Hobbseehrm.02:35
Hobbseewell, i found another bug02:35
mthaddon?02:35
Hobbseebut so far I haven't managed to reactivate that account02:35
Hobbseemaybe it's not a bug02:36
Hobbseeit throws up an error because the account is suspended, but still lets you fill in details and hit continue and such anyway02:36
Hobbseethen tells you that the token's already validated02:37
Hobbseemthaddon: Well done launchpad guys :)02:37
Hobbseeit appears that there's now no way to shortcut reactivate a launchpad account :)02:38
Hobbseewell, not a suspended one, anyway02:38
mthaddonso it works, but in a very convoluted and broken way?02:39
Hobbseeno, it doesn't work02:39
Hobbseethat account's still dead as a doornail, and i can't think of another way to try to break it open again.02:40
Hobbseemthaddon: fwiw https://edge.launchpad.net/~maurizioantillon and https://edge.launchpad.net/~maurizio-live should be able to have their final killing, too (assuming they're the same person)02:40
mthaddonHobbsee: but that's what we want - when an account is suspended, we don't want it to be reactivate-able02:41
Hobbseemthaddon: precisely.  Hence the well done :)02:41
Hobbsee"it doesn't work", ie, it can't be reactivated.02:41
Hobbseeoh, i see what you meant now.  damn negated negatives and similar.02:41
mthaddonah, thought that was a sarcastic "well done" :)02:41
Hobbseeno, no02:42
Hobbseeif i had been going to do that, i would have used something like "you fail, try again next time"02:42
Hobbseeas well as the phrase "reactivated."02:42
mthaddon:)02:42
Hobbsee;)02:42
mthaddonok, I'm off to find some food - catch you later02:44

pmartihi there, how can I have the trac instance of my project registered with launchpad so I can integrate bug tracking? thanks09:55
gmbpmarti: You need to visit http://launchpad.net/bugs/bugtrackers/+new-bugtracker to register your bug tracker.10:24
gmbpmarti: Do you have the Launchpad API plugin for Trac installed on your project's Trac?10:25
pmartigmb: thanks for the hint10:33
pmartigmb: no I haven't, is it mandatory ?10:33
jameshpmarti: the basic bug status syncing will work without the plugin, but more advanced features need it (e.g. comment syncing)10:35

thekornlool, I might be wrong, but I think there is no API method to get the url of an dsc file17:56
thekornbut I think it should be possible to create the url out of source_package_name, source_package_version and maybe archive.owner17:56

MagicFabNormally I wouldnn't care but he tried joining a support team20:26
MagicFaband when I found about the random bug triaging... I know that sucks up a lot of time from people thinking this is legit20:27
cr3if I have a project with only a couple bugs and I've now done a complete rewrite of the code which would warrant a rename, should I: 1. ask to have the project renamed; 2. create another project, migrate the bugs and ask to have the old project deleted?20:30
LarstiQcr3: did the rewrite invalidate all bugs/history/other resources?20:31
LarstiQI'm guessing no since you ask about migrating bugs20:32
cr3LarstiQ: after looking at them, it seems so, yes20:32
LarstiQah :)20:32
cr3LarstiQ: however, the concerns raised by the bugs are shared by the rewrite, so it would also make sense to mark them as fixed-released. but either way, not a big deal considering there are only a couple bugs20:33
Rocket2DMnhey quick question guys, do we support bugs filed in languages other than english?20:50
cody-somervillewho is "we"?20:50
Rocket2DMnwell, anybody who wants to deal with the bugs - triagers, developers, etc20:50
Rocket2DMnis it ok for people to submit reports in say, spanish?20:51
LarstiQRocket2DMn: that is up to the project the bugs are filed on I think.20:51
Rocket2DMna forum user is asking if s/he can translate my guide to filing bugs into spanish for the LoCos20:51
LarstiQah, Ubuntu20:52
Rocket2DMnyeah, Ubuntu20:52
* LarstiQ moves to the sidelines20:52
Rocket2DMni was under the impression that English was the primary language used, and that other than translations of packages and documentation to other languages, we didn't officially deal with anything in other languages outside of LoCos and specialized areas20:53
Rocket2DMnI'm going to let the user translate my guide of course, but I just want to include a note about filing the reports in English if that's needed20:53
rockstarRocket2DMn, well, you severely limit those who can understand your bugs if you only use spanish.20:54
Rocket2DMnrockstar, i know, I can translate from spanish well enough, but the user in question will be translating the guide into spanish for those who speak spanish as their primary language20:55
Rocket2DMnI thought I had read a year or so ago about english being _the_ language to use, I just wanted to know if I'm crazy or if anybody else has anything to say about the subject20:56
rockstarRocket2DMn, shoot, the more people that know how to file bugs, the more get reported and (hopefully) the more get fixed.20:56
rockstarRocket2DMn, but, I would say the question is probably better asked in #ubuntu-bugs20:56
LarstiQRocket2DMn: it sounds like this is more a question for the Ubuntu community?20:56
Rocket2DMn+1 i agree, but i also don't want to waste people's time if those bugs won't get triaged/fixed20:57
Rocket2DMnrockstar, im in that channel by default, i'll throw the question around in there as well20:57
Rocket2DMnLarstiQ, yes, I thought there would be a fair number in here, but esp. since bugs get filed upstream toward Debian and other projects, other LP users might know.20:58
LarstiQRocket2DMn: as an upstream project, I don't think I've seen a non-English bug report yet, nor would I encourage it. We do get support requests in different languages though.20:58
LarstiQas a non-native (Dutch) myself, I vastly prefer communication to be in English, but that's just me.20:59
Rocket2DMnLarstiQ, yes i ve run across a few bugs and questions in other languages, i just didnt know if there was a version of part of LP geared toward other languages, esp. one as large as the spanish speaking community20:59
LarstiQRocket2DMn: not that I've seen :)21:00
Rocket2DMnyeah neither had I LarstiQ , figured I should ask though.21:00
