till_I'm trying to add a dependency to my PPA13:56
till_but no matter what i do13:56
till_i get that i don't have permission to access the page13:56
till_is this a known issue?13:56
till_my role in the repo is 'administrator'13:56
till_i think i should be able to do this13:56
rick_h__hello till, can you link me the ppa you're setting up?14:01
rick_h__and what dependency you're trying to add?14:01
till_rick_h__: i'm in ~easybib/ppa14:14
dobeytill_: if you're talking about setting the dep on another PPA, i don't think that feature works how you think it might14:14
till_rick_h__: https://launchpad.net/~easybib/+archive/ppa/+edit-dependencies14:14
till_dobey: basically, i am trying to build a package which depends on another package in another launchpad ppa14:15
rick_h__till_: yea, you'll have to get that package into your own ppa14:15
till_http://cl.ly/0k202n0K1F2z0526152i < this is what i get14:15
till_so i have to import the build?14:15
rick_h__abentley: do you know if there's an easy way to port over a package from another ppa? Just download the src package and submit it to his own ppa?14:16
till_what's the deps for?14:16
dobeyrick_h__: lp has a "copy to ppa" link14:16
dobeyyou can just copy the already-built packages from one ppa to another14:16
dobeyon the +packages page for a ppa14:18
rick_h__ah cool14:18
rick_h__till_: ok, can you try that then? Go to the ppa for your dep, click the link "View package details" and then on the right the "copy package" link.14:19
rick_h__then copy the dep over into your ppa14:20

tjaaltonwhat happened to the ppa builders? the backlog seems unusually long (~17h)14:41
abentleytjaalton: Hardware Enablement may have taken them and not put them back.  I'll check.14:45
tjaaltonabentley: heh, ok, maybe i should know about it then ;)14:46
abentleytjaalton: yes, it does look like that14:48
tjaaltonabentley: ok, I'll ask around then14:48
tjaaltonthanks14:50
abentleytjaalton: np.  I can also pursue this through our normal channels if you'd like.14:51
tjaaltonabentley: thanks, I've sent a query myself, will see if I get a reply14:55
rick_h__abentley: where did you find the info on that for future reference?14:58
till_rick_h__: sorry, had a meeting15:03
till_rick_h__: ok, we'll give it a try15:03
till_thanks for helping :)15:03

cndderyck, I keep getting timeout errors when trying to propose a merge18:04
cndwhat can I do?18:04
deryckcnd, hmmm, we're working on one mp timeout, but not aware of one with proposing merge.18:04
deryckcnd, can you paste me an OOPS number?18:04
cndOOPS-3e72b4c96ba820f6e01f025c836588e718:05
ubot5https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=3e72b4c96ba820f6e01f025c836588e718:05
cndderyck, I need to get this proposed asap, is there a work around?18:05
deryckcnd, I'm looking at the OOPS, I don't know yet, sorry.18:06
james_wcnd, are you trying to enter a specific branch to propose to?18:07
cndjames_w, yes, because it wasn't populated18:07
cndthough I see now that I have a typo :)18:07
james_wcnd, one workaround is to get someone who has that branch in their remembered list to propose the merge18:07
cndok, fixed the typo and it worked18:07
deryckah, interesting.18:08
cndthanks for the help :)18:09
derycknp!  glad it was easy to fix.18:09
jtaylorwhats wrong with this git import: https://code.launchpad.net/~registry/ipython/trunk18:41
jtaylorthe git repo has no submodules18:42
deryckjtaylor, looking for you.....18:43
jtaylorthx18:43
sinzuimay it did have submodules at one point18:43
jtaylorit worked a few days ago18:43
jtaylorno submodules where added since18:43
jtaylornor did it ever have any to my knowledge18:43
rick_hthere was an email reply about it18:44
rick_h"A single submodule-related commit (ultimately a no-op) seems to exist, which can't be imported into18:44
rick_h+the current version of bzr.  There are not in fact any submodules in the repository before or after18:44
rick_h+this commit."18:44
deryckjtaylor, yeah, what rick_h says ^^.  was just about to paste the whiteboard, too.18:44
rick_hI wonder if you could rebase away the offending commit if it's been identified18:45
rick_hsince it's just a noop anyway, won't be missed18:45
jtaylorhow does such a commit look like? and can one fix it without rebasing?18:46
yshavitI'm getting timeouts when I try to propose a branch, but the rest of lp seems to be working fine. Is anyone else experiencing problems?18:52
yshavithm, works now. I kept just hitting back on the browser and then retrying, that didn't work. But refresh-and-retry worked. I guess there was some token in the page that the server didn't like.18:58

abentleyderyck: I relieve you19:00
deryckabentley, thank you, good sir.19:00
jtaylorany suggestions what to do? I still can't find any commit that adds a submodule19:06
jtaylorit would add a .gitmodules or?19:06
rick_hjtaylor: looking. I don't see a commit either, but know it's between the 12th/13th. So I was just going to try a git bisect across there and see if I can get git submodule summary to give any info19:06
rick_hor maybe git submodule status would be better to show if anything is there19:07
jtaylorbisect brings up nothing on the master branch, and all other branches are much older19:14
rick_hjtaylor: yea, I've not used submodules outside of one try so not really familiar with how they show in the log/history19:15
rick_hjtaylor: do you know the https://launchpad.net/~minrk person that found the submodule commit?19:16
rick_hwonder if he/she'd share the how to on the info19:16
jtaylorI know him, he found a commit?19:17
rick_hhttps://code.launchpad.net/~registry/ipython/trunk if you look at the whiteboard section that comment seemed to come from him19:17
jtaylorthats a comment? I'll ask him about it19:18
rick_hjtaylor: well it's whiteboard space, but it was updated today based on the failed import19:18
jtaylorhm ok so there is a submodule, how do we now fix the situation? rebasing is not really a good option19:19
rick_hjtaylor: yea, not sure on that point. abentley any idea?19:20
abentleyrick_h: A branch that has a submodule anywhere in its history is not compatible with our importer.  You might be able to import it using bzr-fastimport.19:22
jelmerjtaylor: hi, I think I had email contact with you earlier after you changed the whiteboard of the ipython code import?19:28
jtaylorjelmer: that was probably minrk, I was not aware he contacted you already19:29
jtaylorsorry for duplicating efforts19:29
jelmerah, yes19:29
jtaylordid you come up with a way to fix it?19:32
jelmerjtaylor: the only real way to fix it is to either do a manual import using bzr-fastimport, or to edit the history to remove the submodules from ipython19:34
cndderyck, sorry to bother you again, but do you know if there's a way to bump the priority of a ppa?19:39
deryckcnd, there is a way.  you ask here basically.  I don't recall guidelines for how/when we allow it....  let me check.19:40
cndwe have a chain of dependencies, and 10 hour waits on each dependency wait build will draw a couple days of build time out to a week19:40
cndok19:40
jtaylorI also have another question, I'm trying to set up an ipython ppa (thus the need for the import), this is the recipe: http://paste.ubuntu.com/807720/19:46
jtaylorwhen I build that with bzr dailydeb ipython.recipe wc, I get  ERROR: Unable to find the upstream source. Import it as tag upstream-0.12+2227+319:46
jtaylorI'm not sure whats wrong19:47
SteeleNivensonI have a question about the "Edit PPA dependencies" configuration option. It doesn't work as I expect it to. The "Add PPA dependency:" option tells me that I don't have the permission to do so, yet I'm the administrator of the project I wish to add a dependency to.19:47
jelmerjtaylor: your package is non-native, but you aren't providing a separate upstream source19:48
jelmerjtaylor: you probably want to change the debian source format to "3.0 (native)"19:48
jtaylorthe upstream source should be lp:ipython19:48
jtaylorjelmer: daily builds need to be native?19:48
jelmerjtaylor: they need to be native unless you provide the upstream source (by tagging it)19:50
jtaylorjelmer: tags in a daily build? the source changes every commit19:50
jelmerjtaylor: right, and non-native builds don't make much sense because the upstrema source changes every commit19:51
jtaylorok I'll make it native then19:51
jtaylorI was confused because I'm using a different daily build ppa that is non-native and so far I know is also not tagged19:52
jtaylorthx19:52
jelmerjtaylor: launchpad will automatically convert packages to native if it can't find the upstream tag19:53
jelmerjtaylor: (the equivalent of passing --allow-fallback-to-native to 'bzr dailydeb')19:53
kirklandppa builders are way backed up :/19:59
jtaylorjelmer: ok I'm confused, this is non-native https://launchpad.net/~meebey/+archive/smuxi-daily20:06
jtaylorjelmer: but the branch it builds from has no per commit tags20:06
abentleykirkland: Hardware Enablement had taken away some builders.  They're back now, but it will take a while for the queue to burn down.20:06
sinzuikirkland, they are. Is this an issue for your commercial team/project?20:07
kirklandabentley: ah, okay20:07
* kirkland was guilty of that once or twice20:07
kirklandsinzui: not at this moment today, but it's something we've been tracking;  we've got it on our whiteboard as a risk of doing business with LP/PPAs20:08
kirklandsinzui: it was an issue once last week, which was the first time it came up20:08
sinzuikirkland, We can increase the scoring for your commercial ppas20:08
kirklandsinzui: most of LP was offline or in budapest20:08
jelmerjtaylor: if you look at the resulting tarball, you'll see it's native too20:08
kirklandsinzui: that would be nice20:08
jelmerjtaylor: https://launchpad.net/~meebey/+archive/smuxi-daily/+files/smuxi_0.8.9.1%2Bgit-0~79~precise1.tar.gz has debian/source/format with contents "3.0 (native)"20:09
jtaylorjelmer: ah ok so its ok to have "debian revisions" in native packages20:09
jtaylorI though the -X already determines native, thx20:09

Adri2000is it possible to copy/sync a package from debian into a ppa? (just as it's possible to sync from debian to ubuntu repositories)22:24
Adri2000or am I supposed to generate+sign a .changes and dput it manually in any case?22:25
Adri2000ok, syncpackage --no-lp seems to be the best solution22:43
micahgAdri2000: no, you'll want backport package for a PPA22:47
micahgoops, that should be backportpackage22:47
Adri2000how is it different from syncpackage --no-lp?22:52
sorenAdri2000: It works. I just did it via the API.22:55
micahgAdri2000: one can accidentally make it into precise, the other can't :), also, backportpackage will add a changelog entry on top to lower the version so that it would be superseded by an archive upload22:56
sorenAdri2000: No copying binaries, though. Launchpad doesn't have a copy of those frmo Debian.22:58
Adri2000soren: via the API, how exactly? are there tools able to do such things using the API? because I don't know how to use the LP API directly :)23:02
sorenAdri2000: hang on, on the phone.23:03
sorenAdri2000: I've written tools to do this, but they don't yet support Debian. I hadn't though of it until just now when you mentioned it :)23:04
sorenStill on the phone...23:04
Adri2000actually I've the same question for syncing from ubuntu to ppa. my use case for all of this is that I've set a PPA in order to test the impact of a lib transition, so I need to rebuild a number of packages in that PPA, which either that are already in ubuntu, or only in debian23:07
Adri2000s/that are/are/23:08
sorenThe ubuntu to PPA use case I've solved.23:09
sorenlp:~soren/ubuntu-archive-tools/ppa-mgmt23:09
sorenThe copy-ppa-pkg.py script in there lets you do it.23:09
sorene.g.23:09

Adri2000great, that should help me a bit23:14
sorenLet me just add a todo here...23:15
sorenAdri2000: Sorry, I really need to get to bed. I'll add Debian support to that script tomorrow. Shouldn't be too hard.23:19
sorenAdri2000: I've got it already working locally, but I short-circuited a couple of things, so Ubuntu support is broken now :)23:19
sorenAdri2000: 15 minute task, tops.23:20
