blueyedI'd like to donate some CPU cycles of my server to the PPA build system. Is this possible (and easy to setup)?00:21
blueyedIt's really bad to have to wait 1h+ for a build to even start.00:22
mwhudsonno00:22
blueyed~400 now in the i386 queue.. :/00:22
blueyedok. good to know at least.00:22
mwhudsonthere's something of a trust issue there :)00:22
blueyednormally I'm building nginx backports on my server, just for me, and put the .deb somewhere. Now I've being asked to use PPA and have to wait for it to even start building so long.00:23
blueyedkk00:23
blueyedtoo bad.00:23
blueyedAre there plans to throw more hardware at it?00:23
wgrantThere normally is lots more hardware on it.00:24
wgrantBut it seems to be missing at the moment.00:24
blueyedhum.. I _always_ have to wait a lot for builds to finish/start.00:25
blueyedofficial builds appear to be reasonable now, but for PPA there is always too much in the queue.00:25
wgrantWhen there are larger numbers of builders (which is most of the time), my builds start within seconds.00:25
blueyedyou might want to monitor the queue using munin or collectd btw.. ^^00:25
blueyedhow many builders can there be for i386.. I've never seen 6+ (in the numbers of 10+). Is this the case recently?=00:26
wgrantI've seen 12.00:27
blueyedit's too bad btw that the official hppa builders are "idle" currently (and prolly most of the time), while they could help out with other archs.00:28
blueyedbut anyway.. </rant>00:28
wgrantblueyed: How could hppa builders help out with other archs?00:28
blueyedyay.. i386 started building my package! ;)00:28
blueyedwgrant: with virtualization.00:28
wgrantblueyed: They are the most ridiculously slow machines in the DC, I suspect.00:29
wgrantThey are already the slowest buildds, and adding virtualisation on top of that doesn't seem like a very good idea.00:29
blueyedI'm not really into this, but my idea is to have just a pool of CPU cycles and use this for the pools that require it.00:30
blueyedyay. build finished. 1+ hour waiting, 5 minutes building.00:31

RenatoSilvaHow is karma calculated?01:55
spivRenatoSilva: https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/Karma01:56
RenatoSilva"After twelve months an action no longer counts towards your karma. "01:58
nhandlerRenatoSilva: In other words, you lose the karma you gained for that action01:58
RenatoSilvathis means that your karma can get to zero if you leave lp?01:58
spivRenatoSilva: right01:58
RenatoSilvaI don't like it01:58
RenatoSilvathen karma is just the "current state" of one's colaboration, not all the time01:59
spivWell, recent state.01:59
RenatoSilvaimho there should be some sort of static karma02:00
RenatoSilvadon't you think so02:00
spivWell, karma isn't really used for anything, so I don't see much point to making it more complicated.02:01
RenatoSilvaspiv: why comlicated?02:02
spivYou're asking for long term karma in addition to the existing karma, AIUI... that sounds more complicated than the status quo to me.02:02
lifelessRenatoSilva: if you just have static karma, then someone who does a lot three years ago will take *3 years* for someone doing the same amount to catch up to02:04
RenatoSilvaspiv: I thought the karma was your total points over the time, I didn't know that it would expire. Maybe other people think so, it's not an obvious behavior.02:04
lifelesseven if the first personal has totally stopped doing stuff02:04
lifelessthat would be very demotivating02:04
spmlifeless: based on how freshmeat calculates relevance, it certainly is02:05
spmdemotivating as in02:05
spmprojects that were created 10+ years ago, and have done diddly since are "more relevant" than ones that have been pumping releases the past 2-3 years. that's broken badly imho.02:05
spmRenatoSilva: so based on my experiences with a long term karma, I totally disagree with the concept.02:06
spmit encuorages too much a "rest on laurels" attitude. whereas, IMHO :-) FOSS should be more about - what have you done *today*.02:07
RenatoSilvaok02:08
spivRenatoSilva: is the issue just that you were surprised?  If so then perhaps we can simply make that help page more discoverable, perhaps add a link to /people/+me/+karma02:08
RenatoSilvamaybe in the profile page, having a tip'explaining that the karma if for recent activity, that would be enougth02:09
RenatoSilvaI did not realize that the karma is volatile02:10
RenatoSilvajust a suggestion02:10
RenatoSilvaI like the idea of a total score tough, just for reference02:20
spivRenatoSilva: well, file bugs :)02:23
lifelessRenatoSilva: I think it would be psyschologically problematic to have a non-decayed karma figure02:27
lifelessnot to mention that we can't calculate it02:27
lifelesskarma is normalised by what other people are doing, its not a fixed value02:27
RenatoSilvait takes 1 year to the karma get zero'ed, right?02:29
RenatoSilvaMaybe extend the period...02:30
wgrantWhy? A year isn't bad.02:30
wgrantWhy would anything else be better?02:30
RenatoSilvawhy not?02:31

marsMFen, that is a bit out of scope for the project.  Our developers tend to use Tomboy notes or Remember The Milk for quick ToDo management23:27
MFeni use tomboy, but it's barely adequate.  i'm really not sure it is out of scope. lots of systems that are or contain bug trackers have todo functionality23:28
marsTodos are one of those applications where speed pays off, and IMHO no web app runs fast enough to overcome that23:28
MFen(RtM is a web app?)23:28
marsyes, but I find I want to use a desktop application with a bridge to it :)23:28
marsbut that is just personal preference23:29
MFeni get that.23:29
MFenmars: ubuntu?23:31

marsFor Todos?  I just use Tomboy notes.  There is a RtM plugin for them, but I never got around to installing it.23:33
