[12:06] I need a Launchpad guru... anyone? [12:07] always! [12:07] what's up troy_s [12:07] thank you! [12:07] First, is there a way to remove old polls, or botched polls? [12:08] Second, is there a way to adjust the calendar (the one for our team has a name attached to the top) [12:08] Third, is there a way to change the actual root of the team page as ours has two links that are rather redundant and seem fixed (despite looking in details etc) [12:10] troy_s, a) not without database admin, but there is probably a way to close them out. [12:10] b) I'm not sure; I'd need to see the page to understand. [12:10] c) same as b) [12:10] launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-art [12:11] wow [12:11] what is this crazy calendar thing. it is a bug! [12:11] laf. [12:11] well there you go. [12:12] can you please file it? I'd say "Team calendar's heading is name of apparently random person!" [12:12] I'm still unsure as to what ou mean by your point c).. ah, do you by any chance mean the wiki links? [12:13] its not random, it was our owner's name... but it appears stuck there. [12:13] okay [12:13] yes... the wiki links are set in stone. [12:13] "Team calendar's heading is name of owner" [12:13] or is the problem deeper than just the heading? [12:13] yeah, c) is also a bug. how very strange. === HiddenWolf [n=HiddenWo@136.115.dynamic.phpg.net] has joined #launchpad [12:15] So, I want to stop getting mail from a bug in malone on which I came subscribed due to a duplicate. [12:15] Now what do I do? [12:16] Can I unsubscribe from the original bug? [12:16] kik: How does one register a bug for launchpad itself? I see Ubuntu's distro related... but the site itself? [12:16] Hiddenwolf: yes... [12:17] Hiddenwolf: go to the bug on launchpad, it should be relatively self-explanatory. [12:20] troy_s, products/launchpad/+filebug [12:20] done [12:21] thanks kik [12:21] HiddenWolf, the problem is actually identifying the original bug, right? [12:21] i filed one for the calendar and one for the sticky stuff. [12:21] HiddenWolf, that's a bug bradb and I are thinking of how to fix properly [12:21] thanks troy_s much appreciated [12:21] kiko: I keep my mail, so I managed to find it, but yea, it's kinda counterintuitive to have to go back to the original bug. [12:21] Nice work on the system overall though. Quite impressive.

[11:31] Malone bug 36830 in launchpad-publisher "need Contents files to be generated" [Major,Confirmed] http://launchpad.net/bugs/36830 [11:32] you know.. we have tools depending on these files to be updated properly [11:32] fabbione: that would be a question for malcc, Kinnison and cprov [11:32] SteveA: well i am asking generally to everybody here... [11:34] gah... so it isn't a launchpad code thing perhaps [11:34] but something rather duct-tapey and fragile that only elmo knows about [11:35] SteveA: it is launchpad since we did switch to soyuz [11:35] i agree. i am observing that the solution may involve no additional launchpad code [11:35] but running existing dak tools in particular ways [11:36] maybe it is possible to get elmo and malcc in the same room together to work on this? [11:37] SteveA: I'm physically capable of being in the London office today, but I'm not sure they've got any space for me [11:37] SteveA: dunno.. contents file are part of a release imho. and they haven't been there for months [11:38] malcc: would you talk with elmo and kiko about this, when they are around? [11:39] SteveA: Yup, willdo [11:39] and also, please tell fabbione what is talked about [11:41] i don't really know what a Contents.gz file contains [11:42] so maybe it would be easier to generate it from the launchpad database than to use the dak tools. [11:44] SteveA: just check in archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/dapper/ [11:44] there are Contents file per archi [11:45] they show a list of all files contained in the different debs sorted in a special way [11:45] is there a written specification on these files? [11:45] or is it just "make it work with the tools"?

[03:30] ok [03:31] SteveA: So maybe we should send an email to "nobody" saying he should reregister under a different name within 30 days, because "nobody" will be reserved for system use? And meanwhile, I can implement this email command as though nobody is a reserved word... [03:32] bradb: that is a good proposal. please mail it to the launchpad list for further discussion [03:32] ok [03:33] bradb, you could also use a single hyphen or something like that [03:34] kiko: yeah, though i think that's a bit cruel [03:34] the advantage of using "nobody" is that it's consistent with the web UI [03:35] somewhat -- we display a hyphen normally, don't we? [03:35] (except in the radiobuttons) [03:38] for viewing, we display an m-dash on the bug page, yeah. for setting it's "Nobody" [03:38] either that, or we can assign mister "nobody" lots and lots of bugs [03:39] SteveA++, that'll teach him [03:39] SteveA, for now, people can reassign to kiko-bichodomato anyway [03:42] lifeless: In case you're awake, I've filed https://launchpad.net/products/bzr/+bug/47414, which is what stopped my fix for 44183/41414 merging.

[03:50] spiv: the current pqm patch is dummy cscvs change, to confirm that merging is still broken and it's not just my changes [03:50] no luck so far [03:50] it's definitely critical now, as all my outstanding branches are blocked on that [03:51] The cscvs tests pass in PQM when run as part of launchpad's check_merge. [03:51] So it's possibly a PQM misconfiguration with how it runs tests for cscvs merges? [03:51] Maybe the problem is something in the pqm config, I do not know. [03:51] Or maybe the cscvs makefile isn't setting paths right. [03:51] spiv: not a problem with the cscvs makefile [03:52] the failure happens in the bzr tests [03:52] [/home/pqm/archives/rocketfuel/cscvs/1.0/devel] [03:52] precommit_hook=make -C .. check [03:52] build_config=/home/pqm/archives/rocketfuel/dists/devel/configs/canonical.com/launchpad/development [03:52] when doing the baz-import tests [03:52] that is, commits to cscvs run 'make check' in sourcecode. [03:52] actually, now that you've unfucked things, we should make this run check_merge again. [03:52] done [03:53] lifeless: woo! [03:53] (as of the next time pqm reads its config file) [03:53] I've added a todo to do the same for buildbot etc [03:53] note that this is not the cause of the fault [03:53] okay, the dummy merge just failed [03:53] lifeless: No, but it's nice anyway :) [03:53] because spiv was committing to other sourcecode trees, and they have the same config [03:53] so they were all running 'make check' in sourcecode. [03:54] same problem, failures in baz-import tests [03:54] That config looks sane to me.

Wrong version of pybaz somehow, due to a PYTHONPATH problem? [03:56] I don't know why it didn't affect my merges to e.g. buildbot, though. [03:57] spiv: might be [03:57] the first error looks like something that would be caused by using a really old pybaz [03:58] then maybe all the other strange errors are fallout from that one [03:58] anyway, cscvs tests _must_ run the launchpad tests [03:59] as importd is part of launchpad and depends on cscvs [04:01] Yeah, it's good that cscvs merges will run a full check_merge now. [04:02] well, the same holds for bzr, bzrtools, pybaz and probably a number of other things [04:03] Right. === ddaa goes back at revamping the importd cvs tests [04:07] lifeless: ping [04:08] he's an ex-lifeless [04:10] rocketfuel-built does not have the correct sqlobject tree [04:10] although it seems stu has fixed it === bradoaks [n=chatzill@152.52.0.2] has joined #launchpad [04:22] lifeless: safe travels === Daemon [n=NA@220-253-83-81.QLD.netspace.net.au] has joined #launchpad [04:32] BjornT: hi, around?

[04:40] BjornT: for instance [04:40] SteveA: heh [04:40] SteveA, in the email UI?

[05:51] in theory no [05:51] I practice, I would have to read the code [05:51] in theory one can only make a branch owned by the authenticated user or a team it belongs to [05:52] ah, right, i meant it can make anyone the /author/ of that branch [05:52] oh yes [05:53] just like the web UI allows that [05:53] it's a feature to allow registering a branch on behalf of someone else [05:53] got it, thanks [05:53] and at least one user wants to keep that feature :) [05:54] (I wanted to remove that, but somebody explained to me he had a practical use of that feature) [05:59] ddaa: What do you suggest for testing an xmlrpc api? (Beyond the plain view tests.) [05:59] bradb: did you read the discussion I had with mpool on the launchpad@ mailing list? [06:00] yeah. i don't recall that mentioning specifics of how to do client testing. i know i can just write code, but i'm wondering if there's a simpler option. === ddaa checks the discussion [06:02] which category of test are you thinking of: strict server-side, or client-server integration? [06:04] ddaa: i want to have a full client test suite implementation. ideally something that smells like a doctest, so that it takes less work to make it human-readable. [06:05] When doing client-server integration, you would need to: setup the xmlrpc server (the test runner should do that), call the bzrlib API (the same that would be called by the CLI), and check that results are correct. [06:05] this is for Malone, not bzr, btw [06:05] about doctests, our quality czar do not like doctests very much, he thinks they tend to lead to inadequate test coverage. [06:06] and the test runner does not setup the xmlrpc server correctly, aiui. SteveA knows more about how we were going to set up our test suite to handle xmlrpc tests. [06:07] I think that until that's fixed, you are a bit stuck to do client-server integration [06:07] bradb: the test runner doesn't set up any servers [06:07] ddaa: when you wrote the branch stuff though, did you do any actual xmlrpc testing of it, or just ask the bzr guys if it actually worked when it was deployed? [06:07] it doesn't dispatch the way needed for xmlrpc [06:07] bradb: you're giving me way too much credit [06:08] or plan c, waited to see if they screamed :P [06:08] anyway, for testing the xmlrpc API [06:08] we shall do doctests of the API [06:08] I just asked mpool to get the feature out, let him and SteveA talk about test coverage issues [06:08] showing calls to it, and with explanations of what the calls mean in the documentation [06:08] if anything requires doctests, a public API does [06:09] writing code is about communication, so i think doctests are a very fine way to start [06:09] bradb: my schedule does not have room for going out of my way to check what other people are doing. I just ask for the stuff I need, and the stuff we can easily do that I think sabfl wants soon. [06:10] SteveA: yeah. what would be really useful to developers is if i could write python code to show how to script xmlrpc in python. that way even if they don't know how to do it, they need only read that doc and be on their way. right now, i have only a view doctest. [06:10] I leave it to SteveA and the reviewers to make sure that other people do their homework properly. [06:10] bradb: that's an interesting idea [06:10] (of course, if they don't use python, oh well) [06:11] bradb: i think it would require an alternative Server implementation [06:11] bradb: so, you'd have testxmlrpc.Server('whatever') [06:11] and this would be a natural way to test it [06:11] we could do that today, actually [06:11] BjornT: what do you think of this? [06:11] brad's had a cool idea === BjornT reads the backlog [06:20] what exactly are you proposing? would testxmlrpc.Server('whatever') use a special Transport to talk with the XMLRPC publisher? [06:22] perhaps. [06:22] testxmlrpc.Server would just work like xmlrpc.Server === AlinuxOS [n=AlinuxOS@d81-211-227-244.cust.tele2.it] has joined #launchpad [06:22] but run in process to our functional tests [06:23] BjornT: my goal, fwiw, is to write a human-readable doc containing xmlrpc client code that shows people how to talk to Malone via xmlrpc, so that even if the user doesn't know xmlrpc in python, this doc should be pretty much all they need. === carlos -> out will be back later tonight [06:25] bradb: could be that a script testing against staging would be better [06:25] perhaps, yeah [06:26] then it's probably best using xmlrpclib.ServerProxy and use a TestTransport or something like that. that would make it quite clear what's specific for the test. [06:26] i imagine i would test it on a local server, but then the public doc could use a staging url === auth00 [i=auth@evot.olf.sgsnet.se] has joined #launchpad === bradb & # lunch [06:45] bradb: why does malone still say that there's no security contact for Ubuntu packages, when there is ubuntu-security (and it's subscribed to security bugs)? === SteveA pings kiko for an instareview sometime [06:54] samaniego, portuol, heh :) [06:54] SteveA!

[07:48] kiko: +filebug [07:48] There is no security contact for ubiquity in ubuntu so no security contact will be subscribed to this bug. [07:48] on in the package +filebug page? [07:48] correct [07:48] it is both a) a lie, and b) implies the existence of per-package security contacts [07:48] bradb [07:49] ok, that'd be a bug [07:49] bradb, should be easy to pagetest too === tambaqui [n=tambaqui@200.231.107.64] has joined #launchpad [07:49] yer === bradb reports bug 47544 [07:54] Malone bug 47544 in malone "Malone reports that a package has no security contact...DUH!"
