Burgundaviais it possible to change me password to the svn repo?01:45
LaserJockBurgundavia: I was wondering that as well01:58
Burgundaviaevidentally not01:59
Burgundaviayou know, not having a phone is a major annoyance01:59
LaserJockI bet02:01
Burgundaviamy landlord is selling his house and Telus (the bastards) decided to cut off the phone three days ago02:02
LaserJockthat's not right02:06
Burgundaviathis is the same company that took 15 days to reconnect a phone after a move and is widely considered by largely evil and incompetent02:08
Burgundaviathey got investigated for having 2000 complaints to the CRTC (telecom watchdog) in a 4 month span02:09
Burgundaviaever seen the film "The Corporation", about how evil corporations are and must be? Telus goes beyond that02:10
LaserJocklol02:12
LaserJockwell, not really02:12

Madpilotcool, nice deal. Where, and do you need a hand moving sometime this week?04:59
BurgundaviaI need a hand next Sunday, if you are free05:00
MadpilotSundays work. 05:01
Burgundaviawhat about next Sat?05:01
MadpilotI'm free this coming Saturday too, I think05:01
Burgundaviaok, the 4th it is05:02
MadpilotMy shifts at Central keep getting swapped between Monday & Saturday, which is an irritation05:02
Burgundaviaugh05:02
BurgundaviaI love how much personal chatter goes on in this channel05:02
Madpilotlast weekend I had a three day weekend, but I worked Saturday & tomorrow...05:02
Burgundaviajsgotangco, how bad is the spam load to -doc?05:03
Madpilotwow, mdke must have spent the entire weekend bughunting & doing docteam-svn commits...05:03
jsgotangconot that much05:03
jsgotangcoaround 30+ a day05:03
Burgundavia-users is about twice that05:04

LaserJockBurgundavia: did you figure out the svn password thing? I would imagine elmo would have to be the one to change it05:32
=== mpt_ [n=mpt@222-154-180-87.jetstream.xtra.co.nz] has joined #ubuntu-doc
BurgundaviaLaserJock, nah, I am not going to worry about it05:34
bhuvanLaserJock, why would you want to change the password ?05:35
LaserJockbhuvan: it's hard to remeber?05:38
LaserJockremember05:38
bhuvanLaserJock, true. but, it is depend on svn client you use. what's your svn client ?06:21
=== Burgundavia just realized he is 200 commits behind in his local repo
Madpilotthat'll be a lengthy run of svn up...06:26
=== mpt_ [n=mpt@222-154-152-248.jetstream.xtra.co.nz] has joined #ubuntu-doc
LaserJockbhuvan: client? svn06:38
bhuvanLaserJock, if so it will remember for you, isnt it ?06:40
LaserJockright, but if I need to check it out again somwhere else I have to dig up the email that has the password. Not a problem but it does bring up the lack of control we have with the repo06:40
bhuvanyou are correct. but, to checkout we dont require our password. to commit, yes.06:41
bhuvanLaserJock, yep, you are trying to address different problem anyway!06:42
LaserJockyeah, Burgundavia just asked and I was just wondering too06:42
bhuvanbshumate, ping06:44
mpt_mdke or anyone, how do I stop getting mail about ubuntu-docs bugs?06:45
mpt_I'm not sure why I'm getting them06:45
LaserJockmpt_: probably because you are a member of the docteam LP team?06:46
LaserJockis the building of the html for doc.ubuntu.com from the svn repo automatic (like cron job)?07:02
bhuvanLaserJock, yes07:02
LaserJockdo you know what time it does it?07:02
bhuvanLaserJock, i know it is done every day. but not sure about the time07:03

robotgeekLaserJock: hey07:45
robotgeekwow, my first useful email to the list needs moderation :)07:47
LaserJockhi robotgeek 07:49
LaserJockreally?07:49
robotgeeki apparently sent a too large an email07:49
LaserJockoops07:49
robotgeeki sent 5 patches in one email07:49
jeffschLaserJock: pong07:50
robotgeekjeffsch: i saw your email regarding kde documentation, feel free to move it to en07:50
LaserJockjeffsch: I was looking at your email as well07:51
jeffsch:)07:51
LaserJockjeffsch: I was wondering what packaging you were needing? just somebody to try to package a fresh checkout?07:51
jeffschit needs to be put into a .deb and registered with scrollkeeper and tested to see what else (if anything) needs to be done to get it to work07:52
LaserJockhmm, I'm not familiar enough with the packaging to do that very fast (I gotta get to bed soon).07:56
jeffschme too, and I won't have time until friday07:58
jeffschtuesday at the earliest07:58
LaserJockwell, I can take a look in the morning and/or I can get dholbach to take a look07:59
jeffschthat would be nice :)08:00
jeffschthe more eyes the better08:00
crimsunwhich mailing list?08:00
LaserJock-doc08:00
=== crimsun has a feeling he's not subscribed
robotgeekhowdy crimsun 08:01
LaserJockcrimsun: oh, then you missed out on the mdke bug spamathon ;-)08:01
jsgotangcolet me fix that08:01
robotgeeki got the most emails i've gotten in a day08:01
robotgeeki also subscribed to the commits list :)08:01
crimsunoh trust me, that still doesn't top when I was subbed to lkml, bugtraq, and debian-devel08:02
crimsunpoor mailhost exploded08:02
LaserJockouch08:02
jsgotangcoyeah08:02
robotgeekmy mail host is gmail :)08:03
LaserJockhmm, I also need to ask dholbach about the debian/copyright file08:03
jsgotangcoyou can ask enrico as well when he's around and not busy08:04
jsgotangcohe's whitelisted anyways08:04
crimsunI get about 200 per day now, which is fairly manageable08:04
jsgotangcoi only read what interests me08:05
LaserJockthat's about what I get I think. Over Christmas I was at my in-laws and parent and both had 28.8 dialup. It was painful to read mail08:05
mptpainful to *read* it, or to download it?08:33
mdkempt, they go to the mailing list08:49
mptmdke, so leaving the Launchpad ubuntu-doc team wouldn't help?08:50
mptrats08:50
mptI'll set up a filter then :-)08:50
mdkempt, we might want to consider a separate list I guess08:50
jsgotangcolet's just forward all bugs to mdke :D08:51
mptor just badger BjornT into implementing ProductSubscriptions08:51
mptand ProjectSubscriptions08:52
jsgotangcooh he's been doing it?08:52
mptno, that's the problem :-)08:52
mdkejeffsch, debian/install is the only file that needs to be changed for testing "en". just replace C with en08:58
mdke(for those guides where you have implemented en)08:58
mdkethen to build, just do "debuild" in the trunk directory (with devscripts installed)08:59
robotgeekhey mdke 08:59
mdkemornin08:59
mdkejust going for a shower08:59
robotgeeki got an email about some "size too big" should i resend individually?09:00
jsgotangcosorry if i'm ignoring list queues or patches; i'm currently moving data from brisbane to LA :/09:00
robotgeekjsgotangco: hmm, okay. i'll assume that i don't need to resend my email then :)09:01
jsgotangcoif its too big, then you'll have to resend it09:01
robotgeekIs being held until the list moderator can review it for approval.09:01
jsgotangcooh09:01
robotgeekanyways, i'll just resend it09:01
jsgotangcohold on09:01
jsgotangcolet me check first09:01
robotgeekokay09:01
jsgotangcohow big are the attachments?09:02
jsgotangcothere's nothing on queue09:02
jsgotangcoi've already approved your last email09:02
jsgotangcothe one with 4 or 5 patches09:02
robotgeekyeah, that one. cool09:02
robotgeeki signed the files, is that going to affect anything?09:05
robotgeekcause i don't see the attachments on the mailing list09:06
mdkempt, actually ideally I suppose the first email for a bug would go to the list, then none of the subsequent ones09:08
mdkerobotgeek, i see them09:09
mdke5 attachments09:09
robotgeekmdke: cool09:10
robotgeekalrite then, i'm off to bed :)09:10

mdkeit's the license that counts01:22
mdkebut yeah, more or less the same thing01:22
bhuvanok. i also prefer to remove robert stoffers from the list as havnt contributed to server guide01:23
mdkedidn't he contribute to the sections which were taken from the faqguide?01:24
bhuvanno idea. if he have contributed to faqguide, sure i must retain then01:24
mdkethe faqguide was largely his work01:25
bhuvancool01:25
bhuvanfine, as i joined after breezy i am unaware. i'll retain, thanks01:25
mdkenp, nice work on adding more sections btw01:26
bhuvanok, imo i have almost covered all possible sections01:27
bhuvanwe have covered atleast 80% i guess01:27
bhuvanlooking forward for contributions on "help wanted" sections01:28
bhuvanbtw, as someone suggested during a ccm, i have planned to request fabbione to have a look and get his valuable feedbacks/corrections/additions if any01:28
mdkeexcellent idea01:30
