mtaylorso... this new releases/milestones thing is great - but I can't seem to figure out how to make a release that isn't  associated with a milestone. am I just dumb?06:34
thumpermtaylor: IIRC a release is a milestone that happes to be released06:35
thumpermtaylor: so all releases are milestones06:35
thumpermtaylor: but all milestones are not necessarily releases06:35
mtaylorright06:36
mtaylorbefore, there was an ability to just go to a release series and "register a release"06:36
mtayloris it now that if I wanted to achieve that same effect, I would need to explictly define a milestone, then go to that milestone and release a file?06:37

wgrantWhy can't I specify a commit message when I first create a merge proposal?12:19
intellectronicawgrant: you mean a commit message to be used when the branch eventually gets merged?12:31
intellectronicaif yes, then i think this is a really good idea12:31
intellectronicarockstar: ^^^^^12:32
wgrantintellectronica: There's already a field for it.12:32
wgrantintellectronica: But I can only set it after I've created it.12:32
intellectronicaoh, there is? can't believe i missed it :)12:32
wgrantI didn't see it until today eitherl.12:33
intellectronicaoh wow, i can see. maybe that's a new feature. very nice12:33
wgrantIt must be.12:33
wgrantBecause I got a colleague to include the commit message in the initial comment just a couple of weeks ago...12:34
intellectronicawgrant: i wonder, how would you specify it? i usually  create merge proposals by `bzr send`ing. bzr will have to know how to do that12:34
wgrantintellectronica: I use the 'Propose for merging' link.12:35
wgrantBut bzr send could easily take an argument. It would make sense for a lot of cases.12:36
intellectronicayes, i guess it would make sense for bzr to take a parameter when sending even if it's not for an LP merge proposal, since sending a bundle is usually a process that should end with a merge anyway12:37
wgrantExactly.12:37
wgrantWhat does it use for the email subject now?12:37
james_wit seeds them from the first line of the last commit message in the branch12:39
james_wwhich is often "clean up" or similar if there is more than one revision in the merge directive, so not ideal12:40
wgrantRight. That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.12:41
james_wit's arguably better than nothing12:41
james_was it's only seeding it, you can set it to what you like12:41
james_wyou would be expected to provide two things, a commit message and a cover letter, as they will often be different12:42
james_wthere could be a convention in the text of the mail to separate the two12:42

Ngis the release registering stuff in the latest rollout.... wrong?16:06
Ngthe blog post about it gives the impression that one can register a release and its accompanying milestone at the same time, but it seems like you can just register a milestone and then publish that to a release16:06
Ng(and fwiw, the docs on this appear to be wrong or missing, unless I'm entirely wrong about all of this!)16:07

sinzui1Ng: This is for this month only16:16
sinzui1Ng, We will begine testing a feature to create a milestone while creating a release this week16:17
=== sinzui1 is now known as sinzui
Ngsinzui: aha, ok, thanks16:18
Ngsinzui: fwiw, I raise this because a friend of mine uses LP for his project, and said he would very much appreciate being emailed when he needs to change his processes like this. Maybe there could be a combination of launchpad-announce and the blog, aimed at project administrators? (probably more of a question for mrevell I suppose)16:19
sinzuiNg: agreed16:20
pancakehow can i create a private branch in launchpad?16:20
pancakei dont see any option or help in the documentation16:21
mrevellNg: Up until now we've done a mix of emailing people directly, where we can definitely see they've  used a feature, as well as posting on the blog and launchpad-announce. This one probably should have gone to announce as well as the blog but it did go to launchpad-users.16:21
mrevellNg: it's difficult to get the balance right some times16:21
Ngmrevell: sure, you'll never make everyone happy :)16:21
mrevellNg: We promise -announce will be very low traffic -- downtime notiftications, that sort of thing16:21
mrevellNg: So, I'm in two minds. I think -users is the best place for most communication like this.16:22
Ngmrevell: there's no way he (or I, as a fellow project owner) will subscribe to -users :)16:22
mrevellNg: Why? It's not particularly high traffic?16:23

bacpancake: there is some information here:  http://blog.launchpad.net/general/new-privacy-features-for-commercial-subscribers16:29
Ngmrevell: for his part, he has no interest in being part of the launchpad user community, he just wants to release his software easily. I just don't have screen space for more mailing list folders ;)16:29
Ngmrevell: but it's better than nothing :)16:29
pancakebac: Thanks16:30
bacpancake: when you register your project and mark the license as 'Other/Proprietary' you will shown a link for buying a commercial subscription voucher in the canonical store16:30
pancakewill check that16:30
bacpancake: once you buy that voucher you return to launchpad and apply it to your project.  voila.16:30
pancakecan i work on public branches and then convert them into private at some point?16:30
pancakeor i will need to reimport them?16:30
bacpancake: i *believe* you will need to push them again16:31
pancakeoops ok :)16:31
mrevellNg: I think major changes like this are probably right for -announce. When it comes to changes that affect smaller, easily definable groups (i.e. people we can pull out of the db with a query) then we email directly. I'll check to see if the LP welcome email recommends people subscribe to -announce. If it doesn't, I'll amend it.16:31
Ngmrevell: I think that makes sense :)16:31
bacpancake: contact me here if you have further questions.16:31

cprovup to 20 minutes after the upload gets accepted.20:17
tsimpsonah, ok20:17
adrian15555cprov, I am going to wait for email about  accept.20:18
adrian15555cprov, So... the files that I have uploaded to ~adrian15/fai/ will be automatically deleted by the system or might I delete them somehow? And so how?20:18
cprovadrian15555: that upload was rejected, so already wiped from our servers. No worries.20:19
cprovadrian15555: btw, didn't you receive a rejection email from it ?20:20
adrian15555cprov, I only received an email rejection from the first dput, the one that was not well written20:21
adrian15555cprov, I did another three other dputs and no email rejection did I receive20:21
cprovadrian15555: let me check the logs for you.20:22
adrian15555I had: ~adrian15/ppa/fai/ and you adviced me to write: ~adrian/fai/ instead.20:22

cprovadrian15555: 2009-04-06 19:20:41 DEBUG       Subject: live-initramfs_1.132.1-1~ppa1_source.changes rejected20:23
adrian15555cprov, Yes.20:23
adrian15555cprov, I just have received the mails from these last three dputs.20:23
adrian15555cprov, Unable to find distroseries: unstable (That's the error). Is it changelog which it is incorrect, maybe?20:24
adrian15555cprov, That's very interesting. The other packages read intrepid instead of unstable. But I have got live-initramfs from Ubuntu 8.10 official repository20:26
adrian15555I am going to change it to intrepid and that's it.20:26
cprovadrian15555: ubuntu has pristine debian syncs20:27
adrian15555cprov, ok, that explains20:28
cprovadrian15555: you can override information in the changelog by using 'incoming= ~adrian15/fai/ubuntu/intrepid'20:28
adrian15555cprov, But the ppa will still be the same url isn't it ?20:29
cprovadrian15555: this way you wouldn't have to change the source20:29
cprovadrian15555: the only disadvantage of doing it is that the version number won't be changed either20:29
adrian15555cprov, what do you mean?20:30
cprovadrian15555: yes, the parameters after the PPA name are optional an will be used to adjust the uploaded changesfile20:30
adrian15555cprov, ok, that's fine20:31
cprovadrian15555: I mean that you can use the upload path overrides to adjust pristine sources downloaded from debian or other repository, without spending time changing the source.20:31
adrian15555cprov, uploaded. Now I will wait till 21:4020:32
cprovadrian15555: :4520:32
cprovupload processor runs */520:32
adrian15555cprov, I did understand that part. What I did not understand is the version number part? Why is it a disadvantage?20:32
cprovadrian15555: ah, right20:32
cprovadrian15555: by having the same version in you PPA and in the original location you lose the upgrade path on clients20:33
cprovadrian15555: people with your PPA and the original repo (debian, ubuntu, etc) will have unpredictable installation candidates.20:34
cprovbecause binaries, despite of being different (built in different circumstances), will have the same version.20:34
adrian15555cprov, Do not worry. I haved added my own lines to changelog adding that ~ppa at the end.20:37
cprovadrian15555: cool20:37
adrian15555cprov, It was written here: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA So I did that.20:39
