spO`hi01:07
spO`there is a default mplayer and there is a PPA lunchpad package mplayer that includes coreavc.... How do i install the last one instead of the default one?01:07
spmspO`: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/InstallingSoftware01:16
spO`thank you01:17
spmI think there are actually easier ways than that these days... but that will work01:17
spO`i put the urls in my apt.source or whatever, but it still downloads the default mplayer rather than the specific one from launchpad i think01:19
thumperspm: are you talking about 'sudo add-apt-repository ppa:goodness' ?01:19
spmthumper: that's it01:19
spmspO`: I'd assume the default one is a newer package number and hence overrides; you'd need to explictly force the ppa version01:20
spO`how do you do that?01:20

geserhow could it happen on wednesday when you fixed it on monday?09:47
bigjoolsgeser: I suspect the cowboyed change got removed, or the fix that was rolled out didn't work09:54

bigjoolsgeser: have you got a build page URL for that please?09:58
bigjoolsI see other successful builds so if there's a problem it's a different one09:59

wgrantbigjools: Do we know which store is being used to re-get the build?10:09
bigjoolsgeser: it's 2 days ago, I suspect it might be when the change was rolled out and there was a brief window w/o the cowboyed change in10:09

geserI didn't want to retry and lose any data you might need to debug this10:11

bigjoolsit was repeatable last time, so if it fails again we still have the problem10:11
geserbigjools: worked this time, so probably just a bad timing10:14

kklimondahey - why is lp:transmission only importing trunk serie from svn?16:13
exarkunHow do I mass-update all the "Fix Committed" bugs targetted at the milestone I just did a release for?16:36
bigjoolsit's easy if you use the API16:38
exarkun:(16:40
exarkunAnd impossible if I, a user, want to use the user interface?16:40
exarkunPerhaps someone already wrote and released a tool that uses the API which presents a UI.16:41
exarkunHm, I'm not having much luck with google finding such a tool, though.16:43
LarstiQexarkun: bzr.dev/tools/check-newsbugs.py is not exactly that, but maybe helpful?16:44
exarkunHm, I dunno how to resolve "bzr.dev"16:50
bdmurrayrocketfuel-setup keeps failing to make a bzr branch of the devel code for me16:51
exarkunOkay, I guess it's bzr, since I see there's a tools/check-newbugs.py there16:53
exarkunIs "launchpadbugs" a Python library that implements a client for the launchpad API (at least the bugs part of it)?16:55

ubottuLaunchpad bug 41702 in malone "Allow mass changing of bugs' statuses" [High,Triaged]16:57
* exarkun finds python-launchpadlib and python-launchpad-bugs16:59
bdmurraypython-launchpadbugs does not use the API so you likely don't want that17:01
exarkunI got a little excited when I saw the MODULE DOCS section in the output of `pydoc launchpadbugs`17:02
exarkun"A module with some real docs!" I thought17:02
exarkunHopes raised, only to be dashed.  How cruel.17:03

Ursinhabdmurray, what's the error message17:11
bdmurrayConnection closed by remote host.17:12
bdmurrayexarkun: what exactly do you want to do?17:15
exarkunI made a release.  I wanted to mark all the bugs it fixes as "Fix Released".17:17
exarkunIt's done now, I did it, there were only 15 bugs or so.17:17
exarkunI'll come back and complain again when I have to do another release.17:18
bdmurrayyou'd use something like task.transitionToStatus(status="Fix Released")17:18
exarkunI've never used the API, so that doesn't mean much to me.  Thanks anyway.17:18

DanielCHello. Is it possible to upload a file to launchpad without using bzr?19:42
LarstiQDanielC: in what sense?19:42
LarstiQDanielC: you can upload tarballs with translations, afaik19:43
hggdhwhen I change bug status via the email interface, do I receive an email back with confirmation?19:43
DanielCLarstiQ: I'm thinking of someone who wants to upload a zip file with a simple program but can't install bzr (e.g. a student in a school that refuses to install new software).19:43
bossekrhi; I've send the following email http://pastie.org/697716 to edig@bugs.lauchpad.net and hope it will work; I'm not a member of bugcontrol19:44
DanielCLarstiQ: We want to teach some kids about programming and open source. They'd write simple programs with JavaScript and upload them to Launchpad, so they get to learn a bit about what FOSS is about.19:44
LarstiQDanielC: that I do not know19:45
DanielCok19:45
LarstiQDanielC: however, bzr can run without being installed, just unpack the tarball and go19:45
LarstiQ(it will be faster if you can build the c extensions, but not required)19:45
DanielCthanks, I didn't know that.19:46
DanielCis that also true in Windows? is it also true for the GUI?19:46
LarstiQit's true in Windows, but it might require a little bit more effort to be nice (setting up %PATH%, %PATHEXT%, etc)19:47
LarstiQno clue about a/the GUI19:47
bossekrhow log will it take until I get a replay on my email send to edit@bugs.l.net ?19:47
DanielCLarstiQ: bzr is written in Python. I didn't think that Windows came with Python.19:47
LarstiQDanielC: oh bah19:48
DanielC?19:48
LarstiQDanielC: if the school won't install python, yeah, that's a blocker19:48
DanielCOk, thanks.19:48
* LarstiQ didn't realise that would be possible19:48
DanielCI don't know myself.19:48
LarstiQI mean, who doesn't want python available? :)19:48
DanielCI'm just exploring possible problems.19:49
DanielCheh19:49
LarstiQDanielC: one could upload releases to launchpad, but that's a bit cumbersome to development that way19:49
DanielCWe are currently in the "exploration" phase. We have some ideas, and we want to figure out what's possible and what might be a problem.19:49
DanielCFor a very small project (e.g. tic tac toe in JavaScript) it might not be a problem.19:50
DanielCCan you show me how to upload a release?19:50
LarstiQDanielC: https://help.launchpad.net/Projects/FileDownloads19:52
DanielC*click*19:52
DanielCthanks19:52
LarstiQDanielC: alternatively, if a Debian based system is available, you could use a PPA, but that's even more work (since the goal is to provide software packaged for Debian based systems)19:53
LarstiQDanielC: https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA19:53
LarstiQDanielC: could lead into a course on packaging software though :)19:53
DanielCI doubt there will be any schools running Debian which are also unwilling to just install bzr.19:53
* LarstiQ nods19:54

bossekrdo I need one space more (column 2) ?20:05
LarstiQbossekr: I don't see any indentation on that email, so yeah, one more20:06
bossekrLarstiQ, should this work http://pastie.org/697766 ?20:08
LarstiQbossekr: I think so20:09
bossekrLarstiQ, email is out20:10

LarstiQhggdh: I agree (and am just a user, not an lp dev)20:15

bossekrkfogel, the examples about edit@bugs.launchpad.net at https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/EmailInterface20:27
kfogelrockstar, LarstiQ: andrea corbellini made it say so on aug 820:27

bossekrkfogel, is signing of the message required at all ?20:29
LarstiQbossekr: yes20:29
LarstiQbossekr: see "Before you start"20:29
kfogelbossekr: I think not.  But, it must come from a launchpad-known addr, I think.20:29
kfogelLarstiQ: oh, it does claim that, huh?20:29
kfogelLarstiQ: maybe that's true, but ISTR not.  I could be wrong.20:30
LarstiQkfogel: Now I don't know what to believe :)20:30
kfogelI actually don't use the bug tracker email interface that much.  What's needed here is some testing :-).20:30
bossekrkfogel, fine but https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/EmailInterface#What%20to%20expect%20when%20you%20submit%20an%20email talks about "three minutes" and I'm waiting longer20:31
bossekrkfogel, it would be helpful to get email if someting is missunderstood by edit@bugs.l.net...20:31
bossekrkfogel, I would need someone with access to the logs because I'm trying and trying and trying without success20:32
kfogelbossekr: can you file a bug report on what exactly is going on?  that's the best way we can trace the problem.20:32

tonyyarussoUm, wow.  So I'm trying to establish the plural forms for a language so I can file the proper ticket to add them to Rosetta.  I got the following as a response, and I'm wondering if this is sufficient to submit, or what I should try to follow up on, as it's rather complicated.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/318152/21:10
LarstiQtonyyarusso: oh boy :)21:14
tonyyarussoya rly21:15
kfogeltonyyarusso: looking21:15
kfogeltonyyarusso: thank you for ruining my day :-)21:15
tonyyarussoYou're welcome :)21:16
sladentonyyarusso: that makes Finnish look simple...21:25
tonyyarussoIt might be simpler than it looks from a Rosetta perspective though - does Rosetta just need to know how many boxes to present, or does it try to do some things automatically with the data later?21:29
LarstiQsladen: but it is!21:29
sladenLarstiQ: :)21:47
sladenwho's on the SWAT team and can do something about bug #48238222:03
ubottuLaunchpad bug 482382 in malone "Runaway Launchpad bug dups create "Unsubscribe Me Too!" hell" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/48238222:03
henningetonyyarusso: gettext (and therefore rosetta) is only concerned about how many plural form there are and for which number of objects each is used.22:06
tonyyarussohenninge: Could you elaborate a little on what that means for my situation?  I haven't started using Rosetta yet, so I'm not really sure how it uses the information.22:07
henningetonyyarusso: "how many" is only dependent on the *number* of objects, not on any other attribute the objects might have.22:07
LarstiQie, gettext is unable to represent languages for which purely the number is not enough?22:09
henningeLarstiQ: I don't understand that question.22:10
sladensurely in this case, for any word (in any particular situation, or any gender), there are only two versions  (== 1, or != 1)22:11
LarstiQsladen: ah, right22:11
tonyyarussosladen: That's what I would think; I'm just trying to make sure Rosetta doesn't try to do anything smarter with it.22:11
sladenso LP needs to show two boxes, and the particular user doing the translation is themselves away of the syntax requirements of that instance22:11
sladens/away/aware/22:12
henningetonyyarusso, sladen, LarstiQ: No, rosetta is not trying anything smarter. It's just about the number of input boxes.22:19
tonyyarussommkay22:19
henningegettext uses the plural expression to pick one22:20
henningeI think the missunderstanding here is that many people don't realise that other languages have more than one plural22:20
henningelike polish or serbian, which have two plurals22:20
henningeto gettext, that means 3 plural forms (one singular, two plural)22:21
henningefor example, singular may be used for one object, the first plural is used for two, twelve, 22, etc objects and the second plural form for all other numbers.22:22
henninge(polish and serbian is different but I don't konw the exact rule)22:22
henningearabic has six plurals, I think.22:23
henningetonyyarusso: anyway, in your case it's simply "2" for the number of plural forms (singular + one plural) and "n!=1" for the expression, meaning any number of objects that is not 1 uses the plural (including zero).22:25
henningetonyyarusso: that is what I gather from the discussion.22:25
tonyyarussoSounds right, thanks.22:27
tonyyarussoI can always adjust it later if one of my translators says otherwise.22:27
sladenderyck: ta for acking that;  who can actually do something about it?22:32
derycksladen, intellectronica and I are sprinting this week.  and having a conversation in an hour about what we can do on this.22:34
