... so that is why people use Squirrel for Windows updates?

@Sytten
No I mean the packaging on our side is a pain to setup since you need a valid code validation certificate, you need to setup squirrel, etc

@SolarLiner
oh
Nathan Graule
@SolarLiner
... so what do we do for the name
I need to name the ppa for linux
Although I can go for something like ppa:solarliner/mfd2
Nathan Graule
@SolarLiner
actually it's fine
I can either make a new PPA or just change the title/description and leave the ppa as a codename.
Émile Fugulin
@Sytten
I dont have much time this week, I will work on that next weekiend
I also hope to hear from @Aluxian
Nathan Graule
@SolarLiner
He did post an issue today too
Émile Fugulin
@Sytten
I know
Nathan Graule
@SolarLiner
... And when I got everything set up, I read that one cannot push manually crafted .deb files to a PPA
So I need to figure out a way to make my PPA build something into a .deb file that Launchpad then "builds" to .deb and then allows itself to be installed through apt
Émile Fugulin
@Sytten
Hum that's strange

@sidneys
@Sytten Just released the new version of Pushbullet for Desktop.looking forward to your feedback ;)
Émile Fugulin
@Sytten
Cool I will test that :)

@nizos
How do i show the top bar again?
"[2.0.0-beta] Menu bar and tray icon menu are inconsistent (they have different subsets of functionality), and there's no way to restore the menu bar once it's hidden"
and I'm out

btw @sidneys nice job on that PB for Desktop app, it's the app I missed on my Ubuntu laptop ;)
I have ideas on how to expand it though, mainly by adding the ability to click on notification buttons
Maybe I'll give myself more work once I get this whole notifcation thing sorted out on Messenger for Desktop
Speaking of which
I've found my dumb problem (as always) on the python notification cli: I forgot to add a glib even loop to catch the callbacks
so now it works
so now I can fully implement it on MFD
Émile Fugulin
@Sytten
cool
not much time to work on it this week, but I have a week off after that
Nathan Graule
@SolarLiner
Also, I think that, although we can't put the whole github repo to Launchpad, we can somehow use gulp compile:linux and then upload the build folder to the ppa with scripts for the build farms to package the app
Émile Fugulin
@Sytten
Yep its a simple script
kind of strange not to be able to put a full deb
Nathan Graule
@SolarLiner
it's because apt was designed with user contributions in mind
which means that at any point you can download the source to a package, patch it, and upload your patch for review and inclusion
it's not just some sort of cloud that everyone can put their apps in
Émile Fugulin
@Sytten
ho, maybe we could snapshot the code when we do a new version and push it on launchpad
and then built it with the exisiting scripts (or new ones if necessary)
Nathan Graule
@SolarLiner
well, when you push to deploy, it automatically builds all packages
Émile Fugulin
@Sytten
yep but its using circle CI
and pushing the deb to aws
from what I understand
Nathan Graule
@SolarLiner
I'm sure we can add a routine that pushes the built 'intermediate' code that goes in ./build/linux
and then triggers a PPA rebuild
Émile Fugulin
@Sytten
Probably
would be kind of a hack, I will check how others do it
