[00:00] <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
[00:05] <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
[00:19] <LeRoutier> ddaa, https://edge.launchpad.net/swfdec/ now fully branded, driver & bug contacts filled. All links & descriptions fixed. Thanks for the help
[00:20] <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.
[00:21] <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.
[00:22] <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

[06:57] <thumper> lifeless: I'm pinot gris'ed
[06:57] <thumper> not sure I could run out of a paper bag today

[06:58] <thumper> lunch at 5pm?

[07:00]  * thumper has taken the liberty of renaming it
[07:00] <thumper> == Agenda ==
[07:00] <thumper>  * Roll call
[07:00] <thumper>  * Next meeting
[07:00] <thumper>  * Action items
[07:00] <thumper>  * Queue status
[07:00] <thumper>  * The 'needs mentoring' flag
[07:00] <thumper>  * Mentoring update
[07:00] <thumper> so
[07:00] <thumper> * Roll call
[07:00] <thumper> BjornT: ping
[07:00] <thumper> jamesh: ping
[07:00] <thumper> spiv: ping
[07:00] <jamesh> hi
[07:01] <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
[07:02] <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
[07:03] <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
[07:04] <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
[07:05] <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
[07:06] <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* ?
[07:07] <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?
[07:08] <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.
[07:09] <thumper> spiv: when you've caught up, how's the mentoring going?
[07:09] <spiv> It's going well.
[07:10] <thumper> good
[07:10] <spiv> It's going smoothly enough that I don't have any issues to raise :)

[07:11]  * 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?
[07:12] <thumper> personally I don't like it as I have it showing up red
[07:13] <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
[07:14] <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
[07:15] <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
[07:16] <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"
[07:17] <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...
[07:18] <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'
[07:19] <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.
[07:20] <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
[07:21] <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)
[07:22] <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.
[07:23] <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
[07:24] <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] <spiv> No other business from me.
[07:25] <thumper> ok, I'll get the minutes out tomorrow morning (I'm done)

[07:55] <ubotu> New bug: #156118 in launchpad "Launchpad lists packages which are not available in a specific release" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/156118
[08:18] <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)
[08:19] <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.
[08:31] <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
[08:32]  * 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?
[08:33] <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
[08:34] <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?
[08:35] <gnomefreak> why would it care about old .dsc since im uploading a new one
[08:35] <gnomefreak> once again it should be overwritten
[08:36] <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
[08:37] <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 
[08:38] <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.
[08:39] <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
[08:40] <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
[08:41] <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
[08:42] <gnomefreak> the first tarball was made incorrectly by rules file hence borked so i needed to upload new one.
[08:43] <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
[08:55] <gnomefreak> Lp admins still cant remove packages from PPA right?

[15:00] <saifi> hi all
[15:01] <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?
[15:02] <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
[15:03] <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.
[15:04] <mwhudson> oh, driver can bet set in the projects +edit form, i think
[15:05] <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
[15:07] <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
[15:08] <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 !
[15:09] <saifi> so while TWINCLING is the Driver, it is not the owner. which is not correct.
[15:12] <kiko> saifi, the registrant can change the owner.
[15:12] <kiko> saifi, who registered '/fabio'?
[15:13] <saifi> twincling registered fabio on 6/10
[15:13] <saifi> today sumit registered as a user as we are starting work.
[15:14] <saifi> and now it shows him as the person who registered it.
[15:15] <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
[15:16] <kiko> and he needs to reassign it to the team now, if that's what you want.

[17:09] <Kmos> apt-cache show vodovod don't show anything? i'm not at linux now
[17:10] <Kmos> i need to request it
[17:11] <Hobbsee> well, it doesnt appear to exist, so attempting to get a page of a project that doesnt exist is futile.
[17:18] <Kmos> it will be in hardy =)
[17:20] <Hobbsee> if it gets packaged, and passes qa, yes.
[17:26] <qense> what group do you have to be a memfer from in order to set the importance of launchpad bugs?
[17:27] <Kmos> Hobbsee: it's on debian =)
[17:30] <Kmos> bbl
[17:32] <qense> Isn't that team the launchpad-bugs team? How do you become a member? 
[17:35] <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?
[17:36] <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
[17:39] <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
[17:40] <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
[17:41] <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
[17:42] <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.
[17:43] <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.
[17:44] <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.
[17:45] <ddaa> Like, people not realizing how launchpad is not facebook...
[17:45] <ddaa> or people collecting team badges
[17:46] <Hobbsee> mmm....badges.
[17:46] <qense> what team do you moderate hobbsee?
[17:47] <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
[17:48] <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.
[17:49] <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.
[17:50] <Hobbsee> right.  fixed. https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-universe-sponsors
[17:51] <Hobbsee> geser: do you think that will stop people?  ^
[17:53] <Hobbsee> ddaa: think i'll have more luck with that?
[17:54] <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.
[17:55] <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.
[17:56] <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.
[17:57] <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?! :)
[17:58] <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.
[17:59] <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] <ddaa> Hobbsee: okay it's a team for developers, but it does not tell me what it is for.
[18:00] <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
[18:01] <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"
[18:02] <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.
[18:03] <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."
[18:04] <Hobbsee> ddaa: i think that they do think they know what the team is for.
[18:04] <Hobbsee> that's the weird thing.
[18:05] <ddaa> Maybe it's "This team offers sponsoring for the 'universe' and 'multiverse' components of the archive."
[18:06] <ddaa> It's very easy to read as "Join this team if you want to be sponsored."
[18:06] <Hobbsee> hm
[18:07]  * Hobbsee clarifies it somewhat

[20:20] <nxi> I'm looking for info on launchpad's xmlrpc api, anyone got a link to documentation,  or example usage?
[20:22] <kiko> nxi, https://help.launchpad.net/MaloneXMLRPC
[20:23] <nxi> yep, I found that one but thats only for filing bugs right? is it also possible to query info of existing ones?
[20:28] <kiko> nxi, not at the moment. there used to be an interface that worked and (though it exported only bug IDs) but that broken
[20:28] <kiko> broke.
[20:31] <nxi> ow ok, thats too bad
[20:47] <daniel_ki> hi
[20:48] <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.
[20:53] <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
[20:54] <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/
[20:59] <mpt> Gooooooooooooooooood morning Launchpadders!
[21:00] <daniel_ki> maybe a simple fix would be to take the dput order into account, e.g. by checking the file modification time
[21:01] <daniel_ki> moin mpt!
[21:03] <kiko> morning mpt help
[21:07] <mpt> kiko, you need help?
[21:08] <kiko> mpt, yes, review my patch :)
[21:08] <mpt> ok
[21:50] <LaserJock> hi kiko 
[21:51] <ajmitch> LaserJock: well done with the edubuntu session :)
[21:51] <LaserJock> ajmitch: pfft
[21:51] <LaserJock> just tried to manage the chaos ;-)
[21:52] <ajmitch> saved the day, you mean
[21:53] <LaserJock> and here I thought I'd get through an Open Week without doing a session ;-)
