kermiac_sorry, gotta afk for a while01:59
persiaUm, we can't be sure that the warning was received, only that it was sent.02:00
persiaSome people don't actually read email.02:00
spmAnd given the email address, I do wonder if it's been spam trapped or something02:01
spmpersia: your thoughts? I'm about 90% inclined atm to suspend with a note that this is to encourage them to contact us asking why. ???02:02
persiaspm: I'm unsure.  Had there not been an explicit time frame in the warning, I'd be all for suspending now.02:03
spmyeah. that's the other 10%... :-/02:03
persiaAs it is, I think that there would be benefit to sending another notice indicating that continued disruptive behaviour has shortened the timeframe.02:03
spmgood idea; ta.02:03
persiaBut it seems to be the major topic of conversation in #ubuntu-bugs, which implies, to me, that it's keeping people from actually working on bugs, which is anti-productive.02:04
lifelessJFDI02:04
persiaheh.  That was an easy 10% :)02:04
lifeless48 hours is way to long to let an idiot continue being an idiot02:04
spm1 person and a sense of fairness vs the needs of the many.... :-/02:05
persiaRIght.02:05
lifelessthe many carry bigger bats02:05
persiaBut it's probably worth changing the "How do we handle requests for account suspension" documentation to not give a timeframe, and then suspend either after some time without response of if a sufficiently of continued disruption occurs.02:06
persiaBecause once the "48-hour" mail is sent, it looks bad not to honor it.02:06
thekornwhat will suspending this user mean? is it just deleting his account. or are there ways to ban him from launchpad?02:08
spmoki, suspended. In the hope that they do contact us, or read their email... to find out why.02:08
spmthekorn: suspension. basically locked out.02:08
spmdelete is typically only used in extreme cases; eg obvious spammers for drugs etc02:09
thekornok, so he can get a new @nospam address, setup a new account and start spamming again, and it will take some time again until this attrackts our attention02:11
thekornlet's hope this does not happen02:11
thekornthanks for takeing care of him02:12
micahgspm: do you know anything about the interaction between bugzilla.mozilla.com and LP?02:12
spmmicahg: a little; it's a moderate source of pain.02:13
micahgspm: will it break anything in LP if the LP acccount in bugzilla is disabled until we fix syncing?02:13
spmmicahg: no idea; my 2c - do what you need to do; we'll pick up the pieces if needs be.02:14
micahgspm: k, thanks :)02:14
micahgupstream was getting frustrated :)02:15
spmheh, at worst, it identifies a bug in how that process deals with such an event. :-)02:15
spmfair cop02:15
* wgrant wonders why spamming other bugtrackers isn't a critical bug.02:15
* micahg agrees with wgrant02:18
persiathekorn: There's no sane way to identify individuals: only email addresses.02:18
thekornpersia, I know, so my idea is not not supsend such spammers and find ways to handle/revert their changes, in this case we would know who is spamming,02:20
thekornmaybe permanently redirecting them to staging02:21
persiathekorn: That's an interesting idea, but probably requires a lot of deep plumbing.02:21

loolI'm supposed to contact one of the *other* administrators for some reason08:31
noodles775lool, that is weird... one of the registry guys should be around later, but if you've time it'd be worth a bug so it doesn't get lost.08:58
Lord-ReadmanAny translations admins or mods here?09:04

loolnoodles775: I filed 52084809:05
dpmLord-Readman, what's your question (I'm not an LP developer but I can manage the translations imports queue, if that is what you need)09:06
Lord-Readmanwell I have approved imports, but they are not imported09:06
Lord-Readmanand usually they do it at the same time09:07
Lord-Readmanwhat is the difference?09:07
Lord-Readmanhttps://translations.launchpad.net/~robert-readman/+imports I have 4 approved09:09
Lord-Readmanbut not imported09:09
Lord-Readmanif you could take a look dpm that would be great09:10
dpmLord-Readman, ah, it's an Ubuntu import. I can take a look, but in the future you might want to ask at #ubuntu-translators where more Ubuntu people with admin rights on the imports queue can have a look at it as well09:11
Lord-Readmanah sorry09:12
dpmLord-Readman, it's just as fine to ask here, no need to apologise :-)09:12
dpmLord-Readman, it did not get imported automatically because the importer is trying to figure out the language. I've approved it manually, so no worries, but on subsequent imports I'd recommend changing the name of the PO files you upload to simply en_GB.po, which will speed up the process of them getting imported. In any case, the "Will be imported into English (United Kingdom) (en_GB) translation of virt-manager in Ubuntu Lucid package "virt-manager"" mes09:18
dpmsage in the imports queue entry shows that it would have been imported eventually09:18
Lord-Readmanah I normally just upload with the same filename as it gave on the download09:19

_stink_hey folks.  i want to submit a feature request for LP, but if i go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad, there aren't any open bugs.  maybe they're all closed, but this makes me think i should be going elsewhere to submit this.  advice?15:24
deryck_stink_, we generally file bugs against the launchpad components, i.e. malone, rosetta, soyuz, launchpad-code, launchpad-registry, or launchpad-foundations.15:43
deryck_stink_, but if you can't work out where to file, you can file against /launchpad and we'll re-target it.15:44

tlyuLaunchpad claims it pulls external bug status daily but it looks like #512459 hasn't updated since 2010-02-08 from its corresponding Debian bug. what's up with that?18:21
=== deryck[lunch] is now known as deryck
lfaraonetlyu: bug status is slightly borked from debian.18:22
derycktlyu, we're doing lots of work on our bug syncing currently.  So it can be hit or miss currently.  By sometime in April, this should be solid again.18:22
tlyuthanks. will unlinking and relinking the bug cause it to update?18:23
derycktlyu, no.18:23
derycktlyu, the updates are processed offline from Launchpad.  This is part of what we're changing to, so that you can force an update from the UI.18:24
tlyuok. if i want the Launchpad state to accurately reflect Debian, should i adjust it manually?18:24
derycktlyu, you have to remove the bug watch to update manually.18:31

maxblfaraone: yikes.... is it going over bzr+ssh or http?20:39
lfaraonemaxb: the latter, I think.20:40
lfaraonemaxb: uh, actually it might be http, I didn't give it my launchpad credentials..20:40
maxbWell, do you have a ssh key in launchpad, and that ssh key available locally? If not we can rule ssh out straight away20:41
lfaraonemaxb: okay, it's not SSH then :)20:41
maxbright... well, I've found bzr's dumb http to be pretty awful about big branches20:42
lfaraone(currently using virt: 1162m, that's more ram than I have on the system!)20:43
lfaraonemaxb: so this is a bug, I take it.20:43
lfaraonemaxb: is there another transport I can use with launchpad, without putting an SSH key on the computer?20:44
maxbNo, there isn't20:45
maxbI'm trying it here .... not only is it doing a dreadful job of saturating my bandwidth, it's swiftly heading in the direction of a gig of mem20:47
maxbI killed it because it was getting shockingly slow20:49
maxbhuh, even bzr+ssh seems to have just stalled, too20:50
maxbThis is ridiculous20:51
maxbI can now safely say that if I needed to branch launchpad afresh, I'm not sure I could, with it behaving the way it is20:52
lifelesslfaraone: what bzr version ?20:52
lifelessmaxb: and yours ?20:52
maxblp:bzr/2.120:53
lfaraonelifeless: Bazaar (bzr) 2.0.220:53
lifelesslfaraone: 2.1 is a lot better at memory in theory ;)20:53
lifelessmaxb: C extensions built ?20:53
lfaraonelifeless: well, I'm using what's in the repos.20:53
maxblifeless: yes20:53
lifelessmaxb: file a bug please20:53
maxbSo theory isn't being borne out in practice20:53
maxblifeless: I'm assuming that "make" in the tree will have done the right thing?20:54
maxbIt certainly looked like it did20:54
lifelessmaxb: make will build the extensions, yes.20:54
lifelessmaxb: if you have bzrlib/*.so numbering ~5 then it did20:55
maxbI have 1420:55
lifelessyeah thats fine20:56
maxbum. Is it expected that I have time to go make a cup of coffee whilst 'bzr heads' runs on my ~/launchpad/lp-branches?20:58
* persia thinks it's the new bzr caffiene-level-check feature running in the background20:58
persia(or would that be "check-caffiene-level" to match the naming convention?)20:59
lifelessnothing is expected20:59
lifelessbut I doubt heads uses the fast apis available in 2.1 yet20:59
maxbThere's "fast" and there's "so slow the command might as well not exist" :-/21:00
lifelessget an lsprof dump of it and file a bug; we can go from there21:00
lfaraonehm. bazaar is still using 350~mb of ram in ssh+bzr transport mode.21:02
lfaraonewhich isn't *as* terrible :)21:02
lifelessit will be doing far fewer round trips too21:03
lifelessserver side processing is much more efficient21:03

zobi1Yesterday, I created a Launchpad branch for our translations to be exported to. Then, I created an empty bazaar branch on my local machine (bzr init) and finally pushed it to Launchpad (bzr push --use-existing-dir lp:wiserearth). I expected the transltion files to be exported to this branch since I associated the two. I still have an empty branch. What step am I missing?23:05
lifelesszobi1: you ran bzr init twice; don't do that for a single project23:22
lifelesszobi1: 'init' makes something brand new, what you want is 'branch' - make a new branch of something you've already got23:22
zobi1lifeless: I don't have anything I would like to put in. I would like to get an export of the translation files that are on Launchpad.23:23
lifelesshmm, I'm not sure enough of the code bits here sorry23:23
zobi1lifeless: when I set up the new branch on Launchpad as an export branch for the existing translation files on Launchpad, I expected the branch to be populated with those files. But for some reason that is not happening.23:25
wgrantIt only happens once a day, I believe.23:26
zobi1For some reason the documentation assumes certain steps to be taken by the users, rather than walk you through.23:27
zobi1wgrant: I set this up 2 days ago.23:27
zobi1Anyway to find out what time of the day the export happens?23:27
