galathilI was trying to register a project but I got the "Please try again" page. Overall the site has been very slow today.01:42
cesarbIt is broken because it is slashdotted: http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=09/01/17/212725401:46
KragenSitakeroh, thanks, cesarb01:48
KragenSitakerso it should spontaneously work again in a couple of hours01:48

zirodayHi, I live in Singapore and me and some other users who are trying to bzr pull keep getting 104 errors. Any ideas why?11:44
zirodayCurrently I have to pull from my VPS and then rsync the files over. Very irritating.11:44
petskiziroday: launchpad's PPA is "down" as well, maybe there's a relation11:59
zirodaypetski: well this has been like for a while now. ~ 2 months11:59
petskiany clues when you add --verbose?12:01
zirodaypetski: sure, gimme a sec12:02
kiko-afkla la la12:05
kiko-afkpetski, it /was/ down last night -- is it still up?12:05

kiko-afkpetski, interesting, let me make a phone call then.12:05
petskithanks kiko12:06
kiko-afkziroday, is there a bug filed on this one? it is most likely to be something being filtered on your end12:06
zirodaykiko-afk: probably, we have some nasty government filters here and such12:06
zirodaykiko-afk: petski: just waiting for it to fail so I can pastebin the whole lot to  you12:07
kiko-afkziroday, so bzr (if using bzr+ssh) uses ssh to pull and push. do you know, is ssh okay for you?12:08
kiko-afkpetski, woke cprov up :-/ he's a bit miffed that we don't know why this is happening but he will look in a little bit12:09
zirodaykiko-afk: err I'm just using normal bzr as far as I can tell12:09
kiko-afkpetski, since when has it been broken to your knowledge?12:09
kiko-afkziroday, sure but exactly how are you pushing or pulling?12:09
zirodaykiko-afk: by doing $ bzr branch lp:do12:09

kiko-afkpetski, ^^^12:23
kiko-afkziroday, okay, it's interesting. it sounds like the problem is actually the connection dropping mid-stream -- meaning it /could/ succeed12:24
petskiziroday: same command doesn't give any issues here. I think the next step would be to run a sniffer meanwhile, to track down the issue12:24
kiko-afkpetski, I think it's just flakiness12:24
zirodaykiko-afk: well of course its running just perfectly now :)12:24
kiko-afkunless we can establish it's always at the exact same spot12:24

vadi2Can loggerhead show me a diff between multiple revisions? Atm I only see how to see a diff of the previous revision only17:06
kfogelProcess question: there are two terms floating around: "merge proposal cover letter" and "PQM commit message".  The first is for when sending a set of commits (created in bzr, sent together as a bundle, you want to give the bundle a cover letter).  The second is for someone to make release notes from the change as recorded in PQM.  (See https://dev.launchpad.net/CoverLetters and https://dev.launchpad.net/PQMCommitMessages).  My quest17:19
kfogelion is: aren't these the same thing?  If they're not, what is the difference?17:19

spitfire_how?17:30
james_wkfogel: they are separate as there is no automatic mechanism to transform one in to the other. They will have slightly different audiences too. Seeding the PQM commit message from the cover letter might be a good idea though.17:31

thumperdjsiegel1: it depends21:41
thumperdjsiegel1: if your revision author property had an email address in it21:41
thumperdjsiegel1: then if you let Launchpad know that the email is linked to you, then the revisions get linked to you21:42

thumperdjsiegel1: in that case, no, sorry21:42
djsiegel1Why is my SSH key not sufficient to establish my identity?21:43

lpd79Hi. I am trying to customize / backport a kernel (linux_2.6.27-9.19.dsc)22:24
lpd79My goal is to update some ALSA stuff, upload the modified source to my PPA, and have the PPA compile the kernel image (ideally, a single configuration instead of generic/server/virtual)22:25
lpd79What is the best way to go about this? Any pointers? There are many tutorials on using make-kpkg, but none on modifying a linux-* source package22:25
lpd79Of course I want the new kernel and modules not to conflict with the initial package22:26
kiko-afklpd79, so...22:29
wgrantjohanbr: Because the binaries are in NEW, they don't have a Launchpad page yet. The bug was fixed yesterday; if you look on edge (https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/2.25.4-1ubuntu1/+build/841142) you'll see they're no longer linked.22:30
kiko-afklpd79, easiest way to do it is to grab the standard kernel source22:31
kiko-afklpd79, modify it, modify the changes and then upload it to your ppa22:31
wgrantkiko-afk: Ehehe, it's a bit more special than that.22:32
wgrantThe ABI checking breaks everything, and it takes approximately far too long to build all of the flavours. There is a special PPA mode you can set.22:32
kiko-afkwgrant, really?22:32
wgranthttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile22:33
wgrantYes. It's really broken.22:33
kiko-afkwgrant, what PPA mode?22:33
wgrantAUTOBUILD, sorry.22:33
wgrantThat does something magical with the ABI suffix.22:34
wgrantAnd makes builds not fail.22:34
lpd79AUTOBUILD=1 NOEXTRAS=1 fakeroot debian/rules binary-FLAVOUR ?22:35
lpd79But this seems to create binary packages -- I want to create a *_source.changes that I can upload to my PPA?22:35
wgrantYou have to build the source and get the build to set those flags. Somebody must have done it before; Google around or check other PPAs.22:36
wgrant(debuild -S will build the source for you)22:36
johanbrwgrant: I see. Thank you.22:36
lpd79Thanks, of course debuild should do the trick (duh moment...). I've Googled quite a bit, but there isn't much about creating custom kernel source packages22:40
lpd79The tricky part is modifying the kernel package name (so it doesn't look like an upgrade to dpkg) and the vmlinuz-* name (so I don't override other modules and images)22:41
lpd79This stuff seems to be spread in many places in the debian/ directory22:42
