angusthefuzzironically some are linked to spamassassin and clamav blueprints01:03
wgrantHmmmm.01:04
spmhggdh: can you shoot me a link to one of the bugs - verify I've zapped the right accounts again01:04
wgrantBug #299331 is one of his that I can't see.01:04

wgranthggdh: I am.01:05
spmwgrant: hggdh: ta - that's them01:05
hggdhwe have to give him/her at least a bit of credit for being creative01:06
persiaOr at least persistent01:06
wgrantWhat's that other project that he's filing things like #299331 on?01:06
wgrantpersia: No, there's a few different types of spam produced by that user.01:06
persiawgrant, Yes.  I see that.  The persistent comment was about account creation.01:07
hggdhsomeone should tell her/him we are already over 300,000 bugs, so the bet (of when) is gone01:07
wgrantpersia: I only know of 2 accounts... but they come back to life after spm kills them.01:08
wgrantLP doesn't kill accounts hard enough, it would seem,01:08
persiaHrm.  Frustrating that.01:08
wgranthttps://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/5195101:08
wgrantWhat the.01:08
Hobbseecan't you just block his IPs or something?01:10
wgrantspm: You might want to remove the bugs links that I can't from https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/3g-networking-intrepid01:10
spivPossibly they're using unique strings so they can try them in search engines later, to see how useful LP as a place to spam?01:10
wgrantspiv: But then they make them private...01:11
wgrantAfter they file them.01:11
hggdhshould we remove the links from the blueprint?01:11
spivBut bug notification emails get sent first?01:11
wgrantHmm, some of them are after an hour or two.01:11
wgrantGood ppoint.01:11
spivAnd publically archived...01:11
wgranthggdh: I've done those I can, but spm will have to do the rest.01:12
wgrantKill kill kill.01:12
spmwgrant: if only it was that easy.....01:12
hggdhyes, I see...01:12
wgrantspm: You're in ~admins, so you can surely see all of them...01:12
spmsee != delete :-(01:12
wgrantHuh?01:12
wgrantWhy not?01:13
wgrantI can delete any links I see.01:13
spmwgrant: then clearly I am being UI challenged. :-) Where/how?01:14
wgrantspm:01:14
wgrantGah.01:14
wgrant'Remove bug link' or similar in the actions menu on the blueprint.01:14
spmah *insert rude words*01:14
spmta01:14
wgrantYou'll then get checkboxes for the links to all the bugs you can see.01:14
Ursinhawant to see too01:14
wgrantBlueprint has needed some love for too many years.01:14
spmwgrant: much appreciated - abolsute power doesn't equal cleverness :-)01:14
Ursinhaor you mean just the remove bug link01:15
Ursinhaoh, ok01:15
spmwgrant: right -how's that look?01:15
wgrantspm: That blueprint looks much better. But there might be others around.01:16
hggdhwell. I guess I found a boring way to improve my karma01:17
wgrantDid the discussion about bug deletion overnight that branched from the dev meeting come to a reasonable conclusion?01:17
wgranthggdh: I think spm should be about to make those bugs invisible by removing all subscribers.01:17
hggdhah, even better. Thank you, I was getting tired01:18
hggdh(but if they are kept open they will pollute the stats)01:18
wgranthggdh: No they won't, because the user generating stats isn't in ~admins, so won't be able to see that they exist.01:19
hggdhk, thanks01:19

* wgrant was amused to see lots of the 'now playing' in RF commit messages.02:07
spmlikewise - I tend to leave it on DI Trace - less "distracting", but some tasks need "loud and rock" :-)02:09
jmlI'm not a huge fan of that habit...02:09
jmlwe should store that information in revision properties.02:09
wgrantHahah.02:09
wgrantYes, abusing commit messages for metadata... tsk tsk.02:10
jmlwgrant: so, where can you see the RF commit messages?02:10

oldmanfeel free to do the review for my vcs-import though :)14:36
kiko-fudoldman, done14:38
oldmanwow thanks14:39
oldmanbtw off topic, but bazaar plugins, do they need to be python?14:39
kiko-fudoldman, practically speaking yes, though you can get creating with the C python API and bust out of that..14:40
oldmanI currently have some bash --> cmdline stuff do push changes to CMVC14:41
oldmanbut i'd need to learn python better to write it up as a proper plugin14:41
kiko-fudbut python is so easy, and bzrlib is /really/ easy14:42
oldman:-14:42
kiko-fudoldman, so I don't think it's that hard a project14:42
oldman:)14:42
kiko-fudokay, afk for a few hours!14:43
=== kiko-fud is now known as kiko-afk
oldmanunfortunately some of the code base I work with has a silly 'top of the file' changelog14:43

mrooneyIs there a way to have one username forward to another?16:37
mrooneyIn an incredibly longstanding issue with Canonical-Sysadmins, I have to change my LP username to get an @ubuntu email forward, but if I lose the old one it will be rather invasive to my identity and projects and thus far.16:38
matsubara_why do you have to change your LP username to get an @ubuntu email?16:43
matsubara_mrooney: ^16:43
mrooneymatsubara_: someone already has the forward that corresponds to my LP username16:43
mrooneyand apparently there is no way for me to get a non-matching forward16:44
mrooneyso the only way to get one is to change my LP username to something for which a forward doesn't exist16:45
matsubara_yeah, I think that's the only way then. It'd be quite suprising for people emailing foo@ubuntu expecting those emails to arrive to foo, when in fact they arrive to you.16:48
matsubara_what's your concern in changing your current LP username to something that the sysadmins can generate an @ubuntu email for you?16:48
mrooneyBecause I already have been using it for over a year on wiki pages, emails, logged chats, and released code.16:49
mrooney...blueprints, etc.16:50
mrooneynow all those links will be broken16:50
matsubara_mrooney: I see, and yeah, that's unfortunate.16:55
mrooneymatsubara_: so you don't know of any way to accomplish a 'forward'?16:56
matsubara_mrooney: nope. I'm thinking of a way to help you16:58
mrooneyOkay :)16:59
matsubara_mrooney: only way I can think of is for you to create a new profile. rename your existing one to something else that's an acceptable @ubuntu email, and then rename the new profile to your current profile and add a notice there pointing to your new nick.17:02
matsubara_that way you keep your karma, bug reports, etc attached to your new nickname, and people following links outside of LP will know how to reach you17:02
matsubara_after some time you can merge the two17:02
mrooneythat makes sense17:03
matsubara_mrooney: and yes, that's quite a horrible workaround, but...17:03
mrooneyBut why make a new profile then rename it once I rename my current one? Can't I just make a new one with the old name, once I rename my current one?17:03
matsubara_mrooney: yeah, as long nobody registers it in the mean time :-)17:05
mrooneyHm, renaming works faster then creating a new account?17:05
matsubara_well, when you rename, you're freeing up the old name. if someone register a new account in the mean time and take that name, you lose it.17:06
mrooneyRight17:07
