[08:53] <marvin24> wgrant: thanks!
[10:10] <zheoffec> does anyone here have priveleges to delete an old account?
[10:11] <zheoffec> launchpads account deletion service doesnt work at all
[10:13] <zheoffec> anyone?
[10:18] <StevenK> zheoffec: Only you can delete your own account.
[10:26] <zheoffec> StevenK: not even a launchpad admin?
[10:26] <StevenK> No, not even.
[10:27] <zheoffec> all the deleting account service does is add "-deactivatedaccount" onto my username
[10:27] <StevenK> And logs you out. The rest of it is done via process that runs in the background.
[10:28] <zheoffec> so when I try to create a new one with the same email it gives me a warning to my email address even when I changed it to a gmail one
[10:28] <zheoffec> StevenK: so how long will it take?
[10:28] <StevenK> Why are you trying to deactivate your account so you can recreate it?
[10:28] <zheoffec> yes
[10:28] <StevenK> Yes, but *why*?
[10:31] <zheoffec> to remove a repository
[10:31] <StevenK> You can delete a PPA
[10:32] <zheoffec> how can I do that?
[10:32] <wgrant> Open the PPA page and click the Delete link in the top right
[10:34] <zheoffec> oh thank you - that option was not there last time i checked
[10:34] <StevenK> It hasn't moved :-)
[10:35] <zheoffec> oh. thanks wgrant, StevenK anyway - bye
[13:20] <roadmr> hello! I'm trying to switch a branch from proprietary to public but I get "sorry, you don't have permission to make this change", even though I'm a member of the group that owns the branch
[13:22] <roadmr> does anybody happen to know how to flip branches to public?
[13:23] <wgrant> roadmr: Which project?
[13:24] <roadmr> https://code.launchpad.net/~checkbox-dev/cloud-testing/trunk and https://code.launchpad.net/~checkbox-dev/checkbox-certification-cloud/trunk
[13:24] <roadmr> wgrant: ^^, thanks
[13:29] <wgrant> roadmr: What is the exact text of the error message?
[13:30] <wgrant> Is it in a popup?
[13:30] <roadmr> ok so I click on the pencil next to the padlocked thing on the top right, select "public"
[13:30] <roadmr> message says "Sorry, you don't have permission to make this change."
[13:30] <roadmr> wgrant: yes, popup
[13:30] <roadmr> wgrant: with an "OK" button for me to click
[13:32] <wgrant> roadmr: What if you use the non-AJAX form (middle click on the edit icon)?
[13:32] <roadmr> wgrant: hm, the dropdown only has "proprietary" in it
[13:33] <wgrant> roadmr: Ah, then the branch is probably stacked on a branch that is proprietary.
[13:33] <wgrant> Yeah, it's stacked on https://code.launchpad.net/~bladernr/checkbox-certification-cloud/trunk
[13:34] <wgrant> You probably want to unstack it
[13:34] <wgrant> bzr reconfigure --unstacked lp:checkbox-certification-cloud
[13:34] <wgrant> Then you can make it public
[13:34] <roadmr> wgrant: awesome! trying, give me a sec...
[13:35] <wgrant> I guess that the ~bladernr branch was trunk initially, then the ~checkbox-dev branch was pushed so it ended up stacked on the old trunk, and then the branches were switched.
[13:37] <roadmr> wgrant: yep, exactly what happened
[13:43] <roadmr> wgrant: excellent, it worked! it took a while to unstack, but then I was able to switch to public. Thanks!
[13:44] <wgrant> roadmr: Yeah, it has to copy the data from the previous stacked-on branch.
