hansengelHi, I messed up here.. I accidentally created a milestone named '1.1' inside the 'trunk' release series, which I don't use. I just realized this after already filing bugs under this milestone. How can I move the milestone to the '1.0' series, and delete the 'trunk' series?01:26
hansengelmy project is at https://launchpad.net/twitkit01:26
hansengelhi, are there any launchpad admins in here? I need this release series to be deleted https://launchpad.net/twitkit/trunk02:37
Rinchenhansengel, please file an answer ticket (see irc top) and someone should get around to it tomorrow during the week02:40

kblinwhat's the best way to make the bug tracker changes go to a mailing list? sorry if that's sort of a common question, but I'm still waiting for answers.lp.n to come up for me, I'm on a really lousy connection08:20
BjornTkblin: you can create a team, setting the mailing list address as the 'contact address'. you can then subscribe that team to the project's bugs.08:34
kblinI can make a team a member of another team, right?08:37

lut4rpI am using bazaar and lp for the first time. sorry if this is dumb, but i am unable to figure out how to push to trunk. I have an ssh key. can someone help me?09:58
spivlut4rp: what command are you trying?10:03
spivlut4rp: and what error are you getting?10:03
gnomefreakspiv: i dont think he has by the sound of it hes not sure of the commands10:04
lut4rpspiv, i am trying "bzr push lp:poonji" as it says on my project page.10:04
gnomefreaki was gonna look they all up10:04
lut4rpstrangely, i have got no response or error for the past 15 mins.10:04
gnomefreaklut4rp: did you commit first?10:04
lut4rpgnomefreak, sorry, what do you mean by that?10:05
gnomefreaklut4rp: you have to commit the files that you are trying to push.10:05
gnomefreaklut4rp: hold on i have all the commmands you need10:05
lut4rpgnomefreak, okay.10:06
lut4rphmm, its saying on LP, Branch format 610:07
gnomefreakdamn i dont have them but first you have to make your local files a branch10:07
lut4rpRepository format: Packs containing knits without subtree support10:07
lut4rpgnomefreak, and how do I do that?10:07
spivlut4rp: you mean the 'bzr push lp:poonji' command has given no response for 15 minutes?10:08
gnomefreaklut4rp: theres bzr docs online. iirc its "init" than "commit" than push but you would have to read docs. once i get a sec ill find them10:08
lut4rpspiv, you're right. I am on ubuntu hardy, if that's needed.10:09
lut4rpokay, i did do "init"10:10
* lut4rp looks up "commit"10:10
gnomefreaklut4rp: it commits the files to get them ready to be pushed10:10
lut4rphmm, it should be more verbose :)10:11
spivlut4rp: you should have gotten a response from the command like "No revisions to push."10:11
lut4rpspiv, but I didn't. I cancelled it anyway now.10:12
spivlut4rp: yeah, that sounds like a bug.  If you could pastebin your ~/.bzr.log I'd be interested to see where it got stuck.10:13
spivlut4rp: Anyway, http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/en/mini-tutorial/index.html is worth looking over if you haven't already.10:13
lut4rpoh thanks!10:13
gnomefreakspiv: are you LP admin by chance?10:14
spivgnomefreak: nope10:15
spivJust a bzr developer (and ex-launchpad developer).10:15
gnomefreakit seems teams only have a month when you renew the membership this has just happened ice had team for over a year now i have to renew every month10:16
spivgnomefreak: that doesn't sound good, but unfortunately I don't know anything about that.10:17
alecw1Why isn't Launchpad open-source?10:17
gnomefreakalecw1: parts of it is10:17
gnomefreakjust not the part we use ;)10:17
alecw1which parts?10:17
spivalecw1: https://help.launchpad.net/FAQ#Is%20Launchpad%20Free%20Software/open%20source?%20If%20not,%20why%20not?10:17
wgrantgnomefreak: The team admin sets the renewal period...10:19
alecw1So, it's closed because (1) you don't want "multiple launchpads", and (2) it helps funding?10:19
gnomefreakwgrant: i set it to not expire when i made it over a year ago10:19
gnomefreakor longer10:19
wgrantgnomefreak: That sounds unlikely and bad.10:19
gnomefreakCreated on:  2006-12-2710:20
wgrantAnd none of my teams work like that.10:20
wgrantWhat are the settings?10:20
alecw1Will Launchpad ever release it's source?10:20
alecw1its*10:20
gnomefreakaafter hitting renew i got Membership renewed until 2008-08-26.10:20
gnomefreaka month?10:20
wgrantalecw1: 'Unlike those other services, we have committed to making Launchpad Free Software.'10:20
wgrantgnomefreak: How is the team configured, what do you expect to happen, and what happens?10:21
alecw1Okay, but I'm wondering why it's not open-source, not "free".10:21
gnomefreakSubscription period: 010:21
wgrantOpen source is almost sysnonymous with Free.10:21
wgrant*synonymous10:21
gnomefreakwgrant: i expect it to work the same way since the date i showed you above10:22
wgrantgnomefreak: Huh? What does the date have to do with anything?10:22
gnomefreakwgrant: https://edge.launchpad.net/~mozillateam10:22
alecw1wgrant: no, that's not true at all. Things that are free as in "free beer" are not the same as "you can look at the ingredients, and the recipe here, for free."10:22
wgrantalecw1: 'Free Software' has a specific meaning.10:22
gnomefreakwgrant: the sate i created it. this is the first time i had to renew it and now it seems like its monthly10:22
wgrantMeaning free as in speech, not as in beer.10:22
gnomefreaks/sate/date10:23
wgrantgnomefreak: You probably have an expiry date set...10:23
alecw1What does it mean that it is free "as in speech"?10:23
stgraberalecw1: in this sentence "Free Software" is meant as in "free speech", LP is already free so there would be no point in saying "we have commited to making" otherwise10:23
wgrantalecw1: Same as it means for any other piece of Free Software.10:24
kblinalecw1: if you want to fix the free as in beer vs. free as in speech thing, find out where to file a bug about the English language10:24
gnomefreakwgrant: no i just showed you. please look at https://edge.launchpad.net/~mozillateam10:24

wgrantgnomefreak: Subscript period != your expiry date10:24
wgrant*subscription period, damnit.10:24
=== rraphink is now known as raphink
gnomefreakis 010:25
alecw1wgrant: I'm not sure what "free as in in free-speech" metaphor means. Can you explain?10:25
kblinalecw1: for all practical purposes, "free as in free speech" for software means open source10:25
wgrantgnomefreak: Have you altered your expiration date since you were last asked to renew? And are you sure it's on that team?10:25
wgrantalecw1: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Software is good.10:26
gnomefreakwgrant: no this is the first time i had to renew10:26
alecw1you mean, "I have the right to browse the code source."10:26
gnomefreaki havent touched any settings10:26
alecw1because "open source" literally means... "open source".10:26
kblinalecw1: there's some philosophical connotations to both "Open Source" and "Free Software"10:26
wgrantalecw1: But Free Software implies something extra.10:27
alecw1Not just that it is "free" as in beer?10:27
wgrantThere are many Open Source licenses which are unfortunately not Free Software.10:27
wgrantRIght.10:27
alecw1So, how does the community benefit from a project being "free software" without releasing its source?10:28
kblinalecw1: yeah, but what about a license where you're allowed to see the source, but not to modify it? :)10:28
wgrantThat's not possible.10:28
wgrantFree Software implies Open Source.10:28
wgrantBut not vice-versa.10:28
gnomefreakfound the issue and fixed it10:28
alecw1Then Launchpad should be open source, right?10:28
wgrantgnomefreak: What was the issue?10:28
alecw1If you claim to be "free software".10:28
wgrantalecw1: They do not claim to be free software.10:28
wgrantThey claim they will be.10:28
alecw1"we have committed to making Launchpad Free Software. "10:29
stgraberalecw1: please read the page you were pointed to before ... "we have committed to making Launchpad Free Software."10:29
alecw1Oh.10:29
gnomefreakwgrant: i missunderstood since mozillateam is owner of mozillasquad it was mozillasquad page that was causing it10:29
alecw1So, you are NOT "Free Software" right now.10:29
stgraberindeed10:29
wgrantgnomefreak: Aha. So I was right: "And are you sure it's on that team?"10:29
gnomefreakit was saying mozillateam as owner the relationship between 2 team would expire10:29
alecw1Therefore, you have committed to release the source code, eventually, correct?10:29
wgrantalecw1: Note that there are no official Launchpad people involved in this conversation right now.10:29
gnomefreakyep10:29
alecw1wgrant: noted. =)10:30
alecw1Has Launchpad made any progress to just "eventually"?10:30
gnomefreakYou must specify a default renewal period greater than 0.10:30
gnomefreaksince when10:30
alecw1I mean, it would be great to have a timeframe, or some sort of specification for when they will release the backend.10:30
wgrantgnomefreak: Leave it blank, I suspect.10:31
gnomefreakwgrant: same thing10:31
kblinalecw1: the way I read the FAQ, it seems so10:31
* kblin shrugs10:31
kblinI have to admit I don't care. :)10:31
wgrantgnomefreak: Ensure you have the first option selected.10:31
gnomefreakits optional so i shouldnt have to put anything there and im assuming nothing == 010:31
wgrantAS one can't automatically renew for 0 days.10:31
alecw1I mean, they have "dedicated" to "becoming" free software, but I would like some sort of real commitment that it WILL happen.10:31
wgrantalecw1: As would we all.10:31
wgrantalecw1: Parts have been released.10:32
gnomefreaksubscription policy == openteam10:32
wgrantgnomefreak: No, the renewal policy.10:32
alecw1wgrant: which parts? significant ones?10:32
gnomefreaksubscription period == 3010:32
wgrantalecw1: Storm is pretty significant, I suspect.10:32
wgrantgnomefreak: Period != policy.10:32
gnomefreaknext invite them to renew their own memebership10:32
alecw1Oh, there is a paragraph showing what they have released.10:32
gnomefreakrenewal period == problem10:33
wgrantgnomefreak: Right, that's the problem.10:33
wgrantgnomefreak: Set it to not allow them to renew their own?10:33
kblinalecw1: you're preaching to the choir here. I doubt any foss developer would mind more open source software10:33
mwhudsonyeah, releasing cscvs really enabled community contributions!10:33
wgrantgnomefreak: You can't allow them to renew their own but then say you can only renew for 0 time.10:33
mwhudson</sarcasm>10:33
wgrantmwhudson: But cscvs is useless as we have bzr-svn.10:33
wgrantAnd it seems to work.10:33
wgrantWhereas other parts of LP do not.10:33
alecw1kblin: I'm certainly not trying to preach, I'm just trying to understand, and get some sort of feel for the current status with launchpad's status as free software.10:33
mwhudsonwgrant: it's still the best choice for importing cvs when you don't have the ,v files, afaik10:34
* gnomefreak confused only thing that matches that is renew their membersip auto.. also notifie admins10:34
wgrantmwhudson: Probably so.10:34
wgrantgnomefreak: EPARSE10:34
wgrant'invite them to apply for renewal'10:34
mwhudson(i would actually be extremely interested if i'm wrong about this)10:34
gnomefreakWhen someone's membership is about to expire, notify them and:10:34
gnomefreak05:33 <          wgrant > gnomefreak: You can't allow them to renew their own  but then say you can only renew for 0 time.10:35
alecw1I can't think of a reason they wouldn't release the source code, either. They are currently well established in the open-source community, thus, they probably don't have to worry about being one-upped by someone with their own source.10:35
wgrantgnomefreak: Yes?10:35
gnomefreakyou are conflicting comments10:35
wgrantgnomefreak: Where is this conflict?10:35
gnomefreakyou said dont let them renew10:35
wgrantI don't see where I've said otherwise.10:36
gnomefreakwgrant: oh i see it i had to scroll :(10:36
wgrantThat form needs rewording, but it's quite intelligible.10:36
kblinalecw1: hm, sorry, that's a figure of speech. I mean you're telling this to people who will agree with you10:36
gnomefreakwgrant: it sounded conflicking sinc ei couldnt see whole page10:36
wgrantgnomefreak: Ah.10:36
wgrantIt is strange that it's labelled as optional when it is in fact required most of the time.10:36
wgrantAnd I shall now run off and file a bug.10:36
gnomefreakok so everything will stay good than?10:36
wgrantgnomefreak: If you have the first radio button selected, it should let you pass.10:37
alecw1kblin: well, I guess it ended up like that, yes. But originally I was just curious about Launchpad's code.10:37

* wgrant shakes a fist at mpt. You broke my automated process for looking at each Launchpad bug by making the milestone easy to see.10:42
mptGooooooooooooooooooooooood morning Launchpadders!11:00
mptwgrant, what automated process?11:06
wgrantmpt: The one where I automatically expand the task (sorry) to see if it's going to be fixed in the next 12 months.11:07
mptaha11:07
mptI didn't break that, the milestone's still there11:07
mptI just made it unnecessary ;-)11:07
wgrantSome pleasant retraining will be required.11:07
wgrantThis is true.11:07
geserwhere did the box with the package versions on the bug page go? I was quite handy while doing sponsoring for checking the last version and component11:09
wgrantgeser: To mpt's context independent land11:09
wgrantOne decision I see the rationale for, but cannot agree with.11:09
mptgeser, hover over the package name11:10
wgrantmpt: Where is this documented?11:10
wgrantAnd woah that date is ugly.11:11
wgrantAnd there are no links :(11:11
gesermpt: thanks for the hint. It contains all the info I need11:11
mptwgrant, do you have any suggestions for where we could document its new position that would be easier to find than its new position?11:11
wgrantmpt: It could be inside the task.11:12
geserwgrant: LP just want to be precise about the upload date :)11:12
wgrantOr somewhere less completely undiscoverable.11:12
wgrantIt should be in the tooltip as well.11:12
wgrantBut it should be mentioned in the non-existent page help.11:12
wgrantAs I don't want to have to hover over every element on the page or grep through the source to work out what has a .title.11:13
mptwgrant, eventually we want to get rid of the expandable section, so that wouldn't be a long-term design11:14
wgrantmpt: Where do all of the widgets go!?11:14
mpta long-term solution, rather11:14
mptwgrant, into the table when you click on a cell.11:15
mpte.g. click "New" and it turns into an option menu.11:15
mptClick the package name and it turns into a text field.11:15
mptetc.11:15
wgrantmpt: Oh, I thought that that must have been dismissed as an option, as it's rather obvious.11:15
wgrantI was thinking that the package name could act somewhat like an <abbr>11:16
mptIt already does, in the sense that <abbr> usually has title=, and the package name has title= giving its details11:16
wgrant? cursor, dotted underline, which everyone knows to mean it has a tooltippy thing.11:16
mptIn what sense do you mean it?11:16
mptah11:16
wgrantI spent all too much time cleaning a webapp UI up today. So I might be annoyed and wrong.11:19

Hobbseedear launchpad, if you can't cope with Big Numbers, why do you let me enter them in your fields?11:42
Hobbseewhy not restrict me to numbers the size that you can actually handle.  no love, me.11:43
wgrantHobbsee: What's this?11:44
Hobbseewgrant: manually reprio'ing a build.11:44
Hobbseewgrant: LP will let you put in a Very Big Number, then will oops, presumably because the number is too big.11:44
wgrantHobbsee: Nice. How big were you making it?11:45
Hobbseeoh, i held down '9' for a couple of seconds, so pretty long.11:45
wgrantAh.11:45
Hobbseesurely, if you've only got a limited number of possible inputs, you can limit the number of digits that can be entered, so your software *won't* fall over.11:45
wgrantI think you need a 'build this now really kthxbye' button.11:45
wgrantOr at least fail gracefully.11:46

mptI'm looking for a prettier way to present the "This site is running pre-release code" message on edge.launchpad.net. Anyone have any suggestions? :-)15:10
intellectronicampt: ah i see what you mean. on my screen, it would fit nicely on the same line as the menu and the username/logout button15:12
intellectronicathere may not be enough space on smaller windows, though15:12
mptintellectronica, which menu? You mean the Launchpad > ... hierarchy?15:12
intellectronicampt: yes15:13
mptYes, whether there was room there would depend highly on the name of any project/package/person and the width of the window15:15
andrea-bsmpt: how about a small "beta" label near the "launchpad" logo on the location bar?15:15
mptI was thinking maybe a diagonal ribbon in the corner15:15
mptor something in the footer15:15
andrea-bsin the footer there's "beta site" near the version number15:16
mptandrea-bs, that would work, but it wouldn't be obvious how to report bugs15:16
andrea-bsmpt: that's right15:16

mpthttp://mpt.net.nz/archive/2005/12/27/web-215:17
klettehehe15:18
kletteA ribbon or something non-intrusive like that is a good idea though. Doesnt need to be a big fat warning, as lp is mainly for developers anyway, and all developers know that beta-software means :-)15:19
beunompt, hey there. Is it just me, or under the last item of the hierarchy, there is blank 1-2px blank space?15:22
* andrea-bs notices this too15:23
beunompt, also, maybe for pre-release code, you can add an overlapped round icon that says "beta" on the top left of the hierarchy. Like we did with the messages/warnings/errors15:24
mptbeuno, the 1px gap is dependent on your font size and zoom level. I'm expecting it to go away when I redo the hierarchy with floats.15:25
beunompt, I have default font size and zoom level set. The only way I can get it to go away is by zooming out.15:26
mptWell you implemented that, you tell me ;-)15:27
beunoheh, fair enough. I'll take a stab at it, and see if I can find what's causing this15:29

beunompt, I have somewhere around here an improved SVG, so I'll send you the whole lot15:33
mptok, thanks15:33
mptbeuno, since it's going to be rewritten anyway, it's probably not worthwhile to spend time on the 1px gap16:04
mptMore interesting to investigate why the tabs aren't centered and "Answers" wraps occasionally :-)16:04
=== _Paracha is now known as Paracha
beunompt, centered by a few pixels?  I know why that is already. Answers, on the other hand, hmmm...  any way to reproduce that?16:27
