RenatoSilvaWhat's the purpose of "triaged" and "in progress" bug status?01:01
idnarI think "in progress" means somebody is working on it01:03
RenatoSilvaon a separate branch? so fix committed is when it's in trunk, right?01:04
idnarI think fix committed just means a fix has been committed somewhere, maybe a branch01:05
idnarbut ICBW01:05
idnarif you're working on the bug, then you won't have committed the fix yet (otherwise you would be finished working on it)01:05
wgrantFix Committed is meant to be when it's in trunk, or a series branch, or something similar. Not just that a fix exists.01:07
wgrantIn Progress is when somebody is working on it.01:07
wgranthttps://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/Statuses01:08
RenatoSilvathat is, there are commits about it, but not the final commit that fixes it01:08
ScottKExcept of course for the projects where it doesn't mean that.01:08
wgrantHence "is meant to be"01:09
wgrantThe way Ubuntu does things (particularly with the sponsorship mess) is, IMO, crazy and wrong.01:10
RenatoSilvaI read the page, it seems triaged == confirmed01:11
RenatoSilvaScottK: and would mean what then01:12
ScottKDepends on the project01:12
wgrantTriaged implies that somebody qualified has looked at the bug, and it wasn't entirely confirmed by a pack of crazy users.01:12
ScottKFor the Ubuntu Backports project "In Progress" means that it's been approved for backporting and is waiting to be processed.01:12
RenatoSilvawhy open all those status to the users it seems no sense01:13
wgrantRenatoSilva: Users can be developers.01:13
RenatoSilvamainly the fix committed, as not all users have access to the trunk, obviously01:13
ScottKFix Committed might be upstream.01:13
RenatoSilvacan be, but are not always01:14
RenatoSilvaupstream01:14
RenatoSilva?01:14
wgrantScottK: Ubuntu's use of Fix Committed is an abuse to work around Launchpad limitations.01:14
wgrantIt is completely wrong.01:14
RenatoSilvabrb01:14
ScottKwgrant: Only to the extent one believes that the developers of Launchpad are better at defining the workflow for distro developers than they are.01:15
RenatoSilvawell, I don't see no reason confirmed would be anything different from triagged, from that page01:15
wgrantScottK: If the fix is upstream, it probably needs work to get it into the distro.01:15
wgrantScottK: If I see a Fix Committed bug, I am going to ignore it.01:15
wgrantIt is going to become much messier once Ubuntu is using bzr.01:16
wgrantBecause then Fix Committed will be used for its real meaning.01:16
ScottKwgrant: Sure, but otherwise Fix Committed is meaningless except for in the interval between upload the the packages being built/publised and it's already marked fix released then anyway01:16
wgrantScottK: Because Ubuntu didn't use version control.01:17
RenatoSilvaif we release the targeted milestone, do all the bugs get status changed to fix released automatically?01:17
wgrantRenatoSilva: No.01:17
wgrantBut there are scripts to do that.01:17
RenatoSilvawgrant: didn't?? since when?01:17
ScottKwgrant: What's the difference between upstream and shoved in a branch somewhere?01:17
RenatoSilvawgrant: how to run these scripts01:18
wgrantRenatoSilva: Download and run them. I don't know where they live.01:18
RenatoSilvaTriaged: the bug supervisor considers that the bug report contains all information a developer needs to start work on a fix.01:18
RenatoSilvaConfirmed: a member of the community other than the original reporter believes that this report describes a genuine bug in enough detail that a developer could start work on a fix.01:18
RenatoSilva^^^ these are the same to me01:18
RenatoSilvawgrant: ok01:18
wgrantScottK: If it's in the Ubuntu branch, it's going to be in the next published version.01:18
ScottKRenatoSilva: Confirmed means the bug exists.  Triaged means you probably know how to fix it.01:19
ScottKwgrant: Once we're doing bzr for real, in the Ubuntu branch will be the same as after you upload now.01:20
RenatoSilvawgrant: confirmed - his report describes a genuine bug in enough detail that a developer could start work on a fix.01:20
RenatoSilvaScottK: ^^^01:20
RenatoSilvawgrant: sorry was for ScottK01:20
wgrantScottK: It will, but there will probably be intermediate commits.01:20
ScottKwgrant: Not in the Ubuntu branch, if I understand it correctly.01:20
ScottKIt'll be to other places for review.01:21
ScottKGotta run.01:21
RenatoSilvaScottK: now I see the diff, triaged is the same as confirmed, but done by bug supervisor, not a regular user01:21
wgrantRenatoSilva: Pretty much.01:21
RenatoSilvaI still don't see much sense in opening some status for all users01:22
wgrantRenatoSilva: I set my bugs to Fix Committed when my Launchpad branches are merged.01:22
wgrantI have no special powers over Launchpad.01:22
wgrantBut I need to do it.01:22
RenatoSilvawgrant: the bugs you opened? I think it's the developers' work01:23
wgrantRenatoSilva: No, the bugs I fixed.01:23
RenatoSilvawgrant: ok then, but I mean, most or all status of the bugs should be controlled only by the team of the targeted projects01:24
wgrantRenatoSilva: Why? Is this actually causing a problem?01:25
RenatoSilvawgrant: maybe you created a personal branch that fixes the bug, but it's not fixed in trunk, so you should not change the status yet, the problem is that you can, and that's weird01:25
wgrantOccasionally some random does something wrong. You just beat them over the head and they don't do it again.01:25
RenatoSilvawgrant: it's non-sense01:25
wgrantWhat is?01:25
RenatoSilvawgrant: it this by any chance meant to give the users to work on status updating?01:26
RenatoSilvawgrant: and set the developers free from this "boring" or secundary task?01:26
RenatoSilvawgrant: let the users control bug status is non-sense01:26
wgrantRenatoSilva: For larger projects, that is absolutely critical.01:26
wgrantWhy is it nonsense?01:26
wgrantAs long as they don't do anything bad, it can only be good.01:27
RenatoSilvawho knows the status is who is fixing it01:27
RenatoSilvaworking on it01:27
wgrantThere are several statuses involved before anybody starts fixing anything.01:27
RenatoSilvanot who is waiting for a solution, not "every user in LP"01:27
wgrantDoes this actually cause a signifiant problem?01:28
wgrantIt does provide significant benefits, and I'm not sure it's actually a big problem.01:28
RenatoSilvamaybe no, this doesn't give sense to it at all though01:29
RenatoSilvawgrant: what are the benefits, have users working on the status, not the devs?01:29
wgrantWhy limit something beneficial if it's not causing problems?01:29
RenatoSilvawhat are the benefits01:29
wgrantRenatoSilva: Interested users can help with triaging bugs.01:30
RenatoSilvacan't see01:30
wgrantAnd take load off developers.01:30
RenatoSilvawgrant: ok, so I could ask a friend to do that :P01:30
wgrantIt helps tremendously in Ubuntu.01:30
RenatoSilvaI understand it wgrant, hopefully there's no vandalism01:31
wgrantAgain, if there is vandalism then it's easy enough to revert and either educate or ban the offender.01:31
RenatoSilvaok wgrant, thanks for explaining, it really makes sense now. For large projects at least01:32
RenatoSilvaso, I won't use confirmed anymore on the bugs assigned to me.01:33
RenatoSilvathanks everybody :)01:36

thekornjuliux: you can't upload the same version of a package twice to a PPA11:18
thekornjuliux: you should also always append something like ~ppa1 to the package version of a package in a PPA11:19
thekornand then you can just increase ~ppa... if you need to upload a new version11:20
maxbA couple of general guidelines for version numbers:11:23
maxbTry to avoid ones which look like they could be official Ubuntu packages11:23
maxbAnd, it's seldom the right thing to do to have more than one '-' in a version11:23

SiDiWhats the magic word to prevent +filebug/ to redirect me, please ?11:24

RenatoSilvawhy do we need a translation group for managing translations? why can't we create a team and assing to that team the management?12:41
henningeRenatoSilva: The idea is that you have a team per language and all these teams are managed by the translation group.13:10
=== sayakb_ is now known as sayakb
henningeRenatoSilva: Please talk to Adi Roiban about the exiting Launchpad Translation Group instead of setting up your own.13:11
=== henninge is now known as henninge-afk
RenatoSilvahenninge: I want to create my own team with people I trust. I don't want to automatically trust in generic "lang-xyz translations"13:11
RenatoSilvahenninge-afk: I don't want to set up a translation group, well actually I want, because it's one group per language13:12
RenatoSilvahenninge-afk: can't understand why can't we create our trusted groups though13:12
henninge-afkRenatoSilva: Your "trusted groups" per language are teams that you can setup yourself.13:13
RenatoSilvahenninge-afk: someone changed the translation in my project a few hours ago, but the strings were already translated. I reverted the translation and unset the group for avoiding it13:14
RenatoSilvahenninge-afk: and how to asssing the team to a .po?13:14
henninge-afkRenatoSilva: We can setup a translation group and make you  the owner.13:15
RenatoSilvahenninge-afk: there are only groups to set13:15
RenatoSilvahenninge-afk: that's what I mean, it should be open to anyone13:15
henninge-afkRenatoSilva: I have to run out now. Please file a question here https://bugs.launchpad.net/rosetta13:15

arianitin lp13:25
arianitanyone?13:28
arianitcan I translate OpenOffice downstream directly?13:35
=== henninge-afk is now known as henninge
henningearianit: please translate OpenOffice upstream13:41
henningearianit: only Ubuntu-specific adaptions would be done in Launchpad13:41
arianithenninge, lp is so much better and that's where the community is. we can always push it upstream and sun guys are taking time to set it up13:42
henningearianit: IF you make sure the translations get submitted back upstream you COULD use Launchpad, I guess.13:43
henningearianit: but you should still coordinate with the i10n team at OpenOffice.org so that they know about it.13:44
henningeNah, make that "COULD" a "can" ... ;-)13:45
arianithenninge, sure13:45
henningearianit: that is for a specific language that OpenOffice is not yet translated into, right?13:45
arianitthe only problem is I can't find OOo packages at OOo13:45
arianithenninge: correct13:46
arianitcorrection, at ubuntu13:46
henningeOpenOffice has  *a lot* of packages in Ubuntu ...13:47
henningearianit: but if you want to do what we just talked about, you should use this project to do the translation:13:48
henningehttps://translations.launchpad.net/openoffice13:48
henningearianit: 1. Do translations there in LP, 2. Submit the po files back upsteam 3. wait for them to make their way back into Ubuntu.13:49
arianithow do I know which ones are OpenOffice13:49
henningearianit: what do you mean?13:50
arianityes, so I have to talk to Chris Cheney first13:50
arianitI wanted to translate OOo in Ubuntu13:50
arianitthat way there is nothing to setup. does it make sense?13:51
arianitit's likely Chris Cheney will say go upstream13:51
