ubotuNew bug: #220082 in launchpad ""Top contributor" is whack" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22008203:00

* RAOF scores!03:18
awmcclainHow do you all test your package installations? Is there a way to actually _install_ the package with pbuilder?03:24
RAOFawmcclain: Yes.  'pbuilder login' will log you in to the pbuilder environment.03:24
awmcclainRAOF: And then what, apt-get or dpkg install it? Doesn't everything get lost when you do pbuilder build?03:28
RAOFawmcclain: Yes, it does.  And yes, you then dpkg --install it.03:29
awmcclainRAOF: so; login to the pbuilder environment, build the package, then install it?03:29
RAOFNo.  Build the package.  Login.  Copy the built package in (using bind mount, or whatever), then install it.03:30
awmcclainROAF: But wait, if you tried to install the package using dpkg inside pbuilder, woudln't you have to manually download all the dependencies for running the package?03:35
poolieHobbsee: hi are you here?03:36
RAOFawmcclain: Yes.  That being one of the points.03:36
RAOFawmcclain: You'd dpkg --install it, then run apt-get -f install to install the broken dependencies.03:36
awmcclainRAOF: Ahhh! I'd been asking about that second step in other channels for 2 months! I didn't think it'd work. Is bind mount documented in a pbuilder doc or man page somewhere?03:38
RAOFawmcclain: Probably.  I'd be somewhat careful with bind-mount, obviously.  I've accidentally blown away ~ with a not-careful-enough rm.03:40
awmcclainRAOF: Wonderful. Exactly what I want to hear.03:40
awmcclain;)03:40
RAOFawmcclain: It's possible to do the bind-mounting automatically and safely with pbuilder, I know.  I've just never bothered to learn (particularly since I use sbuild)03:42

spiv(They ought to time out immediately, I'm not sure why they don't.  There's a bug about this somewhere...)06:40

pooliejml's change for easier branch linking landed08:31
pooliethat is just _so_ nice08:31
jtvmdke: yes, here08:32
mdkejtv: thanks for your emails. I just wanted to check whether the po files I'd edited are now fixed...08:32
jtvmdke: want me to re-upload them?08:33
mdkejtv: can you tell by eye from the diff whether the changes I made are appropriate?08:33
mdkeor do you need to upload them to be sure?08:33
jtvmdke: pulling in the upload as we speak.08:34
jtvmdke: uploading is an effective way to find out!08:34
mantienamaybe someone could tell me the way to see all new translations, translated in launchpad ? I only see "changed in launchpad" filter, but I need to see translations, added in launchpad08:34
mdkejtv: alright. But I didn't want you to go to the trouble if I'd edited them the wrong way or something 08:34
jtvThat's "new in launchpad."08:35
jtvThose are messages that weren't translated in the imported files, but are translated in Launchpad.08:35
jtvmdke: and yup, now that I diff, I see a problem with line endings.08:36
jtvmdke: So the \n is gone but the bad line ending that probably caused the problem is still there.08:37
mdkejtv: damn. in each case I removed the \n on the following line and added a " on the end of the preceding line...08:37
jtvmdke: Hmm... you're not editing on a Mac by any chance?  I see two quoted-string lines concatenated with a ^M between them.08:38
mdkejtv: with gedit on Ubuntu08:38
jtvmdke: Where the problem happened, there used to be a ^M.  Those ^Ms now seem to have replaced the newlines.08:41
mdkejtv: maybe this is a problem with gedit. I don't really understand anything about editors or line endings08:42
jtvmdke: when it comes to line endings and platform interoperability, I don't think there's a single right thing to do.  It's just a mess.08:42
mdkejtv: is there a simple reliable problem I can open these po files with? Perhaps if I use poedit or something? Will that sanitise them?08:43

mdke;)08:44
mdkejtv: thanks. I have to go to work now, perhaps we can continue by email. Seems we are a way off sorting this out. But there is no deadline for this08:44
jtvmdke: try vim.  It shows the ^M as a weird character.08:45
jtvmdke: bzr diff -r date:2008-04-10 | grep '-.*\\n'  should also reveal the problems (amid a bit of extra output, unfortunately)08:46
jtvmdke: sure, back to email!08:46
mdkejtv: thanks08:47
mantienajtv: I don't see filter "new in launchpad" :( look for example https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/jockey/+pots/jockey/lt/+translate09:04
jtvmantiena: you're right, sorry.  There's only "changed in launchpad."09:10
mantienajtv: so, maybe there is another way, which doesn't exist in UI ? Maybe I can add some parameter in URL ?09:13
jtvmantiena: nope, sorry!09:13
jtvmantiena: otoh I believe "changed in Launchpad" will show you these messages (in addition to the ones that were already translated but have a different translation in Launchpad)09:15
mantienajtv: no, "changed in launchpad" filter displays only changed messages :(09:15
mantienaat least in edge.launchpad.net09:16
jtvmantiena: looks like it.  Not much time to change that at the moment, unfortunately, unless it's urgent.  :-/09:19
bigjoolsFujitsu: around?09:40
Fujitsubigjools: I am.09:40
bigjoolsFujitsu: hey there - quick question for you, we're mooting the idea of allowing anyone who can upload to a component retry its builds as well.  How does that sound to you?09:41
FujitsuThat sounds very sane.09:41
FujitsuI've been wondering for quite some time why that wasn't already how it worked.09:42
bigjoolsright - they can already tie up buildds anyway ...09:42
FujitsuSeems easier than adding extra celebrities, although you *might* still want that for rescoring.09:42
bigjoolsindeed09:42
FujitsuIt's how it works for PPA, and yes, we can just upload rebuilds anyway.09:42

mptDoes anyone know the difference between "Packaging information" and "Show distribution packages" on a project's page?11:02
Fujitsumpt: One's on the homepage, badly designed and ordered incorrectly. The other isn't.11:04
mptah, they're exactly the same info, just with different columns11:04
mpt<https://launchpad.net/bug-buddy/+distributions> vs. <https://launchpad.net/bug-buddy/+packages>11:04
* mpt giggles11:04
FujitsuOh, I didn't know there was a +distributions.11:05

ubotuNew bug: #218848 in language-pack-gnome-fi-base "XML error when going to site needing certificate exception when using fi_FI.UTF-8 or de_DE.UTF-8" [Undecided,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/21884811:06
FujitsuThe question is which one is more useful.11:06
FujitsuBoth layouts are useful :(11:07
mptOkay, how is each useful?11:10
mptI mean, how is each useful in a way that the other isn't11:10
FujitsuWell, if you ever manage to convince another distro to use LP, or import Debian stuff, the layout of each will diverge significantly.11:11
FujitsuI might want to know where I can get version X of this project.11:11
FujitsuOr I might want to know what versions distro Y has of this project.11:11
FujitsuALthough the latter usecase is handled by the SP page already.11:12
FujitsuSo +packages shows information in a new way, while +distributions really just aggregates what's on /<distro>/+source/<package>11:13
mptso that's just a sort order, really11:15
FujitsuNo.11:15
mptor a grouping11:15
FujitsuRight.11:15
FujitsuGrouping.11:15
mptgrouping by distribution vs. grouping by series11:15
FujitsuYep.11:15

FujitsuSee the `Update' link on https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/soundconverter, for example.11:42
FujitsuIt points to a page which contains a link to do the actual updating.11:42

Hobbseehow's that for annoying, right around release?13:54
kikoHobbsee, get bigjools to help, but I wonder why nobody in Ubuntu proper has the same problem.13:54
kikobigjools is definitely the person who knows what's going on with that13:54
FujitsuEveryone else uses drescher.13:54
Hobbseekiko: because all the canonical people use the SSH access, as it's quicker and more convenient, and i'm the only one who uses that section.13:54

Hobbseekiko: components would be the regular one13:56
kikoHobbsee, except new packages are already overridden by default to universe, now?13:57
Hobbseekiko: sure, but that won't help in the case of multiverse packages.13:57
Hobbseekiko: so, fsvo "regular" - each time we get a multiverse package13:57
bigjoolsHobbsee: I am taking a look at your timeout problem.  It certainly looks like some stuff can be optimised.14:11
Hobbseebigjools: right14:11
kikoHobbsee, we know what the problem is; it's a consequence of calculating bug subscribers properly and closing bugs from changelogs.14:20

Hobbseekiko: i'm not surprised, as it's not the first time it's broken.14:43
Hobbseekiko: if you dont' get it rolled out in the next 24h or so, it can wait till the next cycle, but it definetly needs to be fixed and working for intrepid, due to the stuff that will soon be announced.14:44
Hobbseekiko: why was it working midweek then?14:45
kikoHobbsee, sheer luck and statistics -- performance is like that.14:45
bigjoolsHobbsee: it's going to be directly related to the number of simultaneously accepted items14:46
Hobbseebigjools: ahhh.  i usually only accept one at a time.14:46
kikoHobbsee, it's not more broken now than it was before, IOW -- you just can't notice the cause14:46
Hobbseekiko: hehe, yeah14:46
bigjoolsHobbsee: right - so try one at a time and see if it works for you as a temporary workaround14:46
Hobbseebigjools: got one of the other people in the release team to accept a whole bunch, but will try with the next one14:47
Hobbsee(or will try with them asleep)14:47

FujitsuAhaha.14:51
FujitsuThat's not even a very big bug!14:52
kikoFujitsu, heh :)14:52
Hobbseekiko: why?14:53
kikoHobbsee, because we need to notify implicit subscribers for all those packages, which means lots of queries for calculating14:54
Hobbseekiko: twitch.14:54
FujitsuDoesn't a load of the bug page itself have to also perform those calculations? Or is the main work in the actual notifying bit?14:55
kikoHobbsee, for now the workaround is to ask someone with shell access to approve any upload which fixes a bug with many (3+ tasks)15:00
kikoHobbsee, you can probably approve other uploads without any problem15:00
kikoHobbsee, and we're looking into this bug for 1.2.415:01

Hobbseekiko: looks like i can accept one upload at a time, yes15:04
kikoHobbsee, as long as it doesn't touch that bug, as I told you15:06
kikoHobbsee, in fact, I bet you can approve many uploads at a time as long as none of them fix that bug.15:07
