czajkowskiand a  lot seem to be very confused with a ppa :/ lp users mail has been very active this week11:07
philipballewYoud think using ubuntu you would know what a ppa is11:08
philipballewI have seen many people asking questions for this on askubuntu11:09

jokerdinoping popey, where do i find that mass ppa purge tool of yours?13:07
popeyhttps://code.launchpad.net/~popey/+junk/purgealltheppas13:07
jokerdinothanks13:08
popeynp13:08
nigelbmeme_for_app_name++13:11
popey:)13:16
popeypatches welcome13:16
jokerdinopopey: consider making a deb file xD13:18
popeyin a ppa? :)13:18
jokerdinoyep :P13:18
jokerdino_runs_13:19
nigelbpopey: wait, does installing your ppa also remove the ppa for your app? :D13:19
popeyi think you could argue it should13:20
popeythe whole point of purging is to get rid of them13:20
popeyand once you have got rid of them, you dont need the script anymore13:20
nigelbyeah, that's what I thought too.13:21
jokerdinoanyway, i thought of an idea of removing packages that are only available in ppa.13:23
jokerdinoremove the ppa, update apt and then figure out the packages that doesn't have installable candidate13:23

mhall119wow, 82 submissions so far for the Ubuntu App Showdown18:41
mhall119jokerdino: ppa-purge is what you want18:42
jcastromhall119: _what_?19:06
jcastro82?!?!19:06
mhall119jcastro: more than that now20:38
mhall11987 now20:41
mhall119we may top 100 before the deadline20:41
nigelb_hi20:42
mhall119hey nigelb_20:43
nigelb_bah, why am I underscored.20:43
mhall119not identified?20:43
mhall119no, you're identified...20:43
mhall119connected twice?20:43
=== nigelb_ is now known as nigelb
cjohnstonan imposter..20:43
nigelbaha.20:43
nigelbI reconnected and "nigelb" was locked for a bit.20:44
popeymhall119, mine might be ready at the last minute :D20:53
popeyi have a problem though.. with a lens.. it says [All] in the filter, but I dont want to use that word, is that hard-coded do you know mhall119 ?20:53
popeyhttps://launchpad.net/unity-lens-shopping is our attempt at a useful lens20:54
mhall119popey: that's part of the Dash, you can't change that20:54
jcastromhall119: where do you see the list of incoming apps20:54
popeyit looks up your country and tries to figure out which store to search20:54
jcastrois it a certain url?20:54
popeybut if you're in (for example) mexico, there is no "Amazon MX" so we force it to amazon US..20:54
popeybut if you want to, you can override it in the filter..20:54
mhall119jcastro: https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com/dev/arb/ has all the ARB's apps, not all of those are for the showdown20:54
popeyto UK, JP, CA or whatever20:54
popey but if you dont specifically choose one, you get "All" which is a bit of a lie, because the backend doesn't search "all" stores, just one, based on your locale..20:55
popeytrying to figure out the best way to represent that in a filter.. suggestions welcome! :D20:55
jcastromhall119: man that is sweet dude20:56
popeyhttp://popey.com/~alan/filters.png20:56
popey^^ is what it looks like20:56
paultagmhall119: but alas, you have you have yet to get a lackie to write my politics lens :)20:57
popeyi have a limited number of lackies20:57
mhall119paultag: I keep telling you I'm not important enough to have lackies20:58
paultaglies20:58
paultag;)20:58
mhall119you're the Debian big-shot, shouldn't you have your own?20:58
paultagI do have a few, but none who would write a unity lens20:58
mhall119:P20:58
popeypffft21:00
popeyif _I_ can write a unity lens, anyone can!21:00
mhall119jcastro: 89 :)21:00
paultagpopey: it's not in Debian :)21:02
paultagpopey: and since debian lackies run Debian, alas, no hope21:02
mhall119paultag: port it!21:02
paultagno wayyyy21:02
paultagit's unusable to me21:02
paultagI refuse to maintain it :)21:02
mhall119Ubuntu lackies write stuff for Debian all the time21:02
paultagsure21:02
paultagbecause you can use Debian stuff in Ubuntu21:02
paultagplus I'm as much Ubuntu as I am Debian21:02
mhall119Debian never downstreams *anything*21:03
mhall119;)21:03
paultaghahhaa :)21:03
cjohnstonlol21:03
popeyI'd love to see unity in debian21:07
popeynow is the best time to do it21:07
popeygiven we have 5.12 in 12.04 LTS21:07
nigelbexcept debian's in freeze.21:09
paultagyep21:17
paultagand it'd become unmaintained21:17
paultagsince unity authors likely have no interest in maintaining it in Debian21:18
mhall119paultag: have you asked the unity authors?21:19
paultagmhall119: I have no interest in it, I don't like unity -- like, at all :)21:25
popeymy team is responsible for releasing unity. I'd love for them to release to an open minded debian21:26
paultagpopey: I'd be willing to sponsor a well-maintained and well formated (and un-gnome-brekey) Unity, but I won't be doing any work on it21:27
paultagI don't use it, and I can't see myself ever using it21:27
popeyyes, I think you've made that point quite clear a few times21:27
paultagbut if you need someone to review it, sure. I just won't be the one to do it :)21:27
paultag← gone21:58
