| micahg | how can someone add a bugwatch to a duplicate bug? | 00:31 |
|---|---|---|
| maxb | Hrm... is the branch scanner broken? | 00:31 |
| micahg | I seem to have trouble deleting bugwatches on edge | 00:36 |
| micahg | same on production | 00:36 |
| micahg | bac: I'm getting a problem connecting to LP page | 00:39 |
| spm | maxb: possibly. we're chasing atm. it seems to be working, but we're showing massive delays. | 00:44 |
| rockstar | maxb, can you show me an example branch? | 00:51 |
| rockstar | Er, an example of the scanner being broken. | 00:53 |
| === mnepton is now known as mneptok | ||
| maxb | rockstar: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~maxb/launchpad/use-hashlib has been pushed for some time now | 01:02 |
| spm | bleh nothing in the branch sccaner log matching that | 01:03 |
| maxb | just a massive backlog, then? | 01:03 |
| rockstar | maxb, actually, that looks like the mirror-puller might have issues. spm and I are chasing now. | 01:04 |
| spm | maxb: looks like an unnamed individual has managed to hog the mirror-puller; stuff was still happening; but sufficiently slowly - it impacts on everyone else | 01:19 |
| maxb | *blink* | 01:27 |
| maxb | Just how many branches do you have to push to do that ! | 01:27 |
| mwhudson | it's usually mirrored branches that screw things up | 01:28 |
| doctormo | Using a branch object, why is the url attribute always empty? I'm trying to find the url that bzr uses for it's branches but I don't think lp is able to provide it. | 01:40 |
| maxb | doctormo: um, more context please? | 01:41 |
| james_w | doctormo: the url is probably misnamed, it doesn't provide that information | 01:42 |
| doctormo | james_w: Thanks | 01:42 |
| james_w | doctormo: you can manipulate self_link to get a url for the branch | 01:43 |
| doctormo | My branch listing process is so slow, loading in owners, urls and other data. Although I think checking the owner team members is killed it. | 01:43 |
| maxb | james_w: UDD question... having determined that an import failure is likely because an upstream-FOO tag is in the wrong branch.... is there any good way to test that out locally? | 01:43 |
| james_w | maxb: you can grab the import-scripts branch and do ./import_package.py <package name> | 01:44 |
| james_w | pass --no-push to not push | 01:44 |
| james_w | --no-existing to start from the beginning without re-using the branches on LP | 01:45 |
| maxb | ah, yes, but I want it to try importing using a local copy of the LP branches which I've moved a tag around in | 01:45 |
| james_w | that's probably fairly easy to do with a bit of code | 01:46 |
| maxb | ok, I'll have a hack | 01:46 |
| james_w | see the BranchStore class in icommon.py | 01:46 |
| james_w | if that is the cause it is probably because of a missing merge of the tags | 01:46 |
| james_w | bzr doesn't merge the tags when you merge branches, so you have to do it as an explicit step | 01:47 |
| maxb | The case I'm looking at, the upstream-x.y.z tag is in the ubuntu branch not the debian branch, where the upstream was independently imported into both | 01:47 |

| persia | Did something change in the AJAX subscription UI recently? I just ended up on a non-ajax subscribe self and/or teams page ( https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xf86-video-displaylink/+subscribe ) | 03:21 |
| persia | I had thought those had all been removed (and have one invalid and one wontfix bug related to them under the assumption they have gone) | 03:21 |
| wgrant | persia: I occasionally get there by clicking on the link too quickly. | 03:22 |
| wgrant | (before the JavaScript has turned the non-AJAX link into an AJAXy one) | 03:22 |
| wgrant | The old forms are still there, so things still work if JS is turned off. | 03:23 |
| persia | That may have been what I did. Are the old pages still there to support non-ajax browsers? | 03:23 |
| wgrant | Right. | 03:23 |
| persia | Aha! Now I think the state of my bugs is wrong. | 03:23 |
| persia | It's still possible to get to the exceedingly annoying page where one can't do the obvious subscribing oneself while unsubscribing a team (or vice-versa). | 03:23 |
| persia | So the page is still buggy, although the related bug has been declared irrelevant because of the AJAX UI. | 03:24 |
| * persia decides it doesn't matter enough, but would prefer a consistent interface | 03:24 | |
| mbt | Hi, I have made a new release of my project (AllTray) that is a minor bugfix release out of the maintenance branch. However, it seems that it doesn't want to show up on the front page for downloads. I don't want it at the top, ahead of my trunk releases, but I want it after the 0.70 release from historic, and it won't seem to go. | 04:50 |
| mbt | Am I doing something wrong here? https://edge.launchpad.net/alltray/+download | 04:51 |
| mwhudson | mbt: what's your new release called? | 04:53 |
| mbt | 0.71, from the old-maintenance branch. | 04:53 |
| mwhudson | ah | 04:53 |
| mwhudson | maybe it's because the series is different? | 04:53 |
| mbt | I would like to push the historic releases "down"; as it is, the release that I just made won't even show up on the first page of downloads | 04:53 |
| mbt | I expect trunk to show up first, and it does---but then I expect historic to be last since it's obsolete and old-maintenance is the current 'stable', so I'd expect that to display after trunk | 04:54 |
| mwhudson | mbt: the series are sorted as if the names are version numbers | 04:56 |
| mbt | oh... so i have to rename the series to change the sort order? | 04:57 |
| wgrant | That's how series are intended to be used, but that doesn't seem to be conveyed very well. | 04:57 |
| mwhudson | looks like it | 04:57 |
| mbt | eww. | 04:57 |
| mwhudson | i had to read the code to figure this out, i certainly didn't know it off the top of my head | 04:57 |
| mbt | that'll break existing branches, though, if I do that, won't it. | 04:58 |
| mbt | or at least, their references. | 04:58 |
| mwhudson | mbt: it will change the lp:alltray/old-maintenance names | 04:59 |
| mbt | Well, wait a minute... trunk, historic-releases, old-maintenance... in that order, so I guess it's sorted by development focus first, then alphabetically? | 04:59 |
| mwhudson | but they don't tend to get stored by things | 04:59 |
| mbt | I should probably file a bug to ask to sort "obsolete" series last. | 05:00 |
| mwhudson | mbt: yes | 05:00 |
| mwhudson | mbt: that sounds like a very good idea | 05:00 |
| mbt | What's the code hosting component called again? | 05:00 |
| mwhudson | launchpad-code | 05:01 |
| mwhudson | but! | 05:01 |
| mwhudson | this bug should be filed against launchpad-registry probably | 05:01 |
| mbt | Oh. | 05:01 |
| mbt | I can do that. :) | 05:01 |

| bac | barry: is there a way to configure 'only post by members'? | 16:42 |
| barry | yeah, but the problem is that mailing lists is not the right place to be doing spam detection. we really need spamassassin in the mta. i think there's an open rt about that | 16:43 |
| barry | bac: no, however non-lp users cannot email any mailing list, so if you've identified lp users who are spamming, we need to disable their accounts | 16:44 |

| * lamont has a question on archive publishing... | 21:13 | |
| lamont | lets say I had something like https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/test-rebuild-20090513 and a pile of disk.. does launchpad have the ability to give me an apt repo with the contents of that packaged up pretty, ala archive.u.c? | 21:14 |
| lamont | wgrant: around? | 21:14 |
| wgrant | wgrant: I am. | 21:14 |
| wgrant | lamont: You cannot publish that archive without code changes. | 21:14 |
| wgrant | Small changes, but changes all the same. | 21:14 |
| lamont | wgrant: know now that I have a big pile of disk and a fat pipe to the librarian that want to do just that. sometime this month. | 21:15 |
| lamont | well, with a copy of lucid, but still..... | 21:15 |
| lamont | I'd even settle for a chunk of launchpad-lib abusing code to rip URLs to fetch debs and src files from to craft such an archive | 21:15 |
| wgrant | That disk might well have to be on cocoplum. Let me check. | 21:16 |
| lamont | mcmurdo, but whatever. | 21:16 |
| wgrant | I mean, there may be Soyuz limitations that restrict it to being published to cocoplum. | 21:16 |
| lamont | ah, well. surviviable | 21:17 |
| lamont | albeit with much grumbling | 21:17 |
| wgrant | Although I may be wrong. | 21:18 |
| lamont | (as in, "I'LL FILE BUGS, dammit....") | 21:18 |
| * wgrant is hunting. | 21:18 | |
| lamont | ew. that whole thing is "binary packages awaiting publication" | 21:19 |
| wgrant | Yes. | 21:19 |
| wgrant | The key bit is whether process-accepted is running over that yet. | 21:19 |
| wgrant | It's not. | 21:20 |
| wgrant | So you could publish it just about anywhere. | 21:20 |
| lamont | \o/ | 21:20 |
| wgrant | Assuming you can convince Soyuz to schedule it... | 21:20 |
| lamont | are the steps to do that documented somewhere I can see? | 21:20 |
| wgrant | It involves hacking some code to allow publishing COPY archives, and mangling DB permissions, so no. | 21:21 |
| lamont | for this round, I'd accept an SQL query that gave me a dump of what URLs to grab from the librarian and what to call them in the archive... I'm not picky | 21:22 |
| lamont | though doing it with lplib would be far preferable | 21:22 |
| lamont | to sql, that is | 21:22 |
| wgrant | You can do it through launchpadlib. | 21:22 |
| wgrant | But it would make Launchpad cry, I think. | 21:23 |
| lamont | cry how? load, or because it got left out of the loop? | 21:23 |
| wgrant | You should really talk to Soyuz and see how quickly they can get this done... | 21:23 |
| mwhudson | load | 21:23 |
| wgrant | Load. | 21:23 |
| lamont | the goal is to temporarily publish that, not permanently... | 21:23 |
| wgrant | You'd be making tens of thousands of expensive calls. | 21:23 |
| lamont | 15000 :-D | 21:23 |
| lamont | that's only 1.5 tens of thousands. | 21:24 |
| wgrant | *2 due to the two archs? | 21:24 |
| lamont | oh meh | 21:24 |
| lamont | *6 | 21:24 |
| lamont | how ugly an sql query would it be? | 21:24 |
| wgrant | It was only a two-arch rebuild. | 21:24 |
| lamont | ah, well that's nice of us | 21:25 |
| lamont | in the future fantasy land, I expect ports will want to play along, too | 21:25 |
| wgrant | Nobody really want to DoS the distro builders for months. | 21:25 |
| lamont | yeah - before ports got to play, I'd have to finish up the "let's use the livecd buildd as a buildd when it's not building livecds" thing | 21:25 |
| lamont | 50% more buildds for ia64/ppc/sparc could do nothing but help | 21:26 |
| wgrant | Plus ideally restrict the rebuild to a subset of the available builders. | 21:26 |
| lamont | wgrant: it's not enough that it scores below universe? | 21:26 |
| wgrant | lamont: Not if you get three long-running builds on the builders at once. | 21:27 |
| lamont | right | 21:27 |
| lamont | well, restricted pools should be there soon, we just need to have it htb-ized | 21:28 |
| lamont | a dedicated subset of buildds for the rebuild-test, and all of the buildds for the main archive. | 21:28 |
| wgrant | So, the SQL to get what you want isn't terribly difficult. | 21:28 |
| wgrant | But you might as well just get archivepublisher hacked up to do what you want. It's not that difficult, and would surely make things a little less messy. | 21:29 |
| wgrant | The need isn't going to go away, so it might as well be fixed properly now. | 21:29 |
| lamont | who is the right person for me to lean on? | 21:30 |
| wgrant | bigjools | 21:30 |
| lamont | cool | 21:31 |
| lamont | brb | 21:31 |
| noctiphile | Was it ever determined why after upgrading to 9.10 so many lost their wireless connections? | 21:35 |
| Ursinha | noctiphile: hmm, I guess you should ask in #ubuntu instead | 21:35 |
| Ursinha | noctiphile: this is a Launchpad related stuff channel | 21:35 |
| noctiphile | I'm about to post the problem in Launchpad if there isn't a quick answer to the question. | 21:36 |
| wgrant | Try asking in #ubuntu. | 21:37 |
| Ursinha | noctiphile: that's ok, considering Ubuntu bug tracker is in Launchpad :) | 21:37 |
| wgrant | Launchpad has nothing to do with your wireless! | 21:37 |
| Ursinha | noctiphile: but still, you'll hardly have your answer here just because this isn't an Ubuntu channel :) | 21:38 |
| lamont | launchpad doesn't get to use wireless | 21:41 |
| wgrant | You know, I really hate custom uploads. | 21:42 |
| wgrant | They make everything so much harder. | 21:42 |
| persia | custom uploads? | 21:43 |
| wgrant | Binary uploads that contain stuff like debian-installer or translations tarballs. | 21:44 |
| wgrant | They way they are implemented is a little inconvenient, as they are only published to disk once, at accept time. | 21:45 |
| jcastro | kfogel: ping | 21:53 |
| jcastro | thumper: ping | 21:54 |
| thumper | jcastro: hi | 21:54 |
| jcastro | hi! | 21:55 |
| jcastro | seg|ars is writing an article about launchpad for ars technica | 21:55 |
| thumper | jcastro: yes... | 21:55 |
| jcastro | and I need to link him up with you folks, as his deadline got assigned to tonight, he doesn't have time for a full interview, so an insightful quote of somekind would be useful. | 21:55 |
| thumper | jcastro: quote about what? | 21:56 |
| jcastro | basically an insight on which aspects of lp you think are the most compelling enablers of collaboration | 21:56 |
| thumper | hmm... | 21:57 |
| thumper | when is his deadline? | 21:57 |
| thumper | jcastro: as in, how many hours? | 21:57 |
| jcastro | seg|ars: ^^^ | 21:57 |
| seg|ars | thumper: what aspect of LP do you think has had the biggest impact on the way that users collaborate on software development? | 21:57 |
| seg|ars | I've got until about 10pm | 21:57 |
| thumper | seg|ars: well, 10pm for me is another 11 hours away, how long do you have? | 21:58 |
| seg|ars | I have about 8 hours | 21:58 |
| thumper | ok | 21:58 |
| thumper | seg|ars: my thoughts come much more from a code hosting point of view, whereas if you asked kfogel he may have others too | 21:59 |
| seg|ars | that's cool | 21:59 |
| jcastro | thumper: yeah I was hoping to snag as many of you from different parts as possible | 21:59 |
| thumper | seg|ars: I think that the way that launchpad can be project focused rather than just person focused helps a lot as it is easy to see branches from other contributors | 22:00 |
| thumper | seg|ars: bzr integrates really nicely with launchpad, and allows anyone to commit to their own branch | 22:00 |
| thumper | seg|ars: and still have it related to a project | 22:00 |
| thumper | seg|ars: the way we have code reviews integrated suggest to developers that they should think about it | 22:00 |
| thumper | seg|ars: people can propose their branches for merging easily, and the right people get notified | 22:01 |
| thumper | seg|ars: conversations can then ensue around the proposed changes with a view to getting contributions into mainline | 22:01 |
| thumper | seg|ars: I have to head out for a bit, but will be around later to address more comments | 22:03 |
| seg|ars | thanks, I appreciate your comments | 22:03 |
| thumper | seg|ars: ping | 23:51 |
| seg|ars | hey | 23:53 |
