[02:49] <magcius> how do I make a branch on a project from the command line?
[02:50] <daker> create a folder "your projet"
[02:50] <daker> then $ cd project
[02:50] <daker> $ bzr init
[02:51] <lifeless> magcius: a branch of an existing project? Or initialise a new project?
[02:51] <magcius> lifeless: an existing project
[02:51] <magcius> daker: um
[02:51] <lifeless> daker: ^ an important question to ask, init should only ever be done once per project :)
[02:51] <lifeless> magcius: bzr branch source destination
[02:51] <magcius> lifeless: yes, I have that
[02:52] <lifeless> magcius: or, if you're using switch, you can do 'bzr switch -b destination'
[02:52] <magcius> lifeless: if I branched lp:foo
[02:52] <magcius> lifeless: how do I push to lp:~jstpierre/foo
[02:52] <magcius> lifeless: and create a new branch on the remote
[02:52] <daker> lifeless, sorry
[02:52] <lifeless> magcius: exactly! bzr push lp:~jstpierre/foo
[02:52] <lifeless> magcius: except that foo needs to be project/branch
[02:53] <lifeless> magcius: e.g. bzr push lp:~jstpierre/PROJECTNAME/BRANCHNAME
[02:53] <magcius> lifeless: ~jstpierre/foo is too short to be a branch name.
[02:53] <magcius> lifeless: uh, what do people usually name their forks?
[02:53] <magcius> lifeless: er, branches
[02:53] <nigelb> magcius: depends on what it does
[02:54] <lifeless> magcius: they usually choose a name indicating the intent
[02:54] <magcius> nigelb: it just adds new features that I want them to pull from
[02:54] <lifeless> magcius: like lp:~jstpierre/PROJECTNAME/myfeatures
[02:54] <nigelb> Id name something like jstpierre/foo/newfeatures
[02:54] <magcius> uh... ok
[02:54] <daker> lifeless, i have a problem with milstones https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-website/0.3
[02:54]  * magcius is going to name it foo/master
[02:55] <daker> lp created a tree milstones with the same name
[02:55] <daker> i delete one but the 2 others i can't delete them
[02:57] <lifeless> daker: whomever created them can delete them
[02:57] <lifeless> daker: failing that, gmb might be able to help you
[02:58] <lifeless> (they are the current help contact, according to the topic)
[02:59] <daker> oki
[03:19] <wgrant> daker: They don't all have the same name -- why do you want to delete them?
[03:20] <wgrant> And what happens when you tr?
[03:20] <wgrant> +y
[03:20] <daker> actualy i can't create a milstone with "0.3"
[03:20] <daker> 0.3beta
[03:21] <wgrant> Why not?
[03:21] <daker> and the 0.3beta dosen't exist https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-manual-website/+milestone/0.3beta
[03:22] <wgrant> What does it say when you try and fail to create it?
[03:23] <daker> oki oki i think lp is showing them
[03:23] <daker> it works
[03:24] <daker> thanks wgrant lifeless
[04:45] <kermiac> anyone else having rendering issues in FF using LP edge? Using edge server I get http://imgbin.org/images/1847.png. If I temporarily disable edge it renders properly - http://imgbin.org/images/1848.png
[04:46] <kermiac> I've verified it on 2 diff computers (using 2 diff versions of Ubuntu - 10.04 & 9.04). The 9.04 PC doesn't have lp-firefox-improvements installed, so that's not the issue
[04:47] <thumper> kermiac: yes, edge has css fubared
[04:47] <thumper> kermiac: fix has landed and will be re-rolled with the next edge rollout
[04:47] <kermiac> thanks thumper, it's a known issue then?
[04:47] <thumper> yep
[04:48] <kermiac> ok, awesome.. just making sure it was known. thanks thumper :)
[04:48] <thumper> np
[07:59] <MTecknology> I'm a member of team A, Team A is a member of Team B, Team B is a member of Team C, Team C gets a lot of email that I'm not too intersted in. Is there any way to not have to receive email from that specific team?
[08:45] <magcius> do merge requests track the branch if there are commits after?
[08:49] <james_w> yes
[08:50] <james_w> the diff won't update in response to target branch changes, but will in response to source branch changes.
[08:52] <ansgar> Is there any reason why accessing Launchpad over the API always requires having to authenticate (and create an account first) when the same information is visible on the web site for the public?
[08:53] <james_w> http://blog.launchpad.net/general/anonymous-access-to-the-launchpad-web-service-api
[08:54] <noodles775> or https://help.launchpad.net/API/launchpadlib#Anonymous access  :)
[08:56] <ansgar> Does this safe me from having to use OAuth when I don't use launchpadlib? As far as I know that is only available for Python.
[08:57] <james_w> oauth is available for lots of languages
[09:01] <james_w> but I believe that it still requires oauth
[09:01] <james_w> http://oauth.net/code/
[09:01] <ansgar> Hmm, that means more time investment in having to understand OAuth before as well :/
[09:23] <maxb> https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-code/+question/112695 has expired whilst waiting for losa intervention, and I don't seem to have the powers to reopen it
[09:24]  * mthaddon updates it
[11:25] <apw> can someone comment on whether there is a timescale for fixing bug #451390
[12:25] <deryck> apw, there is no plan for fixing that soon (i.e. next 3 months).  I'll take a look and re-triage.
[12:26] <apw> deryck, its a most annoying bug for anyone who has upload rights via a group, as they have to hastle a coredev every single time they want to approve a nomination
[12:27] <deryck> apw, understood.  I'll see what I can do to get it scheduled.
[12:30] <deryck> apw, I've tagged it into my bug list that I watch for bugs we need to fix sooner rather than later.  There's still a bit of time on this list before we schedule, just due to the number of bugs we have and feature work...
[12:30] <deryck> apw, but this should get it queued to get fixed sooner than later.
[14:19] <jaminc> is there a maximum file size for bug report attachments in Launchpad?  I ask because almost every attempt to report a kernel crash dump fails with an HTTP 500 message and manually attempting to upload the crash file results in a "Sorry, there was a problem connecting to the Launchpad server."
[14:27] <mrevell> gmb, Can you answer jaminc? ^^^#
[14:27] <alf__> Hi all. Is there a way to re-upload the same package (same name) to a PPA if eg the first attempt failed to build for some reason?
[14:29] <oojah> alf__: You'll need to change the version number at least.
[14:29] <noodles775> alf__: not if it was processed..., as oojah said.
[14:30] <noodles775> alf__: for that reason, it's always a good idea to build it locally (using pbuilder) if possible - it'll help identify build failures before you upload.
[14:45] <gmb> mrevell, jaminc: I'm not aware of an upload limit on bug attachments, but it wouldn't surprise me.
[14:46] <gmb> I'll look now
[14:50] <gmb> jaminc, I can't find reference to a limit anywhere. Can you file a bug at http://bugs.launchpad.net/malone so that we can track this properly? The response you're getting sounds as though something's going wrong.
[14:51] <jaminc> gmb, will do... the files are rather large 300M+, some as large as 2.5G so far
[14:51] <gmb> jaminc, Hmm. Yeah, that's on the heavy side :)
[14:51] <gmb> still, LP should handle that better.
[14:52] <gmb> jaminc, It may be worth asking in the #ubuntu-qa channel about how they generally handle uploads of that size.
[14:52] <jaminc> gmb, while on the heavy side for normal reports, 300M is on the low side for kernel crashes
[14:52] <gmb> jaminc, True. So, you're likely hitting a bug.
[14:56] <jaminc> gmb, seems it's a LONG standing bug #95822
[14:57] <gmb> jaminc, Okay, please mark yourslef affected by that and add a comment describing your situation so we can try to chase it down further.
[17:52] <MAfifi> I've a problem.
[17:52] <MAfifi> I've created some projects on launchpad. Now when I review my page of projects, I see one additional project that doesn't belong to me.
[17:53] <MAfifi> Clicking this project's link leads me to its page, but it's no code or anything else attached to it.
[18:00] <bac`> MAfifi: what is your lp user id?
[18:01] <bac`> MAfifi: are you in any teams?
[18:05] <barry> why would a package in a ppa be marked as deleted for many days, and not actually get deleted?
[18:08] <MAfifi> bac: My user ID is mohammed-elafifi.
[18:08] <MAfifi> And I don't belong to any teams; I was the original creator of all my projects.
[18:10] <bac> MAfifi: which project do you see that is in error?
[18:11] <MAfifi> bac: "photo slideshow".
[18:11] <MAfifi> bac: This error has a story actually.
[18:12] <bac> MAfifi: it shows you registered that project and are the maintainer.
[18:12] <MAfifi> bac: I originally wanted to create the project "mobile photo slideshow application" so I filled in the information in the creation page and named it "photo slideshow".
[18:13] <MAfifi> Then when I pressed submit, I got an error message that a project with this name "photo slideshow" already exists. It asked me to change the name.
[18:14] <MAfifi> bac: So I changed it to "mobile photo slideshow application" as it's now and worked on that new name.
[18:14] <MAfifi> bac: However it seemed a project with the old name was created somehow and attached to my account.
[18:14] <MAfifi> It might be a bug in launchpad system, but the procedure for reproducing it isn't straight.
[18:15] <bac> MAfifi: i don't know how the two projects got created.  if you do not want the one called 'slideshow' i can disable it now.  is that what you want?
[18:16] <MAfifi> bac: Yes, if it'll disappear from my list, that's OK for me.
[18:16] <MAfifi> bac: As I'll never commit code on it.
[18:17] <MAfifi> bac: I already add any enchancements/fixes to the one with the other name.
[18:17] <mhall119> So I was impatient and created a project when I should have just created a new series on an existing project, how do I delete the unnecessary project in Launchpad?
[18:20] <MAfifi> bac: It now disappreared, thanks for your help.
[18:32] <bdrung> hi, i wanted to setup a code import for eclipse. the corresponding command is "cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse/ co .", but launchpad complains about the module ".": The CVS module contains illegal characters.
[18:32] <bdrung> is there an way to work around this issue?
[18:33] <bdrung> second request: can someone remove https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/eclipse/trunk ?
[18:37] <maxb> I can, but what's wrong with it?
[18:39] <maxb> About your "." question, I feel dubious about the validity of importing the entire repository into a single bzr branch
[18:41] <maxb> bdrung: ^
[18:43] <jcastro> is there a way in malone to see which people have reported a bug for a certain project?
[18:43] <jcastro> abentley: howdy, how are things looking?
[18:43] <bdrung> maxb: we need 287 directories from there. i don't want to import each manually
[18:44] <deryck> jcastro, so a way to see who has filed bugs against malone, for example?
[18:44] <jcastro> deryck: I want to see everyone who has ever reported a bug on "indicator-appmenu" for example
[18:44] <maxb> bdrung: What do you need them for? I have great difficulty believing that an all-in-one bzr branch would actually be useful
[18:46] <deryck> jcastro, we don't have a way to get at that from the web UI.  You could go the round about way in the API, but there isn't a nice getBugReporters method or some such.
[18:46] <jcastro> ok no worries, thanks for the help deryck!
[18:47] <bdrung> maxb: we need them for building eclipse. we have a script that checkout these directories for a release, but for building daily builds we need an all-in-one bzr branch (all-in-287 bzr branches won't work)
[18:47] <deryck> jcastro, np!
[18:47] <bdrung> maxb: compare http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/ with http://git.debian.org/?p=pkg-java/eclipse.git;a=tree;f=eclipse/plugins;h=f00e93691fc47438bb7b425f062d1e91bf9db481;hb=HEAD
[18:49] <maxb> interesting. I guess Launchpad needs to be changed to allow "." as a module, and then we need to hope cscvs won't fall over
[18:50] <bdrung> maxb: the "module" selection is done in the CVS path: for example ":pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse/" vs "-d:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/webtools/"
[18:51] <bdrung> maxb: should i open a bug report. if yes, against which project
[18:51] <maxb> No, module has a specific meaning in connection with CVS, and it's not the -d bit.
[18:52] <maxb> And yes, it appears that a bug "Launchpad disallows valid CVS module of '.' from being imported" is required, against launchpad-code
[19:11] <abentley> jcastro, hi.
[19:12] <abentley> jcastro, you mean with source package recipe builds?  I'm running a stress-test right now.  If that goes well, we could see it deployed on edge soon.
[20:07] <bdrung> maxb: ok, i opened bug #594294
[20:11] <jcastro> abentley: cool, thanks!
