| askhl_ | Hi. The Danish translation of the Ubuntu manual has dropped from 56% or 54% to slightly below 50% at some point these last days. The manual people have made no changes to the template. What might be happening? | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| askhl_ | I have a previously exported po-file from Launchpad on my hard drive. This file contains strings that now only have suggestions. | 00:03 |

| intgr | Hi, I just created a branch on lp and I'm trying to push a single commit to it, but it's ticking over 9MB already and taking forever | 01:11 |
| intgr | Am I doing something wrong? | 01:11 |
| beuno | intgr, that is odd | 01:13 |
| intgr | Phew, after pushing >10MB it finished | 01:13 |
| beuno | and this single commit, it doesn't contain any binary files? | 01:13 |
| intgr | Nope, just a single line changed in a short file | 01:13 |
| wgrant | intgr: Which project was this, and how did you create the branch? | 01:13 |
| intgr | https://code.launchpad.net/~intgr/listen/tweaks | 01:13 |
| wgrant | Which version of bzr are you using? | 01:14 |
| intgr | I went to their project home, chose "Submit code" and entered branch name | 01:14 |
| intgr | 'bzr push lp:~intgr/listen/tweaks' failed with: | 01:14 |
| intgr | bzr: ERROR: Target directory lp:~intgr/listen/tweaks already exists, but does not have a .bzr directory. Supply --use-existing-dir to push there anyway. | 01:14 |
| intgr | So I added --use-existing-dir | 01:14 |
| intgr | Sorry, that's where I should have started | 01:15 |
| wgrant | Ah. So, you should probably have just run 'bzr push lp:~intgr/listen/tweaks', without creating it through the web UI first. | 01:15 |
| wgrant | That way it would have shared revision data with lp:listen, and you would have only been uploading your changes. | 01:15 |
| intgr | Oh... | 01:15 |
| wgrant | You don't actually need to go through the web UI at all; just push, and the branch will be created. | 01:16 |
| intgr | That's kinda non-obvious at first | 01:16 |
| intgr | GitHub and Bitbucket work the other way around. | 01:16 |
| wgrant | That's because Git is somewhat crippled: it doesn't really have the ability to share revision data between repositories. | 01:18 |
| wgrant | So you have to copy it all server-side first. | 01:18 |
| wgrant | With Bazaar, your branch just has a reference to lp:listen. | 01:18 |
| intgr | Why can't the web UI do that when I'm branching? | 01:19 |
| wgrant | I think bzr will avoid stacking if the directory already exists, but I couldn't be sure. | 01:19 |
| intgr | Then lp needs an advance warning when creating branches :) | 01:20 |
| wgrant | Probably, yes. | 01:20 |
| intgr | Thanks | 01:22 |
| thumper | man I want to fix the +register-branch page | 02:06 |
| wgrant | Delete delete delete. | 02:07 |
| thumper | wgrant: not quite that easyu | 02:08 |
| wgrant | :( | 02:08 |
| wgrant | Stick imports and mirrors into a single field. Then delete. | 02:09 |
| thumper | that is part of it | 02:09 |
| thumper | but the register branch page should give instructions on how to push | 02:09 |
| lfaraone | do the launchpad PPA builders have internet access? | 02:46 |
| mwhudson | lfaraone: no | 02:48 |

| === sebi_` is now known as sebi` | ||
| poolie | where do people tend to talk about common patterns for using ppas? if anywhere? | 06:09 |
| poolie | like scripts they might use | 06:09 |
| nigelb | #ubuntu-motu might be a good place. | 06:11 |
| poolie | mm good idea | 06:11 |
| poolie | is there a list or forum? | 06:12 |
| nigelb | motu does have a list but I don't think ppa audience would be there | 06:13 |
| nigelb | ppa uploader audience rather | 06:13 |
| poolie | thumper: is there any concept in the recipe builder of building just one tag, or the latest tag, rather than the tip of a branch? | 06:30 |
| poolie | or maybe of building only when the tag changes? | 06:30 |
| thumper | poolie: I'm not sure, that'd be a bzr-builder question | 06:30 |
| wgrant | poolie: There is #ubuntu-packaging. But it's fairly dead. | 06:31 |
| thumper | one thing we are trying to do is to use the builder manifests | 06:31 |
| wgrant | As for lists, there's really only launchpad-users. | 06:31 |
| thumper | which contain the revids of the different branches used | 06:31 |
| thumper | and compare against the last manifest | 06:31 |
| thumper | so if the revids of the branches change, we build again | 06:31 |
| thumper | so if bzr-builder started to support tags (if it doesn't already) | 06:32 |
| thumper | then it shouldn't be too hard (I think) to hook it all up to work as expected | 06:32 |
| poolie | so it would perhaps need only a builder change and nothing else? | 06:34 |
| poolie | that would be nice | 06:34 |
| poolie | i'm going to post to udd | 06:34 |
| poolie | you two should join, if you haven't already | 06:34 |
| poolie | can i copy from the main archive (for maverick) directly into a ppa? | 08:58 |
| wgrant | Yes, but it's generally discouraged. Why? | 08:59 |
| noodles775 | wgrant: via the API its not discouraged is it? | 08:59 |
| poolie | i want to make maverick's up-to-date bzr-rebase available in our ppa for lucid | 08:59 |
| poolie | for example | 08:59 |
| wgrant | noodles775: Well, it's often not the right solution. | 08:59 |
| noodles775 | wgrant: ah, you mean policy-wise... | 08:59 |
| poolie | it should be pure python | 08:59 |
| wgrant | poolie: Does it need a rebuild? | 08:59 |
| wgrant | If not, you can do a copy with binaries through the API. | 08:59 |
| poolie | i don't think so? would it? | 08:59 |
| wgrant | You'd have to test. But it's probably fine. | 09:00 |
| poolie | i don't suppose there's a standard tool for that? | 09:00 |
| wgrant | dpkg -i :P | 09:00 |
| poolie | snort, i meant an api tool to copy it | 09:00 |
| wgrant | Oh. | 09:00 |
| wgrant | https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+copy-packages?field.name_filter=bzr-rebase&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=maverick | 09:02 |
| wgrant | Use that. | 09:02 |
| wgrant | Oh wow, that's still close to timing out. | 09:02 |
| wgrant | What is that view doing..!? | 09:02 |
| noodles775 | wgrant: *that* was what I thought was discouraged... hence the API ;) | 09:03 |
| wgrant | noodles775: Well, with the filter prefilled it tends to work. | 09:03 |
| poolie | you just made up the url by hand? | 09:03 |
| wgrant | poolie: Yes. | 09:03 |
| poolie | i'm not complaining | 09:03 |
| noodles775 | :) | 09:03 |
| wgrant | Make sure you copy with binaries, though. | 09:03 |
| poolie | oh, or what? | 09:04 |
| === fta_ is now known as fta | ||
| wgrant | Or you'll end up with identically-versioned binaries that are in fact different. | 09:04 |
| wgrant | And that is wrong. | 09:04 |
| poolie | right | 09:05 |
| poolie | ! | 09:06 |
| poolie | that says it copied the ppc, armel, sparc packages etc | 09:06 |
| poolie | i assume that's just "will try to copy"? | 09:06 |
| poolie | or it's misunderstanding the arch=any | 09:06 |
| wgrant | arch=all | 09:06 |
| wgrant | The same thing happens when copying within a PPA, which is a little confusing. | 09:06 |
| poolie | sorry, =all | 09:06 |
| wgrant | While normal PPAs build only for the Big (Three|Two), they publish on all. | 09:07 |
| wgrant | Which means arch-indep packages publish everywhere. | 09:07 |
| wgrant | And arch-dep binaries copied from the primary archive will also publish everywhere. | 09:07 |
| poolie | right | 09:14 |
| poolie | so, seriously, it seems like we ought to put tools to do this into hydrazine or something | 09:16 |
| wgrant | Probably. | 09:16 |
| poolie | not just this specific case but ppa copying in generally | 09:16 |
| poolie | it's very amenable to scripting | 09:16 |
| poolie | some oopses on that page | 09:19 |
| poolie | probably i should add that | 09:19 |
| poolie | maybe not tonight | 09:20 |
| poolie | that's timing out a bit fwiw | 09:26 |
| noodles775 | poolie: yeah, that url is not meant to be used with the main archive (which is why its not linked anywhere, and if you remove the /+copy-packages it'll even redirect to the distro page instead). | 09:30 |
| poolie | ok | 09:30 |
| poolie | well, thanks for the tip | 09:30 |
| poolie | that saved me some time | 09:30 |
| poolie | (assuming it worked) | 09:30 |
| === fta_ is now known as fta | ||
| poolie | and then i may add that to hydrazine in a cleaner way later | 09:30 |
| poolie | probably not next week though | 09:30 |
| noodles775 | Great (the api version works well. | 09:31 |
| poolie | are you on the udd list? | 09:31 |
| noodles775 | I am, but have not been keeping up with it. | 09:31 |
| poolie | np, there's not a lot of stuff | 09:31 |
| poolie | i'm just about to post some thoughts on the packaging exprerience | 09:32 |
| poolie | not to load more work on you | 09:32 |
| noodles775 | Great, I'll look out for it :) | 09:32 |

| ChogyDan | I'm trying to put a kernel into a ppa, and I don't want to upload the full source every upload. In Maverick, when I grab the source, it includes the minor version number, linux-2.6.35-17.23.tar.gz, where as in lucid, it was just linux-2.6.32.tar.gz. How do I get the debuild and dput commands to recognize the proper source file? I'm not sure what to name it | 18:57 |
