But the purpose of the freezes is to make sure we're not crunched for time with replacing screenshots and the like 22:34 i don't think it's a bugfix, but i don't think the UIFe paperwork or getting the ack is too much work if we want this in 22:34 on another note: will this rework finish before the release? 22:35 well we're already in this semi-consistent state 22:35 or in other words, will we release with all-consistent icons even with the UIFe paperwork and uploading thingy? 22:35 so there's really not much to lose 22:35 hard to say, it's a lot of icons 22:35 and to go even further: do we want to release an SRU? 22:35 even if the work is repetitious and anyone could help, i doubt anybody apart from me will contribute 22:36 That's the nature of these things :) 22:36 as we dont use the icons in screenshots in our docs i consider an SRU absolutely doable 22:36 bluesabre: the nature of icon updates is that i have to work on them alone..? :D 22:36 What sort of work load is involved? Surely it's more than search & replace? 22:37 well i have to open every icon and add a new gradient, replacing the old one 22:37 i doubt the svgs are consistent enough to be able to script this 22:37 i didn't mean the SRU would be not doable even if we had screenshots or that 22:37 most of them are in the actions/ subfolders though 22:37 i would be willing to have a go at scripting if you can explain what needs to be done 22:37 the question is if we think that getting this consistency is important enough for an SRU on itself 22:38 (and i already fixed a lot of icons already) 22:38 ali1234: that'd be awesome! 22:38 because the SRU process is a different beast than an UIFe 22:38 Yeah 22:38 and that said... 22:38 knome: i know, my main target would be UIFe 22:38 if we think we will be doing an SRU, then don't sweat on the UIFe's now 22:38 but if we think we can get it all in by release, then for sure i vote for some more sweat for ochosi - and can do the UIFe paperwork 22:40 I think it'd be a nice to have. 22:40 right 22:40 The difference isn't drastic, but any additional polish we can have is welcome 22:41 definitely - we're kind of in a state where i'd rather go all way than leave the inconsistency there 22:41 If we enter SRU territory, it gets painful 22:41 (so the two current commits are in fact fixes of icons that were broken - we should get those in anyway) 22:41 bluesabre, i vote for more polish only for the polish speaking users! 22:41 ok, so then i propose the following: 22:41 1) bluesabre uploads the two commits that are bugfix as bugfix 22:41 2) ochosi tries the scripted approach with ali1234 22:41 3) if 2) fails ochosi tries to update the icons manually (as many as possible) 22:41 4) knome does the paperwork for UIFe 22:41 can I make a suggestion 22:41 sure 22:41 if It is not stepping on toes 22:41 :) 22:41 how many icons are we talking about, approximately? 22:42 how about switch the greens on the new icons 22:42 ochosi, ack from me on that proposal 22:42 back to be consistent with all the others 22:42 it would be much less work 22:42 jd109: not really, the new greens outnumber the old ones by far 22:42 oh okay 22:42 :-( 22:42 ali1234: hmm, maybe 50? 22:43 (and even if not, then we would be "outdated" for two years until the next LTS) 22:43 50 x 8 different sizes each or 50 total? 22:43 pretty sure × 22:43 50 total 22:43 oh wow 22:43 really? 22:43 x8 would include the symlinks 22:43 Seems obvious 22:43 Let's go for it :D 22:43 hey - i've done a lot of work already! 22:43 i guess svg doesn't have different sizes 22:43 :) 22:43 yes indeed, let's go for it 22:43 >900 icon updates in this cycle 22:44 with just one ochosi... we need more ochosis to be more productive 22:44 ochosi, now the proposal with #action and we're good to go ;) 22:44 just one more follow-up question 22:44 i can also clear out some other inconsistencies 22:44 like? 22:44 where icons look very different in different sizes 22:45 e.g. MS excel files look totally different in 128px 22:45 if the changes are trivial (eg. don't take a huge amount of time), go for it 22:45 we can bunch this all up as an "consistency" update 22:45 128px: http://i.imgur.com/a01oBEf.png 22:45 64px and below: http://i.imgur.com/gPuWqVn.png 22:46 hah, yes 22:46 that's really confusing and misleading 22:46 i just noticed it a short while ago 22:46 indeed 22:46 (i obviously don't work with office files "enough") 22:46 yes, i'm all for fixing this as well while we are at it 22:46 hence your sanity 22:46 lol 22:46 I agree 22:47 One nice UIFe bug to cover it all 22:47 yep 22:47 #action bluesabre will push beaaf3f6f47fb1e80fb7821fe69b3513a707cfbe and 28120d05e011ec89412d33d7dc5897d7f6bcf8ee from elementary-xfce to xubuntu-artwork as bugfix 22:47 * meetingology bluesabre will push beaaf3f6f47fb1e80fb7821fe69b3513a707cfbe and 28120d05e011ec89412d33d7dc5897d7f6bcf8ee from elementary-xfce to xubuntu-artwork as bugfix 22:47 and not even by a stretch, it really is one thing 22:47 * bluesabre is prepared 22:47 #action ochosi and ali1234 will try to script the gradient swap-out for most icons that need updating 22:47 * meetingology ochosi and ali1234 will try to script the gradient swap-out for most icons that need updating 22:48 #action ochosi will manually update whatever icons are left over from the script approach 22:48 * meetingology ochosi will manually update whatever icons are left over from the script approach 22:48 #action knome will file the UIFe paperwork once the branch is ready 22:48 * meetingology knome will file the UIFe paperwork once the branch is ready 22:48 #action bluesabre will again be doing the uploading honours 22:48 * meetingology bluesabre will again be doing the uploading honours 22:49 i'm filing the bug now that it's ready for subbing appropriate teams to it 22:49 what's the latest point in time for getting the UIFe approved? 22:49 Lots of xubuntu-artwork uploads in the next few days :) 22:49 ochosi, as long as it happens before the release... 22:49 yeah, but how many days before 22:49 i can't remember what was a realistic window 22:49 i think we don't want to go into the final freeze territory 22:50 ochosi: RC is the 19th, archive probably locked at that point 22:50 ok 22:50 so i have roughly 10 days 22:50 sounds do-able 22:50 thanks, we can move on to other discussion items (if there are any) 22:50 * bluesabre believes in ochosi 22:50 yes, i have one 22:50 k go ahead 22:51 I need to relocate, bbiab 22:51 #topic Discussion 22:51 #subtopic 18.04 Community Wallpaper Contest Winners 22:51 https://xubuntu.org/news/18-04-community-wallpaper-contest-winners/ 22:51 done :) 22:52 noice 22:52 well done 22:52 Nice! 22:52 any other discussion items?
