mathiazHi - I'm trying to setup a cvs import of openldap in launchpad. The information on https://launchpad.net/openldap/main is correct. However the import status is set to Test Failed. What should I do to get the import fixed ?00:26
kikomathiaz, well, let me convert it to new-style first, but check https://help.launchpad.net/VcsImportRequests00:41
blueyedCan you throw more hardware at launchpad.net?01:02
kikoblueyed, depends on what. what's bothering you? 01:07
kikomathiaz, https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/openldap/main01:08
blueyedkiko: I find launchpad.net often very slow.. no parts of it in particular, but code.launchpad.net is often even slower..01:09
mathiazkiko: awesome - thanks :)01:09
kikoblueyed, edge or non-edge?01:09
blueyedI would just like to see *.launchpad.net getting snappier.01:09
blueyedkiko: edge01:09
kikoblueyed, we've been doing nothing but profiling and improving things over the past 2 weeks :)01:10
blueyedgreat!!01:10
kikothis next release won't be that much better, but in 2 releases we will be really great01:10
blueyedis there a difference between edge and "live" in hardware?01:10
kikonope. only software.01:10
kikoone big issue will be fixed for 1.2.6 though, which is serving images and other static content from a front-end01:10
blueyedsweet. thanks!01:10
kikowe do that for some content (icing) but not for most of the inline content (stuff under /@@)01:11
blueyedkiko: I've noticed some months ago that you may improve performance a lot by allowing the browser to cache the content (which is more strict on ssl by default)01:11
blueyedkiko: just sending some http header would be enough - I'll have to look it up again, though.01:12
kikoblueyed, I think we do allow content-caching, but perhaps something's regressed. if you can give me a hint, I'll look into it01:13

wgrantThe new bug page looks rather cluttered.03:21
wgrantAnd there's an awful lot of wasted space.03:21
wgrantHmmmmm, gandwana is sending email with timestamps an hour later than reality, it seems. Or at least for new subscriptions.04:30
wgrantLooks like it's ignoring the fact it's now UTC+1...04:31
Hobbseeooh, strike.05:33
Hobbseekiko-zzz: who should get the feedback about the new edge?05:35
jameshbugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad should05:38
jameshHobbsee: what's the problem?05:38
Hobbseejamesh: no problems, per se - just some comments on the design of it05:39
Hobbseeand suggestions of making it a little more...damn.  forgotten the word i want here.05:39
Hobbseecohesive is what i'm thinking, but i don't think that's right.05:39
jameshphew.  my changes in the new edge rollout aren't design related05:40
jamesh:)05:40
Hobbseejamesh: nah, it's not you, i don't think :)05:40
wgrantLess cluttered and space-wasting at the same time?05:40
jameshfor the bugs page, the aim is that the actions menu on the left will go completely05:40
Hobbseejamesh: i can see that :)05:40
jameshso it does duplicate things for now, but that is temporary05:40
Hobbseewgrant: i don't see overly much space wasting there.05:41
Hobbseejamesh: i don't see an actions panel on the new edge now, btw.05:41
jameshlooks like it has gone now.05:41
jameshI think the aim is to remove the left margin portlets completely05:41
jamesh(integrating them into the main page)05:41
wgrantHobbsee: The CVE list wastes space. There is lots of space to the left of the 'Update description / tags'..05:41
wgrantjamesh: So the subscribers list will push useful content even further out of view. Even better.05:42
Hobbseewgrant: ah yes, the cve bit was one that i was going to comment on05:42
Hobbseeyeah, i see what you mean05:43
jameshwgrant: I think the subscriber list is meant to go next to some other bits05:43
wgrantIMO the release nomination link should also be next to each root task, too.05:43
jameshHobbsee/wgrant: please give mpt your feedback though.05:43
wgrantI think most of the metadata should be kept out of the main content pane.05:44
wgrantjamesh: I don't think it's possible to fit the subscribers list on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/47768 into the content pane.05:45
ubottuLaunchpad bug 47768 in initramfs-tools "Mount Root Files System Failed" [Critical,Confirmed] 05:45
wgrantWithout annoying a lot of people.05:45
Hobbseewgrant: putting the subscribers list at the bottom, or at least, not at the top, was going to be one of my suggestions too.05:46
Hobbseewhich doesn't quite make it so much of a problem05:46
jameshwgrant: by the look of it, the list will be to the right, beside the bug description and comments05:46
jameshI guess comments will go to full width at the end of the subscriber list05:46
wgrantjamesh: Oh, so this is all designed but invisible to the users! woot.05:47
jameshwgrant: I don't think it has been implemented yet.05:47
wgrantjamesh: Right, but it might be a little better to request comments on the design, rather than on an incomplete implementation.05:48
wgrantWhich is going to be pushed out to everybody in a few days.05:48
Hobbseewgrant: release early, release often?05:49
wgrantHobbsee: Perhaps, but also release parts of the specs for user-facing features before they appear on production.05:49
jameshwgrant: the intention was to get this up on edge a lot sooner05:49
Hobbseewgrant: oh i know :)05:49
wgrantjamesh: I'm aware. But this is a general problem.05:50
wgrantDesigning things, and pushing them out, without ever asking if they're useful, or if the UI looks like it has been hit by a train.05:50
Hobbseewgrant: methinks you're bugging the wrong person about that05:51
jameshsome of infrastructure changes I did made edge updates problematic (now fixed though)05:51
Hobbseewgrant: although you're very, very correct.05:51
mptGoooooooooooooooooooood morning Launchpadders!08:01
lifelesswhere?08:01
mptEverywhere that's morning08:02
wgrantDoes somebody here have the power to poke gandwana and work out why it is falsifying mail timestamps?08:05
wgrantIt's generally a fairly annoying thing for it to do.08:08
mptwgrant, I removed the "CVE References" heading when there are none, and moved the "Update description / tags" to the left, but it looks like those changes got reverted08:09
=== RAOF_ is now known as RAOF
wgrantmpt: Interesting.08:11
mptwgrant, actually, no, I think it's just that edge is using a version before those changes08:12
wgrant(although I do generally deal with bugs with CVEs, so might not have noticed even if they weren't)08:12
wgrantAhh.08:12
mptso they will be in the next release08:13
wgrantHopefully.08:13
wgrantShouldn't the 'Nominate for release' link be on the master task for a project/distro, as it's an action on that task?08:14
mptYah, edge is running revision 6532, and my fixes were later than that08:14
mptHeyyyy, that's a good idea08:14
wgrantAlthough I guess it doesn't make sense now due to some other bugs.08:14
mptWhich other bugs?08:15
* wgrant pulls them up.08:15
wgrantWell, while the page loads... basically, the release nomination applies to the entire bug, which is wrong.08:16
wgrantBug #110195, for example.08:16
ubottuLaunchpad bug 110195 in malone "Nomination for a release on one source package shouldn't affect any others" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/11019508:16
wgrantMoving the link to where I suggested would make that UI easy, though.08:17
wgrantIt's very difficult in the current or old setup.08:17
mptok08:18
wgrantWhy somebody decided that release nominations operate at a bug and not task level, I don't know.08:19
persiaI've a use case involving an SRU where that is broken, if it helps as input.08:27
wgrantpersia: LaserJock gave a nice security example on that bug.08:27
persiaExcellent.08:28
wgrantpersia: Though more examples are always good.08:28
wgrantI can't see how it could possibly be easier to implement it how it is now. The existence of bug #162411 shows that it's all stored separately anyway.08:30

Hobbseewhy can't i sort by published time for the ppa archive pagse?08:54
Hobbseei can for the queues.08:54
wgrantHobbsee: Because you haven't filed a bug about it, I guess.08:55

wgrantIt's not going to be any quicker if you don't file it.08:55
wgrantI hope.08:56
mptwgrant, you target a bug to a project milestone by clicking on the name of the project, and using the "Milestone" menu08:56
mptIs that what you mean?08:56
* Hobbsee grumbles at launchpad.08:56
wgrantmpt: That works.08:56
wgrant\sh: See what mpt said.08:56
mpt\sh, ^^^08:56
wgrantmpt: Actually, won't clicking on the name of the project take you somewhere else? Like, the project page?08:57

wgrant\sh: AHa.08:58
* wgrant checks.08:59
wgrantI think you have to create one under a release or series.08:59
wgrant\sh: There's an 'Add milestone' link in the actions menu of a project series.09:00
\shhttps://edge.launchpad.net/leonov ok...series is just for shortcuts of branches09:00
wgrantThere are more purposes for a series, but that is what they're largely used for at the moment.09:00

Hobbseempt: why oh why is the activity log reported 20 ours ago by whoever, not the bug?09:01
wgrantHobbsee: I commented in one of my bugs that it was badly named and placed.09:02
Hobbseewgrant: are bugs really going to help there?09:02
Hobbseeyou'd probably do better with a list, and keeping on giving it on irc when the responsible people wake up :P09:02
wgrantHobbsee: They help more than other things, in my experience.09:03
wgrantSimply complaining on IRC will often yield a somewhat less positive outcome.09:03
wgrant\sh: Oh dear, you've used series very strangely in leonov.09:05
wgrantThat would probably work better as a project group, but Launchpad doesn't model your situation well.09:06
wgrantIMO09:06
wgrantOr are they actually branches of the same codebase?09:06
\shwgrant: TBH, I'm using the series feature as bzr shortcuts which works quite well ;()09:07
wgrantBut with different focuses until they're more mature?09:07
\shwgrant: and they are branches of the same codebase...09:07
\shwgrant: right :)09:07
wgrantAh, so that's not too terrible, then.09:07
wgrantThough they're still not really distinct series.09:07
\shwgrant: actually, there should be something else then "series" when you want something like lp:<project>/<branch> and not: lp:~<team|user>/<project>/<branch>09:08

mptwgrant, ah, I see. Currently there's a box just for the package for the context you're in. The tooltip would have been available for every package the bug was filed against, regardless of whether you were in that context or not (yay). It was that multiplication that caused the performance problem.09:21
Hobbseejamesh: i'd be careful not to change too much of the UI at the same time (people are still attempting to use launchpad here, and hate resorting to firefox page search every time they want to find something), but i think that's mpt's plan, yes.  and it's probably a good one.09:21
mptwgrant, so the answer is, only on bug reports filed against many packages.09:21
wgrantmpt: That's what I meant by huge bugs, right.09:21
Hobbseempt: that bug report is filed on *one* package.  are you telling me that it does not suffer from 241150?09:21
mptHobbsee, I wasn't telling you anything right at the moment09:22
mptHobbsee, but since the source package details box is due to disappear soon, I doubt it's worth moving it above the subscribers list just for a few weeks.09:23
Hobbseempt: oh, i mixed up the statements about single-task bugs.  my apologies.09:23
* Hobbsee ponders that.09:24
Hobbseempt: i guess.  i guess i was hoping to see launchpad become more usable w.r.t. that panel, even for those few weeks.09:25
Hobbseei can see your argument, but i can't really agree with it - as you're about to move the information in that panel into greater prominance anyway09:26
wgrantHobbsee: GreaseMonkey it.09:26
Hobbseewgrant: i do.  but as you say in your bug, ti's a pain when i do want to see the subscriptions.09:26
Hobbseeand greasemonkey isn't a solution for everyone.09:26
wgrantHobbsee: I'm thinking I might write a Greasemonkey thing to contract the implicit subscriptions.09:27
mpthmmmm09:27
Hobbseewgrant: i'd appreciate a link to that, if you do.09:27
wgrantOf course.09:27

wgrantDid I suggest that in the bug? I forget.09:28
mptif there are >n of them where n ≈ 2009:28
Hobbseewgrant: that being said, i'm suspecting i'll stop using launchpad for a couple of months for anything serious, just so I don't have to go thru the frustration of finding things (fi they still remain) every couple of weeks.09:28
mptHobbsee, is Launchpad really that bad?!?09:29
Hobbseempt: i'm finding it hellishly confusing currently, not having done any sponsorship for like...a month or so.09:29

carlosother than that, quite good. What about you?12:51
barryhubuntu: thanks for the info.  that helped.  i'll go ahead and approve it.12:51
hubuntuthanks barry 12:51

kikocarlos, it's fun, not tedious! I've been neck-deep into getting 1.2.6 out the door. you don't wanna know how much work it has been!12:51
kikobarry, I think we should email people in CC: when blocking an approval on jorge12:52
carloskiko: well, looking at it in that way... :-)12:52
barrykiko: actually, jorge is supposed to watch that page every day, just like me <wink>12:52
kikobarry, yeah, but I bet mark don't hold him responsible guvnor12:52
kikocarlos, it's almost coming together now. some final bits to RC in. we've delayed rollout to monday though!12:52
barrykiko: i'll send an email about the 1/2 dozen still held teams12:53
carlosisn't that version going to be 2.0 ?12:53

kikowgrant, siretart: ping?13:16
wgrantkiko: Hi.13:16
kikowgrant, we have trac and bugzilla launchpad plugins now, and I want to get some sites running them to help us test them. can you help us?13:17
wgrantkiko: Unfortunately I'm not an upstream.13:19
wgrantAre these the plugins that allow syncing in the opposite direction?13:19
kikowgrant, sure, but you use those upstream trackers, and this enables bi-di communication with them13:19
kikoyes13:19
kiko William Grant             |      613:19
kikoyou have registered 6 trackers yourself :)13:19
=== salgado-afk is now known as salgado
wgrantkiko: Now that's one query I've never seen available publicly - is it not, or is that one part of LP I've missed?13:21
kikoit's not available, mark just cooked it up and pointed it to me! :)13:21
wgrantAnd, well, I rarely interact directly with the upstream trackers - LP makes it too convenient to have to.13:21
wgrantAha.13:21
kikowgrant, c'mon, you should be able to nag some sysops out there.. :)13:22
wgrantThe one upstream I interact regularly with uses BerliOS, unfortunately :(13:22
wgrantI do wish I could help, but this is unfortunately a case where I cannot.13:24
siretartkiko: pong!13:28
kikosiretart, so you also come up as one of the people who has registered the most remote bugtrackers13:30
kikosiretart, I wanna know if you don't want to help us find beta test sites for our trac and bugzilla plugins13:30
siretartkiko: I'm not sure I understand, but does this mean comments filed and status changes in launchpad will be automatically propagated to the upstream bug tracker?13:30
kikoyep13:30
kikoif they enable it13:30
siretartkiko: as for bugzilla: I think the xine project would be a good candidate. they recently moved to bugzilla 313:30
siretartah, so this is opt-in13:30
siretartgreat13:30
kikoyeah!13:31
kikosiretart, can you chat with them?13:31
kikoand get back to gmb and me13:31
siretartI'll ask them, sure. Is there a wiki page or something I can show them for details?13:31
kikosiretart, no, but gmb will be sending out an announcement today (he doesn't know yet ;) and he'll include you in that list.13:32
siretartah, ok. cool13:32
siretartkiko: btw, if these plugins allow bi-directional communication, are they also capable of doing uni-directional syncing?13:33
siretartkiko: I could imaging that mirroring debian bugs would be very benifical for ubuntu13:33
wgrantThat has been coming for a while now :(13:33
wgrantIt would make things such as RC bug tracking so easy.13:34
kikosiretart, well.. debbugs imports, we can already do -- the UI isn't there, though13:35
siretartI see13:36
siretartkiko: and btw, did you see my email I wrote you some time ago as the new lp liason guy?13:36
kikosiretart, I did, just been too sandbagged with 1.2.613:37
siretartah, okay, I wasn't sure if it got lost or something in transit13:37
wgrantkiko: Wasn't 1.2.6 meant to be 2.0? Or was that 1.2.7?13:37
kikoit's 1.2.713:38
wgrantAnd are these database layer changes the migration to Storm?13:39
kikowell we had already run storm for a while, but this is an update and using storm in more places13:40
wgrantAh.13:40
glatzorhello danilos, as far as I can remember you wrote a python api for handling po files some time ago. could you point me to the source code? I would like to improve my podiff tool.14:23
glatzordanilos, by the way one of your translators called imre (who also works as a professional translators) wants to start collecting messages for a test or training template14:26
glatzordanilos, would the best approach be to setup a new project with a bzr repository containg the template? How could we cleanup the already made suggestions?14:32
hubuntuare there any webmasters for Ubuntu.com here? any Idea of where to find them?14:32
kikohubuntu, talk to newz200014:32
bimberihubuntu: If it's a problem with the site you can report it here:  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+filebug14:41

popeyis it safe / easy to fully delete a user from lp? even if that user has commits to a code branch? or should I leave the user kicking about?15:53
popey(rationale is, I am creating a tutorial / screencast and will register a couple of "demo" accounts to show stuff, and after the screencast they'll probably not be needed any more)15:53
salgadopopey, can't you use staging for that?15:58
wgrantpopey: Use staging.launchpad.net.15:58
wgrantNow what are the chances of that?15:58
popeyhmmm15:59
wgrantmpt: The placement of the 'Activity log' link on staging makes a lot more sense and makes it look less strange.15:59
mptgood :-)15:59
popeyis staging a copy of lp?16:00
mptOne day we won't have a separate activity log page16:00
popeyand if so, how often is it taken?16:00
wgrantmpt: That would be excellent. It would be even better if it was actually as useful as lists.ubuntu.com16:00
salgadopopey, daily16:00
wgrantpopey: I believe the DB is copied over daily, or at least it was at one point.16:00
mptwe'll have activity embedded in the page along with the comments16:01
mptand sunshine and ponies for breakfast16:02
wgrantPonies for breakfast. That'll make people happy.16:02
mptpopey, the staging.launchpad.net database is overwritten with a copy of the launchpad.net database approximately daily16:02

mathiazHi - can I push loom branches to LP ?19:42
thumpermathiaz: you should be able to19:42
thumpermathiaz: but it will just show as a single branch19:43
mathiazthumper: but if someone branches, it will be able to see the threads ?19:43
mathiazs/it/he|she/19:43
thumpermathiaz: they would need the loom plug-in, but I think so19:43
mathiazthumper: ok - I'll give it a try then19:44
=== kiko is now known as kiko-afk
mathiazthumper: hmm.. It doesn't work - I've pushed my branch to LP and branch it in a different directory - the threads of loom don't show up19:59

kimushi, need help checking out a newly created project on edge.launchpad.net22:52
kimusI do a bzr co bzr+ssh://login@bazaar.launchpad.net/~registrant/project/branch22:53
kimusand gives me bzr ERROR that is Not a branch22:54
kimushello? any help here?22:54
beunokimus, is that the actual URL?22:55
kimusof course not beuno22:55
beunoah, ok22:55
beunothe sytax is correct, could you paste the actual URL?22:55
kimusbzr+ssh://kimus@bazaar.launchpad.net/~kimus/ubuntu-pt-website/trunk22:55
beunokimus, seems you haven't pushed properly to that branch yet22:56
beunodo you have that branch locally somewhere?22:57
kimusbeuno: ok, fine. and how do I do that? I created the branch and it's lp:~kimus/ubuntu-pt-website/trunk22:57
kimusbeuno: but that is local no? 22:57
beunokimus, how did you create that branch?22:58
beunothrough the Launchpad page, or by pushing?22:58
kimusin the code tab of the project :-)22:58
beunook, well, I never understood what that was for22:58
beunoyou want to have a branch for ubuntu-pt-website, right?22:59
kimusbeuno: https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-pt-website/trunk22:59
kimusbeuno: It says "You can push a branch to Launchpad for this project with the name trunk using a command line like: bzr push lp:~kimus/ubuntu-pt-website/trunk", but...23:00
kimushow tha hell I push?23:00
beunokimus, right, you have to create that locally23:00
beunoyou have the files for that somewhere already?23:00
kimushumm, so I need to init the bzr ?23:00
kimusbeuno: yes, I have. But I was testing :-)23:01
beunoyes, bzr init && bzr add && bzr commit -m'Starting project...'23:01
kimusbeuno: so, I need to init my local dir first23:01
beunokimus, yes23:01
beunoafter that, bzr push lp:~kimus/ubuntu-pt-website/trunk23:01
kimusbeuno: ok fine. It's diff from svn23:02
kimusstrange :-D23:02
beunokimus, well, it's distributed, so many things should be different23:02
beunomostly in a good way  :)23:02
kimusbeuno: I hope so. but the local files being a copy of the remote repo it's strange to me23:03
=== _neversfelde is now known as neversfelde
beunokimus, once you understand the basic concepts of DVCS, you will never be able to go back  :)23:04
beunokimus, take a look at: http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/en/user-guide/index.html23:04
kimusbeuno: depends on the space it uses on my disk :-p23:04
beunoand http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/  if you still feel curious23:05
kimusbeuno: bzr: ERROR: Target directory bzr+ssh://kimus@bazaar.launchpad.net/~kimus/ubuntu-pt-website/trunk already exists, but does not have a valid .bzr directory. Supply --use-existing-dir to push there anyway.23:07
kimuscan't do an empty branch? :-D23:07
beunokimus, do what bzr say's, add --use-existing-dir23:08
beunothis happens when you create a branch through LP  :p23:08
kimusbeuno: sorry i'm being lazy and asking you23:08
kimusbeuno: so after I do push I have to do a co? or can I start working from local dir?23:09
beunokimus, ask away, happy to help23:10
beunoonce you pushed, you just keep on working on your local dir, and push as you need23:10
beunoif anyone *else* wants that branch, they will have to do a checkout, or a full branch23:10
kimusso, push is a 'merge to server' command?23:10
beunokimus, well, you're going to be doing the merges, if any are needed (ie, someone else pushed to it)23:11
beunobut yes23:11
beunoof course, if you want to work the way svn does23:11
beunoonce you push, you can then do bzr co...23:11
beunoand the branch will be bound to LP23:11
kimusbeuno: what's the diff between co and branch?23:11
beunoso when you commit, it will go straight to LP too23:12
beunokimus, branch's are independent, checkouts are bound to parent23:12
kimusso, my initial creation is a branch like the one another person can do23:12
beunoyeap23:13
kimusand the way to do a 'commit' (merge) to the server is the push command23:13
kimusif i what I can do a CO and it's like snv23:13
beunoin branches, commits and pushed/merges are seperate23:13
beunoso you commit all you want23:13
beunoand when you're ready for the world to see it, you push23:13
beunothat will send off all your changes23:14
beunokimus, the user guide and bazaar docs are filled with very good recommendations23:14
kimusbeuno: I think I get it... but a branch of a old project will get the all revision history?!... ugh23:15
beunokimus, yes. You can do a lightweight checkout instead, which doesn't23:16
beunobut, I can tell you from experience, you'll eventually end up using branches  :)23:16
kimusbeuno: ok cool I have all my fears answered :-D23:17
beunokimus, feel free to hang out in #bzr for anymore help23:17
kimusbeuno: It's almos the same of SVN but has the branch stuff, thought the SVN can do user branches also23:17
kimusbut its remote23:17
beunolots of very knowledgable people there  :)23:17
beunokimus, you can use it exactly like SVN if you wish, with checkouts23:18
beunofrom now on, that is23:18
kimusbeuno: I think it's not very different from SVN. Just this initial setup and the branches/push stuff :-)23:19
beunoand as for full-history, the next release of bzr will address that with "shallow branches"23:19
beunoso you can just grab the last commits, and work on top of that23:19
beunokimus, I don't have much experience with SVN, so I can't really say in what they deffer in detail23:20
kimusbeuno: for now not mush :-) ... but I will find out after I use this bazaar. funny name :-D23:21
kimus*much23:21
beunokimus, good luck  :)23:22
kimusbeuno: in my language 'bazar' is "going away' eh eh eh23:22
Nafallogood thing it's bazaar then :-)23:23
kimusbeuno: so, i'm going 'bazar' from here. thank you!23:23
