Noldorinwgrant: hi00:24
Noldorini've finally gotten around to trying the push to github using the following00:24
Noldorinbzr dpush git@github.com:Noldorin/IRC.NET.git00:24
Noldorinany idea why that shouldn't work?00:24
Noldorin"not a branch" is the error00:31
Noldorinalso:00:31
NoldorinC:\Users\Alex\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\IRC.NET\devel>bzr dpush git00:31
Noldorin//github.com/Noldorin/IRC.NET.git00:31
Noldorinbzr: ERROR: Unsupported protocol for url "git://github.com/Noldorin/IRC.NET.git00:31
RAOFNoldorin: Let me remember what you're after...00:32
NoldorinRAOF: i simply want to be able to push my bzr repo (hosted on launchpad) to github.00:33
RAOFI think it's... 'bzr dpush git+ssh://git@github.com/Noldorin/IRC.NET.git'00:33
maxbDo you have bzr-git installed?00:33
Noldorinsince this can't be done automatically on the server....00:33
Noldorinah right00:33
* Noldorin tries that00:33
NoldorinRAOF: unsupported protocol again00:34
Noldorinodd. i'm sure i installed bzr-git properly...00:34
RAOFOk.  Let me whip out my lappy, then...00:34
Noldorinalright cheers00:35
RAOFWhere the right url is sitting in history.00:35
NoldorinRAOF: i take it you've successfully pushed to github before?00:37
Noldorinor a git repo elsewhere?00:37
RAOFYes, to... gitorious, I think.00:37
Noldorinah ok00:37
RAOFNoldorin: So, “git+ssh://git@gitorious.org/~raof/banshee/gapless-work.git" successfully pushes to gitorious.00:42
Noldorinhrmm ok00:42
NoldorinRAOF: it worries me that the protocol isn't even being recognised apparently00:43
RAOFdoes “bzr plugins" list git?00:43
NoldorinRAOF: hrm, it seems not00:44
NoldorinRAOF: i've put it in my plugins dir and renamed the dir itself to 'git'00:44
Noldorindo i need to do something mroe perhaps?00:44
RAOFI'm not sure.00:44
NoldorinC:\Program Files\Bazaar\plugins\git exists...00:45
Noldorinhrmm00:45
NoldorinRAOF: well what did you do?00:45
RAOFNoldorin: “sudo aptitude install bzr-git"00:46
RAOFNot very helpful for you, thought.00:46
Noldorinbah.00:46
Noldorinpackage managers is always tempting me to move to linux :P00:46
RAOFThey are a stonking good idea, yes.00:47
RAOFI suggest that #bzr might be a better place for this question; I'm utterly unfamiliar with how plugins work on Windows.00:48
NoldorinRAOF: good point. i'll give it a go there00:50
Noldorinthanks for your help so far :)00:50
NoldorinRAOF: ah, figure it out...00:57
Noldorinfigured*00:57
RAOFSweet.00:57
Noldorinnow just to try push...00:57
Noldorindpush, even00:57
NoldorinRAOF: what's the easiest way to include dulwich in my pythonpath?01:00
RAOFUm... dunno, sorry.01:07
RAOFIt's been a while since I've had to use Windows :)01:07
Noldorinno worries/01:09
Noldorinheh01:09
NoldorinRAOF: you still around?01:45
Noldoringetting the following error now:01:57

Noldorinbzr: ERROR: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified01:57
Noldorinoddness01:57
RAOFMaybe you need to quote that string?02:18
RAOFMaybe Windows eats +s or something02:18
NoldorinRAOF: yeah, i considered that...02:25
Noldorinnever mind now though02:25
RAOFFixed it?02:25
Noldorinwell...02:25
Noldorinno, sorry, do mind actually :)02:25
Noldorindoesn't help02:25
NoldorinRAOF: it seems i can push to git normally at least....02:39
RAOFNoldorin: You mean - push to a local git branch?02:40
Noldorinmy branch on github02:40
RAOFNoldorin: You could try pushing from your bzr branch to your local git branch, and from there to github; that would help isolate the problem.02:49
NoldorinRAOF: yeah, i'll give that a go03:01
NoldorinRAOF: http://pastebin.com/m78e07c3603:05
Noldorinwhen i push to a local GIT repo i get that03:05
RAOFUm... dunno.  #bzr time!03:07
NoldorinRAOF: heh ok. thanks for all your help :)03:10
NoldorinRAOF: meh, bedtime. bye03:13
=== mmj_ is now known as silver6
silver6How can I control which downloads are shown on the front page of my launchpad project?  It's only showing downloads from 'main' series and I want it to show downloads from '0.2' series06:04
Some_PersonI uploaded a package to my PPA, deleted it because I noticed there was a problem with it, then I fixed the problem and reuploaded it08:17
Some_Personbut it doesn't seem to be coming up on my page08:17
Some_Personhello?08:21
RAOFSome_Person: You probably need to re-upload it with an increased version.08:25
RAOFThat's generally the way to handle these things.08:26
Some_PersonWhy do I need to increase the version? It was a simple mistake08:26
Some_Personok, i'll try it08:27
RAOFYou'd need to increase the version because launchpad now *has* that version, and may have published it; if you don't increase the version, people who had got the broken version won't get your fixed version.08:30
Some_Personthank you, it worked08:30
RAOFBasically, it makes a lot more sense if each build you do has a new version.08:30
Some_Personby the way, is there any way to convert the output of ``svn log'' to a debian changelog?08:31
riochIs it possible to import my codebase from svn (hosted at sourceforge) to my launchpad account?09:01
wgrantrioch: Have a look at https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Imports09:04
riochthanks09:04
riochwhat's the difference between a series and a branch?09:20
\u03b5series are a suit of releases09:37
\u03b5which might be based off a branch09:37
\u03b5but a branch can just be separate and introduce a feature/bugfix09:37
Some_Personwhat is the lpia build?09:40
geserubuntu/+archive/test-rebuild-20090909/+build/1226841 is back (now reappearing on radon)10:49
bjsniderthere's a navigation annoyance with the ppa screen15:59
bjsniderif i go to package details, and then delete or copy packages, the links in the navigation line miss the "package details" and go either back to the ppa main page or to delete/copy16:01

rioch_I want to transfer my code from sf to lp. Is importing the best thing to do, since it only takes the branch and appears to regularly update from the imported revision control, whereas I want to do it just once.16:41
carlosrioch_, you could do the checkout with the bzr-svn plugin (assuming you are using Subversion on SourceForge) and then, push it directly to launchpad16:54
rioch_carlos: would that retain my history?16:54
carlosthat should preserve the history16:54
carlosyeah16:54
carlosI think that's more or less what Launchpad does16:55
bdrung_am i right here for asking questions about launchpadlib? how can i get a list of bugs, to which user x subscribed?16:55
carlosbdrung_, no idea, sorry. I guess you already took a look to https://help.launchpad.net/API/launchpadlib and https://help.launchpad.net/API/Examples16:58
bdrung_yes16:58
carlosbdrung_, I didn't use it, so that's all I can help you, sorry17:00
rioch_I'm also a little confused about how the branches, series, and milestones work. When would I use each of those?17:05
rioch_for example, in my project I am about to release an alpha release (also the very first release). Would that be a milestone? If so, is it in a branch or a series?17:09
rioch_Could someone explain to me how I would use branches, series, and milestones, and how they relate to the trunk?17:27
steffanrioch_: Did you read https://help.launchpad.net/Code/ already?17:29
rioch_steffan: yes. I'm not really sure of the difference between branch and series.17:29
rioch_And I'm not sure how it fits into the big picture. So, for example, if I'm changing code, do I commit it to a series or a branch...or the trunk? :)17:30
steffanrioch_: I'm not sure to be totally honest - I > bugs/answers than code, stick around though I'm sure someone will answer17:38
rioch_ok. thanks anyway.17:39
james_wbdrung_: you can get bugs for a project/distribution which a particular user is subscribed to17:52
james_wbdrung_: I don't see how to do it across all bugs on LP though17:52
rioch_is it me, or are series and branches the same thing?17:57
rioch_ok it seems not, but I'm still confused17:59
rioch_Do I create a branch per developer or per release?18:00
rioch_and how do tags fit into this? :( I'm so lost18:01
rioch_ok, can someone tell me if I understand this: I create my own personal branch where I do all my work. I commit some changes to my branch, then push them so launchpad has the changes. I then decide that my work is done, so I then merge my branch with the trunk. Great stuff. Then after a while I realise that my trunk is now a release, so I create another branch and mark it as a release. So, my release branch is there, but work continues on t18:04
rioch_he trunk?18:04
rioch_I'm still not sure how series fit into it tho.18:04
bdrung_james_w: i found an example in ubuntu-qa-tools. finding ubuntu bugs is enough.18:04
rioch_I see why I'm confused. When I go to create a series, if I want it maintained in bazaar, I need a branch for it. Yet the docs say a series has a bunch of branches....hmmm18:12
rioch_I guess I want to know if I should create a branch for my 0.1 release or a series, or both? Or none? Who knows?18:14
steffanrioch_: On another note, you might get a faster response time asking on https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad if you don't understand the documentation18:23
rioch_steffan: good idea, thanks. I think I'm closer than before I started.18:24
rioch_:)18:24
maxbrioch_: A branch is a Bazaar thing. Series and Releases are metadata about a project in Launchpad, which can have branches, bugs, download files etc. associated with them18:25
rioch_maxb: yeah, and from what I can tell, a series is associated with a branch if bazaar will track it.18:26
rioch_so they are kind of the same thing18:26
maxbWell.... not really18:26
maxbA series is part of the description of a project. One of the attributes of a series may be which branch its code primarily lives in18:27
rioch_maxb: so how do I create the trunk branch to use for the location for the trunk series? If I try to create it in launchpad, it puts it in my user directory (well, rather than lp:trunk it puts it in lp:~username/project/trunk)18:29
maxb*ALL* Launchpad project branches are lp:~user/project/name18:30
maxbA branch assigned to a series is additionally accessible by the _alias_ of lp:project/series18:30
maxbA branch assigned as the entire project's development focus is additionally accessible by the alias of lp:project18:31
=== yofel_ is now known as yofel
rioch_maxb: thanks. I thought I was doing something wrong there.18:40
steffanrioch_: No problem, hope you got it all sorted now :)18:45
rioch_maxb: so would I then develop in my trunk branch and when I'm ready to release, create a series branch for it. In launchpad, however, I would already have a series associated with that release, and that it would not have a branch until the release was ready?18:46
maxbrioch_: If you like :-). I say do what works best for you in terms of branching structure, and then describe it in launchpad however seems workable18:52
maxbSmall projects may not even branch for release18:52
rioch_lots of options then. I think I'll do what I described and see how it goes :) thanks for helping.18:53
rioch_maxb: I take it I need to create my own personal branch where all my work is first pushed to, and then that is merged with trunk when it's ready?19:11
maxbrioch_: Depends. If you have write access to the project trunk, and don't wish to publish your work for review by other members of the project, there's no need.19:43
rioch_so the way I mentioned is good if you want to review code contributions by people before trusting them with trunk access?19:44
maxbOr for work by people with access, which is in progress but not finished19:46
rioch_what does this mean: bzr: ERROR: Target directory lp:pumped already exists, but does not have a valid .bzr directory. Supply --use-existing-dir to push there anyway.20:05
rioch_I created the trunk branch myself before pushing, so is it ok to add --use-existing-dir?20:05
xnoxyes20:16
rioch_thanks20:16
rioch_ok, im done now. Everything seems to be running ok. Thank you everyone who helped me get set up.20:32
dhillon-v10hi all, is the soyuz development team only for canonical employees or can I apply to it ?21:26
carlosdhillon-v10, as far as I know, you are free to contribute21:34
carlosbut you will need someone to approve your patches21:34
dhillon-v10carlos, alright so do you think I should apply, I tried before but was rejected :)21:35
carlosbefore you apply to join the launchpad team21:35
carlosyou should do some work21:35
carlosI don't know the policy to be accepted21:35
dhillon-v10carlos, doing some right now :D21:35
carloshowever, you need to show your skills in any free software project21:36
carlosbefore you are accepted21:36
carlosdhillon-v10, being a member of the soyuz team on launchpad gives you extra permissions21:36
carlosso it's not as easy as just apply to be accepted21:36
dhillon-v10carlos, I understand, most of my work is in upstream linux kernel so :)21:37
carlosanyway, you should check it with soyuz developers the policy to be accepted, if they have any. My comments are just a hint21:37
dhillon-v10carlos, are you a soyuz developer ?21:38
carlosdhillon-v10, no, I used to be a launchpad translations developer, but that was before the source code release, so I'm not up to date with the new policies21:39
dhillon-v10carlos, ahh nice thanks a bunch :D and happy new year21:39
carlosdhillon-v10, happy new year for you too21:39
=== doctormo_ is now known as doctormo
maxbdhillon-v10: If you want to get involved with Launchpad development you should join the launchpad-dev team/mailing list23:44
dhillon-v10maxb, I am already on the list, so do you think I should email the mailing list maybe23:46
maxbSince the "Soyuz Development Team" grants buildd-admin rights, I imagine it's probably Canonical-only23:46
dhillon-v10maxb, ahh :( but I can still submit patches right ?23:46
maxbOf course23:46
dhillon-v10maxb, yay !! :D that works as well, joining the team doesn't really matter as long as I can help out with some work23:47
dhillon-v10maxb, another question: this ppa i uploaded a while ago, and then deleted the packages in it, now when ever I upload it says Unable to find dtrace_0.1.orig.tar.gz in upload or distribution.23:50
dhillon-v10maxb, how do I make it upload again23:50
dhillon-v10maxb, it says: Number of packages:23:51
dhillon-v10    0 source packages (0 bytes)23:51
dhillon-v10    0 binary packages (0 bytes)23:51
maxbdhillon-v10: uh, need more info. What are you uploading? Why is this error a surprise?23:55
dhillon-v10maxb, I made this ppa, and after that here: https://edge.launchpad.net/~dhillon-v10/+archive/dtrace/+packages that there's nothing there, and whnever i try to upload using dput it skips the .orig file for some reason23:56
maxbWhether or not to upload the .orig.tar.gz is selected at sourcepackage build time (dpkg-buildpackage, debuild, etc.)23:58
maxbIf you don't explicitly tell it, it tries to guess based on the revision number of the package23:59
maxbOverride with -sa or -sd if need be23:59
dhillon-v10maxb, ahh okay thanks again, I think I know what the problem is :)23:59
