RenatoSilvaI can mark a bug as duplicate, right. But I want to mark it as superseded?00:13
RenatoSilvas/?/. How?00:13
RenatoSilvabecause I want to link them. The previous bug became invalid because of the problem becoming worse00:13
RenatoSilvadidn't update the original bug as I think it's a new problem, and anyway it was generated by ubuntu-bug which makes it all complex00:14
Noldorin_how do i correctly use the "Affects" entries in a Launchpad bug? it strikes me as redundant01:08
Noldorin_i.e. how can it affect the project as a whole *and* a specific series?01:09
ScottKIf not specified, it's assumed to be the development release.01:12
ScottKSo if you want to specify it affects multiple releases, that's how you do it.01:13

wgrantNoldorin_: Most projects use series tasks only for tracking backports of fixes to released series.01:26
Noldorin_ohh01:26
Noldorin_wgrant, now that makes sense!01:26
Noldorin_ta01:26
Noldorin_wgrant, so it won't make sence to have it "affect" trunk really right?01:30
wgrantNoldorin_: Ubuntu does that, but most projects don't tend to.01:30
Noldorin_right01:31
Noldorin_wgrant, what does Ubuntu use it for?01:31
wgrantNoldorin_: Tracking release-critical bugs.01:32
Noldorin_wgrant, how does tracking in Trunk as opposed to the project (whole) make a difference though?01:33
wgrantNoldorin_: Ubuntu has a *lot* of bugs, most of which are not release-critical.01:34
wgrantUbuntu targets to trunk (well, the development series) for bugs that are of particular interest to this series.01:34
Noldorin_wgrant, ok but if i forget about targeting to Trunk and only target to specific x.y release series i cna't go much wrong, right?01:35
wgrantIndeed.01:35
Noldorin_great.01:35
Noldorin_wgrant, last thing: i somehow managed to get a few bugs showing "Status tracked in Trunk", e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ircdotnet/+bug/52124101:36
ubot5Ubuntu bug 521241 in IRC.NET trunk "MOTD only shows last line" [Medium,Fix committed]01:36
Noldorin_not sure how i did that even...?01:36
wgrantNoldorin_: Set them to "Won't Fix" to get the main task back.01:36
Noldorin_wgrant, oh i see. how did i do it in the first place though? :-)01:38
wgrantNoldorin_: You must have clicked "Target to series", I guess.01:39
Noldorin_wgrant, oh but normally, it shows separate status/importances/etc. for each01:41
wgrantNoldorin_: Right, except for the special case of the development series.01:42
wgrantIf that is targeted, the main task doesn't have a separate status/importance.01:42
bobweaverHi there02:16
Noldorinwgrant, oh, i see, got it.02:39
Noldorinwgrant, so i could just assign standard development bugs to Trunk...but it's probably convention just to leave it as default (main project)?02:40
wgrantNoldorin: Right.02:40
Noldorinok02:40
Noldorinwgrant, thanks very much :-)02:40
DNS777hi guys :)02:43
DNS777is some admin online who can reactive build this > https://launchpad.net/~dns/+archive/gnu/+build/265649702:44
wgrantDNS777: It looks like you deleted and then recopied the source package?02:45
DNS777only this package is "stucked" thru i got it delete and then build again02:45
wgrantIt's not possibly to retrieve that build without changing the version and uploading again.02:46
DNS777the i386 and amd again builded02:46
wgrantHowever: Ubuntu 9.04 has been unsupported for 9 months now, and isn't really supportd by Launchpad any more.02:46
wgrantYou should probably stop building for it; we'll start rejecting uploads soon.02:46
wgrantKarmic has been unsupported for three months, and we'll start rejecting uploads to it soon as well.02:46
DNS777hm k02:46
bobweaverIs there a video that explains launchpad and all that it offers or tutorials04:34
lifelesstheres a tour04:41
lifelesslinked from the front page04:41
Noldorinwgrant, ah, one more thing: can i revert all the "affects" info from Trunk to the project for a certain bug>05:34
Noldorin?05:34
Noldorinwgrant, around still?05:51
benonsoftwareMy karma said it has expired https://edge.launchpad.net/~benny08:14
lifelessbenonsoftware: https://edge.launchpad.net/~benny/+karma looks fine to me; karma does naturally degrade and expire08:34
benonsoftwarelifeless: On help.launchpad.net it said in 6 months it will be half. I have been a member on LP for about 3 months08:37
benonsoftwareNo its better :)08:39
benonsoftwarelifeless: How do I change my location on my page?08:40
lifelesshmm?08:40
benonsoftwarelifeless: Yess?08:44
lifelessbenonsoftware: you've lost me08:45
benonsoftwarelifeless: What do you mean?08:45
lifelessjust that08:46
benonsoftwareWhat?08:46
lifelessYou've confused me.08:48
lifelessAnd for the win we seem to be going in circles, which is a tad boring.08:48
benonsoftwarelifeless: On https://edge.launchpad.net/~benny down the bottom it stats location. How do I change it?08:48
lifelessbenonsoftware: it only shows that to you08:50
lifelessbenonsoftware: we used to have a maps feature, but thats been removed.08:50
benonsoftwarelifeless: I can see other people locations on there pages08:51
lifelessshrug, thats odd.08:53
lifelessanyhow, its obsolete, feel free to file a bug that it shows up08:53
benonsoftwareOk08:53
lifelessas for changing it, it used to be in your personal settings somewhere08:53
wgrantThe timezone information is not obsolete.08:53
benonsoftwarewgrant: I do I change it then?08:54
lifelesswgrant: time zone != location08:54
wgranthttps://launchpad.net/~/+editlocation08:54
lifelesswgrant: or do we conflate the two08:55
wgrantlifeless: Time zone is shown twice.08:55
wgrantOnce as time zone, once as location.;08:55

benonsoftwarewgrant: Thanks. You just showed me 2 new tips ;008:55

Noldorinhello. is there any way i can revert a "Trunk" affects-row into a Project affects-row for a bug?21:13
Noldorini.e. undo the assignment to Trunkj21:13
=== Quintasan_ is now known as Quintasan
lifelessNoldorin: you can mark it invalid21:52
Noldorinlifeless, right...21:54
Noldorinlifeless, that won't actually delete it though will it?21:54
lifelessthats correct21:54
Noldorinlifeless, oh, why isn't that feature offered?21:55
Noldorini suppose this is alright...just a bit messy21:55
Noldorinoh well21:55
lifelessthe early design of Launchpad had a 'do not delete data' mandate, largely because of the very open and inviting approach - the flip side of letting anyone participate is anyone will participate21:55
lifelessand deleting content is something hard to undo21:56
lifelessas we change things these days we are trying to provide undo knobs rather than blanket deletes of data21:56
lifelesss/rather than preventing/21:57
lifelessbut we haven't gotten to bug tasks yet21:58

Noldorin_lifeless, ok sure. that sounds fair enough22:28
Noldorin_lifeless, put adding such functionaity for bug tasks is in the pipeline right?22:28
jimisHi, is there some way to display a tree-like list of branches from the command line?23:00
jimisSo I can see which one was forked from which23:01
wgrantNoldorin_: "Won't Fix" it.23:04
wgrantNoldorin_: That will reopen the main task.23:04
Noldorin_wgrant, oh, not "Invalid"?23:04
wgrantNo.23:04
Noldorin_wgrant, ok sure23:04
Noldorin_wgrant, you are working on a bug task functionality...or it's in the pipeline at least? :-)23:05
X3lectrichey wagrant23:05
wgrantjimis: bzr qlog and glog can show you a revision graph of all the branches in the current directory.23:05
wgrantNoldorin_: Not really.23:05
Noldorin_wgrant, why not?23:05
wgrantBecause Launchpad has *lots* of other things that need fixing.23:06
Noldorin_wgrant, but it's not even on the cards down the road?23:06
wgrantReworking the way series tasks works may happen next year. Ubuntu wants some changes, but it's not clear what yet.23:07
Noldorin_wgrant, ok sure. thanks for explaining23:08
X3lectricwgrant: I though Lauchpad was gonna fix FTP uploads months ago it still only works with sftp23:08
wgrantX3lectric: We believe all bugs on our end are fixed.23:09
wgrantX3lectric: I would tend to suspect your Internet connection now.23:10
X3lectricsay what23:10
X3lectricthers nothing wrong with my intrenet connection or networking23:10
X3lectricspelling on irc perhaps23:11
wgrantYou frequently upload large files to other FTP sites?23:11
X3lectricyes sir23:11
X3lectricwas anything significant changed in how FTP should be configured?23:15
jimiswgrant: I get "unknown command" for qlog23:15

X3lectriccause my old file use to work then it stopped when ters were FTP issues with launchpad, switched to sftp and every other week try to use FTP and fails23:16
jimisI've only cmdline access to the server23:16
wgrantjimis: It is. It's in qbzr.23:16
wgrantHmm.23:16
wgrantX3lectric: We have entirely replaced the FTP that is used, and very few people have complained since.23:16
X3lectricthats why im asking if anything config wise changed23:17
X3lectricI dont get a chance to come winge here ;P23:18
lifelessX3lectric: what are teh symptoms you see23:20
X3lectricoff hand atm when I change to ftp it errors out i cant remmebr the error exactly23:21
