[01:50] <jjesse> i never remember these simple things, if there is a lock is bzr break-lock or force break-lock?
[01:57] <mwh> jjesse: that doesn't seem like an actual question
[01:59] <jjesse> mwh: if i get a locking problem, how do i break it?
[01:59] <jjesse> bzr force break-lock?
[01:59] <mwh> bzr break-lock
[01:59] <jjesse> do i have to be the one who has it locked?
[01:59] <mwh> uh, i don't think so
[02:00] <mwh> you need to be able to write to the branch
[02:00] <mwh> (but i'd hope that was obvious)
[02:00] <mwh> it may work better over sftp rather than bzr+ssh
[02:00] <jjesse> mwh: ok will try that
[02:38] <dcode> is there any plan to ever release the source of launchpad?  or is it to remain IP of Canonical?
[02:38] <dcode> sorry if that's a dupe...I didn't seem to be connected
[02:43] <Hobbsee> eventually, is the plan
[02:43] <dcode> okay....I wasn't looking for a date or anything....just the general idea of the plan
[02:44] <dcode> that's cool though....it's the cleanest project tool I've used to date by far...I love it

[07:20] <Laibsch> I am getted repeated rejects with "MD5 sum of uploaded file does not match existing file in archive. Files specified in DSC are broken or missing, skipping package unpack verification."
[07:20] <Laibsch> I verified the md5sums and everything is OK
[07:20] <Laibsch> What is the likely problem?
[07:20] <Laibsch> s/getted/getting/
[07:26] <stdin> Laibsch: have you uploaded anything to the repository (I'm guessing PPA?) before?
[07:27] <Hobbsee> Laibsch: is an .orig.tar.gz referenced in the source.changes?
[07:27] <Laibsch> stdin: yes
[07:27] <Laibsch> worked fine
[07:28] <Laibsch> https://launchpad.net/~r0lf/+archive
[07:28] <Laibsch> I deleted the failed packages now
[07:28] <stdin> Laibsch: are you trying to upload another version or the same one but for another version of ubuntu?
[07:28] <Laibsch> Hobbsee: I don't think so, let me check
[07:28] <Laibsch> stdin: this is about qemu
[07:29] <Laibsch> stdin: I had been trying for different version
[07:29] <Laibsch> s
[07:29] <Laibsch> Let me prepare the thing and put it up on a webserver so you guys can take a look
[07:29] <Hobbsee> Laibsch: which version of qemu are you uploading?
[07:31] <Laibsch> 0.9.1
[07:31] <Laibsch> but a patched version
[07:31] <Laibsch> http://oz.leggewie.org/wip/
[07:31] <Laibsch> the qemu stuff in there
[07:32] <stdin> what's the version in debian/changelog ?
[07:33] <Laibsch> stdin: http://oz.leggewie.org/wip/qemu_0.9.1-0oh1ubuntu1_source.changes
[07:33] <Laibsch> 0.9.1-0oh1ubuntu1
[07:33] <Laibsch> What I did to prepare this is "debchange && debuild -S && dput -f ../qemu*.changes"
[07:34] <stdin> ahh, you need "debuild -S -sa" to make sure the source is uploaded too
[07:34] <stdin> also, why -0oh1ubuntu1 ?
[07:34] <Hobbsee> stdin: it's native...
[07:34] <stdin> as opposed to  "-0ubuntu1~ppa1"
[07:35] <stdin> Hobbsee: ah, duh :P
[07:35] <Hobbsee> Laibsch: do you have a crappyconnection?
[07:36] <Laibsch> no
[07:36] <Laibsch> not at all
[07:37] <Laibsch> stdin: I am fairly new to packaging debs
[07:37] <Laibsch> ipks only so far ;-)
[07:37]  * Laibsch will try -sa
[07:37] <stdin> Laibsch: did you create an orig.tar.gz ?
[07:37] <Laibsch> no
[07:38] <Laibsch> there was none
[07:38] <Hobbsee> if it's native, there won't *be* an orig.tar.gz
[07:38] <Laibsch> what is native?
[07:38] <stdin> Hobbsee: it's not supposed to be native afaik
[07:38] <Hobbsee> stdin: by version number, though...
[07:42] <Laibsch> guys, what is native?
[07:42] <Laibsch> stdin: -sa is not documented in "man debuild"
[07:43] <stdin> Laibsch: "man dpkg-buildpackage"
[07:44] <stdin> debuild calls dpkg-buildpackage (amongst other things)
[07:46] <stdin> Laibsch: you need to move debian out of the qemu directory, then "mv qemu qemu-0.9.1" then make an orig.tar.gz "tar czf qemu_0.9.1.orig.tar.gz qemu-0.9.1" then move the debian dir back in and rebuild the package. a native package is one that is build for debian only, it has no .orig.tar.gz and no diff.gz
[07:47] <Laibsch> OK
[07:47] <Laibsch> Thanks for the explanation
[07:47] <stdin> you may also want to change the version, bacause -0oh1ubuntu1 won't be replaced by an official -0ubuntu1
[07:47] <Laibsch> I think I was kind of going for the native version even for non-native packages
[07:47] <stdin> it's a good idea to add "~ppa1" to the end too
[07:47] <Laibsch> Uploading the complete source makes sure it is available ;-)
[07:48] <stdin> Laibsch: if it's native, then every time you change something, you need to re-upload the whole source again
[07:48] <stdin> that's why you'll only see some small packages that are native
[07:49] <Laibsch> what would be a good version?
[07:49] <stdin> personally, I'd go for "0.9.1-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa1"
[07:50] <Laibsch> 0.9.1-0ubuntu1-oh~ppa1
[07:50] <Laibsch> ?
[07:50] <Laibsch> OK, thank you for the suggestion
[07:50] <stdin> what's with you and the "oh"'s? :p
[07:50] <Laibsch> I want the oh in there as an indication for openedhand
[07:50] <Laibsch> The guys preparing all the qemu patches
[07:51] <stdin> Laibsch: then have it "0.9.1-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~openhand1" or "0.9.1-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~oh1" ;)
[07:52] <Laibsch> Basically, I just package " svn co http://svn.o-hand.com/repos/misc/trunk qemu-packaging"
[07:54] <stdin> a good way to do that is to have a svn copy, then "cp svn-dir working-dir; find working-dir -type d -name ".svn" -exex rm -r {} +" then "mv working-dir package-version"
[07:54] <stdin> then you can tar it up into an orig.tar.gz and create your debian stuff after
[07:55] <Fujitsu> stdin: What's wrong with `svn export'?
[07:55] <stdin> Fujitsu: nothing, if it works. I'd had some problems with it a while ago and just got into the habit of doing it manually
[07:55] <Laibsch> BTW, another question if I may, how do I easily create packages for all ubuntu versions from the same source?
[07:56] <Laibsch> dapper, edgy, feisty, gutsy, hardy
[07:56] <Laibsch> Just debchange and replace the version?
[07:56] <Fujitsu> You'll need to change the version string and release in the changelog.
[07:57] <Fujitsu> One would normally dch -i, set the release to gutsy, and append ~gutsy1 to the version.
[07:57] <Laibsch> OK, thanks
[08:24] <Laibsch> It seems debuild made a native package again
[08:24] <Laibsch> What do I need to name the orig tar for version  0.9.1-0oh1~ubuntu1 ?
[08:26] <stdin> qemu-0.9.1.orig.tar.gz
[08:27] <Laibsch> Ah, thanks
[08:37] <carlos> morning
[08:59] <Laibsch> I guess I am back to square one
[08:59] <Laibsch> The tar file is not being uploaded, it seems
[08:59] <Laibsch> https://launchpad.net/~r0lf/+archive/
[09:00] <Laibsch> Why is the orig.tar.gz not referenced in *.changes?
[09:00] <Laibsch> Do I need the -sa switch?
[09:00] <stdin> yes
[09:01] <Laibsch> OK, thanks
[09:02] <stdin> you may have to bump the version in order for it to upload, or remove the old package (which will take time to actually be removed)

[13:54] <Hobbsee> now, why can't i search bzr branches?
[13:56] <Fujitsu> Hobbsee: What fields would you search on?
[13:56] <Fujitsu> Or, where are you trying to search?
[13:57] <Hobbsee> hm, by name of the branch, or by project i think
[13:57] <Hobbsee> i thought we used to have a search for it
[13:57] <Hobbsee> https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/
[13:57] <Hobbsee> or at least a "filter by: <box>"
[13:58] <Fujitsu> Hm, you're right. It used to be a textbox followed by a status selector.
[13:58] <Fujitsu> I guess 1.2.1 fixed that.
[13:59] <Hobbsee> fsvo "fixed".  how was it broken?
[14:00] <Hobbsee> in fact, being able to filter by the first 5 options in that dropdown look good...
[14:01] <Hobbsee> ie, automagically filter if "hardy" is in the title, project name, lifecycle status (yes, i know there are easier ways to do it), branhc name, or register name.
[14:01] <Hobbsee> project or name would be the most useful
[14:08] <kiko> Hobbsee, Fujitsu: guess thumper did away with it in one of the previous month's changes. file a bug on him, I'm sure he'll get it
[14:11] <Hobbsee> kiko: ...yay.  will do
[14:12]  * Hobbsee wonders how one accidently does away with features.
[14:14] <Fujitsu> kiko: You don't happen to know what criteria Launchpad uses to decide if a branch is to be marked as dormant, do you?
[14:15] <kiko> Hobbsee, one doesn't use them, doesn't check if other users do, and removes them. it's pretty easy.

[14:16] <Fujitsu> I did try to check the page help, and was rather surprised to see there was actually some there, albeit not useful for this.
[14:17] <Fujitsu> I presume it's something to do with how recently the branch has been updated, or it would be redundant with the status selector.
[14:22] <kiko> Fujitsu, agreed. time to ask a question on launchpad-bazaar and get thumper to update the page help <wink>
[14:23] <Fujitsu> The latter being achieved by filing a bug?

[16:21]  * Hobbsee can't see how removing search dialog boxes are intentional though, either.
[16:21] <Hobbsee> mpt: are there efforts going on to make the launchpad tables act the same way?  ie, click on a column, and they sort by that column?
[16:21] <Hobbsee> having some that do, and some that don't is confusing

[17:02] <mpt> elmo, maybe that should have worked
[17:03] <mpt> e.g. maybe the search field on your Bugs page should have contained "involving:elmo" by default, which you could have deleted before entering "package:name-of-package-here" then your search terms

[23:06] <Odd_Bloke> What's the best way to upgrade a branch from knits to packs?  Rename the old one to something else and push the new one?
