Ursinhapersia, I use firefox's one17:21
ftapersia, browsers already have that, it's not a problem. i'm worried about missing words, or bad terminations or wrong words because something in my brain switched while i was typing, etc.17:22
persiaHrm.  Probably needs a contexually-sensitive grammar checker in the browser then (yes, this is possible, just annoyingly difficult, and currently restricted IP held by InSo).  Still doesn't help with wrong words or extra appearances of "not" (my personal annoying mistake)17:27
ftathat's why an "edit-my-own-comment" feature would help. the ubuntu forums have that17:31

mtaylorso - in general I love everyone's work, and I know it's always the middle of someone's day - but shutting down launchpad in the middle of the work day for an hour sure is annoying22:25
mtaylorand sure does make it harder for me to convince people that it's ok for us to place more dev process on and around launchpad22:26

mtaylorit's not the length of time, really22:27
henninge"code updates were"22:27
mtaylorit's that taking websites down is sort of fail22:27

LaserJockis there *any* possible way to do some sort of redirect notification when PPA URLs change?22:32
mtaylorthe PPA url's changed?22:32
LaserJockthey will soonish22:32
mtayloroh. great22:32
* mtaylor should read his email more often22:32
LaserJock"you should let your PPA's users know about the archive address change as soon as possible" how are we supposed to do that exactly when we have no idea who our users are?22:33
mtaylorLaserJock: telepathy. that's what telepathy is for22:34
LaserJockI guess22:34

cody-somervilleLaunchpad is back!! :D22:36
spivLaserJock: replace all your packages with packages that do "echo The PPA url changed"? ;)22:36
flavourSo when do we see the 'new features' announce? :)22:36
LaserJockspiv: I'm not sure that'd work, it'd probably need to be a zenity scrip, I don't have an CLI packages22:37
LaserJock:-)22:37
spiv:)22:37
LaserJockbut seriously, while I certainly don't have a popular PPA by any means, my PPA is essentially going to break for all my existing users :(22:38
thumpermtaylor: gee, telepathy isn't in pat, it is in python "import telepathy"22:42
thumpers/pat/apt/22:42
* mtaylor knew my brain ran python...22:42
jcfphow long is that period gonna last where both the old and new ppa url will work?22:42
LaserJocknot sure, but is that going to matter much?22:43
LaserJockI mean, if the user doesn't know it changed all it does is push out "breakage" to a later date22:43
jcfpwell, on release updates all non-official repo are disabled iirc, so that would "help"22:44
LaserJockwe need like a LP->libnotify systems, "Hello, this is your friendly PPA maintainer. We are changing URLs soon so please visit the PPA page and update your systems information."22:44
LaserJock:-)22:44
jcfpmaybe I'll just push a fake update, making it display some nice message in the tray22:45
jcfpjust like the "you need to restart" messages22:45
LaserJockthat's pretty nasty, but I guess it'd maybe work22:46

jcfpwhat else? I really dont want every user complaining in my mailbox22:47
jcfpor even 1 in 10 for that matter22:47
LaserJockyeah, I don't know22:47
jcfpor even better, auto update sources.list from an install script :p22:50
LaserJockwell, that might kinda work but you'd have to take into account /etc/apt/sources.list.d/22:50
jcfpI posted newbie-proof instruction, 99.9% will have used these and put it in the list file22:51
jcfpalthough I don't really like messing with people's systems this way22:52
LaserJockyeah, for sure22:52
LaserJockespecially if it's not really expected22:52
LaserJock"Hello World ... and I'll just take care of that sources.list for you" ;-)22:53
jcfpI'd sure need to be real sober when writing that script :|22:54
spivJust remove all other sources... your packages are the only packages your users will ever need, right? ;)22:54
LaserJockyou'd want to back up the sources.list for sure22:54
LaserJockheh22:54

sabdflLaserJock: AIUI there's a period of redirection23:28
sabdflor a period where the old URL will work23:28
LaserJockright, the email says the old URL will work23:29
LaserJockbut that is no help to migrate users23:29
sabdflfor a month or three23:29
LaserJockI mean, for sure I'm grateful for the idea of having multiple PPAs23:29
sabdflhmm... you might want to ask mvo if he would do that in the upgrade script23:29
sabdfli.e. spot all the old-style sources, and migrate them23:29
LaserJockbut it's nice to get features without breaking existing, working things23:30
sabdflLaserJock: it was an accident that the first url scheme didn't allow it, it was considered but slipped by23:30
LaserJockespecially since we have no form of communication with PPA users other than very non-standard behavior :-)23:30
LaserJockright, I assumed as much from discussions I remember from the beginnings of PPA23:30
LaserJockI'm trying to encourage LP devs/designers to perhaps take a closer look at the implications of their changes :-)23:31
LaserJockbetween the PPA signing and now breaking URLs it's a bit unfriendly23:32

cprovLaserJock: the emails says that files superseded today will be removed in 30 days23:52
LaserJockcprov: exactly, so the process is in effect *right now*23:53
maxbHmm, I did copy some packages between series a while back. I can't remember if I did it via edge or not - might that explain it?23:53
cprovLaserJock: the policy in effect, not necessarily the process ;)23:53
LaserJockthe policy is a process though23:54
cprovmaxb: the last change in your PPA is from 21th this month, is you index older than that ?23:57
