elmohow do I link a bug to an upstream one?00:00
wgrantelmo: "Also affects project"00:01
wgrantFind the project, and paste the bug URL into the appropriate box.00:01
wgrantAnd hope it works.00:01
wgrantWhich it does in a lot of cases now, particularly since it started automatically creating bugtrackers.00:02
elmoI don't need this upstream link molarkey for the distro source package?00:02
wgrantYou don't need it, but it helps.00:02
wgrantIt sets the default for when you click "Also affects project"00:02
wgrantCompare https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/soundconverter/+bug/260853/+choose-affected-product and https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/convertall/+bug/224049/+choose-affected-product00:03
ubottuLaunchpad bug 260853 in soundconverter "Write ID3 tags to converted files" [Wishlist,New]00:03
wgrantHmm, a product reference in the UI.00:04
elmo"<structured-string 'Invalid series given.'>"00:05
elmo\o/00:05
elmowhat a sweet pop up00:06
wgrantHah.00:06
wgrantI keep away from those pages in general.00:06
wgrantAs they're rather unmaintained.00:06
wgrantWould one file bugs against -foundations or soyuz for those pages?00:10
elmonot soyuz, I don't think00:12
_Zeus_am i the only one annoyed by that long thing at the right on launchpad?00:26
_Zeus_the thing that makes the page so much longer00:26
wgrantOn which page?00:28
wgrantThe only horrifyingly long one is the Ubuntu tag list.00:28
wgrant(that I know of, that is)00:30
wgrantAnd I know most parts of LP pretty well.00:31
_Zeus_yeah, that one00:36
* NCommander wonders whats in the PPA admin menu00:46
wgrantNCommander: Hm?00:49
NCommanderwgrant, https://edge.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/+admin00:49
NCommanderOr equivelent PPA admin URL00:49
wgrantMaking it private, probably.00:50
NCommanderI wonder if there is any other magic in that menu :-P00:50
NCommanderLike a switch to enable it to use real vs. virtual builders00:50
NCommanderwgrant, do any projects have private PPAs AFAIK?00:51
wgrantIIRC that's implicit in being a P3A.00:51
NCommanderP3A?00:51
wgrantPPPA. Private PPA.00:52
NCommanderSuspose the next question is how do you get a PPPA :-)00:53
* NCommander runs00:53
* NCommander also wonders how wgrant knows so much about launchpad's internals00:55
wgrantAs do I.00:55
NCommanderPPPA or your knowledge of the internals of LP?00:56
wgrantThe latter.00:56
NCommanderI think your really kiko, and the wgrant aspect is just a split personality00:56
* NCommander runs00:56
elmoPrivate PPAs are still in development, but they're going to be used for security00:56
elmoas one example00:56
NCommanderVery handy00:56
* NCommander figured the security usage00:57
wgrantWould it be wrong to file two duplicates of bug #2088 in order to bring the list on https://edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-foundations/+filebug into order?00:57
ubottuLaunchpad bug 2088 in launchpad-foundations "psycopgda reconnection and conflict handling" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/208800:57
wgrantEr, hm.00:57
wgrantIt seems indecisive.00:58
NCommanderwgrant, er, what?00:59
wgrantAh, wrong tab.01:00
wgrantJust noting that the list on one of the Launchpadish projectish was slightly out of order.01:00
wgrantBut not that one.01:00
wgrantI have too many tabs open.01:00
NCommanderelmo, is it possible to have a PPA work on normal builders vs. the virtual ones? (I ask only because for some PPAs like xubuntu-dev, it would be nice to see powerpc binaries for those of us who use that architecture ;-))01:02
wgrantNCommander: Port Xen to PowerPC!01:02
NCommanderwgrant, http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenPPC/Build01:03
NCommanderalready don e01:03
wgrantDamn. m68k, then.01:04
NCommanderSo first you want me to port Ubuntu to m68k?01:04
NCommanderk01:04
elmoNCommander: not being funny, but didn't we have this discussion already?01:05
NCommanderNo, that discussion was using qemu01:05
elmoNCommander: because PPAs can install their own packages as build dependencies, it's a firm requirement that they use a strong virtual sandboxed enviroment01:05
NCommanderRight, I know that, for general usage01:06
NCommanderI was just noting that I actually use Xubuntu (server install, then xubuntu-desktop) on my PPC, and its kinda anonying I can't use the beta packages right out of the box on it01:07
elmo(btw, Xen/PowerPC has hardware requirements that we don't meet)01:09
NCommanderah01:09
NCommanderTHat explains that and ends that discussion ;-)01:09
NCommanderMan, I'd thought that PPC was totally dead, but there are 2962 active Ubuntu PPC machines01:10
elmoNCommander: sure, I appreciate it's unideal, and I'd love to be able to support !x86 arches for PPA someday, but honestly, I don't know when anyone's going to get the time to explore alternatives01:10
NCommanderelmo, I'll probably look into it once LP is open01:10
* NCommander finds it amusing he has or has access to every Ubuntu port01:11
* wgrant cries.01:16
* _Zeus_ backs off...01:16
wgrantI'm trying to file bugs on the DSSP<->Product linkage pages.01:16
wgrantBut I keep finding more.01:16
wgrantNot more bugs, more pages.01:16
wgrantI think all 6 that I've found so far can have a bug reported on pretty much every element.01:18
wgrantSo far I've found <DSSP>/+edit-packaging, <DSSP>/+packaging, <Product>/+packages, <Product>/+distributions, <ProductSeries>/+ubuntupkg, <ProductSeries>/+addpackage01:21
wgrantSo there are three instances of each of the two types of pages.01:21
wgrantA couple of the pages expose information about the links that isn't visible on any of the other five, nor the SP page.01:22
NCommanderDSSP?01:26
wgrantDistroSeriesSourcePackage01:26
NCommanderare you sure on addpackage01:28
NCommanderI don't get a Permission Denied on that one01:28
wgrantRight, the permissions differ for ubuntupkg and addpackage.01:29
wgrantFor no good reason that I can see.01:29
NCommanderWhat's ubuntupkg?01:29
NCommander(no, I get Lost Something page, not permission denied)01:29
wgrantProductSeries/+addpackage, not Product.01:29
NCommanderstill getting lost something01:30
NCommanderhttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+addpackage01:30
NCommanderhow badly do I fail ;-)01:31
wgrantThat's a distroseries.01:31
NCommanderoh01:32
NCommanderso then whats a ProductSeries vs. a DistroSeries01:32
wgrantProduct is the old name for project. Still used internally and in places they've forgotten it in the UI.01:33
wgrantSo a project series.01:34
NCommanderOh I see01:34
NCommanderBTW, wgrant, they fixed having Releases for distributions01:34
NCommanderhttps://edge.launchpad.net/nexenta/hardy - i.e.01:34
* NCommander wishes it was possible to run a publisher instance for Nexenta, but meh :-P01:35
wgrantYep, I noticed that.01:37
NCommanderI do hope LP gets the ability to seperate publisher from Soyuz so it would be possible for us to use LP's archive tools without having to run a seperate LP instance01:40
NCommander(once LP is open)01:40
wgrantPublisher is part of Soyuz...01:40
NCommanderright01:42
NCommanderEssentially, what I'm saying is having all archive functions controlled via launchpad.net, but hosting our own infrastructure01:42
NCommanderI'm told to do that, publisher would require work to seperate it from Soyuz, or Storm would require modification to work across the internet01:42
NCommander^securely01:43

markhI've pushed a branch to launchpad under my username (ie, lp:~mhammond/...) when I really want it under one of the groups - can I move it?05:40
wgrantmarkh: Sure, click on the edit button next to the branch's title.05:41
markhwgrant: ahh, I see now - thanks05:44
nijabahello. I'm getting a trying to get to http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-virt/vmbuilder/trunk/revision/198 and get a "please try again error", normal?05:51
markhnijaba: me too on a different branch05:55
nijabamarkh: ok, I feel better now . I know that I am not alone ;)05:55
RAOFWorks for me, now.05:56
markhstill not for me05:57
jmlare there any OOPS codes?06:07
wgrantLoggerhead doesn't OOPS, does it?06:09
markhworking now!06:10
wgrantjml: Can you please explain why I got the error that caused me to file bug #272304?06:10
ubottuLaunchpad bug 272304 in launchpad-bazaar ""User timeout caused connection failure." doesn't make sense" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/27230406:10
jmlwgrant: nope, sorry, there's not enough info there. what were you doing? with which branch? time would also be good in case we have to check the logs.06:12
wgrantjml: It's still there now: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~wgrant/ubuntu-cve-tracker/mainold06:13
jmlwgrant: ok. that means that the branch timed out when being mirrored to the public area.06:18
wgrantjml: Ahh. Thanks.06:18
jmlwgrant: why it timed out is another interesting question.06:18
wgrantIt is an old knit branch.06:18
wgrantWith an awful lot of files.06:18
jmlwell, the size per se doesn't matter06:19
jmlit's more a question of how granular bzr's progress reporting is.06:19
wgrantAh.06:19
wgrantI find it awful for knits.06:19
jmlthen, that's quite possibly the problem.06:20
* wgrant might try his luck recreating that as a stacked branch.06:20
jmlyou can trigger a re-mirror using launchpadlib (but I don't have the right incantation handy), or by doing a trivial write to the branch.06:20
wgrantI need to upgrade it, and an upgrade will take forever. I'll just recreate it.06:21
wgrant(particularly as I think it's all merged)06:21
jmlwell, upgrading your local copy and pushing won't be so bad06:21
jmloh, if it's merged... :)06:21
* jml -> risotto06:21
wgrantMmm, risotto.06:21
wgrantIt's an ongoing branch, but I think it's all in master now.06:22
wgrantThanks for the help.06:22
wgrantHrmph.06:24
wgrantIt dereferenced my lp: URL. Not very nice of it.06:24
wgrantCreated new stacked branch referring to bzr+ssh://wgrant@bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eubuntu-security/ubuntu-cve-tracker/master/.06:24
wgrantAnd a pretty AssertionError because of that. Yay.06:39
jmlwgrant: is the assertion error on Launchpad or Bazaar?06:44
wgrantjml: LP. Complaining that my hosted branch references a non-hosted branch. It dereferenced lp:ubuntu-cve-tracker, which I passed as --stacked-on.06:45
wgrantI'm using the real HTTP URL for now, so it should be happier.06:46
jmlsame branch as before?06:47
wgrantlp:~wgrant/ubuntu-cve-tracker/main06:47
wgrant(the one I pointed you to earlier had been main, but I renamed it because it was sooooo slooooow and needed to die)06:48
jml*nod*06:48
wgrantIs it a bug that it dereferences the lp: URL?06:48
jmlno.06:48
jmlwell...06:48
jmlno.06:49
wgrantHow is one meant to do it, then?06:50
jmlyou'd have to stack on the http url. It's possible that bzr makes it harder than it could be.06:51
wgrantBut I don't know that the HTTP URL exists. I am a poor ignorant lp: user06:52
jmlwgrant: oh, one of those.06:52
jmlwgrant: well, then we'll be rolling out something soon that does it all for you magically.06:52
wgrantWait. What.06:52
wgranthttps://code.edge.launchpad.net/~wgrant/ubuntu-cve-tracker/main06:52
wgrantThat makes a total of *no* sense.06:53
jmlok. that's definitely a bug.06:53
* jml files06:53
wgrantThanks.06:53
wgrantWhat is a hosted branch if not something on bazaar.launchpad.net?06:54
jmlwgrant: it's an overzealous security check.06:55
wgrantApparently.06:56
wgrantjml: Shall I use an unstacked pack branch for now, or is there a workaround?06:58
jmlno workaround I can think of, sorry.06:58
jmlhmm.06:58
jmlno.06:59
jmlit's a security check, the whole point is I can't think of a workaround ;)06:59
wgrantA security check that always returns false? Bulletproof, I guess.07:01
mwhudsonb = bzrlib.branch.Branch.open('bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~wgrant/ubuntu-cve-tracker/main')07:02

wgrantmwhudson: Thanks. I'll try that.07:05

mwhudson(this is what the automagic stacking thing will do for you)07:05
wgrantDoes that not work yet?07:06
mwhudsonwgrant: a phased rollout seemed sensible, in case of horrific bugs07:08
wgrantmwhudson: Indeed, but having something that can't be used isn't an excellent method of testing.07:09
mwhudsonwgrant: _we_ can use it07:09
wgrantIt seems to be complaining less now, but I might not have waited long enough...07:09

HewHi. I'm trying to update the bug status/milestone/comment of a bug, but I get this error: "Application error.  Unauthenticated user POSTing to page that requires authentication.". I've tried pressing back and trying again, but it refuses to let me comment. I'm using edge.08:17
wgrantHew: Try logging in. You may have been logged out by viewing a Launchpad feed.08:19
Hewwgrant: Thanks, I had indeed been logged out for some reason.08:21
wgrantViewing feeds seems to destroy your session at the moment; I believe it's being worked on.08:22
Hewwgrant: No worries, these things have to be expected when on launchpad-beta. What is a "feed" though?08:25
wgrantHew: An RSS or Atom (I forget which) feed. Does that make more sense?08:25
Hewwgrant: Yes, even though I don't view feeds (unless firefox is pulling it down in the background or something).08:27
mwhudsonthe fix for this has landed, btw08:30
mwhudsonso it should be fixed on edge pretty soon08:30
