rozzinHas Launchpad always required creation of an account before reporting bugs?06:00
hyperairyes.06:02
rozzinHm.06:03
rozzinI could have sworn that I'd reported an Ubuntu bug without explicitly creating an account beforehand, back in 2008.06:04
rozzinThough, it wouldn't be the first time I'd just forgotten something.06:04
hyperairi created my launchpad account in 2006 when i first reported a bug iirc06:04
hyperairor maybe it was 200706:05
hyperair2007 it was.06:05
rozzinI do have some trouble convincing myself that I would have chosen the username I ended up with :)06:05
hyperairheh06:06
wgrantrozzin: Default usernames are generated from the email address you registered with.06:07
wgrantYou can change your username later.06:07
rozzinOh, but I guess you don't actually choose those, do you.06:07
rozzinI see.06:07
rozzinwell, I guess it all fits together into a convincing story, then :)06:08
rozzinThanks.06:09
d1bhi ah how much memory does one need 2 actually do a bzr branch of the stable launchpad repo?06:57

lifelessd1b: I'm not sure of the peak rss, but I'd say you want 500MB or maybe alittle more (especially if you are on 64bit)07:08
d1blifeless: seems like a lot07:08
lifelessjam is working on reducing it07:09
d1bi couldn't find a git mirror :/07:09
lifelessbut the repo has copies of debs and all sorts of stuff in its history07:09
lifelessand I dunno, 250K commits or something ?07:10
d1bok doing a --lightweight this is silly07:10
d1bthere isn't some tar ball / http download ...07:12
maxbd1b: I think a --lightweight may be sillier in the long run if yoou want to work with the project at all09:03
maxbd1b: Also, are you using the http or bzr+ssh protocol?09:03
d1bmaxb: i just did a branch --lightweight09:09
d1bi don't care about re-syncing atm09:10
d1bjust wanted to have a look through and a grep09:10
yofelhi, quite a few recipe builds are failing here with11:34
yofeldpkg-deb: error: control directory has bad permissions 700 (must be >=0755 and <=0775)11:34
yofelhttps://launchpad.net/~neon/+archive/ppa/+buildjob/2438371 for example11:35
yofelthe debian folder is created by the nest command in the recipe, so that shouldn't be our fault, and it doesn't happen in all builds11:35
maxblamont / wgrant : Is that that umask thing you referred to previously?11:35
yofelanother error I'm getting is from https://launchpad.net/~neon/+archive/ppa/+buildjob/243767711:44
yofelbzr: ERROR: No previous changelog to take the package name from, and --package not specified: debian/changelog didn't contain any parseable stanzas.11:44
yofelthe changelog seems completely fine to me though, and VIM doesn't show any syntax error either http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~neon/project-neon/kiten-ubuntu/view/head:/changelog11:44
yofeland kiten failed to build every time so far with the same error11:44
wgrantmaxb: Yes, thanks for the poke.11:48
wgrantyofel: Do you have links to other builds failing with permission errors?11:49
yofelprobably, let me check the mails I got11:50
wgrantAs for the changelog thing, I don't think the changelog is formatted properly.11:50
wgrantLet me find11:51
wgrantit.11:51
wgranthttp://bazaar.launchpad.net/~neon/project-neon/kiten-ubuntu/view/head:/changelog has only one space between the email address and date.11:51
wgrantThat could possibly be it.11:51
yofelaaah, someone should fix vims syntax highlighting I guess...11:52
yofelthanks11:52
yofelfound one https://launchpad.net/~neon/+archive/ppa/+buildjob/243717911:52
wgrantMaybe it's just that one builder.11:53
yofelhttps://launchpad.net/~neon/+archive/ppa/+buildjob/243761911:53
yofelseems so11:53
wgrantI've set it to manual.11:53
wgrantlamont: I think thallium's lp-buildd needs upgrading.11:53
yofelthallium again https://launchpad.net/~neon/+archive/ppa/+buildjob/243763311:53
yofeland 5 more failures, all on thallium11:54
wgrantIf you see any non-thalliums, poke me and I'll kill them too.11:54

maxbGah13:28
* maxb discovers yet another separate page on the lp wikis about reviewing code imports13:29
rozzinHm.15:40
rozzinIsn't there some concern that requiring a launchpad account for bug-reporting actaully prevents some people from filing bugs?15:41
* exarkun isn't concerned about that15:53
exarkunif you're concerned about it, then I guess there is some concern15:53
rozzinWell, yes--I'm concerned :)15:56
ScottKPersonally, I'd rather make it harder.  We get more than enough useless bugs that don't help improve things.  They are a distraction from getting done what needs doing.15:57
exarkunI guess that's settled, then.15:57
rozzinScottK: I don't have that problem, so far.16:02
ScottKUbuntu certainly does as a whole.16:03
rozzinScottK: If you do, congratulations may be in order :)16:03
ScottKUbuntu is a very big project.16:03
rozzinScottK: Yeah, I can see that for Ubuntu.16:03
ScottKI do maintain some small projects on LP and I seem to get bug reports OK.16:04
exarkunIndeed16:04
exarkunI don't have any projects on Launchpad which gets fewer bug reports than I am actually able to deal with16:05
rozzinA coworker of mine raised the issue to me in regards to SourceForge, after they had their compromise and reset all of the passwords;16:05
rozzinHe said, "Well, I guess I'm done filing bug-reports for projects on SourceForge."16:06
exarkunYou can't make everyone happy.16:08
doctormoI'm having trouble uploading to my ppa, it tells me that my changes file isn't signed. Even though using debuild -S I've never had a problem before.16:08
ScottKdoctormo: Check and see if the package actually got uploaded or not.  IIRC someone else had that last night and it turned out the warning was in error and the package was accepted.16:10
doctormoIt's a fresh ppa: https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/greeter16:11
doctormoI tried maybe an hour ago, so nothing so far.16:11
rozzinThen there's my user who decided that he'd rather just `file bugs' on IRC :\16:11
doctormoScottK: Ah turns out I mistyped and did "ppa:~doctormo/greeter" with the extra ~, works now.16:13
doctormoAlthough the error was erroneous.16:13
JanCrozzin: I know projects that have a bug-reporting IRC bot...  ;)16:17
JanCIIRC that was a supybot plugin that inserted bugs into a trac bug tracker16:19
JanC(but it also required an authenticated user I suppose)16:20
doctormoJanC: You need my issue tracker, it's a mediated design between issues and bugs.16:22
rozzinIf I wanted to `raise the bar and keep the stupids out' of my project, I'd be using git.17:16
rozzinYow--yeah, this is basically the exact opposite of what I want: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.bug-tracking.ditz.general/1617:21
d1brozzin: wait what?17:24
rozzind1b: "One of the big advantages of ditz is that it raises the bar for feature requests by requiring you to check out a repository and commit code."17:29
d1brozzin: ok....17:30
rozzin"If you're not a developer comfortable with the VC system, I'm not interested in anything you have to say" is basically the opposite of what I want.17:31
d1boh ok17:32
rozzinI'm going to tell myself that he's joking, so as to keep that from ruining my day.17:32
rozzinI'm not sure that he is, though.17:32
d1bwhy not let people email in patches17:33
rozziner, "... is basically the opposite of what I want to tell my users."17:33
d1bif they dislike ur vc ssytem17:33
=== doko_ is now known as doko
rozzinIt's not a question of whether they dislike the VC system,17:34
d1bs/dislike/failsatvcs/17:36
rozzinbecause that's a second-tier barrier where an end user should never even have to deal with the first-tier one ;)17:36
rozzinPlenty of useful input comes with people who don't even have "preparing a patch" (or "writing code"!) as part of their skillset;17:37
rozzine.g., because they spent their time working on a different skillset--like English grammer, or translation, or UI design, or whatever.17:38
rozzinEr, "English *grammar*"--see what I mean? :)17:39
d1bha!17:39
d1b./sleep &17:39
rozzinThere was an interesting presentation I came across, actually,17:41
rozzinwhere the first 2 slides were something like:17:41
rozzin"Bazaar is version-control system for rocket scientists"17:42
rozzin"because rocket scientists have better things to think about than version control."17:42
rozzinJanC: Do people use bug-bots w/ Launchpad?17:46
rozzinJanC: It sounds like something that'd basically be circumventing site policy....17:48
JanCrozzin: I have seen no bots that can report bugs on LP17:59

lifelesswhats up21:39
syn-ackI'm getting all sorts of Time out errors21:39
syn-ackeither trying to bring the homepage up or while searching for a project21:39
syn-ackheres the Error ID: OOPS-1926O105421:40
ubot5https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=1926O105421:40
lifelesshomepage came up instantly for me21:43
lifelesswhats the search url you had trouble on?21:43
syn-ackhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ and searching for Ubuntu in general21:43
lifelesswhats the *exact* url you had trouble on21:44
syn-ackI just told you the exact URL I had trouble on21:44
syn-ackseriously.21:44
syn-ackAnd now this one21:45
syn-ackhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/+bugs?field.searchtext=Ubuntu&search=Search+Bug+Reports&field.scope=all&field.scope.target=21:45
lifelessthats better, let me have a look see21:45
lifelessI'm syncing the error reports to see whats up with the one you quoted21:45
syn-acklifeless, I wasn't trying to be difficult here. Sorry if it came off like that21:45
lifelessthat takes about 10 minutes21:45
lifelessno worries21:46
lifelessso, the main sql query is timing out21:46
lifelessits a 7 secound count, sadly21:48
lifelesswe'll get a detailed report later21:48
lifelessfor now, you're probably best of clicking 'one project' putting 'ubuntu' in there, and then clicking search21:49
syn-ackk21:49
lifelessthat isn't quite the same thing21:49
lifelesswhat I describe is 'all ubuntu bugs'21:49
lifelesswhat you searched for was 'all bugs with the word ubuntu in them'21:49
syn-ackah21:50
syn-ackJust got a time out there too21:51
syn-ackhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=&search=Search+Bug+Reports&field.scope=project&field.scope.target=ubuntu21:51
syn-ackError ID: OOPS-1926U111721:51
ubot5https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=1926U111721:51
lifelesswe may have bloated indices again21:52
lifelesswill get our dba to look at this when hes around later today21:52
syn-ackGood deal21:53
lifelesshttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs21:53
lifelessworks for me21:53
syn-ackdo you guys cluster your DBs and this particular one that I'm hitting is fouled or what?:21:53
lifelesswe have 3 db servers running LP21:54
syn-ackah, yeah21:54
lifelessbut the bug query logic is only partly optimised21:54
lifelesswe're working on it21:54
lifelessits down from 17-18 seconds per page21:54
syn-ackah21:54
lifeless6 months ago21:54
lifelessstill got a ways to go21:54
lifelessits pretty complex21:55
lifelessand ubuntu has 100000 open bugs21:55
lifelesswhich makes many indices a bit useless21:55
syn-ackyeah21:57
lifelesswe also do this thing where we count all results21:58
lifelessrather than saying 'lots'21:58
lifelessso the actual search you have can return a single page pretty quickly21:58
lifelessbut we calculate every possible row so show the count in the UI21:58
syn-ackRight21:58
syn-ackSo I can understand the timeout then21:59
lifelessthats also something we're going to change :)21:59
luks_hi -- https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/SourceBuilds/Recipes mentions that I can use "nest-part" in recipes, but when trying to do so I get this error "Error parsing recipe:3:1: Expecting 'merge', 'nest' or 'run', got 'nest-part'."22:10
luks_is there a way to use the "nest-part" command?22:10
lifelesssounds like we have an old bzr-builder library22:13
lifelessfile a bug ?22:13
luks_ok, I wasn't sure if I'm just not missing something, thanks22:20
