[08:42] <ScottK> We're moving the py3dns development effort from sourceforge to Launchpad.  I need one branch out of the CVS (yes, CVS) repo there.  Could someone give me a hand with getting the py3dns-branch in  http://sourceforge.net/projects/pydns/ imported as trunk for https://launchpad.net/py3dns/ ?
[08:45] <wgrant> ScottK: Register an import at https://code.launchpad.net/py3dns/+new-import. Once that's done you can branch from that and push it back up to lp:py3dns to make it trunk.
[13:10] <ScottK> wgrant: Thanks.
[14:23] <ScottK> Import failed: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/103546860/kitterman-py3dns-trunk.log - Suggestions
[14:23] <ScottK> It looks like it was hanging on the key verification question.
[18:18] <pikkachu> hi, can anyone delete some wrong packages in my PPA please?
[18:41] <micahg> pikkachu: you can do that, there's a delete packages button
[18:42] <pikkachu> that's not deletion, that's setting a label
[18:43] <micahg> pikkachu: no, it'll delete after a certain amount of time (usually ~24 hours)
[18:47] <pikkachu> then something is wrong, see yourself https://launchpad.net/~renatosilva/+archive/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=&field.status_filter=&field.series_filter=
[19:03] <micahg> pikkachu: that's fine, it's actually deleted, http://ppa.launchpad.net/renatosilva/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/p/pidgin/
[19:28] <rick_h_> 045716
[19:29] <czajkowski> rick_h_: ello
[19:29] <pikkachu> micahg: wat??? I just downloaded one
[19:42] <rick_h_> czajkowski: bah, ignore my bumping my 2-factor device
[19:43] <micahg> pikkachu: as long as it's not published, it shouldn't matter
[19:45] <pikkachu> micahg: but it does matter to me
[19:46] <micahg> pikkachu: what are you trying to accomplish?
[19:46] <pikkachu> how about "it's actually deleted"???
[19:47] <micahg> pikkachu: doesn't normally happen with launchpad, the binaries are deleted and the build records kept
[19:47] <micahg> what's the problem?
[19:50] <micahg> pikkachu: i.e. what problem are you trying to solve by deleting?
[19:53] <pikkachu> the problem was already stated
[19:53] <pikkachu> ah, well there's no reason to do that except than the obious
[19:54] <dobey> to remove the packages that were built for now EOLed versions of Ubuntu?
[19:54] <pikkachu> I want to delete stuff, not put a stick note on it saying "deleted", I thought it was easy to see how ridiculous it was
[19:54] <micahg> no, I don't see a problem, why do the build records need to be deleted
[19:54] <dobey> or which have a newer version in Ubuntu itself?
[19:55] <pikkachu> besides, the old packages are all wrong, useless, stupid
[19:55] <dobey> pikkachu: i have no idea what your problem is exactly. all i can see is that you are complaining about some behavior of launchpad which is basically irrelevant
[19:55] <pikkachu> dobey: are you talking to me?
[19:55] <pikkachu> ah
[19:57] <pikkachu> are superseded and deleted packages both unavailable for version specific installation? if not, then installation is also a problem
[19:57] <dobey> pikkachu: if you uploaded broken packages, then you need to upload packages which aren't broken, to supersede the broken ones
[19:57] <pikkachu> you're both very funny
[19:57] <pikkachu> you like to talk a lot
[19:57] <pikkachu> how about "are superseded and deleted packages both unavailable for version specific installation?"
[19:57] <dobey> i don't see how making personal attacks against micahg or myself will help you
[19:58] <pikkachu> is it an attack? funny
[19:58] <pikkachu> how about "are superseded and deleted packages both unavailable for version specific installation?"
[19:58] <dobey> you don't need to keep repeating the same thing over and over
[19:58] <micahg> pikkachu: superseded and deleted packages should not be available for install after they show as deleted from disk
[19:58] <pikkachu> dobey: if you didn't skip it, you mean :P
[19:58] <dobey> IRC is not synchronous.
[19:58] <pikkachu> micahg: ok but...
[19:59] <pikkachu> micahg: superseded is a separate status from deleted, does it apply for them too?
[19:59] <micahg> pikkachu: yes
[19:59] <ScottK> wgrant: That imported the trunk from sourceforge.  I needed the py3dns-branch.
[19:59] <pikkachu> micahg: ok thanks
[19:59] <pikkachu> micahg: if no one can install superseded or deleted versions anymore, then it's better
[20:00] <micahg> that's the general idea, if it's possible, it's a bug (install from apt I mean)
[20:01] <pikkachu> ok
[20:03] <pikkachu> but I will ask again in the future :P (it's not the application which is broken but the packaging, side-effects while learning how to use the PPA and deb patching)
[20:03] <pikkachu> thanks all so far
[20:04] <ScottK> wgrant: I can't see how I can set the branch.
[21:02] <maxb> ScottK: I'm fairly sure support for importing non-head CVS branches was never implemented :-/
[21:03] <maxb> ScottK: However, for a one-time conversion, what about using a non-Launchpad conversion tool, and then just pushing the result?
[21:05] <maxb> Been a while since I used it, but I had cvs2svn's cvs2bzr mode working pretty nicely before the project I wanted it for got cvs2svn'ed instead
[21:18] <maxb> ScottK: See if this conversion is OK for you: https://code.launchpad.net/~maxb/py3dns/
[21:38] <lifeless> maxb: non-head CVS was implemented
[21:38] <lifeless> maxb: in cscvs, I'm not sure we got the LP glue done though
[21:38] <lifeless> maxb: (Not that that helps much, if at all)
