dhartwgrant: you answered my question about how to request a canonical-hosted instance of launchpad. :-)00:18
wgrantdhart: Oh, right.00:18
thumperdhart: which question?00:19
p_mashoanyone from the launchpad team here. I;d like to know how to creat a ppa, but conly contains data..00:19
thumperp_masho: isn't there a "Create a new PPA" on your user page?00:20
p_mashothere is.. but it seems I have to upload source.. I would like to upload a bunch of files, similar to a zip..00:20
mwhudsonp_masho: ppas contain packages, not data00:22
mwhudsonif you just want to be able to download files, you can do that by registering a release00:22
thumperp_masho: if you just want to upload a zip file, it needs to be associated with a project release00:23

xnoxCan some please re-recreate branch import of svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk with bzr-svn in launchpad? It's not allowing me to request it cause there is the "old" svn export already04:37
mwhudsonxnox: i think it might make sense to wait until incremental imports for svn get deployed next week04:38
xnoxmwhudson, ok. Shall I open a question on lp.net/launchpad-code ? or will you remember =)04:39

mwhudsonshadeslayer: do you block the referer header?05:34
shadeslayermwhudson: whut? im behind a proxy in my college so i really dont know05:34
shadeslayermwhudson: oh and how do i check if its blocked?05:37
spma proxy shouldn't be able to diddle http headers - if you're talking SSL. if it can diddle the headers, you have bigger problems. :-/05:38
spmshadeslayer: it'll depend on your webbrowser and what plugins/extensions, or if windows/ie, what anti-virus/firewall gumpf you have.05:39
mwhudsonshadeslayer: if you don't know then the answer is probably "no"05:43

rdbI mean, is that allowed?09:04
glenis it possible to search for translations, for example how is "Restore" translated for language Foo? https://translations.launchpad.net09:13
dpmglen, it is, but only on a template level basis. I.e. translatable applications expose what we call translation templates in Launchpad. You can go to a given template and search for a word. e.g. -> https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/evolution/+pots/evolution/fr/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=Restore09:21
dpmThat's a search in the Evolution template in Ubuntu Lucid09:21

rdbHow do I do anonymous authentication via the API?10:29
cjwatsonI'm trying to change ~ubuntu-cli-mono-dev's contact address to ubuntu-mono@lists.ubuntu.com.  That mailing list used to be the contact address for ~mono, but it isn't any longer.  However, https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-cli-mono-dev/+contactaddress says "ubuntu-mono@lists.ubuntu.com is already registered in Launchpad and is associated with MOTU Mono Team."  What's up?10:38
cjwatsonhttps://edge.launchpad.net/~mono says that's a lie ...10:38
=== stub1 is now known as stub
Laneywhy shouldn't two teams be able to have the same contact address anyway?10:42
persiaBecause LP uses the email address to identify the person in several cases.10:43
persiaSo each email address has to have a unique person10:44
persiaA team is a special class of person.10:44
Laneyhmm10:44
Laneyseems like a strange overloading10:44

IntuitiveNippleIs there an ongoing problem with edge and main? I'm getting 503 responses this past hour trying to post a bug report. There's nothing on the status page to indicate a problem11:01
intellectronicaIntuitiveNipple: do you get an OOPS?11:09
intellectronicaand if yes what's the oops id?11:09
IntuitiveNippleYes, had loads both from Edge and main: here's the one that just occurred when I did a 'resend' on main: OOPS-1543L103411:09
ubottuhttps://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=1543L103411:09
intellectronicaIntuitiveNipple: will have a look as soon as the oops report becomes available (in 5-10 minutes). sorry for the incovenience11:11
intellectronicaIntuitiveNipple: what project / package are you trying to file the bug on, b.t.w?11:12
IntuitiveNipplenvidia-graphics-18511:12
IntuitiveNippleAt one point I saw a raw zope backtrace returned but like an idiot didn't save it11:12
intellectronicaIntuitiveNipple: so, i can see the oops now. the problem is that when searching for possible duplicates the query timed out.11:15
intellectronicai'm pretty sure we just introduced something to bypass that, so i don't know why that didn't work11:15
wgrantIntuitiveNipple: Do you have JavaScript disabled?11:15
IntuitiveNippleNo11:17
IntuitiveNippleI've just noticed that the initial duplicate search when entering the summary also fails with a report saying to try again with fewer words11:29
intellectronicaIntuitiveNipple: oh, so is the error you're getting at a different step?11:41
IntuitiveNippleintellectronica: Found the problem: I took the package-name to report from the current binary package installed plus seeing the packages other bugs are reported to. I was using "nvidia-graphics-185". Just looked again and realised the source package is "nvidia-graphics-drivers-180" - posting to that has worked, so the problem is a failed package search not being handled correctly11:42
IntuitiveNippleintellectronica: The error (503 Service Unavailable) related to that OOPs I gave you happened after I posted the bug report itself11:42
intellectronicaIntuitiveNipple: i see11:43
IntuitiveNippleLaunchpad wasn't offering me an option to search for the package to report on so I guessed it. I found just now that after trying a different guessed package-name that launchpad responded with 'unknown package' and gave me the option to "Choose..." which helped me ID the correct package11:44
cjwatsonLaney: how else would you accept bug comments by e-mail?11:54
Laneycjwatson: Teams don't tend to make bug comments11:54
cjwatsonanyway, I think this is somewhat beside the point of my original question, because the ~mono team doesn't have that e-mail address attached any more11:54
cjwatsonsure11:54
cjwatsonI don't want to sidetrack too much, I'd rather solve the problem at hand11:54
Laneyyes of course11:54
Laneynow this is related ... how can I subscribe a person to a package with lplib? I can't find out how to get access to structural_subscription_target11:55
wgrantLaney: structural_subscription_target is really an interface. Get a distribution_source_package and use that.11:56
Laneywgrant: I have a source_package object but see nothing about subscriptions11:59
wgrantLaney: source_package is really distro_series_source_package.11:59
wgrantYou need a distribution_source_package.12:00
Laneyoh12:00
Laneylet me try that12:00
Laneywgrant: much better, many thanks12:01
LaneyDo you have any insight into our email query?12:01
wgrantLaney: Excellent.12:01
wgrantWell, teams are people.12:01
wgrantSo the email uniqueness thing makes sense.12:02
wgrantWhat doesn't make sense is that you can't actually remove an address.12:02
wgrantThat is a bug.12:02
wgrantThat gets brought up every so often.12:02
wgrantI'm not sure it's actually reported.12:02
cjwatsonCurtis asserts in bug 488160 that there is such a bug, but doesn't say which.12:10

cjwatsonsinzui: no.  In https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-registry/+bug/488160/comments/1, you say "There is a bug that you cannot unassign them to use them with another team."  Do you have a reference for that bug?12:32

ubottuLaunchpad bug 250103 in launchpad-registry "Teams cannot delete old email addresses" [Low,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/25010312:34
cjwatsonah, thank you12:34
cjwatsonI'm not sure that matches the situation here12:35
cjwatsonsinzui: In this case, ~mono used to have ubuntu-mono@lists.ubuntu.com as its contact address; this has been unset by the team administrator, but I still can't set ~ubuntu-cli-mono-dev's contact address to ubuntu-mono@lists.ubuntu.com, since it complains that it's in use by ~mono (which it used to be, but isn't any more).  Is that the same bug or a different one?12:36
sinzuicjwatson: because you cannot delete an address, and you cannot see the address is still there when you think you removed it, you experience errors when the address is reused12:36
sinzuicjwatson: so as I said, you only marked the address as inactive, you did not delete it. only the address owner can use the address...12:37
cjwatsonwell, *I* didn't, somebody else did, but OK12:37
sinzui...which is stupid because we all no a real person controls the address12:37
* sinzui had hoped to fix this bug last week but is drowning in other issues12:38
cjwatsonIs it possible for a LOSA to delete addresses on a case-by-case basis, or is that verboten?12:38
sinzuicjwatson: yes. a losa has a sql script that can really delete the address12:38
cjwatsonOK, I'll file a question then, thanks12:38
cjwatsonLaney: actually, could you follow up to https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad-registry/+question/104791 indicating that the db delete still needs to be performed?  Since I didn't file the question, I can't really reopen it12:41
Laneycjwatson: Yes, will do in a minute12:44
