[03:33] how do I claim and delete this launchpad account? I already have the pabs account. https://launchpad.net/~pabs3 [03:36] pabs3: If you're logged in you should see a link to claim it [03:36] Then you need to verify that you own the address [03:36] If you don't have access to the address any more, ask at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion and we'll sort it out. [03:38] and to delete it? [03:53] pabs3: Probably easier to claim it and merge it into your existing account [03:54] Exactly [03:54] Best way to delete it is to merge it [03:54] Since it's the same person [03:54] It'll switch the references across to your one true account [03:59] ok cool. done, thanks [05:20] Is there an API route for obtaining a list of all PPAs? [05:20] I searched through the documentation and haven't come across anything yet. [05:23] george_e: No. Why do you want to do that? [05:24] wgrant: Because the API provides a route for obtaining all of the packages in a PPA, I thought it would be neat to write a tool that enumerated all of the PPAs and obtained the package list for each of them. [05:24] Then I could dump all of the data into a database and write a nice web front-end for searching. [05:24] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas [05:24] You don't want to be scraping that volume of data from Launchpad [05:24] It is large [05:25] Oh... how many PPAs do we have? [05:25] Over 40,000 [05:25] :O [05:26] Okay... never mind. [05:26] wgrant: But the link you provided doesn't work. [05:26] And those are just the public ones. [05:26] OOPS-d721dc8e2fcabe296aad5190ea5a5295 [05:26] https://oops.canonical.com/?oopsid=OOPS-d721dc8e2fcabe296aad5190ea5a5295 [05:26] It times out [05:26] That page is pretty terrible [05:26] StevenK: As far as I can remember, that page has always timed out. [05:26] It should work after a refresh [05:27] Oh now it works! Thanks! [05:29] Now I've just noticed that this tool claims to be able to search through the "PPA database". [05:30] Interesting... [05:31] They might scrape the data directly from the archives on ppa.launchpad.net [05:34] The relevant code seems to be here: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~webupd8team/y-ppa-manager/y-ppa-manager/view/head:/list_search_ppas#L230 [05:34] My eyes [05:34] wget -q https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter="$SEARCH_PPA" [05:34] * StevenK reaches for a spoon [05:35] I am reminded of Automatix. [05:35] Lol. [05:36] wgrant: That word is forbidden. [05:37] Interesting discovery: matches 14,958 PPAs. [05:38] Counts that large are an approximation. [05:39] Anyway, I get the impression my idea is dead in the water. Unless Launchpad did some sort of "data dump" of the database. === jam1 is now known as jam [08:06] is there any workaround for #238869 or should I just type "yes" and pray? === cjohnston_ is now known as cjohnston [13:35] #123456 === wedgwood_away is now known as wedgwood === wedgwood is now known as Guest86505 === hggdh_ is now known as hggdh === wedgwood_ is now known as wedgwood === BradCrittenden is now known as bac === deryck is now known as deryck[lunch] === deryck[lunch] is now known as deryck [19:39] #123456 === hggdh_ is now known as hggdh === wedgwood is now known as wedgwood_away [23:31] i've got a odd problem. a script which uses the launchpad api suddenly started crashing on a host. this script uses "login_anonymously" and doesn't specify a cache directory. to "fix" it i specified a cache directory. where is the "default" cache directory that would normally be used? [23:47] nevermind, found it
