[03:44] <pabs3> is there a way to update the description of a bug using the email interface?
[03:44] <pabs3> based on the wiki page about it there does not seem to be: https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/EmailInterface
[04:00] <wgrant> pabs3: The email interface lets you specify the description when filing a new bug, but it can't change a description afterwards.
[04:00] <wgrant> Only the API and web UI can do that.
[04:23] <pabs3> ok
[15:25] <bac> hi jam
[15:26] <czajkowski> bac: loving the pics
[15:26] <czajkowski> looks so pretty there right now
[15:26] <bac> czajkowski: it is, and warm
[15:26] <bac> czajkowski: we've cooled down to a high of 29C today
[15:27] <czajkowski> bac: no need to rub it in mister! I'm at a mild 7C here today, with no rain or snow :-)
[15:44] <semiosis> yesterday i uploaded to my ppa, as i normally do, and i got a rejection email from launchpad saying my ppa did not exist in another user's account
[15:44] <czajkowski> semiosis: what are the ac names?
[15:45] <semiosis> i uploaded a second time and then got the acceptance email
[15:45] <semiosis> ac names?
[15:45] <czajkowski> you siad another users ac
[15:45] <czajkowski> what is your ac name and the other ac name
[15:45] <semiosis> assuming ac = account
[15:46] <semiosis> mine is semiosis, others is trevormosey
[15:46] <semiosis> i can forward you the rejection email if you like
[15:46] <czajkowski> semiosis: no it's ok for a moment
[15:47] <czajkowski> sinzui: have you ever heard of anything like this happening before ??
[15:47] <semiosis> timestamp on the email is 18:15 EST (-0500)
[15:47] <semiosis> in case that helps
[15:47] <czajkowski> I've no access to any of the mails
[15:47] <sinzui> hmm
[15:50] <sinzui> semiosis, have you confirmed the incoming lines in your ~/.dput.cf points to your lp-id
[15:51] <semiosis> sinzui: i use it often and it's always worked... like i said, i re-uploaded the same thing a second time and it worked like normal
[15:51] <semiosis> didnt change anything on 2nd try
[15:51] <sinzui> oh
[15:52] <sinzui> are you certain that the odd reject was for your package...it was not really an email to someone elses about their package?
[15:52]  * sinzui wants to see the raw email to investigate further
[15:53] <jo-erlend> when a bug I'm subscribed to is marked as a duplicate of another, then I automatically get subscribed to the other one, yes?
[15:53] <semiosis> sinzui: pm me your addr
[15:54] <dobey> jo-erlend: afaik, yes
[15:55] <semiosis> to recap, sinzui pointed me toward https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/684450
[15:55] <semiosis> which describes a typoed ppa causing this rejection
[15:55] <semiosis> and on closer inspection, i /did/ typo it :(
[15:56] <semiosis> but must have fixed that and forgot (it was late) on the 2nd try
[16:03] <jo-erlend> does LP have a REST API or something? For instance if I'd like to include a few specifics about one particular bug in an external website?
[16:08] <tsimpson> jo-erlend: it does https://launchpad.net/+apidoc/1.0.html
[16:09] <tsimpson> it's actually what ubot5 uses to get bug information
[16:10] <dobey> is there any way to inform consumers of a certain PPA that they should switch to a different PPA?
[16:13] <sinzui> dobey, no
[16:13] <sinzui> its would be nice to help people transition.
[16:15] <dobey> indeed
[16:22] <jo-erlend> tsimpson, heh, thanks. I should've realized that. :)
[17:20] <czajkowski> sinzui: you were commenting on the answer yesterday re email address being added to the LP profile, any ideas what is up there?
[17:28] <sinzui> czajkowski, wgrant was going to test his won loco address
[17:28] <czajkowski> ah ok
[17:28] <czajkowski> shall I assign it to him
[17:29] <czajkowski> https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/216823
[17:29] <sinzui> czajkowski, Canonical's servers could be losing some or all loco addresses
[17:29] <czajkowski> https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/216931  I'm also struggling with today :/
[17:29] <czajkowski> sinzui: we'd surely have had more issues than 1 person though
[17:29] <sinzui> yes.
[17:30] <sinzui> wgrant suspects his own loco is blocked.
[18:19] <xnox> czajkowski: that format of branch may require an older version of bzr to clone.
[18:19] <xnox> czajkowski: something like the one shipped in lucid, or maybe even before that.
[18:19] <xnox> czajkowski: redirect the question to bzr folks ;-)
[18:29] <dobey> xnox: you could "bzr upgrade lp:~user/project/branch" to upgrade the branch on the server without needing a local checkout
[18:30] <xnox> dobey: sure but does local and/or launchpad bzr still know about " RepositoryFormatKnitPack5RichRoot "
[18:30] <xnox> ?
[18:31] <dobey> xnox: yes
[18:31] <dobey> xnox: the problem isn't that bzr can't handle it. it's that the branch is stacked on a branch that has been upgraded, and the versions are in conflict, so bzr can't resolve the history
[20:36] <shadeslayer> I believe nasl is broken, chroot issue, could someone fix it?
[21:27] <shadeslayer> maxb: ping
[21:27] <shadeslayer> maxb: I remember that you had some setup where you pushed some failing imports for project neon manually
[21:27] <shadeslayer> could you tell me what setup you used?
[21:28] <shadeslayer> ( iirc you said you did a git fast-export and then a bzr fast-import )
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> hey guys, quick question about karma if I may :)
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> How much karma is a request for information worth, an answer worth and a question being marked as solved worth please?
[21:36] <czajkowski> ActionParsnip: https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/Karma
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> it doesn't give any actual numbers though
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> like "If a user reports a question as solved you get 100 karma" etc
[21:39] <shadeslayer> usually answering questions on launchpad gives you ton of karna
[21:39] <shadeslayer> *karma
[21:39] <shadeslayer> but 'don't judge people by their karma' is my usual policy :P
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> true but I'm after the actual numbers, do they exist please?
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Just seeing how long it will take me to overtake Martin Pitt :)
[21:41] <shadeslayer> hahaha
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Its close now so I'm treating it like a game
[21:42] <shadeslayer> I thought cjwatson had the highest karma
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> Nar, it's Martin, then me
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> watson is #4
[21:42] <shadeslayer> apparently not
[21:42] <shadeslayer> I see
[21:43] <shadeslayer> gee .. I only just touched 11K
[21:43] <shadeslayer> I think the highest I had was 14K
[21:43] <czajkowski> kinda explains it herehttps://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/Karma#How_Launchpad_calculates_the_score_for_each_type_of_work
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> shadeslayer: its all good tough :)
[21:43] <shadeslayer> ActionParsnip: yeah :P
[21:43] <czajkowski> but tis only karma nobody looks at it tbh
[21:44] <czajkowski> and it does decrease over time
[21:44] <shadeslayer> ^
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> Its why I keep it up. I'm gonna be the top :)
[21:45] <shadeslayer> then some sneaky ubuntu dev will try and topple you
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> i'll ust keep pushing. I have few ubuntu issues so its the only way I can learn my OS
[21:48] <shadeslayer> :D
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> just started a job today with a tonne my Linux in. Lots of Mandriva and Debian servers :)
[21:59] <dobey> i wonder how much karma i'd get for a launchpad branch to remove karma
[21:59] <lifeless> all the karma
[21:59] <dobey> heh
[23:02] <maxb> shadeslayer: hi
[23:02] <maxb> So, last time the problem was simply that Launchpad wasn't running a new enough version of bzr and bzr-git
[23:03] <maxb> So it was simply a matter of having trunk versions installed, and doing a cron-ed 'bzr pull && bzr push'
[23:04] <shadeslayer> I see
[23:05] <shadeslayer> maxb: well ... we're facing issues with a git repo which *had* a submodule
[23:05] <shadeslayer> and doing a git fast export and bzr fast import seems to work
[23:06] <shadeslayer> but that opens up security holes if I do it on a server with my private ssh key on the server
[23:06] <maxb> Oh, right. The stalled nature of bzr nested trees support is a real pain
[23:07] <maxb> I'm not particularly familiar with the incremental abilities of fast-import/export
[23:07] <shadeslayer> well ... uhh .. I don't care about the history really :P
[23:07] <shadeslayer> my primary concern is mainly that bzr should have the latest and greatest code from the repo
[23:08] <maxb> Re security - presumably the only bit you need a ssh key is for uploading the result to launchpad?
[23:08] <shadeslayer> yep
[23:09] <shadeslayer> plus I've never been able to get ssh-agent to work properly, so that's another issue that would need to be looked into
[23:09] <maxb> In which case it sounds like a good place to use a secondar/dedicated account
[23:09] <shadeslayer> hm?
[23:09] <maxb> * secondary
[23:09] <shadeslayer> ah a *secondary* account
[23:10] <shadeslayer> sounds like it
[23:10] <shadeslayer> maxb: ever had ssh-agent successfully run on a server? :P
[23:10] <maxb> Why would you need an agent?
[23:11] <shadeslayer> oh passwordless ssh key?
[23:11] <maxb> If it's a dedicated account, I don't see any harm in letting the key be passwordless
[23:11] <shadeslayer> right
[23:11] <maxb> I have a secondary account for cron-driven PPA uploads, for example
[23:12] <shadeslayer> I see
[23:12] <shadeslayer> I think this is the first time I'm actually logging out of launchpad
[23:12] <maxb> :-)
[23:14] <shadeslayer> bah
[23:15] <shadeslayer> my email address's are all registered with LP
[23:15] <maxb> Create a dedicated one?
[23:16] <shadeslayer> *nod*
