LaserJockyou might have to ask the LP admins04:47
LaserJockDARKGuy: what do you need to get rid of specifically?04:48
DARKGuyLaserJock: a blueprint and a serie04:49
LaserJocka series?04:50
DARKGuyyeah04:50
DARKGuyI accidentally made a new one when trunk was already created, and I created it with the same settings04:50
DARKGuyso it's like, duplicated and confusing for new users04:50
LaserJockhmm, a blueprint you can just mark as obsoleted04:50

LaserJockyes04:51
DARKGuycool! that works04:51
DARKGuywhat about the series ?04:51
LaserJockthat I'm not sure about04:51

carlosisn't that like moving 'rosetta' bugs to 'launchpad' and add a tag for it?04:19
danilosAre these really related in a sensible way?04:19
RinchenSince the London meeting established the need for quite a bit of registry work, and bug will thus be associated with that, I'm +1 as well04:19
salgadocarlos, I'm +1 on your proposal as well, but don't tell anybody04:19
carlossalgado: :-)04:19
danilossalgado: then I am +1 on this one :)04:20
mptI think the important thing is not so much "is this a clearly defined tag", but "is this a tag that will be useful"04:20
=== neversfelde|mobi [n=neversfe@mue-88-130-117-181.dsl.tropolys.de] has joined #launchpad
mptsalgado, would you use this tag in searching for bugs to fix, for example?04:20
salgadoyes, I would04:20
mptok then04:20
salgadoand I think matsubara would as well04:21
danilosfor that, I'd need to know what can it be used for? for any bugs related to product registry details? "check for duplicate product registrations"?04:21
salgado(since he proposed the tag)04:21
matsubaradanilos: that's the merge products bug, isn't it?04:21
matsubarawhich would be a bug tagged with the registry tag.04:22
danilosmatsubara: yeah, depending on how you want to solve the problem04:22
mptThere are no -1s, and Rinchen is +1, so I declare the tag is approved04:22
danilosmatsubara: ok, then I see the value in the tag and how I can use it04:22
RinchenThe way I am envisioning this tag be used is during triage and milestone planning. Triage to find the registry bugs and Salgado during milestone planing for his activities. 04:22
matsubaraanother use case is RSS feeds for bug tags. that way you'd be notified when someone files a bug with that tag. 04:22

stubWe will want about 5 hours of database downtime on a weekend to repack the database and change our text search indexes from GIN back to GIST.

stubThere are now NOT NULL constraints and DEFAULTS on Person.personal_standing, Person.mailing_list_receive_duplicates and Person.mailing_list_auto_subscribe_policy. A backported patch is on my pending-db-changes branch to land next time we open launchpad/devel up for db changes.04:24

mptmrevell?04:30
mrevellAh, sorry, I'm just finding my bits04:30
mrevellToday, a Launchpad user posted to launchpad-users to describe a problem he encountered when registering a blueprint:04:30
mrevell"I tried creating a new Blueprint on LaunchPad but I am blind and the first field on that form:04:30
mrevellhttps://blueprints.launchpad.net/specs/+new04:30
statikexcellent, I was hoping you were going to bring that one up04:30
mrevell"Where one has to choose which project the Blueprint should be assigned to,04:30
mrevellis not accessible."04:30
mthaddonyeah, good one that04:30
mrevellIn this case, I have registered the blueprint for him, at his request. However, can we schedule some work to make that form accessible? If so, I'll re-contact him to get specific details of what made it inaccessible to him.04:30
mrevellAlso, Hobbsee has asked me to raise bug 121828, where the "Launchpad is offline for maintenance" message appears even if maintenance is not the cause of Launchpad being offline. Is this something we can/would like to fix?04:31
ubotuLaunchpad bug 121828 in launchpad "Launchpad says it's "offline for maintenance" when it isn't" [Undecided,New]  https://launchpad.net/bugs/12182804:31
intellectronicawhy is this not accessible?04:31
intellectronicait's just the search functionality that isn't04:31
sinzuiAre the labels borked?04:31
jskit's just a text box.04:31
mptmrevell, do you know what he/she meant by accessible?04:31
mrevellintellectronica: I want to get more details from him.04:31
stubmrevell: Originally, that behavior was considered a feature.04:31
Rinchenperhaps is the "choose" menu04:31
mrevellmpt: I assume he's talking about the "choose" box that is, I assume, displayed through JS04:32
statikthat text box is pretty hard to use without being able to search for the project04:32
intellectronicaand that's a popup widget issue, so it's worth fixing (it's all over LP)04:32
mrevellstub: What do you mean?04:32
stubmrevell: Now launchpad can recover from outages, that might need rethinking04:32
mptah04:32
mthaddonI think related to the offline message, if we had more specifics (i.e. it's offline for x reason, expected downtime is y) that might be good too04:32
mrevellstub: Oh, sorry, the second one. yes, I can understand why it happened that way04:32
Rinchenmpt, please add this to your wiki page list. I want to explore related items with you at some point04:32
stubmrevell: When developing launchpad, better for people to see 'down for maintenance' than 'launchpad is a pile of crap'04:32
mptRinchen, my what?04:32
mrevellstub:  sure :)04:32
mrevellI think the status page idea would deal with that.04:33
Rinchenmpt,  your list of usability issue remarks04:33
mptRinchen, oh, it already is04:33
Rinchengreat, thanks04:33
mrevellAs for the accessibility, I'll get more details as to what problem the user encountered.04:33
mrevellunless you know about it already mpt04:33
ddaa"Launchpad is burning, pass the bucket over" would be a bit less negative?04:33
mthaddonperhaps the offline page could link to a page that details recent/upcoming maintenance windows04:33
stubmrevell: Sure? This dictates the implementation of the status page (it will need to be external to Launchpad, and cache information from the database in case the database is inaccessible)04:33
mwhudson"this is elmo's mobile phone number, you many want to call it?"04:33
mptstub, honesty would be more reassuring04:34
stubmpt: Now, sure.04:34
mrevellstub: I've no problem with an off-site status page, but that sort of thing isn't down to me, obviously04:34
stubSure. This is like two years after it was setup that way.04:34
stubWe no longer have hourly cherry picks and whatnot.04:34
Hobbseestub: then again, if lp gets a reputation for often being down, then people will regard it as an unstable pile of crap.04:34
mthaddon:)04:34
Hobbseestub: or good, but completely unstable, so not worth using.04:34
Hobbseestub: pick your poison :)04:35
mrevellHaving used it daily for the past eight or so months, and before that fairly regularly, I reckon our uptime is pretty good04:35
stubIt isn't my call. I'm just explaining the history.04:35
mthaddonHobbsee: from where you're standing, is LP down a lot?04:35
Rinchenmthaddon, are you able to take 121828 for 1.1.8?  04:35

sinzuimrevell: file it as a bug04:46
intellectronicamrevell: is this the popup accessibility issue?04:46
mrevellintellectronica: yeah04:46
intellectronicalet's file a bug and try to come up with a fix - we only need to fix it once for all popus on lp to work correctly04:46
mrevellok, I'll file it once I've asked the user exactly what problem he encountered.04:48
mptmrevell, we're not aware of it04:49
mptand from my past five minutes reading, it's something we'll need to test wherever we use JavaScript04:49
intellectronicampt:i think we are, we just need to file a bug and think what to do about it04:49
mptintellectronica, well you might be, you're the expert here :-)04:50
mptbut I wasn't04:50
intellectronicathough that could be a _different_ issue from what mrevell's corespondent is reporting04:50
intellectronicampt: in that case i should have filed a bug :)04:51
mpthttp://boxofchocolates.ca/archives/2005/06/12/javascript-and-accessibility is interesting04:51
mrevellintellectronica: What issue are you aware of?04:52
intellectronicampt: true but, a: many users of screen readers turn off javascript, and there are other users who don't have javascript for other reasons (security, whatever)04:53
intellectronicamrevell: the popup widgets (the ones where you can fill in the detail or click 'Choose...' don't do anything if you click choose and don't have javascript04:54
mrevellintellectronica: I think that's almost certainly the issue here.04:54
mrevellCan we make them degrade gracefully?04:54
intellectronicamrevell: ideally, we should do something different if the user doesn't have javascript, like jump to a new page, or replace the widget with a combo04:54
mptintellectronica, I agree that Launchpad should work without JavaScript, but it's not clear that that's the issue here04:54
intellectronicamrevell: i don't see why not (with a bit of work)04:54
sinzuimpt: i agree.04:55
intellectronicampt: true, let's regard this as a separate issue then04:55
mptSeparate until proved the same04:55
intellectronicaan opportunity to dogfood that duplicate bug functionality :)04:56
sinzuiI think we need to know if choose dialog activated, but was unintelligible, or just did not run.04:56
intellectronicasinzui: good point04:57
mptexactly04:57
mrevellAh, okay, I see that I was wrong to jump to a conclusion here.04:57
mptFor example, we could use JavaScript to insert those "Choose..." links in the first place, so that without JavaScript you had just the text field04:58
mptbut that wouldn't solve the problem, for those people, of it being difficult to enter the appropriate value05:00

intellectronicampt: there are two solutions i can think of05:11
intellectronica1. make the choose links go to a new page where you can search05:11
intellectronica2. start with a drop-down and replace it dynamically (so only if js is on)05:12
intellectronicathe problem with the latter is that sometimes the lists will be too long (so both difficult to use and potentially causing timeouts)05:12
mptintellectronica, for the sanity of non-disabled users, we should do a Google-Suggest-like thing anyway05:13
intellectronicampt: that would be awesome!05:13
mptintellectronica, are you volunteering? ;-)05:13
