[00:12] no [00:12] i don't know if there's a plan about what access it should have [00:12] but i'd favor wiki mode [00:13] Speaking of wiki mode... is there a reason that the channel is +t?

[00:14] It's handy to be able to set it for issues when nobody is around. [00:14] wgrant: i think freenode changed a lot of channels a week or so ago due to some spam problem [00:14] Right. But that should be fixed with the new ircd. [00:14] ah ok [00:15] in general freenode seems to have a habit of interfering with my use of the network to help with problems i have never experienced [00:15] but hey, maybe i'm just lucky [00:16] heh [00:25] hi launchpadders -- i'm aware of bug 471225, but is there any way to request that my PPA signing key comment be changed by an admin? [00:25] Launchpad bug 471225 in soyuz "Can't update PPA signing key descriptions" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/471225 [00:42] can someone please look into this user? https://edge.launchpad.net/~yahoo-sun [00:43] Bug #526135 reported by join (yahoo-sun: 0) 12 minutes ago [00:43] Launchpad bug 526135 in ubuntuone-client "#yahoo_sun" [Undecided,Invalid] https://launchpad.net/bugs/526135 [00:45] ^^^ it is obvious he/she is a spammer, look at the bug that was filed [01:11] Filing one incredibly nonsensical bug feels more like someone who's just very very confused, than spam, to me === jamalta is now known as jamalta-afk [01:36] maxb: I thought that the person would be classified as a spamer (i.e. advertising) due to them only joining today & they made their name be "join #yahoo-sun" [01:37] isn't that advertising? [01:37] also, the title of the only bug report (that I can find) is "#yahoo_sun" [01:37] well it's pretty poor advertising given it doesn't even tell you which network the channel might be on [01:38] yes, that is true... but whoever said that spammers need to be smart? [01:38] it just seems to be advertising to me === kermiac_ is now known as kermiac [01:39] don't you think it would be classified as advertising? [01:40] I think it's sufficently borderline that it's unlikely to convince an admin to suspend the user [01:41] ok, fair enough maxb. nvm - I may be simply being overly sensitive to the issue due to the amount of spammers that we have come across over the last 2 weeks [01:41] yes, it's been a bad fortnight, hasn't it :-/ [01:42] yes, indeed it has :( [01:42] that may be the reason that this jumped out at me [01:42] to me it was screaming "I am yet another spammer" [01:43] thanks for the discussion maxb :) === kermiac is now known as kermiac_ [01:44] I'd suggest that unless they do something more objectionable, it's not worth the effort of trying to ask them not to :-) [02:19] thumper: is https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr-hg/+bug/516758 the one you were refering to?

[02:28] patx: yes, it's an employee thing [02:28] oh ok :) thanks :) [02:29] patx, see the discussion of cloaks on freenoden.te [02:29] .net [02:29] i think ubuntu members can get them too [02:53] Ubuntu Members can get cloaks, but not launchpad cloaks. [02:54] Depending on the number of external contributors, it might be interesting to investigate a bit, and maybe offer a cloak at some threshold of sustained contribution [03:05] What does having a bug marked as invalid mean? [03:06] mrmcq2u: It usually means that someone decided that the bug isn't really a bug in some way. Is there a specific bug that you want more information about? [03:07] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/275651 [03:07] Launchpad bug 275651 in xorg "lg flatron l1715s" [Undecided,Invalid] [03:07] https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/Statuses is recommended semantic application of the names, although some projects use them a little differently. [03:08] Ah, for that bug, #ubuntu-bugs is probably a more useful specific forum, just because the Ubuntu project is more likely to be familiar with bug policies for bugs in Ubuntu (but I'll try to answer here if it's obvious) [03:08] cool [03:10] mrmcq2u: Looks like it got marked "Invalid" because you took too long to get back to the query (in the opinion of the triager). Since another user "confirmed with 9.04", it maybe sensible to change that back to "Confirmed", but you can get a more authoritative answer in #ubuntu-bugs [03:11] cool, thanks [03:11] mrmcq2u: Based on the dates in the report, you might also want to make sure it still happens with latest updates, etc. :) [03:26] yup.. its still an issue === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler [06:57] wgrant: Seems that there is a strong interest in getting bugs #55795 and #523093 fixed before implementing native-source-syncing, as otherwise there would be a regression in the production of the -changes mails, so it is worth fixing that first. [06:57] Launchpad bug 55795 in soyuz "+changelog includes misleading information related to package versions and authors" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/55795 [06:57] Launchpad bug 523093 in soyuz "private e-mail address gets stuffed into and published in changes file" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/523093 [06:58] https://dev.launchpad.net/Ubuntu/InfrastructureNeeds seems to have a highlight of current status (the spec is quite old) [06:59] persia: Wouldn't the fix be to just stop clobbering Changed-By and store/present the copier elsewhere? [06:59] That'd be part 1. [07:00] Part 2 is about actually using data from the package, rather then random info in the LP DB. [07:00] Right. [07:00] But this is distro-related work, so it's never going to get done. [07:01] That might be why I'm asking you about it :) [07:02] persia: Did you talk to bigjools about it at all, or just distro people? [07:02] Just distro people. I didn't catch bigjools. [07:03] persia: Also, how is sponsorship going to work with a native syncing workflow? [07:03] For merges we have MPs. [07:03] For syncs, there is nothing that seems to fit. [07:03] I haven't quite figured that out, but I'm thinking about it. [07:03] Still, it cannot be any worse than it is now. [07:03] On the other hand, I'm not sure that there's a lot of value in giving sponsor credit for syncs. [07:04] If the person did the work in Debian to make it a sync, they get changelog credit anyway (usually, or at least by bug reference), and if they didn't, I'm not sure they did that much. [07:04] The issue is more requesting that someone process syncs, but that can end up as bugs in the sponsor queue until we come up with something better. [07:04] persia: It needs to be recorded and displayed somewhere for accountability, though... [07:05] I don't have any issues with making the person who pressed the button accountable. [07:05] That doesn't make sense now, because there's only ~10 people with the button, but it would make sense with ~150 people. [07:05] So you don't care about crediting the requester of a sponsored sync, just the sponsor? [07:05] In the short term, not so much. [07:06] I think there is some value there, but I'm not convinced it's easy. [07:06] That's what I thought. Good. [07:06] Right, it's much harder. [07:06] I suppose that SyncSource could be extended to take an optional "requestor" argument, and we could expect sponsors to give credit when they thought it appropriate. [07:06] Err, syncSource [07:07] That's not necessary for an initial implementation, though. [07:07] Right. [07:08] Note that I did receive feedback that open access to "syncSources" was not preferable, and just to syncSource. [07:09] Or, no. I'm misinterpreting +apidoc [07:09] But not enabling random folk to press the autosync button. [07:10] Was the discussion held on a public medium that I can review? [07:10] So, I think the issues are 44795, 523093, and that syncSource needs to push to the queue, rather than raw pocket-copy. [07:10] 55795, you mean? [07:11] Sorry, yes. [07:11] Plus permissions. [07:11] Right. [07:11] And announcement (but that probably goes along with the queue) [07:11] http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/02/22/#ubuntu-installer.txt has one snippet (from 19:10, but really from 19:29). Most isn't reviewable. [07:13] Ah. [07:17] I think +changelog is probably a lost cause. [07:17] I cannot see a way to make it much more sane (apart from not mangling changed-by, and not faking the final changelog line) [07:23] I agree, but cjwatson pointed out that we need to preserve the experience for -changes readers. Any ideas there? [07:25] Well, that needs to be completely rewritten for copying from Debian. [07:25] Since the imported Debian uploads don't have changes files. [07:25] So Soyuz would have to learn to extract the necessary entries itself. [07:27] So that's actually a bit different than the +changelog bugs. === henninge_ is now known as henninge [09:27] hey..

[14:51] intellectronica: yep [14:51] intellectronica: i always get back all the bugs regardless of whether assignee is there or not [14:56] joshuahoover: right. the problem is that passing None is equivalent to not passing anything at all [14:57] Hi there. [14:57] intellectronica: ok, what should i pass in? :) [14:57] what i'm trying to find out is if there's a way to specify that you only want unassigned bugs (like you can do with the search form) [14:57] intellectronica: ok, yeah, that's what i'd ideally want to do but if it's not possible right now, that's good to know too [14:57] Can someone point me at the instructions for uploading .deb files to a (personal) PPA?

[20:51] I have to figure out what to change on launchpad to allow folks to grab just that dir [20:52] gregcoit: yeah, that isn't the branch [20:52] (also tried bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pantheon-developers/projectmercury/trunk/bcfg2/ and http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pantheon-developers/projectmercury/bcfg2/ [20:52] gregcoit: the branch is http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~pantheon-developers/projectmercury/trunk [20:52] gregcoit: the /files is part of the loggerhead traversal [20:53] thumper: so /files woulnd't be in the bzr command, right?

[20:58] well, they are both part of our project, they just have different locations on the client computers. [20:59] gregcoit: how closely connected are these two things? [20:59] lifeless: i think the reason we haven't done that is we'd like folks to be able to bzr update [20:59] lifeless: not very close....
