doctormoIf I get an Error 500, Internal Server Error from launchpad lib, should I report it as an error?06:16
tsimpsonif it's reproducible06:17
wgrantIt should have been recorded anyway.06:17
wgrantWhat were you doing?06:17
doctormowgrant: Accessing an opened branch object from a gtk main, when it was opened inside of a thread.06:21
doctormoWhere would it be recorded btw?06:24
spmdoctormo: 'oops' system06:24
doctormoOh right, on the server side. duh I should know that.06:25
spm:-)06:25
wgrantIt shouldn't cause an OOPS, but you know that the launchpadlib cache isn't threadsafe, right?06:26
doctormowgrant: Yup, I fixed the error my side, just a general question about uniformative errors and reporting them as bugs.06:27
spmdoctormo: my 2c; better to report and give any extra info; than not. the oops can always be attached to what info you provide.06:28
wgrantdoctormo: A 500 is always a Launchpad bug.06:32
wgrantIt's a crash.06:32

wgrantdoctormo: Can you turn on httplib's debug mode, and get the OOPS ID from the headers?06:36
doctormoYou guys are using httplib 1 not 2 right?06:38

wolfgang00not sure if my last message went through. i apologize for my ignorance but i just started using launchpad and bazaar. is there anyway to make a branch private so that only team members can browse the code? i have some sensitive material that i want to restrict access to.07:23
doctormowolfgang00: I think only Canonical has that ability and maybe third parties who pay Canonical for private services.07:30
doctormowolfgang00: What's the name of the project?07:30
wolfgang00yardbutlerstore07:30
wolfgang00im removing the files that have sensitive info but i would have prefered to have them on launchpad and just restrict visisbility. i guess its not a big deal though07:30
persiawolfgang00: You can try asking a question against launchpad.  I've seen it happen before, but believe there is a commercial arrangement involved.07:31
doctormowolfgang00: Having private files is counter to the open source way and basically goes against what launchpad is for. (public access to development)07:31
doctormowolfgang00: But as persia said, the commercial arrangement path offers a way around that.07:32
persiaAnd as doctormo said, it doesn't make sense for open-source stuff :)07:32
wolfgang00i understand but it keeps you from having any files with sensitive information up for your team. even the ability to restrict visibility on a per file basis would be nice.07:33
doctormowolfgang00: I take it that you have passwords or some such in code?07:33
wolfgang00yup07:33
doctormowolfgang00: It's _REALLY_ not a good idea to commit passwords to source code repositories. I know I did that once and had to change all my passwords to loads of accounts.07:35
doctormowolfgang00: Basically someone friendly logged into my google account and sent me an email to my own email account as a polite reminder not to commit my google password to source code ;-)07:35
persiaIt's usually not a good idea to hardcode authentication tokens anyway.07:35
persiaJust have the source get it from some config file, and not clobber the config file on install.07:36
wolfgang00usually not... but things arent always  done in the most practical manner :)07:36
persiaThat way you can change the source, and not worry about the authentication tokens.07:36
doctormowolfgang00: In this case (I imagen an sql server password for testing or devel)07:36
doctormowolfgang00: You should organise a way of getting a test serivce set up locally for all resources. If you can.07:36
wolfgang00one last question. how do i remove files from launchpad. i did a bzr remove --keep on the files i dont want up but after i do a push they are still there07:36
doctormowolfgang00: Remove forever? delete the branch _may_ do it.07:37
persiaIf you want to destroy the history, you need to create a branch that doesn't include that history, and then push --overwrite07:37
doctormowolfgang00: But a bzr delete will just delete the file in that revision.07:37
doctormopersia: I'll have to remember that one :-) thanks.07:37
persiadoctormo: Of course, in this case, all the passwords should be changed anyway, as they have already been compromised.07:38
persiaBut it's a handy way to paper over one's mistakes :)07:38
wolfgang00ive already changed them all as soon as i noticed what i did07:39
doctormopersia: Yea, at least now all of my online accounts have different passwords from each other thanks to that mistake.07:39

bialixhi, I have question/idea: sourceforge.net supports redirect from sf.net domain, which is very handy; lp.net will be nice to have for launchpad. Then people can talk about lp projects URLs using such short names09:31
bialixit appears for me when I've prepared my talk, and want to mention some lp projects09:31
mrooneybialix: it seems like someone would need to purchase lp.net for that to happen :)09:31

Pengmneptok: Hah, like I'd ever do that. Maybe wgrant did buy it dinner and compliment its wardrobe.09:32

mrandHowdy, I'm here on behalf of the Mythbuntu distribution.  In hopes of increasing our productivity while using launchpad, we were wondering if the launchpad team would be receptive to changing the "Show package report screen" (for example:  https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs/+packagebugs)15:12
mrandWhile the unassigned and in progress might be useful to commercial applications, unassigned is not useful at all to the countless open-source applications that use launchpad, and in progress is of low value.  We'd much prefer to have the new, committed, triaged, fix committed, and then maybe in progress if there is width left over.15:12
