frankb_hi all10:26

wgrantfrankb_: Can you try from an Internet connection with more upstream bandwidth?10:29

zygahi12:48
zygais it possible to upload binary-only third party executables to launchpad (as a source package) ppa12:49
zygathe executable litsel is accompanied by this document: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5689307/12:49
zygait's not explicitly covered by https://help.launchpad.net/PPATermsofUse12:50
zygaI wonder if there is any similary to packages that are a part of restricted repository12:53
zygabinary drivers, ec12:53
zygaetc12:53
dobeyzyga: i think it probably fails the restricted/main test, becasue it requires you to contact the author if you want to distribute via "cd/dvd or other bundles"12:55
zygadobey: oh, good point12:55
wgrantThe restriction against being sold is also problematic12:55
zygadobey: thank you very much12:56
dobeyand that12:56
zygathanks, I think that settles it12:56
wgrantYou certainly can't upload it under the PPA Terms of Use12:56
zygaright12:56
dobeyyou can, i guess, perhaps do what the flash package does (download it from orig source on install, rather than redistribute)12:56
zygayes, we've considered that already12:56
zygasadly it's not possible in the specific use case (it would not be of value for us then)12:57
dobeywhy is that?12:57
zygadobey: being a part of a deb-based offline bundle that one can install and perform some testing12:58
=== jamestunnicliff_ is now known as jamestunnicliffe
=== marcoceppi_ is now known as marcoceppi
zygaso the case gets interesting13:00
zygaapparently we're in touch with the author and got his consent to package it in a deb file13:00
zygaI wonder what kind of legal document / license would we need to obtain, in written form, to put this in a PPA13:00
zygawould the very same license, sans the bundle/sale clause work?13:01
dobeyyou'd need the restriction on sale, and/or cd/dvd bundling removed i'd guess13:01
zygaok, that's a start then13:01
zygathanks13:01
wgrantzyga: It needs to comply with http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/licensing13:02
wgrantOr just open source the thing ;)13:02
zygaheh13:02
zygaI'd wish he did13:02
zygawgrant: thanks, that will be our guideline13:02
dobeyopen source would be good. because then at least you could also build it on 32 bit13:03

RabidCicadaHey there fella's.  Is there a way to edit your bug submissions?...I've only found I can add more (error containing comments) rather than correcting the old one.  Am I missing something?16:49

czajkowskiRabidCicada: can you not just click the pencil icon around the bug description16:57
czajkowskithat changes that16:57

RabidCicadaok...I can edit hte bug description but not the comments?16:58
czajkowskino not a comment16:58
RabidCicadaI can edit the attachment to the comments...just not the comment body itself16:58
RabidCicadaahhh...ok....Same for attachments?...As in people are going to have to look at every comment to get the attachments I want with the main bug description?16:59
RabidCicadaor do attachments appear in a unified location from different view?16:59
czajkowskithye view them from there17:00
