ajf_would anyone have any idea what this dependency problem is caused by? It builds fine on natty/precise/oneric/maverick. It says pbuilder-satisfydepends-dummy is "BROKEN" and has an unmet dependency on dh-autoreconf12:13
ajf_https://launchpadlibrarian.net/87494954/buildlog.txt.gz12:13
ajf_this is a lynx build12:14
ajf_I am using dh-autoreconf in my rules file and put it in the control file... is the problem that dh-autoreconf is only in backports and the pbuilder on launchpad won't use backports?12:18
czajkowskiajf_: morning12:20
ajf_oh, hello, you've caught me using ubuntu :oD12:22
odonygmb: hello, do you think bug 904683 could be a consequence of the build delays due to HW failure?12:45
ubot5Launchpad bug 904683 in Launchpad itself "Updating branch seems to last forever" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/90468312:45
odonygmb: not sure if this is what you mean by "build delays"... and if it is, how can we fix such a 'dead' branch?12:46
gmbodony, No, I don't think so; I think it's part of a separate bug (bug 808930, for reference) which I'm currently working on debugging.12:46
ubot5Launchpad bug 808930 in Launchpad itself "Timeout running branch scanner job" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/80893012:46
gmbodony, If you've got a stuck branch it might be worth adding a new commit (even if nothing changes; `bzr ci --unchanged` should work for you) and pushing again.12:47
gmbodony, I'll make a note on 904683 that it could be linked to 80893012:48

ajf_Just wondering how/if I can use backports for build time dependencies in a lynx PPA build. Though, I wonder if there was some other alternative to dh-autoreconf that was supposed to be used in lynx if it's not in the main repositories.13:21
gmbgeser, By creation time; the numbers are added afterwards.13:23
geserajf_: you can let your PPA (build-)depend on other PPAs (not sure if backports work too) or you can copy the needed packages into your PPA13:23
gesergmb: ah that explains the ordering in bug #904179. what is used for comments sent my mail? the time when they got processed or when they got sent? (compare the timestamp for comment #2 with the timestamps in the activity log)13:25

gmbczajkowski, Then I'm the wrong person to ask in many, many ways :). bigjools, StevenK or wgrant would be my first stops for that one.13:28
czajkowskiaye bigjools was my next ping13:28
czajkowski:)13:28
gesergmb: I found it irritating in that bug to read the comment about nothing to upload when the comment before it had a debdiff attached (until I looked at the activity log and then the comments numbers)13:30
ajf_gmb: hmm ok thanks. I may do that then. I thought dh-autoreconf had been the preferred way to do this for a while, so I'm surprised it seems to be backports for lynx, but I could be wrong there.~13:31
geserthe activity log shows that they got added after that comment, yet sort before it13:31
lifelessthe sort is by date13:31
lifelesswe trust the send date on received email13:31

czajkowskibigjools: ajf_ had a comment at 12:1213:38
bigjoolsI have a vague recollection of debhelper being in backports13:39
bigjoolsyou need to go into the "edit dependencies" on the PPA page13:40
bigjoolsyou can change where it pulls deps from Ubuntu13:40
bigjoolsit's normally only -updates and -security13:40
bigjoolsor you can copy the relevant package into the PPA if you don't want crackports13:41

gmbAh.13:42
lifelessgmb: when I fixed 'comment numbers are unstable when mails dated in the past are received'13:42

ubot5Launchpad bug 1 in Ubuntu "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/113:43
lifelessgmb: to avoid having to evaluate them all I stored the comment number in the db, which trivially fixed the unstable nature by storing it forever :)13:43
gmblifeless, Right, I'm with you. Fair enough. When people say they "caused the situation" in bugs, I think back to some of the truly weird XXXs that I've removed over the years, most of which carried the name of one of two developers.13:44
lifelessgmb: then of course, I found the horror of the grouping code.13:44
gmbHeh.13:44

gmbHmm. No, not that I recall.13:45

gmbodony: Np.15:29
mptdanhg, hi, are you still looking for status/importance testers?15:45
odonygmb: it definitely looks like a duplicate of bug  808930 indeed... so you're saying a new scan will be initiated for any new commit, and there's a chance the scan will not timeout next time?15:47
ubot5Launchpad bug 808930 in Launchpad itself "Timeout running branch scanner job" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/80893015:47
gmbodony, Yes, that's correct. Although I don't know how _great_ the chance of the scan not timing out actually is.15:48
odonygmb, the bug seems to data back to july, but we're only starting to experience it this week AFAICT. Branch history size would be a determining factor here? Or is it too contingent to other unpredictable load during scanner job execution to tell?15:50
gmbodony, We think it's history size that's the problem, but we're not 100% certain yet. It's definitely a death-by-SQL issue, though.15:51
gmbodony, AIUI, Launchpad still does something that bzr stopped doing years ago, which is storing the entire history rather than storing tip and walking the graph to get previous revisions.15:51
odonygmb: aww, that sounds like a tricky thing to fix :-/15:53
