| wgrant | elmo, nigelb: At least U1 was changing their comboloader stuff a few weeks ago... and YUI is pretty awesome at falling back to the CDN silently if your comboloader misses something. | 00:07 |
|---|---|---|
| wgrant | I guess +decide probably uses some module that isn't in the comboloader. | 00:08 |
| wgrant | (it has some expandy JS stuff) | 00:08 |
| wgrant | Really good for security. | 00:08 |
| bjsnider | is lsb installed by default on the ppa builders? | 02:46 |
| wgrant | bjsnider: You must build-depend on anything that is not build-essential. | 02:48 |
| jo-erlend | how do I remove a package from my PPA? I did a test build a while ago, and now it refuses to build new packages for me because the one already in the archive has a higher version number, but it's wrong. | 03:40 |
| jo-erlend | I've been waiting for hours for this to finish (: | 03:42 |
| jo-erlend | :( | 03:42 |
| jo-erlend | where can I learn how to use Launchpad to properly build packages? I'm spending days and days just to make a package so I can test on other computers. I hate this stuff. I want to program :( | 03:51 |
| wgrant | jo-erlend: Click "View package details", then "Delete packages" | 03:53 |
| wgrant | You may have to wait for up to an hour before you can upload a lower version. You should not rely on this in future. | 03:53 |
| wgrant | And, even once deleted, you can never upload the same version again. | 03:54 |
| wgrant | Have you read https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA and the Ubuntu Packaging Guide? | 03:54 |
| jo-erlend | I have been able to upload packages before, by packaging and then pushing it to launchpad. But since I _really_ hate this kind of distraction, I wanted to make use of the daily builds. But it doesn't work, and I don't understand why. | 03:57 |
| jo-erlend | wgrant, that seems like _a lot_ to learn just to distribute a simple Python application? | 04:01 |
| wgrant | jo-erlend: Not all of the documents are relevant to that use case, and you should be able to find simple examples. But packaging some things can be extremely non-trivial, so the full documents are not small. | 04:04 |
| nigelb | wgrant: Interesting | 04:05 |
| wgrant | #ubuntu-motu and #ubuntu-packaging may be helpful. | 04:07 |
| wgrant | nigelb: Hm? | 04:07 |
| nigelb | re:YUI | 04:07 |
| nigelb | I've never used it :) Always used jQuery :P | 04:07 |
| jo-erlend | I guess I'll stick with zipfiles. | 04:08 |
| nigelb | G26 | 04:09 |
| nigelb | gah | 04:09 |
| jo-erlend | wgrant, how long time do you think I'll have to set aside to understand these packaging things? Are we talking weeks or months? | 04:10 |
| wgrant | jo-erlend: A couple of hours should be fine to package a Python app. | 04:25 |
| wgrant | And once you learn how to do it, a trivial packaging job can take just a few minutes, depending on the software being packaged. | 04:26 |
| wgrant | Tools like pkgme are being developed to make this easy, but they depend very much on your software following language-specific conventions. | 04:27 |
| jo-erlend | right. But is there anything I can read that will help me package python applications? Because they all refer to compiling C applications and other completely uninteresting things. | 04:27 |
| wgrant | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Python#The_debhelper_way may be helpful. | 04:31 |
| wgrant | But #ubuntu-packaging or #ubuntu-motu can probably offer better advice; there's nothing Launchpad-specific about this, and the tools have evolved significantly in the couple of years since I last did a lot of packaging work. | 04:32 |
| jo-erlend | yes, but the single goal is to get daily builds from launchpad to work. I' | 04:35 |
| jo-erlend | the less I learn about packaging, the better. :) | 04:36 |
| === michaelh1|away is now known as michaelh1 | ||
| wgrant | jo-erlend: To package something you need to know how to package it. | 04:39 |
| wgrant | jo-erlend: Daily builds are no exception. | 04:39 |
| wgrant | They just automatically update and build the package as you tell them to. | 04:40 |
| jo-erlend | well... Typing "quickly share" isn't all that complicated. :) | 04:43 |
| wgrant | quickly is quite a special case; you didn't say you were using it :) | 04:45 |
| jo-erlend | in what way is it special? | 04:47 |
| wgrant | It's designed with pretty much exactly this in mind. | 04:48 |
| wgrant | So it goes to great lengths to make its projects easily packagable in an automated fashion. | 04:49 |
| jo-erlend | yes, but can I make launchpad use it? | 04:49 |
| StevenK | quickly package ; make a branch, point a recipe at the two branches, profit? | 04:50 |
| jo-erlend | btw... I just deleted the packages now. Do I have to wait some time before I upload and request a build, or can I do that right away? | 04:50 |
| wgrant | Unless quickly has built-in Launchpad recipe support, you will probably need to run 'quickly package' and extract the generated debian/ and put it in a branhc. | 04:50 |
| jo-erlend | damn. I just realized that quickly-widgets can't be published that way even. So I guess I'll have to start from scratch anyway. | 04:51 |
| jo-erlend | perhaps I should just go to sleep and have another look at it when I'm not so tired. Perhaps it won't look quite so daunting then. :) | 04:58 |

| Linuxsapien | morning, just a simple question, how do I change my real name in my launchpad account please? | 09:56 |
| wgrant | Linuxsapien: https://launchpad.net/~/+edit | 09:58 |
| Linuxsapien | ive used taht wgrant but it still uses old name | 10:00 |
| wgrant | Where? | 10:00 |
| Linuxsapien | that link | 10:00 |
| wgrant | What still uses the old name? | 10:01 |
| Linuxsapien | the account | 10:01 |
| wgrant | Where? | 10:01 |
| wgrant | Where is the old name shown? | 10:01 |
| Linuxsapien | on that link you gave me | 10:02 |
| wgrant | In the form? | 10:02 |
| Linuxsapien | if I change it to something else, then I use my launchpad for openID it still uses old name | 10:02 |
| wgrant | Ah. Launchpad doesn't serve OpenID... it delegates to login.ubuntu.com. Try changing it there instead. | 10:03 |
| Linuxsapien | i will try | 10:04 |
| Linuxsapien | thanks | 10:04 |
| chrisccoulson | is it not possible to use the same e-mail address for more than 1 account in launchpad? | 10:16 |
| wgrant | chrisccoulson: It's not. | 10:18 |
| chrisccoulson | wgrant, thanks | 10:18 |
| wgrant | chrisccoulson: Launchpad uses email addresses as identifiers in lots of places. Incoming email, references in emails, Changed-By/Maintainer in packages, etc. | 10:18 |
| chrisccoulson | wgrant, yeah, that makes sense then :) | 10:19 |
| wgrant | To have them not unambiguously identify a person or team, when that can reasonably be assumed to be the case, would be troublesome. | 10:19 |
| htorque | hi everyone! is there a gpg key problem: "https://private-ppa.launchpad.net oneiric Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 2AF0E92042F834EC Launchpad ppa" | 10:33 |
| htorque | i'm getting this when doing apt-get update - the ppa in question contains the beta mono font | 10:33 |
| wgrant | htorque: If you run 'ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists/*walled-garden*', is there a 0-byte Release file? | 10:43 |
| wgrant | At least I'm assuming this is walled-garden we are talking about. | 10:43 |
| === michaelh1 is now known as michaelh1|away | ||
| htorque | wgrant, there is no walled-garden, but a "private-ppa.launchpad.net_ubuntu-font-beta-testing_ppa_ubuntu_dists_oneiric_Release" with 0 bytes. delete and retry? | 11:11 |
| htorque | wgrant: well, deleting that file worked, thanks! i just wonder how this could have happened. | 11:14 |
| shadeslayer | hi, i was wondering how do i close merge requests in launchpad using bzr ? | 11:31 |
| wgrant | shadeslayer: Have you committed and pushed the merge? | 11:34 |
| shadeslayer | wgrant: yes | 11:35 |
| shadeslayer | currently i have to manually go to each merge and set it to merged | 11:35 |
| wgrant | Do you have an example? | 11:35 |
| shadeslayer | wgrant: one sec :) | 11:35 |
| shadeslayer | wgrant: https://code.launchpad.net/~bulldog98/kubuntu-packaging/kdegames/+merge/73957 | 11:37 |
| shadeslayer | i just merged that branch a couple of seconds ago | 11:37 |
| wgrant | Merged into lp:~kubuntu-packagers/kubuntu-packaging/kdegames at revision 132 | 11:38 |
| wgrant | It worked fine. | 11:38 |
| wgrant | It can take a minute or so to detect that, however. | 11:39 |
| shadeslayer | ah | 11:39 |
| shadeslayer | ok | 11:39 |
| bulldog98 | the proposals for merge requests are not that good as they should be | 11:43 |
| bulldog98 | eg https://code.launchpad.net/~bulldog98/kubuntu-packaging/kiten/+register-merge | 11:43 |
| bulldog98 | i want to merge that into lp:~kubuntu-packagers/kubuntu-packaging/kiten but that’s what I don’t get proposed (that’s everytime) | 11:44 |
| wgrant | bulldog98: It's because you're abusing projects :( | 11:44 |
| wgrant | kubuntu-packaging doesn't make sense as a project. | 11:45 |
| wgrant | Because you have dozens of different codebases. | 11:45 |
| wgrant | They should be either real Ubuntu packaging branches, or branches of the upstream projects. | 11:45 |
| wgrant | It's not intended that people should maintain dozens of trunks within a single project. | 11:45 |
| wgrant | You are doing a KDE again, except this time with projects instead of packages :( | 11:46 |
| bulldog98 | wgrant: but that’s what we do because it makes most sence | 11:47 |
| wgrant | Howso? | 11:48 |
| wgrant | It's not at all how Launchpad is designed to be used, so it's not going to work very well. | 11:48 |
| wgrant | So it definitely doesn't make the most sense. | 11:48 |
| bulldog98 | wgrant: otherwise we gain karma in kdepim, but we haven’t done any kdepim code | 11:48 |
| wgrant | bulldog98: I'm not sure that karma is a good justification :) | 11:56 |
| wgrant | Karma wasn't really designed to work in any particular way. Everything else was designed under the rough assumption that one codebase is one project. | 11:57 |
| wgrant | Violating that on a scale like this is probably not going to end well. | 11:57 |
| wgrant | What prevents you from using Ubuntu packaging branches? | 11:57 |
| wgrant | Or potentially a custom distribution. | 11:57 |
| wgrant | Just to hold the branches for each source package. | 11:57 |
| wgrant | bulldog98, shadeslayer: ^^ | 11:58 |
| bulldog98 | wgrant: ask vddlogger | 11:58 |
| shadeslayer | wgrant: KDE 5 will have even more splits, so making a project for each package right now doesn't make sense | 11:59 |
| wgrant | Why not? | 12:00 |
| shadeslayer | because it involves too much work that we will have to do again at the point KDE 5 releases ... | 12:00 |
| shadeslayer | iirc we discussed this on the kubuntu-devel ML | 12:01 |
| wgrant | Any idea why you're not using real Ubuntu branches? | 12:02 |
| bulldog98 | everytime I try to propose a merge I get Error ID: OOPS-2073J35 | 12:06 |
| ubot5 | https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=2073J35 | 12:06 |
| wgrant | We want to support this sort of thing well. The way you're doing it now is probably not going to work well, so it would be handy to know what other options you've considered and discarded, and why. | 12:06 |
| wgrant | bulldog98: Is that for a branch you've just pushed? | 12:06 |
| bulldog98 | wgrant: yes | 12:06 |
| bulldog98 | no 7 min ago | 12:07 |
| bulldog98 | or later | 12:07 |
| bulldog98 | again that’s the 12 time that’s happening | 12:08 |
| bulldog98 | https://code.launchpad.net/~bulldog98/kubuntu-packaging/kletters/+register-merge | 12:08 |
| bulldog98 | 21 min ago the branch was created | 12:08 |
| bulldog98 | that one failed again | 12:10 |
| shadeslayer | wgrant: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kubuntu-devel/2011-June/005292.html | 12:19 |
| bulldog98 | again trying to propose the same merge the 25th time (and 30min after branch creation) Error ID: OOPS-2073AV37 | 12:20 |
| ubot5 | https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=2073AV37 | 12:20 |

| ubot5 | https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=2073DZ29 | 12:33 |
| bulldog98 | wgrant: what’s going wrong there :'( | 12:33 |
| StevenK | bulldog98: It's obvious there is a problem. Performing the same action over and over again and expecting a different result is insanity. And you clog up our reporting system and skew our numbers by doing so, so please stop. | 12:35 |
| vddlogger | bulldog98, wgrant: I'll need a summary of whatever you were talking about as I am rather busy ATM | 12:35 |
| bulldog98 | vddlogger: why don’t we use ubuntu-style branches? | 12:36 |

| macer1 | I am member of Polish Translators team for translations, member of bug squad for helping with bugs, is there any other things that users(not-canonical) can help ;)? | 18:00 |
