[00:29] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 338034 in launchpad "Problem with PPA authentication" [Undecided,New]
[00:35] <wgrant> Why 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] <wgrant> That way I can see at a glance some actual useful information and go to the relevant branches.
[00:44] <poolie> wgrant, sounds like a bug to me
[00:48] <intellectronica> wgrant: please file a bug, that's a very good idea
[00:58] <wgrant> poolie, intellectronica: I actually had a similar suggestion about the blueprint icon get rejected, but maybe it's worth another try.
[00:58] <poolie> oh really, for what reason?
[00:59] <poolie> branches are being much more actively developed than blueprints
[01:01] <wgrant> poolie: Because there could be multiple linked, or something like that.
[01:01] <wgrant> It was rejected for more than just Blueprint being abandoned for >4 years.
[01:01] <poolie> oh i see
[01:01] <poolie> Pedantical, fuck yeah
[01:02] <intellectronica> wgrant: that's the pretty much the same for bugs and blueprint, it's just that we hardly ever schedule work on blueprint these days
[01:02] <intellectronica> wgrant: i don't think that there being more than one branch is a reason not to do this
[01:02] <poolie> seems to me you should have either "bug 1234" (which is surely the common case) or "multiple bugs"
[01:02] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 1234 in launchpad-foundations "Gina is an unmaintainable mess of command line options, environment variables and shell scripts" [Medium,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1234

[01:02] <wgrant> poolie: That's what I thought.
[01:03] <wgrant> poolie: Pedantical?
[01:03]  * wgrant biles a fug.
[01:03] <wgrant> Malone, I presume? Or lp-bzr?
[01:04] <poolie> if you're talking about links to branches, i'd say lp-bzr
[01:04] <intellectronica> wgrant: file it on malone, please
[01:04]  * wgrant 's head explodes.
[01:04]  * wgrant files it on malone.
[01:47] <rockstar> wgrant, you were asking about commit hooks for Tarmac.  I just landed it courtesy of statik
[01:59] <thumper> wgrant: the title on the branch links for the listings used to be there
[01:59] <thumper> wgrant: however it got vetoed by someone big
[01:59] <thumper> wgrant: sorry
[02:00] <thumper> wgrant: generally because there can be multiple links, and multiple badges was also vetoed
[02:01] <spiv> thumper: it sucks a bit that the rare case causes the common case to suck
[02:02] <thumper> spiv: excrement happens
[02:29] <wgrant> thumper: Then someone big can veto mine again with a good reason, and I can contest it like the bastard I am,.

=== salgado is now known as salgado-afk
[02:34] <wgrant> rockstar: Is tarmac landing tarmac branches as you, hence the odd commit messages?
[02:35] <rockstar> wgrant, what odd commit messages?
[02:35] <rockstar> There should only be one odd commit message, and that bug is fixed.
[02:35] <wgrant> rockstar: A commit by you saying "Fantastic project!", which I presume was in fact statik's specified commit message.
[02:35] <rockstar> wgrant, yeah.
[02:36] <wgrant> But all the commits show up with you as the commiter.
[02:36] <rockstar> wgrant, 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.
[02:37] <wgrant> rockstar: Can't you just override whoami?
[02:37] <wgrant> The LP user doesn't matter.
[02:37] <rockstar> wgrant, 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.
[02:38] <rockstar> The "Contact this user" button makes the LP user matter.
[02:38] <rockstar> I assume responsibility for my instance of Tarmac.
[02:38] <wgrant> The person to contact is the person who authored the branch.
[02:38] <wgrant> Ah, I see.
[02:39] <rockstar> I authored the branch that the revision is present in by setting a small script to do it.
[02:39] <wgrant> I don't see it that way.
[02:39] <wgrant> In a way it should be whoever set the bmp status.
=== matsubara is now known as matsubara-afk
[02:40] <rockstar> wgrant, 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] <rockstar> Setting the branch to approved requires permissions.
[02:41] <wgrant> rockstar: 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.
[02:55] <rockstar> wgrant, I don't completely disagree with you.  I'll have to think about it.
[02:56] <wgrant> rockstar: I'm not sure of the ideal solution, but I think neither the PQM nor Tarmac solutions are good.
[02:59] <rockstar> wgrant, which solution are you talking about.
[03:00] <rockstar> Are you talking about the robotic landing of branches?
[03:01] <wgrant> rockstar: No, the attribution of the commit.
[03:01] <wgrant> It is certainly nitpicking, but it is slightly important.
[03:01] <wgrant> Particularly in the tarmac case, as it shows it's you doing everything.
[03:37] <rockstar> wgrant, 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."
[08:33] <AnAnt> spm: Hello
[09:27] <davmor2> Guys 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 ish
[09:27] <wgrant> davmor2: edge.launchpad.net, or plain launchpad.net?
[09:28] <davmor2> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug
[09:28] <wgrant> Ew.
[09:29] <davmor2> wgrant: http://paste.ubuntu.com/126608/ is what I'm getting
[09:30] <davmor2> daft thing is I can access other bugs I just can't write this new one :(
[09:32] <wgrant> davmor2: At what stage does it die?
[09:34] <davmor2> wgrant: I type in the summary and hit continue then get that page everytime since last night
[09:34] <wgrant> davmor2: What is the search term?
[09:34] <wgrant> Also, try https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug instead. It might work.
[09:35] <davmor2> wgrant: same thing
[09:36] <wgrant> What is the search string?
[09:36] <davmor2> it's not going to be something daft like the summary is too long is it?
[09:37] <davmor2> Jaunty: Codecs used in totem youtube plugin conflict with those in ubuntu-restricted-extras
[09:38] <thekorn> confirmed, same here with this subsect
[09:38] <thekorn> subject
[09:38] <wgrant> Me too.
[09:39] <davmor2> that was as short but as discriptive as I could get the title aswell
[09:47] <davmor2> wgrant: So is it just the search timing out then?  If so I can try and alter the subject and see if I can report
[09:51] <wgrant> davmor2: It is just the search, yes. Maybe the advanced reporting page would be better.
[09:52] <davmor2> So l changed the summary and it gone through now :)
[09:52] <davmor2> thanks for the help :)

[16:46] <barry> Ng: yeah, that pages takes a while to render, eh?
[16:46] <Ng> just a bit
[16:47] <barry> and what does "see full publishing history..." give you that this page doesn't?
[16:47] <barry> a nice little summary i guess

[20:05] <SamB> icebrian_: what for ?
[20:06] <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 project
[20:06] <icebrian_> SamB, it is now showing-up in search results and people are getting confused
[20:07] <barry> icebrian_: which project?
[20:07] <icebrian_> domus.Link
[20:08] <barry> icebrian_: do you know about our staging server?
[20:08] <icebrian_> barry, nope
[20:08] <barry> icebrian_: staging.launchpad.net
[20:09] <SamB> barry: a lot of good that does him *now*
[20:09] <barry> icebrian_: 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 deleted
[20:09] <barry> SamB: yeah, this is for next time :)
[20:09] <icebrian_> barry, site isn't opening
[20:09] <icebrian_> barry, ah ok but I see the point... yeah didn't know about it before

[20:57] <jml> jamesh: I am!
[20:58] <jml> jamesh: but I haven't had the chance yet.
[20:58] <jamesh> yay
[20:58] <jml> jamesh: (and I wanted to generate a diff easily so I could just review it without fiddling about when the right confluence of time & energy arises)
[21:00] <Laney> Is support for syncing straight from LP (for people with upload rights) targetted for any release?
[21:23] <barry> Laney: i'm not quite sure what your question is asking.  do you mean branch sync'ing, translation sync'ing?
[21:23] <Laney> package syncing
[21:23] <Laney> i.e. from debian
[21:24] <Laney> I heard that LP was getting a UI for this
[21:25]  * Mez yawns
[21:25] <wgrant> rockstar: If the BMP diff isn't meant to update, what is the point of it?
[21:25] <Mez> am surprised that this channel is so active nowadays
[21:25] <Mez> hey wgrant and jamesh :D surprised to see you in here :D
[21:26] <jamesh> Mez: I'm not in my normal time zone
[21:26] <rockstar> wgrant, for the original review.  If you want moving diffs, you need something like https://edge.launchpad.net/mad
[21:27] <rockstar> wgrant, Launchpad already requires a large amount of resources without having to update diffs on every single BMP.
[21:27] <wgrant> rockstar: Right, I discovered that from the bug. Maybe that should be advertised.
[21:27] <wgrant> Hi Mez.
[21:27] <rockstar> wgrant, thumper's going to publicize it, but it's relatively new.
[21:28] <barry> Laney: other than PPAs i'm not aware of anything
[21:28] <thumper> wgrant: it isn't a bug that the review diff doesn't change
[21:28] <thumper> wgrant: it is a feature
[21:29] <jamesh> rockstar: even if you are running mad, the diff shown on the BMP page gets out of date.
[21:29] <wgrant> thumper: It is not a feature. It is an unfortunate result of it being a heavy operation, isn't it?
[21:29] <wgrant> It also *needs* to show when it is out of date.
[21:29] <thumper> jamesh: the confusion here is that the nice diff shown isn't the preview diff
[21:30] <Mez> jamesh: no, I mean I didnt know you knew about SO :D
[21:30] <thumper> jamesh: I have a plan to work with beuno to make the page nicer
[21:30]  * Mez wonders what your karmas are :D
[21:30] <Mez> oh, wait
[21:30]  * Mez is an idiot
[21:30] <wgrant> SO?
[21:30]  * Mez thought this was another channel :D
[21:30] <Mez> hehe

[21:30] <wgrant> Heheh.
[21:30] <Mez> wgrant: stackoverflow - http://www.stackoverflow.com/ and #stackoverflow
[21:30] <wgrant> Ah.
[21:30] <jamesh> thumper: it is confusing that that diff gets out of date when the developer fixes bugs during the review
[21:30] <wgrant> I do know of it, but I don't live in that channel.
[21:31] <thumper> jamesh: well...
[21:31] <thumper> jamesh: there are several problems here
[21:32] <thumper> jamesh: all kinda related
[21:33] <jamesh> or if they make the proposal, notice a typo and fix it just after
[21:34] <wgrant> thumper: Why is generating a BMP diff so much more expensive than viewing a revision diff in Loggerhead?
[21:35] <rockstar> wgrant, you do know the state of Loggerhead right?
[21:35] <wgrant> rockstar: I was about to say that, yes...
[21:35] <wgrant> But until it dies, it works fine.
[21:36] <Laney> barry: Thanks, filing a bug then
[21:38] <rockstar> wgrant, ask the losas how often it dies, and then ask yourself whether you'd like something similar from Launchpad.
[21:38] <rockstar> wgrant, in fairness to Loggerhead, we've made large strides recently.
[21:38] <wgrant> rockstar: I am aware of how often it dies.
[21:38] <spm> rockstar: * * * * * /etc/init.d/loggerhead restart <== is *very very* tempting
[21:38] <rockstar> spm, !
[21:38] <rockstar> :)
[21:39] <wgrant> But 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] <rockstar> wgrant, not a diff between two branches, just a diff between two revisions.
[21:41] <wgrant> rockstar: Hmm, true...
