sbtehi, is there a way for developers to see private bugs reported for their own project in the ubuntu bug tracker?19:22
sbtebecause I'm a developer of emesene myself, and heard from someone that there are a lot of private bugs with useful backtraces19:23
trinikronosbte: i believe once you are in bug control you should be able to see it?19:23
sbteyes, in your own project I think, but I'm talking about the bugs reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emesene19:24
sbtenot https://bugs.launchpad.net/emesene19:24
sbtetrinikrono, ^19:24
charlie-tcasbte: as a bugcontrol member, when I go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emesene I see 76 bugs19:26
charlie-tcaMany of them are indeed private19:26
charlie-tcabut I can access all of them19:26
trinikronoso i thought correct charlie-tca ?19:27
charlie-tcaLooks like a lot of SIGSEGV faults19:27
charlie-tcatrinikrono: yes19:27
sbtecharlie-tca, I see only 48, of which 47 are actually invalid, but I don't feel like spending time on marking them all as such19:28
jtaylorsbte: does your application handle some kind of private data like passwords etc that might show up in stacktraces?19:28
charlie-tcaThere are no bugs listed for https://bugs.launchpad.net/emesene because the project itself does not use launchpad to track the bugs19:28
charlie-tcaThe 48 you see are the ones not marked "private"19:28
sbtejtaylor, no, it does handle passwords, but they can't appear in backtraces19:28
sbtecharlie-tca, I know, we use github19:29
sbtebut if the private bugs are actual bug, it's useful if we fix them19:29
charlie-tcaThe private bugs "they" referred to are the ones you are not seeing19:29
sbtecharlie-tca, yep, and I was wondering if there was a way for the emesene-team to see them19:30
charlie-tcaAs the upstream developer, you can ask for bugcontrol privileges for emesene, and it will normally be granted19:30
charlie-tcaI do not have the authority to do it, though19:31
trinikronopost the link to the bug control wiki page now?19:31
charlie-tcaYou should ask during the week, either pedro_ or bdmurry, I think19:31
sbtecharlie-tca, ok, thanks. will do19:32
charlie-tcatrinikrono: we normally don't require the upstream developer to go through the same process19:32
charlie-tcabut they only work their own project bugs, too.19:32
trinikronoi have applied to bug control charlie-tca ;)19:34
charlie-tcaThat's great! You should be ready for it. Your work is good19:34
sbteoh, found the wiki, says i need to ask jcastro19:35
sbtei'll see if he's around in ayatana19:35
charlie-tcaOkay19:35

ashamsHi I need help on this19:55
ashamsAre the following two bugs dupes19:55
sbtecharlie-tca, trinikrono, thanks for the help19:55
ashamshttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/28764619:55
ashamshttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/73049519:55
charlie-tcaashams: no, they are not duplicates. Under Unity, if compiz is broken, nothing will work right, so they had to wait for it to be fixed to test evince19:59
charlie-tcaback when the bug was filed against evince, compiz did not get used even20:00
ashamscharlie-tca: thank you :D20:00
sbtecharlie-tca, got my bug control access, thanks for the help again20:08
sbtedo you happen to know if the launchpad API has something that allows you to do this:20:09
sbtefor bug in emesene: bug.closed(invalid)20:09
sbtewould be neat20:09
charlie-tcaVery good! You are welcome20:09
charlie-tcaI don't know the scripting side of things.20:10
sbtebecause most bugs were reported with a really old version of emesene and don't apply anymore20:10
sbteand I don't feel like closing 70 bugs manually20:10
jtaylorlaunchpad has an api wher you can do that20:11
jtaylorhttps://help.launchpad.net/API/launchpadlib20:12
jtaylora useful tool for experimenting is lp-shell20:12
sbtejtaylor, thanks, I'll check it out20:13
