[12:26] <aa_> I really want to delete all the milestones and bluprints from my project
[01:09] <tristanbob> hello all! I am trying to get an open source project to use launchpad
[01:09] <tristanbob> ziptie.org
 i'm not sure how i feel about people branching off so easily.  seems like it almost encourages fragmentation rather than collaboration.
 "Anyone can create and publish their own branch of your code."
[01:10] <tristanbob> what is a good answer to that?
[01:11] <carlos> tristanbob: I would say that that lowers the barrier to contribute to the project
[01:11] <carlos> you don't depend on someone to approve your patch to publish it
[01:12] <carlos> and you can see all branches together in Launchpad, and thus, merge those changes in your branch if you want
[01:12] <tristanbob> carlos: thank you - I am passing that along :)
[01:13] <carlos> tristanbob: anyway, if you need better arguments try on Monday or mail directly to launchpad-users mailing list
[01:13] <tristanbob> they are going to read the info on the website this weekend
[01:14] <carlos> so you could get some input from David (ddaa) or other maintainers of bzr integration in Launchpad
[01:14] <carlos> ok
[01:17] <LarstiQ> or join #bzr
[01:18] <LarstiQ> since distributed version control is not specific to launchpad, but for the flavor that comes with it we can certainly answer your questions 
[01:18] <LarstiQ> tristanbob: in my experience, it promotes collaboration
[01:22] <tristanbob> can you pick and choose what features to use?  like if they JUST wanted a bugzilla replacement?
[01:22] <tristanbob> thanks LarstiQ 
[01:23] <LarstiQ> tristanbob: sure, you can use the bug tracking without the code hosting or translations
[01:35] <carlos>  night!
[09:02] <kosnick> hi everyone. i try to translate some package with 500 parts. I have already translated the first 110. How can i get to 111 part of the package without keep using the next next next button until i get there ? is there some way?
[09:38] <mpt> kosnick, yes there is
[09:39] <mpt> you can edit the URL
[09:39] <mpt> one moment...
[09:40] <mpt> kosnick, go to the first page of translations for the package
[09:40] <mpt> then change "+translate" to "+translate?start=110"
[09:41] <mpt> I will report a bug that this should be easier to do
[09:43] <mpt> Actually, it's already reported, bug 104839
[09:43] <ubotu> Launchpad bug 104839 in rosetta "Navigation through batched translation pages is slow" [Medium,Confirmed]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/104839
[01:08] <AlexC_> Hey
[01:10] <AlexC_> I imported a translation .pot file 18 hours ago and it's still not imported =\ why's it taking so long?
[01:25] <mpt> AlexC_, you may not get a useful answer at this hour, try mailing the launchpad-users@ mailing list
[03:25] <Nick_Hill> I notice on Ubuntu there are bugs which have what may be useful information on them for someone who has the bug, but no activity for a year or more.
[03:25] <Nick_Hill> I imagine there are therefore many bugs on Launchpad which have been fixed as an incidental effect of another fix.
[03:27] <Nick_Hill> If thee are huge numbers of bugs associated with a package, the sheer size of the apparent job might make developers shy away from clearing all bigs.
[03:27] <Nick_Hill> Too bigger job to chew
[03:27] <Nick_Hill> I suggest there be a way for bugs to die if nobody keeps them alive.
[03:28] <Nick_Hill> For example, if no messages on a bug for 10 months, a message asking for a viewer of the bug, if they are experiencing the bug, to post a message.
[03:28] <Nick_Hill> If no messages posted for 12 months, purge the bug.
[03:31] <Fujitsu> Nick_Hill: There is a bug/spec about closing inactive bugs in the `Incomplete' state scheduled for Launchpad 1.1.8, I believe.
[03:33] <Nick_Hill> Fujitsu, Great. I haven't checked, though, whether the old, untended bugs tend to me marked incomplete.
[03:34] <Fujitsu> Nick_Hill: When somebody has requested information, they should be.
[04:37] <jimqode> I found out today I accidentally registered two accounts on launchpad and have been using both of them (one from home, one at work)
[04:37] <jimqode> is it possible to merge them?
[04:40] <radix> jimqode: https://launchpad.net/people/+requestmerge
[04:42] <jimqode> radix, thank you
[04:43] <radix> no worries
[04:49] <_gpg_> hello
[04:50] <_gpg_> I wold like to know when canonical will open launchpad source please
[04:50] <_gpg_> (if it will be)
[04:58] <jimqode> _gpg_, it will be free software once it is complete.
[04:59] <jimqode> _gpg_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/faq
[04:59] <_gpg_> jimqode i'm so frustrated lol
[05:00] <_gpg_> jimqode and i think that too many developers are too
[05:00] <jimqode> mark thinks having a single Launchpad instance is the most practical way of maximizing the collaboration that Launchpad is designed to achieve :)
[05:03] <_gpg_> i'm not using google linux, nor sourceforge linux distributions ;) i'm using ubuntu for all my work (many people too) and i've migrate all my open source projects to bazaar vcs
[05:04] <_gpg_> so it's quite normal to ask :)
[05:04] <_gpg_> i dont think the same thing
[05:05] <_gpg_> "maximizing the collaboration" of what exactly ?
[05:07] <_gpg_> really i cant understand this 
[05:09] <oojah> _gpg_: The strength of launchpad lies in linking all of the projects that use it together.
[05:09] <jimqode> if all projects stay on the same repository, rather than multiple unconnected launchpad instances on the net, it is easier for different projects to collaborate
[05:09] <_gpg_> -_-
[05:11] <_gpg_> im talking anout trac + svn model wich is equal to bazaar + launchpad one
[05:13] <_gpg_> it's like you say "You cant use launchpad to do anystuff with has no relatioship with ubuntu developpement)
[05:13] <oojah> _gpg_: I'm nothing to do with launchpad or ubuntu. I use launchpad for projects not related to ubuntu.
[05:14] <oojah> Launchpad is for everyone.
[05:14] <jimqode> your project does not need to have a relationship with ubuntu to use launchpad
[05:16] <_gpg_> if it's for every one why can't install it on my personnal computer ? if you say that launchpad API isnt mature i'll believe, but when you say "just host it on launchpad server" that what i cant unserstand :)
[05:16] <_gpg_> what should happened if i want to add some features to launchpad to make it iso-xxxx or cmmi compilent ?
[05:17] <oojah> _gpg_: Again, speaking from my own perspective, if everybody had their own version of launchpad it would dilute the benefits that launchpad gives.
[05:18] <oojah> I find it frustrating when there are bugs in distros' bug tools that are related to packages I'm involved with yet never hear about.
[05:18] <oojah> Launchpad allows them to be linked together.
[05:19] <_gpg_> oojah if every one had it own version, the number of plugins / extension will increase 
[05:19] <_gpg_> well, i've just to wait and see
[05:19] <_gpg_> good luck btw
[06:46] <Daviey> Hey, is it possible to mark a bug in two packages?
[06:46] <Daviey> ie not upstream or other distro's
[06:46] <Daviey> just two packages having the same bug?
[06:51] <Daviey> Should the bug be reported twice (for both packages) then marked as dups?
[09:02] <siretart> Anyone around who can tell me where my g-wrap have gone to? they seem to have been eaten!
[09:02] <siretart> I didn't get any reject nor accept, it just seems they went to limbus. I did other uploads later, which did got ACCEPTED
