kiko-zzzneed to figure out what to do with some of the blocks so they don't conflict with customer requirements01:32
kiko-zzzget rid of some other proprietary bits we can't redistribute in the tree01:32
kiko-zzzI will release a roadmap later this month01:32
wgrantI wondered if there would be bits like that.01:32
wgrantRelease as in to us mere mortals?01:33
zookofamilytimeI still don't see any new events on my trac due to its linkage with launchpad.01:37
zookofamilytimehttp://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe01:37
zookofamilytimeAlso, everyone please download Tahoe and try it out.  It is a secure distributed p2p filesystem.01:37
wgrantWon't it only do things if bugs have been linked?01:37
zookofamilytimeIt's awesome.01:37
zookofamilytimeSo, then please report some bugs in Tahoe, using launchpad, and see what happens.  ;-)01:38
spivThe pycon talk about it was certainly awesome.01:38

radixOk, so I'm building a package which build-depends on a package that's already in my PPA, but it's saying it can't find it02:06
radixso I guess I'm doing something wrong02:06
persiaradix: Are the binaries in your PPA as well as the source?  Other than that, it's hard to guess what might be the issue.  Maybe a versioned dependency?02:08
radixpersia: yes, libglktermw-dev built successfully, then I uploaded glulxe, and it couldn't find it02:08
radixmy log is at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18146684/buildlog_ubuntu-hardy-i386.glulxe_043-0ubuntu1_MANUALDEPWAIT.txt.gz02:08
wgrantradix: How long between the build completion and other upload?02:08
radixwgrant: not very long02:08
wgrantradix: You might need to wait up to 20 minutes (the binaries are only published on */20)02:09
radixok, they're there, so I'll try another build of glulxe02:09
persiaradix: If you add the PPA to /etc/apt/sources.list, can you download the -dev package?02:09
wgrantJust hit "Retry build".02:09
persia(with apt-get install)02:09
wgrantOr maybe wait - but it might take a while to automatically retry.02:09
radixpersia: I'm just looking at the http server now: http://ppa.launchpad.net/radix/ubuntu/pool/main/g/glktermw/02:10
persiaradix: OK.  When you *know* it's published, wait a bit for for tbe buildd internal mirror to get a copy (buildds have no network access), and then click retry.02:10
radixaha02:10
radixok02:11
wgrantDepwait builds should be automatically retried when their deps are available.02:11
radixoh, sweet02:11
wgrantI'm not sure how frequent that is for PPAs, however.02:11
radixI guess I won't hit that button then02:12
radixI don't see any indication that they'll be retried, but I guess I'll wait a while longer02:13
wgrantThere hasn't been a publisher for 13 minutes.02:13
wgrantThere's little point retrying before another publisher run.02:13
radixthat's good to know02:14
radixthis is the first time I've used PPA, and the only docs I've found are https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA , so I'm still pretty clueless02:15
wgrantThat build probably only started a couple of minutes too early.02:16
wgrantIt might actually work if your retry it now.02:16

radixI should really set up a barebones VM so I can more easily spot these build-deps errors02:43

Hobbseehey jtv!04:41
* wgrant escapes04:42
jtvhi Hobbsee04:44
jtvHobbsee: what did I do to scare wgrant?04:44
Hobbseejtv: i'm not sure.  But he just had to deal with an incredibly dim user, and has been dealing with the forums, so he was probably already highly traumatised.04:44
Hobbsee(how do people know about #ubuntu-bugs, #ubuntu-quality, etc, yet not know how to install a program with ubuntu?)04:45
wgrantSelective cluelessness.04:46
jtvHobbsee: don't ask me.  I've been dealing with some guy who uses my mailing lists and bug tracker to ask for help with issues like "I'm using your C++ library and I'm getting these link errors about missing functions"04:46
jtvWhere the issue is of course simply that he's not linking to the library.04:46
Hobbseejtv: classy.04:46
Hobbseeyes, of course.04:46
jtvOr "I'm getting an error, something about a variable definition.  Why?"04:46
wgrantSome of the stuff in the Programming Talk subforum of ubuntuforums.org is great.04:47
jtvWhen I get him to tell me the actual error messages, it's "I'm getting this error, what's wrong with my program?"04:47
jtvwgrant: ah, examples!04:47
jmljtv: "give me a minimal, runnable example that reproduces the problem" is my favourite way of dealing with those.05:00
jtvjml: In this case of mine I've moved on to "I can help you solve your problem, but you must put in some effort—such as bothering to read the error message."05:03
jmljtv: sucks :(05:04
jtvjml: I once spent time explaining that to someone, and the guy told me what an idiot I was for wasting my time on that.05:05
jtvjml: we do get some entertaining stories out of it...05:05
jmljtv: explaining "reading the error message"?05:05
jtvjml: and "produce a minimal example" and such05:06
jmljtv: ahh ok.05:06
jmljtv: well when they do that I reach for my ignore gun.05:06
jtvjml: and resolve not to spend so much time on it next time?05:07
jmljtv: well, this is mostly in an IRC context05:07
jmljtv: so I say, "can you please paste a minimal, runnable example to <pastebin>" and then generally don't actually bother elaborating until they do so (or confess that this is proprietary code they are being paid to work on or what have you)05:08
jtvjml: and on IRC I suppose the ignoring is more work.  :-)05:09
jmljtv: /ignore <foo> all05:09
jmljtv: also, having op privileges is nice :)05:09

jdrakeI have specified a milestone called 'demo1a' and pushed some updates to a related branch and tagged it demo1a. How can I get the demo1a milestone to be connected with the specific revision?05:49
Ursinhajdrake, with the specific revision you've pushed to lp? I'm not sure you can do such association05:54
Ursinhabzr revision, there is05:54
jdrakeWhat is the point of saying a milestone on lp? What does it link with to have any meaning?05:55
Ursinhajdrake, you can associate bugs and blueprints to it05:56
Ursinhaso, targeting these items to a milestone, you can keep track of what is supposed to be released05:57
jdrakeBut you can't associate actual code to it?05:58
Ursinhayou can associate a branch to a milestone, but not a specific revision06:00
wgrantI thought branches were associated with series, and releases could have tarballs.06:00
wgrantReleases should really be able to have a bzr tag attached to them, IMO.06:00
Ursinhawgrant, you're right, sorry, it's a series that can be associated to a branch06:01
Ursinhayou clearly have much more experience on LP than me :)06:02
jdrakeok, I am confused here.06:03
Ursinhawgrant, when I said that you can keep track of what you'll release, I use the milestone as a "release target", as we do in LP06:03
jdrakeSo I have a milestone, can I get something associated with this tag 'demo1a'/revision 3, that can be a release of some kind?06:03
Ursinhajdrake, let me try to clarify, and wgrant can correct me if I'm wrong06:03
wgrantUrsinha: Right, Launchpad fails the dogfood test. Launchpad developers don't use Launchpad properly.06:03
wgrantProbably because milestones don't make much sense for Launchpad.06:04
wgrantWell, some milestones should be able to be marked as being releases, IMO.06:04
Ursinhajdrake, no, you can't associate a specific revision to something in LP06:04
wgrantWhereas at the moment they are separate concepts.06:04
Ursinhajdrake, but yes, you can associate a whole branch06:04
jdrakeThat seems buggered06:06
wgrantIt makes sense to be able to associate revisions or tags with releases, and it makes sense to have the concept of releases and milestones merged. Neither of those are currently possible.06:07
wgrantjdrake: At the moment, you can upload files to a release for users to download.06:07
Ursinhajdrake, what I'm saying is that the smaller unit of code you can associate to something is a branch06:07
Ursinhajdrake, if you want to "release" something that belongs to a specific revision, you may package that somehow and release it06:07
Ursinhaas wgrant just said06:07
Ursinhabut all suggestions are welcoe06:08
Ursinha*welcome06:08
Ursinhawgrant, why you say milestones don't make much sense for LP?06:10
wgrantUrsinha: LP 2.1.10 is a release.06:13
wgrantBut in the Launchpad webapp it is a milestone.06:13
Ursinhawgrant, it's a milestone to a release06:13
wgrantI think 'release' should just be an extra flag on a milestone, as that's all it is.06:13
Ursinhamilestone is a point to achieve06:13
Ursinhawhich is not wrong in the sense we use, I think06:13
jmlUrsinha: we don't use releases though.06:14
wgrantIf Launchpad were open, Launchpad itself 2.1.10 would have downloadable files. Thus it doesn't make sense in the current model.06:14
Ursinhamaybe we should be more clear in using releases06:14
Ursinhajml, yes, faster than me06:14
wgrant2.0 should be a series, 2.1.10 should be a milestone with the release flag.06:14
beunowgrant, the whole release/milestone/series is having a makeover06:15
beuno"it's in the works"06:15
wgrantbeuno: Oh, good to know. What's changing?06:15
beunothey are a bit confusing06:15
wgrantIs the design public?06:15
wgrantI think bzr shows how it's broken.06:15
wgrantTheir milestones inevitably duplicate their releases.06:16
beunowgrant, I don't really remember right now, but, if IIRC, series and milestones will be collapsed unto one06:16
wgrantAnd I think they make rather good use of the current functionality.06:16
wgrantbeuno: That makes approximately 0 sense. Do you mean releases and milestones?06:16
beunoor milestone will become releases06:16
beunoit's 2am06:16
wgrantHeh.06:16
beunoso I'm a bit off  :)06:16

beuno:p06:17
Ursinha:P06:17
beunowgrant, something with series will happen as well06:18
beunobecause it's confusing right now06:18
wgrantbeuno: I bet we're going to have this sprung on us and it will be completely broken.06:18
beunoyou have to create a series to create a release to add download files06:18
beunowgrant, I bet it won't be completely broken, and it will rock your socks off06:18
beuno:)06:18
* beuno is a bit fuzzy on the details, and is very very very tired06:19
wgrantI think that the series data model shouldn't change, but they should cease to be explicitly managed.06:19
wgrantie. when creating a release it should ask you to either select an existing series or create a new one.06:20
beunoand who said it wasn't going to work that way?06:20
wgrantYou learn to doubt Launchpad design after a while, I'm afraid.06:20

wgrantWhy are there so many anonymous submissions? Isn't one required to enter a valid Launchpad email address at the end of the process?13:21
adeuringwgrant: There are many more Ubuntu users than Launchpad users, and we did not want to require an LP account for the submissions.13:22
adeuringwgrant: But as soon as somebody registers an LP account with the email address from a submissions, he'll own that submission13:22

morgswell, your first build of the toolchain on a new distroseries requires something to build it with...13:55

wgrantCopying backwards sometimes makes sense.13:55
wgrantNot always.13:55
wgrantBut people should be smart enough to check this.13:55

wgrantmorgs: We carry over the entire archive (except for partner... or is there a bug on that?)13:55
lagaforward-ports to a completely new series are a different thing then letting joe sixpack copy packages in their PPA ;)13:55

nealmcbadeuring: then what is the integration about? and  I thought it worked for ubuntu16:46
adeuringnealmcb: need to check...16:47
gmbzooko: Hmm. Interesting. Okay, I'm continuing to look into this, but it actually looks at the moment as though Launchpad can't authenticate properly for some reason with the Tahoe Trac instance. I suspect it's a bug in the plugin that I've not seen before.16:47
gmbzooko: I'm going to set up a test instance and debug this. It might be worth your while to disable the plugin for now so that Launchpad can at least import statuses from the Tahoe Trac again.16:48
nealmcbhttp://doc.bazaar-vcs.org/latest/en/user-reference/bzr_man.html#bug-tracker-settings16:48
zookoCould it be that the authentication mechanism I'm using is not the one you expected?16:49
zookoThere are several authentication mechanisms people can use for Trac./16:49
gmbzooko: Well, the launchpad user should be special-cased by the plugin.16:49
gmbIt bypasses the standard auth mechanisms for exactly that reason.16:49
zookoI'm using apache htdigest.16:49
zookoHm.16:49
