[07:59] <gnomefreak> wgrant: thanks for the help last night, changing version worked. However i had to retry all of them a bunch of times due to build systems chroot failed a bunch of times on all packages. it was due to kernel version lower than the one needed.
[08:04] <wgrant> gnomefreak: Right, that's normal for Jaunty at this point.
[08:05] <wgrant> Things do break - that's why you're not meant to run it on your own machine just yet.

[08:06] <wgrant> Chroot errors are never your fault.
[08:08] <gnomefreak> ah ok
[08:09] <wgrant> That could probably be described better.
[08:09] <wgrant> I wonder if there's documentation on all of those statuses.
[08:12] <Hobbsee> don't think so
[08:13] <Hobbsee> although I think there was talk about getting some documentation written.
[08:13] <Hobbsee> ages ago
[08:14] <wgrant> Maybe we can steal stuff from the dev wiki once more of it is public.

[12:07] <savvas> using launchpad's PPA, does anyone know if I copy the built binaries from intrepid to hardy, will they work properly?
[12:08] <geser> savvas: have you checked if the dependencies are available in hardy?
[12:08] <bigjools> savvas: depends on the binaries
[12:09] <geser> because even if it works you might not be able to install them
[12:09] <savvas> it's for secret maryo chronicles, 1.6 version: https://launchpad.net/~medigeek/+archive
[12:09] <savvas> I think they have the same package dependencies
[12:09] <savvas> let me check
[12:09] <savvas> thanks btw :)
[12:13] <savvas> well, it looks ok, I'll try it on a virtual machine later
[12:20] <savvas> geser, bigjools: in case it doesn't work, is there a way to use the already upload .orig.tar.gz, but make a build for hardy? (sorry for the highlight)

[14:39] <kiko> mrevell, remind me who the user is that does the import of +text bug renderings periodically?
[14:40] <mrevell> kiko: Hmm, I don't know, I'm afraid.
[14:40] <awilkins> Are there any plans for wiki features in LP?
[14:41] <kiko> awilkins, plans but no dates :-/
[14:41] <awilkins> Does that include trac-style integration of the wiki processor into all the other modules like issue descriptions?
[14:42] <awilkins> Or is that something planned for a later date? ;-)
[14:43] <awilkins> kiko: I'm currently reviewing collaboration systems for my employer ; we've got at least three bespoke special-purpose issue trackers that I want to kill off and replace with a cusomization of something
[14:44] <kiko> awilkins, it would include trac-like intergration, yeah -- you'd be able to use a subset of wikitext more generically.
[14:44] <awilkins> kiko: Robert Collins may have sent you a mail about me ("The UK NHS wants us")
[14:44] <kiko> awilkins, I know, I am getting to your email in my inbox!

[14:44] <kiko> awilkins, 433 unread
[14:44] <kiko> travelling kills me
[14:45] <awilkins> kiko: I'm told that SFEE is one of the options on the table because a contracted project is using it... I've not so far been able to actually download it, our web proxies are being especially awful this week
[14:45] <awilkins> I have my doubts about being able to poke it's soft underbelly to see how it ticks though
[14:46] <kiko> awilkins, you'd really be crazy to use SFEE instead of Launchpad, though I guess it depends on whether you really need a self-hosted solution or not.
[14:46] <awilkins> I know it's PHP but the demo is a VM and I bet it's an encrypted FS or something
[14:46] <awilkins> kiko: I'm not sure we can justify not self-hosting
[14:47] <awilkins> kiko: I;m sure there would be a contingent that would find it politically unacceptable
[14:47] <kiko> awilkins, same contingent that uses salesforce for tracking contacts? :)
[14:48] <kiko> awilkins, or google for searching through enterprise content?
[14:48] <awilkins> I doubt it, this is a government agency ; I think salesforce would be a bit "advanced"
[14:48] <kiko> awilkins, or plaxo for managing business cards?
[14:48] <kiko> heh
[14:48] <kiko> maybe. I just used those examples to point out that people actually do use stuff that's "out there"..
[14:49] <kiko> it'll be hard to find a group producing a tool that is as eager to provide you with a good solution as launchpad, though.
[14:49] <awilkins> We do have atrociously bad internal solution
[14:50] <awilkins> kiko: I like LP, but I think it would need extending for our needs ; we'd probably need to put in some bridges to existing systems and support for different classes of issue with different workflows
[14:51] <awilkins> kiko: I think the same thing is probably true of anything we adopt
[14:51] <awilkins> When I get home I may actually be able to get a full download of this accursed SFEE VM.
[14:51] <awilkins> This allegedly has custom workflow
[14:52] <kiko> awilkins, it does depend on how custom you need to be, but launchpad does offer APIs and machine-readable exports to make integration easy
[14:54] <awilkins> kiko: I do like the fact that it's probably one of the few "forges" which started life in the web 2.0 era.
[14:54] <awilkins> kiko: This makes me more optimistic about the modularity of its internal design
[14:55] <awilkins> kiko: And using it has been a pleasant experience so far.
[14:55] <kiko> awilkins, that's cool to hear. if you want me to help you pitch it internally then we can try -- just keeping in mind that the non-self-hosted meme is a hard battle :)

[15:22] <savvas> cprov: so.. I just use dput -f to upload the source.changes again, but for hardy this time?
[15:23] <cprov> savvas: rebuilds require a new source version.

[16:55] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, is there a reason for someone being able to do this then ^
[16:55] <beuno> tgm4883_laptop, actually, your comment makes me think we may want to distinguish "official" branhces from random branhces
[16:55] <beuno> tgm4883_laptop, yes, free software!
[16:55] <tgm4883_laptop> cause if there is a good reason for that i can get over it being there
[16:55] <beuno> anyone can push branches
[16:56] <tgm4883_laptop> I'm just a little OCD and like things clean
[16:56] <beuno> tgm4883_laptop, if the project's branches where highlighted, would that work for you?
[16:56] <tgm4883_laptop> yes
[16:57] <beuno> tgm4883_laptop, feel like filing a bug for it?   I think it's a good idea, and I'll talk to the right people to make it happen
[16:57] <tgm4883_laptop> yep, i'll file a bug about it
[16:57] <tgm4883_laptop> one question on bugs, then i'll leave
[16:57] <beuno> tgm4883_laptop, thanks. Point me to the bug # afterwards

[16:57] <tgm4883_laptop> thanks ;)
[16:58] <tgm4883_laptop> bugs can be targeted to milestones, but as far as I can tell, once that milestone is reached you still have to manually change the bugs from "fix commited" to "fix released", is this the intent?
[16:59] <beuno> yes, although that is likely to change the in the future
[16:59] <beuno> when you can say "this milestone is released"
[17:00] <tgm4883_laptop> awesome
[17:00] <tgm4883_laptop> that will help a lot
[17:00] <tgm4883_laptop> ok, one more question
[17:00] <tgm4883_laptop> sorry I lied
[17:01] <tgm4883_laptop> Is there currently a way (or should I file a blueprint), that would make a release notes page that automatically grabs fixed bugs, blueprints, etc and puts them on a single page?
[17:02] <tgm4883_laptop> It would make release notes alot easier to make by auto grabbing everything that was targeted to a release.
[17:03] <beuno> tgm4883_laptop, there isn't anything like that
[17:03] <beuno> but, file a bug for it as well, it sounds like something we want to have
[17:03] <tgm4883_laptop> it's a blueprint then ;)
[17:03] <tgm4883_laptop> bug or blueprint?

[17:14] <beuno> tgm4883_laptop, very much appreciate dfor the bug
[17:14] <beuno> tgm4883_laptop, there is something about that
[17:14] <beuno> allenap would know
[17:16] <kabotage> henninge: how come? i just filed two and i can still see the summary title that i put.
[17:16] <henninge> kabotage: what's the title?
[17:18] <allenap> tgm4883_laptop: For projects, project groups and distributions some bug reporting guidelines can be set.
[17:18] <allenap> tgm4883_laptop: These appear underneath the Further Information box when filing a bug.
[17:18] <kabotage> henninge: The application KMix (kmix) crashed and caused the signal 6 (SIGABRT) and Dolphin Crashed While transferring files to Flash drive
[17:18] <allenap> tgm4883_laptop: I'm currently working on making them appear for packages in distributions too.
[17:19] <tgm4883_laptop> ah I see now
[17:19] <tgm4883_laptop> question, would it be possible to have the bug report pre-filled with certain information?
[17:20] <tgm4883_laptop> It can be generic info such as {what happened} {what was expected} etc
[17:20] <tgm4883_laptop> I can see this being beneficial across all projects
[17:20] <allenap> tgm4883_laptop: Not right now afaik. Do you mean, like a template in the Further Information box?
[17:21] <henninge> kabotage: That is the bug title?
[17:22] <henninge> kabotage: if you still see it on your screen, you should also still see the URL in the browser. Can you please give me that?
[17:22] <tgm4883_laptop> no, more like when I file a bug I have the text area to say what happened.  This can be done two ways, either a) seperate text boxes for each part (what happened text box) (what was supposed to happen text box) or b)  Just have those words already in the single text box on seperate lines (what happened) (what was supposed to happen)
[17:22] <tgm4883_laptop> allenap, ^
[17:23] <allenap> tgm4883_laptop: Ah, okay, I think that's what I meant, I just didn't say it very well :)
[17:24] <tgm4883_laptop> ah ok, yes.  I see now.  I thought you were still talking about just the guidelines
[17:24] <tgm4883_laptop> so yes, a template would rock
[17:24] <allenap> tgm4883_laptop: Some bug trackers - the KDE one comes to mind - have wizard-like bug filing processes which take this a step further. That would be quite cool for Launchpad, but a *lot* of work too, and would confuse the user experience.
[17:24] <allenap> tgm4883_laptop: But I think that would be easy (or possible) for a committed project to add by hosting it themselves and hooking into the Launchpad API.
[17:27] <kabotage> henninge: its ok. i see that the bug has been marked as duplicate. thanks for replying though
[17:27] <allenap> tgm4883_laptop: Can you file a bug against malone for this? I can't promise we'll do it soon, but at least we won't forget about it :)
[17:27] <allenap> tgm4883_laptop: For the template idea I mean.

[20:34] <PriceChild> Hey there. I'm thinking of changing a moderated team to a closed one. I'm wondering what will happen to the existing applicants. Will their applications just disappear, or will it let me continue going through them and approving/declining?
[20:41] <beuno> PriceChild, it will let you continue
[20:42] <PriceChild> beuno: Thanks.
[21:12] <lifeless> spm: what rev of pqm is praesiodymiumiumium running
[21:13] <spm> lifeless: bzr revno is 173 - sound useful?
[21:14] <spm> ps. praseomumble works for us :-)
[21:14] <lifeless> spm: I'm debugging a pqm issue for abentley; code wasn't lining up
[21:14] <lifeless> trunk is on 183
[21:14] <lifeless> mthaddon_: here by chance?
[21:15] <spm> I believe he's at lunch atm
=== oubiwann_ is now known as oubiwann-imac
=== fta_ is now known as fta
[21:25] <mthaddon_> lifeless, here now - still need anything?
=== mthaddon_ is now known as mthaddon
[21:25] <lifeless> mthaddon_: no, but I wanted to ask how the ubunet pqm stuff turned out
[21:26] <mthaddon> lifeless, all looking fine, except that for some reason in the web UI it shows "processing x from other project" or something rather than the actual message
[21:27] <lifeless> mthaddon: the project prefix is wrong
[21:33] <wgrant> You're not doing a very good job of keeping Ubunet quiet.
[21:35] <Ursinha> ?
[21:52] <teferi> hey guys, I have an awful problem with my new launchpad account and the old launchpad account I forgot I had
[21:52] <teferi> namely, I can't set my gpg key for the new account (adam-crossproduct) to the key that's still associated with the old account (teferi)
[21:53] <teferi> and I can't complete the merge of the two accounts because some of the email addresses on the old account are ones I don't have access to anymore
[21:53] <teferi> (presumably launchpad snaffled them from my gpg key)
[21:53] <teferi> can someone help me out?
[21:56] <wgrant> teferi: Ask a question at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad, and a Launchpad admin should be able to help you out.
[21:56] <wgrant> Particularly if you have access to the old OpenPGP key, I suppose
[21:56] <teferi> I do
[22:09] <teferi> well, question submitted, but wow is this a pain
[22:11] <wgrant> teferi: What is?
[22:11] <teferi> wgrant: getting my key associated with my account so that I can do an upload to my ppa of the software that I just spent three hours packaging
[22:12] <wgrant> It's quite trivial if you don't have multiple accounts.
[22:12] <teferi> right, but I *forgot* that I *had* the old account
[22:12] <teferi> it was from YEARS ago
[22:16] <xteejx> Can I have a supervisor or account maintainer please?
[22:16] <xteejx> I am a triager for Ubuntu. Please direct your attention to bug 297388. Can we get this account banned?
[22:16] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 297388 in ubuntu "IT REALLY DID WORK FOR ME NOT HARD TO DO AT ALL" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/297388
[22:17] <NfNit|oop> heh.
[22:17] <xteejx> A user is abusing the Launchpad system and the account needs banned before Launchpad is swarming with this "crap"
[22:17] <xteejx> I know... :)
[22:17] <wgrant> xteejx: File a ticket at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad
[22:18] <xteejx> I suppose it wouldn't be hard for someone with no brain hehe
[22:18] <xteejx> wgrant: Thanks
[22:18] <xteejx> :)
[22:28] <wgrant> Erm, that bug is now OOPSing.
[22:28] <wgrant> OOPS-1047EC184
[22:50] <flacoste> Mez: hi there
[23:20] <spm> wgrant: I was perhaps a tad too enthusiastic in my cleanup - either way - acct is disabled, and the comments removed
[23:21] <teferi> spm: hey, can you help me out with my account/gpg key issue from above?
[23:21] <wgrant> spm: You removed the initial Message or something similarly destructive?
[23:21] <spm> teferi: not right atm - but sure
[23:21] <rockstar> wgrant, spm is enthusiastic about everything.  You should keep that in a mental note.
[23:21] <spm> rockstar: :-)
[23:22] <teferi> spm: fantastic, thank you so much
[23:22] <rockstar> spm,  what issue are you having?
[23:22] <spm> rockstar: see #lp-code me/gmb
[23:22] <wgrant> rockstar: Sounds bad.
[23:23] <rockstar> spm, oh, I know what you did!  :)
[23:23] <wgrant> What did he do?
[23:23] <spm> wgrant: having raw db/sql access is not always a Good Thing(tm) :-)
[23:24] <spm> drop database :-P
[23:24] <wgrant> TRUNCATE BugTask;
[23:24] <wgrant> THat would fix most of our problems in Ubuntu.
[23:24] <spm> that was a *joke* in case anything suspects otherwise! :-)
[23:25] <rockstar> spm, I just did a dd of lots of urandom onto one of my live and mounted drives just now. Everyone gets excited sometimes.
[23:27] <spm> rockstar: but did you *mean* to do that? ;-)
[23:27] <rockstar> spm, no, not at all.  But I can laugh because I have good backups.
[23:28] <spm> I still think my PB was taking out an entire floor of Cobol programmers from working for 3-4 hours. Mainframes - they allow such *spectacular* messes to be made.
[23:28] <rockstar> I thought it was writing to a USB flash drive.  I only noticed when the music I was listening to went away.  :)
[23:29] <rockstar> spm, I have a friend who worked at Wikimedia, and he said that they have a box which has the sole purpose of being the single point of failure.
[23:29] <rockstar> Breaking it is like a rite of passage for the sysadmins there.  :)
[23:30] <spm> rockstar: aye. +1 to that!
[23:34] <teferi> well, when processing is centralized, so is failure, more or less by def'n
[23:54] <teferi> man, sure wish i'd remembered that that original account existed :/
