[08:02] <erichammond> I got the latest version of launchpadlib using bzr, which appears to be 1.10.2, but it still does not seem to have archive.copyPackage() as documented in https://launchpad.net/+apidoc/devel.html#archive  What am I missing?
[08:03] <wgrant> erichammond: That doesn't require a launchpadlib upgrade. Are you sure you're telling it to use the 'devel' API version?
[08:04] <wgrant> eg. Launchpad.login_with('my app', 'production', version='devel')
[08:04] <erichammond> wgrant: *that's* what I'm missing.  I'll give it a shot.
[08:05] <coresnake> hi guys im having trouble logging into launchpad, i made an account ages ago and i dont remember email, i want to chagne the information on the page because I dont want google to cache it with my real name anymore, can someone help me please?
[08:05] <erichammond> wgrant: much better, thanks!
[08:06] <wgrant> coresnake: What's your Launchpad username?
[08:06] <coresnake> this is the page https://bugs.launchpad.net/~redacted/+assignedbugs
[08:06] <coresnake> i think username was coresnake

[11:18] <b8e5n> Hello people, I tried to build an application using launchpad auto generation, but it crashes. I am reposting my problem.
[11:18] <b8e5n> Repost :
[11:18] <b8e5n> I am trying to build a package recipes from launchpad, but it crashes. If I build with the same recipe locally it works. It crashes while it's trying to rebuild the Tar.
[11:18] <b8e5n> here is the crash report: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/146919411/buildlog.txt.gz
[21:05] <punter> I'm new: When I upload a source package to launchpad, does it automatically get built for every (recent) release of Ubuntu? If not, is there an automatic way to do it other than submit many times?
[21:06] <beuno> punter, it doesn't  :)
[21:06] <punter> :-)
[21:06] <beuno> you can either use recipes to build from a branch
[21:06] <beuno> or you upload every 6 months, when there's a new version
[21:06] <beuno> but it needs to be built for each Ubuntu version
[21:07] <beuno> https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/SourceBuilds/Recipes
[21:07] <punter> so I execute dput once for each release
[21:07] <punter> ok
[21:07] <punter> aha
[21:07] <punter> thanks for the link
[21:07] <beuno> is where recipes are explained
[21:07] <beuno> that's probably on the fancy side
[21:08] <punter> My perl module gets updated every month, and I want my PPA to be kept updated. I guess that means I have to build 3 times each month (once for each release)
[21:08] <punter> Recipes are for bazaar? I use git
[21:08] <punter> Or could I use both?
[21:10] <beuno> punter, you can import the git branch into bzr in launchpad automatically
[21:10] <dobey> punter: you'd have to create a  branch on launchpad that imports from the git
[21:28] <punter> I tried uploading my package a second time for a different ubuntu release, and got a rejection email because the same .tar.gz already exists
[21:28] <punter> What should I do? Just rename the new .tar.gz to something else and retry?
[21:28] <punter> will dput work then?
[21:29] <punter> File libxml-myxml-perl_0.0993-1.debian.tar.gz already exists in Jabber-related packages, but uploaded version has different contents
[21:30] <punter> What's the way to go?
[21:35] <punter> anyone? :(
[21:36] <punter> :'(
[21:37] <dobey> you can't upload the same version to different series
[21:37] <dobey> you should append ~$SERIESNAME$BUILDNUM to the version string in debian/changelog before generating the source package and uploading
[21:37] <dobey> using recipes does that automatically
[21:38] <dobey> but for manual uploads, you need to do it manually
[21:38] <punter> series = ubuntu release?
[21:38] <dobey> note that is a ~ (tilde) not a dash; do not put multiple dash characters in the version string
[21:38] <dobey> yes
[21:38] <dobey> precise/raring/saucy/etc
[21:38] <dobey> so ~precise1 for example
[21:39] <punter> ok...
[21:39] <punter> let me try that
[21:40] <punter> Which part of the changelog file should I add that tilderelease?
[21:40] <punter> to?
[21:40] <punter> the version number?
[21:40] <punter> so (0.0993-1) should become (0.0993-1~precise1) ?
[21:41] <punter> (dobey)
[21:42] <dobey> yes
[21:42] <punter> thanks!
[21:42] <dobey> well, your version number should have a little more in it than that probably
[21:43] <dobey> but that should work
[21:43] <dobey> like 0."0993-0ubuntu1~precise1" is what i'd use
[21:55] <punter> Magic, worked like a charm! https://launchpad.net/~karjala/+archive/jabber
[21:55] <punter> dobey: why would you use the word ubuntu in your version number?
[21:57] <punter> Why is i386 the only architecture mentioned in Build Status? https://launchpad.net/~karjala/+archive/jabber/+packages
[21:58] <dobey> punter: because you're building it on ubuntu, not debian. and packages in debian only get the -1 if they are in debian and that's the first build of that version in debian
[21:58] <dobey> punter: and it only shows i386 if it's an Architecture: all package, because it only builds it once, and is installable on all architectures
[21:59] <dobey> and arch all packagets only build on i386
[22:00] <punter> indeed the same build is installable everywhere (it's a pure perl library) - but what if that were not the case? Should I have listed all architectures to have the software get build on each one?
[22:00] <punter> Are most of my questions answered in the docs? Should I stop bothering you people?
[22:01] <dobey> 'any' will build on all of them. for packaging questions #ubuntu-packaging is a better place than here
[22:01] <dobey> and yes, most all the questions are answered in the docs
[22:01] <punter> ok
[23:15] <DarkPlayer> hello, i have a problem with my code import from a git repository. Somehow launchpad is unable to update the bzr brach and tries to sync it every minute, but i can not see any errors in the log: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/147502572/mqchael-pipelight-master.log
[23:17] <DarkPlayer> git clone works without any issues
[23:26] <wgrant> DarkPlayer: Imports from some HTTP git servers don't update properly at the moment (bug #1072461). Is that repository exposed over any non-HTTP protocols?
[23:27] <DarkPlayer> wgrant: The git is also exposed via ssh, but thats not supported (by launchpad)
[23:31] <DarkPlayer> wgrant: is there at least any way to stop launchpad from importing it every minute without deleting the branch?
[23:31] <wgrant> DarkPlayer: I've suspended it.
[23:31] <wgrant> It won't update until we fix that bug.
[23:32] <DarkPlayer> thanks
[23:47] <DarkPlayer> wgrant: is there any plan to fix this issue in the near future ?
