LeefmcQuestion: I am having trouble pushing to launchpad, and its the same trouble i had before. I can't quite remember the solution last time, but it had something to do with telling BZR my launchpad account name.. any thoughts?02:14
LeefmcUsing the command mentioned on the project page.02:15
Leefmcpush lp:blah02:15
mwhudsonLeefmc: bzr launchpad-login <you>02:16
Leefmcmwhudson: Thank you. They need to fix that error heh, it makes zero sense :/02:16
Leefmc"bzr: ERROR: Transport operation not possible: http does not support mkdir()" heh02:17
Leefmcwell, sense in the terms of needing to give your login info02:17
mwhudsonLeefmc: it's fixed in bzr 1.4 and newer02:17
mwhudsonit's just a shame that 1.3 is in hardy :/02:18
Leefmcmwhudson: IIRC, many launchpad's have repos dont they? I can probably just add a bzr release repo02:18
mwhudsonyou certainly can02:18
mwhudsonLeefmc: https://edge.launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive02:19
Leefmcmwhudson: Heh, yea, some bit of info on what these errors mean would be helpful. I got an error when adding my login name. Something about ssh keys permanently being redirected to my launchpad account +sshkeys02:20
mwhudsonum02:20
mwhudsoni forget what that one means02:20
Leefmcmwhudson: Or rather, not what they mean, but why they are happening. (Ie, doing one thing and getting a rather oddly worded error seeming semi-unrelated) heh02:20
mwhudsonif you paste the message into google you'll probably find out02:21
mwhudsonand yeah, these crappy errors are bugs02:21
mwhudson(some of them are fixed bugs too)02:21
Leefmcmwhudson: Only so much of it though, hopefully its enough, since my account name is scattered through02:21
Leefmcmwhudson: Found it.02:22
Leefmcmwhudson: My name was capitalized, when all launchpad accounts are lowercase right? I think in the end it means the account name was wrong.02:23
Leefmcmwhudson: Horrible error for that name hah.02:23
mwhudsonLeefmc: oh right, that rings a bell02:24
mwhudsonyes, it's a bug02:24
LeefmcAh. think my ssh key on launchpad is from my laptop02:24

ubottuLaunchpad bug 251008 in launchpad-bazaar "launchpad-login gives confusing error if username does not exist" [Undecided,Confirmed]02:24
* mwhudson does some stuff to the bug02:26
Leefmcmwhudson: When pushing to launchpad, from a working directory, does --use-existing-dir copy from my working dir? In other words, should i be uploading from the actual branch? Or is uploading from the working dir fine02:48
Leefmcmwhudson: Because i also need to supply a .bzr dir02:48
LeefmcAnd obviously, im not entirely sure what happens from the argument, but rather i was told to use it heh02:49
LeefmcI suppose i should be asking, what is the best practice? What _should_ i be doing? Because i could easily be doing it wrong, so forcing the dir may not be needed.02:51
Hobbseewill the wiki login stuff be fixed soon?03:32
Hobbseeor if not, is there a workaround?03:32
Hobbseeso that people can log in, adn do edits?03:33
mwhudsoni don't think the problem is at the launchpad end, but i could be wrong03:33
Hobbseewhere's the problem?03:34
mwhudsoni don't know, i admit03:34
Hobbseehm, seems the guy could log in, finally.03:34
Hobbseewould be nice to see it fixed, though.03:34

wgrantal-maisan: Will Signed-By only be shown if it and Changed-By differ?11:49
al-maisanwgrant: the fields are compared to the maintainer on an individual basis and are included in the email if they differ from the maintainer11:52
al-maisanwgrant: so, the short answer is: no :)11:52
wgrantal-maisan: I think it would make sense to omit Signed-By only when it matched Changed-By, but I guess Matt's opinion matters more!11:52
al-maisanwgrant: hmm, I see.11:53
wgrantSigned-By and Changed-By will normally be the same.11:53
wgrantChanged-By and Maintainer not so often.11:53
persiaal-maisan: Is it not only the exceptional case that the Maintainer matches the Signed-By?  Also, what about the Uploaders: field?11:53
al-maisanpersia: I am not sure about the 'Uploaders:' field, need to look it up first11:54
wgrantAlso, can you clarify who is named at the end of the changelog?11:55
benjehi how we cancel an attachement before save change to send only message ?11:55
wgrantMatt's says Maintainer, but it should be Changed-By.11:55
wgrantbenje: /win 811:55
persiaal-maisan: In cases where a package is team-maintained, Maintainer: is typically a mailing list, and Uploaders: lists the set of email addresses on which a match to Changed-By will be considered a "Maintainer Upload" in Debian.  If Ubuntu has the concept of Maintainers (something I personally doubt), this behaviour ought be preserved.11:55
wgrantGah.11:56
al-maisanre. the Maintainer matching the Signed-By: in my limited experience they would differ most of the time.11:56
bigjoolswgrant: I was wondering about that11:56
wgrantbenje: Clear the attachment box, perhaps.11:56
benjewgrant, not working11:56
wgrantbenje: Ah, Firefox 3?11:56
benjeselect nothing not working too wgrant11:56
al-maisanpersia: thanks for the elaboration, will check whether we support that mechanism.11:56
benjeyes11:56
wgrantbenje: You probably have no choice but to refresh the page, copying the comment.11:56
benjedoesn't work it keep it11:56
benje:/11:56
benjeunlog relog :/11:57
wgrantbenje: Ctrl+Shift+R might clear the fields.11:57
benjeyes thanks wgrant ;)11:57
wgrantbenje: np11:57
wgrantApart from showing Signed-By too often and giving Maintainer instead of Changed-By in the attribution line, it looks like a much more pleasant format.11:58
persiaBy the way, which bug number are we discussion?  I appear not to be subscribed.12:00
wgrantpersia: Bug #25082012:00
ubottuLaunchpad bug 250820 in soyuz "-changes emails could be easier to read" [Wishlist,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/25082012:00
persiawgrant: Thanks.12:00
al-maisanwgrant: point taken. Will have another chat with Matt.12:01
al-maisanwgrant: what do you mean by "showing Signed-By too often"?12:02
wgrantal-maisan: In most cases, Signed-By will differ from Maintainer but will match Changed-By.12:03
wgrantal-maisan: Your changes apparently show it whenever it doesn't match Maintainer.12:03
al-maisanwgrant: gotcha!12:03
wgrant(also, showing Signed-By on SPR pages would be nice)12:03
al-maisaninteresting..12:04
persiawgrant: Are you commenting about Signed-By/Changed-By in the bug or in email?  (alternately, I'd be happy to do so)12:07
wgrantpersia: I'm a tad busy right now - feel free to.12:07
persiawgrant: OK.  Just didn't want to post your comments for all to see without your acquiescence :)12:08
mdzwgrant: it's a bit tricky, I think12:12
mdzbecause in some cases, the person who made the changes is Maintainer (e.g. Debian sync) and in others it is Changed-By12:12
mdzgiven that we're using something close to the changelog format, I think that gets confusing12:12
mdzI think it should be "author of the changes"12:13
mdzand Changed-By should be "person who effected the changes in Ubuntu"12:14
wgrantmdz: How do we know who made the changes?12:34
persiamdz: Using "author of the changes" makes even more sense than any of the available fields.12:34
wgrantmdz: All we have is the changed-by.12:34
persiawgrant: parse the changelog directly.12:34
wgrantMaintainer is likely to be wrong more than Changed-By is.12:35
wgrant(but yes, "author of the changes" would make more sense still)12:35
persiaDoes Signed-By as received by Soyuz for syncs match Signed-By in Debian?12:36
* persia would think not, as the .changes is being mangled12:37
mdzwgrant: we have the person who wrote the changelog entry, the person who uploaded the package to Ubuntu, and the person who sponsored it (if any)12:37
mdzthe person who wrote the changelog entry is close enough to the author of the changes12:38
mdzpersia: I'm not even sure the .changes is signed in  that case; if so, it's probably by an automatic key12:38
mdzsince syncs don't go through the normal upload process12:38
persiamdz: I believe it to be an automatic key.12:38
persiaThe point being that it becomes exceedingly unlikely, even for syncs, that Signed-By: matches the maintainer (or even author of the changes)12:39
mdzI think the cases are "X uploaded their own changes to Ubuntu", "X uploaded Y's changes to Ubuntu", and "X synced in Y's changes from Debian"12:39
mdzal-maisan: does that make sense?12:39
persiaRight, but only in rare cases do any of those have any relation to Maintainer:12:40
persia(well, in the third case, Y is likely to be the maintainer, but that's not the information we are extracting)12:40
wgrantmdz: Do we have the person who wrote the changelog entry? Where do we get that?12:44
mdzwgrant: from the changelog?12:46
mdzwgrant: that's copied into Maintainer: in .changes typically12:47
mdzunless it's overridden12:47
mdzer, Changed-By12:48
wgrantChanged-By, you mean?12:48
wgrantRight.12:48
wgrantSo the first two people that you mentioned above are the same person.12:48
mdzpersia: correct12:48
mdzwgrant: which two?12:48
mdzoh, changelog author and uploader? yes, for the upload case12:48
wgrant"we have the person who wrote the changelog entry, the person who uploaded the package to Ubuntu, and the person who sponsored it (if any)"12:48
mdzno, for the sync case12:48
wgrantRight.12:48
wgrantTrue.12:48
wgrantForgot about that.12:49
mdzI think it's clearer to think of the three cases I outlined with X and Y12:49
wgrantIt is.12:49
wgrantSo in the third we have three distinct people.12:49
wgrantThe other two just two.12:49
persiaFor the sync case, there's still typically only two people that interest us, although they are a different two people.12:49
persiawgrant: Do we really care which archive-admin sync'd the package?12:49
wgrantpersia: No, but we care who requested it.12:50
persia(or whether the automated key did it for the less complex syncs)12:50
wgrantFor a sync, we have the Maintainer and Changed-By from Debian, but the Changed-By is currently replaced by the sync requestor.12:50
__pokHi all. I'm a first-time bzr user: how do I get the "lp" URL aliases in place?12:50
persiaChanged-By is typically set to requestor.  Do we care who approved it?  I'm not sure how we can get that into Signed-By,12:50
persiaAlso the archive admins sometimes set Changed-By to the requestor, and sometimes to the approver.12:50
wgrantpersia: Right. That would be nice.12:50
persia__pok: bzr launchpad-login12:51
__pokcould it be that I'm using the wrong version of bzr?12:51
LarstiQpersia: well, lp:foo also works, but with http instead of ssh12:52
LarstiQ__pok: what version are you using?12:52
__pokahaa, it was from Debian Etch (read: ages old)12:52
mdzwgrant: I'll summarize in the bug12:54
wgrantmdz: Thanks.12:54
mdzwgrant: who requested it ends up in Changed-By12:56

mdzal-maisan: sorry, the terminology is a bit confusing15:12
al-maisanmdz: true.15:12
mdzal-maisan: usually the "uploader" is the person who prepared the .changes file15:13
mdzal-maisan: it may be actually uploaded to launchpad by someone else (who signs it on their behalf)15:13
al-maisanAh, I see.15:13
mdzthe fact that our workflow is different from Debian's but we share terminology is confusing sometimes15:13
mdzal-maisan: the .changes is a manifest for an update to a package (an "upload").  it contains both information about the package itself and about the upload process15:14
