thomiDoes anyone know why there is such a large disparity between the time for a source package to be built and a binary package to be built on launchpad right now?05:20
thomiI'm seeing 3 minutes vs 3 hours...05:21
wgrantthomi: Source package recipes only build on i386. It's possible that there is a large i386 queue at the moment.05:21
wgrantHmm, we're running perilously low on builders at the moment.05:22
thomiahh I see, so the source packages can be built on any machine, right?05:22
wgrantYes, but at the moment they only build on i386 (it simplifies things a lot, and it's normally not a problem)05:22
wgrantMost of the builders have been taken for natty testing. I'll try to shuffle the remaining ones around to even up the queues, but it's not going to be good until they return (probably in several hours)05:23
thomiahh ok, the official distro packages are built on these machines? That would explain why they're kind of busy right about now ;)05:24
wgrantUbuntu itself builds on a separate set of machines. But most of the PPA builders serve a second role: hardware testing.05:25

happyaronwgrant: not sure, the amd64 build was failed, and i386 build keep running with no hint to stop - while in the ubuntu archive it build successfully.08:16

progfouhi there! anyone to guide me about a git import problem in Launchpad?08:52
lifelesshi, just ask08:53
progfouImport failed with this message: The repository you are fetching from contains submodules. To continue, upgrade your Bazaar repository to a format that supports nested trees, such as 'development-subtree'.08:53
progfousee: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/69776884/b2uconverter-b2uconverter-trunk.log08:53
progfouI know I have multiple branches in this git repository, but on the VcsImports wiki page it is said it would only import the master branch, right?08:54
progfouthe HEAD branch in fact… see https://help.launchpad.net/VcsImports08:54
progfouis there something I can do on my side to go further?08:55
lifelessok, so thats submodules, not multiple branches issue08:55
lifelessor are you saying that HEAD does not use submodules?08:55
progfouwell… I don't know about submodules…08:55
progfouyou can see the git repository here: http://git.hanoilug.org/?p=b2uconverter.git;a=summary08:56
progfouwe have branches, tags, and nothing more as far as I can tell08:56
lifelesshttp://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-submodule.html08:58
lifelesshas info about submodules08:58
lifelesswe can't import them (yet).08:58
progfouthanks, I was just googling it… ;-)08:59
progfouok, I'm checking my git repository if there is some submodmules put in place by default (by gitosis or else), since I never used that before… I'll be back in a few minutes09:02
progfouno result for "git submodule status" or "git submodule summary", as well as a "grep -r module ." just after a "git clone"… lifeless, do you have some other test suggestion?09:06
progfouI'll try a bare clone… and check in the gitosis bare repository too…09:07
lifelessI'm not surel; it sounds like either the detection code is broken or something else is up09:08
lifelessjelmer_: ^ any thoughts09:08
progfounothing (no "module" config) in a "git clone --mirror" (imply --bare) either09:10

progfouBTW, just saw that on identi.ca: launchpadstatus: Codehosting upgrade completed; thanks for your patience - we hope to make renaming branches much more robust shortly thanks to this09:40
progfounot sure if it is related though…09:40
lifelessnot relted09:40
progfouit is related to bazaar code hosting, right?09:41
wgrantprogfou: Yes, it's about that service.09:41
wgrantBut it didn't affect code imports.09:41

poolieroughly how long is the delay from a binary build succeeding to the results being available in the archive?10:07
lifelessdepends on the archive10:07
lifelessppas run at a higher frequency than Ubuntu itself10:08
wgrantpoolie: In the primary archive it can take nearly two hours if you're really badly timed.10:14
wgrantpoolie: For PPAs it should be within 10 minutes, normally within 5.10:14
maxbI seem to be experiencing missing sprites on Launchpad. Is natty's firefox incompatible with the placement trickery?10:38

wgrantmaxb: Hm, interesting, I was blaming that on fglrx being crap.10:44
maxbahhhh10:45
wgrantmaxb: Works fine in Chromium, but breaks in Firefox 4.10:45
maxbthat could explain it10:45
wgrantA similar thing happened a couple of years ago.10:45
wgrantAre you fglrx too?10:45
maxbI recently switched from radeon to fglrx because I was fed up with radeon hiding my mouse pointer in a strip down the edge of one of my monitors10:45
wgrantBack before fglrx broke in natty (last year some time) the sprites appeared to be uninitialised memory.10:46

hjd(Sorry for repeating myself, but it seems to be a bit more activity here today) Are there any known issues concerning converting bug status from Debian to Launchpad? See last comment on bug 656476.10:49

=== diwic is now known as diwic_afk
wgranthjd: It was previously Unknown, so it had not scanned before. The Debian bug is tagged 'pending', which generally means that an upload is imminent, which translates to Launchpad's Fix Committed status.11:01
hjdwgrant: ok, so it's intended behaviour?11:05
wgranthjd: Yes. But the 'pending' tag has been on the Debian bug for months :/ That's not meant to happen.11:08

rhce7320hello.  Is the the channel to talk translations?12:26
rhce7320I have a Zambian friend whom I have got interested in starting a translation effort for Bemba.  Bemba is the most common 1st language in Zam (English is 2nd) & SE Congo.  I would appreciate any help/advice in how to get her started.12:29
progfouthe first step is to get this language available as a choice12:33
progfouand from what I can see in ISO 639 files, the Bemba language code should be "bem"12:34
wgrantLaunchpad already supports Bemba (language code 'bem')12:34
wgrantHeh.12:34
wgrantI don't believe there's a translation team for it, though.12:34
wgrantrhce7320: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations may be a good start. It has some howtoish links down the bottom.12:35
progfoutake care to not mistake "bem" = Bemba for Zambia and "bmy" = Bemba for DR Congo12:36
wgrantThey have different lang codes? :/12:37
wgrantWe only have bem.12:37
progfouit seems so, at least in the ISO 639-3 available from /usr/share/xml/iso-codes/iso_639_3.xml12:37

diwicjelmer, do you have time for some brainstorming?14:48
jelmerdiwic: hi14:49
jelmerdiwic: what bout?14:49
jelmerdiwic: what about?14:49
diwicjelmer, well, if you remember my giant sound-2.6 kernel tree, I wonder if we can make it smaller at import time14:50
diwicjelmer, because I have discovered yet another problem with it (I believe)14:50
jelmerdiwic: during the import from git you mean?14:51
diwicjelmer, https://code.launchpad.net/~diwic/sound-2.6/trunk - the import succeeds, but LP gets stuck in "updating branch...", which I suspect causes the daily recipe build not to be triggered14:51
diwicjelmer, yeah14:52
=== lag is now known as Guest96979
jelmerdiwic: I don't think that has anything to do with the size of the branch14:52
jelmerjcsackett: hi14:52
jelmerjcsackett: do you know if something is up with the branch scanner?14:52
wgrantSOme branches are stuck after the network incident last week, but that's not the issue with this one.14:53
diwicwgrant, agreed - this one is stuck since 2011-03-2514:54
jcsackettjelmer: we did a codehosting update about 8 hours ago; pushing and pulling was offline for a few minutes, and there were bzrssh bumps.14:54
jcsackettjelmer: beyond that, nothing i know of off the top of my head. doesn't sound related.14:54
diwicjcsackett, that's probably not it - this one has been stuck for a while14:55
jcsackettdiwic: yeah, that's why i assume no relation.14:55
diwicjcsackett, the correlation I see is that when I see when my recipe auto-built last time was 2011-03-25, which is the same date as the top date listed in the history of https://code.launchpad.net/~diwic/sound-2.6/trunk14:56
wgrantdiwic: The scanner appears to not like your branch at all.14:57
wgrantIn that it hangs for 20 minutes and dies.14:58
wgrantThis is less than optimal.14:58
jelmerother linux trees (e.g. lp:linux) seem to work fine, which makes me think it's unrelated to the size14:59
wgrantjelmer: Well, 'fine'.15:00
wgrantjelmer: linux regular OOMs the branch mail job runner.15:00
wgrantregularly.15:00
jelmerwgrant: oh, whoa15:00
jelmeris the branch mail job runner an independent thing or part of the branch scanner?15:00
wgrantjelmer: It has a separate OOPS prefix.15:01
diwicwgrant, hmm, which kind of brings me back to the original question about whether we can make it smaller at import time (e g by skipping either some history or some subdirectories)15:01
jelmerwgrant: I'm also a bit surprised the branch scanner takes 20m on this branch - if it knows the previous tip it should only have to process a fraction of the revisions15:01

jjardonHi, currently lp:glib points to ~jjardon/glib/trunk instead ~vcs-imports/glib/trunk , how Can I fix this?15:19
deryckhi jjardon.  let me take a look....15:19
deryckjjardon, looking into.  I can change it for you, but it errors on the branch name.  You have a link for the branch?15:27
deryckjjardon, the branch you want lp:glib point at?15:27

deryckjjardon, done15:29
deryckjjardon, I don't know why you can't change this since you're maintainer.  I can look into it.15:30
deryckmaybe jcsackett knows that black magic.  Can maintainers not change series focus branch?  see ^^15:31

deryckjcsackett, ok, I'll look into it further.15:38
jcsackettderyck: if currently they can't, i think we can make a strong case for changing that.15:38
deryckjcsackett, yeah, that would be my guess, is just they don't have permission to do so.  But seems odd to me.15:39
