jderoseHello, I'm trying to setup source package recipe dailies for PiTiVi from upstream git repo....00:24
jderoseThere is a stale/broken vcs-import here: https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/pitivi/trunk-git00:24
jderoseI was wondering if someone in ~vcs-imports could delete it so I can setup a new (hopefully working) import?00:25
jderoserockstar: I see you're in ~vcs-imports, could you help me with ^^^00:27
jderoselifeless: could you remove this broken/stale vcs-import so i can setup a working one? https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/pitivi/trunk-git00:31
lifelessyou can make a new one anytime00:34
lifelesssee help.launchpad.net00:34
lifelessfor removing the old one, file a question on https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad-code/00:35
jderoselifeless: when i try to create a new import, launchpad gave me an error: This foreign branch URL is already specified for                     the imported branch ~vcs-imports/pitivi/trunk-git.00:40
lifelessah00:40
lifelessin which case setting up a new one at the same place wouldn't work any better.00:40
jderoselifeless: but after looking around a bit more, seems like the problem is git submodules: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/40281400:40
ubot5Launchpad bug 402814 in Launchpad Bazaar Integration "Importing revisions with submodules is not supported (affected: 10, heat: 74)" [Wishlist,Triaged]00:40
lifelessyes00:40
jderose:)00:40
jderoselifeless: would be really great if this bug were fixed. after rockstar helped me get recipes working for dmedia, i'm telling everyone how awesome recipes are, trying to help other projects set them up00:42
lifelessits important, but its not simple.00:43
* jderose guess as much00:43
* jderose guessed as much... not simple, or it would already work :)00:43
jderoselifeless: so is the issue bzr <=> git semantics that are hard to map into each other?00:44
lifelessbzr doesn't support submodules in an analagous way [yet]00:45
lifelessso mapping that is very hard00:45
jderosei see00:46
wildintellectI'm trying to figure out how to copy https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/gpsprune into a lucid ppa - the author of the software claims that it should be able to build on lucid04:31
wildintellectsince it's in the main distro and not a ppa, there doesn't seem to be a copy page?04:31
SpamapSwildintellect: download the source package, add a changelog entry that mentions something like 'no source change backport to lucid' and upload it to the ppa05:46
SpamapSwildintellect: actually you might not even need to add that changelog entry05:47
micahgwildintellect: or request a backport: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports (this is OT though)05:48
wildintellectSpamapS, I guess I was disappointed that the +copy-packages isn't available (this isn't the 1st time I've tried this), thanks for the tips06:29
wildintellectI'm confused, once I push a package up to a ppa is there anything I need to do to make sure it gets built for i386 and amd64 - in this case it's a java app so the binary might be the same?07:07
micahgwildintellect: arch independent packages only build on i38607:08
wildintellectah ok, thanks for confirming07:08
micahgwildintellect: but they should be available on all archs07:08
wildintellectguess I could add my own ppa on my amd64 to check07:09
wildintellectlucid/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404  Not Found <- guess that's not the whole story07:11
micahgwildintellect: which PPA?07:12
wildintellecthttps://launchpad.net/~wildintellect/+archive/wildintellect07:12
micahgwildintellect: not published yet07:13
wildintellectah ya, just saw that07:13
wildintellectany idea what the normal wait time on that is? an hour?07:14
micahgwildintellect: actually that package will cause upgrade troubel with maverick07:14
micahgwildintellect: care to hop into #ubuntu-packaging?07:14
wildintellectdid I name it wrong?07:14
wildintellectsure07:14

alf_Hi! How can I completely remove a PPA from the PPA list in my account? When I delete a PPA it remains there (although greyed-out).09:15
bigjoolsalf_: that's all you can do09:15
bigjoolsnobody else sees it though09:15
alf_bigjools: thanks, although I'd rather not see it either :)09:17
bigjoolswell history is retained so we need to keep a link around09:18
bigjoolsat some point we'll do something to blow history away too but that's much harder09:18
sorenWhen does the PPA publisher run these days?09:26
bigjoolsevery 5-10 minutes09:26
sorenOh, it's not a set interval?09:26
bigjoolsyes, but sometimes it takes longer and crosses the next interval09:26

Ddorda‎hey, how do i push code to trunk if it's a new project?09:47
bilalakhtarDdorda: first push the code to something like lp:~ddorda/PROJECTNAME/trunk and then later (in LP) set that as main branch09:49
bilalakhtarthen after that onwards you can use lp:PROHECTNAME09:49
Ddorda‎bilalakhtar: i see. thanks :)09:49
dpmhey henninge and jtv (if you're still around), fta tells me: "i've dropped two templates a few days ago, they are still in lp (while they are supposed to disappear): https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/translations/+lang/es"11:09
dpmAny ideas what could be happening?11:10
=== matsubara-afk is now known as matsubara
jtvdpm: there's no such thing as dropping a template either, and they stay in lp.  You can deactivate them, in which case someone with the right privileges will still see them (but in a different colour).11:10
dpmfta, can you give us more details? Can we just disable the templates in LP, or does this have something to do with that bug re: obsole templates causing problems in LP?11:14
ftadropped = removed from the branch imported by lp11:19
ftaand i'm also ignoring those templates/strings when i convert back the exported branch11:20
ftaso i'm just concerned about not exposing those to translators anymore so they don't waste their time translating stuff we don't need11:21
dpmfta, we can disable them from LP, as we've already discussed in the past. But IIRC that created problems? I can disable them right now and we can test11:22
dpmwhich ones are they? devtools-strings and inspector-strings?11:24
ftadpm, yep, i'd prefer not to (as the bug is still there). i've been told it's supposed to disappear after 3 days or something like that, hence my initial report11:24
ftadevtools-* and google-chrome-*11:24
ftadevtools because it's been merged into inspector-*, and google-chrome-* because upstream doesn't want our contribs *and* we have no use for it ourselves11:25
dpmfta, ok so I better not touch them then. Do you remember the bug no., btw? jtv, henninge, any comments on templates removed from source branches disappearing after a few days? I'm not familiar with this myself11:26
dpmI think fta has discussed this with danilo and henninge on this channel in the past11:26
jtvdpm: the only way they could really disappear is if you remove one from a branch and then add another.11:27
jtvThe branch import approver may interpret that as a rename.11:27
jtvBut we're in a bit of a crunch right now.11:27
jtvGot a deadline that we're struggling to meet, I'm EOD and facing an increasingly dangerous return journey, and Henning's already being distracted with other requests.11:28
dpmjtv, no worries, thanks for letting us know and your help!11:29
