[14:17:07 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> athena: the .channel cdata patch is in SVN for all of 3.x
[14:17:16 CDT(-0500)] <athena> YAY
[14:17:19 CDT(-0500)] <athena> you are my hero (smile)
[14:17:21 CDT(-0500)] <athena> thanks so much!
[14:17:24 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> sorry it took so long
[14:17:30 CDT(-0500)] <athena> no worries
[14:17:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I think I have most of our local mods back in
[14:17:37 CDT(-0500)] <athena> are we still looking at having a release today?
[14:17:42 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'm only doing the name -> title switch for channels in trunk
[14:17:49 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> well a code freeze at the end of the day today
[14:17:52 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i think the only outstanding one i have is changing the default portlet timeout, which is trivial to commit
[14:17:54 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ok
[14:17:57 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and I'll work on the releases Thursday/Friday
[14:18:11 CDT(-0500)] <athena> cool
[14:19:28 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so really 8am central time tomorrow morning
[14:19:35 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> since I'm not going to get started on it until then (tongue)
[14:23:31 CDT(-0500)] <athena> gotcha (smile)
[16:06:13 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> athena was this jira ever done: https://issues.jasig.org/browse/UP-2803
[16:06:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I thought I remember talking about it
[16:06:43 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yes, but in trunk-only
[16:06:53 CDT(-0500)] <athena> not sure if it'd advocate moving it to patches
[16:07:06 CDT(-0500)] <athena> guess we could think about it, but maybe not for this release?
[16:07:24 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> trunk only is fine
[16:07:32 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it just has no fix-for and is still open (tongue)
[16:07:43 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i don't think we've tested it much
[16:07:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I'll resolve it against 3.3
[16:07:51 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yeah, at least mark it against 3.3
[16:08:03 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> just going through our list of unscheduled issues
[16:08:10 CDT(-0500)] <athena> awesome (smile)
[16:08:52 CDT(-0500)] <athena> are you still checking in stuff against 3.2.x?
[16:09:02 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yup
[16:09:05 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I will be doing more tonight
[16:09:10 CDT(-0500)] <athena> hmm, ok
[16:09:14 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> going to see how many open issues can be quick fixes
[16:09:30 CDT(-0500)] <athena> we're updating the unicon showcase tomorrow morning
[16:09:44 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i may just do an update against the code we have this afternoon
[16:12:00 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i've got an account update portlet working in trunk now
[16:12:01 CDT(-0500)] <athena> ju
[16:12:01 CDT(-0500)] <athena> st
[16:12:07 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> great
[16:12:08 CDT(-0500)] <athena> just need to get account creation working
[16:12:17 CDT(-0500)] <athena> and we'll probably want a separate user-focused password change portlet maybe?
[16:12:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I did some minor updates to the local account store stuff
[16:12:23 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[16:12:26 CDT(-0500)] <athena> awesome
[16:12:30 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> keep that one nice and simple
[16:12:34 CDT(-0500)] <athena> that code still needs some fixing up
[16:12:38 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> just making sure all the required caches are in place
[16:12:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> fixed one of the relationships
[16:12:44 CDT(-0500)] <athena> oh awesome - thanks
[16:12:47 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i knwo that was outstanding
[16:12:55 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and also addressed value updating
[16:12:57 CDT(-0500)] <athena> and one of the methods still doesn't actually do multi-valued attributes
[16:13:08 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> which one?
[16:13:20 CDT(-0500)] <athena> need to look
[16:13:36 CDT(-0500)] <athena> will have to look at your value update changes vs mine
[16:13:40 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> take a look at https://developer.jasig.org/source/changelog/jasigsvn/uPortal?cs=21890
[16:13:43 CDT(-0500)] <athena> what i had there originally of course didn't actually work
[16:13:46 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> that was what I just did today
[16:13:53 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I've learned (the hard way) about updating collections of hibernate entities
[16:14:12 CDT(-0500)] <lfuller> (smile)
[16:14:14 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> if you don't re-use objects as much as possible you get a huge number of DB updates
[16:14:31 CDT(-0500)] <lfuller> yup
[16:14:32 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yeah
[16:14:52 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i think our updates do about the same thing
[16:14:58 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oops
[16:15:07 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> gues I should have checked with you first :/
[16:15:11 CDT(-0500)] <athena> lol no it's really fine
[16:15:14 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I just got into it after seeing an ehcache warning
[16:15:15 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i appreciate you fixing all this stuff
[16:15:22 CDT(-0500)] <athena> and you fixed way more than i've had time to look at
[16:15:30 CDT(-0500)] <athena> i'm wondering if we want to drop the special displayName handling though
[16:15:36 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> probably
[16:15:37 CDT(-0500)] <athena> would it make more sense to just actually specify a display name?
[16:15:41 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> we can take care of that in person directory
[16:15:44 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah
[16:15:48 CDT(-0500)] <athena> that way you could have a middle name if you wanted
[16:16:02 CDT(-0500)] <athena> or if you're from a culture where the full name isn't actually first + last it'd be less annoying
[16:16:38 CDT(-0500)] <athena> while we're at the conference we should talk about this portlet and the role of the self-service account portlet
[16:16:44 CDT(-0500)] <athena> apetro and i talked a bit about that this morning
