jameshsteveire: it will if the version in backports has a name newer than it00:45
jameshe.g. 1.1.10-1ubuntu1 or newer00:45
steveirejamesh: Is that consistent with backports naming schemes?00:46
jameshsteveire: I don't know00:46
jameshyou'd have to check Ubuntu's policies00:46
steveireIt seems to be. Current latest in gutsy is 1.1.8-2ubuntu2~gutsy100:46
jameshI think they usually make sure they have a version number less than the package they've backported00:46

spivHuh, weird.  I'm reporting a bug, and just got "A summary is required" even though I entered a summary.  And now I can't reproduce it.  Very odd.05:26

* Fujitsu presumes it's using some secret method of emailing all members of a team, which the rest of the world would love but can't have.06:21

jameshFujitsu: it's a feature of Microsoft Word06:26
jameshif you are using Outlook, it works really well06:26
pwnguinheh06:26
pwnguinits rather annoying, as i presume its intended specifically for me06:27
pwnguinand requires some direct action hidden somewhere inside that wall of text =(06:27
Fujitsujamesh: Using some public datasource like +rdf? I presumed there might be some magic that was used to email even those who hid their email addresses, which would be very useful.06:31
jameshFujitsu: it probably did use private data, yes.06:31
FujitsuSo yes, it does use some secret method :(06:32
jameshbut now we've got mailing lists we could use a less secret method ...06:32
FujitsuDoesn't one have to opt into mailing lists?06:33
jameshyeah06:33
jameshit would make sense to have a beta testers announce list though06:34

pygihey folks10:24
pygihow exactly would branch removal work? :)10:24
* pygi did read FAQ, yes, and there's no Delete branch magic as suggested there10:25
Fujitsupygi: It works, except if it has subscribers or is linked to anything else like a bug or blueprint.10:28
pygiFujitsu, it doesn't have them: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mario-danic/+junk/mainline/10:28
Fujitsupygi: I can't see why you can't delete that.10:33
FujitsuIt meets all the requirements that I know of.10:33
pygiFujitsu, perhaps because it's set as a branch for libisofs regardless of the thing that I removed it from a project?10:33
pygiit's weird, but oh well10:34
holtmannAny update on the pending approval for bluez-gnome translation template.10:34
Fujitsupygi: I have delete buttons for things on various projects.10:34
FujitsuI believe there is meant to be a fix for this (the lack of indication as to what's stopping you from deleting it) soon.10:35
pygithen it's just weird10:35
jameshpygi: you can't delete a branch if it has any bug<->branch or blueprint<->branch links or is the main branch of any project release series10:37
jameshpygi: if you remove the links, etc, you can delete the branch10:37
FujitsuAh, that's it.10:39
FujitsuIt's the trunk for libisofs.10:39
FujitsuBut that's not shown on the branch page.10:39
pygiFujitsu, yes, I told you that above  =)10:40
pygibut when I remove it from the project, ie. make it not be a branch of libisofs, the libisofs project still tracks it 10:40
FujitsuI thought you just meant it was assigned to that project, not the trunk.10:40
FujitsuTry now.10:40
FujitsuOh, bah.10:40
FujitsuWhy does LP give me permission to see +source when I'm not allowed to do anything on it?10:41
* pygi will try to go around the need to delete it with bzr upgrade magic10:42
Fujitsupygi: You need an admin or the owner of the project to remove the reference on https://launchpad.net/libisofs/trunk/+source.10:42
pygiah, right, I forgot I wasnt the admin10:43
pygiwill solve that soon :)10:43

rexbronHello everyone. You may have seen me in here asking this question before, but I have now deterimined that the either 1) the PPAquickstart guide is wrong or 2) the distro override feature has not been implimented (even for beta testers) yet.13:36
rexbronThe passage from the PPA guide is as follows: You can use PPA to build sources from other distributions that use .deb packages.13:36
rexbronUpload to ~<lp_name>/ubuntu/<suite> and the suite you specify will override the suite named in the upload changelog. You can upload a source from any Debian-compatible distribution straight to your PPA with no changes required. 13:36
rexbronI have done a diff only upload to two targets via dput, the only difference between the two being one has ~rexbron/ubuntu/gutsy as the incomming and the gutsy package still get rejected due to the MD5 sums matching an existing package13:38
rexbronPerhaps I should file a bug report?13:38
gmbrexbron: Give me a second, let me see if I can find someone to answer your question.13:40
rexbron:)13:40
cprovrexbron: you have upload a diff for a orig that doesn't match the one published in ubuntu archive.13:42
cprovrexbron: download the ubuntu orig and re-generate the diff, it will all work.13:42
rexbroncprov, this is for packages that are not in the ubuntu archives13:43
cprovrexbron: I don't see how exactly this error is related with the changesfile-override feature.13:43
rexbroncprov, let me see if I can explain it better13:43
cprovrexbron: in this case the diff/dsc doesn't match the orig that you have uploaded to your PPA13:44
rexbroncprov, but they do13:44
rexbronmy gutsy upload is being rejected due to the distro serise being listed as hardy13:44
rexbroncprov, Here is the exact error message for the gutsy upload:13:45
rexbronRejected:13:45
rexbronThe source openlibraries - 0.4.0.svn20080111-0ubuntu1~ppa3 is already accepted in13:45
rexbronubuntu/hardy and you cannot upload the same version within the same distribution.13:45
rexbronYou have to modify the source version and re-upload.13:45
cprovrexbron: so, it's not a checksum error, as you've said.13:46
rexbronit was uploaded via dput with an incomming listed as ~rexbron/ubuntu/gutsy13:46
cprovrexbron: that's simple, you can't have the same version uploaded twice to the same archive.13:46
rexbronthe checksums match, but the distro serise has not been changed13:47
cprovrexbron: it says "version X is already accepted in hardy", thus you can't not upload it again to gutsy.13:47
rexbroncprov, could you look at https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart specifically the "using sources from other distrobutions" section and tell me if that works?13:48
rexbroncprov, if it is a case that one must upload gutsy before hardy (makes sense from the distro pov but not so much from a ppa one) then the documentation makes no reference to that fact13:48
cprovrexbron: ubuntu, debian, xandros, etc are distributions ... dapper, gutsy, hardy are distroseries. You 13:49
cprov've got tricked by the changesfile field name 13:49
rexbroncprov, fine, then it is a misunderstand on my part, but I still think that it would be a logical extention of that feature. woud it not?13:50
cprovrexbron: the natural logic-extension is to allow users to copy-packages within their PPAs 13:51
cprovrexbron: that's what we do in ubuntu primary archive13:51
cprovrexbron: do a single upload and copy source and/or binaries to other distroseries 13:52
rexbronSure, that is what I am after13:52

theseinfeldlike the thing with the source16:50

* theseinfeld loves when getting attention from cprov16:51
cprovtheseinfeld: currently all known source-names are traversable, including PPA ones. We simply present the warning about the lack of publications in the specific context, which is causing confusion.16:52
theseinfeldcprov btw, in PPA if I delete some source packages, they are still in the repository16:53
theseinfeldcprov i guess I should submit a bug report to get them clean from the PPA?16:53
cprovtheseinfeld: my guess is that https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdc1394-22 is also coming from a PPA16:53
theseinfeldnope, cprov, I added it myself...don't ask how though, cause I don't remember. The v2 is coming from PPA16:54
theseinfeldcprov can you clear the PPA for me? or should I fill a bug report?16:54
cprovtheseinfeld: no, deletions will be executed 24 hours after the references to the files in question reach 016:54
theseinfeldthere are many packages that are there and they could be deleted as they are absolete16:54
theseinfeldcprov hmm16:54
theseinfeldcprov who is referencing those files?16:55
* theseinfeld is wondering...16:55
cprovtheseinfeld: did you re-use the orig in the subsequent uploads ?16:55
theseinfeldI uploaded new orig with the 2.0.2 from SVN16:56
theseinfeldtheoretically, cprov, the old one should be clean to be removed...16:56
theseinfeldif you go here though: https://edge.launchpad.net/~libdc1394-dev/+archive?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=superseded16:56

theseinfeldcprov: yep, check this out: http://ppa.launchpad.net/libdc1394-dev/ubuntu/pool/main/libd/libdc1394v2/16:57
