khermans_somerville32, i am right now :-)12:43
somerville32:)12:43
khermans_when you attach a file to a bug report, it uploads the file and then checks ot see if you added a description12:43
khermans_this sucks if you just spent 10 minutes uploading a crash report to see that you had "no description" :-(12:43
khermans_gotta send again...12:44
kikokhermans_, hard to fix that without fixing html forms in general...12:48
khermans_kiko, javascript can tell if the field is empty, right?12:48
khermans_that runs client side12:48
kikoyeah!12:49
khermans_kiko, is that not a valid solution?12:49

mptkiko-zzz, I don't know, I don't have access to the database03:44
mptbut my guess is03:44
kiko-zzzmpt, can you load the bug? 03:44
mptthat its description contains a core dump03:44
mptand text-to-html takes too long to convert this core dump to HTML03:44

mptand no I can't load the bug report03:45
kiko-zzzokay.03:45
kiko-zzzhey stub 03:45
mptyankees26, if you click on the "1.0 release" link you arrive at a page that says, among other things, "Date expected: 2007-01-01"03:46
mpthttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/products/nirvana/+milestone/1.0-release03:46
mptHave you seen that page before?03:46
yankees26thanks mpt i cant believe i didnt see that on the left03:47
yankees26:O, it even says it at the top of the browser03:47
yankees26excuse me while i go feel dumb.....03:47
mptyankees26, that's ok, people usually don't see the stuff in the little boxes03:48
yankees26heh03:48
mptOr I should say "often", not "usually"03:48
mptSame goes for <title> because of the way most Web browsers are designed03:49
yankees26heh, well know I have an actual html file that has a more detailed spec (worked on it while i waited here :P)03:49
yankees26http://fhatsoft.googlepages.com/1.0-spec.html03:50
yankees26sadly its on a googlepages thing (would run my own server but god damn optimum online doesnt allow servers :( )03:50
=== mpt wonders if googlepages is the new geocities
yankees26well its free03:51
yankees26100 MB of space03:51
yankees26upload space*03:51
yankees26but doesn't have any real html editing03:51
yankees26i probably could have used berlios or sf for nirvana though 03:52
yankees26oh well03:52
kiko-zzzyankees26, why is html editing a desireable thing?03:53
kiko-zzzI mean, isn't it easier to just edit locally and push changes?03:53
yankees26'cause the "html" and templates googlepages offers isn't very good03:53
yankees26IMO03:53
kiko-zzzoh they offer templates?03:54
kiko-zzzand you can't put your own templates/content?03:54
yankees26another annoying thing is that you could use your own html files and upload them, but its impossible to make one of htem your homepage03:54
yankees26kiko-zzz: no03:55
kiko-zzzthat is ridiculous03:55
yankees26but you can upload your own html files03:55
yankees26but you'd still have to have a googlepages one for your home page03:55
kiko-zzzbut not in the homepage?03:55
kiko-zzzgah03:55
yankees26i've even tried uploading an index.html and i still get googlepages homepage :p03:55
yankees26so basically, my base of operations for nirvana is what launchpad gives me and http://randomthinktank.wordpress.com/nirvana-package-manager/03:57
yankees26hm, berlios is looking promising to use as a website hoster and tarballs (of course i'll continue to use launchpad for malone and bazaar, etc.)04:00
kiko-zzzyankees26, cool to hear. we should offer web hosting at some point, though we're bottlenecked for developer time right now04:08
kiko-zzzyankees26, so what do you like about launchpad's malone and bazaar?04:08
=== jml [n=jml@ppp110-150.lns1.hba1.internode.on.net] has joined #launchpad
yankees26kiko-zzz: idk, i just like bzr a lot and malone looks better than the bug tracking provided by berlios and f04:09
yankees26sf*04:09
yankees26web-hosting would be a nice feature though :p, although I'd rather see less downtime between a bzr push and it actually being able to be pulled04:09
kiko-zzzyankees26, so we're working to increase the frequency at which we mirror04:09
kiko-zzzyankees26, how much is it nowadays?04:09
yankees26idk, i've usually done bzr push's at night04:10
yankees26and i dont check back till the next day04:10
yankees26maybe tomorrow, i'll do a bzr push and set a cron job or something for bzr pull and see how long it takes :p04:11
kiko-zzzI'd be interested in knowing04:11
yankees26ok04:11
yankees26i'll try getting that done tomorrow04:11
yankees26im just waiting to hear from a guy i know who uses berlios and ask a few questions04:13
yankees26then i'll have a nice berlios+launchpad combo going :D04:13

mc__what do you guys think about launchpad intergration with oter revison controll systems?02:48
mc__wouldn't it be great to have for instance svn/darcs support?02:49
yankees26cant "import" a svn or cvs branch?02:49
kikomc__, we do have some svn "support" in the form of code imports.02:49
kikomc__, there is a proposal for furthering svn support but there haven't been resources to throw at that lately02:49
mc__kiko: i do not use  cvs/svn,personally i would enjoy darcs support02:50
kikomc__, there has never been a single request for darcs importing!02:51
mc__kiko: till now :)02:51
kikoheh02:51
kikoit's unfortunate that imports are such complicated things02:51
mc__but why no "really" support for other rcs'es,i mean,i dont want my darcs rep to be imported into bazaar02:53
kikoit's hard to build a system that is all to everybody02:53
kikowe need to focus on the tools we have found to work best, and bzr is definitely the best RCS platform, in our evaluation 02:53
kikosupporting another RCS natively would be a gargantuan task, additionally02:54
kikoso it's not an easy decision for a limited-resource enterprise02:54
yankees26isnt there also the fact that bazaar is another canocial (spelt that wrong) project?02:55
kikoyankees26, well, we didn't, originally02:56
kikohave bazaar02:56
yankees26ah02:56
mc__yankees26: its sponsored by canonical02:56
kikothe idea was to use an existing RCS02:56
kikobut at the time the only "viable" distributed RCS was arch02:56
kikoand after a year or so of work on arch we found it utterly unworkable02:56
kikoand in shopping for alternatives found mpool and his prospect for a greater distributed RCS02:57
mc__kiko: is launchpad oss atm?02:57
kikoI believe from the bottom of my heart that bzr is the best platform available out there, but I am considering things from many perspectives, not just the binary/tool itself.02:58
mc__kiko: have you ever tried darcs?02:58
kikomc__, not yet. that's a long story! we operate as openly as we can, and we do want to release as OSS, but we're Not There Yet02:58
kikoyeah, back in the days02:58
kikomaybe a year and a bit ago02:58
mc__and you didnt like it?02:58
kikoI did, actually02:59
mc__whad advantages does bzr have to darcs? maybe ill try it again02:59
kikomc__, in a checklist sort of way I can't say because my experience with darcs is way more limited03:00
kikobut bzr is really easy to use. mpool's main desire was to make something that felt right, but without all the policy dictating that arch and git seem to love doing03:01
kikobzr's also an awesome community to work with; they have people 24/7 on #bzr, and help is easy to find03:01
kikothe tool is fast for our pretty large tree already, and performance has increased in leaps over the past months03:01
kikobzr do monthly releases, strictly, so it's easy to see the progress03:02
kikoand ultimately, bzr has a clear roadmap, community involvement and commitment by its leadership to be in for the long haul03:02
mc__but darcs does all you say as well,except for the performance thing,darcs is quite slow 03:03
kikomc__, which is a problem if we wanted to get  darcs used for the kernel or mozilla03:03
kikowhich is what we want bzr to be used for03:03
kikoand which we are very close to now03:03
kiko(after almost two years of hard work!)03:03
mc__kiko: you are a developer of launchpad/bzr?03:04
kikomc__, of launchpad. I'm just a bzr user03:04
kikobut I love it <wink>03:04
mc__kiko: you guys do great work!03:05
kikowow, thanks for saying that03:05

kikoyankees26, at least we keep trying harder!03:06
yankees26:P03:06
mc__kiko: i've got one last question,when do you think will launchpad be oss?03:07
mc__and what problems are keeping launchpad form beeing oss?03:07
kikoI personally think we still have a lot to improve before I think Launchpad is actually enough for me to call "good"03:07
kikobut it's a big system and there are lots of areas of goodness03:07
kikomc__, there are a few issues that block us there03:08
kikoone is that we'd hate fragmentation to happen, because there is a lot of value in having a single launchpad03:08
kikoand at this point I honestly think that there a risk of making the platform fail because of fragmentation03:09
kikothere's also the issue that a lot of launchpad is still really pre-alpha 03:09
kikoa lot of string and wire in parts03:09
kikoand running it requires an array of servers and admins03:09
kikothe setup documentation would require a lot of effort on our part03:10
kikoit's not a simple project, and we didn't really design it to be easily downloaded and installed by end-users (and that shows ;)03:10
mc__kiko: i think that would not keep new developers from joining03:11
kikoyeah, people have said that before03:11
yankees26launchpad uses plone right? (i cant remember)03:11
kikoit uses zope303:11
yankees26ah03:11
kikoit used to use some plone templates03:11
kikobut no longer03:11
mc__kiko: but i think you would need something like a plugin architecture03:11
kikothe OSSness point is the one point we are thinking about all the time03:12
kikoyeah03:12
kikomc__, it may be that a rich xmlrpc API may be enough for a start03:12
kikobut we're Not There Yet (heard that before?)03:12
mc__kiko: yes :)03:12
kikowhat day of the week is this anyway, and why am I still working?!03:13
mc__kiko: its saturday03:13

yankees26or every half hour?03:38

yankees26you ever used bzr register-branch? :P03:42
kikoyeah, I have03:46
yankees26kiko: whats the difference between bzr update and bzr pull?03:46
kikoyankees26, I think for branches they are the same thing03:47
kikoI think pull doesn't work for checkouts03:47
yankees26ah03:47
kikoI asked Martin the exact same thing a while back. we may see the commands consolidated a bit03:47
yankees26ah03:48
yankees26who is martin?03:48
kikomartin pool03:49
yankees26ok im giving up the testing, i just did a bzr branch on my linux machine and it was fully up to date, why is launchpad being fast today??03:49
kikoyankees26, it ate dessert yesterday and has more calories to burn now I guess03:50
yankees26ah03:50
yankees26ok this is odd03:50
yankees26i do bzr up and it says its up to date03:51
yankees26bzr pull takes down another revision03:51
yankees26obviously they dont do the same thing03:51
kikoyankees26, so bzr up probably doesn't work for branches. it's been a while since I've developed directly on branches03:55
