philni'd like to associate my GPG key with another account, so i deactivated it in my settings and tried to activate it in the new account.. but launchpad tells me it has already been imported09:58
siretartgmb: does the launchpad bugzilla plugin automatically import upstream bugs to launchpad?10:22
siretartgmb: or phrased differently, now that xine-lib has the lp plugin installed, what has changed now?10:23
gmbsiretart: Launchpad should automatically use the plugin API to import bug statuses and comments from the xine-lib bugzilla. However, to be sure that it is doing so we'll reset the bug watches and then run the bug watch checker against that bugtracker specifically.10:29
gmbAt the moment importing bugs isn't enabled.10:29
gmbSince we need to be sure that syncing comments works properly before we enable full bug imports.10:30
wgrantWhy are branches enveloped to all changes?10:47
wgrantEr, people enveloped to all changes on branches.10:48
wgrantIs it one of those rare instances of questionable rebus on Launchpad?10:48

jameshwgrant: I still have no idea what you're talking about10:57
wgrantThe portlet on https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~fta/apport/apport/+merge/75810:58
wgrantThese are strange times. One can unambiguously say portlet.10:59
jameshokay.  That makes more sense.  It wasn't clear what you were talking about10:59
jameshwhat page10:59
wgrantSorry.10:59
jameshIt could probably do without the icon completely.11:00
wgrantIt was meant to be added, but I don't think that's the right place.11:01
wgrantLet me find the bug...11:01
wgrantBug #25654611:01
ubottuLaunchpad bug 256546 in launchpad-bazaar "Branch subscribers and owner have annoying green ticks next to them" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/25654611:01
wgrantHm, maybe it was just a coincidence, as that bug isn't assigned.11:02
siretartgmb: ah, so that means that I 'just' have to identify and maintain cross bugtracker links manually, but launchpad will sync comments autmatically between the bugtrackers, is that correct?11:15
gmbsiretart: At the moment, someone has to create a bug watch in Launchpad for Launchpad to be able to do any communicating with the remote bug tracker. Once the bug watch is added, though, comment syncing should start automatically. The idea is that we bring this functionality in slowly so as to a) make sure that it works right on our end, b) make sure it works right on your end and - most importantly - c) make sure that it's working as effici11:17
gmbLaunchpad should also, as of the next release, start telling remote bug trackers which bug on Launchpad links to which bug on that tracker.11:18

asacmpt: i have a project on launchpad and now i want to make a release (not really a series). how do i do that?12:40
asacmpt: the peculiarity here is that the release is a tag-branch in bzr12:40
wgrantReleases are within a series.12:40
asacwgrant: let me check12:40
asacwgrant: "Add milestone" ?12:41
mptasac, I don't really know12:41
mptasac, but as wgrant says, I think you first need to make a series12:41
mptthen go into that series, and I think you'll find something for registering a release12:42
asacok. i have a series: trunk ... now making a release would be like specifying which revision that is ;) ... but that doesnt exist12:42
asacoh yeah12:42
asac"register a release ";)12:42
wgrantThat's likely what you want.12:42
asaclets see what happens next12:42
wgrantMuch magic.12:42
asaceither there is no way to link a revision or branch ... or that comes after i registered it12:43
wgrantBranches are linked to series.12:43
asactrue. but what i want to do is to provide a tag or revision of a branch when making a release12:43
wgrantIt may make sense for a release to be able to specify a tag.12:44
asacapparently thats not supported (yet)12:44
wgrantBut I don't believe that functionality to be currently implemented.12:44
asacwgrant: well ... branches make sense too12:44
wgrantNo, a series has a branch.12:44
asacpersonal preference might be ignorable12:44
wgrantA release should not.12:44
wgrantThat fails to make sense.12:44
asacwgrant: theory and praxis diverge here ;)12:44
asacwe have to cover a big use-caase:12:44
wgrantWhy would one want a branch for something that will never change?12:44
asachttp://bzr-mirror.gnome.org/12:44
asachttp://bzr-mirror.gnome.org/ghex/tags/12:45
asaci mirror my branch for trunk development.12:45
asacbut when i want to plumber a package for release i want to use the tag ;)12:45
asacthats why i hoped for that launchpad has a syntax like: lp:network-manager/release/0.0.212:46
wgrantTags are not branches...12:46
lifelesstags make sense for releases though12:46
wgrantThey do.12:46
asacwhich would give me a branch of a release i have registered12:46
asaceither tag12:46
asacor a "release" branch12:46
asacwgrant: i dont see any option to specify a bzr thing for release here12:46
asacneither tag, nor revision nor branch12:46
wgrantI don't believe there is one.12:46
wgrantBranch doesn't make sense.12:47
wgrantTag or revision do.12:47
asacbranch makes sense too ... for practical reasons12:47
wgrantBut none seem to be options now.12:47
lifelessasac: in the lp model, branch == series, release == tarball12:47
asaclike svn mirrors12:47
asaclifeless: true. thats fine, but that could be better integrated imo12:47
wgrantSVN tags don't make sense.12:47
lifelessasac: releases as revisions is in the datamodel, no UI for it12:47
asaclike i want to bake a releas in launchpad ... i specify a tag or revision and then the tarball gets produced ;)12:47
lifelessasac: and tags are just revisions12:47
asacok12:47
lifelessasac: I asked for that specific feature, kiko says no for now :(12:48
lifelessasac: but nag kiko - more voices more chance12:48
asaclifeless: too bad. would have helped me to easily do package releases12:48
asaci track packaging based on trunk by regularly merging12:49
asacand for releasee do a merge from the "release branch/tag/revision" ... whatever12:49
asaclifeless: ok thanks12:49
asaclifeless: you know if there is a bug for that?12:49
lifelessasac: no, I don't know12:49
asacok ... i go directly to him then by next chance12:50
lifelessas far as using urls to svn; they map to bzr tags, so a bzr tag (actually revision is needed for immutability) is fine12:50
asaclifeless: they map to bzr tags?12:51
asaclifeless: i am looking at bzr-mirror.gnome.org12:51
asachmm ... how can i list tags ;)12:52
lifelessbzr tags URL12:52
asacah ;)12:53
asaci looked for bzr tag -l ;)12:53
lifelesswhy? :)12:53
asaclifeless: not sure where this idea comes from12:53
asacmaybe git?12:53
asacok that really works12:53
asacfine12:53
asacnow i just need the feature to model a bzr release in launchapd ;)12:54
asaclifeless: bzr tags <empty> works ... but remove urls dont work here12:55
asacbzr tags http://bzr-mirror.gnome.org/libmbca/trunk/12:55
asacbzr: ERROR: extra argument to command tags: http://bzr-mirror.gnome.org/libmbca/trunk/12:55
asacok ... there is no <URL> argument in help12:55
asacwould make sense as a feature i think12:56
lifelessoh13:00
lifelessright, add that then :P13:00
lifelessas a bug13:00
gourLP admins are mostly over the pond?13:15
No`howdy launchpadders13:15
No`maybe it's a silly question: is there any way to automatically pull *every* branch linked to a project?13:16
No`let me explain13:16
No`I'm following a project, for example gwibber13:16
No`I can pull trunk, but it happens that the bleeding edge of gwibber might be in gwibber-experimental-stuff13:17
No`without browsing code.launchpad.net/gwibber, I am not informed that a new branch has appeared13:17
No`or, another way to put this: could it be possible to get notified whenever a new branch appears in a project?13:17
jpdsNo`: If you're on Ubuntu you can install the ubuntu-dev-tools package which has a script which does just that.13:23
jpdsNo`: bzr branch lp:ubuntu-dev-tools13:23
jpdsNo`: Forget that, I just remembered that get-branches only does teams, not projects.13:25
No`jpds: ah... Anyway, I think I have a solution... using the RSS feeds. It looks like you can have an RSS item every time a new revision has been pushed13:30
No`it's not precisely what I wanted, but that's a start13:30

salgadoandrea-bs, what was the expiration date you used?  and where do you see the membership listed as 'Expired 12h ago'?14:10
andrea-bssalgado: I've used 2008-09-01 (today) and here's the team: https://edge.launchpad.net/~beeseek-artists/+members14:11
salgadoah, I see.  it says that it expired 13h ago but the status is Approved14:12
salgadothat's rather confusing14:12
andrea-bssalgado: yep, I assume that's because members are deleted daily14:13
salgadothat's correct14:14
salgadowe shouldn't say it 'Expires 13h ago' as that suggests it's expired already14:14
* salgado files a bug14:14
salgadonow we just need to wait until the script actually flags that membership as expired to see if a notification is sent14:15

Hobbseegour: depends on if the stars align.14:28

Hobbseegour: if your question expires, then you can just reopen it a few times, until they get to it.14:29

gourHobbsee: cool. so it means one can expect to solve it during this lifetime14:29

Kaivalagifeeds - would it be possible to have an rss feed for PPA's similar to what is available for code revisions? I would like to publish my PPA's version release info onto my site...21:57
Kaivalagidisplaying the changelog along with the package would be really useful21:59
mwhudsonthat sounds like it should be possible22:00

beunobigjools, g'nigh bigjools22:02
bigjoolsKaivalagi: thanks22:02
bigjoolsbeuno: and thanks :)22:02
Kaivalagithe other question was more of a long term one, currently the preferred packaging arrangement to get projects into the ubuntu universe is REVU, will this continue to be the standard or do you see an easy migration path from PPA to universe solely in launchpad?22:04
beunoKaivalagi, I see the PPA -> Archive migration happening at some point22:05
beunoit has been discussed22:05
bigjoolsat some point we'll be able to do copy packages from PPAs, yes22:05
Kaivalagiit does seem a big long winded at present...it would be great for everything to be centralised :)22:05
KaivalagiI'll keep a look out for any news...any feeds worth subscribing to to get this sort of info through?22:06
