ubottuLaunchpad bug 338034 in launchpad "Problem with PPA authentication" [Undecided,New]00:29
wgrantWhy do bugs with linked branches in listings have an icon with title="Branch exists"? That's pretty useless - I want it to say something like "<Y> lp:~path/to/branch".00:35
wgrantThat way I can see at a glance some actual useful information and go to the relevant branches.00:35
pooliewgrant, sounds like a bug to me00:44
intellectronicawgrant: please file a bug, that's a very good idea00:48
wgrantpoolie, intellectronica: I actually had a similar suggestion about the blueprint icon get rejected, but maybe it's worth another try.00:58
poolieoh really, for what reason?00:58
pooliebranches are being much more actively developed than blueprints00:59
wgrantpoolie: Because there could be multiple linked, or something like that.01:01
wgrantIt was rejected for more than just Blueprint being abandoned for >4 years.01:01
poolieoh i see01:01
pooliePedantical, fuck yeah01:01
intellectronicawgrant: that's the pretty much the same for bugs and blueprint, it's just that we hardly ever schedule work on blueprint these days01:02
intellectronicawgrant: i don't think that there being more than one branch is a reason not to do this01:02
poolieseems to me you should have either "bug 1234" (which is surely the common case) or "multiple bugs"01:02

wgrantMalone, I presume? Or lp-bzr?01:03
poolieif you're talking about links to branches, i'd say lp-bzr01:04
intellectronicawgrant: file it on malone, please01:04
* wgrant 's head explodes.01:04
* wgrant files it on malone.01:04
rockstarwgrant, you were asking about commit hooks for Tarmac.  I just landed it courtesy of statik01:47
thumperwgrant: the title on the branch links for the listings used to be there01:59
thumperwgrant: however it got vetoed by someone big01:59
thumperwgrant: sorry01:59
thumperwgrant: generally because there can be multiple links, and multiple badges was also vetoed02:00
spivthumper: it sucks a bit that the rare case causes the common case to suck02:01
thumperspiv: excrement happens02:02
wgrantthumper: Then someone big can veto mine again with a good reason, and I can contest it like the bastard I am,.02:29

ubottuLaunchpad bug 338070 in malone "Show name of linked branch in bug listings" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/33807002:33
=== salgado is now known as salgado-afk
wgrantrockstar: Is tarmac landing tarmac branches as you, hence the odd commit messages?02:34
rockstarwgrant, what odd commit messages?02:35
rockstarThere should only be one odd commit message, and that bug is fixed.02:35
wgrantrockstar: A commit by you saying "Fantastic project!", which I presume was in fact statik's specified commit message.02:35
rockstarwgrant, yeah.02:35
wgrantBut all the commits show up with you as the commiter.02:36
rockstarwgrant, yeah, because that's the user that tarmac runs as.  I *could* create a user just for my tarmac instance, but it doesn't make a lot of sense.02:36
wgrantrockstar: Can't you just override whoami?02:37
wgrantThe LP user doesn't matter.02:37
rockstarwgrant, I could, but that wouldn't make much sense, methinks.  I'd like Launchpad to be able to tell people who to abuse for a specific revision.02:37
rockstarThe "Contact this user" button makes the LP user matter.02:38
rockstarI assume responsibility for my instance of Tarmac.02:38
wgrantThe person to contact is the person who authored the branch.02:38
wgrantAh, I see.02:38
rockstarI authored the branch that the revision is present in by setting a small script to do it.02:39
wgrantI don't see it that way.02:39
wgrantIn a way it should be whoever set the bmp status.02:39
=== matsubara is now known as matsubara-afk
rockstarwgrant, there will be a commit message modification that will state who the reviewers were that approved it, but the person who actually did the merging is more responsible for it.02:40
rockstarSetting the branch to approved requires permissions.02:40
wgrantrockstar: But the person who did the merging is perfect (because it is a robot), and the only person who writes to the branch, so even its identity is uninteresting. The owner is even less interesting.02:41
rockstarwgrant, I don't completely disagree with you.  I'll have to think about it.02:55
wgrantrockstar: I'm not sure of the ideal solution, but I think neither the PQM nor Tarmac solutions are good.02:56
rockstarwgrant, which solution are you talking about.02:59
rockstarAre you talking about the robotic landing of branches?03:00
wgrantrockstar: No, the attribution of the commit.03:01
wgrantIt is certainly nitpicking, but it is slightly important.03:01
wgrantParticularly in the tarmac case, as it shows it's you doing everything.03:01
rockstarwgrant, technically, it is me doing the landing.  I'm saying "Tarmac, do what I'm too lazy to do" and it says "In your name master."03:37
AnAntspm: Hello08:33
davmor2Guys just a quick heads up I keep getting time out errors on lp trying to report a bug it's been happening since last evening about 5-7 ish09:27
wgrantdavmor2: edge.launchpad.net, or plain launchpad.net?09:27

davmor2wgrant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126608/ is what I'm getting09:29
davmor2daft thing is I can access other bugs I just can't write this new one :(09:30
wgrantdavmor2: At what stage does it die?09:32
davmor2wgrant: I type in the summary and hit continue then get that page everytime since last night09:34
wgrantdavmor2: What is the search term?09:34
wgrantAlso, try https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug instead. It might work.09:34
davmor2wgrant: same thing09:35
wgrantWhat is the search string?09:36
davmor2it's not going to be something daft like the summary is too long is it?09:36
davmor2Jaunty: Codecs used in totem youtube plugin conflict with those in ubuntu-restricted-extras09:37
thekornconfirmed, same here with this subsect09:38
thekornsubject09:38
wgrantMe too.09:38
davmor2that was as short but as discriptive as I could get the title aswell09:39
davmor2wgrant: So is it just the search timing out then?  If so I can try and alter the subject and see if I can report09:47
wgrantdavmor2: It is just the search, yes. Maybe the advanced reporting page would be better.09:51
davmor2So l changed the summary and it gone through now :)09:52

Nghttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux - 15 months of publishing history maybe a little too much?16:43
barryNg: yeah, that pages takes a while to render, eh?16:46
Ngjust a bit16:46
barryand what does "see full publishing history..." give you that this page doesn't?16:47
barrya nice little summary i guess16:47
Ngpossibly the other 40 odd months of history. I'm too scared to find out ;)16:47
barryNg: it actually renders MUCH faster :)16:47
barryNg: what do you think? maybe the comments for supercededs should be suppressed?16:48
Ngbarry: my initial reaction was just that it should be paginated, with a page size that's reasonable for a small project and for things that are uploaded very frequently16:50
Ng<!-- at least 805 queries issued in 10.03 seconds -->16:50

icebrian_hello any web admin here? need to close a project20:05
SamBicebrian_: what for ?20:05
icebrian_SamB, I opened a project mostly because I wanted to test-run launchpad, I soon realised it was overkill for the size of my project20:06

SamBbarry: a lot of good that does him *now*20:09
barryicebrian_: you can do anything you want on that server.  it has a copy of the production database, but it gets reset every night (or thereabouts) so your changes get deleted20:09
barrySamB: yeah, this is for next time :)20:09
icebrian_barry, site isn't opening20:09

Mezhey wgrant and jamesh :D surprised to see you in here :D21:25
jameshMez: I'm not in my normal time zone21:26
rockstarwgrant, for the original review.  If you want moving diffs, you need something like https://edge.launchpad.net/mad21:26
rockstarwgrant, Launchpad already requires a large amount of resources without having to update diffs on every single BMP.21:27
wgrantrockstar: Right, I discovered that from the bug. Maybe that should be advertised.21:27
wgrantHi Mez.21:27
rockstarwgrant, thumper's going to publicize it, but it's relatively new.21:27
barryLaney: other than PPAs i'm not aware of anything21:28
thumperwgrant: it isn't a bug that the review diff doesn't change21:28
thumperwgrant: it is a feature21:28
jameshrockstar: even if you are running mad, the diff shown on the BMP page gets out of date.21:29
wgrantthumper: It is not a feature. It is an unfortunate result of it being a heavy operation, isn't it?21:29
wgrantIt also *needs* to show when it is out of date.21:29
thumperjamesh: the confusion here is that the nice diff shown isn't the preview diff21:29
Mezjamesh: no, I mean I didnt know you knew about SO :D21:30
thumperjamesh: I have a plan to work with beuno to make the page nicer21:30

wgrantAh.21:30
jameshthumper: it is confusing that that diff gets out of date when the developer fixes bugs during the review21:30
wgrantI do know of it, but I don't live in that channel.21:30
thumperjamesh: well...21:31
thumperjamesh: there are several problems here21:31
thumperjamesh: all kinda related21:32
jameshor if they make the proposal, notice a typo and fix it just after21:33
wgrantthumper: Why is generating a BMP diff so much more expensive than viewing a revision diff in Loggerhead?21:34
rockstarwgrant, you do know the state of Loggerhead right?21:35
wgrantrockstar: I was about to say that, yes...21:35
wgrantBut until it dies, it works fine.21:35
Laneybarry: Thanks, filing a bug then21:36
rockstarwgrant, ask the losas how often it dies, and then ask yourself whether you'd like something similar from Launchpad.21:38
rockstarwgrant, in fairness to Loggerhead, we've made large strides recently.21:38
wgrantrockstar: I am aware of how often it dies.21:38
spmrockstar: * * * * * /etc/init.d/loggerhead restart <== is *very very* tempting21:38
rockstarspm, !21:38
rockstar:)21:38
wgrantBut I don't imagine that the short-lived branch puller would have such a problem. My main point was that Loggerhead can, when it is not broken, generate a diff quickly.21:39
rockstarwgrant, not a diff between two branches, just a diff between two revisions.21:39
wgrantrockstar: Hmm, true...21:41
