jameshl0fty: e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/python2.5/+bugs07:57
_thumper_:)07:57
_thumper_poolie: no worries, spent the day catching up on work emails and reading meeting notes07:57
jameshl0fty: you can enter a search term there and it will only search for bugs on that package.07:57
poolie_thumper_: only wed-fri, but travelling tomorrow07:58
_thumper_poolie: ok, should be fun07:58
pooliel0fty: for future reference you can file bugs at https://bugs.launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bugs07:59
pooliebut asking here may be best07:59
jameshl0fty: iirc there is a spec for adding boogle-style searching to Launchpad08:00
jameshwhich might allow you to do searches like "package:tzdata foo"08:00
jameshbut that hasn't been implemented yet08:00
l0ftyI just tried to find the page for 'listen' and it's either not a full ubuntu package (unlikely as I'm running it) or else the search engine isn't picking it up.08:01
l0ftyI did a search for 'packages containing listen'08:02
l0ftyJust saying there should be a simple, obvious way to go straight to the page for a given package, and there isn't one AFAICS08:03
jameshl0fty: weird.  I wonder why it didn't find that package.08:05
jameshhttps://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/listen <- it is definitely in LP08:05
l0ftymaybe the package doesn't have 'listen' in the description?08:05
jameshmaybe08:06
jameshbut I'd expect the search to match package names ...08:06
l0ftydon't know. Thanks for your help - I found the page anyway.08:08
BjornT_jamesh, l0fty: the script that updates the cache that the search uses is broken, so that's probably why the package wasn't found.08:16

lifeless * reviewers to discuss ideas and principles for keeping branch review quick (was on LP meeting agenda)11:03
lifeless * lifeless on leave11:03
lifelesshttps://devpad.canonical.com/~jamesh/pending-reviews/ is the queue11:04
lifelessas usual :)11:04
lifelessits better than it was, but the oldest branches aren't moving11:05
lifelessBjornT_: david/cscvs/svn-peg-revision ?11:05
lifelessjamesh: flacoste/launchpad/tt-localized-requests-notifications?11:05
jameshI think the three pyrex ones are the same as what spiv just reviewed11:05
jameshlifeless: sent a review off a little while ago11:05
lifelessyah, I'm ignoring those11:06
lifelessand the one of kikos, that hes explained about on list11:06
jameshlooks like it is coming under control11:06
BjornT_lifeless: right, i should sort that one out. it probably shouldn't be in needs-review. i'll talk to ddaa about it after the meeting.11:06
lifelessBjornT_: thanks11:07
lifelessKeeping Branch review quick.11:07
jameshrelated to that, BjornT mentioned getting pending-reviews to do incremental diffs11:09
lifelessyes11:10
lifelessthis is a feature I have requested from launchpads review system11:10
jameshdoes the algorithm I posted on that bug sound correct to you?11:11
lifelessI think doing it by hand is reasonable for now 11:11
lifelessBjornT: Have you encountered interdiff ?11:11
lifelessjamesh: Haven't seen it. Bug # ?11:11
jameshhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/products/launchpad-development-infrastructure/+bug/7401111:11
UbugtuMalone bug 74011 in launchpad-development-infrastructure "Allow saying against which branch a diff should be produced from" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  11:11
lifelessjamesh: ahr, different things11:11
BjornTlifeless: what's interdiff?11:11
lifelessBjornT: its a tool for seeing the diff between two diffs11:11
lifelessBjornT: so you can see what has changed from one 'pending merge' diff to another11:12
lifelessthis lets you see that when Fred says "Ive added docstrings", you can see what they are 11:12
jameshlifeless: the algorithm I mentioned isn't just picking a different rocketfuel branch11:12
lifelessjamesh: lets call diffing against specific branches, diffing against non-trunk, or something ?11:13
BjornTlifeless: ah. that could be useful. usually i get the branch and produce the diff using bzr instead.11:13
jameshlifeless: I think we still want to get a diff in terms of the trunk, but between the results of two merges to the trunk11:13
lifelessjamesh: yes, your algorithm looks correct.11:14
lifelessjamesh: might be optimisable11:14
jameshlifeless: I think you need to involve the trunk for the way people develop -- otherwise you pick up unrelated changes related to merges from rocketfuel11:14
jameshwhich the reviewer doesn't care about11:15
=== Keybuk [n=scott@syndicate.netsplit.com] has joined #launchpad
lifelessjamesh: sure, but you could merge trunk -> B, commit, merge A-> that dir, diff, uncommit11:15
lifelessor variations11:15
lifelessso, this is something I've been meaning to discuss.11:16
lifelessI suggest that when you do a review, you save the diff that you reviewed, locally.11:16
lifelessthen when you do a follow up review, you save the new diff, and use interdiff between them11:16
lifelesstell me how that works, whether its easy to work with or not -> this will be input into _thumper_s work on reviews-in-launchpad11:16
jameshwould it be helpful if the pending-reviews script included any more metadata at the top of the diff?11:17
jamesh(e.g. branch names plus revision numbers?)11:17
lifelessyeah11:17
BjornTyeah, that would help.11:17
lifelessbranch: foo\nrevno: X\n11:17
jameshyou'll notice that the conflicts list is at the top of the diff these days11:18
jameshrather than a separate file11:18
lifelessso what can we do to make it easier to work on smaller bits of code11:18
lifelessis it a knack thing, or is it tech ?11:18
lifelessI think its largely a knack, and some discipline11:19
UbugtuNew bug: #74364 in malone "Shouldn't have URLs containing "malone"" [Undecided,Unconfirmed]  http://launchpad.net/bugs/7436411:20
lifeless...11:20
BjornTyeah, it's mostly that people need to learn to break down their work into smaller pieces11:20
jameshif we improve service for small patches, hopefully that'll encourage people to give us smaller patches ...11:21
BjornTbefore someone starts to work on a large feature, there should be some discussion about how to divide the implementation into smaller steps11:22
lifelesswe have the idea of pre-implementation calls11:22
lifelessis that actually happening?11:22
BjornTi don't think there have been many calls lately11:23
lifelessI have a suggestion11:23
lifelesswe have a work in progress status11:23
lifelesscan we offer each branch a preimp call ?11:23
lifelessin a proactive, non-compulsory manner11:23
lifelessas in 11:24
lifelessjamesh: I note you've started on jamesh/launchpad/url-utils11:24
lifelesshave you had a chance to talk the implementation over with someone ?11:24
jameshlifeless: it is based on conversations with SteveA -- I plan to put it up for review soon11:24
jameshI am not sure how best to break it up into smaller chunks11:25
lifelessexcellent, sounds like I dont have anything to offer here, I look forward to reviewing it!11:25
lifelesssorry, was roleplaying :)11:25
lifelessmy point is for us to go out to the developers11:25
lifelessrather than waiting. If its primarily a skill thing - learning how to tell when something is getting bulky and needs to be staged11:26
lifelessthen the folk with that skill are the best ones to judge when its needed11:26
jameshyeah.  I'd like to get it through review so that the code can be used in other interesting areas11:26
jamesh(I wouldn't want to do that in the existing branch)11:27
lifelesswhat do you think of this idea ?11:27
BjornTlifeless: what exactly are you proposing?11:27
lifelessBjornT: Ah the details.11:28
jamesh(I wonder how many of the WIP branches have been forgotten)11:28
lifelessuhm, I guess...11:28
lifelessany wip branch over 1000 should get a phone-call/irc discussion offer from a reviewer11:28
lifelessand then be marked as having had that offer made11:29
jameshthat sounds like a good idea11:29
=== jamesh sees a 10000 line WIP branch
BjornTyeah, that'd be good.11:29
lifelessok. Do we need someone to coordinate? Or can we just start reporting on it weekly ?11:30
BjornTbut we should also try to encourage people to have that discussion before starting to implement the feature.11:30
lifelessBjornT: I agree, but that does not seem to be happening much.11:30
lifelessand I think the reason it does not is that things seem simpler than they are when you start.11:30
BjornTmaybe we should try to improve our spec process, and require an implementation part that outlines how it should be done. then a reviewer could judge whether it sounds reasonable, or if it's likely to become a big patch.11:32
lifelessI thought we had that :)11:32
BjornTwell, we should have it, but if you look at most of our specs, then they're incomplete...11:33
jamesh1000 lines seems like a rough estimate of when a branch becomes complex11:33
jameshdo we want to still have such a discussion with the developer if they did a pre-implementation call before starting?11:33
lifelessLets start with something simple. I'll whip up a pending-reviews patch to show a * on branches which have had an offer or a call11:33
=== jamesh would love to see this handled within LP
lifelessand then we can all start having an eyeball once a day, when we look for our reviews to do, for ones that dont have a *, and are > 1000 lines11:34
lifelessjamesh: agreed.11:34
lifelessjamesh: I dont think so [more discussion] , but being involved is always good, so could go either way11:34
BjornTi think we want to have such calls even if there were a pre-implementation call. if the patch gets too large, it could be a sign that the pre-implemtation call didn't cover everything.11:35
lifelessmmm11:36
lifelessI'm much more comfortable with a branch that has had reasonable discussions with a reviewer going > 1000 lines, than one that has not11:36
lifelesslets see how it goes, and tune it ?11:37
lifelessI have one more agenda item, but I think we should leave this item on the agenda, as a recurring one, for a bit11:37
lifelessthis has been good discussion so far, and we have more to have I think.11:37
lifelessok ?11:38
jameshokay11:38
BjornTyeah, that's true. still, it could be that at first, things looked easy, but then when starting to implement it, it turned out that some other changes were needed as well.11:38
danilosmy mails are not ending up on launchpad list, and I am not getting any notice either (like it's stuck in moderation, or that delivery has failed, or whatever); anyone knows what's going on?11:38
jameshdanilos: iirc, you should get an email notification if that happens11:38
jameshdanilos: you sure the messages aren't caught in your MTA's queue?11:38
lifelessok, last agenda item11:39
lifeless * lifeless on leave11:39
lifelessI'm on leave for the last 3 weeks of december11:39
danilosjamesh: no, they are not stuck; I'll investigate a bit more, thanks (and sorry for interrupting the meeting)11:39
lifelessI need a volunteer to do the pending-reviews daily allocation, and either chair, or find a chair weekly, this meeting, until jan 1st11:39
BjornTi'll be on leave the last two weeks of december, so i could do it only the first week.11:40
jameshI'm on leave 22nd - 5th11:41
lifelesshow about this, BjornT - if you can start, and you find a replacement before you go on leave :).11:41
lifelessit can be a hot potato11:41

lifelessI'm still here this week.11:43
=== BjornT -> lunch
jameshlifeless: I was thinking about your idea for bug 74011, I suppose the idea of merge one branch, commit, merge the other has the benefit of not giving a reverse diff for fixes made on the base branch11:49

RichiHkiko: pong04:42
kikoRichiH, you were asking?04:42
RichiHkiko: yes04:42
RichiHkiko: basically, we want to use rosetta to translate the website of freenode04:42
kikoI see.04:43
RichiHkiko: i am not sure if hte licence our content is under is OK for you guys, though04:43
kikoI think there should be no problem in doing that, actually -- as long as you are okay with the translations potentially being reused in other projects.04:43
RichiHkiko: under the same licence it is under, i presume?04:44
RichiHor do we have to dual something more open as well?04:44
danilosRichiH: we'll be asking all translation contributors to submit their translations under BSD (or BSD-like) license real-soon-now04:45
danilosRichiH: and we're assuming something like that already, even though we didn't make it explicit04:46
kikoRichiH, AFAIK the license of the translations doesn't really depend or impinge on the license of the original text04:46
danilosRichiH: as for original content, we don't have any requirements set04:46
danilosRichiH: and having all translators submit translations under BSD means you'll also be able to use them on your website, regardless of the license04:47
RichiHyah04:47
RichiHsounds good to me, i will get a nod from our side and then register a project04:47
RichiHi need to come back to you guys to start a new project, correct?04:48
danilosRichiH: no, you can do that all on your own, afaik04:49

kiko-afkRichiH, most welcome. let me know how your work progresses -- I am unsure if there's any negotiation that needs to happen, or if it's just DO IT06:56
RichiHkiko: as soon as i have the raw files, i will extract the text, put it in whatever format you guys need and upload06:56
kiko-afkRichiH, we use po-format. the same as everybody else (well, almost). consult with danilos if you need technical help there, he's the ninja06:56
RichiHkiko-afk: kbabel uses po, nay?06:56
RichiHi am sure i can figure it out anyway06:56
