SteveAmorgs: i know exactly how to fix that error you were getting with rdf stuff04:08
mpthi SteveA, https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/1244 is an example of docstrings not being suitable for help04:08
SteveAmpt: right.  which is kinda what docstrings are for, for a python programmer04:10
mptyes04:10
SteveAi'll need to think about how to fix this for us04:10
SteveAone way would be to make a new schema, that extends the old one04:10
SteveAwith corrected "presentation type" docstrings04:10
mptA schema for auto-generated forms?04:10
SteveAanother way would be to see this as a problem that should be fixed upstream04:11
SteveAby having different programmer_description and user_description fields04:11
SteveA(with better names, i should think)04:11
SteveAmpt: yes04:11
SteveAwe're going to be moving all the schemas that are used only for autogenerated forms into browser/04:11
mptI was sure I'd started writing a spec on how auto-generated forms should be presented, but I can't find it04:12
SteveAso, the simplest solution, at least for now, is to do that, and to extend "programmer schemas" with ones in launchpad/browser when we need to04:12

SteveAmorgs: here is what you need to do:04:13
SteveA1. change how you wrote the page to include a ViewPageTemplateFile as an attribute of the class, rather than saying 'template="..."' in the zcml04:14
SteveA2. make your zcml say that the page is rendered by calling your view class, using 'attribute="__call__"'04:14
SteveA3. in your view class' '__call__' method, set the various http headers you need to, say 'unicodedata = self.template()' and then say 'encodeddata = unicodedata.encode('utf-8')' and then 'return encodeddata'04:16
SteveAof course, you can make it more succinct than that04:16
morgsSteveA, this would be in my ProductRdfView class, right04:16
SteveAmorgs: um, whereever you are currently setting the content type stuff04:17
SteveAi'm at an airport -- not very convenient to look it up just now04:17
morgsRight, yes. ATM I'm setting it in __init__ of that class, so I'll put it in __call__ instead...04:18
SteveAye04:18
SteveAyes04:18
morgsGreat, I'll give this a shot.04:18

salgadoJanC, I'm not 100% sure, but I think they're not yet automatically created in launchpad, so it's better to file the bug09:17
JanCa generic "missing packages" bug or for the specific package ?09:18

nakeeeAny idea when the rosetta bidi bug is going to be fixed?10:50
=== nakeee is having really hard time with it
bradbmpt: nice work on the bug icons! where can i see the milestone icon in action? it didn't seem to appear for either /distros/debian or /products/firefox11:01
mptbradb: object-portlet-milestones.pt was already expecting it11:02
mptIf you see anywhere else it should go, let me know11:02
mptMilestones were implemented in rather a hurry, so there doesn't appear to be sampledata for them, which made things a bit difficult11:03
bradbi believe there's sample data for firefox11:03

bradbmpt: i expected to see it here: http://localhost:8086/distros/debian and here: http://localhost:8086/products/firefox in the milestones portlet11:04
mptoo, that's odd11:05
bradbmpt: also, might you be able to make an icon to be shown in place of an input checkbox, which will mean "this distrorelease is already targetted for the fix"?11:05
mptah, a kludge in launchpad.css11:06
=== mpt removes it
=== bradb notes the beauty of sprint hacking, and how clicking on a milestone raises an exception. grrrr...
mptbradb: <input type="checkbox" disabled="true">11:13
bradbwe planned to use an icon in favour of that11:14
mptbradb: For me, http://localhost:8086/distros/debian gives "No milestones defined"11:14
bradbmpt: you have to add one (as foo bar) to see what it looks like11:14
mptbradb: I was going to say "Did you know checkboxes can be disabled", but y'all were discussing more important issues at the time11:14
bradbyeah, we thought it might be slightly confusing to show a disabled checkbox, as people might wonder why they aren't allowed to uncheck it11:15
bradbwhat do you think? is it confusing?11:15
mpta checkmark graphic is appropriate for something that wasn't turned on in the first place11:16
mptbut this thing here (a release target) was already turned on, so a disabled checkbox is entirely appropriate11:16
bradbok, i'll go with that instead, thanks11:16

bradbKinnison: how often does a package change name between releases? also, how often does it happen that something i used to find in package "foo" is now instead found in package "bar" in a new release?11:39
elmobradb: often enough11:42
elmoto be something you really have to deal with sooner or later; but relative to the number of packages in the distro, it's not a huge percentage11:42
elmoIANAKIJPOOI11:42
bradbhm. this would make the bug release targeting/backport UI somewhat more complex.11:42
mptbradb: The greatest thing about Malone is that it will mean I no longer have to put up with the text-shadow CSS on bugzilla.ubuntu.com11:43
bradbKinnison: a more soyuz-specific question then: will it/is it fairly straightforward to figure out what Hoary package "foo" was called in Warty?11:47
elmoit should be11:50
elmothe DB has been designed around that from the beginning, but I haven't seen it's current evolution11:50
elmo(sorry, I'll stop playing kinnison now)11:50
=== bradb is still trying to think about how to do with packaging changes between releases (i.e. a binary that used to be installed with package foo is now installed from package bar.) ugh, pain, agony.
elmoAFAICR, the DB has a higher level concept of a package than source or binaries in the archive11:52
elmoso you can always  refer back to that, at least internally11:52
elmoif that makes sense?11:52
bradbyeah, i know about the packaging table, but i'm not sure if it would be able to tell me that the binary program "foo" used to be installed with the binary package "blah-utils", but now it's part of the binary package "fnorb-scripts"11:55
bradbmaybe the best backporting/release targeting UI is a simple dropdown of release names and a package name widget (to avoid all this complexity.) thoughts? mpt?11:56
bradbthe package name widget could at least default to the package that the "current" task is targeting (i.e. you can only get to this targeting/backport screen from the bugtask screen anyway, so we can probably figure out a reasonable default package name to put in there.)11:57

Kinnisonbradb: You can't know about specific binary files anyway12:09
bradbKinnison: from the soyuz perspective then, is it at least easy to follow he same source package as it changes names between releases?12:11
bradbs/he/the/12:11
KinnisonWe certainly looked into that12:12
Kinnisonassuming we can find a sane way to cope with source package renames wrt. superseding I'm sure we'll be able to do something sane12:12
KinnisonThe publishing history retains what superseded what12:12
bradbif i can fairly easily figure that out, the checkbox UI for backporting/targeting can probably make sense, as long as I give the user the option to manually add a task on a completely different package for the release target, if for some reason that's required.12:13
