psusiany idea when staging is going to be back up?02:00
wgrantpsusi: Probably not for another day or two. You can't use qastaging?02:01
psusidoh... use what?02:01
psusiqastaging eh?  what's the difference?  not heard of that one before02:01
wgrantqastaging is pretty similar to staging, except the DB gets restored less frequently.02:02
psusihrm... ok02:02
psusiI guess I can change my python script to use that instead too then...02:03
psusihrm... what name do you use instead of staging when calling Launchpad.login_with() for live?02:03
wgrantOld launchpadlibs don't know about qastaging, so you'll have to use 'https://api.qastaging.launchpad.net/' instead of 'qastaging'.02:03
psusihrm... ok02:04
psusiwgrant, so what string do you use for live?02:07
wgrantpsusi: 'production'02:07

lifelessthere is now no launchpad login service - its the ubuntu SSO04:29

pooliei thought only privileged users could move things out of being Opinion04:35
pooliewasn't that the whole point?04:35
lifelessopinion was done as an experiment04:44
lifelessflacoste has mentioned removing it again, pending ok from above04:44
pooliesure04:49
pooliebut, i thought part of the experiment was that it would lock the status04:49
pooliei guess i misunderstood04:49
* wgrant also thought that was the case.04:50
poolieprobably just a 'locked' button would be better04:51
lifelessI suspect it fell by the wayside04:51
lifelessthe psychological part was the argument that folk would understand 'difference of opinion' but in fact users then wanted the bug to show up in bug searches for open bugs etc04:52
pooliemm04:53
lifelessthere is a bug (closed as Opinion) that says 'bugs closed as opinion do not show up in bug searches'04:54
pooliehaha04:54
pooliei don't really care about it either way, i was just surprised04:54
poolieistm fewer statuses is better; also this will probably not act as a lightning rod in the way that was hoped04:55
lifelesscontentious issues are contentious04:55
lifelessreminds me, I should make a new bug/LEP with my analysis of status/user confusion etc04:55
ScottKPlease make opinion go away.04:56
ScottKThat's my opinion, anyway.04:56
StevenKWhat do you prefer?05:01
StevenKOh, that's right, Bugzilla05:01
* StevenK hides05:01
StevenKScottK: Sadly, we can't please everyone.05:02
wgrantScottK: I think most of us want Opinion to go away...05:03
ScottKStevenK: I'm willing to conceed that LP bug tracking is better than Bugzilla in most respects.05:04
ScottKIt's got sourceforge beat in all respects.05:06

brendandhello14:43
brendandi posted a comment to a question but accidently hit 'answer'14:43
brendandhow do i revert it14:43
verwilsthello14:43
brendandthe question is not answered14:44
brendandi just mean to ask for more info14:44
verwilsttrying to upload a package with a fixed source tarball, but keep getting "File php-sphinx_1.1.0.orig.tar.gz already exists in PPA for Bart Verwilst, but uploaded version has different contents."..  i tried removing my package from the ppa and then doing a new upload, but still have the same issue.. any hints? :)14:44
jcsackettverwilst: one second, i'm looking up an answer for you.14:48
maxbverwilst: If you change the content of a file in a PPA, you *must* use a new version number. No exceptions, ever.14:49
verwilstjcsackett, thanks :)14:49
verwilsthm :(14:49
verwilsti made it work before though :P14:49
jcsackettbrendand: which question is it? i believe i can change the question status for you.14:49
maxbIf there are exceptions, they are bugs.14:49
verwilstbut i have no version of the package in my ppa anymore14:50
verwilstso it's actually a 'new' package again14:50
verwilstmy initial upload never worked anyways14:50
verwilstwhich is why i had to change my source tarball14:50
maxbThis does not matter. Launchpad still knows14:50

verwilst"Yes you can, but you *must* increase the package's version. "14:51
verwilstpackage as in orig.tar.gz or packages as in pkg-1.0-0ppa5?14:51
maxbYou must increase the version, of whichever component you are changing14:52
bigjoolsverwilst: no file with the same version can be re-uploaded with a different md5sum to before14:52
verwilstso i have to rename the source tarball..14:52
verwilstwill that still work?14:52
bigjoolsso if you change the orig tarball, bump its version14:52
verwilstdoesnt it expect a certain name?14:52
bigjoolsyou can call it what you like14:53
verwilstphp-sphinx_1.1.0-1.orig.tar.gz then?14:53
bigjoolsthat sort of thing14:55
jcsackettbrendand: i cannot, actually. if you would like the comments &c removed, please open a question on answers.launchpad.net/answers with the relevant details, and i can get it assigned to the appropriate people.14:55
jcsacketter, answers.launchpad.net/launchpad14:55
verwilst"This package has a Debian revision number but there does not seem to be an appropriate original tar file or .orig directory in the parent directory;"14:57

mounirjcsackett, James_w, thx - another question (last one :-) ) can I create a random group add random users to that gorup, then search on the group?17:59
jcsackettmounir: i am not sure i understand your question.17:59
mounirjcsackett, say I create a group called g1 then add to that group u1, u2, u3. can I search on the bugs owned by u1, u2,u3 doing search on the group?18:00
james_wyes, though I'm not sure that there is a search for "assigned to users in this team"18:01
james_wplus you will cause them to get mail, so you don't want to be doing too much of it18:01
mounirjames_w, how to I search on the group? and why they get emails?18:04
james_wmounir, emails are sent whenever you add someone to a team18:05
mounirjames_w, so that is one time occurrance no issue there18:05
james_whttps://bugs.launchpad.net/~linaro-toolchain-wg18:06
james_wassignment isn't transitive there though, so it probably doesn't do what you want anyway18:06
mounirJames_w, can you please elaborate, I did not get it18:07
james_wmounir, I assume you want to see any bug assigned to any member of the team?18:08
mounirjames_w, yes18:09
james_wmounir, well, if you click on the "List assigned bugs" link on the right of the page that I just linked to you will see that it returns only a single bug18:10
james_wthat bug is assigned to the team itself, the page doesn't list any bugs assigned to the team members18:11
mounirJames_w, that is not good, it defeat the purpose of what I want18:13
mounirJames_w, we should have an option to recurse over the members,18:14
