[12:13] <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-autoreconf
[12:13] <ajf_> https://launchpadlibrarian.net/87494954/buildlog.txt.gz
[12:14] <ajf_> this is a lynx build
[12:18] <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?
[12:20] <czajkowski> ajf_: morning
[12:22] <ajf_> oh, hello, you've caught me using ubuntu :oD

[12:46] <odony> gmb: 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] <gmb> odony, 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] <ubot5> Launchpad bug 808930 in Launchpad itself "Timeout running branch scanner job" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/808930
[12:47] <gmb> odony, 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.
[12:48] <gmb> odony, I'll make a note on 904683 that it could be linked to 808930

[13:21] <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.
[13:23] <gmb> geser, By creation time; the numbers are added afterwards.
[13:23] <geser> ajf_: 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 PPA
[13:25] <geser> gmb: 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)

[13:26] <gmb> geser, Without digging into the mail processing code I'd guess it's the time that they're processed that's used.
[13:27] <czajkowski> gmb: ahh didn't know that was just looking for someone to help wiht ajf_ comment from 12:13
[13:28] <gmb> czajkowski, 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] <czajkowski> aye bigjools was my next ping
[13:28] <czajkowski> :)
[13:30] <geser> gmb: 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)
[13:31] <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] <geser> the activity log shows that they got added after that comment, yet sort before it
[13:31] <lifeless> the sort is by date
[13:31] <lifeless> we trust the send date on received email
[13:32] <lifeless> the comment numbers are allocated sequentially and represent the order received
[13:37] <gmb> One of these days I'm going to write a bzr plugin for grepping lifeless's memory.

[13:38] <bigjools> how can he help ye czajkowski?
[13:38] <bigjools> errm "I" help
[13:38] <czajkowski> bigjools: ajf_ had a comment at 12:12
[13:39] <bigjools> I have a vague recollection of debhelper being in backports
[13:40] <bigjools> you need to go into the "edit dependencies" on the PPA page
[13:40] <bigjools> you can change where it pulls deps from Ubuntu
[13:40] <bigjools> it's normally only -updates and -security
[13:41] <bigjools> or you can copy the relevant package into the PPA if you don't want crackports
[13:42] <lifeless> gmb: this one I know due to causing the situation
[13:42] <gmb> Ah.
[13:42] <lifeless> gmb: when I fixed 'comment numbers are unstable when mails dated in the past are received'
[13:42] <lifeless> gmb: -and-
[13:43] <lifeless> gmb: when I fixed 'to render comment 1450 on bug 1, we load and lazy evaluate all 1500 comments'

[13:43] <lifeless> gmb: 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 :)
[13:44] <gmb> lifeless, 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] <lifeless> gmb: then of course, I found the horror of the grouping code.
[13:44] <gmb> Heh.
[13:44] <gmb> Yes, well.
[13:44] <gmb> The least said, the better...
[13:44] <lifeless> It would be nice to shove that into the db as a directly queryable collection too
[13:44] <gmb> Agreed.
[13:44] <lifeless> which rmeinds me
[13:45] <lifeless> gmb: did you see the two bugs with jaxa comment loading?
[13:45] <gmb> Hmm. No, not that I recall.
[13:51] <ajf_> bigjools: thank you :) I'll try copying dh-autoreconf, adding a dependency on backports to the PPA seems a bit overkill for one little build time dependency.
[13:51] <lifeless> gmb: ~2 weeks back, am looking

[14:04] <gmb> lifeless, Note the date on that lovely upstream-tools bug, too

[14:28] <mthaddon> (like some scripts or such)

[15:45] <mpt> danhg, hi, are you still looking for status/importance testers?
[15:47] <odony> gmb: 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] <ubot5> Launchpad bug 808930 in Launchpad itself "Timeout running branch scanner job" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/808930
[15:48] <gmb> odony, Yes, that's correct. Although I don't know how _great_ the chance of the scan not timing out actually is.
[15:50] <odony> gmb, 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?
[15:51] <gmb> odony, 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] <gmb> odony, 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.
[15:53] <odony> gmb: aww, that sounds like a tricky thing to fix :-/

[22:57] <lifeless> this is for auditability

[22:57] <jterrace> well we have patches we have to apply to some of the dependencies
[22:57] <dobey> package them as well in your ppa, and add them to Build-Depends
[22:58] <jterrace> ok
[22:58] <jterrace> will just require a lot of refactoring of our build system
