maxbNooooooooooooooooooooo! Now I'm getting launchpad-bugs-owner "Your message was rejected" spam when I change code imports!00:05
maxbPretty please, could someone kill that list :-)00:05
lifelessI think we should just remove it00:09
lifelessaccept that we send too much mail00:09
lifelessand fix that00:09
spmso for example on the multiple tasks front. right now I am: eating son's birthday cake from yesterday; reading 4 irc channels watching a beta update happen on this workstation and pondering if I should read email as well; and seeing what nagios alerts I need to deal with in what order. but notice. cake 1st.00:09
lifelesssomeone should get consensus on that on the list00:09

AfCIs it possible for ISPs to set up mirrors of PPAs?08:43
wgrantAfC: We don't expose rsync or anything like that.08:44
wgrantIt would be nice to have a mirror over here, though :(08:44
AfCI hadn't really noticed before, but today I'm sucking down something from a PPA that's 160 MB and that's going to add up.08:44

rdale_I have two email addresses associated with my launchpad account. i've recently subscribed to the ayatana-dev mailing list. i would like to be able to both post and receive mails from my codethink account. but it seems if i try and send from my codethink account, the mails bounce. if i send from the gmail account it works fine, but the mails go to the codethink one. does anyone know how to get launchpad to work with a specific10:35

ftawgrant, hey, did you have a chance to catch a losa today? ;)11:32
eugenesanHI, why deleted PPAs still appear in list? Can I "revive" or create PPA with same name?11:40
bigjoolseugenesan: no, as it says when you delete them, they are gone for good11:43
bigjoolsyou currently cannot re-use them because the code to totally wipe them has not been written yet11:44
eugenesanbigjools: And name got blacklisted?11:44
bigjoolssort of - it's still there, just hidden11:44
eugenesanbigjools: Very sad, when deleting, I was sure one day I'll able to reuse the name...11:46
bigjoolseugenesan: it's not that simple because if people are using the PPA, then you delete it, and then fill it with packages again, the apt client will get very confused.11:49
eugenesanbigjools: by apt client you mean apt-get and co?11:51
bigjoolsyes11:52
eugenesanbigjools: Can you please provide an example? I can't see how confusion may happen...11:55
bigjoolseugenesan: providing the same versions of files/packages with different contents will make apt silently fail11:55
bigjoolswhich is why Launchpad doesn't let you upload conflicting files like that11:56
bigjoolsPPA deletion was implemented so people could rename their accounts11:56
eugenesanbigjools: I see. But I would take that minor risk.12:00
bigjoolswell, don't kid yourself that the files are the same12:01
eugenesanbigjools: Also, what is the chance of PPA being removed for some time and it's lists still stored on client?12:01
bigjoolseugenesan: unless someone removed the packages, a very high chance ;)12:02
eugenesanbigjools: So problematic scenario is when installed package re-uploaded to "revived" PPA not being marked for upgrade correctly? That's all?12:06
bigjoolseugenesan: no, corrupted installations12:07
eugenesanbigjools: I see. Thanks for explanation.12:09

lfaraoneSo I just uploaded to lucid-proposed, and I wanted to push up my UDD bzr tree to the nonexistant lucid-proposed bit of Launchpad. Is it expected that I'd get an error like "bzr: ERROR: Server sent an unexpected error: ('error', '<Fault -1: "Unexpected Zope exception: TypeError: (\'Could not adapt\', <SuiteSourcePackage ubuntu/lucid-proposed/python-gasp>, <InterfaceClass lp.code.interfaces.branchtarget.IBranchTarget>)">')"14:38

=== zyga is now known as zyga-food
jcsackettlfaraone: the zope exception is not the sort of thing we generally want LP to throw back at users if something more informative can be thrown back. i think that's probably worth filing a bug.15:09

bjfi'm looking at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/730972  and trying to figure out from the LP api how to tell that the "Status tracked in Natty" for the "base" task 'linux (Ubuntu)'17:35

=== matsubara-lunch is now known as matsubara
bjfjcsacket, if there are multiple related tasks, how do you know which one the status is tracked in? bug #600453 for example17:52

jcsackettbjf: good point, let me do some digging.18:15
jcsackettbjf: that status, "Status tracked in..." is a result of a something in lp called a conjoined bug, which basically says that one bug is the master bug of another, so everything gets tracked in it.18:22
jcsackettconjoined statuses don't appear to be exposed on the lp api.18:22
bjfjcsackett, ok, be nice to have but knowing i can't get to it via the api is also good to know18:23

bjfjcsackett, if one wanted to email a "team", is there a "team" email address or would one get the "confirmed_email_addresses_collection" for a team and use those ?19:29
jcsackettbjf: probably best to get the teamowner, and use the preferredemailaddress.19:34
bjfjcsackett, would that just go to the team owner or all members of the team? i want to spam all members of the team.19:35
jcsackettbjf: why? it's fairly bad juju to spam an entire team.19:36
bjfhttps://launchpad.net/~canonical-kernel-sru-team19:36
bjfjcsackett, ^19:36
bjfjcsackett, we are working on a script that monitors certain bugs, if there are problems, we want to email the members of that team that something "bad" has happened19:37
bjfjcsackett, by using an LP team, kernel folks can add / remove themselves as they seem fit19:37
james_wbjf, would subscribing them to the bugs work? That generates an email, and is easy to do.19:37
bjfjcsackett, in reality, there should be very little email sent this way19:37
jcsackettbjf: see james_w's suggestion. it also might be easier to create a list and have your script email that.19:38
bjfjcsackett, i'm not sure how a mailing list is better/different19:39
jcsackettbjf: one email, don't need to poll for all emails, and people can be part of the team (and so see team bugs &c) without necessarily getting emails they don't want.19:39
bjfjcsackett, true19:40
bjfbut i'm not convinced19:42
jcsackettbjf: so, AIUI, there isn't an attribute on a team to get all emails for the team members. you would need to go through the member collection and find the preferredemail of each member.19:47
bjfjcsackett, thanks for the info19:47
jcsackettbjf: is there a reason that having the team (or teammembers) subscribe to the bugs you're interested in doesn't fill your needs? that tends to send all updates to the bugs via email.19:48
bjfjcsackett, it's not about the bugs, it's about the automated process that is looking at the bugs and deciding that it requires human intervention19:49

bjfjcsackett, each "series"/task can be assigned to individual teams/users and tracked for progress and status19:53

Raminduhello20:33
lifelessniemeyer: cool; its a fair way off, because we're still catching up on our tech debt (like performance)20:33
Raminduis there anyone here who could help me with some LP translation questions?20:33
lifelessniemeyer: but I talk about it anytome someone mentioned events or hooks to me ;)20:33
lifelessRamindu: just ask, I'm sure someone will know20:34
RaminduI'm trying to implement a methodology where symbolic strings, e.g. _t('SEARCH_NAME') will get replaced by the translated string based on locale20:35
Ramindubut the help for LP translations states that only English strings can be used20:35
Raminduis there no way to use symbolic strings and still have the LP translation system recognize them?20:35
lifelesssure20:36
lifelessI'm pretty sure though, that we won't ask english speakers to translate them on english.20:36
lifelesswhich would mean all your other users would reasonable translations (if they can figure out what your symbols mean), but english speaking (en_UK, en_US, en_AU, en_NZ) wouldn't.20:37
lifelesswhat you describe was one of the original intents of gettext, but its fallen out of practice20:37
Ramindulifeless: thanks20:38
Raminduso what would get displayed for translators would be the symbolic string, right?20:39
lifelessyes20:39
lifelessand no instructions on what its intent is !20:39
niemeyerlifeless: Sounds good :)20:43
niemeyerlifeless: It'd be nice to be able to know when different branches are pushed, so I'm not sure it's a perfect fit.  It'd depend on what a "feed" is20:44
lifelessindeed20:47
lifelessmy idea is to make every object in lp have a length-one rss/atom feed20:47
Ramindulifeless:thanks for the help20:47
lifelesswith, like the json representations, mechanical serialisation of the visible objects and sensible related links20:47
lifelessRamindu: sorry I couldn't be more helpful20:48
RaminduI'm wondering about asking LP to take the EN_US.pot file20:48
Raminduand create a mapping between the created *.po files20:48
Raminduanyway, thanks a lot for you time20:49
Ramindubye20:49
lifelessniemeyer: that length-one feed would let you create a subscription to any individual branch, and the existing collection-scoped feeds would let you detect new branches20:49
lifelessniemeyer: and if it would be useful to folk we could also create a historical feed for the branch (e.g. containing commits, or metadata changes, $whatever)20:50
niemeyerlifeless: Cool, sounds pretty nice20:51
lifelessfirst though, lp needs to get 100% faster :)20:51

lifelessthats awesome20:53
lifelessniemeyer: hmm, I like the level of glue it offers straight out of the box21:03
niemeyerlifeless: Yeah, it feels very comfortable/easy to deal with21:03
lifelessniemeyer: pretty awesome too, for public content21:03
lifelessniemeyer: OTOH, it requires their proprietary service21:03
niemeyerlifeless: Well, I'm not suggesting we should use it21:03
lifelessniemeyer: and that doesn't sit well with us21:03
niemeyerlifeless: Just the model21:03
lifeless(because we have private content)21:03
niemeyerlifeless: Feels very easy to have an in-house purpose-specific service with the same interface21:04
niemeyerlifeless: And not Launchpad specific!21:05
lifelessniemeyer: possibly... probably more development though (and pshb wouldn't be lp specific either)21:06
niemeyerlifeless: Sure.. it's a pretty different beast, though21:07
lifelessniemeyer: indeed, quite different use cases21:08
lifelessI could see using both in fact21:08
lifelessin some ways I like the anonymity of messages in the pubnub system21:08
lifelessmuch lighterweight than needing a url, which is heavierweight21:09
niemeyerIt's also more useful for building UIs on top of..  feels like a pretty good general tool to have at hand.21:09
lifelessniemeyer: how similar is it to the thing you built in ls ?21:10
lifeless(in terms of model, ease of use, flexability)21:10
niemeyerlifeless: It's a bit orthogonal.. there's a very tight relation between the web page being viewed and the server state21:12
niemeyerlifeless: Landscape's system is awesome for updating UIs21:12
niemeyerlifeless: In a secure/fast way21:12
niemeyerlifeless: Not so much as a generic pubsub21:12
Ampelbeinheya, for the buildjob http://pad.lv/bld/2433780 I can't access the corresponding logfile. The build was successful locally but apparently failed on LP and I wanted to know  why.21:38
maxbCould be that something went wrong with the builder, so no log was stored, perhaps? Probably best to wait for the amd64 build to happen, and if that succeeds, get the i386 one retried21:49
