[00:46] <steveire> It seems to be. Current latest in gutsy is 1.1.8-2ubuntu2~gutsy1

[05:26] <spiv> Huh, 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.
[05:46] <jamesh> spiv: maybe you should provide a summary
[05:47] <spiv> jamesh: I tried that :)
[05:47] <spiv> In the end, it turns out the bug was already reported anyway.
[06:04] <pwnguin> im not sure i like this personalization that some LP mailing lists apparently use
[06:18] <jamesh> pwnguin: Barry's post?  It wasn't a mailing list post (although it was about mailing lists)
[06:21]  * 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.
[06:26] <jamesh> Fujitsu: mail merge
[06:26] <jamesh> Fujitsu: it's a feature of Microsoft Word
[06:26] <jamesh> if you are using Outlook, it works really well
[06:26] <pwnguin> heh
[06:27] <pwnguin> its rather annoying, as i presume its intended specifically for me
[06:27] <pwnguin> and requires some direct action hidden somewhere inside that wall of text =(
[06:31] <Fujitsu> jamesh: 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] <jamesh> Fujitsu: it probably did use private data, yes.
[06:32] <Fujitsu> So yes, it does use some secret method :(
[06:32] <jamesh> but now we've got mailing lists we could use a less secret method ...
[06:33] <Fujitsu> Doesn't one have to opt into mailing lists?
[06:33] <jamesh> yeah
[06:34] <jamesh> it would make sense to have a beta testers announce list though
[06:34] <Fujitsu> One of the more recent needs I've seen for this feature was actually to tell people to join a mailing list. It was eventually done by abusing Malone.

[10:24] <pygi> hey folks
[10:24] <pygi> how exactly would branch removal work? :)
[10:25]  * pygi did read FAQ, yes, and there's no Delete branch magic as suggested there
[10:28] <Fujitsu> pygi: It works, except if it has subscribers or is linked to anything else like a bug or blueprint.
[10:28] <pygi> Fujitsu, it doesn't have them: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~mario-danic/+junk/mainline/
[10:33] <Fujitsu> pygi: I can't see why you can't delete that.
[10:33] <Fujitsu> It meets all the requirements that I know of.
[10:33] <pygi> Fujitsu, perhaps because it's set as a branch for libisofs regardless of the thing that I removed it from a project?
[10:34] <pygi> it's weird, but oh well
[10:34] <holtmann> Any update on the pending approval for bluez-gnome translation template.
[10:34] <Fujitsu> pygi: I have delete buttons for things on various projects.
[10:35] <Fujitsu> I 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] <pygi> then it's just weird
[10:37] <jamesh> pygi: 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 series
[10:37] <jamesh> pygi: if you remove the links, etc, you can delete the branch
[10:39] <Fujitsu> Ah, that's it.
[10:39] <Fujitsu> It's the trunk for libisofs.
[10:39] <Fujitsu> But that's not shown on the branch page.
[10:40] <pygi> Fujitsu, yes, I told you that above  =)
[10:40] <pygi> but when I remove it from the project, ie. make it not be a branch of libisofs, the libisofs project still tracks it 
[10:40] <Fujitsu> I thought you just meant it was assigned to that project, not the trunk.
[10:40] <Fujitsu> Try now.
[10:40] <Fujitsu> Oh, bah.
[10:41] <Fujitsu> Why does LP give me permission to see +source when I'm not allowed to do anything on it?
[10:42]  * pygi will try to go around the need to delete it with bzr upgrade magic
[10:42] <Fujitsu> pygi: You need an admin or the owner of the project to remove the reference on https://launchpad.net/libisofs/trunk/+source.
[10:43] <pygi> ah, right, I forgot I wasnt the admin
[10:43] <pygi> will solve that soon :)

[12:32] <Fujitsu> Hm, there's no way to delete that link, unfortunately.
[12:32] <Fujitsu> It's not published in Gutsy, so there's no delete button

=== kiko-zzz is now known as kiko
[12:53] <kiko> hey Fujitsu, good to see you
[13:36] <rexbron> Hello 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] <rexbron> The passage from the PPA guide is as follows: You can use PPA to build sources from other distributions that use .deb packages.
[13:36] <rexbron> Upload 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. 
[13:38] <rexbron> I 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 package
[13:38] <rexbron> Perhaps I should file a bug report?
[13:40] <gmb> rexbron: Give me a second, let me see if I can find someone to answer your question.
[13:40] <rexbron> :)
[13:42] <cprov> rexbron: you have upload a diff for a orig that doesn't match the one published in ubuntu archive.
[13:42] <cprov> rexbron: download the ubuntu orig and re-generate the diff, it will all work.
[13:43] <rexbron> cprov, this is for packages that are not in the ubuntu archives
[13:43] <cprov> rexbron: I don't see how exactly this error is related with the changesfile-override feature.
[13:43] <rexbron> cprov, let me see if I can explain it better
[13:44] <cprov> rexbron: in this case the diff/dsc doesn't match the orig that you have uploaded to your PPA
[13:44] <rexbron> cprov, but they do
[13:44] <rexbron> my gutsy upload is being rejected due to the distro serise being listed as hardy
[13:45] <rexbron> cprov, Here is the exact error message for the gutsy upload:
[13:45] <rexbron> Rejected:
[13:45] <rexbron> The source openlibraries - 0.4.0.svn20080111-0ubuntu1~ppa3 is already accepted in
[13:45] <rexbron> ubuntu/hardy and you cannot upload the same version within the same distribution.
[13:45] <rexbron> You have to modify the source version and re-upload.
[13:46] <cprov> rexbron: so, it's not a checksum error, as you've said.
[13:46] <rexbron> it was uploaded via dput with an incomming listed as ~rexbron/ubuntu/gutsy
[13:46] <cprov> rexbron: that's simple, you can't have the same version uploaded twice to the same archive.
[13:47] <rexbron> the checksums match, but the distro serise has not been changed
[13:47] <cprov> rexbron: it says "version X is already accepted in hardy", thus you can't not upload it again to gutsy.
[13:48] <rexbron> cprov, 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] <rexbron> cprov, 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 fact
[13:49] <cprov> rexbron: ubuntu, debian, xandros, etc are distributions ... dapper, gutsy, hardy are distroseries. You 
[13:49] <cprov> 've got tricked by the changesfile field name 
[13:50] <rexbron> cprov, 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?
[13:51] <cprov> rexbron: the natural logic-extension is to allow users to copy-packages within their PPAs 
[13:51] <cprov> rexbron: that's what we do in ubuntu primary archive
[13:52] <cprov> rexbron: do a single upload and copy source and/or binaries to other distroseries 
[13:52] <rexbron> Sure, that is what I am after

[16:50] <theseinfeld> like the thing with the source

[16:52] <cprov> theseinfeld: 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.
[16:53] <theseinfeld> cprov btw, in PPA if I delete some source packages, they are still in the repository
[16:53] <theseinfeld> cprov i guess I should submit a bug report to get them clean from the PPA?
[16:53] <cprov> theseinfeld: my guess is that https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libdc1394-22 is also coming from a PPA
[16:54] <theseinfeld> nope, cprov, I added it myself...don't ask how though, cause I don't remember. The v2 is coming from PPA
[16:54] <theseinfeld> cprov can you clear the PPA for me? or should I fill a bug report?
[16:54] <cprov> theseinfeld: no, deletions will be executed 24 hours after the references to the files in question reach 0
[16:54] <theseinfeld> there are many packages that are there and they could be deleted as they are absolete

[16:55] <theseinfeld> cprov who is referencing those files?
[16:55]  * theseinfeld is wondering...
[16:55] <cprov> theseinfeld: did you re-use the orig in the subsequent uploads ?
[16:56] <theseinfeld> I uploaded new orig with the 2.0.2 from SVN
[16:56] <theseinfeld> theoretically, cprov, the old one should be clean to be removed...
