hellekinhi there. Is the password reset functionality broken on launchpad.net?02:56
hellekincan someone tell me what email I used for https://launchpad.net/~hellekin ? I didn't use the site for so long, and I can't reset password. If it's a Gmail account, it does not exist anymore (but I would expect @cepheide.org)02:59
StevenKhellekin: Your expection is correct.03:07
StevenKexpectation, rather03:08
hellekinStevenK: then it seems there's an issue with email reset03:08
hellekinpassword reset (email not received)03:08
wgranthellekin: You'll see a support link at the bottom of the password reset page. Can you file a request there?03:18
hellekinwgrant: I read "If you have forgotten your Launchpad password or your password is rejected, you can request a reminder on the standard Launchpad login page."03:21
hellekinfollowing the link says "This page is meant to be called from an OpenID-enabled site and therefore has no user-facing functions."03:21
hellekinshould I report a bug for that? ;o)03:22
wgranthellekin: Looks like you need to select Other to actually get the support form.03:23
hellekinwgrant: form submitted03:26
wgranthellekin: Great.03:26
wgrant(login.launchpad.net is actually a different theme for login.ubuntu.com -- it's not managed by Launchpad staff, so you need to use the normal Ubuntu SSO support channels)03:27
hellekin( bleh. I'm using Debian :P )03:28
hellekinmy 70yo mother uses Ubuntu ;o)03:28
wgrantThat's why it's a different theme :)03:28
pipedreamHi, can someone increase the size of this PPA?04:02
pipedreamhttps://launchpad.net/~aims/+archive/sagemath/+packages04:02
pipedreamI want to upload a new upstream version04:02
pipedream(e.g can it be doubled? sagemath is a large package)04:02
wgrantpipedream: The quote has been doubled.04:03
micahgpipedream: if it's open source, why are you not building it in the PPA?04:04
pipedreamwgrant: thanks04:07
pipedreammicahg: the from-source is a hard problem04:08
wgrantpipedream: This looks a lot like a GPL violation.04:08
wgrantpipedream: Since you're distributing binaries without the corresponding source.04:08
pipedreamit contains 50 or 100 other free software packages, and builds cleanly because of tight version control04:08
pipedreamwgrant: the binary contains the whole source tree and mercurial history04:09
wgrantAh, handy.04:09
wgrantSo it's merely fairly evil, not actually illegal. :)04:09
pipedreammicahg: people are working on debianizing it, this is meant to bridge the gap in the meantime: easy installs and automatic updates04:09
pipedreamheh04:09
pipedreamI think it fills an important hole in sagemath adoption04:10
pipedreamI can't wait to not have to do this, btw04:10
wgrantIndeed, it looks like a reasonable solution for now.04:10
pipedreamI have started working on from-source, one component, maxima failed due to -Bsymbolic-something04:10
pipedreamthat was just the beginning.04:10
wgrantIt builds its own maxima? :/04:10
pipedreamthe PPA repackages the upstream built binary, and rolls out fairly easily04:10
wgrantmaxima's problematic to build reliably at the best of times :)04:11
pipedreamwgrant: all of these http://www.sagemath.org/download-packages.html04:11
pipedreamuhm no: http://www.sagemath.org/packages/standard/04:11
micahglooks like most of these are already packaged at least04:12
wgrantYeah04:12
pipedreamand the debianization (initially started by tim abbott of ksplice) got so outdated no one used it04:12
wgrantAnd at least a lot of them have fairly stable APIs.04:12
pipedreammicahg: the version dependencies are way way way tooi tight04:12
pipedreamhttps://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/debian-sage04:12
micahgpipedream: so loosen them :)04:12
pipedreammicahg: about 5 years worth of work04:12
pipedreamthe PPA took one month04:12
pipedream(and I learnt packaging from scratch in that month, alongside a full time job)04:13
pipedreamhttp://wiki.sagemath.org/devel/DebianSage04:14
pipedreampeople are working on it04:14
pipedream"started 2008"04:14
micahgpipedream: the first step I'd suggest is just to bundle all the sources you need and build them04:14
pipedreamthat wiki is dead now, the work has moved04:14
micahgthen you can at least build from source04:15
micahgthen you can work on using system versions04:15
pipedreammicahg: we can build from source already04:15
micahgpipedream: I mean in the PPA :)04:15
pipedreambuilding from source inside debuild is a while other baby. but that is what we are working on yes.04:16
pipedreamI doubt you suggest I STOP updating the PPA though04:16
pipedream/while/whole/04:16
micahgpipedream: no, not at all, but just suggesting a more common way of solving your problem04:17
pipedreamI also have rstudio-upstream-deb and casapy-upstream-binary :-P04:17
pipedreammicahg: thanks. We are working on it04:17
micahgpipedream: BTW, there's #ubuntu-packaging if you run into issues04:18
pipedreamsure, that is where I got my first help. I know tumbleweed from www.clug.org.za and he helped me a lot04:18
pipedreamthe PPA solves a *different* problem: urgency ;)04:19
pipedreamthe from-source will solve the main problem once and for all, but it takes time04:20
pipedreamhere is the latest on debianization, if anyone wants to help out: http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2012/05/msg00092.html04:21
pipedreamthat is pretty much where it resurfaced after a year or two dormant04:22
jesuslovesyou101Hey guys, I keep getting a page error when trying to upload a tar.gz to my project. But its only 172.8 MB05:44
jesuslovesyou101Ok....well thanks06:15
alkisgHi, is there any problem with branch mirroring? https://code.launchpad.net/~vagrantc/ltsp/ltsp-debian-packaging doesn't pull from http://anonscm.debian.org/loggerhead/pkg-ltsp/ltsp-debian-packaging/changes/ anymore...06:24
wgrantalkisg: It possibly doesn't like the redirect06:26
wgrantI'd reregister it with the new URL06:26
alkisgwgrant: thank you wgrant, I'll notify the branch maintainer...06:26
wgrantalkisg: You can register a fresh import yourself.06:26
alkisgAh right, let me read about that...06:27
wgranthttps://code.launchpad.net/ltsp/+new-import06:28
alkisgThanks, the instructions on https://help.launchpad.net/Code/MirroredBranches didn't work :)06:31
wgrantOh, that page shouldn't still exist06:31
wgrantSince mirrored branches are deprecated in favour of imports06:31
* wgrant deletes.06:32
alkisgHmm I'm not sure about what to put in bzr location... if I put the same, "http://bzr.debian.org/bzr/pkg-ltsp/ltsp-debian-packaging", then why would my import work while vagrantc's doesn't?06:37
alkisg...and also I only see a very old dir there, "backup.bzr/13-May-2011 17:37    "...06:37
wgrantalkisg: That URL redirects to http://anonscm.debian.org/bzr/bzr/pkg-ltsp/ltsp-debian-packaging/06:38
wgrantThere's a .bzr there, but Apache doesn't show it by default06:38
wgrantEnter the post-redirect URL06:38
alkisgGot it, thank you06:38
wgrantanonscm.debian.org, rather than bzr.debian.org06:38
alkisgI'll skip the second bzr from the URL too, it's probably a wrong redirect...06:39
wgrantIndeed06:40
wgrantSeems to work without it06:40
alkisghttps://code.launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/ltsp/ltsp-debian-packaging - lets see if everything is ok now06:40
Matt_ChenHi, does any one can help me to work on upload my PPA ?06:44
wgrantMatt_Chen: What's up?06:46
Matt_ChenI did "dput -u ppa:matt680209/test pcmanx-gtk2_1.1-2_amd64.changes".06:46
Matt_Cheneverything is working fine, but I can not see it in my https://launchpad.net/~matt680209/+archive/test06:47
wgrantMatt_Chen: Looks like you've got two problems there.06:47
wgrantFirstly, you're trying to upload binary packages, when you need to upload just a source package06:47
wgrant_source.changes, rather than _amd64.changes06:47
Matt_Chenwgrant, I see.06:48
wgrantSecondly, you shouldn't need -u -- that skips OpenPGP signature verification, but if it isn't signed with a key known to Launchpad then the upload will fail silently.06:48
Matt_Chenwgrant, I don't import the PGP key to my lunchpad.06:48
wgrantMatt_Chen: Have you read https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading?06:49
Matt_Chenwgrant, yes.06:49
Matt_Chenwgrant, I think I missed something from the document.06:49
wgrantMatt_Chen: https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/ImportingYourPGPKey tells you how to import your key.06:51
Matt_Chenwgrant, it is good. Thank you for helping me this.06:52
wgrantalkisg: That import's done.06:56
alkisgYup, thanks again :)06:56
alkisg(just got an email about it)06:56
Matt_Chenwgrant, how to open Passwords and Encryption Keys in ubuntu 12.04 LTS ?06:59
Matt_Chenwgrant, I would need it to push it to the Ubuntu keyserver.07:00
wgrantMatt_Chen: Hit the dash icon (the Ubuntu icon in the top left), then type "password". You should see it there.07:00
Matt_Chenwgrant, OK.07:01
Matt_Chenwgrant, I have my gpg key in my launchpad account now. how would I upload my pcmanx-gtk2_1.1-2_source.changes to my PPA ?07:31
wgrantMatt_Chen: The same command you used before, except without -u07:33
Matt_Chenstill complains me :07:34
Matt_ChenChecking signature on .changes07:34
Matt_Chengpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.07:34
Matt_Chengpg: the signature could not be verified.07:34
Matt_ChenPlease remember that the signature file (.sig or .asc)07:34
Matt_Chenshould be the first file given on the command line.07:34
Matt_ChenNo signature on /home/linux/bzr/pcmanx-gtk2_1.1-2_source.changes.07:34
wgrantMatt_Chen: Havev you rebuilt the source package since you uploaded your key?07:34
Matt_Chenwgrant, locally or in launchpad ?07:35
wgrantMatt_Chen: Locally07:35
Matt_Chenwgrant, oh...not yet, I didn't know that's needed. sorry07:35
wgrantMatt_Chen: debuild will automatically sign the .changes file with your key if the name+email on your key match what's in the changelog.07:35
wgrantOtherwise you can manually run 'debsign -k508D6F47 pcmanx-gtk2_1.1-2_source.changes'07:35
Matt_Chenwgrant, I see.07:36
* Matt_Chen doing rebuild07:36
Matt_Chenwgrant, amazing, it works. :-D07:42
Matt_Chenwgrant, thank you so much.07:42
Matt_Chenwgrant, but why I still see nothing in my PPA ?07:44
wgrantMatt_Chen: You should have an email now.07:48
wgrantMatt_Chen: Uploads are only processed every 5 or 10 minutes.07:48
Matt_Chenwgrant, I have it now, it says "linux@linux-HP-G6-Notebook-PC is not a valid email address".07:48
wgrantMatt_Chen: Yep07:48
wgrantMatt_Chen: Sounds like your email address is incorrect in the changelog.07:49
StevenKMatt_Chen: If you use dch to edit the changelog, you can set DEBFULLNAME and DEBEMAIL which dch will respect.07:49
Matt_Chenwgrant, hum...so I need to do "bzr whoami " ?07:50
wgrantMatt_Chen: No, debian/changelog, not the bzr changelog.07:50
wgrantAs StevenK says.07:50
Matt_ChenStevenK, wgrant, I see. I really use dch.07:50
Matt_ChenStevenK, how to set that ? I mean in shell ?07:52
StevenKMatt_Chen: It's an environment variable, so export DEBFULLNAME='Matthew Chen'07:52
StevenKYou can also put that into .bashrc or .bash_profile07:52
Matt_ChenStevenK, thanks for that. :)07:53

diwicHi! I'm getting an error which I don't understand - maybe my import has become corrupted somehow?10:20

ubot5Launchpad bug 963525 in Launchpad itself "signed tag support" [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/96352510:26
jelmerdiwic: bzr-git hasn't yet been updated to support signed tags, and apparently your repository has some10:27
diwicjelmer, is there anything I can do to work around the issue10:29
diwicjelmer, like, run a command that would remove all signed tags or so10:29
jelmerdiwic: actually, it's mergetags rather than signed tags10:32
jelmer(I've updated the bug)10:32
jelmerI'm not aware of an easy way to strip mergetags from commits; presumably you could script something using git-fast-export, but I've never tried.10:33
diwicjelmer, okay, maybe I could strip all tags10:34
jelmerdiwic: I don't think that would help, this is the data that's in the existing Commit objects in the git repository10:34
jelmerit's worth a shot though, I guess10:34
diwicjelmer, do you have an ETA on when this is supposed to be fixed?10:35
diwicjelmer, if it's more than a few days I'll probably look into making workarounds10:35
jelmerdiwic: it's not on the Launchpad roadmap at the moment as far as I know10:36
diwicjelmer, maybe I can get oem stakeholder to raise priority for it?10:37
jelmerdiwic: yes, that would be a way to get it fixed10:37
diwicjelmer, this is a modified kernel tree so I would assume all kernel trees would be broken as well10:38
diwic(if they don't fall out due to OOM issues, but maybe you have fixed them)10:38
jelmerdiwic: yes, there's quite a few more that are failing because it10:41
jelmerdiwic: mergetags are a fairly recent feature in git, and are being used more often these days10:42
jelmerdiwic: the OOM issues are all in the launchpad branch scanner, not bzr-git10:42
jelmerdiwic: that bug has been escalated though - see bug 80893010:43
