bigjoolsthumper: huh staging is nonvirtual00:00
bigjoolsthumper: are you building on arm?00:02
wgrantthumper: Because debug symbols make packages massively larger.00:02
wgrantthumper: debhelper strips them by default.00:03
wgrantIt's nothing to do with PPAs.00:03
thumperbigjools: maybe...00:03
thumperhmm...00:03
thumperok...00:03
bigjoolswgrant: what's the situation with setting restricted archs on nonvirt now?00:03
thumperlet me tell you what we want00:03
wgrantNow, the Ubuntu primary archive (and optionally PPAs, although the feature is not completely implemented), can override dh_strip to create ddebs instead of throwing the symbols away.00:03
thumperand you can tell me how to get it?00:03
thumperwe have jenkins running some tests for us00:04
thumperand when they fail, we want decent stack traces00:04
wgrantSounds like you want ddebs00:04
thumperthat is the issue00:04
thumperwgrant: what do I need to tell didrocks?00:05
thumperbecause I'm not doin it00:05
wgrantYou need to tell bigjools to click a checkbox.00:05
bigjoolswgrant: what's the situation with setting restricted archs on nonvirt now?00:05
wgrantLinaro's been using this functioanliaty for a while, but I don't think anyone else is.00:05
wgrantbigjools: I think it works. But I'm checking the code.00:06
wgrant(I'm not really here today)00:06
bigjoolsthey have arm selected but are nonvirt - the form won't save00:06
thumperwgrant: it's a holiday in SA too00:06
wgrantbigjools: Ah, yes... you need to check both arms00:06
bigjoolsso if the code ignores restrictions if arch = nonvirt then we're ok00:06
thumperwgrant: who in AU is working?00:06
bigjoolsotherwise we're fucked00:06
bigjoolss/arch/virtuality/00:06
wgrantbigjools: Is powerpc restricted now too?00:07
bigjoolsNFI00:07
bigjoolsnot worked on this for 2 months00:07
bigjoolsI saved the "ppa" admin page but removed the arm boxes - dunno if I just hosed them00:07
wgrantbigjools: If they need ARM, they need to be checked.00:08
bigjoolswgrant: even for nonvirt?00:08
wgrantYes.00:08
wgrantExcept for primary non-virt.00:08
bigjoolswgrant: then the form is fucked00:08
wgrantYes00:08
wgrantThere are bugs00:08
bigjoolsfuck sake00:09
wgrantWe've known this for ages.00:09
wgrantCheck all the archs00:09
wgrantSoyuz loves pointless special cases.00:09
bigjoolsgah00:09
bigjoolsthat's obtuse00:09
wgrantWhat is?00:09
bigjoolsthe bug00:09
wgrantYes.00:09
bigjoolsthumper: ok you'll get debug syms now00:09
thumperw00t00:09
thumperta00:09
bigjoolsand powerpc builds.... :/00:10
thumperbecause we want that eh?00:10
wgrantbigjools: Heh, enableRestrictedFamily is exposed on the API, but disable is not00:11
wgrantSo we can't reverse the powerpc enablement.00:11
StevenKHaha00:11
wgrantthumper: You'll need to alter jenkins to install foo-dbgsym as well as foo00:11
thumperwgrant: ok, noted00:11
wgrantthumper: This feature is not extremely well tested, so there may be some oddness. Poke me if anything seems amiss.00:12
thumperwill do00:12
thumperI'm sure it'll be fine00:13
thumperheh00:13

Wellarkhi! how does one change the owner of the project? We have a sparetime project and the current owner said he was unable to find a way to change the ownership of that project. What resource should I point him at?11:19
Wellarkhmm.. probably this one https://help.launchpad.net/Projects/Registering#Roles_within_projects11:21
maxbWellark: The current owner/maintainer of a project sees a yellow pencil "edit" icon next to their name on the front page of the project11:25
Wellarkmaxb: and same goes for team maintainer?11:31
Wellarks/maintainer/owner/11:31
maxbyes11:48
Wellarkok, thanks! I hope he manages to get it done.11:51
Wellarkotherwise I have to come up with step by step slide show for him ;)11:51
Wellarkmaxb: there is no yellow pencil. http://imagebin.org/20301512:08
Wellarkmaxb: that's a screenshot from the current Maintainers computer12:10
czajkowskiWellark: file a question with that needs to be done. https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad-project/+addquestion12:14
Wellarkczajkowski: OK, I'll do that12:15
wgrantWellark: Try https://launchpad.net/libhdl/+edit-people12:15
wgrantWellark: It looks like the pencil doesn't show up in Internet Explorer.12:15
czajkowskiwgrant: not showing up here on chrome either12:16
czajkowskiI tried to see if I could change it12:16
wgrantczajkowski: That's because you don't have permissions :)12:16
czajkowskiwgrant: I never have permissions :(12:16
wgrantWe can't steal random projects without admins, for good reason :)12:16
czajkowskiwgrant: aren't you meant to be off, not that I'm not happy to see you12:19
czajkowskiwgrant: why do loggerhead Questions come under lp ?12:19
Wellarkwgrant: I asked the current owner to try another browser12:21
Wellarkif there is a problem with IE, that's a bug, right? :)12:22
StevenKczajkowski: Because we also maintain it.12:22
StevenKLoggerhead is a part of the Launchpad Suite12:23
Wellarkczajkowski: I added the question anyway. https://answers.launchpad.net/lp-dev-utils/+question/19041812:23
czajkowskiWellark: we support chrome and FF as the browsers12:25
czajkowskiWellark: can you try FF or chrome please.12:25
* StevenK moves it from lp-dev-utils to launchpad12:25
Wellarkczajkowski: I'm on the phone with the owner and he is trying with FF12:27
Wellarkczajkowski: if IE is not supported and it has these kind of known problems could LP show a banner or something like with private projects stating that "IE not supported, things _do_ break." ?12:33
Wellarkczajkowski: ok, I just got a word that it was because of IE12:33
Wellarkwith FF it worked12:33
Wellarkthat's a worst kind of bug there is, because the site seems to work OK, but some crucial information and functionality is missing without no apparent reason.12:34
Wellarkdon't get me wrong, I have no problems that IE is not supported12:34
Wellarkbut the fact is that many people do use it and currently there is no red flag telling them it's broken12:35
Wellarkczajkowski: so the question is: should I file a bug?12:36
czajkowskiWellark: nope no need thanks12:37
Wellarkand thank you for resolving this! :)12:37
czajkowskiwe have a page which I'm trying to find which states what browsers we support12:37
czajkowskiI'll also mark your question as resolved.12:37
Wellarkat least I now know to tell people not to use IE with LP in the future12:38
hakermaniaHello! What if I upload a ppa, and then I want to upload a new version of the same ppa (which apparently has different code)? I get error that orig.tar.gz already exists :/12:53
czajkowskihakermania: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+faq/99012:55
hakermaniaczalkowski, let's say that current version is 3.0-0ubuntu3, if I update the version to 3.0-0ubuntu4, the same orig.tar.gz file will be generated...13:13
hakermaniaczajkowski, !13:13
gesershouldn't happen, check the sha1sum of both .orig.tar.gz13:14
hakermaniageser, by the 'same file' I mean with the same filename13:15
hakermaniaas a result, it'll say that file already exists.13:16
geserhakermania: that shouldn't be the problem, if both .orig.tar.gz (the new one and the one LP knows already about) are identical (same sha1sum)13:21
geseras you have a .orig.tar.gz, you should also have a .debian.tar.gz with the packageing and that should differ between those 2 versions13:22
hakermaniageser, thanks for the answer. I have a question because I think I must clear some things. The orig.tar.gz file must not change in any occasion. Right? Then, if I do a change in the code and I want to upload the new version,, let's say 3.0-0ubuntu4, then what should I do?13:24
hakermaniadebuild -S and then dput ppa-name *.changes?13:24
hakermaniaApparently something that will not change the orig.tar.gz file but will let launchpad now about the new changed of the code that are added in the new version13:25
hakermaniachanges*13:25
geserhakermania: your changes should get recorded in debian.tar.gz (or .diff.gz if you're still using v1 packages)13:27
geseryou have .changes, .dsc, .debian.tar.gz and .orig.tar.gz for your upload, right?13:29
hakermaniaright13:31
hakermaniageser, !13:33
geserthen figure out why your .orig.tar.gz changed between 3.0-0ubuntu3 and 3.0-0ubuntu413:34
hakermaniageser, that's what I don't get, if it doesn't change, then how will the code changes be included? (i am missing something apparent here)13:38
IronPatriotNYQuick question, for an external site, if they would like to have their user system authenticate using openID, should I still use Launchpad for that? Or Ubuntu SSO?13:38
hakermaniaIronPartiotNY, why don't you test both of them and see what does it work?13:42
hakermaniaI think lp would be fine13:42
geserhakermania: they get stored in the .debian.tar.gz (as patches or files for debian/*)13:47
IronPatriotNYhakermania, I guess I will. Do you happen to know if, besides username, email, and teams, if Launchpad can return anything else?13:50
hakermaniaIronPatriotNY, define 'return'13:50
hakermaniageser, seriously? And I debuild using -S only?13:50
IronPatriotNYhakermania,  Well I read with the drupal-teams module that was created for use with launchpad, the Launchpad teams a user is associated with will be available to the client site, to do with it as they please13:51
IronPatriotNYWas wondering if Launchpad provides any other info.13:52
hakermaniaI have no idea :(13:52
IronPatriotNYlol okay thanks13:53
geserhakermania: yes, just debuild -S13:55
hakermaniageser, so the steps are: 1) download the orig.tar.gz from the lp and I replace it with the 'changed' orig.tar.gz, then I debuild -S and then I dput?13:57
hakermaniaForgot to add 2) and 3) :P13:57
dobeyIronPatriotNY: you should probably use login.ubuntu.com13:57
geserhakermania: yes (you can use sha1sum on it to check if it changed or not)13:58
IronPatriotNYdobey, why do you say that?14:05
dobeyIronPatriotNY: because it's the official way to do that. and doesn't require users to also have a launchpad account14:07
IronPatriotNYdobey, would I still be able to access the Launchpad teams using that URL though?14:07
dobeyalso i think the goal is to eventually make launchpad not be an openid provider, but only a consumer14:07
dobeyIronPatriotNY: you can get team information via sso, yes.14:08
IronPatriotNYdobey, okay so I'll try that out then thanks14:08
IronPatriotNYdobey, that's what I was reading, but a lot of the docs aren't updated with newer info14:08
IronPatriotNYMost dev docs say to use Launchpad for an openid provide, not even mentioning Ubuntu SSO14:09
dobeywell i suspect a lot of docs might not be updated as well14:09
dobeywe use ubuntu sso for ubuntu one, and we use team information on lp for some things. so i know it's doable :)14:10
czajkowskiIronPatriotNY: mind not subscribing launchad to youtube channels. am getting mails to feedback address please.14:10
IronPatriotNYczajkowski, ?14:11
hakermaniageser, it doesn't work :( debuild -S says: local changes detected, the modified files are: wallch-3.0/mainwindow.cpp and exits with error... Should I make the patches myself or something?14:15
czajkowskiIronPatriotNY: if this is not you aplogies. http://www.youtube.com/user/IronPatriotNY14:15
IronPatriotNYczajkowski, yes that is me. I don't understand what I did wrong though.14:17
czajkowskiit's subscring lp to youtbe and I'm getting the email14:17
geserhakermania: which package format are you using? might be that you need to make the patch yourself (not sure when dpkg started doing it itself for 3.0 (quilt) packages)14:19
hakermaniaI use quilt14:19
IronPatriotNYczajkowski,  I subscribed to the launchpad channel on YouTube like I subscribe to everything else.14:21
IronPatriotNYThe channel was already there, I didn't sign up for anything on LP's behalf.14:21

achiangthe help text has pretty broken grammar... :-/17:11
