RotundInteresting.  So, what parts of Twisted?04:31
spivBits and pieces.  The SFTP/bzr+ssh server at bazaar.launchpad.net, the "librarian" web server, an internal XML-RPC server, and some other internal systems.04:34
RotundOkay, what about the web interface?  is that Zope or Nevow or something else?04:36
spivIt's Zope 3.  (You can see that it's Zope by looking at the Server and X-Powered-By headers in the HTTP responses)04:38

lamontcprov: is there any way from the LP UI (looking at build records, especially failed records) to say "please eliminate the records for any superseded source"?14:52
cprovlamont: no, they are eliminated only when they reach dispatcher (i.e, on-the-fly, not by batches) and since gutsy was released they won't be considered by dispatched and will remain in pending state (hint: it's a problem)14:54
lamontcprov: and manually deleting them will just be undone when the queue-builder fix hits production, eh?14:55
lamontmy question wasn't really hppa/gutsy related...14:55
lamontwhen I pull up the list of failed-to-build packages, I don't really care about earlier versions: I only want to see things where the current version is FTBFS14:56
cprovlamont: no, failed build from old versions will remain as 'history', we do not provide a proper FTBFS list yet14:57
lamontcprov: right.  they need to remain as history.  I just want the option to filter records for superseded source.14:57
lamontso I'll file a wishlist bug14:57
cprovlamont: yup.14:59
=== danilo_ is now known as danilos
lamontnew question.  if the dispatcher strips any needs-build records and doesn't dispatch them for gutsy now, then I think I have another wishlist bug that says "please mark such records as failed, reason="stable release, no way (or some such)", rather than leaving the queue polluted with records that'll never go anywhere15:00

Rinchenso we're targeting next week's roll-out for resolution then.15:16
cprovRinchen: I didn't have time to work on the DB cleanup patch yet, but since we *can* live with the broken data, I think the bug should be demoted to 'high'15:17
kikocprov, won't the broken data cause the constraint to not apply?15:17
kikocprov, and isn't the broken data causing OOPSes too?15:17
cprovkiko: right, the broken data in gutsy-* will block the constraint15:18
kikocprov, it needs fixing asap.15:18

Rinchenkiko, do you have some time later today to work this a bit further with cprov (in the interest of meeting time)?15:20
cprovkiko: partially, because we can't remove stuff published in gutsy 15:20
cprovkiko: we have to tweak the SQL generated by the script manually15:21

flacosteThese changes were merged on 2007-07-3, so well after the last Ubuntu release.15:38
flacosteEach Ubuntu release brings a spike in usage on the wiki, so it makes sense15:38

SteveAok15:41
SteveAand coming back to the bug tags...15:41
SteveAfor the proposed tag 'lpdeps', the heading and bugs are not linked, making it inconvenient for readers to see what bugs are refered to15:42
SteveAeven so, I think this is better done with a Product15:42
SteveAas it's not launchpad code we're talking about, but packages for use by developers and installation on servers15:42
SteveAso, I think we should use a launchpad-dependencies Project for this instead15:42
SteveAkiko: you proposed the tag.  comments?15:43
salgado+1 for the Project15:43
kikoSteveA, I'm fine with a separate project; it sounds more correct to me tbh.15:44
SteveAcool15:44
kikothe only reason I proposed a tag was to be less controversial15:44
kikobut having it be a project will allow us to use Packaging links correctly too15:44
SteveAgreat15:44
kikosince these are included in Ubuntu15:44
kikomy /only/ question is15:44
kikowhy don't we just use the Ubuntu packages to manage these bugs? it appears that that is frowned upon15:45
SteveAwhich ubuntu packages?15:45

SteveAthose were in dapper iirc15:45
SteveAby mistake15:45
statikCollaborative Commerce: not blocked (sorry for the delay there)15:45
flacosteisn't because they are published from another APT archive?15:45
salgadokiko, they don't really exist in Ubuntu15:45
SteveAso, basically, they are not in ubuntu in any meaningful sense15:46
SteveAwe could put them in a PPA15:46
kikothey aren't?15:46
kikookay let me shut up then.15:46
SteveAright15:46
SteveAthey were in once, but it was a mistake15:46
mptThat may be related to the recently-reported bug about "partner" appearing as an Ubuntu pocket15:46
kikoa separate project is fine, I'll move the bugs across.15:46
SteveAso they were removed again15:46
SteveAcool15:46
kikothanks!15:46
SteveAso, 'lpdeps' as a bug tag is rejected in favour of using a Project15:46

Rinchenflacoste, you mean micro-distribution right? ;-)15:49
flacosteRinchen: you get to pick the name15:50
RinchenLaunchpad Outstanding User-created Distribution15:51
* Rinchen toddles off to do real work.15:51
sabdflflacoste: we are SO going to have to solve that15:54
sabdflbecause sooner, rather than later, bugs will start to show up against Ubuntu for PPA packages :-)15:54
flacostesabdlf: i knew you would like the idea!15:54
sabdflin my ideal world, apport / bugbuddy / whatevertool would know that a package was installed from a PPA and file it in the right place15:55
sabdflit's just that we don't currently know what "the right place" is :-)15:55
* ScottK would like "right" to be somewhere where Ubuntu bug triagers never have to deal with it.15:56
lamontScottK: until it's flagged as also affecting ubuntu15:56
ScottKlamont: If it's in a PPA, by definition it doesn't.15:57
lamontcprov: so - about my question from right at the meeting start... got a couple minutes to chat?15:57
lamontScottK: it's possible that I'm encountering a bug in the part of the package that wasn't changed in stuffing it into the ppa15:57
=== matsubara is now known as matsubara-lunch
ScottKlamont: Then go test against a real package and file against that.15:58
lamontjust because I find a bug in an ubuntu package with a -ubuntuN suffix in the version doesn't mean that it doesn't affect debian15:58
lamontah, I'd rather they just marked the bug as also-affects.15:58
ScottKTrue, but it takes some figuring by someone who (usually) knows more than the bug reporter to know.15:59
cprovlamont: can't it wait 30 min ? I need some food ;)15:59
lamontthen again, I'd like to be able to say that a bug also-affects debian, and have LP deal with the mechanics of filing said bug for me if it's not already there.15:59
lamontcprov: sure15:59
lamontpoke me15:59
cprovok15:59
=== cprov is now known as cprov-lunch
lamontScottK: then again, having LP file bugs against debian or other upstream begins to enter the political space15:59
ScottKlamont: Exactly.15:59
lamontScottK: and since ubuntu is apolitical (esp wrt our derivatives?), we shouldn't mind the 'also-affects' activity16:00
ScottKlamont: You may not.  I certainly do.  All the also affects baltix bugs in backports drive me nuts.  How can a request to backport to Ubuntu Feisty affect baltix?16:01
lamontbecause baltix is planning to do a feisty.7 release? :-)16:02
lamontor is derived from feisty-backports? (*phear*)16:02
ScottKI have no idea, but feisty-backports is a project about backporting to a specific Ubuntu release.  Baltix should deal with their own problems and not spam me with their bugmail.16:04
ubotuNew bug: #153934 in launchpad "Ubuntero status shouldn't appear on everyone's profile page" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/15393416:05
lamontScottK: ah... that's a different issue.  LP shouldn't be sending you also-affects email, I expect16:10
lamontor you should be able to tell it not to16:10
ScottKlamont: You're either subscribed to the bug or not AFAIK16:10
lamontgrumble.  I see your point16:11
lamontalso-affects (in my mind anyway) wants to be a very light weight clone of the bug16:11
ScottKlamont: That'd be different, but that's not the LP we have today.16:13
lamontright.  iz bug. :-)16:14
ScottKOK.  Get them to fix that, then we'll talk.16:14
lamontOTOH, procmail is love16:14
ScottKSure, I could filter out irrelevanceies, but I shouldn't have to be bothered.16:15
lamontyou should file a bug that says 'also affects' should not generate mail, maybe16:15
seb128hey16:16
seb128does anybody if it's possible to have a bot displaying all the commits to a launchpad team archive on IRC?16:17
pochucan't ubotu do that?16:17
pochulamont, ScottK: I think Also Affects should generate mail. If I have a bug in a package, and it also affects upstream, for example, I'd really like to know what upstream thinks about it.16:18
ScottKpochu: Then subscribe to that too.16:18
pochulamont, ScottK: Also, how would you know a comment is reported against feisty-backports, or against baltix?16:19
pochuScottK: hmm, that might have sense...16:19
ScottKWell currently you don't16:19
ScottKThat's another part of the problem.16:19
lamontpochu: which is why 'also affects' should really be cloning the bug16:19
kikopochu, also affects does generate email -- do you mean to the people subscribed to the bug, though?16:23
ScottKkiko: lamont and I were just wishing it didn't and he was presenting a counter argument.16:24
lamontkiko: when a downstream disto says "me too", I really don't want to hear it: that's their bug.16:25
lamontOTOH, when they have a patch for me, I'd love to know16:25
kikolamont, I'm not sure you really don't want to hear it in all cases.16:25
lamontand if someone marks the bug as "also affects upstream", then I do want to hear about it, generally.16:25
kikoand it's easier to ignore or delete email than to make it appear when it doesn't. :)16:25
lamontkiko: heh16:25
ScottKkiko: I'm certain when baltix me too's feisty-backports bugs that I don't want to hear it in all cases.16:25
lamontkiko: and understood...16:26
lamontkiko: ostrich-releases like backports (head in the sand, don't care about the world)  _would_ be a case where I don't want to hear about it _ever_.16:26
kikoScottK, you can ignore mail by component you know :-)16:27
lamontbut backports could be special in that regard.16:27
kikobut not by pocket, hmm16:27
lamontkiko: sounds like you know what to put in _that_ bug report, eh? :-)16:27
kikoheh16:30
keescookddaa: heya16:32
ddaakeescook: I looked a your xpath stuff16:33
ddaathe biggest problem I have is not translating it16:33
=== meduxa is now known as toscalix
ddaais figuring what the hell it's intended to do16:33
keescookhehe, yeah.16:34
ddaaI have a feeling it should be reasonably easy to translate to some functional programming construct that's more readable16:34
* lamont wonders if there is a mailing list that all build logs get mailed to...16:34
pochuseb128: #ubuntu-installer has the CIA bot, which does that for them. You might want to talk to cjwatson or evand.16:34
ddaaor even not even functional programming at all...16:34
keescookddaa: sure, I totally believe it's possible to do that; I'm interested in figuring out why it doesn't work with the "workaround" document obj.16:34
ddaakeescook: what I am interested in16:35
ddaais enabling folks like to make nice greasemonkey love for launchpad16:35
seb128pochu: as they documented on their wiki that's something they set up on the commiter side, not on the server16:35
ddaakeescook: figuring why esoteric undocumented features of firefox do not work as intended in edge cases is, like, totally not on my radar :)16:35
keescookddaa: um, esoteric?  xpath is very very common.16:36
pochuseb128: ok, but that's what you asked for, isn't it? :-)16:36
ddaaI know xpath, I just never heard of a portable way to evaluate xpath expression in js16:36
ddaakeescook: I'd be glad to be educated, though16:37
* keescook has no clue16:37
keescookI just use things from examples I see.  :)16:37
seb128pochu: not really, I would like a server side solution, not something which display commit only of people who configured the hook locally16:37
keescookbut I know xpath is all fancy-cool and what all the web2.0 kidz are using.  :)16:37
* ddaa used xpath beyound reason when he was a xslt crack-peddler16:38
ddaakeescook: here's my hunch16:38
ddaatry stuffing the data into a hidden element on the page16:38
ddaait might it's not working because the DOM is not up in the air, and not in a page16:39
ddaain any case, it does not look it a problem with launchpad at all16:39
ddaaprove me wrong and give me something to fix16:39
keescookddaa: that's true.  I do get an XML response now.16:39
keescookI'll try the hidden element hack.  :)  do you have a small snippet as an example of that?16:40
ddaanope, I just imagined it might work :)16:40
ddaabut I cannot help the feeling that it would be more sensible to stick to simple things that get the job done16:41
pochuseb128: this might be interesting: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+spec/irc-notifications16:42
ddaakeescook: I'm thinking of closing bug 153654 as invalid16:42

seb128pochu: right, the idea is not new ;-)16:42
keescookddaa: okay, that's fine by me.16:43
ddaaI talked a bit with mpt, and he seems to be extremely meh about serving pages as text/xml...16:43
kikohey Seveas 16:43
kikoScottK, so, about pyspf.16:43
keescookyeah, that's fine.  Adding the mime override for XML use is okay by me.16:43
Seveashey kiko16:43
kikoScottK, it's actually the case that because pyspf releases separate tarballs, it's meant to be a separate project indeed.16:44
kikoScottK, now I've set up a code import for it on trunk and am waiting for it to sync16:44
ddaakeescook: btw, I have just come up with some userContent.css you might want to use16:44
keescookddaa: oh?16:45
ScottKkiko: I don't see anything on LP about it?16:45
kikoSeveas, how could I convince you to rig your bot to also accept commit messages?16:45
kikoScottK, in https://edge.launchpad.net/pyspf?16:45
ScottKOh.16:45
kikoScottK, because that's what represents the upstream side of the project16:46
Seveaskiko, a suitable bribe and/or a more clear explanation of what you mean16:46
ScottKkiko: I was looking at https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pyspf16:46
Seveas:)16:46
kikoSeveas, so seb128 was talking to be about how it would be neat to get commit messages posted to IRC16:46
kikoSeveas, and I was thinking that if we got your bot to subscribe to a branch, it'd get notified16:46
ScottKkiko: I don't see any indication of code, but maybe that waits for the sync16:47
kikoSeveas, it'd then be a matter of parsing that email and posting it16:47
Seveaskiko, hmm, I'm going to have to redesign the mail-to-irc bits then. They currently require a separate address for each function16:48
ScottKkiko: Homepage and description are still obsolete.16:48
kikoSeveas, we could use a separate address, no problem.16:48
Seveaskiko, file it as a bug please16:48
kikoScottK, yeah, the sync isn't going yet. but it will, and I'm working on a portlet to display the latest revisions that we could use in useful contexts16:48
kikoScottK, do you have a good description for it?16:48
kikoI don't16:48
ScottKkiko: Where did you get the wrong one you have?16:49
Seveaskiko, it is a problem since it's not trivial to create N launchpad accounts for N branches. Ideally, adding a branch (or bug) monitor should be fairly trivial 16:49
kikoScottK, from http://www.wayforward.net/spf/16:49
kikoScottK, incidentally. :)16:49
ScottKSo where did you get that?16:50
kikoScottK, http://www.google.com.br/search?q=pyspf&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a16:50
ScottKkiko: It would seem to me to make sense to look at the perfectly reasonable package description provided in the Debian packaging.16:51
ScottKThe problem in this case is that that hasn't been the project's home for ~3 years.16:51
lamontScottK: if the package isn't 3 years old, then that's a bug.16:52
lamontif it is, then it's just annoying16:53
kikoScottK, arguably, the project needs its own homepage :)16:53
ScottKkiko: It's got all the home page it needs on Sourceforge or Python Cheeseshop.16:54

kikoScottK, updated the upstream page, now16:57
ddaakeescook: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41077/16:57
ScottKkiko: I'm one of the upstream developers.  I just took over as Debian maintainer for the package (although I havne't uploaded yet), and here I am (only because I also happen to use Ubuntu) having to tell you that it's wrong.16:57
ScottKThis just doesn't seem like a process that is going to scale well at all.16:57
kikoScottK, now that this is done more useful things can happen.16:59
ScottKkiko: How is this going to work for the thousands of packages in Universe?17:00

ScottKkiko: How many of those are as wrong as this one?  So far you are 0 for 1 I've looked at.17:01
kikobehold the statistics ;)17:02
ScottKWell so far, I've wasted a fair amount of time getting something that is of no value to me right.  I don't understand why it exists at all.17:04
kikoScottK, it would help if you helped maintain the upstream project, given you are an upstream developer, in this specific case. we've done that for most upstreams that we have a good relationship with17:04
ScottKWhy should I spend time on it? 17:04
kikoScottK, i.e. I maintain the kiwi and stoq packages17:04
ScottKWhat value is it to me as an upstream or an Ubuntu dev?17:04
kikowhich I am upstream for17:04
kikoScottK, I guess I need to write a blog entry about that17:04
ScottKAs an Ubuntu dev, all I want is to be able to link to upstream bugs.  17:05
kikoScottK, but to be honest, I'm not sure how much time you've wasted since it's me doing all the real work!17:05
ScottKAll this other stuff is just extraneous cruft.17:05
kikoyou are just the one being a curmudgeon. :)17:05
ScottKWell it's me sitting here pointing you at it.17:05
ScottKkiko: I do resent time I spend as a volunteer helping you improve your proprietary prodcut.  In most cases I have consulting rates for that.17:06
kikoScottK, one day you will realize that I am just a great a person as your best friend and then you will regret being so nasty to me. but for now I will just ignore that.17:07
* kiko goes back to work17:08
ScottKIt's not personal17:08
* ScottK really doesn't understand why noticing that launchpad is not FOSS, is being nasty.17:08
LaserJockScottK: noticing is one thing, but "resenting" is a bit more than that17:11
ScottKLaserJock: Perhaps.  Getting forced to work on proprietary products to keep Ubuntu working nicely is something I resent, but OK.17:12

kikowell, it can be changed, and I do care a lot about it not being free software, but it's not something that happens in a blink. and creating the upstream product and maintaining the packaging link isn't making "a proprietary product" better, it's actually making the Launchpad service for Ubuntu better. but that's ill-documented and I'd better invest time in fixing that than in arguing nonsense over IRC.17:24
