[02:01] <bjsnider> i'm getting stuck uploading the last 1k of a source package
[02:25] <Exbte> Launchpad is publishing email addresses to Google
[02:26] <mwhudson> Exbte: where
[02:26] <Exbte> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/
[02:26] <mwhudson> that's not launchpad
[02:26] <Exbte> everything on launchpad is archived there
[02:27] <Exbte> along with email addresses
[02:27] <Exbte> I've never posted to a mailing list yet
[02:27] <Exbte> I've never posted to a mailing list*
[02:27] <mwhudson> er, the launchpad mailing lists aren't there
[02:28] <mwhudson> (the ones hosted on launchpad i mean, some of the lists there are launchpad-related)
[02:28] <Exbte> Well a Google search for my email returns launchpad entries I made, my email address+launchpad username
[02:30] <mwhudson> got a link?  you can privmsg it to me if you don't want to paste it publically?
[09:21] <mok0> I am considering creating an LP project, that tracks the developers svn distribution on Google code. Merely as a convenient way to work with it, so I can use a bzr branch to work on the packaging. Does someone have an example of a project that functions in a similar way?
[09:22] <mok0> (I know there are lots, just need a specific example)
[09:23] <bigjools> I know that mythtv does that but they just switched to git
[09:26] <mok0> bigjools: thanks I'll check it out
[09:27] <mok0> (I also prefer git as a DVCS, but LP is really a useful tool for a project. Now if LP used git... *pinch arm* :))
[09:29] <maxb> half of my related projects are ones I've registered just to have a vcs-import :-)
[09:29] <mok0> maxb, examples?
[09:30] <mok0> maxb: I'd like to spy on what you've done :-)
[09:30] <mok0> Mostly I need inspiration on how to write a proper project description
[09:30] <maxb> I leave them blank or copy text from the project's upstream homepage
[09:33] <mok0> maxb, thanks for your input
[09:53] <mok0> how long does it take for LP to import the project?
[10:05] <bigjools> I've seen git, and it made me itch
[10:05] <mok0> bigjools: in a good or a bad way?
[10:05] <bigjools> in an STD kind of way
[10:05] <mok0> heh
[10:05]  * Tak agree
[10:06] <bigjools> I don't know how long project import takes, mrevell?
[10:07] <mok0> It just says  "This branch has not been imported yet" and I am unsure if I need to do more, or just wait
[10:07] <mrevell> Importing a git branch? I think we run the imports once an hour or so
[10:07] <mrevell> mok0, Do you have a link to the branch overview page?
[10:07] <mok0> mrevell: it's an svn module from google code
[10:07] <mok0> mrevell https://code.launchpad.net/coot
[10:08] <mrevell> mok0, Leave it an hour or two and it the import should begin, I believe.
[10:08] <mok0> mrevell: great thanks!
[10:09] <mrevell> mok0, Ping if you have no luck.
[10:09] <mok0> mrevell: will do
[10:12] <mok0> It's not obvious to me how to register the Google code bug tracker
[10:14] <mok0> Ah
[10:16] <soren> mok0, mrevell: Git imports start almost immediately. The one for https://code.launchpad.net/coot already ran once (32 minutes ago according to https://code.launchpad.net/~mok0/coot/trunk).
[10:16] <soren> ...and failed.
[10:17] <soren> mok0: It looks a bit odd that it's a git import, but the URL has "svn" in it.
[10:17] <soren> mok0: Is that accurate?
[10:17] <mok0> soren: yes
[10:17] <mok0> I don't get it
[10:17] <mrevell> Thanks soren
[10:17] <mrevell> jelmer, are you able to help?
[10:17] <soren> mok0: What makes you think it's git? http://code.google.com/p/coot/source/checkout only mentions svn.
[10:18] <mok0> soren, I didn't configure anything, just gave it the URI
[10:18] <soren> mok0: One of the things you choose on the vcs import page is the revision control system.
[10:18] <mok0> I believe I did tell it somewhere that it is an svn module
[10:18] <soren> mok0: You can't skip it :)
[10:18] <mok0> soren: indeed
[10:19] <soren> mok0: This is likely your problem. You accidentally chose git.
[10:19] <mok0> Hm /me is puzzled
[10:19] <soren> mok0: I'd just remove that import again and create a new one, making sure to choose svn.
[10:19] <glen> does launchpad ticket system have irc bot? one that could spam my irc #channel about new tickets?
[10:19] <soren> Mind you, svn imports need to be reviewed before they start, so it may take a while.
[10:19] <soren> glen: no
[10:20] <glen> soren: but any script i could use?
[10:20] <soren> glen: Ubottu (the Ubuntu IRC bot) does it quite well. The code is here: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bots/ubuntu-bots/devel
[10:24] <mok0> Is there a way to put bold text in the description? HTML tags are just quoted
[10:33] <mok0> soren, svn imports reviewed, by a human?
[10:34] <soren> mok0: Yes.
[10:34] <mok0> soren, is there a technical reason for that, or what gives?
[10:34] <mok0> (just curious)
[10:34] <soren> mok0: 15:01 < jelmer> tumbleweed, soren: with svn some users register the root of the repository rather than a separate directory/branch which can result in huge load and disk usage on the importers and heavy network load on the repository
[10:35] <mok0> ah, of course
[10:35] <mok0> soren, it is not obvious that you need to give the URL of the module. In the subversion way, you'd pass the base URL + a module name
[10:36] <mok0> (AFAIR)
[10:36] <wgrant> That's CVS.
[10:36] <wgrant> SVN is a single URL.
[10:36] <mok0> wgrant: you are probably right. It's been a while since I last used svn
[10:37]  * mok0 shakes head in the hope the loose pieces fall into place...
[10:37] <jelmer> we have some code in bzr-svn that should be able to tell with reasonable certainty that the specified path refers to a branch and not to e.g. a repository root
[10:37] <jelmer> that code still needs to be hooked up with the new imports page
[10:37] <jelmer> s/with/to/
[10:38] <mok0> jelmer: that would be a nice improvement
[11:00] <mok0> jelmer, thanks for approving, looks like it's importing now
[12:33] <geser> is it possible to derive from bug importance a rough estimate when it might get fixed? so I can judge better if I should wait for the fix (e.g. if it will get fixed within a few weeks) or work-around it somehow (if it takes longer)
[12:53] <deryck> geser: it's hard to judge from importance when a bug will be fixed.
[12:53] <deryck> geser: do you mean across all projects on Launchpad, or just for launchpad's own bugs?
[12:54] <geser> deryck: for Launchpad's own bugs, more precisely: bug 690356
[12:55] <deryck> geser: so bigjools could probably speak to that bug particularly, but generally, given how many bugs are open against Launchpad, low bugs can go a long time before being fixed.  unless a dev is working in that area of the code.
[12:55] <bigjools> geser: unless it's obviously a large impact bug it gets a low priority
[12:56] <bigjools> geser: you could talk nicely to wgrant or StevenK and they might fix it for you this week :)
[12:56] <geser> thanks, will try it
[12:57] <bigjools> or you could fix it!
[12:57] <wgrant> I will probably get to it this week or next if you don't.
[12:57] <wgrant> But I would strongly encourage you to try.
[12:58] <geser> I planned to start looking at LP code but didn't find time for it in the last months. This would be a good opportunity.
[12:59] <wgrant> It's a rather nice trivial bug to start with.
[13:00] <geser> I guess I need a lucid VM to run the launchpad code in it to be able to test a fix, right?
[13:00] <wgrant> It runs fine on Maverick too. I haven't tested Natty.
[13:00] <wgrant> But most of the developers run it on Maverick.
[13:01] <geser> ok, then a maverick VM
[13:01] <geser> is it suggest to use a VM or do most devs run it on the "normal" system?
[13:02] <wgrant> A VM is easy and clean.
[13:02] <wgrant> I normally run it on my real system, though.
[13:03] <wgrant> Hard to say.
[13:03] <wgrant> Either way works.
[13:04] <geser> I give it a try on my natty system and switch to a maverick VM if that fails
[13:05] <wgrant> Sounds like a plan.
[13:08] <wgrant> 'night all.
[15:40] <CarlFK> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/natty/software-properties/natty/annotate/head%3A/debian/changelog
[15:40] <CarlFK> why is "for" hilighted?
[15:41] <tsimpson> probably using python highlighting for some reason
[15:41] <CarlFK> and "use", "80", "and", " gtkbuilder" and a few other
[15:41] <CarlFK> tsimpson: that was my guess.
[15:41] <benji> CarlFK: looks like syntax highlighting gone awry
[15:42] <CarlFK> weird: <span class="pyg-sr">/software-properties/g</span><span class="pyg-n">tkbuilder</span>
[15:43] <CarlFK> I wonder why it chopped the g from gtkbuilder
[15:43] <CarlFK> it is having a nervous breakdown
[15:44] <benji> some crazy hungarian notation flashbacks?
[15:44] <tsimpson> maybe because /.../g is regex
[15:44] <tsimpson> g, i, and x would do the same iirc
[15:45] <CarlFK> hungarian... wow, I remember that.   and I remember thinking I would not be able to live without it.
[15:47] <CarlFK> I know some python, and I don't think
[15:47] <CarlFK> yeah, I don't think any  more.. lets try that again..
[15:48] <CarlFK> I know some python, and I don't think "last" or "new"  are keywords
[15:48] <tsimpson> maybe it's perl
[20:22] <bjsnider> i'm being stopped from uploading any orig tarball to any ppa. it always freezes at the last 1k
[20:23] <bjsnider> i've tried upload.ubuntu.com as well
[20:27] <radii> hi, I can't create a new account on launchpad.net for my primary email address because apparently my email somehow got associated with a throwaway account i created years ago.
[20:28] <radii> so when I try to "create a new account", LP sends the throwaway account an email saying "Launchpad Login Service: Warning  We've received a request to create a new account with your email address."
[20:29] <radii> if I log into the throwaway account, I can't find the relevant email address mentioned anywhere in the UI.
[20:46] <mwhudson> why does https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+package/u-boot-linaro-omap3-beagle have three links to the same published version?
[21:48] <CarlFK> radii: there has to be an option to change email.. I am looking for it
[21:48] <CarlFK> im just a user, so don't take my word for anything
[21:49] <radii> CarlFK: thanks :)
[21:49] <CarlFK> https://login.launchpad.net "Manage email addresses" -> https://login.launchpad.net/+emails
[21:50] <CarlFK> "Enter your email address, and we will send you instructions on how to verify it."  oh oh.
[21:50] <CarlFK> oh, maybe it will send to the new addres
[21:50] <CarlFK> either way, that's all I got
[21:51] <radii> CarlFK: awesome, yes the offending email was listed there
[21:51] <CarlFK> woot!  i'm helping!
[21:51] <radii> I logged in to the old account and removed the "unverified" address
[21:51] <radii> now opefully I can create a new account using the correct address
[21:51] <radii> sweet
[21:51] <radii> but first I ahve to go to 3 meetings for $REALJOB :(
[21:52] <radii> thanks CarlFK
[21:53] <CarlFK> good luck with the j o b.
[22:56] <AJenbo> Hi i haven't been able to use BZR to get any projects for months now
[22:56] <AJenbo> last time i was told to wait a bit till some bug was fixed, i that can't be the issue here
[22:56] <AJenbo> Permission denied (publickey).
[22:57] <AJenbo> bzr: ERROR: Connection closed: Unexpected end of message.
[22:57] <AJenbo> bzr branch lp:~dpm/ubuntu-translations/ul10n-stats
[22:59] <mwhudson> that suggests your local ssh key setup isn't right
[23:01] <AJenbo> mwhudson, that my ssh key isn't uploaded to my lp account?
[23:01] <mwhudson> that's one possible reason, yeah
[23:05] <AJenbo> ok seams to work now, thanks
