ssu01:07
merlin1991server now reboots01:07
* merlin1991 hopes for the best01:07
DocScrutinizer05the most amazing detail: I switched down mysql on my box and cyrus still delivers my mails01:08

merlin1991okay the quassel core should be finallly ready now01:16
DocScrutinizer05oh, another mysql-nonsense01:20
merlin1991DocScrutinizer05: I'm using a postgres backend :D01:22
merlin1991freemangordon, Pali: -devel and -thumb are reenabled01:23
* merlin1991 just hopes he didn't forget any servicews01:23
DocScrutinizer05honestly, I see the rationela for both a mailserver and a irc bouncer to use SQL identical: ZILCH01:23
DocScrutinizer05rationale01:23
merlin1991the mailserver is using files though01:23
DocScrutinizer05not cyrus01:24
merlin1991well *my* mailserver is using files01:24
freemangordonmerlin1991: nice01:27
DocScrutinizer05waaaaait, was that quassel where the only reason to use mysql been the allegedly awesome text compression or avoiding overhead of sector/block alignment of small files or somesuch BS?01:29
merlin1991quassel doesn't even support mysql01:33
merlin1991and the argument is multiple attached sessions01:33
merlin1991--> transactions01:33

freemangordonmerlin1991: how do you think, what are the chances to distrubute DSP codecs from harmattan via CSSU?14:10
freemangordonmerlin1991: who do you think we should ask?14:10
freemangordonTI?14:10
freemangordonmerlin1991: https://harmattan-bugs.nokia.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17114:21
povbotBug 171: browser removes trailing slash from urls14:21
freemangordonmerlin1991: please send a mail to TI (whatever it means) asking them to allow us to redistribute harmattan codecs on n90014:21

Sc0rpiusI guess. Sqlite files always grow and grow even if there is no data in them18:56

merlin1991yea, don't know who to contact, but I can bring it up in the next council meeting20:38

DocScrutinizer05patched fmtxd might turn user's device into something illegal. Not every user might appreciate this22:54
DocScrutinizer05only a theoretical consideration, but still22:55
keriomaking it configurable could be neat22:55
keriobut it's not easily doable22:56
DocScrutinizer05it's as easy as all other optional alternative packages22:56
keriono, i meant the binary22:56
DocScrutinizer05ooops, it's not optional, just plain alternative22:57
DocScrutinizer05change the package names to fmtxd-cssu and fmtxd-original, make both of them "provide fmtxd", make mp-community-pr depend on fmtxd property instead of fmtxd package22:59
kerioHAM will take one at random23:00
DocScrutinizer05my uneducated idea of how to handle it23:00
DocScrutinizer05that's why we specified that this needs a patched HAM, long ago23:00
DocScrutinizer05alas, this seems the inverse chicken-egg problem: nobody touches HAM and nobody ever provided a single POC alternative package23:01
kerioapt-get23:02
kerio>:D23:02
DocScrutinizer05and every time I mention it, somebody comes up with "but why don't we simply.... <insert ruled out non-alternatives here, like additional repos and younameit>"23:02
DocScrutinizer05yes, we mentioned that apt-get *can* already handle it, when we publicly discussed it here in this very channel, a year ago23:03
DocScrutinizer05and I think we also accepted worldclock as a first nice candidate for a POC implementation of a alternative package23:04
DocScrutinizer05alas original author claimed he's unable to do the packaging, and left it to CSSU maintainers to do that23:05
DocScrutinizer05then estel kicked in and bickered and bitched about that decission until literally everybody got upset or annoyed to no end23:06
keriowhere's estel, btw?23:06
keriostill banned?23:06
DocScrutinizer05you honestly wanna hear where I hope he is?23:07
keriodo i?23:07
DocScrutinizer05no23:07
PaliI think we already had discussion about fmtxd and decision was to create git repo on gitorious and include it to cssu23:08
DocScrutinizer05my concern still stands23:08
DocScrutinizer05as a user (e.g. in france, or china) I wouldn't appreciate customs at airport demonstarting to me that I own a illegal device23:09
DocScrutinizer05some authorities can be rather humorless regarding such regulations23:10
merlin1991nope banlist is empty23:10
DocScrutinizer05merlin1991: NOT EMPTY, BUT STILL23:10
merlin1991yeah23:10
DocScrutinizer05oops capslock,23:10
merlin19911 non-entry23:10
DocScrutinizer05sorry23:10
kerioWHY ARE WE SHOUTING ALL OF A SUDDEN23:10
kerioDID SOMETHING HAPPEN23:10
merlin1991basically empty23:10
DocScrutinizer05kerio: YES, STH HAPPENED23:11
DocScrutinizer05I HIT CAPSLOCK, with tab23:11
kerioWHY IS YOUR CAPSLOCK KEY STILL ENABLED?23:11
DocScrutinizer05good question23:11
keriomine is another LCTRL23:12
keriodamn useful for emacs23:12
DocScrutinizer05probably because this kbd is better than the laptop kbd I had before, so I successfully ignored the problem here23:12
DocScrutinizer05(regulations) we could continue speculations on why Nokia decided to ship no radio app with stock maemo. For a start it's good to know about taxes several countries ask for importing anything that has FM radio functionality. Several other states require each owner of a radio to pay taxes per month as well, and you may even get sued when they find you own a radio but don't pay the tax.23:17
DocScrutinizer05so, would you think every user would appreciate when CSSU would suddenly ship with mandatory FM radio app in mp-community-pr?23:19
DocScrutinizer05...just hypothetical, to make a point...23:19
keriowait, fm radio?23:19
keriowe're talking about the modified fmtxd, aren't we23:20
DocScrutinizer05and please nobody starts the "you're free to not use CSSU" argument!23:20
RaimuI put mute button on my capslock23:20
Raimu"If you feel the need to use capslock you probably need the volume turned down"23:20
DocScrutinizer05kerio: yes, that's why I explained that I was just giving another example23:20
DocScrutinizer05it's sufficiently related to fmtxd, but obvious enough that it's another dedicated case with similar side effects23:22
kerioanyway, i thought that the fmrx enabler was shipped in every geographical repo23:23
DocScrutinizer05"maximum compatibility" not only means technical/API compatibility, it also includes legal/statutory compatibility23:24
DocScrutinizer05kerio: yes, but no *app* to use it23:24
kerioso?23:25
DocScrutinizer05IANAL, but I suppose Nokia lawyers carefully checked what Nokia may and what it may not ship23:25
DocScrutinizer05so? see above23:26
kerio"we could also ship a radio app, but we'd have to write it, and it would cost $amount $currency" "fuck that shit"23:26
DocScrutinizer05tl;dr or what?23:26
DocScrutinizer05bullshit!23:26
DocScrutinizer05that's not how companies specify their product requirements23:27
keriohow's shipping the fmtx enabler different from shipping fmtx enabler and a crappy radio app?23:27
DocScrutinizer05wut?23:27
kerio*fmrx enabler23:27
kerio:s23:27
DocScrutinizer05IANAL23:28
DocScrutinizer05go to your lawyer and ask him, pay yourself for the answer you're asking for23:28
keriowe could ask rob bauer!23:28
DocScrutinizer05omg, no! he's patent lawyer23:28
DocScrutinizer05he has no clue about import regulations23:29
DocScrutinizer05but my 2 cents are: Nokia never advertised any FMrx for N900, and it never shipped any N900 that could do FM radio ootb. So when it talks like a duck and walks like a duck...23:31
DocScrutinizer05otherwise you'd have to deal with every electroncis educational building kit as if it were a FM radio23:32
DocScrutinizer05since with sufficient work it can get turned into a FM radio23:32
DocScrutinizer05and quite obviously the TX regulations are quite different to the more monetary RX regulations23:33
DocScrutinizer05TX is about security, first and foremost23:33
kerioheh, the law in italy regarding what has to pay the tv tax states "any device capable of receiving radio/tv signals"23:33
kerioa coat hanger fits that description, doesn't it23:34
DocScrutinizer05sure, does that include your video projector? your oscilloscope?23:34
keriono, it was actually broader than that23:35
DocScrutinizer05well, in italy probably it does23:35
kerioany device that could be adapted to receive radio/tv signals23:35
kerio(computer with a tuner, for instance)23:35
DocScrutinizer05in italy a screwdriver is a lethal weapon23:35
DocScrutinizer05probably a branch from a tree, broken off and flushed, is a lethat weapon23:36
kerioat some point, it becomes a wooden knife, surely23:36
kerioor maybe a wooden stiletto23:36
DocScrutinizer05yeah, just depends on local police chief23:36
DocScrutinizer05and if local police station's statistics of last 6 months were better or worse than those of neighbour village23:37
DocScrutinizer05that's italy23:37
DocScrutinizer05almost like USA23:38
DocScrutinizer05where each sheriff *is* the law, in his district23:38
DocScrutinizer05anyway, please don't gamble with legal properties of N900, in CSSU23:39
DocScrutinizer05particularly, don't force illegal stuff onto users please!23:40
keriobtw, web browsers are illegal in kerioland23:40
kerioremove microb at once23:40
DocScrutinizer05BS23:41
DocScrutinizer05removing microb makes N900 illegal in DocScrutinizer-land23:41
DocScrutinizer05and it always been a legal device so far, with a proper browser23:41
DocScrutinizer05so, don't gamble with legal properies of N900 please!23:42
DocScrutinizer05kerio: you just nailed microB to cssu fremantle forever, by your push23:43
kerioD:23:43
*** unclouded has joined #maemo-ssu23:46
DocScrutinizer05btw MCC officially supporting and promoting CSSU and not forbidding illegal fmtxd could be one of the very rage cases where users could actually *sue* MCC for something MCC did or did not23:46
DocScrutinizer05s/rage/rare/23:47
infobotDocScrutinizer05 meant: btw MCC officially supporting and promoting CSSU and not forbidding illegal fmtxd could be one of the very rare cases where users could actually *sue* MCC for something MCC did or did not23:47
keriois MCC even a legal entity one can sue?23:47
DocScrutinizer05sure, you can sue the members of MCC23:47
keriooic23:47
DocScrutinizer05and while for sure no user could sue another user for providing a hacked illegal fmtxd, you probably can sue MCC members for "officially" supporting and even forcing it on innocent users' devices23:49
*** lexik has joined #maemo-ssu23:52
DocScrutinizer05guess whom the patent troll companies would sue when CSSU would ship the incriminated mp3-decoder libs or whatever23:54
DocScrutinizer05probably first line HiFo and not very much after that MCC/HFC23:55
DocScrutinizer05then the maintainers of CSSU and the sysops of maemo.org23:56
DocScrutinizer05and last not least the package maintainer23:57
