LaibschDoes he ever hang around her?12:23
mdkeanswers/hours12:23
LaibschOK12:23
LaibschNext question.  Is it a design decision that Malone cannot define a dependency tree for bugs?  It is quite handy to know that first bug A has to be fixed before bug B can be dealt with.12:23
=== tokj [n=tokj@151.82.8.254] has joined #launchpad
LaibschOr can I enter an RFE?12:24
mdkeinteresting suggestion. I would guess it's simply not a feature that has been implemented, rather than a design decision12:24
mdkeyou can look for a bug about that, or mail the list12:25
mdkegenerally the weekends are quiet around here12:25
Laibschmdke: Thanks for handing around, then. ;-)12:29
LaibschI searched the bug list and after I did not find anything about that, I filed bug 9541912:30

LarstiQiirc the developers are not convinced dependencies are useful12:51
=== Fujitsu is quite convinced that they are.
LarstiQLaibsch: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/launchpad-users/2006-March/000110.html12:52
LarstiQold thread, but that is where I raised it12:52
=== alex_muntada finds them quite helpful
LarstiQLaibsch: could you explain in the bug what you use them for?12:54
=== LarstiQ finds it helps discussing the problem to be solved instead of a particular solution
kiko-zzzdependencies are useful. but then again, maybe linking a spec to several bugs accomplishes what you want to do01:04
=== Kmos [n=gothicx@unaffiliated/kmos] has joined #launchpad
kiko-zzzas soon as something needs to spam a non-trivial set of bugs, you could argue it needs a channel for consideration01:04

LaibschLarstiQ: Thanks for the link.01:30
LaibschI will elaborate a bit further.01:30
LaibschLarstiQ: Metabug is one thing I use it for and I had considered writing about that here.01:32
LaibschBut then after some consideration I thought that this channel might not be interested in that drivel ;-)01:32
LaibschFurthermore I believe there is an equivalent (which is even better than creating a new bug just to collect others -> the meta-bug)01:33
LarstiQif it's well thought out drivel, I believe it would be welcome ;)01:33
LaibschIt is the tag-feature01:33
LaibschIn your case, you can now just use the tag UnicodeExceptions and have about the same effect01:33
LaibschBut I still believe dependencies are useful for important things that cannot be done with Launchpad ATM01:34
LaibschI use it all the time in the openembedded BTS01:35
=== tokj [n=tokj@151.82.8.254] has joined #launchpad

Laibschmdke: So this is nothing an ordinary user or somebody from QA touches?03:19
LaibschIn that case it would be nice if it was hidden for people who should not apply it.03:19
mdkeLaibsch: anyone can nominate a bug, then the driver/release manager determines whether to accept it or not (as explained when you click on the link)03:20
Laibschsure, whether it is accepted is another mater.03:21
LaibschI don't quite understand the meaninf of nomination.03:22
LaibschIs that sort of like "please release this is edgy/feisty/... when you have the time"?03:22
Laibschthis in03:22
mdkeLaibsch: to nominate means to propose03:27
LaibschI understand that much ;-)03:29
LaibschI wonder what I am proposing by clicking that option ;-)03:29
mdkeLaibsch: you are proposing that the bug be fixed by a particular release03:32

mptLeeJunFan, the problem of the missing Actions menu is a problem in KHTML that I've been trying to work around for the past week or so08:37
mptI thought it happened only with Safari, I didn't know it happened with Konqueror too08:37
mptThe annoying thing is that it's usually fixed by a reload, so it's hard to test any fix :-)08:37
LeeJunFanmpt: ah, at least I know. 08:37
LeeJunFanmpt: I sometimes have to reload a few times to get it right.08:38
LeeJunFanmpt: well, I've got a page src saved of a failed session if it would be any help?08:39
mptLeeJunFan, not unless it's a complete page with the CSS+images all saved locally08:41
mpt(can Konqueror do that?)08:41
LeeJunFanmpt: I don't think so.08:41
LeeJunFanmpt: well, there's an archive feature but it appears to redownload everything rather than just saving what's already loaded, so it's probably not accurate.08:43
mpthmmmmm08:44
LeeJunFanmpt: well, it looks like it worked. It creates some kind of web archive .war file, and the one I have doesn't load everything.08:44
mptCool, mail it to mpt at canonical.com08:44
mptNow I think about it, it might actually be a side-effect of the > bullets I added to the menu08:45
LeeJunFanmpt: okay, it's just a .gz08:45
mptbecause they use funky floats and negative margins that might be confusing KHTML08:45
mptand I'm going to reimplement them in a way that doesn't use negative margins08:45
LeeJunFanyeah, it's definately not in the html, the page I saved by itself doesn't always reproduce the problem, but the archive one does.08:49
mptinteresting08:50
mptsome sort of timing issue, then, depending on how quickly the CSS arrives relative to the HTML08:50
LeeJunFanmpt: yeah, this is weird. The html is actually missing from the source for the menu's when the page doesn't load, it's like khtml is just tossing parts out.09:05
mptThat's even more interesting09:14
mptBecause in Safari, IIRC, the source is still there, it's just not rendered09:15

mptGARRRRRRRGH11:15
LaserJockuh oh11:15
LaserJockthat's not a good sign11:15
mptI am rather displeased11:16
mptwhen Launchpad lets me go to the "Mark bug report as a duplicate" page, and fill out the form, and submit, when it knows damn well that it's not going to let me mark it as a duplicate because other bugs happen to be a duplicate of it11:17
mptIt's cruelty, that's what it is.11:17
LaserJockmpt: I could show you some other LP cruelty if it'll make you feel better ;-)11:19
mptooh, yes please11:19
mptbecause at least I know the can't-duplicate problem is reported11:20
mptbut the other cruelty might not be11:20
LaserJockheh11:20
LaserJockI think most of the cruelty I know of is already reported11:20
LaserJockI've got a new one though I need to work on in a minute11:20
LaserJockonce I've gotten through my LP bugmail11:21
nixternalmpt: I know the feeling. I went through it last night11:21
nixternaltake all of the bugs that were marked as a duplicate, and moving them to the original, one-by-one11:21
LaserJockdoing what?11:23
mptnixternal, yeah, that's what I've been doing for the past 7 minutes11:24
mpt(which should, really, take me 20 seconds)11:24
nixternalyup, I think if you mark one that already has duplicates, they should all follow suit, which I am sure you think the same on that one11:25
LaserJocknixternal: so you are marking a bug with dups as a dup?11:26
nixternalI was dupin' dupes, that had dupes of dupes11:26
LaserJockmpt: has there been any thought to a "mass change" web interface?11:27
nixternalwell, there was a bug report that was excellent, and then there were others that had been duped already that weren't as good, so I wanted to link them as dupes of the good one11:27
mptLaserJock, unfortunately not11:27
LaserJockI was kinda thinking about it the other day11:27
mptnixternal, are you auditioning to be the next Ellen Feiss?11:27
mpt"it was a really really good paper^Wbug report"11:28
mpt"so then I had to dupe it again and it wasn't as good"11:28
LaserJocklike if a person had a file with a list of bugs to act on, then in the web interface you could  mark what actions to take11:28
nixternalhaha11:28
LaserJocknixternal: you just work on the wrong packages ;-)11:30
nixternalI know where you are going with that11:30
LaserJockthe stuff I work on, you're lucky if you get a bug report, period11:30
LaserJocknixternal: nah, I could have11:30
nixternalLaserJock: that's because Microsoft doesn't do bug reports for the general public to work on ;p11:30
LaserJockI was thinking science packages11:30
LaserJocknixternal: I don't do MS, just Apple11:31
nixternaljust as bad, but prettier11:31
LaserJocknot as bad, and way cooler11:31
LaserJock:p11:32
mptApple has a weird system where registered developers can report bugs, and see their own but not anyone else's11:32
LaserJockwhat is a "pillar" in LP?11:41
