arandSo to report spam you just create a question entry in LP?01:27
wgrantarand: That works.01:30
arandHmm, seems like it isn't highly relevant at the moment but I think at some point there might be a need for a "report spam comment"-button or similar...01:32
arandreported to https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/95497 if anyone is interested.01:34

rippsHas launchpad implemented download counters for ppa's yet? It would be useful to know how many hardy users are using my ppa, so I can consider removing hardy packages from it or not.14:49

* popey is cleaning out planet.ubuntu.com config.ini20:37
popeydon't think anyone has ever done this20:37
elmopopey: speaking of that; it is in bzr, any reason to keep them in there but commented out?  if someone wants to resurrect one you cull, it's in bzr history20:37
popey3 hours of my life I'll never have again20:37
popeyfair point20:37
popeyi plan to tidy the ini up in a bit, once I have done this clear out20:38

RainCTHi20:54
RainCTIs there some website which takes a branch name in the form lp:something as an argument and redirects to whatever http page that matches?20:55
RainCTie. something like xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('https://xmlrpc.launchpad.net/bazaar/', transport=transport).resolve_lp_path(url) but which can be used directly in the browser, over http(s)20:55
maxbto the branch? Or to the Launchpad webpage for the branch?21:01
RainCTmaxb: to the launchpad page for the branch21:01
maxbcode.lp.net/+branch/something21:02
RainCTAwesome! Thanks maxb :)21:02
Zelutsomething up with LP? my bzr pushes are taking a *long* time, if successful at all.22:06
geserwgrant: do you know how hard it would be to use the debian build log style for our build logs?22:46
wgrantgeser: What do you mean?22:47
wgrantThe one with pretty boxes and stuff produced by the new sbuild, or something else?22:48
geserexactly that, so it easier to see where each "step" (updating the chroot, installing build depends, the actual building, the clean up) start22:50
wgrantgeser: That requires a new sbuild.22:53
wgrantLP's sbuild is a five year old fork.22:53
wgrantI want to fix that, but it's difficult.22:53
geseroh :(22:54
wgrant(we carry a few horrific patches against it, some of which are obsolete, and some of which I don't yet know exist)22:55
sladencould somebody please convert  https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/95599  back into a bug report please23:04
wgrantsladen: A better solution is to ask a question to get an alias added.23:05
wgrantAny other solution is very difficult and probably wrong.23:06
sladenwgrant: *blink*23:06
wgrantsladen: The solution is to get 'ubunet' aliased to 'ubuntuone-servers', which an admin can do in a second.23:07
sladenwgrant: I fixed the _bug_ because a generic solution is needed (be that code, or workflow)---kludged workaround work for one instance and merely perpetuate a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place23:08
sladens/fixed/filed/23:08
wgrantIt's not a kludged workaround.23:08
sladenwgrant: something that required repeated, extranous manual effort is a not a workaround?23:09
wgrantsladen: It requires little more effort than a normal project rename, and a rename often involves addition of an alias anyway.23:09
wgrantBut maybe sinzui has some more insight?23:09
sladenwgrant: if the solution is to add a tick box (selected by default of course) to the LP admin renaming interface ("add redirect for old project name") then that's a solution---it's a change of workflow where something happens automatically23:10
james_wanyone seeing bzr pulls hanging currently?23:12
wgrantjames_w: There was a report of that an hour or so ago, so probably...23:13
sladenif it's _really_ desired to convert this into a request for a one-off kludge adding to one instance of Launchpad for one project within that instance, then I can refile the _core_ issue (a generic fix needed) again...23:13
james_wanyone around who can look in to it?23:14
wgrantsladen: It's well known that if URLs need to not break, an alias should be added. I don't think there's much value in adding a special case.23:18
wgrantBut perhaps it is a valid request that such a checkbox should be added.23:18
sladenwgrant: bingo.  And on that basis, please convert it back to the bug report that it was23:19
wgrantsladen: Click on the bug, "Convert back to a bug"23:19
wgrantsladen: Then retitle it, and retarget it to launchpad-registry.23:20
elmojames_w: http or ssh?23:20
james_wssh23:20
james_wit's connecting23:20
james_whanging in read() on the bzr process23:20
elmotry now23:21
elmoor retry now23:21
james_wbingo23:21
james_wthanks23:21
sladenwgrant: I'm not a member of "Canonical Launchpad Engineering", hence coming here to request that somebody who _is_ convert it...23:22
sladenwgrant: if I should be, I can file a bug about that too23:22
wgrantsladen: I'm not either. But why do you need to be?23:22
sladenwgrant: wget -q https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/95599 -O- | grep -qci convert || echo EPERM23:25
wgrantsladen: On the bug page.23:26
sladenwgrant: ta, kthxbye23:29
james_welmo: sorry, but it's at it again23:35
