Fujitsucprov: May I ask why bug #196782 is deemed to be of such low priority that it has been untargetted? It gives a pretty bad first impression of PPA.00:09
ubotuLaunchpad bug 196782 in soyuz "First build in a new PPA fails" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/19678200:09
cprovFujitsu: only in the very first job. We can't fight this race-condition effectively.00:11
Hobbseeso you do nothing, even though it's generating multiple questions in here each week00:11
FujitsuCan't you just not let the build be handed out to a builder unless the archive is published?00:12
elmoHobbsee: easy - setting it to low priority != 'doing nothing'00:14
Fujitsuelmo: Untargetting == 'doing nothing for the foreseeable future'00:15
cprovHobbsee: exactly what I was saying, it was decided that we have other more important things to be done before this one.00:15
FujitsuSpeaking of more important things... how's security-in-soyuz doing?00:16
elmoFujitsu: well, a) I'd argue, if you can't see past the current LP release schedule, you can't see far ;-), but b) in any event, I think there's more constructive ways to argue for priortization of features00:16
Hobbseeelmo: what Fujitsu said.00:17
cprovFujitsu: very well, soon we will have it running.00:17
Fujitsucprov: Is there any public document describing how it will actually be used/00:20
cprovFujitsu: one idea is to not dispatch pending jobs for archives (PPAs) younger than 20 minutes (current publishing interval), but that's so naive that doesn't worth the code, if you know what I mean.00:20
cprovFujitsu: no, not a public one. I image we will be writing one before switching.00:21
Fujitsucprov: Is there not a timestamp of last publishing that you can check for nullness? I imagine that'd be fairly easy and less than hackish that checking the age of the PPA...00:21
cprovFujitsu: btw, do you know exactly how dak works nowadays ?00:21
Fujitsucprov: I know fairly well how dak works, but not a whole lot about the dak-LP interactions.00:22
cprovFujitsu: checking the source publishing date doesn't really help since we very often build unpublished-sources (build-from-accepted feature).00:23
Fujitsucprov: I meant archive publishing date.00:23
kiko-afkFujitsu, we don't actually store that.00:24
FujitsuAh.00:24
kiko-afkcprov, it's ironic that this bug actually happens because of build-from-accepted :)00:24
cprovkiko-afk: yes, kind of short-blanket problem.00:25
kiko-afkcprov, random idea: could we not put an empty Packages.gz on-disk when activating the PPA? is that crazy?00:26
FujitsuI discounted suggesting that as being too much of a hack.00:27
kiko-afkFujitsu, well, maybe it is -- just wondering, you know. 00:28
cprovkiko-afk: i don't see how we can tweak the archive disk from the activating-PPA UI00:28
kiko-afkcprov, of course, separate boxes.00:28
kiko-afkcprov, how about not depending on the PPA itself unless at least once source has been published in it?00:29
kiko-afkcprov, or even one binary00:29
kiko-afkmight one binary work?00:29
cprovkiko-afk: more often publishing cycle would mitigate this problem and uncover other (archive being changed while being read)00:29
kiko-afkright00:30
kiko-afkcprov, I'm thinking don't send the apt sources line for the PPA until we know it's safe to send it.00:30
kiko-afkwhat do you think?00:30
cprovkiko-afk: "blinks" .. that's an good idea 00:30
kiko-afkthat might not be too hard to do00:30

frenchyI'd like to raise a blueprint but I'd like to check that no one has addressed this already because it seems like an obviously feature.  The ability to send someone to send another launchpad user an email message through launchpad.03:26

mdkecarlos: would it be possible yet to give me permissions to upload po files to ubuntu/gutsy/+source/ubuntu-docs for all languages, so that I can upload po files with my fixes?08:18
mdke(would Launchpad then merge the relevant changes and ignore untranslated strings that have been translated since those po files are created?)08:18
carlosmdke: the only way to do that is being a rosetta-admins member, so unfortunately, no, I cannot do that without doing code changes (this is something we could do, let's say it's a missing feature)08:19
mdkeright ok08:20
mdkewell, I don't know what the answer is, it seems I'm going to have to fix the same mistakes each time I download po files08:20
carlosmdke: Launchpad will not ignore untranslated strings, but unset them. You would need to remove those strings from the uploaded file so that reversion is not done08:20
mdkeouch08:20
carlosmdke: Anyway, we had a bug in Launchpad that was making impossible to do what you want to do if you already uploaded such fixes as 'published'08:21
carlosthat bug is fixed and the fix will be rolledout today08:22
mdkecarlos: it seems that it's impossible anyway :)08:22
carlosmdke: I suggest you to file a bug to get such permissions as the owner of the source package08:22
mdkecarlos: sure, I can do that... but then I'd have the problem of having to remove all strings from each po file except the one I fixed...08:23
carlosmdke: there is a command that would do it for you08:23
mdkereally?08:23
carlosyeah, I think msgfilter is the command you want08:24
mdkeok, I'll look into that. How will it know which string is the one I want?08:24
carlosmdke: or maybe msggrep... Danilo should be more helpful with that08:25
carlosmdke: you need to look for messages without translations08:26
mdkeI suppose I should really filter out all messages except the ones I have touched08:26
mdkethat way if someone has changed a string since I download the po file, that change will be preserved08:27
carlosmdke: just to be completely sure... could you confirm that you don't have access rights to https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/ubuntu-docs/+pots/about-ubuntu/ace/+upload ?08:28
danilosmdke: that would be your best bet, but if you've got all three PO files (i.e. original translation before you fixed it, your fixed translation, and new translation) you can do it mostly automatically with msg* tools08:28
mdkecarlos: I can see that page08:28
carlosmdke: ok, then you have enough rights and the problem is the bug I told you about08:29
mdkeoh wow08:29
carlosmdke: hmm, you don't need to worry about it, Launchpad is smart enough to handle those cases08:29
danilosmdke: if you need help in getting a script to do this kind of merge, I can help you out :)08:29
mdkewhen the fix is rolled out, if I want to upload a file, which of the options should I choose?08:29
carlosmdke: if someone changed a translation after you got the export from Launchpad, those changed messages will be ignored from your upload08:29
mdkedanilos: seems I just need to remove untranslated strings08:30
carlosmdke: User upload08:30
mdkecarlos: rock08:30
carlosmdke: I thought you were not going to merge with what we have in Launchpad08:30
carlosif you get latest version in Launchpad, you don't even need to remove untranslated strings08:30
carlosmdke: as long as you don't touch the X-Launchpad-Exported header08:30
mdkeI'd prefer not to have to get the latest version, if there is an easier way (like removing untranslated strings)08:31
carlosmdke: I mean X-Launchpad-Export-Date08:31
danilosmdke: yeah, but if you want to give priority to some translations from your update (i.e. fixed XML) and other translations from user changes (i.e. their own spelling fixes or whatever), it gets complicated08:32
carlosmdke: if you do that, you will need to update X-Launchpad-Export-Date so the upload is not rejected/ignored08:32
mdkeok, you've lost me now :)08:32
carlosmdke: you should look at it like a kind of wiki lock that will prevent you to overwrite other people's work08:33
mdkeok08:33
carlosif you get latest version in Launchpad and apply all your fixes, everything will work08:33
danilosmdke: well, we have a PO header 'x-launchpad-export-date' which checks exactly this case: if you keep the export date as it is, you'll basically be fixing everything you want _except_ cases where translators have changed the same messages like you have08:33
carlosif someone changes a string after your download and before your upload08:33
carlosthose changes will produce that your changes in your upload is stored (only for those messages that were changed)08:34
carlosand you will be notified by email about those messages08:34
daniloscarlos: but that will overwrite other updates from translators as well08:34
carlosdanilos: if he gets latest version from Launchpad, that shouldn't happen08:34
carlosexcept for the ones that he wants to fix08:34
daniloscarlos: right, but I believe it's better not to get the latest version from LP, just upload what he already has08:35
mdkethe problem is that if I have 20 po files I want to fix, getting the latest version from Launchpad each time is a PITA08:35
carlosmdke: if you don't get latest version, you must do what danilo said before, filter out all messages that are not fixes08:35
daniloscarlos: that should not be the case08:35
mdkebbiab08:36
carlosdanilos: ?08:36
daniloscarlos: actually, the date from lp-export-date would be older than new fixes in LP08:36
daniloscarlos: so it should work exactly as desired08:37
carlosdanilos: that's assuming the header is not removed in ubuntu-docs SVN08:37
daniloscarlos: well, right, that's what I am assuming08:37
carlosand that the broken messages were not changed since last sync he got for the fixes08:37
carlosnot changed in Launchpad08:37
daniloscarlos: right, but I assume the chances there are small, and he'll still get an email about them and they'll be easy to spot (i.e. look for some XML :))08:38

mdkecarlos, danilos - ok so in summary:08:44
danilosmdke: yes :)08:45
mdkeprovided I keep the lp-export-date the same as it was when i downloaded the po files, LP is clever enough to see which strings I have changed, and ignore any other ones (except in the case where a translator has changed a broken string at a later date, in which case I'll be emailed)08:45
mdke(as long as I make the upload after the fix is rolled out today)08:45
mdkecorrect?08:47
carlosmdke: right08:47
mdkebrilliant, that's exactly what I want08:47
mdkeso the e-lp-export-date string seems intact in our bzr branch - "X-Launchpad-Export-Date: 2008-02-24 12:17+0000\n"08:47
mdkesince I only edit the files with gedit, I'd expect that these won't change08:47
mdkethanks guys08:48
carlosmdke: also, please, remember to update 'PO-Revision-Date'08:48
carlosif a translator uploaded a new version with a newer date there, your upload will be rejected completely08:49
carlosdanilos: btw, with superfast imports and X-Launchpad-Export-Date feature, I wonder whether this check would be removed... we added it as an optimisation long time ago... Maybe keep it only for syncs with upstream/package imports...08:50
daniloscarlos: what do you mean? what if two translators work on the same file at the same time, one downloads/uploads, another works in LP?08:51
carlosdanilos: X-Launchpad-Export-Date will handle that case correctly08:51
daniloscarlos: right, so I misunderstood you: what check do you want removed then? :)08:52
carlosdanilos: We reject any uploaded file with a PO-Revision-Date older than the one from the latest uploaded file08:52
daniloscarlos: PO-revision-date?08:52
carlosdanilos: yeah08:52
carlosfor user uploads08:52
daniloscarlos: ah, sure, that makes sense08:52
carlosand keep it for published/imported ones, given that X-Launchpad-Export-Date doesn't applies in that case08:52
mdkecarlos: ok, so if I update that field, it will be ok?08:53
mdkeI won't be overwriting anyone's translations?08:53
carlosmdke: yeah08:53
carlosmdke: no08:53
carlosyeah for the first, no for the second ;-)08:53
mdkegood :)08:53
jtvcarlos: isn't the po-revision-date also useful in cases where newer uploads bypass older ones because the old ones don't get auto-approved?08:53
mdkeok, late for work - thanks again for your help08:54
carlosjtv: which usually happens only for imported/published uploads and why I suggest to keep it for those imports08:54
carlosmdke: you are welcome08:54
carlosjtv: for user uploads, X-Launchpad-Export-Date field will handle those conflicts08:55
jtvcarlos: in that case, perfect.08:55
carlosonly for the messages with conflicts, instead of reject the whole file like we do with PO-Revision-Date08:55
jtvcarlos: conflict exception?08:55
carlosjtv: we accept all changes except for the messages with conflicts and notify the user by email08:56
jtvcarlos: it'd definitely remove a nuisance.  I have this vague suspicion that some users may not update that field at all.08:58

Fujitsubigjools: I would have thought it would make more sense to add per-component/pocket archive admin fields, but I guess a celebrity is just as good as long as only one distro is around.12:01
bigjoolsHobbsee: it's not really written yet, I need to work on it, but sure I'll let you have a look when it's done12:02
Hobbseebigjools: cool, OK12:02
FujitsuHaving specs like that somewhat public is surely very important, as people actually have to use them...12:02
HobbseeFujitsu: they won't attempt to use it until it's actually pronounced to work.12:03
bigjoolsFujitsu: we didn't see the need to add that level of granularity for archive admin work12:03
HobbseeFujitsu: and actualy, for that sort of stuff, you probably *want* them to be private, as there's bound to be at least one OMGTSIF critical bug, which needs to wait for the next rollout, so the less people who use it, the better.12:03
bigjoolsin 1.2.5 we'll have extra permissioning for package-specific uploaders though12:03
Fujitsubigjools: -security will need completely different teams, won't it?12:04

FujitsuAs will universe, so that's already fairly granular.12:04
HobbseeFujitsu: YMMV, but that's what we found last time.12:04
bigjoolsdoes universe need a different set of archive admin permissions to multiverse>?12:05

bigjoolsok, good :)12:05

bigjoolswe have 4 main tasks12:06
bigjools1. archive admin for MOTU, done via a new celeb that can access universe/multiverse uploads12:06
bigjools2. MOTU Buildd admin, to retry builds for universe/multiverse12:07
bigjools3. package-driven permissioning12:07
bigjools4. queue override in the UI pages12:07
bigjoolsmmm I missed one, there's 5. post-publication override too12:07
Hobbseebigjools: why a separate buildd admin there?  12:08
FujitsuWRT #2... why not just let component uploaders retry, like in PPA?12:09
Hobbseearen't there so few anyway, that it makes sense to let everyone access everything?12:09
FujitsuYep.12:09
HobbseeFujitsu: because it's not quite like the ppa stuff.12:09
HobbseeFujitsu: and do you really trust all the MOTU's to do reprio'ing in a good way?12:09
bigjoolsa separate team allows for more flexibility12:10
FujitsuHobbsee: hence my `retry' bit.12:10

Hobbseebigjools: ...cancel builds?  pretty please??  :D12:10
FujitsuEr, I can't speak English, apparently.12:10
bigjoolshehe - it's not in the agenda :(12:11
Hobbseebigjools: why?12:11
Hobbseebigjools: why is all this new stuff on the agenda with buildd admins, yet something as simple and important as cancelling builds not be there?12:11
FujitsuPoking sysadmins to fix buildds isn't really ideal.12:12
HobbseeFujitsu: you haven't done it, i suspect.12:12
bigjoolsHobbsee: what you perceive as simple isn't necessarily so12:12
Hobbseebigjools: well, relatively speaking.  i know nothing in soyuz is simple.12:12
bigjoolsbut I will raise it and see what we can do12:12
Hobbseethanks.  it would be really good to have.12:12
bigjoolsI know... it would make our life easier too to be fair12:13
bigjoolsare you guys going to UDS?12:13
Hobbseebigjools: you can't seriously think i got an invite.12:14
Hobbseebigjools: i think i whinged far too much for that.12:14
bigjoolsheh12:15
bigjoolsthere's a fine line between whinging and constructive feedback :)12:15
Hobbseebigjools: if i'm actually active, maybe i'll get to prague+1.  If not...12:15
Hobbseeyeah well.  apparently i never give constructive feedback, so...12:15
bigjoolsand I thought it was supposed to be Brits who whinged :)12:16
Hobbseemaybe the brits learned to shut up and take it like it was, rather than attempting to change it.  apparently the aussies haven't learnt that lesson yet12:16
Hobbseeer, s/was/is/12:17
* bigjools ducks out of the conversation at this point!12:17
Hobbseeheh12:17
bigjoolslook out for more bugs file for admin - I'm beavering away on them right now12:18
bigjools1.2.4 is going to get a lot targeted to it12:18
Hobbseebigjools: was my list helpful?12:18
Fujitsubigjools: Realistically targetted?12:18
bigjoolsHobbsee: yes thank you.  We won't get around to all of that, but I think at least 2 of them can be done12:18
HobbseeFujitsu: better not to ask that.12:19
* bigjools has cracked the whip of realism on the Soyuz team12:19
Hobbseebigjools: the checkbox, the queue default length, and the wrong url redirect?12:19
bigjoolsI'm finally convincing cprov not to target 50 bugs to each milestone!12:19
Hobbseewoot!12:19
Fujitsubigjools: Yay!12:19
bigjoolsour current priority is the LP 2.0 goals, plus any critical bugs12:20
bigjoolsHobbsee: the batch size and the override info12:20
bigjoolsshould be easy to do those - I'll also see if we can do a "un/check all"12:21
Hobbseebigjools: right.12:21
* Hobbsee would have classed the wrong url redirect as the most annoying of them, but OK12:21
Hobbseeguess it depends if you're doing the default queue or not12:21
bigjoolsyeah it sounds irritating12:22
FujitsuIs s-i-s realistically targetted to 1.2.4?12:22
bigjoolsyup12:22
bigjoolsit's mostly done already12:23
Fujitsuie. very near Hardy release?12:23
FujitsuVery nice.12:23
bigjoolsit won't be done in time for Hardy12:23
FujitsuAs long as it doesn't explode.12:23
bigjoolsbut soon after12:23
FujitsuRight.12:23
bigjoolswe have a couple of infrastructure privacy issues to fix and then it's going live12:23
Fujitsu(I mostly do security stuff these days, hence the interest)12:24
bigjoolsactually, I hope to get it tested before 1.2.4 with security builds that are not embargoed12:24

bigjoolsFujitsu: we have the capability to have a separate PPA for MOTU security12:24
Fujitsubigjools: How does copying from security PPAs to primary occur?12:25
bigjoolsright now it's a command line utility, but in this cycle we're adding UI support for it12:26
FujitsuSo it's the same process as any other PPA?12:26
bigjoolspretty much12:26
FujitsuBut executable by -security rather than -archive, I hope...12:26
bigjoolsit will use the same permissioning as the private PPA does12:27
bigjoolsbtw if you see P3A anywhere, that's a private PPA :)12:27

BUGabundoI had " affects openoffice.org-base-core" there15:38

BUGabundosure, I add no distribution15:39
BUGabundobut the examples uses FF with out any distribuition15:39
BUGabundodoesn't it?15:39
kikoBUGabundo, that would be upstream FF, not ubuntu FF. what URL is that, btw?15:41
BUGabundoon the email it self15:41
BUGabundoTo do this, include a line that starts with a blank space, then the word \n 'affects', then the Launchpad ID of the project or distribution, then \n (if it's a package) a slash and the name of the package. \n For example, reporting a bug on a project: \n affects firefox \n Reporting a bug on a distribution: \n affects ubuntu15:42

BUGabundoso that known packages appear first?15:49
BUGabundolike in this case with OO15:49
kikowe don't know what a "known package" is right now15:50
BUGabundoif searching for openoffice, openoffice.org should come first15:50

muffinresearchAnyone know if there's a way to make a project private?23:20
muffinresearchI guess it's something that might go a little against the grain but can be useful in certain circumstances23:22
=== Adys_ is now known as Adys
kikomuffinresearch, well, not exactly. it depends on what you want to do.23:27
muffinresearch@kiko So for example you have set up a new project but want it to not to be public until some point in the future. AFAIK there's no way to do that is there?23:29
Rinchenmuffinresearch, that's currently correct.23:34
Rinchenmuffinresearch, open source is, well, open :-)23:35
muffinresearch@Rinchen that's what I meant by going against the grain, however initially making a project private doesn't mean it will remain private.23:37
Rinchenmuffinresearch, much could be said about a closed source project too :-)23:37
muffinresearchHmm for me personally I'm not even looking at this from a point of view of using LP to host a closed-source project but I can see why a privacy feature will be highly unlikely to be added as it might be abused in that way.23:39
mptCould be said about Launchpad, even ;-)23:39
Rinchento quote mpt, "whew"23:40
Rinchenmuffinresearch, really it comes down to what Launchpad's core is... Launchpad is an open source collaboration service.  You can't collaborate across the open source universe with a private project.23:41
Rinchenmuffinresearch, so while the concept is simple, for open source projects it doesn't really make much sense because you want to engage everyone (cathedral vs bazaar)23:42
mptmuffinresearch, if it's going to be private, why not just keep everything (Bazaar branches, lists of bugs etc) on your own machine?23:42
muffinresearchYeah makes total sense23:42
Odd_BlokeThe downtime banner at the top of the page is helpful, thanks! :)23:55
Rinchenheh23:56
RinchenOdd_Bloke, how are the pqm enhancements coming? ;-)23:56
Odd_BlokeIn my head, it's fantastically easy to use and does everything you could ever want.23:57
Odd_BlokeOn my laptop, it has yet to be setup correctly in the first place. :p23:57
Odd_BlokeI'm away for a week on a remote island in Scotland, so I may spend some time with it then.23:58
Rinchenlol23:59
Rinchenmy my, look at the time23:59
