mtxcollhello?00:58
spivmtxcoll: there are a few LP people around.  What's up?00:59
mtxcollhi, i inadvertently posted a response to a bug with my signature, which has my address and phone #00:59
mtxcollis it possible to delete that from the bug being tracked?00:59
spivspm: ^ one for you, I think00:59
mtxcolli'm hoping i can get rid of it before google indexes in cache01:00

RAOFOk.  What the hell is happening here: https://edge.launchpad.net/~do-testers/+archive/+build/83367801:37
RAOFgnome-do 0.7.95.1-0~stuff has had a number of hours to be published in that archive; why can't the builder find it?01:38
Hobbseesarah@neptune:~% dpkg --compare-versions 0.7.95.1-0~intrepid~ppa lt 0.7.95.1 && echo true01:45
Hobbseetrue01:45
HobbseeRAOF: because you failed at versioning, unfortunately ;)01:46
RAOF!01:46
Hobbseeyou're requiring gnome-do (>= 0.7.95.1), but are giving a lower version number.01:46
RAOFRight.  I'm just intrigued as to how 0.7.95.1-0 can be lower than 0.7.95.101:47
Hobbseeit's not01:47
Hobbseesarah@neptune:~% dpkg --compare-versions 0.7.95.1-0 eq 0.7.95.1 && echo true01:47
Hobbseetrue01:47
Hobbseebut ~ is regarded as lower01:47
RAOFWell, that's a trap I've not run into before :)01:47
Hobbseereally?  surprising01:47
* Hobbsee has no idea why you're using -0, but shrug01:48
* Hobbsee would have expected you to run into ~ versioning before01:48
RAOFOh, I use it all the time.01:48
RAOFThis is the first time that foo-0~ < foo has hit me.01:49
Hobbsee(the -0 isn't a problem in itself)01:49
Hobbseefoo == foo-0 ;)01:49
Hobbseeat least, according to dpkg01:49
Hobbseebut fair enough01:49
RAOFActually, why does dpkg special-case -0?01:50
Hobbseeit does?01:50
RAOFfoo < foo-1, but foo == foo-001:51
Hobbseei'm not sure.  I presume it's because of the logic that 1.0 = 1.00000000 in maths, and so they decided to keep it01:51

Kalidarnanyone around that could wipe my launchpad repository, im having trouble uploading because i think i mucked up the version11:05
Kalidarnand the logging thing doesn't let me upload anything now, i used 0ubuntu1 instead of 0ppa111:06
Kalidarndeleting the package hasn't let me upload the package (with same name and version using 0ppa1)11:06
henningebigjools: ^ is that something in your area of knowledge and power? ;-)11:07
Kalidarnyeah i needed someone who is a launcpad admin to clear it for me :)11:08

Kalidarnyeah i know unless the log is cleared.11:13
* Hobbsee notes that should be added to the FAQ or something.11:13
Hobbseei don't think they'll do that.11:13
Kalidarnwhich it isn't ideal to use the same version number scheme because of this particular conflict11:14
Hobbseeyou'll need to use another version.11:14

Kalidarn(thats what other users in ubuntu-motu) suggested i do11:14
wgrantbigjools: 30 days doesn't seem very long...11:32

KalidarnSigner has no upload rights at all to this distribution.11:39
KalidarnNot permitted to upload to the RELEASE pocket in a series in the 'CURRENT' state.11:39
Kalidarni guess thats because of the version.. hmm11:40
wgrantNo, that's because you're trying to upload to Ubuntu.11:40
Hobbseeno, that would be because you're not uploading to a ppa...11:40
Kalidarnoh ;)11:40
Kalidarnoops11:40
wgrantOne would generally only not get an email if the package wasn't properly signed.11:41
Kalidarnhmm i read https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Uploading11:41

Kalidarnoh yay it worked that time accepted11:51
Kalidarnthe other day i wasn't getting any email11:51
Kalidarnof it being rejected or accepted11:51
wgrantYou probably forgot to sign the package.11:52
Hobbseebigjools: the documentation makes it seem like the easiest way to fix a bad source is by uploading a higher version number, but that if one waits long enough (ie, until the deletion goes through), it will be possible to use the same version number again.  Is it possible to get this clarified in the documentation?11:52
Kalidarnwgrant, i did sign it11:52
Kalidarnwhen i built the source11:52
Kalidarngpg: Signature made Mon 12 Jan 2009 22:03:10 CST using DSA key ID F2FE93F811:53

Hobbseewhere did you upload it to?11:53
Hobbsee(not debian, one hopes?)11:54
Kalidarnmy own ppa seems to be working now11:54
Kalidarnim not sure about the other day i remember i had done everything correctly because i'd only just read the faq11:54
Kalidarn(and i hadn't just gotten out of bed)11:54
Kalidarnand it was being funny it sent me the accepted email, but thats when i decided the version number was wrong, and then i couldn't do anything about it11:55
Kalidarnsomeone was saying 0ppa1 comes before 0ubuntu1 in order of precedence or something11:55
Kalidarni forget it was almost a month ago11:55
Kalidarnand that i'd have to consider doing package-x.x.x+cleaned-0ppa1 until jaunty came out or a new version of the package11:56
Kalidarni didn't want to do that at all :P11:56
wgrantThat is how archives work.11:56
maxbEven if you *could* reset the PPA, you'd be preventing sane upgrades from working for anyone using those packages, if you decreased the version11:57
wgrantDecreasing the version does not make sense.11:57
Kalidarnyeah well i hadn't uploaded anything else11:57
Kalidarnso i was prepared to start from scratch and learn from my nubby mistake11:58
Kalidarnit was because i was following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete and it didn't really mention about using 0ppa1 instead of 0ubuntu111:58
Kalidarnbecause that article doesn't really have any entry there as to if your uploading to a ppa archive11:58
wgrantIt isn't a PPA packaging guide.11:59
Kalidarnwell yeah i kind of worked that out :P11:59
bigjoolsHobbsee: yes we can clear that up, thanks for the suggestion11:59
Hobbseebigjools: cool.12:00
Kalidarnbut now i know how things work it shouldn't be a problem :P12:00
maxbKalidarn: You know the official recommendation is ~ppa, not ppa ?12:08

maxbGranted it doesn't actually make a difference in the -0 case12:09

persiamaxb, Just a note on versioning: the official recommendation probably would benefit from changing.  -0~ppa1 < nothing at all, which is extra confusing.13:08
maxbpersia: odd, yes, but not likely to occur in real life, as that would imply a patched package turning into a native package?13:29
persiaActually, there was a case reported only several hours ago, of someone trying to do a base (for upstream) followed by a -0~intrepid for intrepid, which failed.13:30
maxbThe bigger problem with the versioning recommendation as I see it is that if you do what it says and go from 1.0-1 to 1.0-2~ppa1, and then ubuntu releases a 1.0-1ubuntu1, the ppa one is still newer13:31
maxbWhy would a base for upstream be in a deb repository?13:31
persiaBecause upstream uses launchpad, and wanted to give users a snapshot.13:32
persiaAnd yes, using 1.0-1ppa1 would solve that as well.  Abusing ~ isn't always best.13:32
maxbSo, what was upstream's repo?  a PPA?13:33
persiaYep.13:33
maxbbut... if the upstream's PPA was building for jaunty, the ~intrepid would have been ok? And if the upstream's PPA was building for intrepid, the ~intrepid wouldn't have been needed at all?13:34
persiaUpstream wanted to build for several Ubuntu releases, and started with jaunty, and then started backporting.13:39
maxbI don't understand why -0~intrepid would have failed13:40
persiaIt's less than nothing at all.  1.0-0 == 1.013:41
persiaSo 1.0-0~ppa1 < 1.013:41
maxbBut why does that matter? Isn't it normal and correct for a backport to be less than what it was backported from?13:41
persiaYes, except PPAs don't work that way.13:41
maxbeww13:41
maxbWell something odd is going on. The last paragraph of https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Versioning recommends that backporting be done this way13:43
persiaYes, but it presumes you're backporting from something other than your PPA.13:44
maxbI read it as telling you that you can upload foo~intrepid1 and foo~hardy1 to the same ppa13:45
persiaYou can, as long as you do it in the opposite order.13:45
maxbpersia: I just got an accepted mail from my PPA for a backport intrepid->hardy, by appending ~hardy1 :-)13:52
persiaFor something you already had in your PPA as ~intrepid1 ?13:53
maxbfor something already there with no suffix13:54

maxbhenninge: When you get back from lunch could you investigate? ^^^^13:57
persiamaxb, Interesting.  That's counter to the behaviour described as problematic earlier.13:58
persiaI still think the current documentation encourages pointless abuse of ~, but at least it's not specifically confusing13:59
maxbI agree, I can't see any circumstance in which -XppaY or -XubuntuYppaZ wouldn't be reasonable14:00
maxbExcept for trying to be earlier than official backports, but ~ppa doesn't achieve that until we reach Ominous Ostrich, or whatever :-)14:01
persiawhereas the 1.0-2~ppa1 vs. 1.0-1ubuntu1 case you described earlier is easily understood.14:01
persiaWell, I'd make the argument that PPA users would want to supercede the official backports, as I'd hope most PPAs are feature or bugfix solutions, rather than just backports.14:02
maxbtrue14:02
persiaIf it's just a backport, seems easy enough to file a backports bug, get a buddy to ack it, and wait a week.14:02

abentleysinzui: why does _preferredemail_cached need to be cleared?18:47
sinzuiabentley: You may have meant to ask the question in launchpad-reviews. Regardless, the answer is that that the object is in memory and in storms cache and the wrong answer will come out in methods that use that. Many do. Anytime we change the primary address, we manually clear the cache for the next step in the task to get a sane answer.18:51
sinzuiabentley: setPreferredEmail() is a common way this is done. In the case of SUSPENDED users, they are updated directly, so the cleared the cache manually in the test.18:52
