thumperpoolie: if we were going to have different branch icons for 'series branch' / 'core dev branch' / 'other person branch' -- what should those icons be?00:55
thumperpoolie: I was thinking different colour bazaar badges00:55
thumperpoolie: obviously one is yellow, as it is now00:56
thumperpoolie: what do you think about other colours?00:56
thumperpoolie: or should we have something completely different?00:56
pooliethumper, hm00:58
poolieso series branches i think are already sufficiently distinguished by the text next to them00:59
pooliei suppose to start with we could also use text to say it's a dev team branch00:59
pooliei'm not sure this is a really high priority issue01:00
poolieare users finding that they have trouble distinguishing branches by core devs vs others?  are there products where this problem is clearly shown?01:01
beunothumper, if I may, mayne the core-dev branch should have some sort of graphic that implies it's being worked on?01:04
beunos/mayne/maybe01:05
thumperpoolie: I was trying to help the situation where someone is hosting a project on launchpad, and there may be a number of branches associated with the project by the devs, then someone completely unrelated puts up a branch for the project.  Assuming that this branch is valid and appropriate it would be nice to show that the branch is by someone who is not yet a 'core dev'01:07
thumperbeuno: what about branches by core devs that aren't being worked on?01:07
thumperpoolie: it isn't a high priority issue01:07
thumperpoolie: I'm just tring to make the listings more suitable and useful for project listings01:08
thumperpoolie: while being friendly to the core devs of a particular project01:08
beunothumper, well, why would a core-dev have a branch that is now in the series, and not be "in development"?   While I understand it *might* happen, I think the general case is that if it's not part of a release/trunk/series, then it's probably "work-in-progress"01:09
thumperbeuno: what I was looking at was a different icon for a branch by a core dev that isn't associated with a series01:09
thumperbeuno: as often branches by core devs are likely to be "more interesting" than those by others01:10
beunothumper, right. Cutting-edge work in progress is very interesting for developers  :)    Anyway, I may be looking at it wrong, just thought I'd jump in01:11
thumperbeuno: I don't mind you jumping in :-)01:12
pooliethumper: you could show a little spaceman to go with the rocket?01:14
poolieor a shield-type badge, meaning "official"01:14

pooliehalo could be good01:14
thumperc.f. blessed01:14
poolietiny version of the project's logo01:15
thumperpoolie: for series branch perhaps01:15
thumperpoolie: I was really wanting this to be more similar to the blueprint icon colours, and the bug icon colours (showing importance)01:18
poolieok01:21
poolieso maybe we need a generic "branch" icon that can be colored?01:21
pooliehm, though should it be colored according to ownership, or status?01:21
wgrantStatus, or people will get confused with bugs.01:23
wgrantEr, wait, that's importance.01:23
wgrantNot status.01:23

poolieconfused yet? :)01:30
thumperpoolie: sorry, lost connectivity01:30
pooliehm maybe it would be nice if closed bugs had a cross-out drawn through them?01:30
pooliei don't think you missed much01:30
poolie10:21 <poolie> so maybe we need a generic "branch" icon that can be colored?01:30

poolie10:23 <wgrant> Er, wait, that's importance.01:30
thumperpeople get confused no matter what we do01:31
poolieso seriously i think we should not worry about this yet01:32
* thumper shrugs01:32
pooliei just tried clicking through some of the projects linked from the branch cloud and i never felt very confused about this01:33
pooliei realize i'm atypical01:34
pooliei think a halo would be totally fine, if you want to add it01:34

bca1hi there07:56
bca1i'm a mentor for the GSoC 2008, and my student and I are evaluating hosting projects, for the moment we use code.google but we are really interesting in launchpad, we have only one question with no answer: does launchpad provide a kind of wiki place or something similar that we can use to display documentation/tutorials ?07:58
jameshbca1: not at present07:59
bca1ok, so we need to setup an external website to present our project and give informations on how to use it08:00
bca1thanks for this quick answer08:01
asabilhi all10:48
asabilI have some troubles with the new launchpad ppa copy10:48
asabilI copied some source packages from gutsy to hardy10:49
asabilthey apparently got built correctly10:49
asabilbut they don't appear in the Packages file10:49
asabilhttp://ppa.launchpad.net/people-project/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/10:50
cprovasabil: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/22718410:51
ubottuLaunchpad bug 227184 in soyuz "Upload processor must reject duplicated binary uploads" [High,In progress] 10:51
cprovasabil: you have generated duplicated binaries (same name and version, but different contents). The archive files (the binaries previously generated in gutsy)  can't be modified.10:53
cprovasabil: I'm working in a fix that will make it clear that a mistake has happened while copying.10:54
asabiloh ok10:56
asabilso what would the copy feature be good for ?10:56
cprovasabil: to copy source & binaries from one suite to another, for instance.10:57
asabilI basically just want to publish the packages for both gutsy and hardy10:57
emgentcprov: if you have little bit time see #canonical-sysadmin11:01
wgrantasabil: Then check the 'Copy binaries' box.11:01
asabilwhat does the copy binaries do ?11:01
asabilcopy the binaries ?11:01
wgrantCopies the binaries.11:01
asabileven if they are incompatible ?11:02
wgrantYes.11:02
asabilthe current UI is just confusing11:02
wgrantHow?11:02
wgrantWhat could 'Copy binaries' mean other than ... copy the binaries?11:02
emgentSteveA: ping11:02
asabilwould't it be possible to have a set of checkboxes with the various supported distros ?11:02
wgrantemgent: Don't ping random LP devs...11:03
emgentwgrant: SteveA is a lp leader11:03
wgrantHe's not a Malone dev.11:03
cprovasabil: it would, but that's another bug, right ?  It's not related to the fact that you can't rebuild sources withing the same PPA.11:05
asabilI am asking about the use of the copy feature11:05
SteveAemgent: hi11:06
asabilhow useful is it if copying from Gutsy to Hardy for example would systematically fail11:06
wgrantasabil: Why would it fail?11:07
cprovasabil: it wouldn't fail if you wait the gutsy binaries to be built and copy them too.11:07
asabilbut I don't want to copy the binaries11:08
wgrantWhy not>?11:08
asabilI want the source to be copied and Hardy binaries to be generated11:08
wgrantIt will probably work.11:08
wgrantHundreds of our binaries haven't changed since Warty.11:08
wgrantMost of them haven't changed since Gutsy.11:08
asabilI am sorry I cannot see the point11:08
wgrantWhy do you want them rebuilt?11:09
wgrantUnless it is unlucky enough to depend on a library that has had a SONAME bump, the Gutsy binaries will work fine in Hardy.11:09
SteveAbigjools: hi11:10
bigjoolsSteveA: hi there11:10
SteveAemgent is having a problem with package sync requests.  would you be able to help him out?11:10
bigjoolsI can have a look11:11
SteveAthanks11:11
bigjoolsemgent: what's up?11:12
emgentseems lp problem11:12
emgent(11:57) ( Ng) emgent: well from our MTA logs it looks like your mail was delivered  fine, so we'll need  to check with the launchpad guys for what their code did with it11:13
cprovSteveA: package-sync-request == open bugs via email.11:13
emgentrequestsync script send fine request but launchpad dont process it.11:13
bigjoolsemgent: I don't have any context, can you explain what the problem is please11:13
SteveAcprov: oh right, it's using the bug tracker as a queue of tickets11:14
SteveAin that case, it's one of the bugs guys11:14
cprovSteveA: exactly.11:14
SteveABjornT: hi11:14
emgentbigjools: i use requestsync script and the script send fine mail, but launchpad dont process it.11:15
BjornThi SteveA 11:15
SteveAhi BjornT.  emgent is having a problem with getting bugmail processed by launchpad, when sent via the requestsync script.11:16
SteveAhe's been in touch with admins, who say the mail arrived with us.11:16
SteveAis there someone on your team who can look into it?11:16
BjornTSteveA: i could take a quick look at it11:19
emgentthanks11:19
BjornTemgent: can you give me a copy (including headers) of one of the mail you sent?11:19
emgentBjornT: the script sent mail, i can sey to you mail address: emgent@emanuele-gentili.com11:20
emgentit`s sympa Sync11:20
BjornTemgent: seeing a copy of a sent mail would help to debug it. also, if you give me the message-id of one of the mails, i could look into it more easily.11:24
emgentBjornT: you can ask to Ng (canonical syadmin) he saw my problem some moment ago.11:25
emgentBjornT: join #canonical-sysadmin11:26
slytherinCan I ask a question about PPA here?11:35
wgrantslytherin: This place is probably better than any.11:36
cprovslytherin: yes11:37
wgrantslytherin: Were there any builds created at all?11:37
wgrantI didn't think Intrepid had any PPA archs yet.11:38
slytherinwgrant: that is what I am not able to understand. When I built the package locally for hardy it worked. But since I didn't want to setup intrepid chroot I uploaded it to PPA11:38
wgranthttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas seems to suggest that there are no Intrepid archs yet. cprov?11:38
cprovwgrant: yes, intrepid is not open for PPA yet.11:39
wgrantcprov: Shouldn't it be rejecting things?11:39
wgrantI've seen this asked quite a number of times now.11:40
cprovwgrant: yes, sort of, we were not expecting series to take to long for supporting PPAs.11:40
wgrantIs it the debootstrapping breakage holding it up?11:41
cprovwgrant: I remember of a bug opened for a similar problem (Architecture: sparc powerpc, for instance)11:42
wgrantThat's quite different, though.11:42
cprovwgrant: no, it's not. they are all pointless source uploads, they can't be build in PPA context, so they should be rejected. 11:44
wgrantI guess...11:45
cprovwgrant: accepting the source upload just create false expectations, right?11:45
wgrantPerhaps so.11:46
wgrantWill primary reject if I upload something for m68k?11:46
cprovwgrant: currently not, but it should as well11:46
wgrantcprov: I suppose rejecting if there are no valid architectures can't cause anything to go horribly wrong. Seems a bit odd, but probably can't do anything nasty.11:48
cprovwgrant: it like if we say: "It requires, at least, one valid arch to get the source accepted"11:49
cprovsomething in that directions, 'powerpc m68K' would fail in PPA but work in primary archive11:50
wgrantRight, that's say.11:53
wgrant*sane11:53
cprovwgrant: the bug I mentioned was https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/17386612:08
