Nafallohi. anyone around for changing the repo of a vcs-import?00:19
wgrantbeuno: Doing a side-by-side comparison of old vs. new bug pages, the sprite changes have moved some of the icons a few pixels out of their ideal locations. They've less padding in some cases, more in others, and are off centre in places too (particularly person links).00:50
LCID_FireIs anyone able to explain the differences of debian binary to source packages?00:54
wgrantLCID_Fire: Source packages are built to produce binary packages.00:55
wgrantOr do you mean technical differences?00:55
LCID_Firewgrant: in detail I mean why are scripts not allowed in source packages? There is no way (AFAIK) to generate them...00:56
wgrantLCID_Fire: What do you mean?00:58
wgrantThere are normally lots of scripts in a source package. But what in particular are you talking about?00:59
LCID_Firewgrant: I have a package which is IMO "source". PPA complains it is "binary" due to scripts included. And I just don't get why, how, ...01:00
wgrantLCID_Fire: Erm... that has nothing to do with scripts.01:00
wgrantLCID_Fire: Can you pastebin the error message?01:00
LCID_FireIt says: "Upload rejected because it contains binary packages" - it fucks up somewhere in the flow of autotools, debianize and what not - I am so $%&§ confused01:03
wgrantLCID_Fire: How did you build the package?01:03
wgrantAnd how did you run dput?01:03
LCID_Fire"git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new" and then dput ../*.changes01:04
wgrantLCID_Fire: What is before the .changes?01:04
=== Ursinha is now known as Ursinha-afk
LCID_Firewgrant: e.g. areca_7.1.2_amd6401:04
wgrantLCID_Fire: The _amd64 is your problem. You are uploading an amd64 binary package, as well as a source package.01:05
wgrantLCID_Fire: Try adding -S to the git-buildpackage options, to force it to only build source.01:05
wgrantThen upload the _source.changes.01:05
LCID_Firethere is no _source.changes01:06
wgrantLCID_Fire: There is if you build with -S...01:06
LCID_Firewgrant: you are right - and I am pissed that -S is not documented :(01:09
wgrantLCID_Fire: It's documented in all of the documentation that I know of.01:09
wgranthttps://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA#Building in particular.01:09
wgrantBut it's also in the manpages of the tools that build the packages.01:10
LCID_Fireman git-buildpackage does not say anything01:10
wgrantgit-buildpackages is a wrapper, so I wouldn't expect it to.01:10
LCID_FireI would01:10
wgrantIt just passes all of the options through to debuild or dpkg-buildpackage, so that would be pretty strange.01:11
wgrantGiven that its manpage would have to track dpkg-buildpackage changes.01:11
LCID_Firebtw: should I wonder when the generated tar.gz is the same as before?01:11
wgranttar.gz, or orig.tar.gz?01:11
LCID_Firethere is no orig.tar.gz01:12
wgrantDid you intend to build a native package?01:12
LCID_FireI just want to upload the $%&§ package to ppa - and it turns out to be an epic struggle01:13
wgrant(also, from git-buildpackage's manpage:01:13
wgrant       · Call debuild(1) (or the application specified via --git-builder) with arguments instructing it to ignore Git meta-data in the diff.gz, passing along all arguments given to git-buildpackage that don’t start with --git-.01:13
wgrant)01:13
wgrantLCID_Fire: Nobody ever said packaging was trivial, I don't believe.01:13
LCID_Firewgrant: yes but it should not be that hard!01:13
wgrantAnyway, this is well into the realm of #ubuntu-motu, rather than here.01:14
wgrantAnd I need to have breakfast.01:14
LCID_Fireok, thanks so far01:14
LCID_Firein man git-buildpackage  it says: git-buildpackage will, * Build an orig.tar.gz if it doesn't exist.01:18

etankanyone reporting issues with registering gpg keys in launchpad?02:17
etanki entered my fingerprint about 5 hours ago and never got the email to decrypt to finish the process02:18
etanki even set a different email address for it to try to send to02:19
etankstill nothing yet02:19
etankany ideas?02:44
wgrantetank: A few other people have reported delayed emails.02:47
etankhow long of a delay?02:47
wgrantetank: The other person who complained about OpenPGP confirmation emails said he didn't have it after half an hour, and never reported that it had come...02:48
etankhmm. thats no good02:49
etanki know that i waited for 5 hours and still no email02:49
wgrantetank: Ask a question at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion, perhaps.02:49
etanki updated a question there a few minutes ago02:49
wgrantWhere?02:50

jmlSamB, at 2am, I never have any idea :)02:54
etankits an old on but https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/2806802:56
wgrantetank: It's really not a good idea to hijack questions like that. I'd suggest asking a new one, or it's likely to get lost.02:57
etanki felt that the question was somewhat relevant02:57
etanki can ask a new one though02:57
wgrantIt's not really relevant, and it is closed, so it's never going to get looked at.02:58
SamBjml: oh, you're one of those crazy australlians who's completely on the wrong side of the clock ?02:59

MTecknologyHow can I change the project a branch is associated with?05:52
MTecknologydo I need to make a new banch?05:53
wgrantMTecknology: I believe the UI for moving branches was removed ~2.2.5. You might be able to do it through the API, but I'm not sure.05:56
MTecknologyalrighty. I can just branch/push/delete05:57
MTecknologydo you know why it was pulled?05:57
wgrantNo.05:57
wgrantBut my guess is that it was probably something to do with the UI needing to be more complex to accomodate source package branches.05:58
wgrantAnd since it's such a rare action...05:58
MTecknologyya. I just noticed a lot of branches I have are assigned to the wrong project05:58
MTecknologygr, I thought tinying things up was going to be easy but I made a mess05:59
wgrantMTecknology: You can do it easily through the API, if you want.06:02
wgrant(I just tried it)06:02
MTecknologyhow do I do that?06:03
MTecknologysomehow https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-drupal-theme-devs/ubuntu-drupal-theme/6.x is showing up under https://code.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-drupal-releases06:03
wgrantMTecknology: Do you know how to use launchpadlib?06:03
MTecknologyno06:03
wgrantMTecknology: Install python-launchpadlib, and see https://help.launchpad.net/API/launchpadlib#Getting%20started. Once you get past the auth stage, I'll tell you what to do.06:05
MTecknologythanks06:05
MTecknologywgrant: any ideas why it's showing up like that?06:05
wgrantMTecknology: Make sure you replace STAGING with EDGE in that example06:06
wgrantMTecknology: It's because it's set as the series branch.06:06
MTecknologyoh06:06
wgranthttps://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-drupal-releases/6.x/+edit06:07
MTecknologythanks :)06:07
wgrantChange the branch there to something else.06:07
wgrantAnd it will go away.06:07
MTecknology:D06:07
MTecknologywgrant: why can't we remove blueprints?06:19
wgrantMTecknology: No idea.06:19
MTecknologycan I attach it to a person instead of a project?06:20
wgrantA blueprint? No. That wouldn't make sense.06:20
MTecknologyI just want to get rid of it :P06:20
wgrantMark it Obsolete.06:21
MTecknologykirkland: ({)06:21
MTecknologywrong channel - that wasn't bitlbee :P06:21
MTecknologykirkland: sorry06:23
MTecknologywgrant: If I retarget a blueprint for a different project, will the karma go with it?06:26
wgrantMTecknology: I don't think so, but I couldn't be sure.06:28
MTecknologywgrant: k, I just wanted to know if the karma would be attached to the other project. I have no idea how karma is actually assigned06:29
MTecknologyanyway, time for work06:31
MTecknologywgrant: thanks for the help :)06:31
wgrantMTecknology: No problem.06:31
MTecknologywgrant: last question - is it possible to rename a project?06:33
MTecknologyor only teams?06:33
wgrantMTecknology: An admin can rename the project for you.06:33
MTecknologyyou mean a rubber ducky?06:34
MTecknology:P06:34
wgrantYes.06:34
MTecknologyI'll file a request when I get off work06:34
MTecknologythanks again06:34
wgrantnp06:34
MTecknologywgrant: nvm - I asked it.06:37
MTecknologyI'm sure it'll be you to take care of it since you're around now. Thanks in advance if you do. Time to run06:37

nelleryis it possible to change the key a PPA is signed with?08:37
lifelessnellery: I imagine the sysadmins can, if there is a problem with it.08:58
lifelessnellery: if you actually mean 'can you choose the key', the answer is no.08:58
nellerylifeless: thanks08:59
lifelessyou can however, sign the key that is used to sign PPA builds08:59
lifelessif you want to certify it. This is effectively the same as it being your key [except you can't sign things with it yourself]09:00
