| LeRoutier | but couldn't test it as Ubufox uses Ubuntu's apt db to look for such markers in control files | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| LeRoutier | and my packages aren't in for now | 00:00 |
| LeRoutier | hum, 14x14 pixels, I guess we'll have to ask our artist to make some custom icons for launchpad | 00:05 |
| LeRoutier | nevermind, got the original svgs | 00:05 |
| LeRoutier | ddaa, https://edge.launchpad.net/swfdec/ now fully branded, driver & bug contacts filled. All links & descriptions fixed. Thanks for the help | 00:19 |
| ddaa | Lovely. | 00:20 |
| ddaa | BTW, if you ever stop working on swfdec, I think the considerate thing woud be to give it back to registry. | 00:20 |
| ddaa | Maybe with a launchpad-users message. | 00:21 |
| LeRoutier | no problem, I won't let it rote | 00:21 |
| ddaa | No doubt, just spreading a meme. | 00:21 |
| LeRoutier | anyway, it's 1:30AM here, time to sleep a bit, somethings tells me I'll have to wake up to go to work in a few hours | 00:22 |

| thumper | jamesh: ping | 07:00 |
| thumper | spiv: ping | 07:00 |
| jamesh | hi | 07:00 |
| thumper | jml is on holiday | 07:01 |
| thumper | jtv isn't around for some reason | 07:01 |
| lifeless | blargh | 07:01 |
| lifeless | I claim my fingers are here. | 07:01 |
| thumper | and lifeless | 07:01 |
| BjornT | hi | 07:01 |
| thumper | spiv is out to get lunch | 07:01 |
| thumper | so he'll have to catch up | 07:01 |
| thumper | * Next meeting | 07:01 |
| thumper | many of us will be in Boston | 07:01 |
| thumper | jml will be around | 07:02 |
| thumper | but who else | 07:02 |
| thumper | ? | 07:02 |
| lifeless | isn't jml on leave? | 07:02 |
| thumper | now he is | 07:02 |
| thumper | but not next Tuesday | 07:02 |
| thumper | lifeless: are you at UDS? | 07:02 |
| lifeless | yes | 07:02 |
| thumper | spiv will be around I guess | 07:02 |
| thumper | but there isn't much point of a meeting with spiv and jml alone | 07:03 |
| thumper | so, next meeting the Tuesday after all hands? | 07:03 |
| lifeless | yes | 07:03 |
| thumper | done | 07:03 |
| thumper | * Action items | 07:03 |
| thumper | there appears to be only one outstanding | 07:03 |
| thumper | about jml talking to SteveA about the no param methods being properties on views | 07:04 |
| thumper | since he isn't around, we'll skip this bit | 07:04 |
| thumper | * Queue status | 07:04 |
| * thumper checks | 07:04 | |
| thumper | I count 7 and 4 overdue | 07:04 |
| thumper | 2 unallocated | 07:05 |
| thumper | and two of the overdue are my 1.1.11 branches | 07:05 |
| thumper | so no rush there | 07:05 |
| thumper | jtv has one overdue but he isn't around and I can't nag him | 07:05 |
| thumper | and other one is for .EU/US | 07:05 |
| thumper | * The 'needs mentoring' flag | 07:06 |
| thumper | this seems to be hung over from last week | 07:06 |
| thumper | IIRC barry has a '*' to fix this | 07:06 |
| thumper | jamesh: what does the pending reviews script do with a merge-conditional* ? | 07:06 |
| jamesh | I don't think it does anything with it yet. I need to fix that | 07:07 |
| thumper | ok | 07:07 |
| thumper | shall I action you to do this? | 07:07 |
| jamesh | yep | 07:07 |
| thumper | ok | 07:07 |
| thumper | * Mentoring update | 07:07 |
| thumper | anyone mentoring? | 07:07 |
| thumper | jamesh: going ok? | 07:07 |
| spiv | thumper: pong | 07:08 |
| * spiv catches up | 07:08 | |
| * thumper has almost finished his glass | 07:08 | |
| jamesh | there are a bunch I need to go over. | 07:08 |
| thumper | spiv: when you've caught up, how's the mentoring going? | 07:09 |
| spiv | It's going well. | 07:09 |
| thumper | good | 07:10 |
| spiv | It's going smoothly enough that I don't have any issues to raise :) | 07:10 |

| * thumper will take that as a no for now | 07:11 | |
| thumper | * sinzui: mpt asks what is the reason for no trailing whitespace? Is there really a problem with a line that only has whitespace (preserving the indentation of the previous block)? | 07:11 |
| thumper | comments? | 07:11 |
| thumper | personally I don't like it as I have it showing up red | 07:12 |
| spiv | Really, I don't care much about this issue either way. | 07:13 |
| mpt | That was discussed at the previous reviewer meeting | 07:13 |
| thumper | mpt: .au or .us? | 07:13 |
| mpt | errrrr, .us I guess | 07:13 |
| mpt | whichever one barry was at | 07:13 |
| thumper | mpt: that was the other guys :) | 07:13 |
| mpt | and the result was discussed on launchpad@ | 07:13 |
| thumper | we like to shove our oar in too | 07:13 |
| mpt | oh, carry on then :-) | 07:14 |
| thumper | mpt: no comments from .au people though | 07:14 |
| spiv | I don't really have much to add to the comments on the list. | 07:14 |
| mpt | So, what I suggested to sinzui before he brought it up | 07:14 |
| mpt | is that those people with editors that highlight trailing whitespace tweak them to highlight trailing whitespace only on non-blank lines | 07:15 |
| thumper | mpt: noted | 07:15 |
| lifeless | mpt: there is a problem with changes on such lines | 07:15 |
| lifeless | and also, and this is worth noting, it affects sequence matching during diff | 07:15 |
| lifeless | thus affecting when conflicts appear | 07:16 |
| mpt | Right, a line that is changed unnecessarily is bad regardless of what kind of change it is | 07:16 |
| thumper | lifeless: worth considering | 07:16 |
| lifeless | mpt: thats not what I said | 07:16 |
| lifeless | mpt: in fact an unchanged all whitespace line can be a problem. | 07:16 |
| mpt | ok, then I don't understand what you mean by "sequence matching" | 07:16 |
| mpt | Are you saying that diff treats empty lines specially? | 07:17 |
| lifeless | mpt: no, that it doesn't | 07:17 |
| thumper | spaces are not empty | 07:17 |
| thumper | semantics... | 07:17 |
| lifeless | so two visually the same lines that separate functions that are not the same will lead to a failure to match | 07:18 |
| spiv | lifeless: are you saying that we'll get better/worse/different diffs and conflicts if we allow/disallow lines with just whitespace? (cross out any that don't apply ;) | 07:18 |
| mpt | I'm using "empty" to refer to a line that has nothing in it (except a LF/CR/whatever), and "blank" to refer to a line that has either nothing or only whitespace in it | 07:18 |
| lifeless | I haven't analysed it carefully enough, been up for > 13 hours now. But I think better if you enforce 'an empty line has length 1' | 07:18 |
| lifeless | then 'a blank line must be empty' is the rule I would suggest/require. | 07:19 |
| thumper | or using mpt's words blank has length 1 | 07:19 |
| thumper | right | 07:19 |
| thumper | ok | 07:19 |
| thumper | next | 07:19 |
| thumper | * mwhudson: should we insist on the summary->blank->description convention for test method's docstrings? | 07:19 |
| spiv | lifeless: funny, my off-the-top-of-my-head guess would be the opposite. | 07:19 |
| lifeless | if this hasn't been mentioned on list it should be | 07:20 |
| thumper | I find PEP-8 sometimes too restrictive when trying to write test method docstrings | 07:20 |
| lifeless | I don't really like docstrings for tests | 07:20 |
| jamesh | some test runners produce horrid output if the test methods have docstrings | 07:21 |
| lifeless | I prefer comments. But thats me. | 07:21 |
| spiv | jamesh: not ours, though. | 07:21 |
| jamesh | e.g. the cscvs test runner | 07:21 |
| lifeless | jamesh: well, thats trivially tunable. Its a pyunit knob. | 07:21 |
| thumper | I'm happy with comments rather than docstrings | 07:21 |
| BjornT | i also provide comments for test methods. if docstrings are used, they should be properly formatted, though. | 07:21 |
| spiv | I don't think a docstring's summary should be restricted to what fits on one line. | 07:21 |
| BjornT | s/provide/prefer/ | 07:21 |
| lifeless | I'm with BjornT | 07:21 |
| spiv | (test method or not) | 07:21 |
| thumper | OK, to summaries, comment or docstring is fine, but if docstring, follow PEP-8? | 07:22 |
| thumper | summarise | 07:22 |
| lifeless | that would be my vote. | 07:22 |
| thumper | or zed for you americans (zee) | 07:22 |
| lifeless | which btw, doesn't conflict with what spiv said. | 07:22 |
| spiv | If docstrings, follow the same docstring style we use everywhere else. | 07:23 |
| BjornT | thumper: well, you mean PEP-257, don't you? | 07:23 |
| thumper | lifeless: PEP-8 says docstring summary on one line doesn't it? | 07:23 |
| thumper | BjornT: perhaps | 07:23 |
| lifeless | thumper: it also says pragmatic over purity | 07:23 |
| spiv | thumper: IIRC PEP-8 defers docstring style to PEP-257 | 07:23 |
| * thumper bows to the PEP masters | 07:23 | |
| thumper | lifeless: I like that part of it | 07:24 |
| spiv | I don't. Summaries short be as short as they can be, but no shorter. | 07:24 |
| thumper | * any other business? | 07:24 |

| ubotu | New bug: #156118 in launchpad "Launchpad lists packages which are not available in a specific release" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/156118 | 07:55 |
| gnomefreak | why does PPA compare md5sums of packages uploaded, example the reject mail makes it sound like its comparing md5sum of package~ppa1 and package~ppa2 (they are gonna be differnet) | 08:18 |
| gnomefreak | Rejected: | 08:19 |
| gnomefreak | MD5 sum of uploaded file does not match existing file in archive | 08:19 |
| gnomefreak | Files specified in DSC are broken or missing, skipping package unpack verification. | 08:19 |
| lifeless | gnomefreak: you can't reuse a version you've already used | 08:31 |
| gnomefreak | i didnt | 08:31 |
| gnomefreak | ppa1 and pp2 | 08:31 |
| jamesh | modified orig.tar.gz maybe? | 08:31 |
| gnomefreak | PPA should not compare them | 08:31 |
| * jamesh is guessing | 08:32 | |
| gnomefreak | jamesh: its a differnet tarball but same contents since they were made the same way | 08:32 |
| lifeless | shouldn't be uploading orig tarball anyway, unless its a new upstream release, and then it shouldn't already be in ubuntu. | 08:32 |
| jamesh | but you are uploading a different tarball with the same name? | 08:32 |
| gnomefreak | jamesh: yes until i find a way to get the upload without uploading tarball as it failed when i tried it a month ago or so | 08:33 |
| jamesh | gnomefreak: how would you store both versions of the package in the same archive then? | 08:33 |
| gnomefreak | they have the same contents they were made with same script | 08:33 |
| gnomefreak | jamesh: the tarball should get overwrote with new upload | 08:34 |
| gnomefreak | if you upload a new tarball | 08:34 |
| jamesh | wouldn't that break the MD5 sums from the old .dsc then? | 08:34 |
| gnomefreak | why would it care about old .dsc since im uploading a new one | 08:35 |
| gnomefreak | once again it should be overwritten | 08:35 |
| gnomefreak | http://pastebin.mozilla.org/223970 from that output why would PPA give a damn about ppa1 at all | 08:36 |
| gnomefreak | it has no reason to compare the 2 releases | 08:36 |
| jamesh | gnomefreak: why can't you use the old orig.tar.gz for the new package? | 08:37 |
| jamesh | gnomefreak: it seems like a problem with your process | 08:37 |
| gnomefreak | jamesh: because it was borked | 08:37 |
| jamesh | okay then. Upload a different tarball with a different name | 08:37 |
| gnomefreak | ppa1 failed to build | 08:37 |
| jamesh | gnomefreak: wouldn't that just require a different .diff.gz? | 08:38 |
| lifeless | gnomefreak: ppa's act like a normal archive. | 08:38 |
| gnomefreak | so your telling me ppa doesnt overwrite existing if you upload another tarball? | 08:38 |
| lifeless | gnomefreak: exactly. | 08:38 |
| jamesh | gnomefreak: if you have 5 versions of a package in the archive based on the same pristine tarball, the pristine tarball is stored once | 08:39 |
| gnomefreak | why wouldnt it? in that case maybe have PPA check to see if tarball are same name and not push it with dput | 08:39 |
| lifeless | gnomefreak: dput only pushes it if you tell it too or it thinks its an initial upload. | 08:39 |
| gnomefreak | so tell me how to upload everything but tarball | 08:39 |
| lifeless | gnomefreak: #ubuntu-motu might be a better channel for this | 08:40 |
| * jamesh is not sure why the .orig.tar.gz is changing on gnomefreak's machine | 08:40 | |
| gnomefreak | jamesh: i had to remake it | 08:40 |
| gnomefreak | the first one is borked thats why ppa1 failed to build | 08:40 |
| jamesh | so it was a partial upload or something? | 08:41 |
| gnomefreak | i had to remake it and since this is going in official archives i cant change name of tarball | 08:41 |
| gnomefreak | no | 08:41 |
| gnomefreak | the first tarball was made incorrectly by rules file hence borked so i needed to upload new one. | 08:42 |
| gnomefreak | oh and dput doesnt seem to have a way to leave tarball out of push | 08:43 |
| gnomefreak | so by dput'ing the sources.changes is always gonna grab tarball sitting there | 08:43 |
| gnomefreak | Lp admins still cant remove packages from PPA right? | 08:55 |

| saifi | does anybody know how to assign a team to a project ? I have created a team and I have also created a project. now i want to assign the team to that project, how do i accomplish that ? | 15:01 |
| mwhudson | saifi: what do you intend to accomplish by this association? | 15:01 |
| saifi | make the team a part of the project. | 15:02 |
| mwhudson | and what would that imply? | 15:02 |
| mwhudson | saifi: you can set the team to be bug contact for the project | 15:02 |
| mwhudson | which means the team would be automatically subscribed to all bugs | 15:02 |
| saifi | ok | 15:03 |
| mwhudson | and there's something similar for answers and translations | 15:03 |
| saifi | what i understood from the documentation is that the team can be made the driver of the project. | 15:03 |
| saifi | team members can play different roles depending on the tasks at hand. | 15:03 |
| mwhudson | oh, driver can bet set in the projects +edit form, i think | 15:04 |
| saifi | ok so while I am logged in as team admin, I visit the project page which I created, is that what you are implying ? | 15:05 |
| mwhudson | yes | 15:05 |
| saifi | this looks a little strange. | 15:07 |
| saifi | the society registered a project and created a team. | 15:07 |
| saifi | https://launchpad.net/%7Etwincling | 15:07 |
| saifi | and the project is at https://launchpad.net/fabio/ | 15:08 |
| saifi | but the project page does not show the project being registered by it. Instead it shows it as being registered by one of the members ! | 15:08 |
| saifi | so while TWINCLING is the Driver, it is not the owner. which is not correct. | 15:09 |
| kiko | saifi, the registrant can change the owner. | 15:12 |
| kiko | saifi, who registered '/fabio'? | 15:12 |
| saifi | twincling registered fabio on 6/10 | 15:13 |
| saifi | today sumit registered as a user as we are starting work. | 15:13 |
| saifi | and now it shows him as the person who registered it. | 15:14 |
| kiko | no. | 15:15 |
| kiko | saifi, that's not possible. teams can't register projects. | 15:15 |
| kiko | what happened is that sumit registered that project | 15:15 |
| kiko | and he needs to reassign it to the team now, if that's what you want. | 15:16 |

| mrevell | Kmos: I can't find a package called vodovod | 17:06 |
| Kmos | mrevell: it exists | 17:08 |
| Kmos | hmm.. maybe it doesn't exist | 17:08 |
| Kmos | apt-cache show vodovod don't show anything? i'm not at linux now | 17:09 |
| Kmos | i need to request it | 17:10 |
| Hobbsee | well, it doesnt appear to exist, so attempting to get a page of a project that doesnt exist is futile. | 17:11 |
| Kmos | it will be in hardy =) | 17:18 |
| Hobbsee | if it gets packaged, and passes qa, yes. | 17:20 |
| qense | what group do you have to be a memfer from in order to set the importance of launchpad bugs? | 17:26 |
| Kmos | Hobbsee: it's on debian =) | 17:27 |
| Kmos | bbl | 17:30 |
| qense | Isn't that team the launchpad-bugs team? How do you become a member? | 17:32 |
| qense | anyone? Is there no one who knows the answer, despite so many are online? | 17:35 |
| intellectronica | qense: what are you trying to do? | 17:35 |
| qense | I would really like to help with launchpad, with bugs(solving them, triaging them) or with other things | 17:36 |
| qense | I am already a member of the beta testers | 17:36 |
| intellectronica | qense: unfortunately, the launchpad team doesn't accept outside members, but you are, of course, more than welcome to help with reporting, commenting, etc'... | 17:39 |
| qense | ok | 17:39 |
| qense | I'll try to help as much as possible | 17:39 |
| Hobbsee | qense: you need to be a part of ubuntu-qa (or whatever it's been renamed to now). see #ubuntu-bugs for more info. | 17:40 |
| qense | I applied for them | 17:40 |
| qense | it's now ubuntu-bugcontrol | 17:40 |
| === flacoste is now known as flacoste_lunch | ||
| ddaa | Hobbsee: I think qense did mean "Launchpad the project", not Ubuntu. | 17:41 |
| Hobbsee | ah yes, that's right | 17:41 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: oh, whoops. | 17:41 |
| qense | :) | 17:41 |
| Hobbsee | so he did. ignore me then. | 17:41 |
| ddaa | np, I imagine lots of users do not make the distinction | 17:41 |
| ddaa | like those whole file tickets on launchpad about ubuntu installation problems... | 17:42 |
| Hobbsee | yeah, well. that's probably because people dont read. | 17:42 |
| qense | A lot of people don't know launchpad can be used for other projects too | 17:42 |
| ddaa | People do not read. | 17:42 |
| Hobbsee | i've taken to pasting the entire team description in the declination letter, for one of my teams now. | 17:42 |
| ddaa | That's rule 0 of UI design. | 17:42 |
| Hobbsee | yeah well. | 17:42 |
| ddaa | I think rule 1 is something like "I mean, they REALLY do not read" | 17:43 |
| ddaa | and rule 2 is "But they'll complain if there's no documentation not to read." | 17:43 |
| Hobbsee | i'm pondering changing the team to moderated, and saying "if you want membership, please email me at foo@bar, and tell me in a sentence who this team is for" | 17:43 |
| Hobbsee | i've had around 6 people so far, in the past few days, who havent read the team description before attempting to join. | 17:43 |
| ddaa | Launchpad should support this kind of workflow (so you do not have to another communication channel) | 17:44 |
| ddaa | but I can only agree with the idea, I have seen people joining teams for the "strangest" reasons. | 17:44 |
| ddaa | Like, people not realizing how launchpad is not facebook... | 17:45 |
| ddaa | or people collecting team badges | 17:45 |
| Hobbsee | mmm....badges. | 17:46 |
| qense | what team do you moderate hobbsee? | 17:46 |
| qense | By the way, can you already merge your forum account whit the one in launchpad? I don't know how to test it whn you can't merge | 17:47 |
| qense | I use another account on the forum with a different username | 17:47 |
| Hobbsee | geser: ubuntu-universe-sponsors | 17:47 |
| ddaa | I believe forums are completely separate from launchpad | 17:48 |
| ddaa | actually, canonical has nothing to do at all with the forums, it's purely a community initiatitev. | 17:48 |
| qense | I heard something about a merge with the forum accounts | 17:49 |
| geser | Hobbsee: what about u-u-s? | 17:49 |
| qense | I don't rememeber the feature specification, I'll look for it | 17:49 |
| ddaa | That's something that may happen in the future, but it's not an issue at the moment. | 17:49 |
| ddaa | i.e. you do not need to worry about it | 17:49 |
| Hobbsee | geser: the number of people who cant damned well read. | 17:49 |
| Hobbsee | right. fixed. https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-universe-sponsors | 17:50 |
| Hobbsee | geser: do you think that will stop people? ^ | 17:51 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: think i'll have more luck with that? | 17:53 |
| ddaa | Purest Hobbsee style. | 17:54 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: yeah, well. | 17:54 |
| ddaa | Did you learn interpersonal skills on lkml? :) | 17:54 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: iv'e done more than enough retail to know how stupid people are. | 17:54 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: did you know, i had a guy who didnt understand the concept of per-kilo measurements, for fruit? | 17:55 |
| ddaa | We have plenty of smart people at he company who don't. | 17:55 |
| ddaa | They won't only talk pounds and ounces. | 17:55 |
| ddaa | s/won't/will/ | 17:56 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: he didnt get the concept that it was not all a flat price, no matter if he bought 2 tomatoes, or 20. | 17:56 |
| ScottK | Hobbsee: Dunno. I think so non-MOTUs might feel all rejected and stuff. | 17:56 |
| jkakar | This seems to be spinning forever doing nothing: bzr merge https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~jamesh/storm/reconnect | 17:57 |
| Hobbsee | ScottK: if they cant read a description, they won't get far when dealing with problems that they encounter, so... | 17:57 |
| jkakar | Am I doing something wrong? | 17:57 |
| ddaa | TBH, I have idea what this team is for. | 17:57 |
| Hobbsee | jkakar: you're probably missing a dot. | 17:57 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: read the description. :) | 17:57 |
| ddaa | The description gives some information about what it is not. | 17:57 |
| * ScottK forgot </kidding> | 17:57 | |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: This team is restricted to developers - if you have questions, please ask in #ubuntu-motu on IRC or ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com. | 17:57 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: it seems that isnt clear enough? | 17:57 |
| jkakar | Hobbsee: Uh. What?! :) | 17:57 |
| geser | Hobbsee: does this 90 days expiry for u-u-s only apply to new members? | 17:58 |
| ddaa | Hobbsee: you mean "If you want to know what this team is for, ask in #ubuntu-motu, on IRC or..." ? | 17:58 |
| Hobbsee | jkakar: oh, seems that you don't need to supply both merge dirs. | 17:58 |
| jkakar | Hobbsee: Right. I'm running that in a working tree, so the merge-into dir is implicit. | 17:58 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: first half of it, i was thinking mroe. | 17:59 |
| Hobbsee | although, technically, they could all be developers. | 17:59 |
| Hobbsee | geser: unsure. i think it's everyone. | 17:59 |
| jkakar | The weird thing is that Bazaar doesn't show any progress indicator and doesn't respond to C-c. I eventually have to C-\ to kill it. | 17:59 |
| === barry is now known as barry-lunch | ||
| ddaa | Hobbsee: okay it's a team for developers, but it does not tell me what it is for. | 17:59 |
| === barry-lunch is now known as barry-away | ||
| geser | Hobbsee: https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-universe-sponsors/+members lists an expiry date only for recent members, the most people don't have one | 18:00 |
| ddaa | Maybe, just maybe, was the communication problem was one of an unclear description of the team? | 18:00 |
| Hobbsee | geser: hmm, fair enough. | 18:00 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: perhaps. | 18:00 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: it's for sponsorship of patches for universe and multiverse | 18:00 |
| Hobbsee | (and is documented in w.u.c/UbuntuDevelopment | 18:01 |
| Hobbsee | ) | 18:01 |
| ddaa | I think the important things to answer would be something like: | 18:01 |
| ddaa | "What would you join this team" | 18:01 |
| jkakar | Huh, weird. I did s/http/https/ on the URL and it worked. | 18:01 |
| ddaa | "What email will you receive if you are a member of this team" | 18:01 |
| jkakar | It would be nice if it spewed an error message, or even better just did the right thing. I wonder if this is an LP or Bazaar issue. | 18:02 |
| ddaa | "What are our requirements for accepting members." | 18:02 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: hm, true. | 18:02 |
| ddaa | In the degenerate case, it can be something as simple as "If you do not know what this team is for, it is not for you." | 18:03 |
| Hobbsee | ddaa: i think that they do think they know what the team is for. | 18:04 |
| Hobbsee | that's the weird thing. | 18:04 |
| ddaa | Maybe it's "This team offers sponsoring for the 'universe' and 'multiverse' components of the archive." | 18:05 |
| ddaa | It's very easy to read as "Join this team if you want to be sponsored." | 18:06 |
| Hobbsee | hm | 18:06 |
| * Hobbsee clarifies it somewhat | 18:07 | |

| daniel_ki | hi | 20:47 |
| daniel_ki | It appears that the ppa builder doesn't take build dependencies into account. Is that right? | 20:48 |
| daniel_ki | When deciding on the order to build packages in, that is. | 20:48 |
| kiko | daniel_ki, it has some intelligence, but not too much yet. | 20:53 |
| kiko | i.e. it scores packages with less dependencies first | 20:53 |
| daniel_ki | dang | 20:53 |
| daniel_ki | So I'll need to update the packages one of another, waiting for the build to finish in between, right? | 20:54 |
| daniel_ki | s/of/after/ | 20:54 |
| mpt | Gooooooooooooooooood morning Launchpadders! | 20:59 |
| daniel_ki | maybe a simple fix would be to take the dput order into account, e.g. by checking the file modification time | 21:00 |
