* SamB wonders if he has reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-bazaar/+bug/339380 in the right place01:35
ubottuUbuntu bug 339380 in launchpad-bazaar "push doesn't work when default stacking branch is a mirror that has failed to update ?" [Undecided,New]01:35
* SamB wonders a bit about https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad-bazaar/+bug/339379 too ...01:35
ubottuUbuntu bug 339379 in launchpad-bazaar "lp: urls are not expanded in the --stacked-on option for push" [Undecided,New]01:35
savvasSamB: try #bzr or #ubuntu-bugs if no-one replies  :)01:37
SamBwhy #ubuntu-bugs ? I'm on Debian ;-P01:38
jmlSamB: oh hi01:38
jmlSamB: so, you don't need to specify --stacked-on to do what you are doing.01:38
jmlSamB: but the bugs you've reported are definitely bugs, and are in the right place.01:38
SamBjml: oh don't I ?01:38
SamB#339380 is how I ran into #339379, really01:39
jmlSamB: ahh I see.01:39
savvasSamB: I just recommended alternative ways in case someone didn't reply - which they did :P01:40
jmlSamB: so, is there a canonical bzr branch for dvc?01:41
savvasshouldn't the links be "lp:~naesten/dvc/styleNdocs" instead of "lp:///~naesten/dvc/styleNdocs" ?01:42
jmlsavvas: yeah, but both will work.01:42
jmlSamB: so, stacking on non-trunk branches is basically not supported on Launchpad right now.01:43
jmlSamB: we'd like to fix that -- and we will -- but right now the only way to get it to work is really fiddly.01:44
jmlSamB: 'bzr push --no-stacked' ought to work.01:44
wgrantjml: Can't one manually specify http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~path/to/branch URLs to stack on?01:44
jmlwgrant: one can. I keep forgetting about that, since I work on a proprietary code base, for which that won't work.01:44
wgrantAhhh, true.01:45
jmlSamB: so, what wgrant said is right.01:45
SamBjml: there is a canonical branch, but for some reason launchpad has trouble mirroring it ...01:46
jmlSamB: it's generating 403s, even in my web browser.01:46
SamBjml: that's because you are trying to look at it01:47
SamBit works fine otherwise01:47
SamBwell, except for bzr info01:47
SamBsee https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/6319101:47
jmlSamB: I see.01:49
wgrantWhy is it 403ing everything unknown?01:49
jmlSamB: Launchpad inspects the branch before pulling it, because we need to check out some things about the branch before we pull it.01:49
SamBwgrant: maybe you should ask that in the question ?01:49
SamBStefan Reichör is the one that runs that server, not me01:50
wgrantAh.01:50
SamBdo you think that question should maybe be converted to a bug, since launchpad could obviously do with being a bit more articulate about the problem ?01:54
jmlSamB: I think there are already bugs about error messages there.01:54
SamBoh01:55
SamBright01:55
jmlSamB: also I don't understand stefan's comments in that thread01:55
wgrantIt could also be a bug in bzr.01:55
wgrantThat it doesn't take a 403 as a failure to get that file.01:55
wgrantBut I suppose that's not a good idea.01:55
SamBwell, I mean, launchpad could at least say that something like "bzr info" is failing, or give the URL ... just a thought01:56
jmlSamB: it's not doing bzr info, it's doing something much more complex01:56
SamByeah01:57
SamBthought maybe01:57
jmlSamB: we are very defensive in the way we pull arbitrary data from user-supplied branches01:57
SamBsensible01:57
SamBusers are always changing things01:57
jmlor being deliberately malicious.01:58
jmlalthough we haven't come across that yet, at least not in the form of a security attack :)01:58
SamBwell, assuming malice is a decent approximation for all the things users can do by accident anyway01:59
* SamB wonders if he should report http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=517770 on launchpad, Debian isn't responding and he has no reason to believe this is a Debian problem ...02:05
ubottuDebian bug 517770 in bzr "bzr: BZR_PROGRESS_BAR is ignored" [Normal,Open]02:05

G__81gpg --clearsign key16:14
G__81it asks me to enter passphrase and after i enter it i get back to the prompt and nothing is written onto the "key"16:14

nhandlerCould someone here try and reproduce a bug with the PPAs for me?17:04
hyperairnhandler: what bug is this?17:12
nhandlerhyperair: Upload a package to your ppa. Do a search for that package in the web interface. Watch the Build Status column as it goes from needs building to building to complete. For me, once it starts building, I end up with several arch names right next to each other (no space between them). However, if I refresh the page, a space is added17:14
hyperairhmmm need to find a package to upload17:15
nhandlerIf I had to guess, this probably is some ajax bug17:16

bcurtiswxHi all, im a bug traiger for ubuntu.  I'm wondering how possible it would be to gather OS version and package version (depending on a package is provided in the bug report) to bug reports on submit.  this i guess would regard the manual submissions, as apport on ubuntu will report this automatically.18:42
jpdsbcurtiswx: apt-cache policy <package> - shall give you the package version, while uname -a <- OS version.18:58
bcurtiswxjpds: yes i do know this.  what i mean, is can launchpad be built to do this on submit of bug reports... so this way triagers arent wasting time asking for this information18:59
jpdsYeah, you'll have to ask them for manual submissions.19:00
bcurtiswxjpds: right now its just a couple of asterisks on the bottom of the submit form.. and people who are just filling in the fields will typically ignore that..19:00
bcurtiswxjpds: since this is important information in bug reports, i imagine having launchpad obtain this information automatically on submit would be extremely beneficial19:01
jpdsbcurtiswx: Can't see any way of doing that really.19:04
bcurtiswxjpds: ok.. the only other idea I had for this.. would be to insert an input field to the bug reports to have the user input OS version and/or package versions19:06
bcurtiswxjpds: bug managers like bugzilla gnome have a section devoted to finding version information out19:07
jpdsbcurtiswx: You might want to file a bug against launchpad-bugs about that.19:08
bcurtiswxjpds: ok, i wasn't sure if a bug report was more efficient way to get this addressed.19:09
LarstiQbcurtiswx: for Debian, the canonical method of using 'reportbug' takes care of that19:09
bcurtiswxLarstiQ: is there an example i can look at (sorry if this is a dumb question)19:11
jpdsbcurtiswx: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=51269419:13
ubottuDebian bug 512694 in pidgin-facebookchat "pidgin-facebookchat: package should depend on the pidgin package" [Normal,Open]19:13
bcurtiswxjpds: is there a way to push that for launchpad bug reports?19:14
LarstiQbcurtiswx: you'll have to have a culture of people using reportbug19:17
bcurtiswxhmm19:18
bcurtiswxLarstiQ, how similar or dissimilar are apport/reportbug (could they be combined?)19:19
LarstiQbcurtiswx: no clue19:19
LarstiQbcurtiswx: but reportbug is a Debian tool19:19
jpdsbcurtiswx: Actually, I think https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2009-February/000535.html - may just be what you want.19:20
bcurtiswxah yes, package hooks.. i know about those.. but as of right now they need hooks made for tons of other important packages19:21
bcurtiswxjpds: this is a good way to grab that info.. but its more after the fact... im going for gathering this information on the initial report19:24
jpdsbcurtiswx: You're going to have to hope that the user does as requested then :(19:25
bcurtiswxhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/splix/+bug/33844219:27
ubottuUbuntu bug 338442 in system-config-printer "bug reports would benefit from an apport hook" [Undecided,In progress]19:27
LarstiQbcurtiswx: there are different ways people can report bugs19:28
LarstiQbcurtiswx: also, what works for Ubuntu won't for other upstream projects19:29
LarstiQbcurtiswx: so imo you should have your own bug reporting workflow documented anyway19:29
bcurtiswxLarstiQ:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug isnt a stellar start to a bug report... and the typical bug reporter wont go to advanced options.  Should I file a bug against changing that process around?19:33
LarstiQbcurtiswx: I guess allowing projects to customize the bug reporting a bit might be a good idea19:38
LarstiQbcurtiswx: though I suspect there would already be requests for that19:38
bcurtiswxLarstiQ, I love that first option.  i think that would be a great thing.  In ubuntu, triagers are always asking reporters for package and OS versions... so allowing us to collect that in bug reports that we can customize would be awesome19:40
bcurtiswxLarstiQ: how would I go about getting this in the works?19:54
LarstiQbcurtiswx: look through the answers/bugs filed on launchpad for something similar?19:56
