[14:20] <qengho> Hi all.  I'm the signing uploader of a source package. The build fails.  What permission am I lacking in that I can not ask it to retry building, but some others can?
[14:20] <qengho> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/28.0.1500.52-0ubuntu2/+build/4749281
[14:34] <cjwatson> qengho: You're the signer, but you don't actually have upload permissions, I see - Chris sponsored that for you
[14:34] <cjwatson> qengho: Anyone with direct upload permissions can retry builds
[14:44] <qengho> cjw, thx.
[22:28] <autojack> is there a way to get Launchpad to keep more than one version of a package in a PPA?
[22:54] <lifeless> autojack: not in a single series, each series can have just one version of a package
[22:55] <autojack> what constitutes a series?
[22:55] <autojack> 1.0.0 vs. 1.1.0 ?
[22:57] <autojack> for example, I see that the nginx PPA has 1.0.14 and 1.4.1 versions of the same package and distro combination.
[22:57] <autojack> the reason I ask is, the guy who maintains the Node.js PPA is saying he can't keep e.g. version 0.8 and 0.10 in the same PPA.
[22:58] <autojack> I was just trying to figure out what the constraints/rules are.
[23:00] <lifeless> autojack: a series - a release of ubuntu
[23:00] <lifeless> precise, saucy etc.
[23:01] <lifeless> whats the url for the nginx ppa?
[23:35] <autojack> lifeless: sorry, I was in a meeting: http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/stable/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nginx/
[23:39] <lifeless> autojack: https://launchpad.net/~nginx/+archive/stable
[23:39] <lifeless> autojack: one per release of ubuntu
[23:40] <autojack> I see that there, but in http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/stable/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nginx/ I see e.g. nginx-common_1.0.14-1ppa1~precise_all.deb and nginx-common_1.4.1-1ppa1~precise_all.deb
[23:41] <autojack> how are those different, other than version number?
[23:41] <autojack> as far as I can tell, if I had that PPA configured on a Precise system I could in theory install either of those two versions.
[23:41] <lifeless> so there are some complex gc rules about when things are deleted
[23:41] <lifeless> I suspect a change in architecture support leading to a bug
[23:41] <autojack> ah interesting.
[23:41] <autojack> so you think this is just a fluke on the Launchpad side?
[23:42] <lifeless> positive
[23:42] <autojack> not normally supported?
[23:42] <autojack> interesting. OK then.
[23:42] <lifeless> wgrant: ^
[23:42] <lifeless> autojack: it is not supported, most definitely.
[23:42] <autojack> I was just trying to get a definitive answer re: the basic question of >1 version being supported.
[23:42] <autojack> so that's fine.
[23:42] <autojack> annoying for me, but I can understand why it would work that way.
[23:42] <lifeless> 1.0.14 isn't in the precise sources publication
[23:43] <lifeless> http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/stable/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/source/Sources
[23:43] <autojack> ahhh
[23:43] <lifeless> so I'm fairly sure LP thinks its gone, not sure why the old debs are being published still
[23:43] <trism> lifeless: it is in Packages though, at least on amd64 http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/stable/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages
[23:47] <lifeless> trism: yes, otherwise the deb wouldn't be there, but this is most definitely a bug, Such overlaps are meant to occur but only transiently.
