| bjsnider | can someone delete an orig tarball from the ppa system for me? | 02:09 |
|---|---|---|
| persia | bjsnider: That's unlikely to happen, because someone might have downloaded it or otherwise be relying on it. | 02:20 |
| bjsnider | persia, i'm about to upload a new tarball with the same name, but the old one is in the way | 02:20 |
| persia | bjsnider: I understand. The PPA system is not designed to support that use case. | 02:21 |
| persia | This was an intentional decision. | 02:21 |
| bjsnider | it will be deleted automatically in 7 days anywa | 02:22 |
| bjsnider | the programmer released a new version without bumping the version number | 02:24 |
| bjsnider | he's certainly acting the part of a numbskull | 02:24 |
| persia | bjsnider: The typical response is to publish a tarball like foo_1.2.3+oughtbe124.tar.gz or similar. | 02:30 |
| bjsnider | are you kidding me? | 02:31 |
| persia | bjsnider: No. There are a fairly large number of people who believe that a given path should represent a given static object with a known checksum. | 02:33 |
| persia | So http://ppa.launchpad.net/.../foo_1.2.3.tar.gz would *always* be the same. | 02:33 |
| persia | And if it changed, it would have a different name as well. | 02:33 |
| persia | The package management systems used in Debian-derived distributions rely on this assumption. | 02:34 |
| bjsnider | i was just thinking of writing this guy an angry, pithy email, but to rename the orig tarball... | 02:34 |
| bjsnider | can you give me a real world example of a tarball being renamed because the number should have been bumped and wasn't? | 02:35 |
| persia | I don't seem to have any installed on my system right now. | 02:40 |
| persia | I remember there being some like that in the past, but I can't remember specifics. | 02:40 |
| bjsnider | would 0.31.0+latest be considered newer than 0.31.0? | 02:44 |
| persia | bjsnider: Yes, but use dpkg --compare-versions to verify (dpkg knows better than anyone on IRC) | 02:45 |
| bjsnider | persia, the system swallowed that. thanks for the guidance | 03:01 |
| persia | bjsnider: No problem. Thanks for understanding the policy that makes it so. | 03:02 |
| bjsnider | oh, i don't question it, i just wonder why this guy didn't bump the version number | 03:05 |
| persia | Some upstreams seem to not understand that having two releases with the same version may confuse users. I generally see it when the only changes are in comments or licensing or similar stuff that upstream doesn't expect will change behaviour. | 03:07 |
| bjsnider | well i'll tell you | 03:13 |
| bjsnider | this tarball was 200k smaller than the previous one, which accounts for 35% of its total size | 03:13 |
| persia | oh my. | 03:14 |
| bjsnider | there were obviously significant changes | 03:14 |
| bjsnider | and in the changelog too | 03:14 |
| persia | Do send upstream a note requesting a bump :) | 03:14 |
| spiv | Why is https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~nmb/bzr/mkdir-recursive-253529/+merge/19488 still in "updating diff" after almost two weeks? | 03:14 |
| bjsnider | he ony bumped the part after the last dash | 03:14 |
| mwhudson | spiv: i guess something broke | 03:15 |
| thumper | spiv: because lp:~nmb/bzr/mkdir-recursive-253529 doesn't exist yet | 03:33 |

| merlijn- | Hi, is this the right place to ask questions about Landscape? | 08:50 |
| lifeless | no, but it will do while I find out the right place for you | 08:51 |
| lifeless | what sort of stuff do you want to know? | 08:51 |
| merlijn- | I'm building a testsetup with Enterprise Cloud functionality | 08:51 |
| merlijn- | but I'm having trouble connecting Landscape to my Cloud | 08:51 |
| lifeless | UEC you mean? | 08:51 |
| merlijn- | yes | 08:52 |
| lifeless | I believe you need to ensure your cloud has its endpoint exposed on port 443, using ssl | 08:52 |
| lifeless | I've enquired about the right place to discuss it | 08:52 |
| lifeless | there appears to be a #landscape | 08:52 |
| merlijn- | so with the default setup, I should setup stunnel to pipe SSL on 443 to port 8773 | 08:53 |
| merlijn- | #landscape appears pretty empty :) | 08:53 |
| lifeless | yes, but the folk there are core devs on the project | 08:53 |
| merlijn- | oh nice, only one of them had a cloak | 08:54 |
| merlijn- | anyway, let me try setting up stunnel on port 443 | 08:54 |
| merlijn- | one problem is that I have read that Landscape will only work with real ssl certs (aka not self signed) | 08:57 |
| merlijn- | it seems a little off to buy one of those while just doing evaluation of the product | 08:57 |

| maxb | Breaking_Pitt: It's likely possible to coax into working, but you'll need to be prepared to look behind the basic helper scripts and be prepared to fix things. | 18:36 |
| Breaking_Pitt | i've supposed but if I run it on ubuntu i will have the same problems, maxb ? | 18:37 |
| maxb | You want to do Launchpad development work on Debian? | 18:37 |
| Breaking_Pitt | not only on debian I mean if I have to use ubuntu I can use it | 18:38 |
| maxb | Most Launchpad development happens on Ubuntu, so the documentation and scripts all assume you will use Ubuntu | 18:39 |
| Breaking_Pitt | ok I'll give a try on ubuntu | 18:39 |
| Breaking_Pitt | thanks maxb | 18:39 |
| maxb | Are you installing a new server for this? (How come you can just change distro so easily?) | 18:40 |
| persia | maxb: I change distro several times a day through a combination of VMs and chroots. Once set up, it's not hard to maintain. | 18:41 |

| mwhudson | asabil: would deleting the import and redoing it with bzr-svn be ok? | 20:52 |
| asabil | mwhudson, they moved to git | 20:52 |
| mwhudson | asabil: oh | 20:52 |
| mwhudson | asabil: just request a new import then | 20:52 |
| asabil | oki | 20:52 |
| asabil | mwhudson, but can't you fix the one from ~vcs-imports ? | 20:54 |
| === salgado is now known as salgado-afk | ||
| mwhudson | asabil: well, i can delete it | 20:54 |
| asabil | otherwise lp:ejabberd won't work | 20:54 |
| mwhudson | well that's a different thing | 20:55 |
| mwhudson | i can set that up once you've created a new import | 20:55 |
| mwhudson | asabil: did you just create an import and then delete it? | 20:56 |
| asabil | well, I don't understand why it should be under ~asabil instead of ~vcs-import ? | 20:56 |
| asabil | yes :) | 20:56 |
| mwhudson | asabil: we're making import branches less of a special case | 20:56 |
| mwhudson | asabil: so create the import again, and i can hook it up as lp:ejabberd | 20:57 |
| asabil | okidoki | 20:57 |
| asabil | done | 20:57 |
| asabil | and thanks a lot | 20:57 |
| jack__ | how do you upload to an specific ppa repo of one project? I have more ppa's in the project... | 21:12 |
| gnomefreak | i hate OOPS' | 21:13 |
| jack__ | mmh after upload how long does it take to find it in the repo? | 21:18 |
| jack__ | ? | 21:19 |
| maxb | jack__: I believe the upload processor runs every 5 minutes | 21:19 |
| jack__ | maxb: ok | 21:20 |
| maxb | After that, you can watch the status on the web pages | 21:20 |
| maxb | Likewise, the publisher (that puts finished build results into the repository) also runs every 5 minutes | 21:20 |
| === sabdfl1 is now known as sabdfl | ||
| jack__ | Rejected: | 21:30 |
| jack__ | Unable to find distroseries: unstable | 21:30 |
| jack__ | mmh | 21:30 |
| jack__ | should I put karmic in stead of unstable? | 21:31 |
| maxb | Yes | 21:31 |
| jack__ | in the changelog? | 21:32 |
| sabdfl | jack__: lucid would be unstable, karmic would be stable, wouldn't it? | 21:32 |
| maxb | After all, you are uploading a package to be built in ubuntu, so you need to name an ubuntu distroseries | 21:32 |
| jack__ | and if you copy a package from a lucid ppa to a karmic ppa? | 21:32 |
| jack__ | is that possible | 21:32 |
| maxb | It's seldom wise to copy packages to OLDER distroseries | 21:33 |
| jack__ | ok | 21:33 |
| maxb | The other way is sometimes a reasonable thing to do. It all depends on the package | 21:33 |
| jack__ | maxb: why not ? | 21:42 |
| maxb | Many things can change from distroseries to distroseries. Shared library versions are a big one. | 21:44 |
| jack__ | are you afraid those packages won t build, or are there more dangers | 21:45 |
| maxb | Other things include layouts of files expected by other packages, e.g. things like where python-{support,central} keep control files | 21:45 |
| maxb | jack__: You cannot copy+rebuild a package within an archive, you must either copy binaries too, or upload a new source. | 21:46 |
| maxb | Hence, you can have a package which is uninstallable, or installs but fails to operate correctly | 21:46 |
| jack__ | if you download the source, build it on karmic and then upload it, how's that? | 21:47 |
| jack__ | (the source is from lucid) | 21:48 |
| maxb | Do make sure you change the version number, in a way that the karmic package is less than the lucid package. | 21:49 |
| maxb | Otherwise people upgrading to lucid won't get the package replaced by the proper lucid version | 21:49 |
| jack__ | good tip | 21:50 |
| jack__ | do you build it in a chroot? | 21:51 |
| jack__ | or just on your karmic install | 21:51 |
| maxb | Uh, this is #launchpad, are we not talking about building in PPAs? | 21:52 |
| jack__ | it was about copying packages on launchpad | 21:52 |
| persia | maxb: Even in #launchpad, is it not a good idea to recommend folk test-build locally prior to uploading? | 22:28 |
| al | what's the usual delay for rosetta download link mails? | 23:09 |
| al | been waiting a few hours now | 23:09 |
