[07:22] <gQuig1> is this where I should post for guidance with getting a blueprint accepted?   (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/no-mono-by-default)  Need to know what to do next
[07:23] <Fujitsu> gQuig1: #ubuntu-devel is likely better.
[07:23] <Fujitsu> However, the chance of having that blueprint acted on is rather slim indeed.
[07:23] <gQuig1> Fujitsu: that's ok, thanks

[11:35] <soren> If I have a project on sourceforge, I want to move to launchpad (code is already done, so I guess it's just bug import), who do I ask? 
[11:36] <BjornT> soren: jamesh would be a good person to talk to
[11:37] <jamesh> hi Soren.  What project is it?
[11:37] <soren> libmms
[11:38] <soren> I've been negelcting it bigtime, because I'm fed up with sourceforge and *shudder* cvs.
[11:41] <soren> jamesh: We'll want to do a new release from sourceforge before the move, so not quite yet, but probably before christmas.
[11:41] <Peng> They're that bad?
[11:41] <soren> Who? Sourceforge?
[11:41] <Fujitsu> SF is shocking, really.
[11:42] <Fujitsu> Malone is like heaven compared to it.
[11:42]  * ddaa gives soren hug
[11:42] <ddaa> it's goin to be okay, cvs is not gonna hurt you anymore
[11:42] <soren> It's slow, the bug tracker is a complete and utter nightmare, and it forces me to use cvs (or svn, but the difference is really only that big).
[11:42]  * soren cries at ddaa's shoulder
[11:43] <Fujitsu> SVN is much better than CVS, but still not terrific...
[11:43] <soren> Fujitsu: svn never really impressed me much compared to cvs. I find the improvements to be skin deep.
[11:44] <soren> There are still people today who switch from cvs to svn.. I just don't get it.
[11:44] <ddaa> it's a bit unfair to call atomic commit, and branches that perform sanely "skin deep"
[11:45] <ddaa> to checkout a branch in cvs data model, you need to start from the HEAD, walk down to the branch point applying delta in reverse, then walk up to branch tip applying deltas forward
[11:45] <Fujitsu> Sounds lovely.
[11:46] <soren> I wouldn't refer to svn's approach to branches as "sane".
[11:46] <ddaa> the performance is sane
[11:47] <jamesh> soren: is there any particular reason you want to wait before migrating?
[11:47] <ddaa> but really, the main killer reason to switch  to svn from cvs is atomic commits
[11:48] <jamesh> ddaa: current versions of cvs have atomic commits
[11:48] <soren> jamesh: Another contributor really, really wanted to get a new release out the door real soon, so not forcing him to learn new tools to do so at this point would be a good thing.
[11:48] <jamesh> soren: ah.
[11:48] <ddaa> jamesh: I'm curious about the extent to which it actually work
[11:48] <ddaa> I know they do record commit ids
[11:48] <jamesh> soren: I can perform an import on our demo server tomorrow if that'd help
[11:48] <ddaa> but that not nearly enough
[11:49] <jamesh> (we generally do that before migrations anyway, to make sure everything works)
[11:49] <soren> jamesh: If it's not a lot of trouble, that could be cool. We could see if everything worked out and then do the real move in a week or two?
[11:49] <jamesh> okay
[11:49] <soren> "demo server" == staging?
[11:49] <soren> dogfood?
[11:50] <jamesh> soren: nope.  "demo server" == https://demo.launchpad.net/
[11:50] <jamesh> the staging database gets wiped every day, so isn't so good for demos
[11:50] <soren> Hm.. I don't think I've seen that before.
[11:51] <jamesh> and dogfood is really the soyuz guys' sandbox
[11:51] <soren> Yes, that's what I thought :) I just hadn't heard of demo.lp.net before.
[11:51] <soren> If I did, I forgot.
[11:52] <jamesh> it isn't something we advertise
[11:52] <soren> Sure.
[11:53] <soren> jamesh: Ok, so you'll ping me at some point when you've done your magic? There's no rush right now.
[11:53] <jamesh> yep
[11:53] <jamesh> looks like there's hardly any bugs, so it should be really quick
[11:53] <soren> Yeah, surely <50. Probably <20, too :)
[11:54] <jamesh> there are 9
[11:54] <soren> *g*.
[11:55] <jamesh> soren: one thing that'd be worth doing before the migration is to add your shawarma@users.sourceforge.net email to your Launchpad account
[11:55] <soren> jamesh: Will do.
[11:55] <jamesh> it is possible to merge the duplicate person afterwards, but this saves the hassle
[11:56] <soren> Sure. I'm on it.
[11:57] <soren> Done.

[19:01] <gspr> I have a question regarding packaging versioning, but I'll ask it here since it specifically relates to a PPA package. Say I take a Debian package foo-1.2.3-1 and make a slight modification to the source. Should I call it foo-1.2.3-1-ubuntu1~ppa1? Or foo-1.2.3-1~ppa1? Or neither? I know it doesn't matter, but I'd like to follow the proper conventions.

[20:22] <bullgard4> dennda: I am preparing an error report for Launchpad.  
[20:23] <dennda> ah well, I think you are wrong here then. You would come here if launchpad *itself* had a bug. That is, if launchpad.net was not loading for some reason or something like that

[21:03] <BjornT> Fujitsu: well, sort of. it will be turned on partly, meaning that we will display notices in the ui, and provide a report of bug reports that are marked for expiration.
[21:03] <BjornT> Fujitsu: we won't actually expire any bugs, though. we want to see how it works, and give people a chance of cleaning up the bugs first.
[21:04] <Fujitsu> Ah, that sounds good.
[21:04] <Fujitsu> Much, much better than the way it was done last time..
[21:05] <BjornT> yes, the last time was a mistake. we didn't think it would have such an impact, but we learn from our mistakes.

[21:11] <Fujitsu> Ubulette: Good, so not on LP. Those feeds are currently controlled by Seveas, but will soon (hopefully I'll get around to doing it tonight) be within my control on UbuntuWire, so I can fix it then.
[21:11] <Fujitsu> In the meantime, it only affects those sourcepackagereleases that have epochs.
[21:19] <gspr> I was wondering, when should I use a tilde version for a package? I see the PPA quickstart recommends ~ppaN for PPA packages. Let's say I take a Hardy package and only change it to belong to Gutsy, and put it in my PPA. Should I then call it foo-x.y.z~gutsy1~ppa1 or what?
[21:20] <gspr> What are the guidelines for ~version?
[21:20] <Fujitsu> There are no official guidelines that I know of.
[21:20] <Fujitsu> That versioning is probably OK, however.
[21:21] <Fujitsu> In fact, it's probably the ideal format for that situation.
[21:24] <gspr> ok
[21:24] <Ubulette> ~ is lower than anything else, it's important
[21:24] <Ubulette> foo-x.y.z~gutsy1~ppa1 < foo-x.y.z~gutsy1 < foo-x.y.z
[21:25] <gspr> wow, really? I didn't know that
[21:25] <gspr> but foo-x.y.z < foo-x.y.z-w, right?
[21:25] <Ubulette> correct
[21:25] <gspr> ok, so ~ behaves differently - that's very interesting
[21:25] <gspr> thanks
[21:26] <Ubulette> it's a way to prefer the official versions
[21:26] <gspr> I hear one can delete PPA packages by requesting it manually. Who can I talk to?
[21:26] <gspr> Ubulette: Yeah, I see. I was actually wondering how to do that :)
[21:36] <Ubulette> gspr, to delete something from your ppa, you'd better file a question on LP
[21:38] <gspr> Ubulette: OK
[22:34] <dennda> Is launchpad capable of having a mailing list for a project?

[22:47] <_polto_> thanks
[22:48] <_polto_> uhh... it's not a meta-package ..
[22:48] <_polto_> what is ubuntu-meta ?
[22:48] <stdin> _polto_: it's the source package for ubuntu-standard, ubuntu-desktop etc, meta-kde is another good example of one
[22:50] <_polto_> thanks!
[23:18] <nealmcb> there's lots of buzz today on the ubuntu-us list about  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ColombianTeam/ColombianTeamAnalysis and the simple python program (linked from there) that produced it.  Is there a good place for that sort of script to go, like some sort of launchpad utils project?  Or e.g. as part of the bughelper project?
[23:18] <nealmcb> and questions coming up about the launchpad api, as might be predicted :-)
[23:57] <mpt> nealmcb, you could put it on help.launchpad.net I think
