[02:14] <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?
[02:53] <Odd_Bloke> !weekend
[02:53] <ubotu> It'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_Bloke> aa_: ^
[02:53] <Odd_Bloke> I'm afraid I don't know.
[03:04] <aa_> Odd_Bloke: thanks, it's ok though I just wanted an example for a blog post
[03:04] <aa_> Odd_Bloke: http://unpythonic.blogspot.com/2007/11/desktop-widgets-with-pygtk-launchpad.html if you care
[07:37] <Hobbes`> Is it normal/acceptable for someone to be Drafter , Assignee and Mentor for a blueprint on launchpad ? 
[08:15] <mdke> Hobbes`: I think it depends on the project rather than on Launchpad policy
[08:18] <Hobbes`> it doesn't sound logical that someone can be their own "mentor" 
[08:22] <mdke> I agree
[08:24]  * Hobbsee wishes launchpad did redirects
[08:24] <Fujitsu> Hobbsee: Redirects to/from what?
[08:24] <Hobbsee> Fujitsu: lp.net/~ubuntu-qa, to whatever it is now
[08:24] <Fujitsu> Ah.
[08:52] <philiKON> does anybody know how i would change the "current development focus" from one series to another?
[08:53] <Fujitsu> philiKON: It's a filed near the bottom of the /yourproject/+edit
[08:53] <Fujitsu> *field
[08:53] <philiKON> i see
[08:53] <philiKON> man, the launchpad UI needs some streamlining
[08:53] <philiKON> it's very counter-intuitive
[08:54] <mdke> philiKON: filing bugs is the best way to help with that
[08:54] <philiKON> cool
[08:54] <philiKON> i will
[11:33] <jimcooncat> Read the help and still don't get it -- is there a step-by-step guide to starting and managing my own project?
[11:35] <jimcooncat> I just want to make a simple conversion tool -- generate a UUID and convert it's value to a more useful format.
[11:41] <Odd_Bloke> jimcooncat: Assuming this isn't an existing project, you create a project at https://launchpad.net/projects/+new
[11:42] <jimcooncat> Odd_Bloke: Once I do that, will it be obvious how to get started? I need revision control and a repository for my little app
[11:42] <Odd_Bloke> jimcooncat: Reasonably so.  You'll need to install bzr if you don't already have it.
[11:44] <jimcooncat> Odd_Bloke: Where I'm starting from scratch, would it make sense to start with hello world package and change that?
[11:45] <Odd_Bloke> jimcooncat: I don't quite follow what you mean.
[11:46] <jimcooncat> Odd_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?
[11:47] <Odd_Bloke> jimcooncat: What do you mean by 'package'?
[11:47] <jimcooncat> Odd_Bloke: deb file with dependencies. For example, I need to generate a UUID, so I need ext2 tools.
[11:48] <Odd_Bloke> jimcooncat: OK, a Debian/Ubuntu package?
[11:49] <jimcooncat> Odd_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_Bloke> jimcooncat: OK, this isn't really the channel to ask this in.
[11:49] <Hobbsee> you're doing packaging, or you're making an app?
[11:49] <Odd_Bloke> Simply because people won't know. :p
[11:50] <jimcooncat> Hobbsee, I want to make a simple package from a bash script with dependencies, I want revision control on it, I want community feedback. 
[11:51] <Hobbsee> right
[11:51] <jimcooncat> I'm just confused by the documentation. I really need a step-by-step on packaging, bzr, and launchpad.
[11:52] <Odd_Bloke> LP 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] <Hobbsee> so, 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 packaging
[11:52] <Hobbsee> if you want to make it into a nice deb for them, you need the packaging guide
[11:53] <jimcooncat> OK, 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] <Hobbsee> the latter
[11:53] <Hobbsee> you need the code done, before trying to package it
[11:57] <jimcooncat> OK, 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.
[11:58] <jimcooncat> I guess I should just get started and try to learn, but I was really hoping for more of a guide.
[12:01] <Hobbsee> wiki.ubuntu.com/Bzr is the bzr one
[12:01] <Hobbsee> i thought it was linked from bzr docs - or something similar
[12:04] <jimcooncat> Sorry Hobbsee, that is what I need. Captain Obvious strikes again! 
[12:04] <Hobbsee> :)
[12:04] <Hobbsee> that' sthe ubuntu one, but the generic one shoudlnt be that different
[12:05] <jimcooncat> Thanks for your time, guys.
[14:15] <ubotu> New bug: #160191 in launchpad "Redirection to edge logs out" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/160191
[17:21] <markybob> i'm trying to download language files from launchpad, but i havent been getting the emails that it claims i should be receiving with the download link.  it's a gmail account, i've checked the spam, and it's been over a day.  i've tried resubmitting it, but i still havent gotten anything.  is this known?  anyone else seeing it?
[19:42] <salty-horse> hi. has anyone else noticed email notification subject replacing spaces with tabs in the bug title?
[19:46] <pardus> Hi, anybody here who can help me getting translations enabled for my project? Translation file is pending for review for about a week or so.
[20:08] <mdke> pardus: maybe email the launchpad-users mailing list. There is a conference this week so it's possible you'll need to be patient
[20:10] <pardus> mdke: Ok, don't want to sound impatient but the administration seems kind of not responsive. Starting to wonder why tranlations need aproval when I can upload code without anyone checking it.

[23:21] <LaserJock> bah
[23:21] <LaserJock> that shouldn't excuse them from work ;-)
