jblackstevea: http://www.bazaar-ng.org/demo/bzrdemo-2005-08-12-2.tar.gz12:21
mptwoohoo12:30
SteveAjblack: darn, back up to 20MB12:42
jblackYeap.12:42
jblackmost of it is the full bzr branch12:42
SteveAhmm... we need to choose a smaller codebase 12:43
jblackwithout the bzr history for bzr, it would be a bit smaller. 12:43
SteveAwith a weave... ;-)12:43
jblackstevea: No. as in "bzr.dev" is about 18 megs12:43
SteveAoh, right12:43
jblackI put in a bzr with the full history so that people can pull a newer bzr. 12:44
SteveAso, bzr with history would be about 10MB in a .tar.gz12:44
jblackunpacked, the trees work out to:12:45
SteveAi think i won't mail the python guys about the demo just now.  can you co-ordinate with martin next week about a demo?12:45
jblackbzr.dev: 31 megs, Python-Tools: 2.2, 3.1, 3.2 megs12:45
jblackthats unpacked.12:46
SteveAhmm12:46
SteveAso, it would work out okay with just the bzr tool12:46
SteveAand not its history12:46
SteveAand instructions on how to get hold of a bzr source tree12:47
SteveAfor intrested hackers12:47
jblackIt would be a bit smaller, yes. About 6-8 megs of gzip for the bzr portion12:47
SteveAi'll take a look in a sec12:47
SteveAalmost downloaded12:47
jblackHowever, if they want to get a more current bzr that's in bzr, they'll be taking 1-4 hours to get a bzr that is pullable12:47
SteveAi get unfriendly errors whenever i do something bad12:48
jblackin bzr? yeah12:49
SteveAi think i'll leave it for you to talk with martin and put together a nice demo12:49
SteveAi don't want IndexError on typos to leave a poor impression12:49
jblackIn my personal opionion, bzr really isn't ready to show yet. 12:49
SteveAthanks for helping put this together12:49
SteveAi have a mail i'm about to send, explaining how we use baz 1.x with launchpad development12:49
jblackIts still missing the core parts, as I mentioned a few days ago, and its not optimized to do the remote stuff, and have small filesizes. 12:49
jblackFor example, if there's a practical way to diff two branches, I haven't found it yet12:50

bob2jblack: same old, same old06:31
bob2jblack: what've you been up to?06:33
jblackMostly work, but a few interesting things.06:34
jblackYesterday I had the fire department over. :) 06:34
bob2for tea?06:34
bob2or a fire?06:34
jblackIronically, for a fire extinguisher. :) 06:34
jblackMy daughter had been acting up for the last month or so, blowing me off seven or eight times for just about anything I asked.06:35
jblackSo I decided to show her that just as quickly as I give something, I can give it away.06:35
jblackI took one of her gameboy games, stuck it on potted soil, doused it in rubbing alcohol, and lit it.06:36
jblackGot a really cute 6" red flame that eventually turned a bit blue.06:36
jblackWell, anyways, I had 3 old extinguishers that had been around the house for a few years, and finally decided to test it against this massive 6" flame on the back porch.06:36
jblackSo I pulled the trigger on the little fire extinguisher, and my entire courtyard filled up with this awful smelling yellow smoke. 06:37
jblackbig yellow cloud about 50 feet in radius, on a still day.06:38
bob2wow06:38
jblackthe neighbors, mistaking a big huge cloud of smelly yellow fire retardant for fire smoke, called the fire department.06:38
jblackSo they showed up for the first anti-fire in history06:39
bob2haha06:40
bob2see, that's far more exciting than my week06:40
jblackOh, that was just yesterday. The rest of the week was just as surreal06:41
jblackIf I could go back, I'd wear a helmet with a video cam on it06:41
jblackFor example, imagine how it looks driving across town with a 5' tall, 575 pound safe, in a subaru station wagon. :) 06:42
bob2wtf06:43
bob2you staged a bank robbery?06:43
jblackNah. Long story. 06:43
jblackThat's really the higher point of that story, if you exlucde the comedy of watching a husband, a friend and an ex-wife trying to get a 5' tall, 575 pound safe up 5 steps and through a door that it doesn't fit through.06:44
bob2hahaha06:45
bob2it took me and 2 friends just to move my desk to my new place06:45
bob2if I'd had a safe I think I would have just bulldozed part of the house06:45
jblackAs it turns out, you can either spend $360 on a sentry safe that looks secure, except it only resists breakin for 5 minutes (FIVE! And thats with common tools like sledge hammers and prybars), or you can spend $600 on a 5' tall gun safe that's only been broken into once (by rolling a tractor over it repeatedly)06:46
bob2okiedokie06:46
jblack(not this particular safe mind you, any of these safes, ever)06:47
jblackYou got a new place? Cool!06:47
bob2yeah06:50
bob2it's quite cool, especially given it snowed the other day ;p06:51
jblackDid you leave australia? 06:51
bob2no06:51
jblackI didn't know it snowed anywhere in australia06:51
spivHe's still in Canbrrrrr.06:51
bob2it only snows every few years06:52
bob2and not much06:52
bob2but nonetheless06:52

j^hi, i added NetworkManager to launchpad the other day, https://launchpad.net/products/network-manger and was wondering how to get it beond the Testing sync state.01:39

ddaaj^: you're on the right track03:01
j^ddaa ware you planing to restructure the process of adding products to launchpad?03:04
ddaaNot right now. What are you suggesting?03:04
j^right now one has to go back to add Release Root Directory URL, Release Filename Patern03:04
ddaaOh right.03:05
ddaaThat sucks.03:05
j^its missing in the first mask to create a branch03:05
j^the other thing is that branch and series is mixed up all over the place03:05
ddaaYup, I even believe there's a bug in malone about that.03:05
j^ah, ok03:06
ddaaNot sure when we'll come around to fixing that though. I do have more pressing functional problems to fix right now.03:06
j^i could not name the product NetworkManager03:07
ddaabut we are aware of those problems03:07
j^so i named it network-manager03:07
ddaaright, there's also a bug about the surprising behaviour there, we accept only lowercase names. Naming it network-manager was the right thing to do.03:08
ddaa(except for the typo, that I have just fixed, you called it "network-manger"03:08
j^yup, fixed that03:09
ddaaj^: so far, the code does the job and people use it essentially right. We are aware that some things are frustrating, but things that do not _actually_ work right take priority.03:09
ddaaI know that must be a disappointing answer.03:10
ddaaYou can try nagging morgs about that. He did a pretty good job of fixing web UI nits for the past months, and maybe he's a bit less overloaded than I.03:10
ddaa(though technically, those problems are now mine)03:10
j^its not a big issue for me, just thought i bring it up.03:11
ddaaj^: one thing03:12
ddaa"main" and 0.4 should be different series03:12
j^0.4 is main right now though03:13
j^so you suggest to change the display name from MAIN to 0.4 Development Series03:14
ddaaWhen looking at the CVS, it appears that it only contains a branch for 0.303:14
ddaathat means that 0.4 series are (likely) release from MAIn03:14
ddaatherefore 0.4 _is_ the main series03:15
j^0.3 was branched since it uses old versions of dbus and hal03:15
ddaaI'm suggesting one of two things03:15
ddaa1. fix the name, summary, ftp glob, etc. to match MAIN03:16
ddaa2. fix the display name to mention 0.4 and create a proper MAIN series to import the CVS MAIN into03:16
ddaa(the 2 might require some hoops since I believe we might have a constraint that requires the presence of a "main" series now)03:17
ddaaNot that it matters a lot.03:17
ddaaI'll do it.03:18
j^hm, so i would take out 0.4 all out for now, since its more main, which happens to be work on 0.4 right now03:18
ddaaIn the current context, that would make more sense.03:19
ddaaYou know about HCT?03:19
j^no, whats HCT?03:19
=== j^ looks up https://wiki.launchpad.canonical.com/LaunchpadGlossary
ddaaThat's going to be a version control system designed specifically for distro packages.03:22
ddaaThe whole release and series stuff is about providing data for HCT.03:23
ddaa(well, mostly, it's also used for other things, like translations)03:23
j^sounds good03:23
j^are you still changing things right now?, otherwise i would rename 0.4 to 0.3 and track that branch and use main for cvs MAIN03:24
ddaaYup. I'm taking care of it03:28
ddaaHave a coffee, I'll tell you when the import is done or if there is a problem.03:28
j^cool, and thanks again.03:28
ddaaj^: one question03:30
ddaaNetworkManager-0.4.cvs20050506.tar.gz03:30
ddaais that _really_ a release???03:30
ddaabah... as long at it's not matching a bunch of daily cvs snapshots, that's okay.03:31
j^well, its a cvs snapshot03:31
=== Keybuk [n=scott@syndicate.netsplit.com] has joined #launchpad
j^but there are no daily cvs snapshots03:31
ddaaKeybuk: I'm about to explain some things about the release and tarballs model and how it relates to HCT03:32
ddaaKeybuk: please correct me if I say something wrong03:32
ddaaj^: Keybuk is the the HCT guy.03:32
j^but dan(main developer, working for redhat) is not that good with putting up proper releases. afaik the ubuntu package will use cvs of some point03:32
j^thats what it does right now03:33
ddaaThe basic model is that: we import the CVS mainline, then we import the release tarballs and try to attach them to the imported CVS history, that's meant to capture the changes between the CVS and the released tarballs, there are generally some. Then we import the packages and we attached them to release tarballs when present.03:34
ddaaSo we get a complete RCS ancestry between upstream version control and distro packages.03:35
ddaa(which allows for whatever nifty merge features are provided by the RCS tool)03:35
ddaaRegistering CVS snapshots there probably counts as noise, and might confuse that system.03:36
ddaaKeybuk: correct?03:36
ddaaThe whole thing _can_ work without release tarballs, it should degrade gracefully.03:37
=== ddaa ponders
ddaaI think I'll keep your ftp data. Seems like the right thing to do after all.03:39
j^so it should also be ok to have upstream in cvs, have an arch branch for the distro package managed via launchpad;03:39
ddaaRight. I do not think we are quite there yet, but not far.03:41
ddaaIf the upstream is not making releases at all, that would be the right thing to do.03:41
ddaa775 revisions on MAIN, it's going to take a little while03:42
