[00:15] micahg, about 20 minutes or so [00:16] beuno, much quicker than that [00:17] it showed up, thanks :) was my first package [00:19] cody-somerville, I like to under-promise [00:21] spm: yesterday I requested a rename that was wrong... would you mind fixing it for me? https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/72840 === beuno_ is now known as beuno [00:45] javaJake: heh. re-fixed [00:45] spm: awesome! :) [00:55] how long will it take for packages to show up in a ppa after I run dput?

[01:02] neurobuntu: -kKEYID [01:04] wgrant, I've tried that but for some reason dpkg-buildpackage is getting run with -us -uc [01:05] debuild -kC1F83B3D -rfakeroot -S [01:05] dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -d -us -uc -sa -i -I -S [01:06] neurobuntu: debuild uses debsign to do the signing, not dpkg-buildpackage. [01:07] ok thanks === asac_ is now known as asac [02:59] hey there [02:59] question, I just got a bzr branch for a project approved on launchpad, but I can't seem to commit on that branch [03:00] I bzr lp-login, and when I try to commit I get Transport operation not possible: readonly transport [03:00] WanderingKnight: How did you get the branch? [03:04] I imported it [03:05] I mean, how did you check it out? [03:05] bzr checkout [03:05] With what URL? [03:05] lp:projectname [03:05] What is the project? [03:05] animeplayer [03:06] Ah. [03:06] That's owned by ~vcs-imports, so you don't have access. Imports are read-only, and are for projects that don't use bzr as their primary VCS. [03:06] oh [03:07] Was it your intention to move to bzr rather than svn? [03:07] yep [03:07] Let me find a guide on that... [03:08] I had my svn repo on sourceforge, but I found that it actually kind of sucked, so I decided to move it to bzr... [03:09] http://bazaar-vcs.org/BzrMigration is the relevant page. [03:09] I'd probably use bzr-svn. [03:09] (that's how I migrated my project) [03:09] * thumper wants to get bzr-svn used for subversion imports [03:09] rather than cscvs [03:09] thumper: yes please :D [03:09] It's quite stable now. [03:09] * thumper nods [03:09] we just have more work than people [03:10] hm, but the guys at launchpad supposedly imported the sourceforge svn to a launchpad bzr branch [03:10] They did, yes. [03:10] WanderingKnight: you can branch the lp copy [03:10] WanderingKnight: then push it to launchpad so you own it [03:10] mmm [03:10] WanderingKnight: then get the subversion one stopped [03:10] WanderingKnight: then make your branch the trunk branch [03:10] bzr-svn might not give much benefit if you haven't already used bzr-svn on the branch, I guess. [03:11] I'm not worried about the svn branch since I'm the only one committing to that project for now [03:11] WanderingKnight: normal bzr usage is to use local branches rather than checkouts [03:12] so how should I go about doing it? do I delete the .bzr directory and start over? [03:13] WanderingKnight: you don't have to do that [03:13] oh [03:13] WanderingKnight: I think you can just unbind [03:13] and push [03:13] a checkout is a bound branch [03:13] as in bound to the remote one [03:14] I'm not entirely sure but something like `bzr unbind` may work [03:14] * thumper looks at bzr help [03:14] It should. [03:14] trying that now [03:14] bzr unbind, then bzr push [03:14] getting the same... [03:14] bzr push --remember lp:~you/project/trunk [03:15] * thumper wanders off, back shortly [03:16] seems it worked now [03:17] Now you go to https://launchpad.net/animeplayer/trunk/+edit, and change the branch to yours. [03:17] Then you convince thumper to delete the old one. [03:18] wgrant: so how do I change the branch to mine? [03:18] WanderingKnight: Enter its name or search for it in the second-bottom field on that page. [03:18] change from ~vcs-imports to ~myusername? [03:19] Whatever you pushed the branch to, without the 'lp:' [03:19] ok :) [03:19] The branch set on that page is the one that appears as lp:animeplayer [03:20] now I'm getting that the paths aren't versionede [03:20] *versioned [03:20] What are you doing? [03:20] bzr commit lp:~bla/bla/bla [03:21] Ah. That tells it to commit a file named lp:~bla/bla/bla [03:21] Which probably doesn't exist. [03:21] well, replace lp:~bla/bla/bla to the branch I pushed to [03:21] Just 'bzr commit' will commit to the local copy of the branch. Then you can 'bzr push', and that will push the changes to wherever you pushed it before. [03:21] oh [03:21] I get it now [03:21] thanks :) [03:21] You can 'bzr bind', which will automatically push commits. [03:22] oh [03:22] thank you :D [03:22] The difference between a checkout and a branch is just that a checkout is bound. So 'bzr up' in a checkout automatically gets changes from the server, and 'bzr commit' pushes them automagically. In a branch, you have to 'bzr pull' and 'bzr push' manually. [03:23] hmm, seems like it's binding to the 'old' branch [03:23] the ~vcs-imports one [03:23] Oh, possibly. Try 'bzr bind lp:whatever'. [03:23] oh ok [03:24] Once you do that, it should remember. [03:24] thank you, now it works :) [03:24] Excellent. === abentley1 is now known as abentley === abentley1 is now known as abentley [05:26] How do I merge two branches? [05:27] How do I erase a project? [05:28] tc-rucho: Ask answers.launchpad.net/launchpad [05:28] tc-rucho: Projects can't be simply dropped. They can be deleted, but generally they're disabled and hidden in case they need to be reactivated [05:30] MTecknology: in this case, I just registered them before I was sure about the name so as to reserve the name. Now I'd like to make those that were not chosen available [05:30] tc-rucho: just file a question explaining that [05:31] MTecknology: you meed to merge them locally, launchpad doesn't do it for you [05:31] (yet) [05:33] thumper: when I do it, will the person that made the changes show up for the commit then? [05:34] or will it only merge the changes? [05:34] tc-rucho: (a question on answers.launchpad.net/launchpad) [05:35] lifeless: on my way [05:35] MTecknology: bzr tracks the origin of lines [05:37] oh, thanks [05:38] so if I bzr merge lp:stuff, then bzr commit -m "Merging blah", bzr push, it'll work right? [05:38] MTecknology: yes, but you may want to attribute the author in the commit [05:38] with --author I think [05:38] oh [05:38] MTecknology: launchpad uses the apparent author [05:39] damn then... I wish I could revert :P [05:39] hu? [05:39] MTecknology: bzr uncommit [05:39] thumper: are there any plans for lauchpad to write my project's code for me? sorta like I just wave a hand at launchpad to "JFDI" and magic happens? [05:39] spm: yes, just after we enable skynet [05:39] hahahahahahahahaha [05:40] woah [05:40] neato [05:40] thumper: how do I push that then? [05:40] so it's gone on lp.net? [05:40] bzr push [05:40] bzr push --overwrite [05:41] WOW [05:41] that's cool [05:41] It's bzr. What do you expect? [05:42] lifeless: ready [05:42] wgrant: bzr pull --and-a-pony ? [05:42] * wgrant tramples spm [05:43] I knew bzr was awesome - I didn't know how awesome [05:43] so I've been awake since 2am and probably getting a little silly from excessive tiredness :-) [05:43] spm: Ouch! [05:44] so - do I just use --author or do I use --author=user [05:44] wgrant: well. it's not *all* bad. I'm amazed how much losa work I was able to get done from 4.30-6am :-) [05:45] MTecknology: I think you do --author="Eric the Viking " or something [05:45] maybe [05:45] not quite sure how to handle the spaces [05:45] ok [05:45] I've not done it myself [05:46] MTecknology: you could ask on #bzr [05:46] I'll just try it and see how it goes [05:46] ok [05:46] the worst I need to do is uncommit :P [05:46] :D [05:48] * thumper nods [05:48] MTecknology: you should use author when a) you do a cherrypick of someone elses work or b) someone sends you a plain text patch [05:48] MTecknology: you don't need to use it when doing a merge [05:49] oh [05:49] I just did -> bzr commit -m "Merge Proposal 7003, Fix bug 382294" --author="Ddorda " --fixes=lp:382294 [05:49] Launchpad bug 382294 in ubuntu-drupal-theme "Need a style-rtl.css file for RTL languages" [Medium,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/382294 [05:50] - ubottu: I didn't need to to respond then... [05:50] MTecknology: if that was merging someone elses commit then the --author was unnecessary [05:50] bzr knows that the lines were done in their commits [05:50] annotate will show the right info [05:51] ok [05:52] lifeless: But Launchpad won't show it, will it? [05:52] It doesn't show merges. [05:52] wgrant: not yet [05:52] wgrant: a single commit may have hundreds of authors when you consider version jumps or projects like tje kernel [05:53] I'll be happy to see the ability to do bzr merge lp:main lp:~user/contrib [05:53] lifeless: This is true/ [05:53] wgrant: [because its a merge of a lot of work]. So yes, lp's main ui doesn't show it yet. But it will [05:53] or something similar [05:54] dang... lp is cool how it manages merges [05:55] I suppose when all is said and done - the merge will be able to be done from the merge proposal [05:56] MTecknology: it can yes, though you need to truncate the url slightly [05:57] it can already? [05:57] It can't. [05:57] k, you had me excited :P [05:57] Although you can have tarmac watching and doing it automatically.

None of these files could be actually downloaded. Every time I get error page (seems like 404) with the text: There’s no page with this address in Launchpad. [09:57] is it known problem or I broke something? [09:58] bialix: those download links work for me. [09:58] but does not work for me [09:58] bialix: e.g. I just downloaded qbzr-0.10.0.tar.gz just fine [09:58] and for craig (problem reported in qbzr ML) [09:59] and qbzr-setup-0.10.exe is working too. [09:59] I'm just click on file in Firefox and get error page [09:59] That's weird. [10:00] and right-click + save the object does not work too [10:00] am I in blacklist or something? [10:00] I don't think we have that sort of blacklist. [10:01] Perhaps there's a weird HTTP proxy on your end? Most launchpad pages are served over HTTPS, but not download files. [10:02] bialix: Can you paste the *exact* url shown in the address field where you see that error message? [10:02] wait a sec, I'll make screenshot [10:03] Well.. Just the URL should be fine, but a screenshot is also fine. [10:04] Ok, it appears to be a bug that's fixed on edge. [10:04] spiv: Oh, it's... [10:05] right, what you just said :) [10:05] soren: http://bialix.com/qbzr/error-lp.png [10:05] On edge, I get URLs like: http://edge.launchpad.net/qbzr/trunk/0.10.0/+download/qbzr-setup-0.10.exe [10:05] On production, I get 404ing URLs like: http://launchpad.net/qbzr/+milestone/0.10.0/+download/qbzr-setup-0.10.exe [10:05] the same here [10:05] So, as a workaround, point people at https://edge.launchpad.net/qbzr/trunk/0.10.0 [10:06] ok [10:06] not it's not ok actually, but thanks for workaround [10:06] :) [10:09] spiv, bialix: That's bug #378740, fixed yesterday. [10:09] Launchpad bug 378740 in launchpad-registry "Invalid download link in milestone/release context" [High,Fix committed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/378740 [10:09] One would think it would qualify for a CP. [10:09] CP? [10:10] A cherrypick of the fix onto launchpad.net. [10:10] Rather than waiting for Launchpad 2.2.6 to be released. [10:11] yes, this is very serious regression IMO [10:11] Quite a few people have asked here about it. And I'm sure lots more just thought that Launchpad was yet another broken webapp not worthy of any interest. [10:14] btw, new release UI is much better. now release is clearly joined to milestone [10:14] but still UI is a bit weird [10:15] wgrant: thanks, I just left a comment on the bug asking about a cherrypick. [10:15] spiv: Thanks. [10:15] bialix: What's still weird about it? [10:16] it's not clear what is "release notes" and why needed "changelog". [10:17] perhaps there is help somewhere, I don't know [10:17] I can't close all Fix Committed bugs when milestone going to inactive, this is really boring [10:17] I mean "close automatically" [10:17] bialix: There are scripts around to do that with launchpadlib. [10:18] Argh. [10:18] There are docs, but they are terribly out of date and completely useless. [10:19] * wgrant files a bug. [10:19] I'm doing releases of QBzr ~1 year [10:19] maybe I don't see all quirks because I know how to do it [10:20] btw, upload interface could be better as well [10:20] 1. will be nice to have width of description input field a bit (+30%) bigger [10:21] I don't see full text when I'm type something like: Windows Python installer for Python 2.4 [10:21] 2. File content type droplist. How this info is used? [10:22] I never can figure out and many times I have temptaion to not change default value to "Installer file" [10:23] well, at least make all text fileds bigger will be good improvement [10:23] because windows paths to files could be much bigger than available space [10:24] I haven't actually used that UI before. [10:24] * wgrant sharpens some weapons, and prepares to file bugs. [10:24] heh [10:25] may be, (just may be) there should be additional interface for release managers needs [10:26] I remember someone said in #bzr about release interface: it's too hard to find how actually made release [10:26] i.e. you need open series page [10:26] I believe that's known. [10:26] then find out "Create release" link [10:26] Some of this UI is getting reworked *again* soon, IIRC. [10:28] well, ok [10:28] will see [10:29] may be some sort of control panel for project owners/release managers will help [10:29] I dunno [10:31] more use case oriented: I want create milestone, I want create release, etc [10:31] series is not very clear [10:32] Any Bugs people around?

[18:28] sudo sh -c 'echo deb http://ppa/url .... > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa.list' [18:28] vadi2: the way I do it is edit/create /etc/apt/sources.list.d/kubuntu.list and add the sources there [18:28] was hoping for a one-line command, going to try hex' [18:29] hexmode: echo http://... | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa.list [18:29] no need for sudo sh -c [18:29] *deb http://... [18:29] tsimpson: thanks for the reminder... I'm so used to sudo sh... [18:29] "echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/giftwrap/ppa/ubuntu | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa.list" ? [18:30] you need the component "main", but yeah [18:30] "echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/giftwrap/ppa/ubuntu main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa.list" [18:30] "echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/giftwrap/ppa/ubuntu main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa.list" [18:30] okay [18:30] um [18:30] "jaunty main" ? [18:30] err, yeah [18:31] "echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/giftwrap/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ppa.list" [18:31] * tsimpson puts his brain in gear [18:32] if you want to append to the file, use "tee -a" instead [18:32] do I? [18:32] I guess I should, as others might use this [18:33] you only need it when you want to add lines, not for the initial write [18:34] "echo ... | tee file" is like "echo ... > file", "echo ... | tee -a file" is like "echo ... >> file" [18:34] hm. I'd like something that works if they're doing it the first time, or adding too (if they've added several ppas this way) === gary_poster-fud is now known as gary_poster === salgado-lunch is now known as salgado [19:15] hey, Why not all PPA repositories can be pinned using apt pinning? i.e. Not all of them has unique name like "v=9.04,o=LP-PPA-gtg,a=jaunty,l=Ubuntu,c=main"? [19:15] hmm.. forget it [19:57] hi, it seems launchpad has lost a file of mine. if you goto https://edge.launchpad.net/csl-l/trunk/littlestgoddess-1.1 and click the download link, you get a launchpad 404 page. anyone know whats happening? [19:57] Bug 404 on http://launchpad.net/bugs/404 is private [19:58] oh wait, it litterally started working again just now, perculiar [20:08] The launchpad map keeps putting my location in egypt [20:08] no matter how many times I put the market on Miami and hit save settings [20:08] *marker [20:11] Marco: not the worst bug in the world, but annoying. :-) Would you mind putting a bug in for Launchpad? Failing that, can you tell me your user name and browser, and I'll make a bug report, mentioning it (so the report has some concrete information)? [20:11] I'll gladly put in a bug [20:11]
