cjwatsonmichelecs: certainly with current devscripts, 'dch -iU' won't ever append ubuntu1 to the end01:29
michelecscjwatson: mmm .... never tried the U option... it's not on the man page01:31
cjwatsonmichelecs: but, if dch gets it wrong, just edit debian/changelog by hand (and rename the directory if necessary)01:31

michelecsYes! It works! Thanks cjwatson... Why this option is not on the debchange man page?01:33
cjwatsonit's a bug, see above01:36

RAOFWhy do people trawl launchpad sticking random tags on bugs?  Grr.06:18
RAOFThis random gripe brought to you by gnome-do bugs we know how to fix, and don't need "cpu" and "memory" tags attached to.06:20

* wgrant is shocked.10:25
highvoltageheh :)10:25
highvoltagehave you ever considered developing launchpad widgets that can be used in other websites and content management systems?10:26
highvoltageI've created a brainstorm idea for it, so if you have any reasons for/or against it, please comment and vote.10:27
intellectronicahighvoltage: you can develop such widgets using the API10:27
* wgrant wouldn't really want to have $FOREIGN_WEBAPP to have a Launchpad cookie for him.10:28
intellectronicahighvoltage: also, if you want to make suggestions for LP development, the best thing to do is register a spec or file a bug on launchpad itself10:28
wgrantIt'll be particularly nasty when we can modify primary archives through the web UI.10:28
mwhudsonwgrant: i wouldn't grant "allow modification of all data" to a random website, to be sure :)10:29
highvoltageintellectronica: ok10:29
highvoltagewel, it would be nice for a few things, I think10:29
highvoltagelike, you could perhaps have a widget that lists the last bugs you worked on on your blog10:29
intellectronicahighvoltage: you already have feeds which you can try and use for doing something like that10:30
highvoltageor show some alerts of things that someone might want to be aware of. so the widgets would be more informational than functional10:30
intellectronicai think some users already do10:30
highvoltageintellectronica: those use RSS atm though? or are there widget-kind like things that can be used?10:31
intellectronicahighvoltage: atom, no widgets10:31

barryglade88: otp. what's up?16:00
glade88barry: I had a general question.. and since it was regarding launchpad, i'm telling you :)16:01
glade88while adding branding images to a launcpad team, we need 3 images..16:03
glade88one 192x192, one 64x64 and one 14x1416:03
glade88whats the use of 64x64.. its showed up nowhere in the new launchpad.. (which used to come up in the older one beside the heading of the team page)16:03
glade88sorry.. bad english :/16:03
rsc-rockstar, what about being able to have the latest source package (from trunk) for download on my Launchpad project's homepage?16:07
rockstarrsc-, there are the PPAs.  A few of my projects do something similar.16:07
rsc-:( sigh, okay.16:10

barryjcastro: i just purged the list for ~64-bit.  they should be able to re-request it now16:28
glade88right.. and it isnt used anymore since now there's this tab like thing at the top which has the 14x14 icon. so shouldn't the entry for the 64x64 icon be removed?16:28
barryjcastro: while i have you here have you looked at +mailinglists recently?  i don't know what to do with those 5 lists16:28
barryglade88: seems reasonable to me.  can you open a bug report on that?16:28

LaserJockRinchen: so I just wanted to make sure we're all clear17:04
Rinchenok, I have the question pulled up.  Just need those urls inside the question17:05
Rinchenas long as the ownership items are ok, I can make the change17:05

LaserJockRinchen: will be just blow away the existing matplotlib project?17:07
RinchenLaserJock, I haven't looked at who the owner is today.  If it's registry, for example, then I can make the changes17:08
RinchenLaserJock, if it's not, I have to contact the owner for approval first17:08
LaserJockRinchen: it's not registry17:08
RinchenLaserJock, ok, thanks for the links.  I now need to contact those two folks17:10
glade88hello.. does an administrator of a team has lesser privileges than its owner?17:10
LaserJockRinchen: alright, thanks for doing that. It should make future work by Ubuntu much better if we have the right project set up :-)17:11
LaserJockglade88: I believe so yes17:12
LaserJockglade88: an owner can change the owner of the team, for instance :-)17:12
dsargeanthello,  can I request than an unused launchpad account that I assume was autocreated be deleted so that I can steal the user name (dsargeant)?  I tried to contact the user via the given email, but it bounced.17:12
glade88LaserJock: except for ownership change privileges, an admin can do everything the owner can?17:13
glade88like setting up the launchpad mail list as the team's email address?17:13
LaserJockglade88: I think so yes17:15
glade88oh.. so we have a bug heh :D17:15
LaserJockglade88: I just looked at a team I'm admin-but-not-owner of and it looks like I can set branding, email address, etc.17:15
glade88i'll post the bug report.. please see if you can reproduce it17:16
LaserJockglade88: how do you mean?17:16
LaserJockI'd think it'd be a bug otherwise personally17:16
glade88ya it will be..17:17
glade88LaserJock: if one is the admin but not owner of a team and he accesses https://edge.launchpad.net/~teamname/+mailinglist , he is not allowed in. But the owner is17:19
LaserJockglade88:  that sort of make sense17:19
glade88how come?17:19
LaserJockwell, that's a rather major change17:20
LaserJocknot one that gets easily reverted17:20
glade88so thats the second thing an admin cannot do17:20
glade88it does17:20
glade88it can be reverted by an admin17:20
glade88but set up by the owner17:20
glade88thats strange17:20
LaserJocknot to me17:21
LaserJocki.e. the owner has to set up a list, how a list is used once created is up to admins17:21
glade88a min17:21
LaserJockbut I agree that it's king of on the line between owner and admin territory17:21
glade88LaserJock: so this is normal behavior?17:22
LaserJockglade88: what do you mean by "normal"? happens to everybody or is the intended behavior?17:23
glade88oh btw, admins can apply for a mail list17:24
glade88since when a team doesnt have one17:24
glade88an admin can request for one17:24
glade88but its only this specific page that doesnt open17:24
glade88intended behavior17:24
LaserJockI don't know about intended behavior as I'm  not a Launchpad developer17:25
glade88okay. I'll set up a bug report. If it's normal, it could be marked invalid. Thanks :)17:25

Rinchenthat way we have a log of it all18:43
LaserJockwell18:43
Rincheneven if it's my confusion18:43
Rinchen:-)18:43
LaserJockthe problem is how can LP handle the situation18:44
LaserJockI was trying to not drop the "info" of python2.4-matplotlib, but I think we should use the matplotlib project18:44
LaserJockperhaps we can just manually move info over18:45
RinchenLaserJock, is it a motu or ubuntu convention question or a  question of which project to use for ubuntu?18:46
LaserJockthe later sort of18:47
LaserJockIMO, the python2.4-matplotlib project was created in error (general complaint with LP project registering there)18:48
LaserJockbut it's actually been used18:48
LaserJockwhen in reality we *should* be using the "matplotlib" project, and it should be owned by John Hunter, IMO18:48
RinchenI see18:49
LaserJockso I'd like to transfer the bugs and bzr code import from python2.4-matplotlib to matplotlib so that we don't lose it18:49
Rinchenso, there's an issue with that18:49
LaserJockthe easiest way I saw to do it was to rename python2.4-matplotlib to matplotlib, the only question being, I guess, is who's the owner18:49
RinchenJohn may not accept it which puts the ubuntu package at risk18:50
LaserJock???18:50
LaserJockit doesn't matter!18:50
LaserJockwe don't create separate projects for packaging18:50
LaserJockthat'd be retarded18:50
Rinchenoh, so you mean file a bug against John's project as if it were upstream?18:50
Rinchenthe issue then is how to pass the bugs to his upstream bugtracker18:51
LaserJockthat's what it's for!18:51
* LaserJock calms down a bit18:51
LaserJockI'm just in a bit of a hurry, sorry18:51
LaserJockthe projects are used to file bugs against upstreams18:51
LaserJockcurrently the bugs are being filed against the wrong project, IMO18:52
LaserJockand the vcs-import is hosted in the wrong project18:52
LaserJockit should all go to matplotlib18:52
LaserJockthis is why I'm not very happy with Launchpad's "let's create a project for everything" push18:53
LaserJockand doubly unhappy that packagers are supposed to create projects just to track bugs18:53
RinchenLaserJock, right. Ok, so the next move is for hector to agree and then I can get those moved over19:08
* Rinchen found a bug on the project screen.19:10

rsc-I started my launchpad project (maintained by a team) with a branch in ~myusername. now my teammates can't commit to the branch. how can i fix this?21:10
intellectronicarsc-: why don't you just push the branch as the team?21:11
rsc-how?21:11
rsc-would I be right to just do a "bzr push lp:~dusttheme-dev/dusttheme/trunk" (dusttheme-dev as the team name) and under the web interface, do a "link to branch" to change it to that path?21:12
LarstiQrsc-: certainly yes to the bzr push lp:<team>/<project>/<branch>21:30
LarstiQrsc-: I don't know what 'link to branch' is about, so I'll refrain from commenting on that21:31
rsc-woudl you guys recommend using Bazaar VCS for personal (one-person) projects?21:45
mwhudsonrsc-: definitely21:46
rsc-mwhudson, if i do that (just working locally), how should i make branches?21:46
mwhudsonum, the usual ways?21:47
mwhudsonbzr push, bzr branch21:47
rsc-how?21:47
rsc-sorry im new to this :)21:47
mwhudsonbzr init to start21:47
rsc-bzr init / bzr add / bzr commit21:47
rsc-lets say i've done those, and made some changes, and i'm ready to "branch" out to another branch (for testing)21:48
mwhudsonrsc-: http://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/bzr.dev/en/mini-tutorial/index.html21:48
mwhudsonrsc-: bzr push ../testing will create a new branch21:48
rsc-omg wow cool21:49
rsc-sorry, i come from SVN, so I'm still used to the whole "big repo in the sky" thinking :P21:50
rsc-can i "switch" branches?21:50
rsc-if that makes sense...21:50
mwhudsonwell, i know one sense in which you can :)21:51
rsc-how?21:51
rsc-aside from the obvious "cd ../testing" of course21:51
mwhudsonwell, it requires a bit more set up21:52
mwhudsonbzr divides up the concepts of "working tree", "branch" and "repository"21:52
mwhudsonworking tree == the files you edit, like svn21:52
mwhudsonbranch = 'ordered sequence of revisions'21:52
mwhudsonrepository = 'where data is stored'21:53
mwhudsonso what you can do is have a repo at project-repo21:53
rsc-yeah, I can see how those terms can differ between svn/git/bzr/etc...21:53
mwhudsonbranches at say project-repo/trunk21:54
mwhudsonproject-repo/testing21:54
mwhudsonthen a 'lightweight checkout' in say working21:54
mwhudsonthen in the checkout you can say21:54
rsc-i see21:54
mwhudsonbzr switch testing21:54
rsc-basically bzr doesn't have much of a "repository" (that houses many branches/tags) in the SVN sense21:55
rsc-because each branch is independent21:55
rsc-would I be correct about that?21:55
exarkunrsc-: a repository is an optimization21:55
rsc-optimization?21:57
rsc-btw, whats the difference between a checkout and a pull?21:58
exarkunhttp://bazaar-vcs.org/CheckoutTutorial :)21:58
rsc-okay21:59
rsc-hmm21:59
rsc-so if i make a branch of an LP project (bzr branch lp:xxxxx), and i make local commits (say, 10), then I do a push... will that make 10 commits to the branch on LP? or just 1?21:59
exarkun1021:59
rsc-why is that/22:00
rsc-what if i just want to do one commit?22:00
exarkunbecause push is just a way to put the data somewhere else22:00
exarkunit's not really right to say you make "10 commits" or "1 commit"22:00
exarkunyou already did the commits, they're over22:00
exarkunyou're adding 10 revisions22:00
exarkunif you'd rather add 1 revision, then you probably want to merge instead22:00
rsc-oops, revisions.22:01
rsc-so does that mean when I do a "bzr merge lp:xxx", and my copy is more up-to-date, the lp:xxx branch will be the one to be udpated?22:02
exarkunno, since 'bzr merge x' merges 'x' into the wc at your cwd22:03
rsc-okay22:03
rsc-so if I made 10 new revisions on my local branch, how can I update the remote branch with just one consolidated revision?22:03
exarkunnot sure what the best thing to do is.  you could branch the remote again, merge the first branch into the second, then commit the merge and push it back to remote22:04
exarkunthere might be a way to do the same thing in fewer steps.22:04
rsc-i see22:05
rsc-hmm.22:06
rsc-whats the difference between "bzr update" and "bzr merge"?22:06
exarkuntons22:06
rsc-dont they do the same basic thing -- update your copy with the changes from the remote?22:08
beunomerge can bring in changes from any branch22:08
beunoupdate just updates your branch from it's parent22:08
rsc-okay22:09
rsc-but if I do a bzr merge [parent]22:09
rsc-would that be functionally equivalent?22:09
beunonope22:09
beunothat would make all merged revisions part of 1 in the mainline22:09
beunoupdate makes your branch look exactly like the remote22:09
rsc-oh.22:09
rsc-discarding your changes.22:09
rsc-your commited and uncommited changes22:10
rsc-...correct?22:10
beunoI'm pretty sure you can't update a modified branch22:10
rsc-erm, ok22:11
exarkunit doesn't discard your commited changes, though.22:11
exarkunit might result in a conflict that you have to resolve.22:11
beunoif you update a branch, it's probably because it's a checkout22:12
rsc-okay22:12
beunosi, whatever you committed, it's parent laready has it22:12
beuno(my typing is horrible today)22:12
beunothe other use for update is to update the working tree, but that's a different workflow we really don't want to get into now  :)22:12
rsc-so if i branch out from a remote branch (bzr branch lp:xxx), "bzr update" will not contact the remote branch..?22:12
beunonope22:13
rsc-because it's a branch and not a checkout?22:13
beunoyou have to do: bzr pull22:13
beunoyeap22:13
beunoit's SVN-like22:13
beuno(checkouts)22:13
rsc-okay.22:13
rsc-oh no, pull vs. checkout -- thats somethign else ive gotta read on22:14

rsc-the mini guide doesn't mention anything about pulling or checking out22:15
rsc-but ill check the main docs22:15
