aa_hi, I can't find complete docs on the XMLRPC, it seems that it can't be used to retrieve bug data, is that correct?02:14

ubotuIt's a weekend.  Often on weekends, the paid developers, and a lot of the community, may not be around to answer your question.  Please be patient, wait longer than you normally would, or try again during the working week.02:53
Odd_Blokeaa_: ^02:53
Odd_BlokeI'm afraid I don't know.02:53
aa_Odd_Bloke: thanks, it's ok though I just wanted an example for a blog post03:04

Hobbes`Is it normal/acceptable for someone to be Drafter , Assignee and Mentor for a blueprint on launchpad ? 07:37
mdkeHobbes`: I think it depends on the project rather than on Launchpad policy08:15
Hobbes`it doesn't sound logical that someone can be their own "mentor" 08:18
mdkeI agree08:22
* Hobbsee wishes launchpad did redirects08:24
FujitsuHobbsee: Redirects to/from what?08:24
HobbseeFujitsu: lp.net/~ubuntu-qa, to whatever it is now08:24
FujitsuAh.08:24
philiKONdoes anybody know how i would change the "current development focus" from one series to another?08:52
FujitsuphiliKON: It's a filed near the bottom of the /yourproject/+edit08:53
Fujitsu*field08:53
philiKONi see08:53
philiKONman, the launchpad UI needs some streamlining08:53
philiKONit's very counter-intuitive08:53
mdkephiliKON: filing bugs is the best way to help with that08:54

jimcooncatRead the help and still don't get it -- is there a step-by-step guide to starting and managing my own project?11:33
jimcooncatI just want to make a simple conversion tool -- generate a UUID and convert it's value to a more useful format.11:35
Odd_Blokejimcooncat: Assuming this isn't an existing project, you create a project at https://launchpad.net/projects/+new11:41
jimcooncatOdd_Bloke: Once I do that, will it be obvious how to get started? I need revision control and a repository for my little app11:42
Odd_Blokejimcooncat: Reasonably so.  You'll need to install bzr if you don't already have it.11:42
jimcooncatOdd_Bloke: Where I'm starting from scratch, would it make sense to start with hello world package and change that?11:44
Odd_Blokejimcooncat: I don't quite follow what you mean.11:45
jimcooncatOdd_Bloke: I can probably make a bash script do what I want to. But I need to make a package out of it, and don't know how. Maybe I should start with a generic package?11:46
Odd_Blokejimcooncat: What do you mean by 'package'?11:47
jimcooncatOdd_Bloke: deb file with dependencies. For example, I need to generate a UUID, so I need ext2 tools.11:47
Odd_Blokejimcooncat: OK, a Debian/Ubuntu package?11:48
jimcooncatOdd_Bloke: Yes, sorry if I wasn't clear. I've read all the docs, and the process seems muddy -- I don't want to become a dd or MOTU.11:49
Odd_Blokejimcooncat: OK, this isn't really the channel to ask this in.11:49
Hobbseeyou're doing packaging, or you're making an app?11:49
Odd_BlokeSimply because people won't know. :p11:49
jimcooncatHobbsee, I want to make a simple package from a bash script with dependencies, I want revision control on it, I want community feedback. 11:50
Hobbseeright11:51
jimcooncatI'm just confused by the documentation. I really need a step-by-step on packaging, bzr, and launchpad.11:51
Odd_BlokeLP can do the latter two.  It can also build and host the first.  You still need to know how to package your thing independant of LP though.11:52
Hobbseeso, to create the project and use the revision control, you want the launchpad stuff.  if you want users to compile it, then they can just report bugs with launchapd, and you can ignroe the packaging11:52
Hobbseeif you want to make it into a nice deb for them, you need the packaging guide11:52
jimcooncatOK, so should I concentrate on packaging up a deb first, or get bzr set up first, or set up a Launchpad branch first?11:53
Hobbseethe latter11:53
Hobbseeyou need the code done, before trying to package it11:53
jimcooncatOK, so for the first version I can just make a very simple batch script, that just calls uuidgen and spits out the value. I'll do my conversion portion later.11:57
jimcooncatI guess I should just get started and try to learn, but I was really hoping for more of a guide.11:58
Hobbseewiki.ubuntu.com/Bzr is the bzr one12:01
Hobbseei thought it was linked from bzr docs - or something similar12:01
jimcooncatSorry Hobbsee, that is what I need. Captain Obvious strikes again! 12:04
Hobbsee:)12:04
Hobbseethat' sthe ubuntu one, but the generic one shoudlnt be that different12:04
jimcooncatThanks for your time, guys.12:05
