Some_PersonI'm trying to upload a rather large package, but it keeps stalling. I'm uploading using dput, and it stops at ``Uploading supertux_0.3.2-SVN~r6246.tar.gz: 148569k/148570k''04:30
Some_PersonIt just sits there, doing nothing04:31
Some_PersonIs there any way to upload it to my PPA without dput?05:04

maxbshadeslayer: Unlikely on a weekend. File a question in the tracker. https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion11:11
shadeslayermaxb: well i dont have a question,more of a request11:11
shadeslayeri wanted to change my lp url and have a PPA deleted which has never had published packages11:12
maxbThe question tracker does double duty for that too11:12
shadeslayeroh cool :)11:12

maxbshadeslayer: You've given a choice of names... I'd imagine the admins will end up asking you which one you actually want11:19
shadeslayerwell its in the order of prefrence11:19
shadeslayermaxb: ive added a comment :)11:21
steffanmaxb: is it possible to assign a question to a certain group of people such as the LOSAs, or can only certain people do that?11:26
=== shadeslayer is now known as shadeslayer_
maxbOnly certain people. Which is slightly annoying if you know your question is to the LOSAs, but on the other hand, I guess it makes sense for the LOSAs to be confronted with only a pre-triaged list of questions, given how busy they can be.11:32
steffanmaxb: I'm sure that function is restricted for a certain reason, I was just wondering11:43

troy43Hi!, some expert in PPA?, I own a PPA to distribute my program, it has a jaunty published package, how can I updated it to karmic? Am I supposed to recompile it in a karmic pc and upload it again or can the ubuntu buildroots do this for me from the ppa webpage?20:38
maxbYou can copy a source package including its built binaries from one distroseries to another from the /+copy-packages subpage of a PPA20:39
gesermaxb: but if troy43 really needs a rebuild an new upload (with a bumped version) is necessary20:40
maxbIf the package is such that it needs to rebuilt for karmic, you must increment the version number and reupload20:40
troy43and what is the criteria for "it needs to rebuilt"? I mean the dependencies of my program hasn't changed, and were present in jaunty and also in karmic..20:42
geserlibrary transition for example20:42
troy43it only depends in libglade, libcurl and libpcre.. all those are well known packages in jaunty and karmic..20:43
maxbFor a C program, it's largely whether any dependencies have changed their soname20:43
maxbA reasonable option is to install the jaunty .deb on a karmic system and check it works20:43
troy43geser: I tried the "Copy package" with the option "Rebuild the copied sources" enabled, but gives me the error: "The following source cannot be copied:* myprogram 1.2.0ppa in jaunty (same version already has published binaries in the destination archive)"20:47
maxbIndeed. You cannot rebuild sources within the same PPA20:47
maxbNor should you ever rebuild sources with the same version number except in very special circumstances20:47
maxbThe reason for this is that by creating multiple .debs with the same name and version number, you confuse both humans and software20:48
maxbYou must either copy including the existing binaries, or reupload a new version20:48
gesernot to mention that you can't store two different files with the same name in one directory20:49
troy43maxb: But the last version of my program hasnt change from jaunty to karmic, I mean, there's not been new versions of my program, I just want to distribute it now to karmic users..20:49
maxbBut a rebuild would create new binaries. It would be erroneous to have two different binary packages that were named identically20:50
geseryou only need a new "revision" of your package (revision = the part after the last - in the version string)20:50
maxbWhat is the exact version string of your current package?20:50
troy43maxb: fair enough, thanks for the explanation, the error should give some hints.. because20:50
troy43the "copy existing binaries" felt like wrong to me because I thought a program compile for jaunty wouldnt work in karmic.. it seems I was wrong..20:53
maxbtroy43: Remember that karmic started its life as a copy of jaunty20:54
troy43maxb: Ok, thanks very much for the information :-), nobody in #ubuntu could answer me..20:57
Some_PersonHow many PPAs can one person have?20:58
troy43geser: thanks for your answers too, I will try to avoid to make a new revision, I'm going now to try the "Copy existing binaries" option..20:59
* micahg is up to 7 Some_Person21:04
Some_PersonWhat is the "lpia" build?21:07
micahgSome_Person: lpia is an Intel low power arch, it is no longer supported in Lucid on21:08
troy43the "Copy existing binaries" option worked like a charm, I now have karmic packages of my program, I've install it an works well.. Thanks!!21:16
troy43Although I had to install it with apt-get from the commanline, because the Ubuntu Software Center didn't bring results when searching for my program..21:17
micahgwhat are the rules for a display name in LP?21:45
* micahg thinks he found a violation21:45
jmlmicahg, rules, you say21:50
jmlmicahg, there might not be rules per se.21:50
micahgjml, is this a problem? https://edge.launchpad.net/~newacct21:50
jmlmicahg, yeah, it is.21:51
micahg:), can you take care of it please?21:51
jmlmicahg, there's certainly the implicit rule of "Don't be a dick"21:51
micahgjml: I'm sure that was no pun intended ;)21:51
jmlmicahg, I'll see what I can do.21:51
micahgthanks21:52
jmlmicahg, I need a LOSA to do it. There won't be one around for another couple of hours.21:55
jmlmicahg, the comments made by that user are all reasonable. it's probably not an abuse account.21:59
micahgjml: I know, that's the weird thing22:07
micahgI was going to send a comment, but I didn't feel I had sufficient authority to do so22:07
Some_PersonI uploaded a package for karmic. Can I make it also build a version for lucid without reuploading anything?22:12
Some_PersonIt would be a waste just to edit the changelog and reupload22:12
geseryou can copy the source package + binary debs to lucid if you don't need a recompile22:13
jmlmicahg, well, any one in the community has authority to ask questions like "you seem like a nice person, why do you have such an unusual and often offensive nick name?"22:15
micahgjml: k22:15
* jml -> cafe w/ internet22:19
micahgjml: so, should I do that or wait for a LOSA?22:19
jmlmicahg, Do it now, I reckon. Can you please CC me?22:20
micahgjml: can I do that through the interface?22:20
jmlmicahg, CC me, no.22:21
jmlmicahg, I guess I have special email address viewing powers.22:21
micahgjml: ok, so what to do?22:21
jmlmicahg, just send it, and then let me know how it goes :)22:22
micahgjml: k22:22
jmlmicahg, thanks! :)22:22
micahgjml: I can copy you if there is a back and forth22:22
jmlmicahg, that'd be great, thanks.22:22
jmlmicahg, anyway, I've really got to go. If I don't leave the house I'll never feel like I've started work. :)22:23
micahgjml: I have the same problem, but I have a flat tire :)22:23
geserexcuses :)22:28
Some_PersonCan I copy the package and have it recompile it?22:37
Some_PersonI just tried copying with the binaries and my ubuntu doesn't like it22:38
geserno, as you can't have two different debs with the same version (and therefore file name)22:40
geserand the package manager wouldn't like it either (think of someone using your PPA and they update from karmic to lucid)22:41
Some_Personso I need to change the version number and the distribution and then reupload?22:43
geseryes22:43
jmlgood morning Launchpadders22:58

jmlmicahg, our friendly neighbourhood losa has changed the account name and sent an email to ~newacct explaining why.23:35

hggdhCan someone please suspend pstone78 from launchpad *now*? User is, er, spamming bugs with dangerous instructions -- see http://tinyurl.com/ycke5as23:36
spmhggdh: looking23:41
jmlspm, hggdh, he seems to have stopped over half an hour ago.23:41
jmlhggdh, I think suspending is a bit heavy-handed, tbh.23:42
hggdhjml if s/he has stopped, I agree. I just sent an email to her/him asking to stop, and to go to #ubuntu-bugs to discuss23:42
spmjml: agreed. the person means well by my read - if the suggestions are poor, a more accurate response in the threads in question would be better.23:42
jmlhggdh, cool, thanks.23:43
jmlhggdh, after all, if we suspended everyone who gave bad advice...23:43
hggdhspm, jml: yes, I am going to each one of the bugs and will ask for his comments to be disregarded23:43
jml(also, I've been trying so hard to avoid gender-specific pronouns today...)23:43
hggdhjml: one bad advice is no big deal, 16 of them starts to be23:44
jmlhggdh, heh. actually, I'd be more likely to suspend for copy/pasting instructions rather than linking:)23:44
hggdhheh... sometimes it is not worth the trouble, to be gender-neutral23:44
hggdhjml: BTW, please do not suspend me (I am copying & pasting a warning on the 16 bugs) ;-)23:50
jmlhggdh, I won't :)23:50
* hggdh gratefully bows23:51
