badcloudHello all18:23
badcloudis the n900 supposed to answer/end calls by opening/closing hardware keyboard?18:24
badcloudI'm running Thumb Testing18:24
*** DrCode has joined #maemo-ssu18:37
*** Pali has joined #maemo-ssu18:38
badcloudHi DrCode, Pali18:40
Palibadcloud: hi18:41
badcloudDo you guys know of it's possible to answer/end calls by opening/closing hardware keyboard? I'm running cssu thumb testing18:41
Palido not know...18:42
PaliIIRC no such feature was added to CSSU18:42
badcloudthanks Pali18:43
badcloudin that case it would be a nice feature to have18:43
badcloudalbiet I'm asking ~6-7 years late :)18:44
bencohcall-ui is closed-source ... I wonder if there'd be a clean way to implement it18:48
Palisome daemon18:55
Paliopen/close keyboard event is sent via gpio-switch /sys/ interface18:56
Paliand IIRC answering call can be done via dbus18:56
Paliending probably too18:56
Palibadcloud: but try to look at talk.maemo.org or in existing Maemo applications in Extras18:57
Palimaybe there is already some which can do that...18:57
bencohwouldn't that conflict with rtcom-call-ui? (I have actually no idea)18:58
Paliwhy conflict?18:58
Palicall-ui provides some DBUS api18:59
Paliand you can use it18:59
bencohwell there is a slider app to answer calls, so you might be right18:59
freemangordonhi!18:59
Palihi!18:59
bencohha in that case yeah, I thought dbus api was exposed by the underlying framework (rtcom_18:59
bencohhey o?18:59
bencoho/18:59
freemangordonPali: did you think about leaving CSSU thumb-only?19:00
PaliI have no opinion...19:01
Palibasically I do not see any problem19:01
freemangordonwell, I need support, not opinions :)19:01
bencohyou wanna switch CSSU to thumb?19:01
freemangordonthe point is - I won't do it alone19:01
PaliI can help19:02
Palias always19:02
freemangordonbencoh: no, I wanna keep further development on -thumb only19:02
Palibasically all github repos should be prepared for thumb19:02
freemangordonPali: I know you can, the question is will you commit to it19:02
bencohfreemangordon: migrating -testing to -thumb, and backport changes to stable?19:02
freemangordonbencoh: no, freezing -stabe and -testing at the point where they are now19:03
bencohhmm19:03
freemangordoneverything new to be in -thumb only19:03
freemangordonbencoh: the reason behind that is the lack of manpower19:04
freemangordonas simple as that19:04
bencohI guess you're only talking about cssu, not extras builder?19:04
freemangordonI have no powers ove extras builder19:04
freemangordon*over19:04
bencohright19:04
freemangordonwell, I *have* powers, but still :)19:04
bencohand ... does everything work on cssu-thumb in the end?19:04
freemangordonmost probably no19:05
freemangordonbut it will be better than end where nothing works, no matter thumb or not19:05
bencohtrue19:05
freemangordonbencoh: as everyday more and more stuff, esp online is not working anymore19:06
bencohwell I'd be happy to see -thumb hosted on maemo infra for a start, and a thumb build of -stable too19:06
freemangordonand who's going to to that?19:06
bencohand you're right about manpower, so...19:06
bencohno idea :)19:06
freemangordonsee :)19:06
bencohI'd be glad to help ... still need to grab a second device though19:06
freemangordongo ahead :).19:08
freemangordonTBH I need someone to driver the PR stuff - like TMO posting, release notes etc. Dvel stuff as well, ofc19:09
freemangordon*drive19:09
bencoh:)19:10
bencohdo we have an up-to-date list of open tasks?19:11
bencohor something remotely close to that?19:11
freemangordonbencoh: no idea, honestly19:11
freemangordonin my TODO top priority is TLS19:11
bencohI know maemo has a bugtracker, but err...19:12
bencohwhat about TLS?19:12
freemangordonit is olde19:12
freemangordon*old19:12
bencohah you mean openssl19:12
freemangordonno, I meant TLS19:12
freemangordongnutls19:13
bencohah, that one19:13
bencohwhich parts of maemo depend on gnutls (and not openssl or libnss)?19:13
freemangordonyep. libsoup uses it, gstreamer-http uses libsoup :)19:14
bencohI see19:14
freemangordonso soon we will have no https video playback ;)19:14
bencohindeed19:14
bencohhm I actually thought we didn't have https support in gstreamer thus far19:15
freemangordonwe have19:15
bencohdid you check gnutls ABI?19:15
freemangordoncutetube uses it through Qt19:15
freemangordonbencoh: no, but do we have an option?19:16
bencohyeah but ... who takes care of https? phonon through qtnetwork stuff, or gstreamer through libsoup?19:16
freemangordongstreamer through libsoup19:16
bencohhmmkay19:16
freemangordonand libsoup through gnutls19:16
bencohsouphttpsrc?19:17
freemangordonand for the fun to be full, newer gnutls wants newer glib2-0 :)19:17
freemangordonGstHttpSrc iirc19:17
freemangordonanyway, we can't stay on 2.24 forever19:20
freemangordonso, if somebody wants to help, call me :)19:22
bencohI'm actually quite clueless regarding glib upgrade :/19:23
bencohI know quite a few projects need it, but ... newer releases really break ABI19:24
freemangordonwhat do you mean by saying clueless?19:24
bencohI mean I dont really know what to do about it19:24
freemangordonyes I know ABI will be broken, but again - what are the options?19:24
bencohhow would we prevent closed-source core apps from breaking then?19:25
* Sicelo would ike to help in non developer things (dunno about PR though)19:25
freemangordonin short - we will have to manage to build it in SB, this is19:25
freemangordonSicelo: well, I use "PR" when I talk about ton-devel stuff :)19:25
freemangordon*non-devel19:26
bencohfreemangordon: do you mean patching recent glib to preserve old ABI, or build new vanilla glib and ship with 2 versions?19:26
freemangordonbencoh: we will either patch it, or do some LD_PRELOAD magic19:26
bencohhuhu, stop reading in my mind :D19:27
Sicelothen yes, ping me anytime19:27
freemangordonbencoh: either ways we'll have to forward-port maemo-specific patches, but there are just a couple of them19:27
bencohyeah I'm not too afraid about maemo-specific patches19:28
freemangordonbencoh: the bigger problem will be with the dependencies, I wan't to try to avoid pulling half the debian (or ubuntu) packages in maemo, albeit it might become inevitable19:28
bencohtrue19:28
freemangordonSicelo: ok19:29
bencohthat's why I dont really wanna play with LD_PRELOAD /multiversioning19:29
freemangordonbencoh: I did some job recently, then stopped19:29
bencohtbh the real solution here would be to remove/replace closed stuff, but...19:29
freemangordonsee https://github.com/community-ssu, gmp and nettle19:30
freemangordongnutls needs those19:30
bencohyou know better than me that it'd take quite a looong time19:30
freemangordonwell, but sooner we start...19:30
freemangordonif we don;t start it, count maemo dead in 2 years or sooner19:31
freemangordonwell, it is already dead, but refuses to admit it :). But if it stays like that...19:31
freemangordonalso, maybe it is not that bad idea to start pulling stuff from alive distros19:32
bencohwhat about trying to build maemo "from scratch" as suggested by doc?19:34
bencohie start with a blob-free base, and progressively add stuff?19:34
freemangordonthis is another task, separate from cssu19:35
bencohboth would meet at some point19:35
freemangordonin a distant future, maybe19:35
bencohwe cant upgrade any of the core libs without breaking everything19:35
freemangordonwhy everything?19:35
bencohevery blob19:36
bencohwell, not everything, but every glib-dependent blob19:36
freemangordonwe can;t be sure unless we try. at least we will know what needs to be fixed19:36
bencohah, sure you could start by breaking it and try to mend it :)19:36
freemangordondo you see any other option?19:37
freemangordonglib maemo uses is how old? 7 years?19:37
freemangordonwe need to break the eggs19:38
freemangordonunless I am missing somethign19:38
bencohiirc you updated glib to some 5yo version19:39
freemangordonthis is in cssu, yes19:39
bencohbut yeah, still freaking old19:39

Sicelodunno the application, but https://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control#Answer_current_phone_call21:49
Sicelo(otoh if open keyboard to take call was to be implemented, i'd hope it would be not mandatory ... i personally don't like the idea so well. i understand it would help in borked TS situation maybe)21:51
