00:37 <Ayelis> Just dropped in to ask if anyone was interested in working on issue 1021 (Categories). I don't have any sort of dev environment set up, so I can't handle it myself, but maybe there's a way I could help out?

10:20 <politas> Hi Ayelis! Sorry no one was about earlier to discuss your situation

10:32 <politas> Ayelis, one thing you could do to get the ball rolling is submit a PR with changes to the Spec and Schema to support the new functionality. Once the Spec and Schema changes are defined, Netkan and our testing can be updated to handle the categories, and then we can add them to the UI. You won't need a build environment to do the spec and schema changes; it can all be done with GitHub.

11:13 <linuxgurugamer> hi @politas

11:13 <politas> linuxgurugamer o/

11:13 <linuxgurugamer> You merged the ETT change I was waiting to merge :D

11:13 <politas> Yep :D

11:13 <linuxgurugamer> was wondering why github was taking so long to finish the check

11:14 <politas> That KPBS/MKS Integration Pack - I fear I will need to deep-dive before I even understand what it needs.

11:15 <linuxgurugamer> I kind of figured, and given what it does, I would say to not make it a high priority

11:16 <linuxgurugamer> it's the first one I feel may not be a good thing for CKAN, given that it's literally playing games with other mods

11:24 <politas> Righto. I've got a To-Do tab open in my Chromium

11:30 <linuxgurugamer> k

11:47 <Olympic1> o/

12:32 <politas> o/

12:34 <politas> How long do we wait for Galileo88 to reply about the sunflare question?

12:46 <politas> Voy a la cama. ¡Buenas noches!

12:49 <Daz> ^wat

12:53 <Olympic1> :P

12:57 <Olympic1> politas: SVE needs everything from scatterer because it gets modified, so SVE doesnt provide any scatterer config

12:57 <Olympic1> so the provides needs to be changed to SVE-Scatterer-Config and SVE-Sunflare

17:12 <Ayelis> Thanks politas! Happy to help! :)

19:37 <politas> Olympic1, thanks for checking that out. I've taken out the Scatterer config provides

19:41 <politas> There isn't anything left that depends on SVE-Scatterer-Config and SVE-Sunflare. Those were the way we got the SVE downloads to provide the necessary configs.

19:56 <Olympic1> np, merging

20:15 <Olympic1> FUCK

20:15 <Olympic1> I accidentally deleted the meta repo

20:16 <Olympic1> politas:

20:17 <Olympic1> ehm

20:19 <Olympic1> Do I create a new one and push my fork

20:20 <Ayelis> D: You accidentally the whole meta repo!

20:20 <Olympic1> yes, was really accident

20:20 <Olympic1> I thought I was on my 2nd fork

20:21 <Ayelis> You may need to email support@github.com... They're pretty quick on these sort of things.

20:21 <Olympic1> techman83: politas: Daz: ??

20:22 <Daz> oops

20:22 <Daz> I don't have anything close to an up-to-date fork

20:22 <Daz> but I assume not all is lost

20:23 <Olympic1> Do I create a new one and push my fork? I was 7 commits behind

20:23 <Ayelis> Stack Exchange says github support can do a quick undelete, takes like 10 minutes.

20:23 <Daz> Olympic1 I assume there is something like a support-hotline for times like these :)

20:23 <Olympic1> ok

20:23 <Daz> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9247961/recover-a-deleted-repository-github-issues

20:24 <Daz> remember to put up an issue where you massively understate the issue at hand

20:24 <Olympic1> ok, emailing

20:25 <Daz> like the issue report could be "So something bad just happened" and the body should end with something like "But it's not _that_ bad" :p

20:28 <Daz> tbh would be worse if it was the .netkan repo. even if we have someone with a fork a few commits behind the bot will solve it aslong as the .netkan repo is there

20:28 <Olympic1> send.

20:30 <Olympic1> still, it is bad

20:31 <Daz> yes

20:32 <Daz> I'm sure there are people on the forums already confused about why their newly downloaded modlist is empty

20:32 <Daz> will that fubar their registries when the mods aren't available to look up against?

20:35 <Olympic1> Oh, after some fiddling my fork is completely up-to-date: https://github.com/Olympic1/CKAN-meta/commits/Recovery

20:38 <Daz> let's hope github can undelete though, losing a lot of issues otherways. Not that I think many of those issues are still being linked to

20:41 <Daz> zengei: "The situation is less than ideal"

20:43 <Ayelis> Implementing categories after the fact seems tricky. You can't require they be added as it seems that would invalidate mods that don't have them, which equates to all mods. You can only add them optionally and hope they catch on?

20:44 <Daz> Ayelis do it like everything else and add x_category <.<

20:45 <Daz> Ayelis or add it as a new part of the resources? It'd have to be manually added though since I don't know if we can scrape that?

20:46 <Olympic1> also, we'll need to think about the KSP dlc: Making History

20:48 <Daz> ugh how to I look at a mod through the api for spacedock?

20:48 <Daz> been forever

20:54 <Olympic1> ehm, there were some changes for it, so I'm not up-to-date

20:55 <ckanbot> [CKAN] Dazpoet commented on issue #2027: Don't we have someone *cough* @pjf *cough* who loves discussing licenses and how they work and not work? https://git.io/v9va7

20:58 <Olympic1> the meta is back, but its now a fork from pjf/CKAN-meta, will that be a problem

21:00 <Daz> what happens when pjf decides to remove the original repo? Or do forks just stay?

21:02 <Daz> Olympic1 when I run into github issues like this one I usually try to contact pjf tbh, he's the most gitomancy-capable human (atleast I think he's human) I know :)

21:07 <Olympic1> politas or techman83 will need to fix the settings of the meta repo to see if everything is ok

21:08 <Daz> =)

21:31 <ckanbot> [CKAN] smattiso opened pull request #2034: Add spec/schema to implement category sort column (master...master) https://git.io/v9vX2

22:02 <Olympic1> The good news is that the bot still pushes updates :D
