mikelifeguardit'll be great!00:00
wgrantThe (not too bad, actually) theory is that the project should link to the right place.00:00
wgrantOther project hosting sites don't provide links from their root, AFAIK.00:01
wgrantBut Launchpad used to.00:02
askhl_Let's consider this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/language-pack-gnome-da/+bug/319649 .  It "affects" a lot of different launchpad groups and projects, and it has different *status* in each of then, which makes no sense as it is only one bug, and surely a bug has only one status.  Am I misunderstanding something?00:27
ubottuLaunchpad bug 319649 in fjel "Notice explaining how to get all translated strings is not translated" [High,In progress]00:27
askhl_Aside from the above, I just downloaded the po-file and checked that the notice apparently has a translation.00:35
Kamping_Kaiseris launchpad supposed to require cookies to log in?00:38
Kamping_Kaiseri just turned them off, and it refused to let me in00:38
wgrantKamping_Kaiser: Yes, as do at least 99.99% of other websites.00:41
wgrantProbably more than that, actually.00:41
Kamping_Kaiserwgrant: yeah. most of the 99.99% i've dealt with warn about 'have you enabled cookies' instead of serving you a cryptic error message though00:43
Kamping_Kaiserwgrant: thanks for confirming, i'll ask for a change to the error00:43
wgrantGood idea.00:44
wgrantKamping_Kaiser: You didn't happen to enable Referer blocking at the same time, did you?00:46
wgrantThe message in the bug is more likely to come from omitting Referer.00:47
Kamping_Kaiserwgrant: not intentionally. i changed firefox 'accept cookies from sites' setting from enabled -> disabled00:47
wgrantHmm.00:47
Kamping_Kaiserwgrant: when i added an exception for launchpad.net, it let me log in again00:47

Luctorquick question : is it possible to check how many times a package from your ppa has been downloaded ? i.e. downloads stats for a ppa ..07:09
wgrantLuctor: I07:10
wgrantI've got a series of branches that does just that in the review queue.07:10
wgrantSo you should see that feature appear in around two weeks, unless something goes really wrong.07:10

nigelbwgrant: you use the latest lplib?07:35
wgrantnigelb: Yes. You may need to replace the login_anonymously() call to use it on an earlier version, but that's about it.07:37
nigelbwgrant: yeah, thats where things went wrong07:38
wgrantReplace it with an older get_token_and_login or login_with call.07:38
nigelbwgrant: is there something like is_member_of (team) kind of action on the api?07:41
nigelbor do I still follow the same process I followed07:41
wgrantinTeam is hard to export safely due to private teams.07:42
nigelbi only want to check if a person is an ubuntu member07:43
wgrantAh.07:43
nigelbi.e., input a team and should return the list of ubuntu members07:43
wgrantnigelb: You may be able to just iterate over person.super_teams to find out if they're in ~ubuntumembers.07:44
wgrantOr you could iterate over all members of both teams, and take the intersection of the sets.07:44
nigelbthats what I'm doing right now07:45
wgrantIdeally you could say person.inTeam(ubuntumembers), but that's not possible yet.07:45
nigelbI wanted to just know if there was a need to iterate07:45
wgrantSadly there is.07:45
nigelblp api is awfully slow07:45
wgrantIt depends where you are.07:45
nigelbespecially with this sort of iteration07:45
wgrantFrom my place in .au it's horribly slow.07:45
nigelbwell, .in and .us too07:46
wgrantFrom a server I control that's just a few milliseconds away from LP, it's much much faster.07:46
wgrantStill not really fast, but quite usable.07:46

pepI'm not sure if I should report a bug, because maybe it's just me not seeing it correctly, but the link in my launchpad profile homepage is not linkified... can someone confirm this? https://edge.launchpad.net/~pep.10:56
pepand hello everyone =) I forgot to greet!10:58
nigelbpep: I didn't understand what you're trying to say10:59
pepWell, in the "Homepage Content" of one's launchpad profile, links are automatically linkified if I'm not mistaken... so there's no need for <a> or [link] tags of some sort.11:00
wgrantpep: I see no homepage content there, but it is normal for it to not be linkified until a day or two after you start doing work in Launchpad.11:01
pepBut for some reason, I don't see my link appearing as such.11:01
wgrant(this is to prevent spammers from using lots of accounts to link to places)11:01
pepOh right, because it used to be linked and formatted, now the new-line and linkification seem to have dissapeared.11:02

nocnokneoI'm a debian packaging newbie looking for a little advice with a ppa build that is failing16:40
nocnokneoi actually have two problems, in the process of trying to re-upload a fixed source package with dputs -f I'm getting a new error16:41
nocnokneoRejected:16:41
nocnokneoFile add-remote-torrent_0.1.diff.gz already exists in nocnokneo, but uploaded version has different contents. See more information about this error in https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/UploadErrors.16:41

nocnokneothanks for the link17:13
nocnokneoI don't see any mention of the case where the upstream creator is also the package maintainer17:13
Some_PersonDo the launchpad build machines have internet access?17:14
nocnokneoin this case do I still use 0.1-1 versioning scheme? or can I just distribute the package with the correct debian/* files and use the orginal 0.1 version number17:14
micahgnocnokneo: the doc give hints on versioning including adding a suffix so you can bump versions of the package without bumping versions of the app17:17
Some_PersonTo rephrase, can I download files as part of building the package?17:21
elmoSome_Person: no17:22
Some_Persondarnit17:22

maxbIt's fundamentally the intent of packaging that everything needed to build the package is actually in the source package and its dependencies, sorry.17:42

wgrantlamont: LP's buildd scanning code has for years had a very odd behaviour where it will avoid scanning builders if they have no assigned DASes with chroots. I'm guessing you don't value that at all?20:59
lamontDASes?21:05
lamontwgrant: I'd love for the builder to tell launchpad what architectures it's willing to build for, and launchpad to schedule builds for all of the above, in some order21:06
lamontmany of our buildds could be building amd64/i386/lpia bits with no extra effort21:06
wgrantlamont: DistroArchSerieses.21:06
wgrantlamont: I have code for both sides that lets LP tell the buildd what arch to be, but it relies on arch configuration in the DB, not the slave.21:07
lamontwgrant: either way, but I want multiple architectures per slave21:07
lamontIthink the "don't scan if no chroots for DAS" is just realizing that we won't actually schedule anything if the buildd is idle, so why bother even looking21:08
wgrantlamont: I think everyone does.21:08
wgrantlamont: Yeah, but that's not going to happen in practice except once we kill hppa properly or introduce a new arch.21:08
wgrantAnd if I can remove the behaviour I can simplify complicated code and delete hundreds of lines...21:09
lamontlpia will be there for a while21:09
lamontas will hppa21:09
lamonthppa/jaunty means that we'll have hppa/hardy until 2013.  ditto for lpia21:09
wgrantRight. So it's probably not going to be useful for years.21:09
lamontlikewise, there shouldn't be any builds queued for any of those architectures, so as long as it doesn't faceplant, I don't care if it scans the builders21:10
wgrantAnd even when it will be, the same can be achieved by marking the builders NOT OK.21:10
wgrantGreat.21:10
wgrantIt just won't do anything -- nothing will break.21:10
lamontwell, hardy-security still gets uploads for both architectures21:10
wgrantRight.21:11
wgrantMy current multi-arch buildd-master implementation is a hack, but the slave is fine. I've been thinking about how to do the master properly.21:11
wgrantShould we allow selection of multiple processors, or should we create capability relations between processors?21:11
lamontso yeah - as long as builds for things that are queued happen, and we don't face plant, I have no issue with scanning the buildd to notice that it's idle,still, lo these 6 months, every pass21:11
lamontthe real crux is that when there isn't a chroot for the DAS, we don't generate build records for uploads to that DS21:12
wgrantRight, that's been done forever and is unrelated.21:12
lamontright21:12
lamontso...21:12
wgrant(although the code is right next to it, for reasons that make no sense and I'm about to fix)21:12
lamontI'm not sure that there is any existing amd64 processor that we would say "never build i386/lpia" on21:12
wgrantRight.21:13
lamontwe do want to have a primary arch for something, I suspect, but we could certainly just have "amd64 only" and "amd64 and possible others"21:13
lamont"amd64 and subset"21:13
wgrantHow would you define when to use the primary arch, and when to not?21:14
wgrantIt might just be easier to provide a list of checkboxes for each builder.21:19
wgrantThat allows full flexibility, and you're never going to need to check more than three.21:20
wgrantlamont: Also, I see you have an lp-buildd umask(022) branch outstanding -- is that going to land at some point? It would be nice to remove the local changes that everyone has.21:22
lamontwgrant: we need to land the umask-in-init.d branch, don't really care about the umask-in-sbuild branch21:28
lamontboth branches have existed at some point :-(  and I think the one I don't care about has landed, and the one we need (karmic and later twisted defaults to 077, which is fatal to our assumptions, and therefore us) so we'll need that for lucid rollout next month21:29
wgrantlamont: Neither has landed.21:30
wgrantumask-in-sbuild has been approved, though.21:30
wgrantI've been using the init.d fix for many months now, but I haven't seen a branch for it besides mine.21:31
lamonthttps://code.edge.launchpad.net/~lamont/launchpad/lpbug-53773321:31
lamontamusingly, that branch seems to have a bunch of unrelated stuff... either I pulled from the wrong place, or I just plain suck at bzr21:32
wgrantLooks like you branched from devel but proposed to db-devel.21:33
wgrantYou should have proposed against lp:launchpad/devel.21:33
wgrantWhich version of lp-buildd is running in production at the moment?21:34
wgrantA post-recipe one?21:34
wgrantBecause we have backwards compat hacks on both sides to cope with the transition, and it would be nice to start killing them before they get forgotten.21:35
lifelesslamont: its not bzr, its how lp dev is structured21:39
lamontI want to say 56 or 57 - which ever it was, it was derived from the prior version rather than from launchpad, since they broke the build in launchpad about the time I needed to roll it21:41
lamontthe init.d change is cowboyed on the karmic buildds (ppc)21:42
wgrantOh, the PPC buildds aren't prehistoric any more?21:42
lamontthey're karmic21:42
lamontamusingly, the only machine that seems to fall over on a regular basis with post-dapper kernels is not a buildd21:42
lamontfor extra credit, tell me how to get an IBM XServe to have a serial console, so I can capture the OOPS and maybe get it fixed.21:43
wgrantHeh.21:43
lamontwas recipe the "run something more than just sbuild" changes?21:53
wgrantlamont: Yes.21:53
lamontthen yeah, we still need to do that transition21:53
lamontremind bigjools to remind me to deal with it and we'll roll something to make it all better21:54
wgrantThe specific change I'm interested in is my lp-buildd 57 in devel.21:54
wgrantWhich renames the primary build manager from 'debian' to 'binarypackage', and adds a 'debian' alias to it.21:54
lamont56 is what we're running21:54
wgrantDamn, OK.21:54
