persiaIs there something wonky with bazaar.lp.net today?  I'm not getting the expected revision 61 when clicking for details from https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/netbook.lucid .00:13
mwhudsonpersia: that does look pretty wonky00:15
spivThat's reading at least 7.5 wonks on my finely calibrated wonkometer.00:16
mwhudsonpersia: there seems to be some disagreement on how many revisions there are in that branch00:16
wgrantImpressive.00:16
persiaSo this is a problem with the branch, or with the hosting service?00:16
spivmwhudson: they look like different ancestries, really00:16
mwhudsonpersia, spiv: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/netbook.lucid/.bzr/branch/last-revision looks wrong00:16
spivmwhudson: oh, hmm.00:16
mwhudsonthere is a bzr bug where the last revno goes wrong00:17
mwhudsonpersia: branch00:17
persiaAh, good.  That's easier to fix.00:17
mwhudsoni think reconcile will fix it00:17
persiaSo just reconcile and push?00:17
mwhudsonoh hm00:18
mwhudsonspiv: help persia? i'm on a call :)00:18
spivok00:19
spivpersia: I'm just confirming that mwhudson's hypothesis is correct00:20
persiaspiv: OK.  I'll arrange for a reconcile and push :)00:22
spivpersia: thanks.  I think that is almost certainly the issue FWIW00:24
persiaWell, with luck it will be worth at least 7.5 wonks.00:26
spivpersia: I'd love to know how that branch got to that state, but I think I'm out of luck there...00:26
persiaspiv: Does pulling the branch change the state?  Or is there something more complex involved?00:27
spivpersia: pulling does change the branch being pulled from, no.00:27
spivEr,00:27
persiaFor instance, would it be useful to try to get the last committer to perform some actions locally to try to identify how it got that way?00:27
spiv*does not*00:27
spivMy typing is terrible today.00:27
persiaSo, shouldn't it be possible to check the history to determine how the state was reached from a branch?00:27
spivpersia: yes, possibly00:28
spivWe don't record the history of branch states; that would be meta-history if you see what I mean.00:28
spivWe track mundane things like "revision Y follows revision X" ;)00:28
persiaAha.  Yes, that might make it tricky to get the state.00:28
spivThere may be some clues in the code hosting log files, but the server-side logging at the moment is largely useless :/00:30
spivIdeally we'd discover that someone with an ancient version of bzr did a push/commit that did that, and thus we could just assume that it's a bug we've fixed ;)00:31
spivMy guess is some sort of transient issue relating to stacking.00:31
spivBut I really have no idea.00:32
spivpersia: actually, one thought that does occur...00:35
spivpersia: there's a good chance that whoever updated that branch on Launchpad with the wrong revno has a similarly afflicted branch or heavyweight checkout locally.00:35
spivpersia: which would a) maybe give some clues about the environment that caused it, b) be something to find and fix in case they break it again :)00:36
spivAlthough I'm a little surprised bzr let them override the revno like that... in at least some cases it would require a --overwrite flag to do that.00:37
persiaRight.  Shall I ask them to archive it somewhere, and file a bug for investigation?00:37
spiv(and if it doesn't that's a whole other bug!)00:37
spivpersia: maybe ask them to capture their ~/.bzr.log and ~/.bzr.log.old00:37
persiaI'll even ask them to stop by here and say something :)00:38
persia(debugging by proxy is tricky)00:38
spivThe branch itself... probably not important, although maybe what the branch.conf says about stacking would be interesting.00:38
spivCertainly there's no harm except disk space in archiving it ;)00:38
spivI fear there's a good chance that the cause won't be evident in what's left on disk, though :/00:39
spivHopefully I'm wrong.00:39
persiaIndeed.  It would be good to be able to make sure this doesn't happen again.00:40
spivYeah.00:42
spivI wonder if setting the append_revisions_only flag in the branch on LP would help?00:42
mwhudsoniirc the bzr bug was something to do with merging into an empty tree00:45

StevenKHi. I'm noticing some strange behaviour with edge. Browsing to https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/netbook.lucid gives me the right history for the bzr branch, but clicking revision 61 doesn't give the right information03:10
crimsunwelcome to three hours ago03:12
crimsun(see http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/12/23/%23launchpad.txt)03:13
mwhudsonStevenK: the branch is busticated somehow03:21
mwhudsonStevenK: all the data is there, so if you branch it and then maybe reconcile it, it'll be ok03:22
StevenKmwhudson: My copy here is a checkout, I can do it on a bound branch?03:22
mwhudsonhm, don't know03:23
mwhudsoni doubt it would be harmful03:23
* StevenK branches a fresh copy03:23
mwhudsonthe damage is (probably) only "cosmetic" in that the revnos are a bit messed up03:23
StevenKFixing last revision info 61 => 142403:24
StevenKI should just push that into LP?03:24
mwhudsonStevenK: yes, though i guess the scanner won't look at it again until a new revision is pushed03:30
=== stub1 is now known as stub
StevenKmwhudson: I can't push it, there is no new revisions to push03:32
mwhudsonStevenK: you can probably uncommit one revision in your checkout, wait a minute or so for lp to notice and then push from your reconciled branch03:34
StevenKmwhudson: Hah, nasty.03:35
mwhudsonyeah03:35
spivStevenK: I'd love to know how you got your checkout into that state03:38
StevenKspiv: I have no idea :-/03:38
* spiv nods03:38
spivStevenK: care to mail me your ~/.bzr.log and ~/.bzr.log.old, just in case?03:38

noodles775tommytomtom: was that the changes file that didn't have a binary field?09:43
* noodles775 checks log from yesterday - as there were a few upload issues.09:43
wgranttommytomtom: Did you see the problems that were mentioned in here about 22 hours ago?09:43
wgrantYour debian/control file has several problems.09:44
tommytomtomnoodles775:  ok.  how do I get the "binary field".. No I did not see the problems.09:44
noodles775<noodles775> geser: thomas , al-maisan : yay, we can get the exception info on dogfood: Unable to find mandatory field 'binary' in the changes file. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/344696/09:44
tommytomtomwgrant:  what do I need to add to the control file?09:44
wgranttommytomtom: That control file looks like you've taken it from a binary package. Is that correct?09:45
tommytomtomwgrant: no, I have deperately contructed it from partially the package-docs on lauchpad and other packages and then finally all the complaints from lintian09:47
wgranttommytomtom: The packaging documentation will not lead you to construct a debian/control that looks like that.09:47
tommytomtomwgrant:  it is you could say, a work of art09:47
wgranttommytomtom: Which documentation did you read?09:48
tommytomtomwgrant: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Basic09:49
tommytomtomwgrant: is that the correct place for packaging docs?09:49
tommytomtomwgrant: then of course lintian complained a lot so I made ajustments for lintian09:50
wgranttommytomtom: It is. I suggest that you reread https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Basic#control.09:50

tommytomtomwgrant: right away I see a problem with the documentation.  it says "Architecture: any" and I tried with that and it did not work.  I had to change to "Architecture: all"09:53
wgranttommytomtom: Either is OK.09:53
wgranttommytomtom: Look at the list of fields just below.09:53
wgrantThat 'any' didn't work for you is because of larger problems with your control file. Check the explanations of each value to work out which you need.09:54
tommytomtomwgrant: ok... working...09:54
tommytomtomwgrant: Ok.  recompiled everything with both dpkg-buildpackage -S and debuild -S .  I used both because dpkg-buildpackage did not create the .asc file.  debuild worked fine but it gave some errors http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/345245/  could you please check to see if the errors are "ignorable"10:12

wgranttommytomtom: lintian -Iiv lazy8ledger_2.24-0ubuntu1_source.changes10:15
tommytomtomOk. If I add debhelper to the build depends..10:15
wgranttommytomtom: If you run lintian like that, it will give you more verbose explanations.10:16
wgrantBut this discussion is probably better suited to #ubuntu-motu, now that the Soyuz bug has been identified.10:16
tommytomtomwgrant: looks much better now.  I just get a warning on a watch file.  Do most packages have a watch file???10:38
