[09:47] <odony> Hi, is anyone from Launchpad available to help?
[09:48] <odony> I was wondering if there is a way to change the "creator" user for a given branch, without re-creating it (e.g. because it has a ton of stacked branches and merge proposals linked to it)
[09:49] <wgrant> odony: It's not possible to change the creator; the creator indicates the user that created it. But it doesn't provide any privileges, it's just informational.
[09:50] <odony> yup, but we have a problem with an ex-employee who apparently pretends to still work for us simply because he happens to be the "creator" of our trunk branch :-(
[09:50] <wgrant> The owner of the branch (which you can change on the "Change branch details" page) controls who can push to the branch
[09:50] <wgrant> Oh, lovely :/
[09:50] <wgrant> Ask at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion and we might be able to sort something out
[09:50] <odony> wgrant: yes, it's not so much an access issue than a political issue :-/
[09:50] <wgrant> Yeah, I understand
[09:50] <odony> wgrant: thanks, will do that
[10:15] <Fudge> hi can a single ppa hold packages for e.g lucid mavericy natty precise etc? I think that is correct and as sources are added for that particular release the system would only see the packages built for that release?
[10:17] <Fudge> does that make sense hehe
[10:26] <wgrant> Fudge: That's right
[10:35] <Fudge> ah thought so, thanks for sifting my question hehe
[13:55] <shadeslayer> I'm trying to monitor the buildstates using the build object from the Launchpad API, however, once I start querying the buildstate, it never changes
[13:56] <shadeslayer> and I have to get the build object again to get the new buildstate
[13:57] <wgrant> shadeslayer: Right, the object is cached once you load it
[13:57] <wgrant> Otherwise you'd be making a network request for every single attribute access
[13:57] <shadeslayer> drat
[13:58] <wgrant> You might want to look at the lp_refresh() method
[13:58] <shadeslayer> oh
[13:59] <wgrant> Everything would be a little slower if every single attribute access made a fresh request
[13:59] <shadeslayer> I don't see anything on api.launchpad.net  , could you give me a link to the documentation for lp_refresh?
[14:00] <wgrant> shadeslayer: api.launchpad.net is the raw API documentation; it doesn't know about launchpadlib
[14:00] <wgrant> lp_refresh() is a method on all launchpadlib entry resource objects.
[14:00] <wgrant> So just say build.lp_refresh()
[14:01] <shadeslayer> oh
[14:01] <shadeslayer> awesome

[14:36] <IAsmanidis> hi there ... I'm trying to upload some packages to my ppa repository I created but nothing happens... I have signed the conduct i signed my packages and when I use dput I get no error and only a success message at the end ... but my ppa does not have any packages ...
[14:36] <wgrant> dupondje: Your debian/rules clean seems to assume that the dir exists
[14:38] <shadeslayer> wgrant: I don't suppose there's a way to get build estimates?
[14:38] <wgrant> dupondje: Ah, it's in the makefile, in fact
[14:38] <shadeslayer> ( via the API )
[14:38] <czajkowski> shadeslayer: bit of a busy day :)
[14:39] <shadeslayer> sure, np :)
[14:39] <wgrant> shadeslayer: No, that info's not exposed over the API
[14:39] <shadeslayer> :(
[14:39] <shadeslayer> ah well
[14:39] <wgrant> We *could* but it tends to not be hugely accurate or too useful
[14:39] <dupondje> wgrant: on Precise it builds fine ... strange
[14:40] <shadeslayer> right
[14:42] <wgrant> dupondje: But that *did* build fine
[14:42] <wgrant> The build succeeded
[14:42] <wgrant> Which recipe's this?
[14:42] <wgrant> Ah, https://code.launchpad.net/~freerdp-team/+archive/freerdp/+recipebuild/328056
[14:42] <wgrant> The upload failed, not the build itself
[14:42] <wgrant> INFO freerdp_1.0.1-1ubuntu2.1freerdp1~1098+27~quantal1.dsc: Version older than that in the archive. 1.0.1-1ubuntu2.1freerdp1~1098+27~quantal1 <= 1.0.1-1.1ubuntu1freerdp1~1049+29~quantal1
[14:45] <IAsmanidis_> I read somewhere that theh verification email can take up to two days .. is that true?
[14:45] <dupondje> fixed version :)
[17:11] <akk> Hi! LP relative newbie here. I've taken over a launchpad project that used to be in someone's personal repo, lp:~user/projectname, but now it has a real project.
[17:11] <akk> There are a bunch of Branch Merge Proposals that I'm trying to review and check in
[17:12] <akk> but they're all requesting a merge onto the old location, and apparently I can't close them after merging them to the project's trunk.
[17:13] <akk> Is there a way to change merge proposals so they point to lp:projectname/trunk instead of lp:~user/projectname/trunk, so I can close them?
[17:15] <bjsnider> will ppa source packages using .xz work on lucid builders?
[18:02] <audifahrer> Hi
[18:02] <audifahrer> does anyone know why this receipe fails: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/119760334/buildlog.txt.gz / https://code.launchpad.net/~tux-style/+recipe/oisp-daily
[18:59] <audifahrer> ahh. it's because I've unicode files in the GIT from where I import
[18:59] <audifahrer> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/966934
[19:00] <audifahrer> I couldn't believe! Good that I didn't trust bzr and only use it as build server! :-)
[19:00] <audifahrer> do you plan to install this bugfix shortly?
[19:03] <audifahrer> hm, ok. it's depending on the distribution I like to compile it. I'll try a newer compile distribution.
[22:21] <Fudge> wgrant you about? i'm stumped on an error. copying a package to another ppa and building from lucid to precise, the error says binary already exists but I have checked and I marked the package to be deleted a week ago and it is not showing. What would that mean? :)
[22:22] <wgrant> Fudge: You can't have two files of the same name in the PPA's history
[22:23] <wgrant> So if the binary filenames conflict it'll reject the copy even if the old ones are deleted
[22:26] <Fudge> wgrant what is a solution? since I didnt upload the first package, I am jsut taking it out of one of our ppa's and asked launchpad to build it for a precise one. Our ppa structure is a bit stupid, we have like one for each ubuntu release from karmic and one for the same marked testing
[22:26] <Fudge> vinux/ubuntu
[22:28] <wgrant> Fudge: You'll need to change the version
[22:28] <Fudge> wgrant thank you, I don't image I can do that from launchpad, do I need to get the source and repackage?
[22:28] <Fudge> image=imagine
[22:29] <wgrant> Right, you need to reupload
[22:30] <Fudge> thank you so much mate
