[01:27] <kklimonda> what to do if the external repository address has changed? how to make LP pull the new one? Can I (or the LP project admin) do it myself or do I have to ask you? :)
[01:30] <spiv> I think you can change it (for mirrors, perhaps not for imports?) if you own the branch.  If not I'm sure if you file a request at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad-code that it can be changed for you.
[01:31] <mwhudson> kklimonda: which branch is it?
[01:31] <kklimonda> lp:transmission
[01:40] <mwhudson> kklimonda: what's the new url?
[01:41] <kklimonda> svn://svn.transmissionbt.com/Transmission (or svn://svn.transmissionbt.com/Transmission/trunk for trunk)
[01:42] <mwhudson> kklimonda: updated
[01:42] <kklimonda> thanks
[08:37] <krisives> Does Launchpad let others donate hardware to improve build speed?
[08:38] <lifeless> we don't have a process for doing that at the moment; if you're serious (and it would have to be datacentre ready machines etc), 'flacoste', here would be the dude to speak to. However hes in US time zones
[08:42] <krisives> Im in the US (its late) and my quad core isn't in a data center, but I think you guys should find a way to make your build cloud pluggable (but still secure) so that users can add to the processing power
[08:42] <krisives> For example, this machine can build quite quickly, and I don' use it 75% of the time
[08:42] <krisives> P.S. - I <3 Launchpad
[08:59] <spm> krisives: if someone else owns/runs/controls the hardware there is a pretty serious trust issue exposed. ie how do we know we're running on the bare metal vs in a VM - for a simplistic description. there's a heap more related issues around what you suggest. Trying to secure that? just not cost effective for my 2c.
[09:24] <fta2> hi, anyone to rescore a build? https://edge.launchpad.net/~fta/+archive/sandbox/+build/1890157 it keeps being pushed back, it was ~10min 1h ago, it's ~20now. i need this for work.
[09:58]  * flacoste is away: Gone away for now
[11:09] <BlindFreakazoid> Hi, I have problems to login on launchpad :( The website says (Error ID: OOPS-1668B804).
[11:11] <BlindFreakazoid> The problem exists since my account has been reactivated after beeing suspended because of spamming.
[11:12] <BlindFreakazoid> (I have no clue why I had been reported for spamming but I cannot check without logging in. :( )
[11:46] <spiv> losa ping for BlindFreakazoid's problem: their account was reactivated after suspension due to spam, but apparently has no preferredemail set.
[11:46] <mthaddon> spiv: what's the account
[11:47] <spiv> mthaddon: it's not immediately obvious from https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=1668B804, but I think you can find an email address from that info?
[11:47] <spiv> Or rather, not immediately obvious to me :)
[11:48] <BlindFreakazoid> the account is konradgraefe
[11:49] <BlindFreakazoid> I can give you my email address via query if you need to know it, but...why isn't it there? O.o
[11:49] <mthaddon> BlindFreakazoid: it says "User report of email from Launchpad as spam"
[11:50] <mthaddon> spiv: I don't see a way to set the preferred email address
[11:51] <BlindFreakazoid> yes, I know...as I said before I cannot imagine what I did that could be considered as spam
[11:51] <mthaddon> BlindFreakazoid: no, as in you considered email from launchpad as spam, not the other way round
[11:52] <BlindFreakazoid> hm
[11:53] <BlindFreakazoid> sounds strange
[11:54] <mthaddon> BlindFreakazoid: in any case, I'm afraid I don't know how to help you just yet - will need some advice from the relevant LP devs
[11:55] <BlindFreakazoid> okay, np
[11:56] <BlindFreakazoid> that means for me to be patient and stay in the channel until one of the relevant LP devs steps in, right?
[12:00] <spiv> mthaddon: I think in the database its a change of the status value on an EmailAddress for that Person
[12:01] <spiv> mthaddon: specifically, 4 means preferred
[12:01] <mthaddon> spiv: we don't do direct changes to the DB
[12:01] <spiv> Ah ok, I'm clearly remembering the bad old days :)
[12:02] <mthaddon> heh
[12:02] <BlindFreakazoid> ^^
[12:04] <spiv> I wonder if an admin can set the preferred email at http://launchpad.net/~konradgraefe/+editemails ?  Otherwise I don't have any good ideas, so we'll probably need the help of a registry dev?
[12:05] <mthaddon> spiv: how did you get to that page?
[12:05] <spiv> mthaddon: I constructed the URL by hand, I didn't try visiting it as I don't expect to have permissions to use it
[12:06] <mthaddon> spiv: I see an email address ending in .de as the selected contact address, but I can try "setting as contact address" again
[12:06] <mthaddon> ah " Currently you don't have a contact address in Launchpad. "
[12:06] <spiv> mthaddon: (constructed via clicking the 'edit' icon next to my emails on my personal page, and then s/spiv/kongradgraefe/)
[12:06] <mthaddon> BlindFreakazoid: you want the .de address, or the .com address as your contact address?
[12:06] <BlindFreakazoid> .com
[12:07] <spiv> mthaddon: ah-hah, that sounds like the thing you need
[12:07] <wgrant> It's odd. Logging in again should have reset preferredemail, AFAIK.
[12:07] <mthaddon> BlindFreakazoid: ok, try logging in now pls
[12:07] <spiv> mthaddon: much nicer than playing with fire^WSQL :)
[12:07] <spiv> wgrant: yeah, there's clearly a bug somewhere if an account can get into that state.
[12:08] <mthaddon> indeed - would have been nice to be able to navigate to it, but constructing URLs is highly preferable to constructing SQL
[12:08] <BlindFreakazoid> it works
[12:08] <mthaddon> cool
[12:08] <BlindFreakazoid> thank you so much :)
[12:08] <wgrant> spiv: Well, it was previously the correct behaviour. But not since SSO.
[12:14] <BlindFreakazoid> Do you know how launchpad determines wether someone marked mails from launchpad as spam?
[12:28] <maxb> Hrm. People are requesting non-sensible VCS imports just to work around bzr-builder lack-of-features
[12:28] <maxb> i.e. importing both http://invertika.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/client/ and a subtree of that as separate branches.
[13:14] <maxb> Do we have a CHR person today?
[13:14] <maxb> Please could a registry admin or CHR designate lp:~vcs-imports/junit/trunk as development focus? Thanks.
[13:15]  * sinzui looks
[13:16] <sinzui> maxb, done
[13:16] <maxb> thanks :-)
[15:42]  * flacoste is back.
[17:39] <sjamaan> jelmer: https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-code/+question/118906 <- was the bug I mention here fixed?
[17:54] <jelmer> sjamaan, hi
[17:55] <sjamaan> hey
[17:55] <jelmer> sjamaan: that revision is already rolled out to lp
[17:55] <jelmer> sjamaan: so my guess is that it's a different bug
[17:55] <sjamaan> I was afraid of that
[17:55] <sjamaan> Shall I file a new bugreport?
[17:56] <sjamaan> Or is there some neat trick that can help me link this report to bzr-hg?
[17:57] <jelmer> You can click "also affects project"
[17:59] <sjamaan> I can't find that, jelmer
[17:59] <sjamaan> ah, it's not a bug
[17:59] <sjamaan> It's an "answer"
[17:59] <jelmer> ah
[17:59] <sjamaan> I'll file a new bug
[17:59] <jelmer> there should be a link to create a bug from a question
[17:59] <jelmer> which does pre-fill-in and links back to the question
[17:59] <sjamaan> brb
[18:06] <jelmer> sjamaan: it's a pretty big branch
[18:18] <sjamaan> jelmer: I consumes a lot of memory pretty early during the download
[18:20] <jelmer> sjamaan: Yeah, but it keeps the entire revision history in memory (the revisions/manifests, not the texts)
[18:20] <sjamaan> jelmer: I think is an import of an older project which used to be kept in svn, but I'm not sure
[18:21] <sjamaan> (we use this at work, I'm not involved in the project itself)
[18:21] <jelmer> sjamaan: the svn importer is much more efficient in terms of memory usage
[18:23] <sjamaan> Possibly, but hg is the repo where new development is taking place
[18:23] <sjamaan> I don't know exactly when they started using hg
[18:28] <jelmer> sjamaan: Not possibly, for sure :-)
[18:29] <sjamaan> :)
[18:29] <sjamaan> You're the one who knows
[18:29] <sjamaan> BTW, is there any ETA on when Launchpad will update its bzr-git?
[18:30] <sjamaan> Bug 588724 is another one I'm waiting for to be fixed in Launchpad :)
[18:30] <sjamaan> yeah, that one :P
[18:35] <sjamaan> jelmer: Do you think the hg repo is atypical in any way?  You said it was large, but is it insanely large?
[18:36] <sjamaan> (also note that I was trying to import two repos, both of which failed)
[18:41] <jelmer> sjamaan: It's not unreasonably large, but bzr-hg is far less mature than bzr-svn or bzr-git
[18:41] <jelmer> and the hg smart server protocol makes it very hard to scale conversions this way properly
[18:42] <sjamaan> Is there another way to get this thing imported?
[18:42] <sjamaan> A working import might convince my boss to start using bzr at work
[18:55] <sjamaan> jelmer: Do you need me to install that meliae?  I wouldn't mind doing so, but I'd assume it's reproducible on your end and you can get it easier
[18:55] <sjamaan> (see the annotation by John A Meinel)
[18:56] <jelmer> sjamaan: You might be able to make a manual import using fastimport/fastexport
[18:56] <sjamaan> Is there a way to upload that to launchpad and have it use that as a base to mirror new changes onto?
[18:56] <jelmer> sjamaan: it will probably be a while before bzr-hg/launchpad imports support this branch
[18:57] <jelmer> sjamaan: No, as branches created that way are incompatible with bzr-hg
[18:57] <sjamaan> Why doesn't launchpad use fastimport/fastexport?
[18:57] <jelmer> sjamaan: fastimport/fastexport doesn't generate deterministic revision ids
[18:57] <sjamaan> ic
[18:58] <sjamaan> Is it possible to use fastimport for mirroring, then?
[18:58] <jelmer> sjamaan: How do you mean?
[18:58] <sjamaan> I don't want a one-shot conversion, but a continuous mirroring process
[18:59] <jelmer> sjamaan: That's possible with fastimport, but only with deterministic revision ids specific to your local mirror
[18:59] <sjamaan> The upstream team will continue working on the hg branch
[18:59] <jelmer> In other words, if somebody else also does a fastimport mirror of that branch they will have different revision ids.
[19:00] <sjamaan> hm
[19:00] <sjamaan> It sounds less painful to just use hg, TBH
[19:00] <jelmer> sjamaan: At this point, that might be the best choice, indeed.
[19:01] <sjamaan> How about that bzr-git bug, jelmer?  That one was fixed, but when will it get in Launchpad?
[19:02] <jelmer> sjamaan: I know it's on thumpers todo list, so I would think with the next lp release but please ask him to be sure.
[19:03] <sjamaan> ok. thanks for all your help
[19:04] <sjamaan> thumper: Could you tell me when the fix for Bug 588724 will be available in Launchpad?
[19:14] <jelmer> sjamaan: fwiw thumper is in NZ so he probably won't be around until 11 or midnight our time
[22:45]  * flacoste is away: Gone away for now
