[01:23] <george_e> I've uploaded a build of GCC 4.7 for Precise to a PPA but when other packages in the PPA build, they are still using GCC 4.6.
[01:23] <george_e> Here is a link to the PPA: https://code.launchpad.net/~george-edison55/+archive/nitroshare-dev
[01:24] <george_e> ...and here is a build that failed because GCC 4.6 is still being pulled in: https://code.launchpad.net/~george-edison55/+archive/nitroshare-dev/+build/4274624/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-precise-i386.nitroshare_0.3-0%7E201302050803%7Eprecise1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
[01:24] <StevenK> You probably need gcc-defaults to make sure it pulls in 4.7
[01:24] <wgrant> george_e: Have you also uploaded gcc-defaults ?
[01:24] <wgrant> What StevenK said
[01:25] <george_e> Ah.
[01:25] <george_e> I will backport that and see if it helps.
[08:39] <dbm> Hello guys, how can i get ssh key for lunchpad on osx ? 10.8?
[08:39] <dbm> launch*
[10:42] <Mkaysi> dbm: ssh-keygen should work with it too.
[10:49] <dbm> Mkaysi: solved it
[10:50] <Mkaysi> :)
[15:08] <vibhav> Is anybody here knowing whether test cases using X11 will work with launchpad?
[15:12] <geser> vibhav: you might need probably "xvfb" for that
[15:14] <vibhav> geser: What is that?
[15:14] <geser> Description-en: Virtual Framebuffer 'fake' X server
[15:32] <vibhav> geser: thanks
[17:40] <vibhav> Does Launchpad allow root privilages on its build servers?
[17:41] <tsimpson> fakeroot, not real root
[17:41] <vibhav> tsimpson: A test case here needs Xvfb which needs root to run
[17:43] <vibhav> tsimpson: And for Xvfb to function without root, one needs to chmod u+s the Xvfb binary, which requires root too :(
[17:44] <tsimpson> maybe you can disable the test cases on the build
[17:45] <tsimpson> not exactly a solution, but...
[17:46] <vibhav> tsimpson: I am writing the autopkgtest cases
[17:46] <vibhav> http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/auto-pkg-test.html
[17:47] <tsimpson> hmm, then I'd suggest filing a question and seeing what the LP admins suggest
[17:47] <vibhav> sure, thanks
[18:58] <geser> vibhav: there are several packages that build-depend on xvfb. If I not mistaken they use it for some build tests. Perhaps you could check how they manage to use xvfb on the buildds.
[19:00] <geser> packages like apport, bamf, indicator-appmenu, libgtk2-perl and others
[19:10] <dobey> eh? xvfb doesn't need root to run
[19:10] <dobey> "xvfb-run -a yourscript"
[19:12] <geser> dobey: vibhav got this already resolved in #ubuntu-devel (it was a internet page with wrong information)
[19:14] <dobey> ah
[23:30] <thomi> Hi - I'm using a recipe to build some debian packages, and it looks to me like the builder is building into the wrong PPA. Is it possible to cancel the builds & delete the packages that have been published from the PPA?
[23:31] <wgrant> thomi: Which build?
[23:31] <thomi> wgrant: https://code.launchpad.net/~thomir/+recipe/cegui-daily
[23:31] <thomi> wgrant: I just found the "delete packages" link in the PPA
[23:31] <thomi> I have no idea how it selected that PPA - other than it's at the top of the list of PPAs I have access to
[23:32] <wgrant> thomi: You must have left the default selected when you requested the builds
[23:32] <wgrant> It is a rather unfortunate default, but that's the only real possibility for what happened
[23:32] <TheLordOfTime> what's the upper bound on resources a  PPA builder can have for any given build?
[23:32] <thomi> wgrant: when I request the build it defails to what I've configured in the recipe though
[23:33] <thomi> wgrant: is there a way to cancel the incorrect builds? or should I just wait it out...
[23:33] <wgrant> TheLordOfTime: What's interesting about the *upper* bound of available resources?
[23:33] <wgrant> The lower bound is surely all that is relevant
[23:33] <TheLordOfTime> wgrant:  wondering whether libreoffice'll build.
[23:33] <wgrant> thomi: Normally, yes, but that's a non-virt PPA so the builds can't be cancelled.
[23:34] <TheLordOfTime> wgrant:  need to build-test to see if a newer dep will break it, and i don't have pbuilder around to do it.
[23:34] <TheLordOfTime> (not enough resources!)
[23:34] <thomi> wgrant: :( okay, thanks for your help
[23:34] <wgrant> TheLordOfTime: The main constraint with some libreoffice builds is that they use >30GB of disk space, which some of our builders cannot support
[23:35] <TheLordOfTime> ... lolwut?
[23:35] <TheLordOfTime> it uses 30GB of disk space to build?
[23:35] <wgrant> Yes
[23:35] <TheLordOfTime> o.O
[23:35] <wgrant> It's a pretty horrible package
[23:35] <wgrant> I think it may be better now
[23:35] <wgrant> But a few months ago it was a serious issue
[23:35] <TheLordOfTime> of that you and I are agreed, but as a sync-request is dependent on testing the build, well...
[23:36] <TheLordOfTime> because the sync is for a dep of the raring libreoffice, and it needs to work with the newer dep.
[23:36] <TheLordOfTime> if it doesn't, it will cancel two other sync-requests
[23:36] <TheLordOfTime> which is fine, but...
[23:36]  * TheLordOfTime yawns
[23:36] <TheLordOfTime> you know what, i shouldn't be build-testing when i'm tired anyways
[23:36] <TheLordOfTime> i'm likely to break the debian/control file :P
