[00:25] <gord> getting a lot of spam from launchpad tonight
[00:25] <gord> a *lot*
[00:26] <gord> oh wait no its the launchpad-users mailing list if someone could take a look
[00:30] <spm> heh, well 5 isn't a lot, but yes. irritating. chasing.
[00:32] <spm> gord: someone's already beaten me to it. they've been suspended.
[03:35] <nhandler> I just noticed the new /+participation page. I like it. I'm not sure about it displaying my ML status or how it displays only 1 item in the 'Role' column, but it is definitely a lot more helpful now
[09:17]  * Ng curious how the build recipe builds are prioritised. I was playing with it at the weekend and my builds have been >=3 hours away from building since then ;)
[09:17] <lifeless> Ng: 'archive test rebuild'
[09:18] <bigjools> Ng: they are the lowest priority
[09:19] <bigjools> with the exception of the rebuilds
[09:19] <Ng> ok, ta :)
[09:19] <Ng> I figured it would be something like that :)
[09:19] <maxb> Oh, is *that* why the i386 queue is so much longer? :-)
[09:19] <bigjools> Ng: when's that new hardware coming? :)
[09:20] <maxb> When's the buildd dispatcher actually going to start making full use of the existing hardware ? :-)
[09:20] <bigjools> soon!
[09:20]  * bigjools moves to -dev to talk about it if you want
[09:21] <Ng> bigjools: a very good question. as it happens I'm diagnosing some odd failures atm that may bring back some more builders later today :)
[09:21] <bigjools> Ng: \o/
[09:21] <maxb> nah, just wanted to confirm that it was actually in the pipeline
[09:21] <bigjools> very firmly so
[09:21] <bigjools> in fact it would be being worked on right now if the developer concerned wasn't on holiday
[10:54] <lantash1> is jealous of chromium-browser currently being built on 10 PPA builders ^^
[10:56]  * bigjools wonders if the daily builds really need to be on jaunty and karmic
[11:09] <maxb> the daily builds that are immense, anyway
[13:13] <bigjools> we've converted some amd64 builders into i386, should help push those arch-all builds along faster
[13:21] <qense> Are there Vala or C bindings for the Launchpad API?
[13:38] <bigjools> leonardr: ^
[13:39] <leonardr> qense: i don't think so. the only non-python libraries i know of are javascript (which the launchpad website uses) and a c# library in progress
[13:40] <qense> leonardr: The C# library is written from scratch?
[13:41] <leonardr> qense: yes, it's based on a pure c# wadl library. if you're interested i can find out who's working on thnat
[13:42] <qense> leonardr: Not necessary. Just a bit curious. Thanks! I know enough.
[13:42] <leonardr> sure
[13:48] <ricotz> rockstar, hi, can you help me with this error OOPS-1648ED2488 ?
[14:29] <leonardr> ricotz, rockstar won't be in for a couple hours
[15:29] <kklimonda> hey, what is the policy on questions/bug reports like that: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+question/116787 - in debug log you can see that the person is downloading copyrighted work.
[15:30] <charles> I don't know what the policy is, but we can't give technical support to users who've demonstrated that they'll use that support for infringing use
[15:31] <kklimonda> link! :)
[15:36] <charles> kklimonda: here's the relevant part of the limewire ruling: http://pastebin.ca/1895509
[15:37] <charles> my interpretation is that if a user demonstrates they'll use the technical support to share nonfree content, then we can't (and shouldn't) help them
[15:39] <charles> when this issue comes up in the transmission forums, we lock the thread and delete the user's account
[15:40] <charles> actually one of those happened just a few days ago.  here's an example:

[15:59] <geser> when is the next LP rollout?
[16:01] <Ursinha> geser, 23utc, I guess
[16:02] <geser> thanks, then I will wait on a bug fix and not work around it
[16:02] <Ursinha> geser, which one, if I may ask? :)
[16:07] <geser> Ursinha: bug 589073
[17:54] <zul> this is somewhat werid relating to the daily builds in launchpad: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/51467559/buildlog.txt.gz
[18:52] <mtaylor> hey all - I'm trying to register a project, and there is one in the way of the same name which appears to have never been used in the 2 years since its been registered. the user who registered it also has 0 karma
[18:52] <mtaylor> is there any way to kick that project?
[18:53] <tsimpson> you should ask on https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad
[18:54] <mtaylor> tsimpson: cool. thanks
[19:22] <mtaylor> also - there is another project I'm trying to register, and it says that the name is in use, but when I try to go there, it says nothing found
[19:26] <rockstar> mtaylor, it's possible the project was suspended.
[19:26] <rockstar> mtaylor, if you ask a question on Launchpad, it should get taken care of.
[19:26] <mtaylor> rockstar: ok. just filed one
[19:28] <mtaylor> is filing a question still the way to get project group/umbrella projects created?
[19:28] <lifeless> yes
[19:29] <mtaylor> ok
[19:29] <mtaylor> lifeless: at some point I thought I remembered something changing with those. oh well
[19:29] <lifeless> mtaylor: not that I know of (doesn't mean much)
[19:31] <mtaylor> lifeless: bah. I constantly operate under the assumption that you know all
[19:31] <lifeless> hehe
[19:32] <mtaylor> lifeless: if that should prove to be untrue, I think I'm sort of up the creek !
[20:15] <Sensiva> Is it possible to know how many times a bug or a question has been viewed?
[20:15] <lifeless> no
[20:15] <Sensiva> Thanks
[20:15] <Sensiva> that was fast lol
[20:15] <lifeless> we could in principle look at log files to figure it out
[20:16] <Sensiva> Can I request that feature somewhere?
[20:16] <lifeless> but we don't have a db field recording it - and if we did we'd be writing to the DB on every read, but writes are much slower than reads, so its a pretty expensive thing to choose to do.
[20:16] <Sensiva> aha
[20:16] <lifeless> you could file a bug saying you'd love to have this ability.
[20:18] <lifeless> I wouldn't expect it to happen all that quickly, if at all, due to the overhead just mentioned (and also cached pages don't hit our app servers, and what about API's - theres a bunch of ways the counter could be wrong...
[20:18] <lifeless> so it would depend on what you wanted to do with the data, how accurate and precise you needed it to be.
[20:20] <Sensiva> Well, I am trying to find out whether unanswered questions or zero comments bugs are viewed by anyone or not
[22:15] <yuri_> hi any lp staff around?
[22:36] <lamont> wgrant: online yet?
[23:43] <Meths> Is LP just a bit slow at the moment with people doing stuff before it goes ro or did someone push the ro button a bit early?
[23:44] <spm> Meths: probably just all the prerelease prep. it's not R/O yet.
