LeeJunFanover the last few days I haven't been able to successfuly use debmirror: dists/hardy-security/main/binary-i386/Packages failed md5sum check, removing06:24
wgrantLeeJunFan: From which mirror?06:41
LeeJunFanwgrant: us.archive.ubuntu.com06:42
wgrantHmm, that's the main mirror.06:43
wgrantYou're probably not meant to be using -security from them06:43
wgrantAlthough that probably still shouldn't be happening.06:45
StevenKHi, I've discovered one of the packages in the ubuntu-mobile PPA is not in the Packages file. Is there anything I can do to correct it?06:48
wgrantStevenK: Which is it?06:48
StevenKmoblin-image-creator06:49
StevenKWhat's worrying me is it may be more than one06:49
wgrantHuh.06:50
wgrantThe source is there, but the binaries aren't. SPecial.06:50
LeeJunFanwgrant: that's the one I've always used, I get that error on some other dists as well, intrepid (anything), hardy-security...06:52
wgrantLeeJunFan: How long has it been?06:52
LeeJunFan3 days I think.06:52
StevenKwgrant: The binaries are listed on the PPA page06:53
wgrantStevenK: So I see.06:53
wgrantAnd there's nothing obviously wrong with them, other than the fact that they're arch-indep.06:53
StevenKWhich isn't a problem. :-)06:53
wgrantIf Soyuz eats binaries, it eats arch-indep ones.06:54
wgrantIt's happened at least twice before.06:54
StevenKAh. Fun.06:54
wgrantThough for reasons that are impossible here.06:54
StevenKThat was due to promotion ...06:54
wgrantYes.06:54
* wgrant uploads to his PPA to see if it's reproducable.06:55
LeeJunFanwgrant: looks like tuesday was the last good debmirror I got.06:56
wgrantLeeJunFan: I think it's something on your end, like a proxy. I can mirror hardy-security/i386 fine from archive.ubuntu.com07:00
wgrantStevenK: Interesting, copying moblin-image-creator into my PPA worked fine.07:02
wgrantIt would be nice if we could see the binary publishing status, but we can't for PPA packages :(07:03
LeeJunFanok, I'll switch to another link and try.07:04
wgrantAnd somebody DoSed the i386 PPA buildds, so my fresh test upload won't build for another little while.07:06
LeeJunFanwgrant: looks like it was entries in .temp in the local mirror dir.07:07
LeeJunFanthanks for verifying it for me.07:07
wgrantLeeJunFan: Aha. No problem.07:08
\shwgrant, DoSed i386 PPA?07:11
\shmoins btw07:11
wgrant\sh: The queue is immense.07:12
wgrantALthough they must be langpacks, as mine is already building.07:12
wgrantMorning.07:12
\shah07:12
StevenKThe queue has been pitti'd again?07:12
StevenKYup. 378 langpacks07:13
geser2 of the 3 i386-PPA-buildds are building language packs right now07:13
wgrantWithin a couple of hours their priority will likely have exceeded that of any other build.07:14
wgrantSo it'll be properly DoSed.07:14
\shthey should add another one for those langpacks07:16
StevenKThere is an open bug that langpacks should have the lowest priority07:16
wgrantOr perhaps just forbid them from at least one buildd.07:16
wgrantStevenK: Right, but over time it goes up.07:16
Hobbseewhat do you guys need boosted?07:19

wgrantal-maisan: Are you around and able to look into a PPA oddity?07:35
al-maisanwgrant: what is the PPA oddity about?07:36
wgrantal-maisan: StevenK has noted that the moblin-image-creator binary is missing from Packages in the ubuntu-mobile PPA, though it's in the pool.07:36
wgrantCopying it to another PPA gets the binary published fine there.07:37
al-maisanwgrant: OK, so the package is not listed on the GUI page?07:37
wgrantal-maisan: It's there, but not in Packages.gz.07:37
wgrantIt should be in http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ubuntu/dists/hardy/main/binary-i386/Packages.07:38
StevenKOr binary-lpia07:38

wgrantcprov: ^^09:29
cprovwgrant: okay, let me check, one sec09:31
cprovStevenK: was it correct at any point ?09:33
StevenKcprov: Most likely. It was conspicious in it's absence.09:36
StevenK(As it were)09:36
wgrantIt only had two days to be there, didn't it?09:36
StevenKI'm not certain if it has been there. The version previous was in there09:38
cprovyes, looking at the logs it was correctly published on 2008-06-04 04:00:32 (BST)09:38
wgrantcprov: Ah, so it is no longer published, but death row hasn't been processed?09:41
wgrantIs binary publishing status for PPAs deliberately hidden to simplify things?09:42
cprovwgrant: yes it is09:42
cprovwgrant: but its not the case, its binary is also published.09:43
wgrantAh, even more special.09:43
wgrantSo NMAFA is being dodgy?09:43
cprovwgrant: uhm, I see a bug09:53
cprovwgrant: https://edge.launchpad.net/~alexander-l-lopatin/+archive?field.name_filter=creator&field.status_filter=any09:53
wgrantIt's dominating cross-archive?09:55
cprovwgrant: he copied you source & binaries and superseded it in his PPA, since it's a arch-indep the dominator took all occurrence of the same binarypackagerelease09:55
wgrantYep.09:55
cprovwgrant: yes, it's very broken.09:55
wgrantSo another arch-indep incorrect domination bug? I was right!09:55
wgrantI jokingly said it would have been eaten because it was arch-indep earlier, as that's where the other binary-eating bugs have been.09:56
cprovwgrant: yes, you are right09:56
wgrantWhy is arch-indep domination so different?09:56
cprovwgrant: could you please file a bug I will start working09:56
wgrantAnd can I get primary things dominated by uploaded the same thing to my PPA? Sounds good.09:56
wgrant*by uploading09:57
cprovwgrant: becuase it has to dominate all binarypackagerelease (across distroarchseries) atomically09:57
wgrantcprov: Ah, right, so there's a separate BPR for each DAS. I didn't realise that.09:58
cprovwgrant: no, it only affects archives where the same BPR is published09:58
cprovwgrant: no, there is not, it's the same BPR published in different DASs09:58
wgrantcprov: I currently have the same version of soundconverter in my PPA/{hardy,intrepid} as in primary/intrepid. If I upload a new soundconverter to my PPA, will primary/intrepid's soundconverter binary vanish?09:59
wgrantcprov: Ah, so multiple BPPs, right.09:59
wgrantThat makes more sense.09:59
cprovwgrant: the intrepid probably will10:00
wgrantcprov: Right, so it's fairly bad.10:00
cprovwgrant: yes, quite bad, needs a fix ASAP.10:00
* wgrant files the bug.10:00
wgrantcprov: Thanks for looking into this.10:00
cprovStevenK: I've requested the re-publication of your binaries (ubuntu-mobile) they will show up in the indexes in 15 minutes.10:05
cprovStevenK: sorry for this inconvenience :(10:05
StevenKcprov: It's okay, thanks!10:06
wgrantcprov: Is that two arch-indep domination bugs in as many days, or is bug #237353 not arch-indep-specific?10:14
ubottuLaunchpad bug 237353 in soyuz "binary wrongly surperseded?" [High,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/23735310:14
cprovwgrant: this one is not exactly the same issue10:18
cprovwgrant: it was cause by doubly copying the same arch-indep binary to the same target.10:19
cprovwgrant: it's another bug in the same code, though.10:19
wgrantAh.10:20
wgrantDo we know if any primary binaries are missing because of this?10:20
cprovwgrant: I can check, but it's unlikely, since no binaries were copied from PPAs.10:23
cprovwgrant: we already rebuild, so they are different BPRs.10:24
cprovs/already/always/, sorry10:24
wgrantAhh, true, forgot that.10:24
wgrantIt's not like SourcePackageNames where they're always shared, of course. I'm stupid.10:26

cprovwgrant: sorry ? 10:58
wgrantAh, so I see. Rather nice.10:58
wgrantcprov: I didn't think /ubuntu/+ppas searched through package names, so was wondering if you'd used some tool only accessible by Soyuz devs to work out where the guilty moblin-image-creator was.10:59

intellectronicawhat happens when you try to push15:42
brandon_rhodesI created a "ReleaseThis" project and get an error "Project 'ReleaseThis' does not exist." when I try to: bzr push bzr+ssh://brandon-rhodes@bazaar.launchpad.net/~brandon-rhodes/ReleaseThis/trunk15:43
brandon_rhodesThe full error:15:43
brandon_rhodesbzr: ERROR: Generic bzr smart protocol error: Permission denied: "Project 'ReleaseThis' does not exist."15:43
brandon_rhodesSorry if you just said something useful; xchat grabbed my focus atop its "close" button right as I was clicking :-/15:45
intellectronicabrandon_rhodes: just a guess, but what happens if you try releasethis instead of ReleasThis (in the branch url)?15:45
* brandon_rhodes adjusts his FVWM setup so that it will ignore the focus-grabbing messages from xchat15:47
brandon_rhodesSo, this "bzr push", with the lower-case, is hanging indefinitely instead of returning immediately with the error15:49
brandon_rhodesWhich I can't decide is an improvement or not15:49
intellectronicaheh15:52
intellectronicano idea why it should hang. try again?15:53
brandon_rhodesAh!  After four minutes, it says "Created new branch"15:53
brandon_rhodesSo the lower case thing was my problem15:53
brandon_rhodesIt should issue a warning if it sees a capital letter15:54
brandon_rhodes:-)15:54
intellectronicawhy should it? the client doesn't know about that15:54
intellectronicait's launchpad that doesn't allow mixed-case project names15:55
brandon_rhodesAh, it's not a launchpad-specific mapper between person/project/branch URLs and actual repositories?15:55
brandon_rhodesI figured there was launchpad magic that understood the three-level stuff, and thus returned me an error saying there was no project with the name of the middle URL component15:55
intellectronicaoh, actually, looking at the error, you're probably right. it looks like a server error15:56

kikopwnguin, in this case.. it's kinda hard to avoid without offering you more questions :)20:35
gmbpwnguin: Actually, looking at the code, the problem here is that sourceforge and gforge bug URLs can look identical.

kikoMvG, https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/vpnc/trunk21:57
kikoit'll be importing soon21:57
kikoit's not so many revisions, so it should be finished in an hour or so21:57
MvGkiko: Thanks!21:57
MvGIs that the testing version, or already the official one?21:58
kikothat will be the official import21:58
kikoonce it's running21:58
bdmurraykiko: hey there22:06
kikobdmurray!22:07
kikoyou rockin' and rolling?22:07
bdmurrayA bit.  My e-mail thread on launchpad-users has strayed away from what I was really curious about.22:07
bdmurrayShould bugs with duplicates not be eligible for expiration.22:09
Triskelioswhat kind of interfaces does launchpad offer to for packaging processes? most package consolidations currently seem to just frontends to information from outside sources22:18
pwnguinkiko: is there a specific project i need to file a bug against? launchpad itself or?22:18
Triskelios*seem to be22:19
kikopwnguin, malone/+filebug22:19
kikoTriskelios, what do you mean, exactly? are you asking about PPAs in particular?22:20
kikobdmurray, it hasn't strayed -- Bjorn and I said that no, they shouldn't.22:20
kikooh22:20
kikobdmurray, bugs /with/ duplicates22:20
kikosorry, I think we both missed that :)22:20
kikobdmurray, can you reply again pointing out our myopia? :)22:20
bdmurraythat's what I get for making it the last line. ;)22:21
bdmurraykiko: will do22:21
Triskelioskiko: no, just generic packaging processes for an entire community22:21
kikoTriskelios, okay, I really don't know what you mean. 22:22
kikocan you give me a concrete use case?22:23
=== EdwinGrub is now known as EdwinGrubbs
Triskelioskiko: given a a medium-size package repository with dozens of maintainers, I want to move all of the processes (managing maintainers, adding packages, tracking bugs/upstream, autobuilds and publishing releases with our own mechanisms) into launchpad22:29
kikoTriskelios, tell me more about this package repository. what sort of packages, which upstreams, etc?22:31
pwnguinTriskelios: group PPAs sound close to fitting the bill, but I dont think you can file bugs against them yet22:35
Triskelioskiko: this a repository of spec files (derived from the rpmbuild spec format) which will target two different distributions (with two different binary packaging mechanisms) on multiple architectures. the repository packages close to an entire distro so upstream is hundreds of different free-software sources22:35
Triskeliospwnguin: this is not a simple apt repository22:35
pwnguini dislike the word simple22:35
kikoheh22:36
kikoTriskelios, so.. I think that yes, launchpad can support that. let me elaborate.22:36
kikoTriskelios, first, I think you want to keep these spec files in revision control, right? 22:36
kikoTriskelios, you can use one or more branches, associated to one or more projects22:36
pwnguindoes LP offer non deb build services?22:37
=== salgado is now known as salgado-afk
Triskeliospwnguin: I just mean this is supposed to be used by an entire packaging community, not an individual, and I'm not asking about a service for a specific software mechanism. we're okay with using our own autobuilders22:39
pwnguini guess i dont understand -- are you a new distro or not?22:40
Triskelioskiko: we currently have a crappy scm for the files, I'm looking at Bazaar's integration with the various SCMs22:40
Triskeliospwnguin: basically our project started as a file dump, but we're trying to organise things so we can actually publish binaries for a distro22:42
kikoTriskelios, this sounds really cool22:42
pwnguinoh, i see. you want to use LP to host the SPEC files in RCS22:42
kikoTriskelios, so I think launchpad fits your bill pretty well. you can have nested teams, individual upstream projects, team-committing branches, do releases, announcements, etc.22:43
pwnguinkiko: so... while filing the bug I tried again to get the error message.  works now =(22:46
pwnguinkiko: except the URL is busted22:47
pwnguinbut thats a known bug22:47

pwnguin^ not that22:48
Triskelioskiko: cool. I'm trying to dig through the documentation (which seems mostly focused on single projects) right now22:48
kikoTriskelios, I'm not entirely sure how you'd model your project -- as a project group with individual projects under it, or something mroe complex.22:49
pwnguinkiko: if you hit the upstream bug link in on the page, it cries page not found -- apparently this is one of those "gforge is not SF" things22:49
Triskelioskiko: I'm looking at debian and ubuntu as models really, although a lot of their maintainer stuff happens externally22:51
kikopwnguin, yeah, gforge is kinda weird. we need to sort out the links to that properly22:51
kikoTriskelios, well.. we don't have bzr for distro packages yet, which is one issue.22:52
pwnguinfixed soon /crosses fingers22:53

Triskelioskiko: that is a potential blocker22:56
kikoTriskelios, well, you could just work off team branches or product branches for now.22:57
Triskelioskiko: would that be confusing to users who want to file bugs?22:58
kikoTriskelios, it depends, I guess. If you have thousands of packages that users will file bugs against, then a bit22:59
kikoTriskelios, what do you use today?22:59
Triskelioskiko: it's currently a single project on sourceforge. the interface sucks23:00
kikoTriskelios, so, I think we could do this. you could request a distro on answers.l.n (see /topic), and have your bugs imported from SF.net. you could define a few teams, and then register a product which held your branches, for now. there's no problem connecting any branch to a bug, so that would work fine.23:01
Triskelioskiko: that sounds okay. I want to make sure this will scale properly once we start delivering binaries23:05
kikoTriskelios, well, we currently only build .debs. that's one thing that you need to consider.23:06
Triskelioskiko: are there places where LP extracts package metadata, or makes other file format assumptions, that we should be aware of?23:10
kikoTriskelios, nope.23:11
kikoTriskelios, only when you upload packages to soyuz or a PPA that is.23:11
kikobut you don't need to use that.23:11
TriskeliosI didn't expect to have autobuilds certainly, although I'd like to have integration with our autobuild system23:11
kikoTriskelios, I can imagine you integrating via bzr branching, which should be a great way to do it.23:12
Triskelioskiko: thanks for the help, I'll discuss this with other project members23:33

MvGlirc apparently had its last CVS sync fail in 2007-03-01 and no new attempt since. I just got a successful checkout, so maybe someone might trigger automatic mirroring again.23:48
