sasa84hello14:55
sasa84does anyone else have a problem with one string in transmission? http://screencloud.net/v/4huQ14:56
dobeyerror seems pretty direct to me15:04
ricotzhi, ppa-builder https://launchpad.net/builders/chindi02 might be broken15:05
cjwatsonlooking15:05
dobeys/might be/is/15:05
dobeyand it seems to be broken a lot and often :(15:05
cjwatsonAh, yes, Xen15:06
cjwatsonI've disabled it and I'll ask for it to be rebuilt15:06
ricotzcjwatson, thx15:06
cjwatsonI'll work on giving back the failures too15:07
cjwatsonSigh, been broken for a while, too15:09
ricotznone of my builds hit it until just now ;)15:10
czajkowskijamespage: ping15:33
jamespageczajkowski, hey15:33
czajkowskiello :)15:33
czajkowskifree for a quick pm ?15:33
czajkowskijamespage: ^15:36
jamespageczajkowski, sure15:36
cjwatsondobey: regarding sasa84's question, the problem would appear to be that the msgstr is of basically the same form as the msgid, and yet the error says that the msgstr doesn't look like a format string unlike the msgid15:57
cjwatsonI don't know a whole lot about LP Translations but it does look like a pretty weird message15:58
dobeycjwatson: well, i'm guessing LP probably doesn't validate the incoming pot file from the upstream untranslated string for msgids, but does validate when you try to submit a msgstr15:59
cjwatsonPerhaps, I don't know15:59
dobeyso yes, it's a problem with the upstream string.15:59
cjwatsonLP also shouldn't be saying things that aren't true15:59
dobeyit's not16:00
dobeythe error message given is true16:00
cjwatson"'msgstr' is not a valid C format string, unlike 'msgid'"16:00
cjwatsonif the part before the comma is true, then the part after the comma is untrue16:00
dobeyoh, right.16:01
sasa84hi cjwatson16:02
dobeyit's probably assuming that because it didn't fail to import, that it's valid. or the error is coming straight from a gettext tool16:02
cjwatsonMm, you may well be right that it's the latter; I don't see that string in the LP codebase16:04
cjwatsonSomebody who actually knows about LP Translations might know more16:04
dobeyregardless of any issue in lp or gettext, the upstream string is clearly broken and needs to be fixed16:06
dobey%'d is not any more valid than %&#x27d16:06
cjwatsonEr, is too16:07
cjwatson"'      For decimal conversion (i, d, u, f, F, g, G) the output is to be grouped with thousands' grouping characters if the locale information indicates any."16:07
cjwatsonprintf(3)16:07
dobeyoh. hrmm, that string is obsolete anyway16:12
dobeyit doesn't seem to exist in https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/saucy/transmission/saucy/view/head:/gtk/filter.c16:12
dobeyparticularly not on line 898 as mentioned16:12
cjwatsondobey: You can't rely on that, since the import failed: http://package-import.ubuntu.com/status/transmission.html16:15
cjwatsonWould require checking the actual source package16:15
cjwatson(And that's been failing for over a year)16:15
dobeyoh16:17
dobeyi wish *that* would get fixed so that the branches are always up to doate :(16:18

mfischis there a way to export/make a patch a set of changes from one branch into another non-related branch? This includes binary files, which is the issue.20:03
mfischI tried bzr export -r-2..-1 .. and the diff obviously doesn't include binaries20:03
dobeyi don't think so, no. not easily anyway20:13
dobeyyou could use xdelta to build a diff instead, that must be applied with xdelta20:20
mfischdobey: thanks, I did a patch + cp -a for the binaries20:25
dobeymfisch: are you trying to patch them into a .deb or something?20:26
mfischdobey: we have some customizations for ubuntu-touch, the branches diverged a long time ago, but we added a new feature today that can be shared20:27
bkerensaCan someone confirm how frequently LP does translation jobs?20:30
bkerensais it nightly or every two days?20:30
wgrantbkerensa: What kind of translation jobs? There are numerous.23:23
bkerensawgrant: generation of templates23:23
bkerensawgrant: right now launchpad is showing ubuntu-docs/saucy as 80% translated23:24
bkerensabut thats not accurate23:24
bkerensasince no translation work has been done on the saucy ubuntu-docs branch yet23:24
wgrantThat sounds like statistics updates.23:24
bkerensawgrant: and that takes how long?23:24
wgrantbkerensa: Translations are shared between series.23:24
bkerensayes23:24
bkerensaso23:24
bkerensaif raring had some strings alread translated then it would show that percentage in saucy?23:24
bkerensaif minimal changes were made?23:25
wgrantIf 80% of the ubuntu-docs/saucy strings are the same as ubuntu-docs/raring, saucy is 80% translated.23:25
bkerensak23:25
bkerensathanks for clarification on that23:25
bkerensaI will let translations team know23:25
Akiva-Serversorry for a newb question, but I had been using bazaar explorer for awhile, and the process of throwing my latest code up on launchpad was, a) Commit, then b) push. Now that I changed computers, and set up bazaar again, my push option is gone, and committing alone makes my code appear on launchpad... Did I fundamentally misunderstand something here?23:34
Akiva-ServerI was under the impression that committing is like putting on the wrapping paper, and pushing was about mailing it to launchpad.23:35
Akiva-ServerWhen I pushed, was I needlessly overwriting my old project or something?23:39
wgrantAkiva-Server: Bazaar also has the concept of checkouts (aka. "bound branches") that automatically push and pull from the remote server when you commit and update.23:39
wgrantIt sounds like you've got a checkout now.23:39
wgrantThey operate pretty much identically to normal branches, except that the push/pull steps are implicit.23:40
Akiva-ServerOkay, so is it more like realtime code editing?23:40
Akiva-Serverwgrant: And thanks for explaining that to me23:41
wgrantAkiva-Server: You still have to commit23:41
wgrantIt just looks a bit more like a centralised VCS, like Subversion.23:41
wgrantBecause commits always immediately go to the server.23:41
Akiva-Serverwgrant: Ah. I must of pushed checkout not realizing what it did, and thus it set this all up for me?23:42
wgrantAkiva-Server: Right. You can easily convert between a checkout and a branch using 'bzr bind' and 'bzr unbind', but I'm not sure if Bazaar Explorer has a button for that.23:43
Akiva-Serverwgrant: Great thanks.23:43
Akiva-Server+123:44
Akiva-Server!cookie wgrant23:44
Akiva-Serverlol, there is actually a bot here :P23:44
bkerensawgrant: is there anyway to track changes made to a project? Like see who has changed settings?23:47
