[13:20] <glen> should i migrate to github instead?
[17:09] <littlegirl> Hey there, is there a way to flag a comment by someone in a bug report as spam, or is there someone I should notify if I think there is a spam comment?
[17:36] <littlegirl> In case anyone checks these logs after I log off, my question above is in reference to this Launchpad question: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/238236
[17:40] <demonimin> oh my, linkedin has slurped another mail account and spammed all the contacts
[17:43] <littlegirl> Yeah, it's pretty grim.
[17:50] <nuclearbob> I've got an api question, and thomi suggested I ask wgrant or lifeless
[17:53] <Schrodinger`Cat> re
[17:54] <lifeless> nuclearbob: so ask :)
[17:55] <nuclearbob> lifeless: if I have a task object in the python interface, is there any way of getting information on the owner or assignee without pulling down the full object?  I'm looping over a task list, and grabbing the people associated with each task slows down my script by a factor of about 20, so I'd like to try to aggregate all the users I want data for and then grab it at the end so I can get each user once
[17:58] <nuclearbob> for bugs, I can find the bug number from the task object's web_link, for instance, so I don't have to pull down every bug object associated with a task
[17:59] <lifeless> nuclearbob: from memory there is a _link attribute for all relations
[17:59] <lifeless> nuclearbob: so owner_link
[17:59] <dobey> nuclearbob: you can use searchTasks() on the persons or projects you're interested in only, and use the arguments to that, to filter out other things
[18:00] <lifeless> nuclearbob: and use the same pattern as for bug numbers
[18:01] <nuclearbob> lifeless: that's exactly what I needed, but it wasn't in dir(), so I didn't see it.  Thanks!
[18:01] <lifeless> nuclearbob: np
[18:01] <nuclearbob> dobey: thanks.  I've already got the task list, I was just having trouble getting from tasks to the associated people
[18:01] <dobey> what is a bug "owner" anyway?
[18:01] <dobey> "The owner's IPerson." doesn't say anything about what it means
[18:05] <dobey> and the documentation fo owner_link on the bug_task is "The owner"
[18:05] <dobey> not at all helpful :)
[18:06] <nuclearbob> dobey: I think it's just the person who filed the bug normally.  I'm not sure if that sometimes changes
[18:06] <lifeless> it's a wart
[18:06] <lifeless> LP has a few :)
[18:06] <dobey> i suppose on a bug it is the reporter of the original report, and on a bug_task it is whoever did the "also affects" that created that task
[18:07] <lifeless> there was a big 'lets separate out creator - capture this forever - and owner - current policy holder'
[18:07] <dobey> but that didn't seem to be the information that nuclearbob was looking for in the question asked
[18:07] <lifeless> effort, but it only got partway through the codebase
[18:07] <lifeless> this is a place where the split would have been just to rename owner->creator
[18:07] <nuclearbob> dobey: I wanted a unique identifier for the owner attribute without accessing the object for the owner attribute, which is what owner_link does for me
[18:08] <drstikko> can anyone tell me if it is needed to start a project to host code on launchpad or can one just upload code to his/her account?
[18:09] <dobey> drstikko: you can push code under ~user/+junk/yourbranch if you want
[18:51] <dobey> hmm, if i rename a team on lp, will all of the owned branches, and any merge proposals with those branches as targets, get updated properly?
[20:57] <drstikko> dobey: it worked thnx
[21:11] <KaZeR_> hi there. i'm looking for some help about handling translations for a project via launchpad. is this the right channel?
[21:13] <lifeless> sure
[21:13] <lifeless> just ask, someone should be able to help
[21:15] <KaZeR_> great. i want to automate the synchronization between our translation template and what we have in launchpad, but my template always go as 'needs review', so it kinda break the automation
[21:16] <KaZeR_> i'm using "translations-lp-upload -p navit -e trunk -t navit po/navit.pot "
[21:16] <KaZeR_> what am i doing wrong?
[21:17] <KaZeR_> also, when uploading .po files, they also go "needs review" and i have to update the template manually from the form (from "nothing selected" to "navit")
[21:20] <KaZeR_> just right now : translations-lp-upload -p navit -e trunk -t navit po/fr.po -> https://translations.launchpad.net/+imports/8006220
[23:15] <wgrant> dobey: Yes, renames rename everything.
