DavieyIs there a delay with "Packages" being updated?00:41
Davieya file seems to be in my ppa repo, but not in the Packages index00:41
Daviey:S00:41

wgrantIt's not entirely atomic, and you caught it a minute after the update started.00:42

wgrantThe Packages files should be updated last so the archive is always consistent.00:42

troglonwhats the etiquette for changing bug status? what is the difference between new and confirmed?02:46
thumpernew often means that no one has looked at it02:48
thumperconfirmed means normally that someone has confirmed it is a bug and not pebkac02:48
thumpertroglon: etiquette often changes from project to project02:49
troglonwho should/can officially "confirm" it? in otherwords, a bug has been confirmed by multiple replies and can be seen in other subprojects, but for some reason has not had its status changed...02:50
troglonthumper: yeah, ok02:50
thumperI'm not sure on the rules for who can confirm02:51
thumpertry it02:51
thumperand hope that you don't need your flameproof pants02:51
troglonwill the "Comment on this change" show up as a reply? Or just in the logs?02:51
thumperit'll show up as a comment02:51
troglonthanks02:51
troglonheh so what is the etiquette for changing the title, making it clearer/more like similar bugs?02:53
troglon(they really should have a faq on this)02:53
troglonim in the ubunu project, btw02:54
thumperthey might have a faq on this02:54
thumperI'm not sure02:54
thumperI think the general etiquette is "If it makes it clearer, it is a good thing"02:54
trogloni have check and checked and havnt seen a peep on this kinda stuff02:54
trogloni guess i just make a educated decision and wait and see if its acceptable... ;)02:55
thumpergood luck02:56
troglonthanks again02:57

spmZehRique: I believe the ubuntu wiki now use launchpad's openid. So - can you login to your LP acount?05:01
ZehRiquespm: no. I have an account at main Ubuntu's wiki, but the 'problematic' account is hosted at wiki.ubuntu-br.org, which dont' make use of OpenID. :(05:02
spmZehRique: Ah. hence why you ping Ursinha. Sorry - can't help either :-)05:03
wgrantAh, I see, that makes more sense.05:04
ZehRiquespm: Yeah! :)05:04
ZehRiquespm: the wiki software is telling me that my account belongs to any other person now.05:04

dragojevicWe have made a huge amount of changes to our ui much of which requires translations to be updated.  Is there any way I could get an email list - or a group of names of people who had previously done Miro translations and ask if they could help us get the translations updated for the 2.0 release?08:39

rippsOkay, this might sound kinda noobish, but how do we import the keys into apt once their generated14:55
kikobigjools, might be worth doing a cleanup script at some point14:58
matsubararipps, apt-key add <filename>14:58
rippsmatsubara: can filename be substituted for a url?14:59
kikoripps, no, so you need to download with gpg14:59

kikobigjools, how is the generation coming along?15:00

rippsMan, that's lame15:06
maxb| egrep -v '^<' | apt-key add -15:06
maxbI imagine the more pgp-aware people will start creating *-keyring packages in their PPA, like the official dist has15:07

maxbripps: even once they have keys, they don't actually get signed until the owner uploads a new package....15:21
maxbYou might as well just wait and add keys the next time you are prompted about unauthenticated packages15:22
rippsI've got nothing else to do right now, so I'm wasting time.15:22
rippsDo they literally have someone creating entropy for the key generation?15:27
maxbThat sounds rather implausible :-)15:28

* ripps pictures a team of people swiveling mice15:30
rockstarripps, entropy can be generated from all sorts of places, including network traffic.15:30
bigjoolsit's doing it very slowly for now15:30
bigjoolsrockstar: apparently not network traffic15:30
rockstarbigjools, the kernel supports it.  I was reading about it the other day.15:30
bigjoolsit would be a bad thing to do, network traffic can be manipulated15:31
rockstarI was thinking about generating entropy using a Wii Balance Board.15:31
bigjoolslol15:31
bigjoolsthe way I play, that would indeed be random15:31
rockstarbigjools, many methods of generating entropy can be manipulated.15:31
rippsI want to find some way to create entropy by measure something from my armpits. galvonic response maybe15:32
bigjoolsto varying degrees15:32
rockstarAlthough the best solution might be `rm /dev/random; ln -s /dev/urandom /dev/random`15:32
rockstar:)15:32
rippsHow do we make our own *-keyring packages?15:40
rockstarripps, I think that question might be better answered in channel about packaging.15:42
=== kiko-fud is now known as kiko-phone
cody-somervillerockstar, ^^16:27
rockstarOkay, so I see three branches here in your project.16:27
=== salgado-lunch is now known as salgado
rockstarEach of them is a series branch, and owned by a team (which is generally a good practice).16:27
rockstarcody-somerville, tell me about your workflow.16:28
cody-somervillerockstar, Well, we mostly commit to -stable as we fix bugs16:29
cody-somerville-legacy is old stuff and we maintain it as needed16:29
cody-somervilleI have a branch on my computer and I commit to it when I make a change and then attempt to push16:29
cody-somervilleI merge if need be and then commit and then push16:29
rockstarSo your developers check out the branch, hack on it, and commit a single revision at a time, directly back to that branch?16:30
cody-somervilleNo, we branch16:30
rockstarEr, that's what I meant.  Check out meaning "check it out dude!"  :)16:30
rockstar(Examine)16:30
rockstarOkay, what I would suggest is that when you hack on a branch, you do one of two things.  Either make a checkout on the branch, or create separate branches, hack on them, and merge those branches into your mainline when you're done with the feature.16:33
rockstarcody-somerville, I don't particularly use heavyweight checkouts.  I think the latter is better.  You WANT the D part of a DVCS16:35
cody-somervillerockstar, Is there any option on the branch to help prevent people from accidentally removing revisions via merges?16:36
rockstarcody-somerville, not sure.  In fact, I think there's a bzr bug there.16:37
rockstarcody-somerville, There should at least be a warning that it's going to remove revisions.16:38
kiko-phoneremove revisions?16:41
kiko-phoneit shouldn't unless you --overwrite16:42
rockstarkiko-phone, yea, I suspect there's a path they are following which is removing the revisions, and so there's an issue there.16:45
cody-somervillekiko-phone, if you merge it'll allow you16:46
rockstarcody-somerville, how are you merging?16:47
cody-somervillerockstar, bzr merge16:47
rockstarcody-somerville, so it's "bzr push, oops, out of date.  bzr merge, bzr commit, bzr push." ?16:49
cody-somervilleyup16:49
* rockstar hms16:50
rockstarcody-somerville, I'd suggest creating personal branches, and merging those personal branches into the main branch.16:54
cody-somervilleso we should branch twice?16:54
rockstarcody-somerville, well, you maintain a mirror of the main branch.  Branch from that (so you can branch when you're on a plane), hacka hacka, and then merge back into trunk (after you're sure it's updated)16:55
cody-somervilleHow odd16:56
* andrea-bs uses rockstar's proposed workflow and thinks it's not just very useful, but also helps keeping the code clean16:58
rockstarcody-somerville, well, it sounds like you want to make a DVCS a PVCS.  In that case, use checkouts.16:59
rockstarcody-somerville, the projects I work on happen at a higher velocity than it sounds like yours do, and so my originally suggested workflow is the ONLY workflow.17:00
* LarstiQ didn't check closely17:04
LarstiQbut it looks like cody-somerville is talking about revision reordering17:04
LarstiQwhere the _revnos_ change, but no revision get lost17:04
* cody-somerville nod nods.17:04
LarstiQcody-somerville: in which case, you could use the append_history_only setting to disallow that17:05
cody-somervilleHow do I do that?17:05
LarstiQcody-somerville: which will force you to work in the way rockstar recommend, _or_ by using checkouts17:05
cody-somervilleand will that setting get pushed to launchpad?17:05
rockstarcody-somerville, no.17:06
rockstarSo everyone on your team would have to do that.17:06
rockstarLarstiQ, ah, I was swapping revno and revid in my head.17:06
cody-somerville:/17:07
rockstarcody-somerville, your current workflow is not ideal.17:08
