[09:49] <yolanda> hi, is there any way to generate credentials for launchpad for more than one week?
[09:50] <wgrant> yolanda: You tell Launchpad how long they should last when you authorise them in your web browser.
[09:50] <yolanda> wgrant, yes, but maximum period that allows is a week
[09:50] <wgrant> yolanda: "Until I Disable It"
[09:51] <yolanda> oh
[09:51] <yolanda> bad morning, sorry :(
[09:51] <wgrant> Heh :)
[09:54] <geser> wgrant: Hi, I noticed that the FTBFS page lists now also "Cancelled builds". Do they need a different handling than the usual FTBFS or the same? (don't remember seeing there a cancelled build listed before)
[09:56] <wgrant> geser: Anyone who can retry a build can also manually cancel it. That normally happens if you know it's going to fail, or take out a builder, or something like that.
[09:56] <wgrant> The status has been around for a few months, but I only noticed it wasn't on the FTBFS page during the arm64 bootstrap.
[10:02] <cjwatson> wgrant: Might be worth them having a different abbreviation, for searching.  (X) maybe?
[10:02] <cjwatson> geser: Indeed, the one build listed as cancelled there was cancelled because it hung.
[10:03] <wgrant> cjwatson: Yeah, I was going to make them X until I saw that the template just took the first character, so it would have required more alterations than I had time for immediately. But I'll do it soon.
[10:03] <wgrant> Also the CSS seems to have disappeared in one of my merges.
[17:01] <czajkowski> cjwatson: ello is there a mail to the TB waiting to go through from pleia ...
[22:05] <teolemon> Hi
[22:06] <teolemon> I'm a French translator, and I have a tiny issue: I gave maintainor rights to a random guy, on a project we're managing
[22:07] <teolemon> the project is https://launchpad.net/ubuntumanualautomated
[22:07] <teolemon> the guy is named…
[22:07] <teolemon> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-translator
[22:07] <teolemon> (yes, you can have a laugh at my expense :-) )
[22:08] <teolemon> the request would be to shirt the maintainer to the proper ubuntu-translators team
[23:36] <splatter> Need recipe help...
[23:37] <wgrant> splatter: What's the issue?
[23:37] <splatter>  Recipe is https://code.launchpad.net/~damien-moore/+recipe/codeblocks-daily
[23:39] <splatter> Need to run a script in rules called update_revision.sh to get the svn revision number to include in start page and about page
[23:40] <splatter> But update_revision.sh needs to be able to access either bzr or svn repo to do this.
[23:41] <wgrant> Only the source package is built in the presence of the bzr repository, and debian/rules is not run there, except for debian/rules clean.
[23:42] <wgrant> You're not meant to run arbitrary commands as part of a recipe.
[23:42] <splatter> So if I put a bzr info blah blah in rules clean: it should work?
[23:43] <wgrant> Uhhh
[23:43] <wgrant> Work? Likely. Not be evil? Unlikely.
[23:43] <wgrant> You'd have to be very careful.
[23:46] <splatter> It does look like our script gets called during the source package run, but it still doesn’t work. Here https://launchpadlibrarian.net/154048162/buildlog.txt.gz
[23:46] <splatter> Search for "found revision"
[23:46] <wgrant> Indeed. Have you tried test building with bzr-builder locally?
[23:48] <splatter> Understand concern about not being evil. Do you know what other project do to put rev info in their apps for nightly builds?
[23:49] <wgrant> splatter: I'm not sure. I've seen several just include the package version, though, to make it clear exactly which build it is.
[23:50] <splatter> Havent tried bzr-builder (wince). Will investigate. Code::Blocks gets lots of bug reports on their forums, including the svn revno is important.
[23:50] <wgrant> You can include the svn revno in the package version.
[23:51] <splatter> My last resort is to replace the auto bzr import with a manual one where I run the update_revision.sh script and then commit
[23:52] <splatter> I was trying to use svn-revno but got error message. Is that supposed to work for an auto imported branch?
[23:53] <wgrant> It should, but maybe it doesn't quite work on Launchpad yet.
[23:53] <wgrant> It might have been added in recipe format 0.4, which isn't quite there yet.
[23:54] <splatter> So for now I am using the bzr revno in the package name. Users are kind of a mess anyway, and probably wouldn't know how to get version number from package filename. Hence the need to get into start page / about box
