rick_h_statik: (or anyone bored right now) I have some LP questions on what I need to do to get my PPAs to have the changelog in update manager for users?00:08
rick_h_I want to submit a bug, but not sure where it needs to go00:08

FujitsuNafallo: What about it?00:10
NafalloI'm pretty sure that branch is stuck.00:10
Nafallothere where a new release just about 2h ago.00:11
FujitsuOh, I see, 'tis rather out of date.00:11
Nafallonot by the main-tree though. but still. looking at trac there are changes just hours ago :-)00:12

Fujitsurick_h_: It would require significant changes to the way things work in Ubuntu, too.02:29
rick_h_ok, well I just had a couple of users hit me up with this as a bug so I wanted to push it to someone else :)02:30
rick_h_thanks for checking into it02:30

ddaaNafallo: this gajim thing is puzzling13:55
Nafalloddaa: oh?13:55
ddaaran three imports and saved the output tree each time13:55
ddaaand it looks like the error happened at different places each time13:56
ddaaI'm starting to suspect is not a problem with the svn data itself13:56
ddaabut more something like the quality of service on the server decreased at some point13:56
Nafalloddaa: yea. I agree. what happened around the date the failures began?13:57
ddaaand became insufficient to support the (extremely inefficient) way we talk to the svn server13:57
ddaaI can't know.13:57
ddaaThat would be something on the server side.13:57
Nafalloor network13:57
Nafalloif it still is timeouts that is...13:57
ddaanot in our network13:57
ddaathe "timeout" is something else than what you think13:57
Nafallooki13:58
ddaait's our import system that kills jobs when they show no progress for a long time13:58
ddaa(several hours)13:58
Nafalloaha13:58
ddaathe significant thing is that our connection gets closed on us at some seemingly random points13:58
ddaado you know who's sysadmining the svn.gajim.org machine?13:59
Nafalloddaa: yea. he doesn't look as to be online right now :-/14:00
ddaaMaybe he added something like a "flood protection" firewall rule about three weeks ago14:00
ddaaour svn import code makes a stupidly large number of sequential svn connections14:01
ddaa(that's arguably a bug in our code, but it's a hard one to fix)14:01
ddaaor maybe the machine's base load has increased over time14:02
NafalloI'll check with him when he gets online.14:02

threethirtyhello all17:30
threethirtyI am trying to import my pgp key into launchpad and frankly I'm confused17:32
pochuwhat's up?17:33
threethirtyI dont kow what the "key id" is17:33
threethirtyas in   2. Ensure the key has been uploaded to a keyserver. To do this:gpg --send-key key-id17:34
Nafallogpg --list-secret-keys will show17:34
threethirtyhere is what I get but I can't make heads or tails of it (never used encryption or PGP before)17:35
threethirtythree@Condor:~$  gpg --list-secret-keys17:35

lamont`hrm... build-queue-depth on edge/+builds should really separate out ppa from non-ppa, since the dispatch is also separated...17:40
lamont`threethirty: although you want to upload your public key, not your secret key...17:40
lamont`:-)17:41
threethirtylamont': I know in theory what you are talking about, but i have no useful knowledge, what key have I been uploading and how would i find that out17:43
lamont`threethirty: if you just said --export and didn't pass any options that include the word 'secret', then you're fine17:43
threethirtylamont`: the only command i ran with "secret" in it was gpg --list-secret-keys, and i haven't run a command that had --export in it at all, is that what I am missing?17:46
lamont`where are the instructions you're following?17:47
lamont`AFAIK, you would say: 'gpg --export --armor 437afc03' and then cut/paste that into the page on launchpad to upload your key17:47
threethirtylamomnt': https://launchpad.net/~threethirty/+editpgpkeys17:48
lamont`but it has been a while since I did that.17:48
threethirtylamont': i hope i never do this again17:48
lamont`ah.17:48
lamont`ok.17:48
lamont`so, since you've generated the key.17:48
lamont`gpg --send-key 437AFC0317:49
lamont`which should succeed17:49
lamont`then gpg --fingerprint 437AFC0317:49
lamont`and paste that output (as shown) into the nice box17:49
threethirtyjust the fingerprint or all of the output?17:50
lamont`just the fingerprint17:50
threethirtySCORE! ty17:50
lamont`np.  if you ever upload packages, you'll be using gpg.  ditto for signing codes of conduct, etc.17:51

Nafalloddaa: why aren't launchpad using this? :-)23:06
ddaaAs lifeless summed it up for me: because bzr-svn "is not 1.0 yet"23:07
Nafallolol23:07
ddaathere are some tricky issues involved with revision ids.23:07
ddaaThat makes bzr-svn suited for individual use, but problematic for a large scale hosted service such as Launchpad imports.23:08
