* h6w is thinking about moving some projects from an svn repos.00:55
h6wI like github's interface, but I also like launchpad's bug management.00:56
h6wParticularly, my two concerns with lp are (1) the ease of forking, and (2) getting a good visual of the current state of the branches.00:57
h6wIs there anyone around who has experience with both?00:58
StevenKThe ease of forking? bzr branch lp:project ; <hack> ; bzr commit ; bzr push lp:~name/project/a-new-feature00:58
StevenKYou do not need a server side 'fork' button00:58
h6wWell, normally I'd agree with you, but there's a psychological "You don't have to learn bzr to work on this project." which draws people in.01:00
StevenKh6w: You know svn, you can treat bzr like it01:00
h6wYes, *I* know this, but many of the people who get interested in our code like coding but not version control.  I want to treat these with kid gloves.01:02
dobeynobody *likes* version control01:02
StevenKh6w: It pretty much is like what I said, bzr branch lp:project, etc01:02
h6wI have one person in particular who took code out of the repos, worked on it for a year, and then argued that he couldn't commit because the updates were too different.01:02
h6wYeah.  Maybe I'm asking too much.01:03
dobeyh6w: no version control system is going to solve that problem for any active projects01:03
dobeyif you maintain a fork for a year that isn't up to date with trunk; you're going to have problems regardless of the vcs01:03
h6wWell, at least with github I can say "Here's your own fork, trash it, and I'll sort out the differences in a separate fork before merging back in.01:04
dobeyand you can do that on lp01:04
h6wTrue, but not as easy visually.01:04
h6wI get diff counts and analysis all through the web UI for free.  Can I do that with bzr?01:05
StevenKh6w: Launchpad does 'Merge proposals' rather than pull requests. Here is an example https://code.launchpad.net/~stevenk/launchpad/no-more-add-bug-supervisor/+merge/11981801:06
ubot5Ubuntu bug 119818 in knetworkmanager (Ubuntu) "wpa does not work with networkmanager, WEP works" [Undecided,Invalid]01:06
dobeygithub shoving pretty colors on top of 'diff' has nothing to do with bzr or git01:06
dobeyand i have no idea what you mean by 'analysis'01:06
lifelessh6w: show us something you're missing on LP on github, we'll see if there is a place on LP you missed it.01:07
h6wBy analysis, I mean merge proposals that follow the changes.01:07
h6wSorry, I've just been working on a project on github temporarily.  Now I feel spoilt, even if it's just pretty colors and layout.01:07
dobeyas you see on the link StevenK posted, merge proposals have colored diffs, yes01:08
dobeyand they update when the branch being prooposed changes01:08
h6wAwesome.  That must be a new feature.  (I haven't looked at this seriously in a couple of years.)01:12
h6wAlso, this looks like what I'm suggesting. https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/40809701:12
ubot5Ubuntu bug 408097 in Launchpad itself "Making a new branch of an existing project on Launchpad is not obvious, requires having bzr installed and copying (some) branch data around" [Low,Triaged]01:12
wgranth6w: Merge proposals have had those features for about 4 years, actually.01:13
h6wIs there a bug for "Branch information could be more dynamic and include user information on contributions" like github's little branch tree?01:14
dobeybranch info dose include user info01:15
dobeydoes01:15
h6wHmmm, ok.  I'm going to have to give this a proper play.   At present it looks like a statically-generated image with little actual information (when compared against github's interface).01:16
dobeyoh you mean the silly little line graph thing?01:16
h6wYes.  Very silly but gives me a nice overall view, and allows me to go back years to see when someone looked at various things, contributions (which I know is quite mythical), and other stuff.01:18
h6wCurrently, for example, I'm trying to argue to a non-coding manager that we shouldn't pander to someone who hasn't commit in almost a year.01:18
dobeylaunchpad doesn't have such a thing on each branch01:19
dobeythe one on launchpad just shows milestones and series branchse01:19
dobeybranches01:19
h6wYeah.  What would that be called? (So I can search for it in lp bugs)01:19
dobeyfor each branch, you can however, go through the entire history on the web if you want in the code browser01:19
dobeyi don't know. scrolling horizontally in a tiny little area on a web page is like the most useless thing ever, really :)01:20
dobeybut there are local tools you can run inside a branch to get a huge pretty graph if you really want one, and the code browser on launchpad works pretty well, and lets you see diffs and such01:20
h6wPersonal preference.  I actually found myself looking at it on a daily basis since there were a dozen or so people actively working on the project in a single day, I could look at their changes easily and determine if I wanted to merge what they'd done recently.01:21

rmkno problem, definitely understand06:14
rmkwhile I've got you guys, I've always been curious what makes publishing take ~15-20 minutes at times?06:14
StevenKIf a large package is uploaded to a PPA or a large number of PPAs changed, usually06:15
StevenKSometimes the machine is just bogged down with an awful lot of requests06:16
wgrantrmk: Sometimes the publishing machinery gets a bit overloaded when there's a lot of packages flying around. We're moving it to a new much bigger machine tomorrow (as part of this series of DC moves), which will hopefully bring it back to every 5 minutes consistently06:16
rmkawesome06:16
wgrantOr at least better than it is now :)06:17
rmkIt wasn't too bad but faster is always better06:17

mgz...why is that on lp-oops13:40
wgrant'cause ubotu's out of date13:41
mgzbut doesn't actually seem to be found on either oops or lp-oops13:41
wgrantmgz: We probably still have a huge queue from the DB switchover13:41
wgrantapw: How many times have you retried?13:41
wgrantWe're on a new DB server that has never been a DB server before, so you may be suffering from cold cache13:41
mgzapw: sorry, you'll have to wait to find out, what method did you use to file?13:41
wgrant(also, this weekend nothing involving the datacentres is exactly 'simple' :P)13:42
mgzbut you've looked like you're having such fun...13:42
apwwgrant, about 10 times over two minues13:42
wgrantHmm13:43
wgrantapw: Is this during the dupe search stage, or the actual submission?13:43
apwwgrant, after i've typed the title and description, so i assume dup search?13:43
wgrantapw: The description is after dup search13:43
apwwgrant, shows how much i read :/13:44
wgrantHeh13:44
wgrantapw: Any better now? There was a DB load issue for 15-20 minutes around the time you asked.13:58
apwwgrant, worked that time, thanks13:59

apwwgrant, i assume the lack of jobs scheduling onto active buildds is known?23:32
wgrantapw: For private PPAs, yes.23:32
wgrantapw: Private PPAs need the source published before they can build, and the publisher is currently disabled as we're reattaching SAN volumes and stuff onto the new machine23:33
apwwgrant, no for the main buildds23:33
wgrantHm, that should be working.23:33
wgrantapw: Do you have a link to a bad build?23:33
wgrantIt's possible that the builders have gone crazy again23:33

wgrantYeah, those two have been problem children over the last few hours23:35
apwwgrant, armhf appears to have one builder which isn't pulling jobs either23:35
