dickelbeckcan someone help me with merge@code.launchpad.net?01:38
spivdickelbeck: probably, what's up?01:39
dickelbeckI sent a couple of emails to that address today, the first few were not properly signed, and finally the very last one was.01:40
dickelbeckAll had the same merge bundle attached.01:40
dickelbeckOne good email at the end which was not bounced back.01:41
dickelbeckThe nature of the bundle was that it was against a private branch, so the patch was included.01:41
dickelbecklaunchpad created 3 new branches at project kicad, and did not actually modify the merge request list at all.01:42
dickelbeckIt looks like a bug, but I am finding the workflow requirement of launchpad net to be not a good match for our project.01:43
spivthumper: you around?  I think you could help dickelbeck.01:58

MTecknologyI'm not able to tell my project that I want to have code in Launchpad....05:18
MTecknologyI feel like I may have found a bug in LP..05:20
wgrantMTecknology: Why can't you?05:22
MTecknologywgrant: usually there's a nifty link off to the right side saying Configure Code or something simmilar05:23
MTecknologyNow it's a grayed out "Submit code" with a /!\ beside it05:24
wgrantMTecknology: Is the no 'Configure project branch' link underneath it?05:24
micahgMTecknology: is this for your private project?05:24
wgrantThere should be, if you have sufficient privileges.05:24

MTecknologyhere...05:26
MTecknologyhttps://code.launchpad.net/~nginx     https://code.launchpad.net/ninx05:26
wgrantMTecknology: Why is the project name missing the 'g'?05:27
wgrantThe branches owned by ~nginx are in the 'nginx' project.05:27
MTecknologyhttps://code.launchpad.net/nginx **05:27
wgrantSo searching in the 'ninx' project won't find them.05:28

MTecknologywgrant: any change I could get a rename from ninx to nginx-server ?05:29
MTecknologyprobably with an answer request..05:29
wgrantwhy nginx-server?05:30
wgrantIsn't nginx a server?05:30
MTecknologyya, but I guess somebody took nginx and never did anything with it05:30
MTecknologyI missed the g creating the project05:31
wgrantDoesn't mean you should create a new project.05:31
wgrantYou could perhaps convince an admin to give the project, or configure it in the way you require.05:31
MTecknologyI'll try to get a hold of that guy first05:32
MTecknologywgrant: could you read the mail I'm about to send him and let me know what you think?05:41

dickelbeckwhy is my merge/bundle/patch request send to merge@code.launchpad.net is not going into https://code.launchpad.net/kicad/+activereviews12:28
dickelbeckThe email was signed, the openpgp key is on file, no bounce back error was received.12:28
deryckdickelbeck, hi.  Not sure if I can help, but can you point me at a branch that you requested a merge for?12:37
dickelbecklp:kicad  aka https://code.launchpad.net/~kicad-testing-committers/kicad/testing12:39
* deryck looks12:40
deryckdickelbeck, I don't see a proposed merge there.  To what branch did you want it merged, and how did you propose the merge?12:41
dickelbeckby email to merge@code.launchpad.net,  using bzr send -o fullpath.bundle and then attaching it and signing it in my mail client.12:42
dickelbeckI first got 3 bounce backs because I was not signing it properly, then on the last attempt it seemed OK.12:42
dickelbeckFunny thing, for awhile yesterday, there were 3 new branches created under the project umbrella that had my name in them, and "merge" also in the branch name.12:43
dickelbeckNow they are gone.  I think the email handler that receives these emails is very weak.12:44
deryckdickelbeck, ok, were you proposing merging lp:kicad into another branch?  Or trying to propose another branch into lp:kicad?12:44
dickelbeckmerge into lp:kicad12:44
dickelbeckI can send you the bundle if you want.12:46
deryckdickelbeck, what is the link of the branch you proposed from then?12:46
dickelbeckit was a local branch, launchpad would not have access to it, therefore the bundle included the patch.12:46
dickelbeckIt was a problem fix branch, made locally here from a checkout (copy of lp:kicad)12:47
deryckdickelbeck, I'm not a code expert on lp, but I believe the branch you're proposing from has to be pushed to lp, which may be the problem here.12:49
deryckrockstar or abentley could help us here if they were around.12:50
dickelbeck"has to be pushed to lp", if true, would contradict the documentation I think.  This is the reason why the bundle includes the patch (optionally).12:51
dickelbeckwhen are these guys available? what time zone?12:51
deryckdickelbeck, rockstar is normally GMT -7 but is sprinting this week so generally hit or miss.  abentley is GMT -4, I believe, so should be around soonish.12:52
thekorndickelbeck, I'm also not an expert, but your three branches from yesterday are marked as "merged" https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~dickelbeck/+branches?field.lifecycle=ALL&field.lifecycle-empty-marker=1&field.sort_by=most+recently+changed+first&field.sort_by-empty-marker=112:53
dickelbeckthekorn, what is this supposed to be telling me, about 3 branches that I did not even create?12:54
rockstarderyck, hi13:10
rockstardickelbeck, hi, how can I help?13:10
deryckyo rockstar!13:10
deryckrockstar is better than windows 7 bitches!13:11
dickelbeckHi rockstar, can you see any history in the discussion?13:11
rockstarderyck, that doesn't really set the bar high does it?13:11
deryckheh13:11
rockstarGetting kicked in the balls is better than Windows 7.13:11
rockstardickelbeck, I can, and am reading.  Why don't you summarize?13:12
dickelbeckI unable to affect https://code.launchpad.net/kicad/+activereviews by mailing to merge@code.launchpad.net13:13
dickelbeckMy merge bundle is in hand, I can send it to you somehow.  It wants to merge into lp:kicad from a local, non-accessible bug fix branch, and includes the patch in the bundle.13:14
rockstardickelbeck, how did you generate the bundle?13:14
dickelbeckbzr send -o13:15
rockstardickelbeck, so the bundle got attached then?13:15
dickelbeckdo you want to see the bundle?   Sorry, that was "bzr send -o fullpath.bundle"13:16
dickelbeckthen I attached it to a new email, signed it, sent it.13:16
Italian_Plumberwhen I click on "How to get the fingerprint" on the launchpad page for "Change your OpenPGP Keys", I get a pop up that shows its loading but never loads any content.  Is there somewhere else I can find out how to get the fingerprint?13:33
poolieItalian_Plumber, just do 'gpg --fingerprint me@example.com' or whatever is the address in your key13:36

rockstardickelbeck, sorry.13:59
rockstardickelbeck, you signed the email?13:59
rockstardickelbeck, and out of curiousity, why not `bzr send` ?14:00
dickelbeckI sent the same email a couple of times, fighting with my email client at first.  On the 3rd or fourth attempt it was signed properly, the first few not.14:00
rockstarEr, why not let bzr take care of attaching the email, etc.14:00
rockstarDoes launchpad know about your key?14:00
dickelbeckbzr send, did not put in the destination address properly, the recipient field in thunderbird was empty.14:01
dickelbeckyes launchpad has the key.  The first few bad emails gave me bounce backs, the last one did not trigger any objections.14:01
rockstardickelbeck, if you put "submit_to = merge@code.launchpad.net" into your ~/.bazaar/bazaar.conf, it'll set the recipient properly.14:02

dickelbeckAgain, I still have the bundle, all this information is in there.14:05
rockstardickelbeck, hm, I'm not sure here.14:10
dickelbeckwhere is the source to this email processor?  how can we get a look at it?14:11
dickelbeckThis is a big deal to me, since it affects the overall utility of launchpad.net.  our contributors are drive by contributors, don't want to push branches.14:12
rockstardickelbeck, bzr branch lp:launchpad/devel14:12
rockstardickelbeck, they already have accounts on Launchpad, right14:13
dickelbeckand patches on the mailing list seem to be hard to keep track of and comment on.ulling things from the mail list14:13
dickelbeckYesterday was a big blow to my enthusiasm about moving this project to launchpad as a whole.14:13
wgrantHmm, why can't they push branches?14:13
dickelbeckBecause they cannot afford to spend 3 days learning how, they are drive by contributors.14:14
dickelbeckI need a patch manager.14:14
wgrantAdd SSH key, bzr push lp:~username/project/branch14:14
dickelbeckThe launchpad model is not meeting my needs.14:14
dickelbeckRight now I pull most of the patches down from the mailing list.  I am getting buried.  The website needs a patch manager.14:15
bigjoolsit's easy enough to attach patches to bugs14:17
dickelbeckbigjools, true.   That may be what I will have to institute.14:17
dickelbeckNo way can I trash launchpad now that I was the guy the moved the project here by less than a fully democratic process.14:18
MethsCan you merge a bug attachment?  How does having a patch on a bug differ that much from having a patch on an email?14:19
bigjoolsI think that pushing branches is probably easier than emailing or attaching them to bugs, it's just the case that people like to do what they know already14:19
dickelbeckThe whole usage model is not ideal.  The site needs a patch manager, or google for "code review software".  If I cannot get bundles in by email, then what?14:20
bigjoolsabentley may have more advice than I can offer when he's around14:20
wgrantYou can email bundles in.14:21
wgrantit's obviously just not quite working in this particular case.14:21
wgrantBut pushing branches is almost always easier...14:21
dickelbeckwgrant, please.  It is not working, please read the history of this dialog.14:21
wgrantI know it's not working *in this particular case*.14:21
wgrantIn the general case it works fine.14:21
bigjoolspeople are put off because it's "different"14:21
bigjoolsor perceived to be hard14:22
maxbHowever it's not well documented, and the gpg signing requirement can be tricky14:22
MTecknologyIs there any help page for building recipe contents?14:22
dickelbeckI'm was even willing to volunteer to take patches off the mailing list and put them into https://code.launchpad.net/kicad/+activereviews14:24
dickelbeckby way of email, but I am unable to do it.14:24
bigjoolsI effectively email patches by doing "bzr send"14:25

dickelbeckbigjools, are these bundles from a private branch against a public branch?14:25
MTecknologybigjools: thanks14:27
bigjoolsdickelbeck: it generates a diff of two branches, doesn't matter where they are14:27
bigjoolswell, one is local obviously14:27
bigjoolswhen abentley comes in, I'll ask him to chat to you, he knows more than I on this14:27

hannieBut now e2 has changed from 70 % translated to 39%15:00
mthaddonlifeless: can't someone from within the team unsubscribe?15:01
daniloshannie, oh, right, that's because they are using message sharing: I should have thought of that earlier15:01
hannieCan it be fixed?15:01
daniloshannie, basically, since those two have mostly the same messages, they get applied to both when lucid-e2 messes them up15:02

bigjoolsI have done this myself and it's fine16:22
X3it just spews out these packages are from untrusted source and could compromise your system bla bla bla16:22

bigjoolsso you copied packages in, then immediately tried to download them16:45
bigjoolsapt-get update complains because there's no signing key yet16:45

bigjoolsis there anything you think we can do to make the experience better?16:48
X3i knew about keys but once the ppa has packages and they published if key is not ready then it shouldnt appear on ppa until it is16:49
X3yes pls16:49
X3if the keys are not ready for that ppa, the ppa should not show ready status16:49
bigjoolssome people accept the warning and download the packages anyway16:49
bigjoolswe could put a status on new PPA pages saying the key is not ready yet16:49
X3aye that not the problem16:50
X3ya the satus is good way to go16:50
bigjoolsok thanks for the feedback16:50
X3thx for help16:50

dickelbeckbigjools, next time you email in a bundle to merge@code.launchpad.net, can you cc:  dick@softplc.com ?  TIA.  Just want to compare email constructions.16:59
=== fta_ is now known as fta
=== dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates
dickelbeckabentley: can you help with merge@code.launchpad.net mail processing?17:10
abentleydickelbeck, sure, what's the issue?17:11
dickelbeckYesterday I emailed a bundle, which included  a patch since the changes were from a local branch, and they never made it to the destination branch.17:13
dickelbeckthe destination branch was lp:kicad and the mail was signed.17:13
dickelbeckI did not get any email error notification back on the last attempt, whereas I had gotten some bounce backs until I got my signing to happen.17:14
maxbdickelbeck: Perhaps you could pastebin the source of the message you sent?17:14
dickelbeckmaxb: excellent idea, you are the first to ask.17:15
* maxb wonders why this doesn't have more than a one-sentence mention on help.lp.net17:16
abentleymaxb, it's not our recommended way of submitting changes.17:16
maxbYet its existence is public, and not cautioned against. Thus, it ought to be documented sufficiently to not be a path to frustration17:17
abentleydickelbeck, our logs don't indicate that we attempted to process a merge directive yesterday, much less that processing failed.17:19
abentleydickelbeck, so how about that pastebin?17:20
=== beuno is now known as beuno-lunch
dickelbeckyou want me to use http://paste.ubuntu.com/ ?  if so, it seems hung now.17:20

abentleydickelbeck, I'm sorry, but it looks like we don't have sufficient logging to track down what happened.17:42
dickelbeckwell this particular bundle is already obsolete.  How can I get this to work?  Can bzr send the bundle itself, not using a mail client?17:43
dickelbeckmaybe somebody can just cc: me on an email that is expected to pass the codehandler.py and I can look for differences.17:44
abentleydickelbeck, yes, it can use the "editor" mail client for example.17:44
shadeslayerQuintasan: :D17:44
dickelbeckabentley: never header of the editor mail client, what is that and why would it be better than thunderbird w/ enigmail?17:45
abentleydickelbeck, it's documented in the "send" command.  It's not better than thunderbird, but it is the answer to the question "Can bzr send the bundle itself, not using a mail client."17:46
MTecknologyI'm trying to build a recipe that drops the debian/ from another branch into the source and builds. When I try to build it I get the error bzr: ERROR: Branches have no common ancestor, and no merge base revision was specified.17:47
dickelbeckNo, it does not answer the question.  If "editor" is going to send the email, then bzr is not sending the email?  My question was can the python code in bzr do the SMTP protocol and send the bundle?17:48
abentleydickelbeck, "editor" is a pseudo-mail client supported by the "send" command, and is entirely bzr.  Mail sent using this pseudo-mail client is sent by bzr itself.17:50
maxbabentley: editor cannot be used to send to Launchpad, because it cannot gpg-sign..... unless I've missed a trick?17:50
abentleymaxb, this is true.17:50
MTecknologyIf anyone has the chance, could you peak at my build recipe and tell me what I screwed up on? https://code.launchpad.net/~nginx/+recipe/nginx-stable17:52
maxbabentley: Regarding the auto-create MP via email thingy - am I correct in thinking that this entails LP creating a branch from the bundle first, and that the name of the branch you want created needs to be in the bundle metadata?17:52
abentleydickelbeck, here is the source of a message I sent that was successfully handled by merge@code.launchpad.net: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/467103/17:52
abentleymaxb, the name of the branch does not need to be in the bundle metadata.17:53
abentleymaxb, It's true that LP creates the branch from the bundle.17:53
maxbHow will launchpad decide it, then?17:53
abentleymaxb, It prefers to use the name in the merge directive, but if there is none, it uses "merge" with an optional digit prefix.17:54
maxbah, ok17:54
abentleydigit *suffix* actually.17:54
dickelbeckbtw, yesterday LP created these funny branches yesterday for me, one for each failed attempt I think.  So the sequence is out of kilter, these first 3 attempts were not properly signed emails.17:54
dickelbeckThen the final email was signed, and it was dropped?  Should I switch the project back to sourceforge?  :)17:55
maxbMTecknology: I think, perhaps, that you want to *nest* not *merge* the packaging17:55
abentleydickelbeck, I would suggest using the lp-propose command instead.17:55
MTecknologymaxb: thanks :)17:56
maxbMTecknology: also, I'd suggest testing whether the recipe works locally, rather than waiting for Launchpad to process17:56
dickelbeckabentley:  Only if you remove all the documentation from the LP site that says I can use email, and that cost me 3 days so far.17:56
MTecknologymaxb: how do I do that?17:57
dickelbeckThe documentation should not be there if somebody is not to use it.  I am not able to ask my developers to push a branch, some of them are "drive by" contributors.17:57
dickelbecklunch.17:58
abentleydickelbeck, your request to remove documentation is overbroad-- one aspect of doing this by mail didn't work, not all aspects.18:00
abentleydickelbeck, I routinely use email for commenting and making reviews.18:00
abentleydickelbeck, this is the first report I've had that this feature doesn't work.18:00
MTecknologyThat's about the only way I add comments for merging18:01
abentleydickelbeck, anyone who wants to propose a merge must have a launchpad account and bzr, so I don't understand why pushing would be an undue burden on drive-by contributors.18:02
MTecknologyabentley: nest pyfoo lp:pyfoo foo <-- pyfoo is just a tag that you add and foo is?18:03
MTecknologyabentley: sorry to cause you headaches today18:03
abentleyMTecknology, foo is the directory where you want to place the contents of lp:pyfoo18:04
MTecknologyif you want it just in / then omit?18:04
abentleyMTecknology, in the common case, it will be "debian".18:04
MTecknologythe branch I'm adding has a debian/ in it18:04
abentleyMTecknology, the nest command does not support that.18:05
abentleyMTecknology, if possible, use "merge" instead.18:05
bullgard4I am familiar with reporting a bug to Launchpad.  Today I would like to put a question concerning Empathy 2.28.3 to Launchpad. How to do that?18:05
MTecknologyabentley: I tried that and it didn't like me18:05
MTecknologyabentley: I got an error in the build log pasted a little further up18:05
MTecknologyHere's the whole build log  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/52269713/buildlog.txt.gz18:06
abentleyMTecknology, you'll need to create a new branch whose contents are just the debian directory, then.18:06
MTecknologyabentley: https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~nginx/ninx/debian18:08
MTecknologyabentley: or do you mean a new branch that has only a debian directory and nothing else that I merge?18:09
abentleyMTecknology, no, without a debian directory in it.18:09
abentleyMTecknology, just the contents of the directory.18:09
abentleyIn the root.18:09
MTecknologyabentley: I suppose it'd be easy enough to change that import..18:10
MTecknologyjust append /debian to it18:11

MTecknologymaxb: Is there any chance you could change the svn import location for that branch - or is it not changeable?18:14
dickelbeckabentley:  your pastebin does not show the full email, I believe you have to ask thunderbird to "View -> Message Source" to get the full signature stuff at the end.18:14
francovalledorsomebody help me18:14
abentleydickelbeck, no, the signatures are inline and only the message body is signed.18:15
dickelbeckabentley:  wait, I do see your signature, but not at the end.  So we are seeing a difference here.18:15
maxbMTecknology: bzr-builder really doesn't support nesting a branch containing just a debian dir?!18:16
maxbthat's a fairly obvious thing to want to do18:16
abentleymaxb, yes really.18:16

jasemHi. I have a weird problem. Tried to upload my package to ppa several times but didn't get an email, then suddenly I get an email saying: The source libindi - 0.6.2-0ubuntu1 is already accepted in ubuntu/maverick and you cannot upload the same version within the same distribution19:57
jasemHowever, there is no such version in Maverick (it's 0.6.1 there). Why do I get this error?19:57
micahgjasem: https://edge.launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+archive/ppa/+builds?build_state=built19:57
jasemmicahg: nothing there for today19:58
micahgjasem: that version has already been uploaded19:58
jasemmicahg: uploaded where exactly? to my PPA? I deleted the package and reuploaded then got this error19:59
micahgjasem: yes, you can't reupload the same version19:59
jasemmicahg: I actually changed the control file under debian, is that still considered the "same" version?20:00
jasemplus, I deleted it from my ppa, so why can't I reupload?20:01
micahgjasem: the version string in the changelog is what changes the "version", you can't reupload 0.6.2-0ubuntu1 once it's been accepted, but you can upload 0.6.2-0ubuntu1~ppa1 if the other one was deleted20:01
geserjasem: LP remembers the version you uploaded and doesn't reupload it as it confuses apt clients20:03
jasemmicahg: hmmm OK.20:03
maxbMTecknology: It looks to me like recipe builds are broken on maverick due to aptitude being removed from the base system, and pbuilder not being fixed to compensate20:05

abentleydickelbeck, I'll have a better idea once it syncs, which should be any minute now.20:31

maxbtyarusso: What are you trying to do, and what is not working? I don't understand your explanation so far20:58
tyarussoThen I have to go change the URL to remove "login.", then log in *again* to Launchpad with OpenID, and then sometimes I have to do that step twice.20:58
tyarussomaxb: Trying to log in.  What is not working is that after doing so I end up on a completely useless page instead of where I was trying to go, and have to jump through more hoops to do anything.20:59
abentleydickelbeck, lp-propose is intended to be used instead of bundles.21:00
dickelbeckabentley, I am on the edge now.  I have reached the conclusion the Launchpad was a mistake, we should have stayed at sourceforge, where they have a bug tracker.21:01
maxbtyarusso: I do not have that experience. Let me log out and in again and see what happens.21:01
dickelbeckabentley, I suspect it is not for lack of effort, but the whole concept is not meeting our needs.  We have too many patches, coming in from too many folks who will simply not be able to jump all the hoops you have set.21:02
tyarussomaxb: Log all the way out, clearing openid identification.21:02
maxbtyarusso: So, it works properly in the page flow when you visit launchpad.net, and get prompted to authenticate21:03
abentleydickelbeck, I'm sorry it didn't work out.  I hope you're happier at sourceforge.21:03
dickelbeckAny body know of a good code review software that let's a project maintainer post patches, have them be commented on, and eventually merged?  I don't see it here.21:03

maxbMTecknology: *shrug* I don't really care - the defaults are never going to be *exactly* what I want. I expect to need to customise the package selection.21:13
poolieMTecknology, what package is that?21:14
MTecknologypoolie: aptitude21:14
abentleyMTecknology, doesn't the package itself specify the architectures?21:14
maxbMTecknology: I do not know. But I wouldn't care about it. After all, PPAs only support those two anyway, from lucid onwards21:14
MTecknologyabentley: oops- it does21:14
maxbabentley: That sounds depressingly possible.... in which case this entire feature is broken in any project with a development focus branch? :-/21:15
MTecknologyGetting the recipe to work just so is very hard for the beginner :P21:17
* maxb breaks the development focus designation and resubmits email21:18
abentleymaxb, the same symptoms are here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/52263721:18
ubot5Launchpad bug 522637 in Bazaar "BzrCheckError: Cannot add revision(s) to repository: missing referenced chk root keys (affected: 11, heat: 57)" [High,In progress]21:19
MTecknologyI just realized that the changelog between versions can be different....21:19
MTecknologywill be*21:19
MTecknologyI was trying to build two version with the same debian/21:19
MTecknologyWhich works except for the actual version created is wrong then21:20
MTecknologyIf only the recipe allowed me to download a changelog file and run a script inside of another branch to get the actual changelog :P21:21
MTecknologymaxb: probably a feature that won't ever exist?21:21
maxbIt seems unlikely21:22
maxbHmm, still oopses without stacking in the equation: OOPS-1663CMP421:23
ubot5https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=1663CMP421:23
MTecknologymaxb: so - can a 'nest' overwrite files?21:27
maxbI do not know :-)  I have never actually tried a recipe build!21:27
MTecknologyoh..21:28
abentleyMTecknology, I don't think it can.21:30
MTecknologyabentley: poopy - I was going to nest the upstream debian/ contents and then just overwrite the changelog file21:31
=== fta_ is now known as fta
MTecknologyabentley: otherwise I need to just make a whole clone of it21:31
abentleyMTecknology, you're aware that the recipe specifies the debian version, right?21:32
abentleymaxb, OOPS-1663CMP4 looks like the same issue.21:33
ubot5https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=1663CMP421:33
tyarussoI wish there was a way to make the recipe just use the entire version for changelog21:33
maxbhmm. Not stacking related then.21:33
tyarussoand not build if it hadn't been changed.21:33
abentleytyarusso, daily builds only build if one of the branches has changed.21:33
abentleytyarusso, I don't know what you mean about "just use the entire version for changelog".21:34
tyarussoabentley: I know - I want to base it off debian/changelog instead of bzr revision.21:34
abentleytyarusso, I believe there's a substitution for that.21:34
tyarussoeg, use "1.0-1ppa7"21:34
MTecknologyabentley: Ya, but I was trying to make the deb version actually 'right' - like '0.8.46-0ppa1' or s/ppa1/~lucid/ - If I use the default it builds as revno~lucid - but the revno has nothing to do with the version21:34
tyarussoabentley: I found one for the upstream part (1.0) but can't find anything for the rest so far.21:34
MTecknology{debupstream} won't work because the upstream version will change21:35
MTecknologyNow... If I could do {lasttag:branch}+0 <- that would be awesome21:36
MTecknologybecause I tagged each commit with the actual version number21:36
MTecknologyabentley: any chance that could be an approved feature request? :D - Without suggesting I have a clue how to add that feature21:37
abentleyMTecknology, you'd do much better talking to james_w.  I don't control the featureset of bzr-builder.21:38
MTecknologyjames_w: pretty please :)21:39
MTecknologytyarusso: is that something that would work well for you?21:39
tyarussoMTecknology: uh, maybe21:39
abentleyMTecknology, could you explain why it's bad that the upstream version will change?21:40
micahgderyck: is it worth filing a bug if I get a timeout?21:41
micahgor should I just comment on the timeout bug?21:42
deryckmicahg, depends.  It might be a dupe of one lifeless has already filed.  So a comment or further info would be more helpful on those bugs.21:42
deryckif you can find the other bugs with all the timeouts now ;)21:42
micahgderyck: ok, I've been getting a few a day, so I'll comment when I have them21:42
deryckmicahg, thanks!21:42
MTecknologyabentley: not that it changes - if the changelog says 0.7.34-0 <- that's great. The problem is when I build two versions - the source code for 0.8.37 will still use that changelog version (makes sense that it would) even though it's actually a different version21:43
MTecknologyabentley: {debupstream} works perfect for the one source - not the other21:43
abentleyMTecknology, what makes it perfect for one but wrong for the other?21:44
MTecknologyabentley: https://code.launchpad.net/~nginx/+recipe/nginx-stable   https://code.launchpad.net/~nginx/+recipe/nginx-development21:44
MTecknologystable is at version 0.7.67 ={debupstream} &&  development is at version 0.8.4621:46
abentleyMTecknology, if your changelog has the wrong version number, you wouldn't want to use it with development anyhow, right?21:47
MTecknologyabentley: the debian/ for both is exactly the same except for version number21:48
MTecknologyabentley: that's why I was wondering about overwriting one file like that21:48
abentleyMTecknology, what about just specifying the right version number in the recipe?21:49
MTecknologyabentley: because then I'd need to change it every time I build it - I was shooting for magicness21:49
MTecknologygranted a separate branch would be about the same..21:50
MTecknologyhrm..21:52
MTecknologyHow can I specify what a branch is stacked against?21:57
MTecknologyor - what it refers too -however that's stated21:58
MTecknologyor I can look at the help :P21:58
abentleyMTecknology, the default stacking branch is the development focus.  You can try specifying one at the commandline, but I can't remember whether that works.22:07
MTecknologyabentley: doesn't seem to22:09
MTecknologyabentley: I feel like I'm being a huge thorn :P22:09
abentleyMTecknology, sometimes it goes that way, and recipe builds are a new feature, so of course there are gaps.22:10
MTecknologyabentley: I just learned how to use bzr build :D22:11
MTecknologyabentley: and you're right.. can't overwrite the changelog... I suppose unless I do the nest - and then merge22:12
MTecknologyabentley: the ability to make a package just by changing a branch is really amazing - I WILL make it work :P22:14
MTecknologyabentley: YES!22:30
MTecknologyabentley: wait.. I built a recipe that worked perfect locally - but I can't use it in LP22:31
MTecknology'run' isn't allowed in recipies on launchpad?.. :(22:33
MTecknologyThat would have been absolutely perfect.22:34
MTecknologyrockstar: any chance you could help me out in query a little bit?23:10
MTecknologyinstead of flooding the channel more..23:11

wgrantWhich format is the source?23:29
wookeyhttp://pastebin.ubuntu.com/467228/23:30
wookeyI changed it to quilt23:30
wookeythat email seems to be reporting v1.8, which I'm not sure is valid?23:30
wgrantThat's the .changes version, which is fine.23:30
wookeyah, OK23:31
wookeyso debian/source/format says 3.0 (quilt)23:31

wgrantdpkg-source: error: remove patch backup file therion-5.3.3/lxGLC.cxx.orig.dpkg-orig: No such file or directory23:46
wgrantThat's the error that our backported dpkg gives.23:46

wgrantwookey: That's fine.23:51
wgrantThe override exists for just this purpose.23:51
wookeyOK, cheers for checking. looks like a dpkg-source behaviour mismatch. Still that file should be there, so I'll kill it and try again23:53
wookeys/should/shouldn't23:53
wookeygetting late!23:53
wgrantLucid's dpkg extracts it fine, but our Hardy backport does not.23:54
