spmMTecknology: go for it00:00
MTecknologyspm: thanks00:01
MTecknologyspm: last question I think..... https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-drupal-themes/ubuntu-drupal-themes/6.x bazaar is still lp:loco-drupal/6.x00:05
spmMTecknology: hmmmm. interesting. mwhudson jml ^^  - context: the project was renamed from memory - would that account for that?00:06
MTecknologyspm: I just took the branch and reassigned it to that team/project00:07
* jml needs more context00:07
jmlMTecknology: loco-drupal was renamed to ubuntu-drupal-themes, but the branch for 6.x is still showing the wrong alias -- is that right?00:08
mwhudsonspm: the branch is set for this series https://edge.launchpad.net/loco-drupal/6.x00:08
MTecknologyjml: nope - loco-drupal wasn't renamed00:08
MTecknologyjml: hrm... you could rename it to that instead?? but you'd need to drop ubuntu-drupal-themes and rename loco-drupal to ubuntu-drupal-themes00:09
jmlI cannot.00:10
jmlMTecknology: what I meant to ask is, why is it a bug for you that https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-drupal-themes/ubuntu-drupal-themes/6.x is still lp:loco-drupal/6.x00:10
MTecknologyjml: loco-drupal is a collection of themes and modules. We're trying to separate things and change the names.00:11
jmlMTecknology: so, that branch doesn't belong to loco-drupal any more?00:11
MTecknologynope00:11
MTecknologyubuntu-drupal-themes00:11
spmah. apologies. I misunderstood the problem.00:11
jmlMTecknology: ok. Are you a member of loco-drupal?00:11
MTecknologyya, I'm the highest contributer too00:12
MTecknologyI can just drop the series, can't I?00:12
jmlMTecknology: yeah, go to https://code.edge.launchpad.net/loco-drupal/6.x and drop the branch from the series.00:12
MTecknologyjml: thanks :)00:13
jmlMTecknology: np00:13
wgrantIf I have ghost revisions in a branch on LP, how do I push the real ones once I've run fetch-ghosts in a local branch?00:25
jmlwgrant: I don't know, but I *think* the answer would be the same for any Bazaar server.00:30
jmlwgrant: which is to say, ask #bzr :)00:30
wgrantjml: Oops, true, sorry.00:30
jmlwgrant: np at all.00:31
=== nhandler_ is now known as nhandler
wgrantjml: OK, now a real Launchpad question. There is no way to seal off a branch, is there? Say it's merged, and I want to make it unwritable because it's done.00:34
jmlwgrant: Launchpad doesn't provide such a thing, no.00:35
jmlwgrant: you could change the owner to ~wgrant, which would restrict the set of people who could write to it.00:35
wgrantjml: Of course, but changing its URL doesn't seem ideal.00:36
jml*nod*00:36
wgrantDoes it ever make sense to write to a Merged/Abandoned branch?00:36
jmlwgrant: yes.00:36
jmlwgrant: in the case of Merged, it makes sense if you need to add something that you forgot to add.00:36
wgrantThen it's not merged any more.00:37
jmlwgrant: e.g. my fix-bug-235711 branch might have added a typo.00:37
jmlwgrant: exactly.00:37
jmlwgrant: similarly, deciding that work should be resumed on an Abandoned branch is a perfectly cromulent use case00:38
wgrantSo codehosting server should tell you that you are wrong, and cannot write to a Merged branch.00:38
jmlwgrant: I guess you're suggesting that in those cases, someone ought to change the status on Launchpad?00:38
wgrantBecause it is clearly not Merged once you write to it.00:38
wgrantYes.00:38
jmlwgrant: I'm not sure I like that.00:38
wgrantIt should reject write requests, and tell you to change it to a status where writing to it makes sense and isn't going to result in changes getting lost.00:38
jmlI'm not sure I dislike it either.00:38
MTecknologyjml: Is it possible to drop a milestone00:39
MTecknology?00:39
jmlMTecknology: no idea.00:39
wgrantjml: What is there to dislike about it, other than the slight inconvenience?00:41
jmlwgrant: the inconvenience is my foremost concern.00:41
wgrantIMO it's less inconvenient than losing changes because somebody happens to have a checkout of a slightly-too-old branch.00:42
jmlwgrant: and the possible confusion that might arise from making status more than merely descriptive00:42
jmlwgrant: huh?00:42
wgrantTrue.00:42
jmlwgrant: so, I rarely checkout remote branches, but I'm pretty sure that bzr doesn't let you commit to one that's out of date.00:43
wgrantjml: It doesn't. But it's not out of date; it's just merged and hidden from all listings.00:43
MTecknologyspm: anyone around to approve a license?00:44
jmlwgrant: ok, now you've definitely lost me. how does allowing merged branches to be written to lead to data loss for people with checkouts of slightly-too-old branches?00:44
wgrantjml: s/slightly-too-old/very recently merged/, sorry.00:45
spmMTecknology: can you shoot an answer in? just in the middle of a fail atm00:45
MTecknologyoh, ok - thanks00:45
MTecknologyspm: Should I file question for dropping ubuntu-drupal instead of the deactivated status?01:12
spmMTecknology: please. where 'drop' == rename the deactivated one, typically.01:13
MTecknologyok01:14
MTecknologyspm: I can do that from now on :)01:14
spmMTecknology: fyi. deleteing entire has issues like (I believe) zotting any karma you've earnt from that project, hence the disable/rename - or so I understand things :-)01:14
MTecknologyoh01:14
MTecknologythe script that calculates karma doesn't go though every single thing every single time, does it?01:15
spmI think so. I have observed that karma value/scoring has been tweaked in the past to account for 'abuse' and similar.01:17
spmcertainly it eats buckets of memory on our servers when it runs ;-D01:17
MTecknologyI bet01:18
MTecknologyI'd have assumed it would be different, but the way I'm thinking would eat up more storage space, but be faster01:18
exarkunHow do you add multiple attachments to a ticket at a time?01:21
MTecknologyspm: Maybe you know this - How often does the script run that syncs @ubuntu.com aliases for ubuntu members?01:23
spmMTecknology: I don't know, sorry. You'd be better off asking in #canonical-sysadmin. but not atm. they're all pretty much afk for a few hours.01:26
MTecknologyspm: Could you please rename ubuntu-drupal for me?01:27
spmMTecknology: done01:28
MTecknologythanks :)01:28
spmnp01:35
wgrantShould the codehosting SFTP server be giving me errors with its internal filesystem paths?01:49
mwhudsonno01:49
mwhudsonbut it's a known bug01:49
mwhudsonwhich is private for some stupid reason01:50
wgrantLP likes having private bugs for even the slightest implementation detail, at times.01:51
mwhudsonwe're not exactly consistent01:53
jmlwgrant: *I* like having private bugs for implementation details.01:53
mwhudsonwgrant: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-bazaar/+bug/27007601:53
ubottuUbuntu bug 270076 in launchpad-bazaar "Translate paths back to virtual paths when handling errors in vfs transports" [Medium,Triaged]01:53
jmlwgrant: it's much easier to make a private thing public than it is to make a public thing private.01:53
wgrantjml: But it's also much more useless to have a private bug.01:55
wgrantAlthough I guess this stuff is staying private (grr), so there is more reason than for other components.01:55

AlexC_hi there,17:06
AlexC_I've been searching for ages (well over a week now) and I just can not find out how to let another person, or team, access to upload new translations - is it at all possible with Launchpad?17:07

AlexC_danilos: thank you very much =)17:16

danilosAlexC_: yeah, that would make a lot of sense, we should probably do it :)17:19
AlexC_if you do, I give cookies to all17:19
danilosAlexC_: btw, everybody should be able to upload translations, this is just for POT files17:21

marsMTecknology, not sure, I'll see if one of the codehosting guys is around19:29
MTecknologythanks19:32
MTecknologymars: is there anyone around that could drop the rename launchpad.net/ubuntu-drupal-themes to launchpad.net/ubuntu-drupal-theme? just dropping the s on the project19:33

MTecknologyOn a side note, does anyone have any idea how much hard drive space Launchpad eats up?21:08
MTecknologybetween bazaar, databases, source, etc21:09
marsMTecknology, no idea.  We are running postgres on 128GB of RAM though.21:10
mwhudsonMTecknology: "lots"21:11
mars:)21:11
mwhudsonprobably a few Tb all told21:11
MTecknologywait - what?21:11
MTecknology128GB...21:11
MTecknologyis that possible?21:12
marsSome of our devs are real Postgres fans - they've talked to the Postgres dev group about what we're doing.21:13
marsfrom what I've heard, nobody's tried it before.21:13
MTecknologyor do you mean something like 16 servers running 8GB RAM ??21:13
mwhudsonnope :)21:15
MTecknologyone server running 128GB RAM?21:15
mwhudsonyes21:15
mwhudsonthere was a cpython bug report years ago from some dude who had 300 gigs attached to his machine :)21:16
MTecknologyI didn't know that was even possible21:16
mwhudsoni guess you just need enough slots on the mobo, right?21:16
MTecknologyI meant as far as the kernel goes21:16
MTecknologyI assume that's a 64bit OS at minimum then :P21:17
marsthe kernel can address, what now? 4TB or something?21:17
marssome trivia that, as a normal user, I never expect to encounter for at least 2 years.21:18
MTecknology32bit has a max of 4GB, doesn't it?21:18
LarstiQMTecknology: "oops, we were only actually using 3 of our 128GB" ;)21:18
MTecknologyheh21:18
MTecknologyyou guys blow me away21:18
LarstiQMTecknology: yes, but it's even less that's addressable for userspace usually21:18
MTecknologyI suppose you need a lot more when you start running karma scripts and such21:19
MTecknologyso it's mostly just there for expansion then?21:20
MTecknologyI think I'd pee myself if I ever was given access to a sytem like that :P21:21
spmMTecknology: mwhudson: to be slightly pedantic. we have > 1 DB servers with 128Gb of RAM21:32

marsMTecknology, no problem - not sure if you could do so without admin rights21:46
MTecknologylooks like I can21:47
MTecknologymars: I suppose it's going to be a little bit before someone gets the ambition to hit mine? :P21:48
marsMTecknology, alas, I don't know.  It shouldn't be too long.21:50
MTecknologyspm: Do you know the answer, or where I can get the answer? My Ubuntu membership was approved on Thursday(Fri0300). I've been getting really excited for my ubuntu email addy, but I still don't have it. Do you know when that script runs?21:50
spmMTecknology: I don't know the answer myself. generally ask that sort of Q in #canonical-sysadmin. my quick googlefu suggests 2 days: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEmail so unless you have funkies that broke stuff, I'd imagine is live?22:21
wgrantMTecknology: #canonical-sysadmin is useful for that.22:22
