beunomips, a comment?09:50
mipsbeuno, I commented by email and accidentaly quoted the the mail which displays the users email address and my signature.09:54
beunomips, you can't really edit comments09:54

mipsSorry to bug you for this as it is all due to my own stupidity10:00
mrevellmips: I'm afraid I can't edit a comment directly but I can make sure our admins are aware of your need.10:00

mrevellmips: No problem!10:01

wgrantmrevell: Are you aware of the other instances of his email address that that user wishes to have removed?10:18
wgrantHe's quite angry.10:18
mrevellwgrant: Sorry, I'm not sure who you're talking about.10:19
wgrantmrevell: The user who owns the email address in the comment that mips requested be edited.10:19
wgranthttps://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/3782510:19
wgrantSee the recent comments on the bug referenced there.10:20
mrevellwgrant: That last question you posted seems to have been resolved.10:21
mrevellwgrant: So, to answer your question, I'm not aware of the other instances.10:21
wgrantmrevell: Not quite resolved. Check the bug referenced there.10:22
wgrant... except that seems to timeout.10:23
wgrantThe filer of that question is not the complainant, and the complainant does not accept the answer.10:24
geserwgrant: try non-edge, what I've read it works currently better than edge10:26
wgrantgeser: I just had to refresh a couple of times.10:27
mrevellwgrant: So, I think the person who has the complaint should get in touch with us. Launchpad does not reveal email addresses in bug comments to non-logged-in users, which prevents problems with spam-bots etc. It's difficult, though, to deal with an issue by proxy.10:28
wgrantmrevell: I'm aware, but as you can see the user is refusing and being generally unhelpful.10:28
mrevellwgrant: Well, I guess that this particular user's choice!10:29
mrevellwgrant: I don't mean to seem unhelpful myself but there's only so much help we can offer when someone isn't prepared to come to us directly.10:29
wgrantSo you're just going to let the situation deteriorate into more unpleasantness, when it is clear that he wants it to happen?10:29
wgrantHis attitude is certainly unhelpful.10:31
wgrantBut it's easily fixed.10:31
mrevellwgrant: Let me look into it further. tbh this is the first I've come across this particular situation, so thanks for bringing it up.10:32
wgrantmrevell: As you can see, it's been around a while.10:32
wgrantAnd was brought up in the channel about 12 hours ago.10:33
mrevellwgrant: I think there are a couple of issues here and it's probably not appropriate to discuss it further in a public channel10:33
wgrantVery true.10:33
wgrantAnyway, you now know about it. I have achieved my goal.10:33
wgrantThanks.10:33
mrevellwgrant: Unfortunately we don't see all discussions in irc10:33
mrevellBut thanks again for raising it. I'll get on with fixing it, if I can.10:33
LarstiQmrevell: between spm and Jazzva fwiw10:34
mrevelloh, ok thanks LarstiQ10:34
mrevellLarstiQ: hi, btw10:34
LarstiQhi :)10:34
wgrantThe logs for this channel are always small enough that I can read those that occurred overnight.10:35
wgrantWouldn't it be more productive to file one big "Activity log needs an rm -rf" bug?10:50
wgrantThere are so many and they haven't been touched for years.10:50
Hobbseemrevell: why isn't the community person for the day required to read the previous backscroll, and pass anything important on?  It might be a good idea, if launchpad people want to have a reasonable idea about what their users are saying / how they're interacting / any problems they're having11:07
Hobbseelike wgrant says, the logs tend to be pretty small11:08
Hobbsee(assuming that's feedback you actually *want*, of course)11:08
mrevellHobbsee: Generally, we have 24 hour coverage within the team (not of CHR), so any issues remain "live" and the concept of over night makes little sense. And of course we want feedback :)11:09
persiamrevell, Well, there are weekends :)11:10
Hobbseemrevell: so, I presume the issue about the autoresponder and the people on the ubuntu-docs mailing list, and spam of that particular bug is on your "live" radar.  When will that be getting fixed?11:14
Hobbseethat's a bug that's been brought up multiple times on this channel.11:15

wgrantBut seriously, are the specs going to become public in the near future? There have been rumours floating around.11:57
kikoyeah, they'll be gradually moved over to dev.launchpad.net11:57
kikoour internal wiki is a mess so it's a bit hard to transport them over en-masse11:57
kikobut hey what wiki ISN'T a mess11:58
allenapleonardr: https://pastebin.canonical.com/10610/ -- I'm guessing the content type I pass is gibberish.11:58

wgrantAll wikis do end up very messy.11:58
kikojust that cleaning them up is full-time11:59
leonardrallenap: yes, you need to specify the x-www-formencoded type11:59
leonardri would expect an Invalid Media Type error, not a 400, though12:01
leonardrso you might have another problem that i don't see12:01

kikowgrant, you and Hobbsee and my good friend scott k should be aware of how this practically impacts your interaction with the team -- and the subsequent results (or lack of)12:04
=== doko_ is now known as doko
wgrantkiko: Indeed, indeed.12:05
Hobbseekiko: I try.  But i find it very difficult when I see complete wastes of time (like partial implementations of features, that don't seem to get finished)12:05
Hobbseeobviously, it would be better if we just filed bugs, used the sections of the api that are there, and tried to get the hell away from launchpad anywhere else, but it's often not that easy...12:06
kikoHobbsee, the fact that you call them complete wastes of time kinda underlines what I am saying.12:06
Hobbseekiko: you're saying that partial implementation of features, which no one can use because they didn't get finished, *is* a constructive use of time and effort?12:06
loolGot oops OOPS-1033ED526 when filing a bug; resubmitting worked12:07
kikoHobbsee, less facetiously, I'm saying that improvement is incremental.12:07
* Hobbsee tries pushing the big red button, which has been made nice and shinier, but still does nothing. Incremental improvement...yes, I guess you *could* call it that.12:07
* Hobbsee admires the shinyness, though12:08
kikoI don't think that analogy is really appropriate12:08
kikobut your negativity bores me, so I'll look elsewhere12:08
HobbseeI can give you a URL for said shiny button, if you wish...12:08
wgrantI can think of a not too unreasonable reason for that button to be not quite complete.12:09
wgrantIts functionality is split between teams.12:09
Hobbseewgrant: oh, sure.  My point was, it seems to be silly to give extra shinyness to it, until the underlying functionality actually gets completed.12:09

Hobbseelool: edge?12:10

Hobbseeis there anything interesting that will hit edge in the next few months, that will require testing?12:12
Hobbseewgrant: maybe so.  Pity, but understandable.12:15
Hobbseemrevell: oh, I was meaning to ask...someone came in over the weekend asking how to remove a mailing address attached to a team.  Now, a while ago, this was doable, due to semi-duplicated menu options, (assuming you worked around the 404), but the second option seems to have been deleted entirely.  How is this functionality now done?12:21
Hobbseemrevell: I asked them to file a bug, and to file a question on launchpad, but is there a more effective way?12:21
mrevellHobbsee: Let me ask the guy who implemented our mailing list stuff (barry), he's just over to my left on another table12:22
Hobbseemrevell: it's not a mailing list, but OK12:22
cprovHobbsee: the lp-buildd cancellation side will never get done in the way it was planned. However, as you can see, all other lp-users/ubuntu-developers carried on with their lives and problems, you are the only person stuck (very incisively, I must say) on this. Why ?12:22
mrevellHobbsee: Sorry, I mis-read you12:22
Hobbseemrevell: at least, i don't think it fits under mailing lists :-S12:23
mrevellHobbsee: Heh, I don't think so either. Let me take a look12:23
Hobbseecprov: probably because I actually try to use it occasionally, when a buildd locks up.12:23
Hobbseecprov: i'd guess that  most other launchpad users, and ubuntu developers, do not, as they're not buildd admins.12:24
Hobbseecprov: or have console access, so don't use the UI anyway.12:24
mrevellsinzui1: If someone wants to remove a team's email address, how would they do that? I'm struggling to find the option in the UI.12:25
=== sinzui1 is now known as sinzui
sinzuiThat is a bug12:26
sinzuiWe need a losa to do it. I believe there us a stock query that they use.12:26
mrevellthanks sinzui12:27
Hobbseesinzui: thankyou for the helpful answer.12:27
cprovHobbsee: Ok, it makes sense. How often does it happens ?12:27
Hobbseecprov: I think 2 went down over the past week (but i'm not counting the bits when slave scanner and all that kept oopsing out, as I'm not sure of the internals of that)12:28
pfarrellmaybe this is a stupid question -- but how do I see the bugs for pygtk in intrepid in launchpad? I can't find how to search by package12:36
pfarrellah12:36
* pfarrell looks at help.launchpad.net, will come back12:36
Hobbseepfarrell: you need to search by source package12:37
Hobbseepfarrell: you can't search by intrepid bugs as such - well, you can, but i'ts not useful - it'll only show you bugs nominated for intrepid.12:37
Hobbsee(which are very few)12:37
persiapfarrell, Note that you probably want https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pygtk rather than specifically for intrepid, as many bugs in intrepid are nt marked as specifically affecting intrepid, and are instead just bugs against Ubuntu.  You might also find #ubuntu-bugs a good forum to ask about Ubuntu bug management practices.12:37

jisakielgreetings... may I ask a question on launchpad's implementation?22:19
jisakielI'm just puzzled with bzr+ssh working but plain ssh not, and I'd like to replicate that on a personal server ;)22:19
spivjisakiel: it's a custom SSH server, but you can get a similar effect with openssh22:20
jisakieli saw git-shell but bzr seems to have no equivalent22:21
jisakielhmmm how could I?22:21
spivjisakiel: there's a bzr_access script in the contrib/ directory of bzr22:21
jisakielhmmm I'll checkout the sources, can't find it in ubuntu22:22
spivAnd I think other variants have been posted to the mailing list.22:22
spivjisakiel: maybe in /usr/share/doc/bzr?  It would be a shame if the package didn't include it.22:22
jisakielI'll report the bug then because they don't22:24
spivjisakiel: thanks22:24
* spiv files a bug on the docs, they should explain how to use bzr_access or similar22:25
* jisakiel suggest comparing it to git-shell, as that's the way I tried to find it22:26
jisakiel;)22:26
jisakielhey, bzr_access is quite cool ^^ txs a lot22:27
jisakieldidn't even know that command thing could be done with openssh22:30
jisakielhmmmm and any suggestions on avoiding bzr+ssh://bzruser@host syntax? (just for the record)22:31
=== spm_ is now known as spm
jisakielsort of a "more general" git-shell thingie (some way of limiting the commands a shell can run)22:32
jisakielas that way it would still be bzr+ssh://[user@]host22:33
spivYou can set the username to use per host in the client's ~/.ssh/config22:36
spivOr are you asking about something else?22:36
jisakielno, I was wondering if there'd be a more general way of doing it per-user in the server22:44
jisakielbut only similar thing I find is http://www.hackinglinuxexposed.com/articles/20030115.html which is a perl script that just parses the allowed commands22:44
jisakielvulnerable to backticks, etc22:44
jisakielbut the other way will do fine I guess22:46
jisakiellaunchpad's way is still cooler (bzr+ssh://[jisakiel@]launchpad instead of bzruser@22:51
spivWell, you could create a real unix account for each of your users.22:52
jisakielyup, but then I'd have to give them full access to the repo23:18
jisakielas in "rm -rf / whoops"23:18
jisakieland either a full shell, or hack myself a script similar to bzr_access23:19
jisakielthen worry about the backquotes and else... duh, too much work for now23:19
jisakielheh, that is something I like about svnserve23:19
jisakielheh, bzr_access also does not give such fine-grained permissions as I'd love to23:21
jisakiel(just don't want to give +w to nobody who doesn't need it)23:22
jisakielso is there a reasonable way to have per-project permissions right now?23:23
