lotusleafBurgundavia: I noticed the directory and all images are now gone for the ubuntu roughcut design Madpilot made.05:40
lotusleafBurgundavia: I made a thread about this which linked to the directory which is now missing. Should I edit my post in the UF to remove links to avoid dozens of incoming 404'ers?05:40

MadpilotAnyone know why my posted have vanished from the MT's archive?05:49
Madpilotposters, rather05:49
Madpilotnixternal, ping - you seem to have the bzr-fu - what's up w/ the archive?05:53
lotusleafMadpilot: I just asked Burgundavia about this05:55
lotusleafMadpilot: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-marketing/2006-November/001196.html05:55
lotusleafI'm hoping they return, as it kinda makes my thread look dumb =)05:55
lotusleafMadpilot: but Burgundavia hasn't responded to my query in this channel yet05:56
Madpilotlotusleaf, no, that issue was fixed; nixternal got them up properly into the bzr archive05:56
lotusleafMadpilot: oh?05:56
Madpilotwhich means they should not have vanished, yet they have05:56
lotusleafMadpilot: well then, where are they? :(05:56
lotusleafhrmm..05:56
lotusleafwell I'm glad you showed up =)05:56
lotusleafhopefully you can get this solved? :)05:57
Madpilotthe system seems to have eaten them, and I know zip about bzr - except that it seems harder to use than svn :|05:57
lotusleafMadpilot: can you buddy up with someone who does know about it to see it through?05:57
lotusleafor is everyone asleep? :) :)05:58
Madpilotthat's why I've been pining nixternal05:58

Madpilotlotusleaf, I just added the URL of a temp. source for the posters to that link, via ubuntu-ca.org, which I run06:04
lotusleafMadpilot: awesome, thanks. I saw that in the mailing list but didn't know whether or not to add it06:04
Madpilothopefully it won't crash the ubuntu-ca.org server ;)06:04
lotusleafMadpilot: ha!06:05

lotusleafMadpilot: thx06:05
Madpilottonyyarusso, you too, if you want to mirror it. The stuff is PD, after all06:06
lotusleafMadpilot: have you thought about using gpg to make a detatched sig for them?06:06
lotusleafMadpilot: or some checksums?06:07
lotusleafsure, they're PD but it would be cool to identify the original06:07
lotusleaf;)06:07
