rglis there a way to completly reset a PPA? that is, nuke everything in it, and start over? or really delete it and create again?11:01
rglI've made some mistakes while publishing a package ... so I want to start over.11:02
rglI known about https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+faq/661 and  https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/392887 but it still does not work as expected :/11:02
ubot5Ubuntu bug 392887 in Launchpad itself "Cannot delete a PPA" [Low,Fix released]11:02
wgrantrgl: You can't easily delete a PPA and then reuse the name just yet.11:02
wgrantrgl: What's the problem?11:03
rglwgrant, I've deleted https://launchpad.net/~rgl/+archive/elasticsearch and later I tried to reenable it by adding /+edit in the url. but now I have to fuzz with the url to edit it because the top right menu does not show the edit links.11:04
wgrantrgl: Ah, you can't really undelete it like that...11:05
wgrantIt shouldn't have let you reenable it.11:05
rgloh it did.11:05
rglanyways, to "enable" it I've just checked the two checkboxes: Enabled and Publish.11:06
rglso I really should remove then?11:06
wgrantWell. It should mostly work now. But it's not really supported yet.11:07
wgrantDoes it accept uploads?11:08
wgrantI suspect it will.11:08
rglwhat do you mean by "now"?11:08
rglI didn't try11:08
wgrant"now" being after you've checked those two flags.11:08
rglshould I be afraid that it will break on the future?11:09
wgrantPPA deletion was only implemented to allow people to rename their accounts (that's not possible if you have PPAs). So it was only taken far enough to permit that; it's not really finished.11:11
wgrantI'd go ahead and use the PPA for now. We'll hopefully make all this a bit less messy soonish.11:12
wgrantAll that's special about a deleted PPA is that the links are gone, basically.11:12
wgrant(once you enable it and set the publish flag again)11:12
rglthe top-right menu links?11:13
wgrantYes.11:13
rglhumm I enabled the flags, but only the "View package details" link is there.11:14
rglthe PPA seems to accept uploads.11:14
wgrantRight, those links will stay gone for now because part of the system still thinks it's deleted. There's no way you can unset that, but the only thing that respects that partial deletion state is the "Change details" etc. links.11:14
rglalright :)11:17
rglanother things that bother me, if I delete all packages from the PPA, it still leaves "trash" in the PPA :|11:17
rglfor example, I cannot upload the same package version again.11:17
wgrantRight. That's deliberate.11:18
rglI mean, the same version that was supposedly deleted.11:18
wgrantapt and Launchpad will get a little confused if you use the same version twice. Why do you want to?11:18
rgljust because I made noob mistakes the first time =)11:19
wgrantIt's non-trivial to permit that, and it would be an exceptional case in which version reuse was justified.11:19
wgrantWhat's wrong with incrementing the version?11:19
rglso to fix them I had to add another entry in the package changelog.11:19
rgltechnically, nothing wrong. but the package history now has "trash" in it.11:20
rglhumm it seems to build the package correctly now, but when I expand the package, this appears:  Note: Some binary packages for this source are not yet published in the repository.11:21
rgloh nm. it disapeared!11:22
wgrantrgl: Give it a couple of minutes.11:22
wgrantThings are only published by a cron job that runs every 5 minutes.11:22
rglI see. thx :)11:22

jcsackettdo you mean in the sense of when a project will be deactivated?17:37
mainerrorin the sense of after what amount of time17:37
jcsackettmainerror: There isn't a distinct time limit to my knowledge.  But sinzui may be able to correct me if i am wrong.17:39
sinzuimainerror: There is no definition but...17:39
sinzuimainerror: we have discusses 365 days without karmic activity and not linked to a community.17:40
sinzuimainerror: This rule is fundementally flawed because Lp does not award karma for most project activity and we have discussed removing karma17:41
mainerrorI see, so basically if someone created a project and lost interest in it, it is up to me to contact the owner and ask him to either ask for deactivation or to assign someone else as owner17:41
sinzuimainerror: yes. He cannot deactivate the project. Someone must ask for a new owner or ask for it to be removed17:42

sinzuifacundobatista: You must be a driver of that project to target to a series21:55
sinzuifacundobatista: since you cannot undo a mistake when targeting to a series, you should not do it unless you are certain you will meet to goal. In general, land a fix in trunk, then target to a series to do backports21:56

azopDoes Launchpad support virtual domain names for commercial projects?22:20
beunoazop, it doesn't, no22:21
lifelessDo you mean like $projectname.launchpad.net ?22:21
lifelessIf so, no, sorry.22:21
azoplifeless: no, like improve.bluecherrydvr.com for example22:21
azoplifeless: beuno: okay thanks22:22
lifelessazop: we don22:22
lifelessbah22:22
lifelessazop: theres no reason you couldn't have a trivial config (many DNS hosts will do this for you) that redirects traffic to improve.bluecherrydvr.com -> launchpad.net/bluecherrydvr22:22
azoplifeless: yea, I could set that up22:23
lifelessazop: however, due in large part to the web framework we have, every page has an 'official' url22:23
lifelessand all the links generated go to that ur22:23
lifelessurl22:23
azoplifeless: I'd just rather have it show up as improve.bluecherrydvr.com in the URL bar, instead of being redirected22:23
lifelessso it would be pretty hard for us to keep the url bar to stay on a different domain than the main lp one.22:23
azopyea22:23
azopis there a maximum attachment size for LP?22:24
lifelessyes, I think its 2GB or something22:24
azopokay22:24
lifelesswe have technical limits around that at the moment - it will use a lot of memory on the appserver while it uploads22:24
lifelessdownloading is fine22:24
azopare you aware of anyone who has imported issues from redmine?22:25
lifelessyeah22:26
lifelesshttps://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/104299 was a ticket from one such migration22:27
lifelessazop: please ignore the poor responsiveness in there - we've reorganised the team now to handle such things better.22:27
TheEvilPhoenixout of curiosity, do you know if its possible to have bug tracking point to a bugzilla setup?  or how to import bugs from bugzilla to launchpad?22:28
azopokay, I was hoping there would be some priority for a commercial launchpad account22:29
lifelessazop: certainly thats a factor - the previous issue we had was that the team doing lp bugtracker development was also the one doing the customer support, and you probably know how focused devs get22:30
azopyap22:30
lifelessazop: now we rotate between doing development and doing customer support, so there is less opportunity to get adsorbed in a problem and ignore our users.22:30
azoplifeless: I have a couple more questions if you have a moment22:31
lifelessTheEvilPhoenix: its possible in two ways - we can bidirectional sync with a bugzilla *for named bugs only*, or you can do a bulk import22:31
lifelessTheEvilPhoenix: the latter being just to migrate22:31
lifelessazop: shoot22:31
azoplifeless: We used to have a commercial account but never used it so it expired.  If we renew it, would we get access to 'Answers' for our project?22:32
TheEvilPhoenixlifeless:  "we" as in the launchpad admins?22:32
TheEvilPhoenixor "we" as in the launchpad framework?22:32
lifelessTheEvilPhoenix: the latter22:32
lifelessTheEvilPhoenix: we got https://launchpad.net/bugzilla-launchpad written initially, and its now part of bugzilla 322:33
lifelessTheEvilPhoenix: so the two bugtrackers can chatter to each other quite happily.22:33
lifelessazop: do you mean a private answers area?22:33
lifelessazop: or do you mean 'can use answers at all' ?22:33
lifelessI don't believe we have implemented a private answers module yet. - sinzui ?22:34
azoplifeless: basically, answers.launchpad.net/bluecherry where customers can ask questions specific to our software and we can create bug reports if needed22:34
lifelessazop: certainly you can use it22:34
lifelessazop: but like I say I don't think it has privacy / disclosure features yet, which may impact its usefulness to you.22:34
sinzuiWe have not planned to implement private answers22:35
azopokay22:35
sinzuiNo stake holder has listed it as desirable given other choices. Contributors are welcome to implement it22:35
azopis the translation service open to commercial accounts also?22:35
lifelesscommercial accounts can use all the feature of LP22:36
azopokay, that answers that22:36
lifelessthe parts we haven't added privacy support to may not be suitable for some commercial users.22:36
TheEvilPhoenixlifeless:  anything there to support Bugzilla 4?22:36
lifelessI am sure that translations doesn't have privacy support either.22:36
lifelessTheEvilPhoenix: built in still AIUI.22:37
TheEvilPhoenixlifeless:  AIUI = As I Understand It?22:38
lifelessTheEvilPhoenix: exactly22:38
TheEvilPhoenixlifeless:  aj00200 (who just joined) maintains the bugzilla setup for a project I'm affiliated with, aj00200 also owns the project on launchpad, hence the questions about getting bugzilla and launchpad to communicate smoothly22:40
TheEvilPhoenixeven though my question was out of curiosity, it led to a sort of support question :P22:40
thopiekarhi.. there seem to be something wrong with the launchpad builders.. this build-log says kdelibs5-dev is installed but cmake fails while FindNepomuk.cmake isn't available, but http://ns2.canonical.com/de/natty/i386/kdelibs5-dev/filelist says that it is part of that package..22:45

aj00200Is there any documentation on setting up a bugzilla-launchpad connection?22:46
thopiekarconnecting a project on launchpad to bugzilla? , aj0020022:47
aj00200thopiekar: yes22:47
thopiekarcheck out https://bugs.launchpad.net/[your-project]/+configure-bugtracker (replace [your-project] with the name of your project)22:48

thopiekar<< Bugs are tracked in: "In a registered bug tracker:" >>22:49

lifelessaj00200: theres stuff on help.launchpad.net too; basically we can federate bugs that have been explicitly registered22:49

lifelessthopiekar: I don't think its a builder issue22:53

thopiekarI used dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot22:54
sinzuiI can look22:54
lifelessthopiekar: so, you need to build it in a chroot or a vm with only build-essential + named dependencies to be sure that its not a dependency/package version issue22:55
lifelessthopiekar: pbuilder is pretty good at that22:55
sinzuiaj00200: This is all that is documented https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/BugzillaPlugin22:55

aj00200I think I have it figured out. https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/RemoteTrackerCoverage It is only possible to link bugs which already exist in launchpad which isn't really a problem for us because we don't have any bugs in launchpad. We were lookng for the bug-import feature which isn't implemented in launchpad23:28
