[01:41] <emgent> some launchpad admin here ?
[01:42] <emgent> SteveA: around ?
[01:44] <jml> emgent: what's the problem?
[01:44] <emgent> i need LP admin for edit https://launchpad.net/nubuntu
[01:45] <emgent> (we need to unblock it.. now me (and nother nubuntu devel cant edit it)
[01:45] <emgent> jml: are you able to fix it ?
[01:46] <jml> emgent: not directly, no.
[01:46] <emgent> jml: i should wait kiko ?
[01:47] <jml> emgent: probably. if you haven't already, you should ask a question on answers.lp.net/launchpad
[01:47] <emgent> will do. danke.
[01:47] <jml> emgent: mthaddon *might* be able to help you, not sure if he's still around.
[01:50] <emgent> mthaddon: ping :)
[02:20] <mthaddon> emgent: what's up?
[02:21] <emgent> mthaddon: see https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/54892
[02:22] <mthaddon> emgent: not exactly sure what you mean by "unblock it"
[02:23] <emgent> now we can edit descritipn, activate bugtracker, blueprints ecc..
[02:23] <emgent> *cant*
[02:23] <emgent> *description*
[02:23] <emgent> mthaddon: we need the possibility to manage it..
[02:24] <mthaddon> are you in the nbuntu developers team?
[02:24] <emgent> ya
[02:24] <mthaddon> hmm, that's set as the driver for it, not sure why you wouldn't be able to edit those things
[02:24] <emgent> i cant set it.
[02:25] <emgent> Not allowed here
[02:25] <emgent> Sorry, you don't have permission to access this page.
[02:25] <emgent> You are logged in as Emanuele Gentili.
[02:25] <emgent> but i'm in nubuntu developers team.
[02:26] <emgent> also
[02:26] <emgent> https://launchpad.net/nubuntu/+branding
[02:26] <emgent> is broken.
[02:26] <mthaddon> looking into it now (why you can't edit these things)
[02:27] <mthaddon> emgent: were you able to edit it before and now you can't, or have you never been able to edit it?
[02:27] <emgent> i can try to edit, but when i push confirm i see this error.
[02:28] <mthaddon> emgent: yeah, I just mean is this a new error, or it's always been like that?
[02:28] <Hobbsee> mthaddon: can you kill ~test12345 please :)
[02:28] <emgent> i have access to https://launchpad.net/nubuntu/+edit but if i click on "Change" button.. dont work.
[02:28] <emgent> mthaddon: always.
[02:29] <mthaddon> Hobbsee: that's you, I take it?
[02:29] <emgent> nubuntu Registered
[02:29] <emgent> 2008-12-03
[02:29] <Hobbsee> mthaddon: yes
[02:29] <Hobbsee> damn it, i've forgotten the password, too
[02:29] <mthaddon> Hobbsee: can't you merge it into your account?
[02:30] <Hobbsee> mthaddon: I could, but that's not what I use it for ;)
[02:30]  * Hobbsee wants to see if that bug really is fixed.
[02:30] <Hobbsee> and apart from that, i use it as a non-priveledged account
[02:30] <mthaddon> emgent: I'm afraid we may have to wait for kiko (currently on a plane to Brasil) as I'm not too familiar with the permissions on distros
[02:30] <mthaddon> Hobbsee: gotcha - disabling now
[02:31] <Hobbsee> mthaddon: cool :)
[02:31] <emgent> mthaddon: can you write a note for him about this issue ?
[02:32] <mthaddon> Hobbsee: disabled
[02:32] <Hobbsee> mthaddon: thanks :)
[02:33] <emgent> mthaddon: ?
[02:33] <mthaddon> emgent: I'm going to assign the question to him
[02:33] <mthaddon> emgent: ok, done
[02:33] <emgent> danke. :)
[02:34] <mthaddon> np
[02:35] <Hobbsee> hrm.
[02:35] <Hobbsee> well, i found another bug
[02:35] <mthaddon> ?
[02:35] <Hobbsee> but so far I haven't managed to reactivate that account
[02:36] <Hobbsee> maybe it's not a bug
[02:36] <Hobbsee> it throws up an error because the account is suspended, but still lets you fill in details and hit continue and such anyway
[02:37] <Hobbsee> then tells you that the token's already validated
[02:37] <Hobbsee> mthaddon: Well done launchpad guys :)
[02:38] <Hobbsee> it appears that there's now no way to shortcut reactivate a launchpad account :)
[02:38] <Hobbsee> well, not a suspended one, anyway
[02:39] <mthaddon> so it works, but in a very convoluted and broken way?
[02:39] <Hobbsee> no, it doesn't work
[02:40] <Hobbsee> that account's still dead as a doornail, and i can't think of another way to try to break it open again.
[02:40] <Hobbsee> mthaddon: 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)
[02:41] <mthaddon> Hobbsee: but that's what we want - when an account is suspended, we don't want it to be reactivate-able
[02:41] <Hobbsee> mthaddon: precisely.  Hence the well done :)
[02:41] <Hobbsee> "it doesn't work", ie, it can't be reactivated.
[02:41] <Hobbsee> oh, i see what you meant now.  damn negated negatives and similar.
[02:41] <mthaddon> ah, thought that was a sarcastic "well done" :)
[02:42] <Hobbsee> no, no
[02:42] <Hobbsee> if i had been going to do that, i would have used something like "you fail, try again next time"
[02:42] <Hobbsee> as well as the phrase "reactivated."
[02:42] <mthaddon> :)
[02:42] <Hobbsee> ;)
[02:44] <mthaddon> ok, I'm off to find some food - catch you later
[02:44] <Hobbsee> enjoy!
[03:31] <et3> I updated the bug report on a new package and I need someone whom evaluates packages look over it.
[03:31] <et3> it can be found here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/307928
[04:24] <Pici> et3: It would be best if you asked in #ubuntu-motu
[08:41] <pkt> Is there any way to have my program build with -rsudo instead of -rfakeroot?
[08:41] <pkt> It seems fakeroot plays a part in the crash
[08:50] <wgrant> pkt: No, your package is broken. You need to fix it.
[08:51] <pkt> understood
[09:55] <pmarti> hi there, how can I have the trac instance of my project registered with launchpad so I can integrate bug tracking? thanks
[10:24] <gmb> pmarti: You need to visit http://launchpad.net/bugs/bugtrackers/+new-bugtracker to register your bug tracker.
[10:25] <gmb> pmarti: Do you have the Launchpad API plugin for Trac installed on your project's Trac?
[10:33] <pmarti> gmb: thanks for the hint
[10:33] <pmarti> gmb: no I haven't, is it mandatory ?
[10:35] <jamesh> pmarti: the basic bug status syncing will work without the plugin, but more advanced features need it (e.g. comment syncing)
[10:36] <pmarti> jamesh: excellent, that will do till our sysadmin finds some time to install the plugin
[10:36] <pmarti> thanks for the help jamesh & gmb

[13:52] <salsaman> hi
[13:52] <salsaman> hello
[13:53] <salsaman> ping !
[13:55] <salsaman> nobody around
[13:55] <salsaman> doesnt surprise me, it seems like this launchpad is a complete con
[13:56] <salsaman> i went to register my project, and i found somebody else had already registered it
[13:56] <salsaman> so i am basically locked out of my own project there
[13:57] <salsaman> nice going guys !
[13:57] <beuno> salsaman, which project would that be?
[13:57] <salsaman> LiVES
[13:58] <beuno> salsaman, your project is a video editing system as well?
[13:59] <salsaman> as well ?
[13:59] <beuno> https://edge.launchpad.net/lives
[14:00] <beuno> is it the same project, or did someone else call their project "lives"?
[14:00] <salsaman> yep, thats the one
[14:00] <beuno> salsaman, and you own it in sourceforge as well?
[14:00] <salsaman> yep
[14:00] <salsaman> and on freshmeat
[14:01] <salsaman> i have no idea who this ntrofurano is
[14:01] <beuno> salsaman, file a question in: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad
[14:01] <salsaman> but it seems there is no way to contact him/her
[14:01] <beuno> explaining what happened
[14:01] <beuno> salsaman, https://edge.launchpad.net/~nitrofurano-3t
[14:01] <beuno> on his page
[14:01] <salsaman> right
[14:01] <beuno> you can use the "Contact this user" form
[14:01] <beuno> try talking to him to give you the project
[14:01] <salsaman> let me see
[14:02] <beuno> and, otherwise, file the question, and an admin will look into it
[14:02] <beuno> that person seems active in Launchpad, so he should get back to you
[14:02] <salsaman> where is the contact form ?
[14:02] <salsaman> i dont see it
[14:02] <beuno> some people register projects as placeholders, and give them to their owners when they show up, so don't worry too much about it
[14:02] <beuno> salsaman, you have to be logged in
[14:03] <salsaman> again ?
[14:03] <salsaman> jeez, i already logged in twice
[14:03] <beuno> salsaman, ah
[14:03] <beuno> that's my fault
[14:03] <beuno> I gave you an "edge" URL for beta testers
[14:03] <beuno> https://launchpad.net/~nitrofurano-3t
[14:03] <beuno> there
[14:04] <beuno> you shouldn't need to log in there
[14:05] <salsaman> but how can somebody do that ?
[14:05] <beuno> register a project?
[14:05] <salsaman> just register a project without contacting the project team
[14:06] <beuno> well, people work in odd ways  :)
[14:06] <salsaman> can i report this as abuse if he refuses to cooperate ?
[14:07] <beuno> salsaman, yes, we can work it out if he doesn't want to play nice
[14:07] <beuno> we just want to make sure we asked nicely first
[14:07] <beuno> assume the best from people  ;)
[14:12] <salsaman> ok, thanks for your help
[14:12] <salsaman> i have fired off an email to him asking him to either hand over the project or to work with me on promoting it
[14:13] <beuno> salsaman, cool. If it doesn't work out, just file a question in: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad
[14:13] <beuno> explaining all of this
[14:13] <beuno> and an admin will work it out
[15:55] <deryck> hi all
[16:44] <lool> Hi folks, I hope it's ok to ask question about launchpadlib here
[16:45] <lool> I wonder how to map a publishing history object to the librarian objects (.dsc .orig.tar.gz etc.); I'd like to list all .dsc ever pushed to a ppa to import them in a vcs
[16:45] <lool> So far I only get information about the status, source package name and version, removal comment, but not the actual URLs to librarian objects as I see them on the web page
[17:02] <rockstar> lool, hi
[17:11] <lool> rockstar: Hi
[17:17] <rockstar> lool, I'm looking into your question now.
[17:17] <lool> Oh thanks
[17:21]  * lool needs to disapear for an hour or so
[17:56] <thekorn> lool, I might be wrong, but I think there is no API method to get the url of an dsc file
[17:56] <thekorn> but I think it should be possible to create the url out of source_package_name, source_package_version and maybe archive.owner
[18:12] <thekorn> lool, maybe something like to http://paste.ubuntu.com/88662/
[18:24] <lool> thekorn: Excellent thanks; didn't know about that /+files way to access superseded packages
[18:25] <lool> thekorn: Hmm no, I get 404 on the old .dscs
[18:29] <thekorn> lool, hmm, ok, it worked on the few archives I checked, maybe I just got lucky
[18:32] <lool> thekorn: aargh no, stupid copy paste error
[18:32] <lool> works fine
[18:32] <thekorn> super
[18:33] <lool> thanks a lot
[18:33] <lool> I wonder how dups are managed
[18:39] <cprov> lool: the PPA/+files namespace redirects to librarian
[18:39] <cprov> lool: dups will redirect to the same librarian file
[18:40] <cprov> lool: but soon the files themselves will be available via the API
[18:40]  * cprov goes back to bed ...
[19:22] <Rinchen> rockstar, I see you are chr for today. I need help. My Launchpad t-shirt hasn't arrived yet. :-D
[19:33] <mtaylor> hey guys - any "good" way for me to remove borked pushes?

[19:44] <MagicFab> Hi guys
[19:46] <MagicFab> I have a case of extreme abuse of Launchpad - specifically commenting bugs, setting them to FIX RELEASED and opening multiple accounts to ask questiosn and answer them, then mark tehem as answered, to get more karma.
[19:46] <MagicFab> Who should I report this to ?
[19:47] <MagicFab> cody-somerville, jcastro ^ ?
[19:48] <cody-somerville> MagicFab, whats the account name?
[19:48] <cody-somerville> Rinchen, ^^
[19:49] <MagicFab> https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/~sebastiancobaleda
[19:49] <MagicFab> this one is getting all the karma
[19:49] <Rinchen> rockstar, ^^
[19:49] <Rinchen> gmb, ^^
[19:49]  * Rinchen is on the phone but will be back shorlty
[19:49] <MagicFab> and if you look at all the answers, they are from most probably dummy accounts opened to build karma against this single account.
[19:50] <MagicFab> no hurries, but this is a somewhat motivated person with dubious intentions.
[19:50] <cody-somerville> MagicFab, can you give an example of a bogus account?
[19:51] <cody-somerville> and a few examples of bogus questions

[20:03] <LarstiQ> MagicFab: got some examples of that?
[20:10] <sirderigo> hi everybody
[20:16] <sirderigo-epg> LarstiQ, i dont wanna to be a "man in the middle" :D but, he only have 2 monts being a member of launchpad, and have a lot of karma, and, this is very hard to do, who here get 2645 in two monts?

[20:24] <MagicFab> and so on
[20:24] <MagicFab> LarstiQ, ^
[20:25] <LarstiQ> MagicFab: I see
[20:26] <MagicFab> Normally I wouldnn't care but he tried joining a support team
[20:27] <MagicFab> and when I found about the random bug triaging... I know that sucks up a lot of time from people thinking this is legit
[20:30] <cr3> if 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?
[20:31] <LarstiQ> cr3: did the rewrite invalidate all bugs/history/other resources?
[20:32] <LarstiQ> I'm guessing no since you ask about migrating bugs
[20:32] <cr3> LarstiQ: after looking at them, it seems so, yes
[20:32] <LarstiQ> ah :)
[20:33] <cr3> LarstiQ: 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 bugs
[20:50] <Rocket2DMn> hey quick question guys, do we support bugs filed in languages other than english?
[20:50] <cody-somerville> who is "we"?
[20:50] <Rocket2DMn> well, anybody who wants to deal with the bugs - triagers, developers, etc
[20:51] <Rocket2DMn> is it ok for people to submit reports in say, spanish?
[20:51] <LarstiQ> Rocket2DMn: that is up to the project the bugs are filed on I think.
[20:51] <Rocket2DMn> a forum user is asking if s/he can translate my guide to filing bugs into spanish for the LoCos
[20:52] <LarstiQ> ah, Ubuntu
[20:52] <Rocket2DMn> yeah, Ubuntu
[20:52]  * LarstiQ moves to the sidelines
[20:53] <Rocket2DMn> i 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 areas
[20:53] <Rocket2DMn> I'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 needed
[20:54] <rockstar> Rocket2DMn, well, you severely limit those who can understand your bugs if you only use spanish.
[20:55] <Rocket2DMn> rockstar, 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 language
[20:56] <Rocket2DMn> I 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 subject
[20:56] <rockstar> Rocket2DMn, shoot, the more people that know how to file bugs, the more get reported and (hopefully) the more get fixed.
[20:56] <rockstar> Rocket2DMn, but, I would say the question is probably better asked in #ubuntu-bugs
[20:56] <LarstiQ> Rocket2DMn: it sounds like this is more a question for the Ubuntu community?
[20:57] <Rocket2DMn> +1 i agree, but i also don't want to waste people's time if those bugs won't get triaged/fixed
[20:57] <Rocket2DMn> rockstar, im in that channel by default, i'll throw the question around in there as well
[20:58] <Rocket2DMn> LarstiQ, 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] <LarstiQ> Rocket2DMn: 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.
[20:59] <LarstiQ> as a non-native (Dutch) myself, I vastly prefer communication to be in English, but that's just me.
[20:59] <Rocket2DMn> LarstiQ, 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 community
[21:00] <LarstiQ> Rocket2DMn: not that I've seen :)
[21:00] <Rocket2DMn> yeah neither had I LarstiQ , figured I should ask though.
[21:00]  * LarstiQ nods
[21:00] <Rocket2DMn> Thank you for your input guys
[22:05] <mtaylor> is there a way to revoke a merge proposal?
[22:06] <rockstar> mtaylor, set the status to "Rejected"
[22:07] <mtaylor> rockstar: I don't seem to have permission to do that...
[22:07] <mtaylor> rockstar: I made the request, but I have no permissions on the target branch or project
[22:08] <rockstar> mtaylor, hm, then I guess there is no way.  You could request that the owner set the branch to Rejected.
[22:08] <mtaylor> rockstar: ok. thanks

[22:44] <elmo> and he's not around, he's on leave
[22:44] <Rinchen> yeah
[22:44] <Rinchen> it might just be the name on the builder
[22:44] <Rinchen> I was going to cancel the build job
[22:44] <Rinchen> I pinged him the details
[22:45] <Rinchen> ah well
[22:45] <Rinchen> in fact it is
[22:45] <Rinchen> it's for someone else
[22:47] <Rinchen> lol
[22:47] <Rinchen> oh yeah, I forgot we didn't implement the cancel button yet
[22:48] <Rinchen> I think it's safe to say I need a vacation
[22:48] <Rinchen> mthaddon, I don't know of any way to cancel those without shutting the builder down
[22:48] <Rinchen> mthaddon, one has been building for 3 days, the other 4
[23:28] <elmo> hassium is back
[23:29] <elmo> lychee should be coming ack shortly

[23:42] <fta> elmo, thanks!
[23:57] <MTecknology> How do I drop a member from my team?
[23:58] <MTecknology> Or will they always be listed under the deactivated section?
[23:58] <wgrant> I believe they will always be.
[23:58] <wgrant> This is very strange.
