mptGoooooooooooooood morning Launchpadders!09:30
mptHobbsee, judge that by our future availability, not by the exact methods we use to achieve it :-)09:36
mptAlso, I prefer a recovery system that doesn't require user intervention over one that does09:37
mptso what transpired in the meeting is good news, I think.09:37
wgrantmpt: AFAICS all that transpired was people saying it wasn't an issue, because it was resolved within minutes of people noticing. I saw nothing about making people notice, unless that comment about talking to IS counts.09:48
wgrantbigjools: Around?09:48
bigjoolswgrant: aye09:49
wgrantbigjools: I saw your description change on the MOTU archive admin spec... not just anybody in MOTU should be able to do that - you'll still definitely need a new celeb for that.09:50
bigjoolswgrant: it's all in hand, fear not09:50
wgrantFor build administration it's OK without a new celeb, but not archive administration.09:50
bigjoolswe are not using celebs, that's all09:50
wgrantbigjools: OK, as long as you're not opening it up entirely.09:51
bigjoolswgrant: no, we might appear stupid sometimes but we're not that stupid09:52
wgrantHeh, the spec makes it appear somewhat like it was being restricted to uploaders.09:52
wgrantEr, bug, not spec. I mixed up my mail09:53
bigjoolsI had a long-ish chat with Jordan yesterday and he's clued in09:53
wgrantGreat.09:54
mptwgrant, that was just kiko. He didn't mean that.09:54
wgrantmpt: I thought I saw SteveA say something of the sort, but perhaps.10:12
=== mrevell is now known as mrevell-lunch
Hobbseempt: i do too, but i prefer multiple processes for if something screws up.  backups, if you will.12:52
Hobbseeas in, in the likely event that launchpad dies, AND IS doesn't respond, say, within an hour, then this procedure occurs.12:52
Hobbseempt: or whatever your preferred timeframe is12:52
Hobbseempt: i wasnt' expecting you to replace IS with something community driven.12:54
Hobbseejust if launchpad and IS fail, which it did over the weekend, and also did over christmas.12:54

ubotuNew bug: #221866 in launchpad "mirror sites with multiple hosts behind one name should be probed more completely" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/22186614:01
marnanelHey folks.  I am a little tired of seeing the default icon beside https://launchpad.net/metacity (I'm one of the upstream maintainers).  I don't have permissions to change the branding; how do I find out who does?15:11
wgrantmarnanel: Ask a question at the URL in the topic. You could even get the ownership of the project transferred to you, most likely.15:14
marnanelwgrant: Okay, lovely.  Thank you!15:17
=== cpro1 is now known as cprov
marnanelwgrant: "the URL in the topic" being help.l.n? I see lots of pages of help there but nowhere to ask a question (and actually it says "Contact us at #launchpad on Freenode").  Sorry to be slow.15:31
wgrantmarnanel: answers.l.n15:32
wgrantA few characters later.15:32
* marnanel laughs. sorry15:32
Zelutcan anyone help me with moving my LP project to a new URL?15:47
wgrantZelut: Ask a question at the URL in the topic.15:47
wgrantAn admin should attend to your request soon.15:47
Zelutwgrant: I did post a question on the answers section and then got an email this morning saying after 15 days it has expired.15:48
Zelutso I thought I'd drop in here and poke someone about it15:48
wgrantZelut: Reopen it if you can - it has probably just been overlooked, and the reopening email may elicit a response.15:49
Zelutwgrant: done. thank you.15:51

seb128did the upstream watches updates code stopped running or something?17:08
=== gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak
gmbseb128: Why do you ask?17:20
seb128because the desktop bugs have tasks which are in an unknow state for days now17:21
seb128and I though the update used to run daily or something17:21
seb128that's handy to know when there is a patch available to backport from upstream for example17:22
gmbseb128: Can you give me an example bug? I'll look into it.17:25

=== gnomefre1k is now known as gnomefreak
gmbseb128: Well, the bug watches against bugzilla.gnome.org are being updated.17:30
gmbSo this is a bit weird.17:30
gmbseb128: Let me look into it and I'll get back to you.17:30
seb128gmb: right, I got 8 mails from Bug Watch Updater this week17:31
seb128gmb: and we tens of watch every week usually17:32
seb128+add17:32
gmbseb128: Right. I think I know what the problem is, but I just want to check before I put my money where my mouth is. Bear with me.17:33
seb128gmb: the activity seems "normal" until march 27 in my inbox17:33
seb128and very slow since17:33
seb128gmb: alright, no hurry, thanks ;-)17:33
=== matsubara is now known as matsubara-lunch
gmbseb128: Right. I've spoken to our sysadmins and I've done a bit of poking around.17:49
gmbBasically, the problem is that we've implemented some load balancing to avoid hitting remote bugtrackers for too many bugs at one time.17:50
gmbFor exampl, we have 7000 gnome-bugs watches.17:50
seb128you are telling me that we open too many GNOME bug upstream there ;-)17:51
gmbShh, don't tell anyone else ;)17:51
seb128ah ah17:51
gmbSeriously though, our problem was that we weren't updating all of them every day.17:51
seb1287000 seems to be a lot, do you count closed bugs?17:51
gmbseb128: Yes, because they could be reopened.17:51
seb128alright17:52
gmbAnyway, we weren't checking often enough, or getting enough bugs in one go.17:52
gmbSo we missed some of them.17:52
seb128I see17:52
gmbseb128: We're going to fix that by having our import script run more frequently.17:52
gmbSo come Monday everything should be sorted out.17:52
seb128ok, thanks17:52
gmbseb128: No problem.17:52
LaserJockmrevell: ping17:52
seb128gmb: one idea for your balancing though, check closed bugs less often17:53
seb128gmb: that's likely a high number of watchs where things are really not changing often17:53
gmbTrue enough.17:53
gmbWe're actually going through quite a bit of refactoring work in that area, so that's one of the things that we might well look into. Thanks for the suggestion.17:54
seb128you are welcome ;-)17:54
mrevellhey LaserJock17:54
LaserJockmrevell: do I understand your blog post correctly to mean that bug contacts will now have access to private bugs?17:55
LaserJocki.e. we have a rather large privilege escalation17:55
mrevellLaserJock: I'm sorry, I made a stupid mistake there.17:56
mrevellLaserJock: I'll post a correction immediately.17:56
LaserJockmrevell: does "target bugs to milestones" mean they can make nominations or accept nominations?17:58
mrevellLaserJock: That's setting something a series goal, which is still down to the driver to accept.18:00
mrevellLaserJock: They can target a bug to a milestone, though.18:00
LaserJockmrevell: "regular" users can't set the privacy of a bug or mark bug reports as security issues?18:02
mrevellLaserJock: They can but I included it in the role as it's often something taken on by bug contacts. Perhaps that's confusing. I'll remove it.18:02
LaserJockmrevell: but can't any users nominate a bug to a milestone?18:03
LaserJockI'm just trying to figure out what exactly is being changed and what additional privileges bug supervisors are getting :-)18:04
mrevellLaserJock: No, not as far as I'm aware.18:04
LaserJockyou sure, we have our contributors do it all the time18:04
mrevellLaserJock: Damn, my blog post has failed, in that case. There are no additional priviliedges.18:04
mreveller, privileges18:04
mrevellit's just a name change.18:04
LaserJockI don't think they're all in the ubuntu-bugcontrol team18:05
LaserJockwell, the statuses thing could be a new privilege right?18:05
LaserJockwhat about Importance?18:05
mrevellLaserJock: No, the statuses have been in place for a long time.18:06
LaserJockok, so then what's the difference between a Bug Subscriber and a Bug Supervisor again? :-)18:06
mrevellHmm, LaserJock I think I should ask BjornT to intervene here :)18:07
BjornTmrevell, LaserJock: 'bug contact' has been renamed to 'bug supervisor'. that's pretty much all to it :) we renamed it, since a 'bug contact' doesn't have to be subscribed to all the bug mail anymore.18:09
LaserJockBjornT: how does that work?18:10
LaserJocka Bug Supervisor can just unsubscribe from bugs like a normal user would?18:11
LaserJockdoesn't seem to work for me on edge18:13
BjornTLaserJock: no, not quite. some someone gets set as 'bug supervisor' for a project, he will automatically be (implicitly) subscried to the project's bugs. however, the bug supervisor choose to remove the subscription, and then he won't be subscribed to the implicitly subscribed bugs anymore.18:13
LaserJockok, so:18:13
LaserJock1) this is only for Projects, right?18:13
LaserJock2) current bug contacts are not automatically turned into bug supervisors?18:14
BjornTLaserJock: this is for Products and Distributions. they current bug contacts are automatically turned into bug supervisors, with a subscription. it's just a name change.18:20
LaserJockbut not for packages, right?18:22
LaserJockwhich is very key, since there are waaaaay more package bug contacts than Product or Distribution bug contacts18:23
=== salgado-lunch is now known as salgado
BjornTLaserJock: right, not for packages. 'bug contact' for packages were renamed to 'subscriber'. that's what they were, they never had any special privileges.18:26
LaserJockso that's an important distinction, IMO18:26
mrevellbjornT So, I should make that clear in the blog post.18:26
mrevellOkay, thanks LaserJock18:26
LaserJockyou don't necessarily want to write to the 1% of people will be affected ;-)18:27
LaserJockand get the rest of us all excited ;-)18:27
mrevellLaserJock: Sorry, the blog post starts off talking about project bug contact but it's obviously not clear enough. Thanks for letting me know.18:28
mrevellI've got to shoot. Back later.18:28

korpiosLaunchpad's "register" form states "Register an *upstream* open source project" ... what if I just want to register a new project that isn't already hosted anywhere else?  Am I at the wrong form?22:14

korpiosokay ... the upstream reference is a bit confusing :)22:15
rockstar_Just fill out the information, and then you can hash out the details once the project is created22:16
rockstar_You're right though, the upstream is a bit confusing22:16
