vivekimsitHi,,06:06
vivekimsitI have currently only on development series named trunk! how can I associate a milestone to that series?06:07
wgrantvivekimsit: If you open up the main page for the series (eg. by clicking on it on the graph on the project front page), you'll see a "Create milestone" link about half-way down.06:09
vivekimsitwgrant:oK! thanks, just one more question , what is the basic diff b/w a milestone and a series.06:15
vivekimsitMy aim is to have different version of the project!06:16
wgrantvivekimsit: https://help.launchpad.net/Projects/SeriesMilestonesReleases might be helpful. See the graph on https://launchpad.net/bzr for an example of how some projects use them in practice.06:18
vivekimsitHii, I am new to launchpad so I want some help, I have this requirement , suppose I pushed my branch('X' changes) to the launchpad and created a trunk series, now I want that I have committed some code so that my branch have 'X+Y' changes but I want that I future I should be able to see all the changes and download any of them (Like if I want my older code i.e. the one with 'X' changes then I should be able to download that part of code only)06:42

CaribouI have a question regarding PPA uploads10:09
czajkowskiCaribou: ello10:09
Caribouhowdy czajkowski10:09
czajkowskiCaribou: whats up10:09
CaribouI'm trying to upload a new version of my PPA which has the same *-orig.tar.gz file that a previous package that I deleted10:10
CaribouLP refuses to upload saying "File *.orig.tar.gz already exists in PPA, but uploaded version has different contents..."10:11
Cariboubut there's nothing in the PPA anymore10:11
czajkowskihmm10:11
Caribouczajkowski: let me rebuild my source pkg first..10:11
Sweetsharkwgrant: thanks10:12
wgrantCaribou: You can't upload the same filename with different contents.10:12
wgrantIt confuses things.10:12
wgrantYou need to change the tarball version.10:12
wgrantHow did the orig tarball change? That is a contradiction.10:12
czajkowskiwgrant: is this the right page https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/UploadErrors#Already_uploaded_to_.3Chost.3E_on_ppa.launchpad.net10:13
czajkowskitrying to find the right ppa pages that give help10:13
Caribouczajkowski: yep, found that page yesterday10:13
Caribouwgrant: the tarball changed because I made a mistake when I created it10:14
Cariboubut why LP would keep traces of deleted packages ?10:14
wgrantCaribou, czajkowski: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+faq/99010:15
wgrantCaribou: It makes the working with the build farm and apt a lot more complicated if files can change.10:15
wgrantAnd it's never required in normal circumstances.10:16
wgrantAnd it's easy to work around.10:16
Caribouwgrant: you mean that if I make a blunder while uploading a pkg, I need to renumber & create bumps in my numbering scheme to please LP?10:17
wgrantCaribou: Same as most Debian repository management tools, yes.10:17
CaribouI can learn to live with that (I knew about the renumbering, just didn't know it would survive package removal)10:18
CaribouI'll just test in a staging PPA before moving to our "public PPA"10:18
wgrantHow're you building the source tarball in a way that it can change?10:19
Cariboumy tarball is numbered 2.30 which represent the actual software rev number10:20
Caribouwhen I do changes to the packaging (like changing from "Depends" to "Recommends" in this situation), I change a sub-revision number10:20
Caribouin this case, my pkg went from 2.30-6 to 2.30-7 (-6 & -7 representing pkg versioning of some sort)10:21
Cariboubut since the actual content of the package did not change, I did not see the need to "up" the 2.30 rev number10:22
Cariboumaybe I'm not doing it the proper way10:22
wgrantCaribou: Generally you build the orig.tar.gz for a particular version once, when you release the software, before you even go near packaging.10:23
wgrantCaribou: The packaging changes are kept in a .diff.gz or .debian.tar.gz that's built by dpkg-buildpackage10:24
Caribouah, I think I get it.10:25
Caribou(well I knew that, I just figured out the specifics of our project)10:25
Caribouthe "packaging specific stuff" is also kept in our bzr tree, so I included the whole thing (i.e. sw + ./debian/*) in the orig.tar;gz10:26
CaribouI suppose that I should split the "real s/w" stuff in the .orig.tar.gz, then add the ./debian specific after building the/610:27
Caribouorig.tar.gz10:27
Cariboubut this wouldn't change the fact that if I made a mistake in packaging after uploading to the PPA, I would still need to change the orig.tar.gz rev number10:28
wgrantCaribou: Generally the upstream tarball doesn't including the packaging.10:29
wgrantCaribou: So packaging changes don't affect the orig.tar.gz version number.10:29
Caribouwgrant: then its content would not change even if packaging stuff do, so its timestamp would remain consistent & LP PPA upload would be happy, right ?10:30
wgrantCaribou: It's the content rather than timestamp that matters, but yes.10:31
Caribouwgrant: ok then. I'll rework my packaging so both get split to avoid this in the future10:32
wgrantSounds good.10:32
Caribouwgrant: thanks for your time & clear explanations10:32
wgrantnp, hope it works out!10:32
* Caribou is a noob at full fledged packaging10:32
Caribouwgrant: if it doesn't, I'll run back here ;)10:33
jokerdinohey guys, is the ftp down or something?11:40
wgrantjokerdino: Seems to be working fine. What's the issue?11:42
jokerdinoConnection failed, aborting. Check your network11:43
jokerdinowhen i try to dput into my PPA, it fails, eventually11:44
jokerdinomay be the network firewall?11:44
wgrantIt's working fine from here.11:44
wgrantI suspect you have an uncooperative firewall, yeah.11:44
jokerdinoit was working fine just last week, urgh11:45
jokerdinoi dont know what to do :/11:45
jokerdinoanyway, thanks for the help11:46
jokerdinoand well, one other thing11:48

roignac_hi guys, I've got a question on merge request11:52
roignac_Is there a way to avoid 'redirecting' of branches11:52
roignac_I do the following:11:52
roignac_1) bzr branch lp:~ubuntu-desktop/nautilus/ubuntu11:52
roignac_2) push it to my branch11:52
roignac_3) propose a merge11:53
roignac_here 'lp:ubuntu/nautilus' is suggested11:53
roignac_even if I specify Other - lp:~ubuntu-desktop/nautilus/ubuntu11:53
roignac_the merge request is posted for lp:ubuntu/nautlus11:53
roignac_Is there a way t avoid this redirection?11:53
wgrantroignac_: It sounds like you're pushing it to the wrong place.11:54
wgrantlp:ubuntu/nautilus is a branch in Ubuntu, while lp:~ubuntu-desktop/nautilus/ubuntu is a branch in upstream Nautilus11:54
wgrantYou can't have a merge proposal between projects.11:54
roignac_I did 'bzr push lp:~roignac/ubuntu/precise/nautilus/bug_32542_save_search_as_button'11:55
wgrantRight, that's an Ubuntu branch.11:55
wgrantYou're trying to propose to a non-Ubuntu branch.11:55
wgrantWhich isn't allowed.11:55
wgrantyou probably want to push to lp:~roignac/nautilus/bug_32542_save_search_as_button11:55
roignac_oh, I see. So there is no way for non-Ubuntu Desktop member  to create such branch?11:55
roignac_I've pushed to lp:~roignac/nautilus/bug_32542_save_search_as_button - proposal to merge is created for lp:nautilus11:56
wgrantroignac_: You selected Other and entered lp:~ubuntu-desktop/nautilus/ubuntu?11:57
wgrantIt will default to lp:nautilus, but you can select another branch.11:57
roignac_yes, though I'll try again11:57
roignac_yay, this worked! Thanks a bunch, wgrant!11:58
wgrantroignac_: The way ubuntu-desktop uses the nautilus project is a little odd.11:59
wgrantThat's a packaging branch, so it should really be under ubuntu.11:59
roignac_yeah, I posted about 10 different requests in an hour =/11:59

sledgesis there an equivalent of a git commit hash in launchpad, so that e.g. linaro kernel binaries would contain a string somewhere in a binary pointing to an exact state of the source it was compiled from?17:11

rmkCould I get an LP admin to look at one of my private PPAs?  The tech details box is not showing credentials.23:45
wgrantrmk: Users should generally get private PPA credentials through https://launchpad.net/~/+archivesubscriptions, not through the PPA page.23:54
wgrantrmk: But once they've been accessed from +archivesubscriptions they'll show up on the PPA page.23:55
rmkRight we have a subscription and one of our two private PPAs is not displaying credentials on the PPA page23:56
wgrantEach user needs to active their subscription through +archivesubscriptions before it will show up there.23:57
wgrantUsers aren't meant to use the PPA page of private PPAs.23:57

wgrantUntil relatively recently they couldn't see it at all.23:57
