[00:21] How much time is needed for the change of the preferred contact address to take effect ? [00:36] NikTh: I'm not sure. @ubuntu.com email aliases aren't managed by Launchpad; they're maintained by a Canonical IS script that just looks at Launchpad users and their preferred addresses. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuEmail is the documentation. [00:38] wgrant: Thanks for the answer. What is matters most ? The preferred address in login.ubuntu.com or the preferred contact address in launchpad ? I guess the latest, but I need a second opinion. [00:38] NikTh: The latter. [00:41] wgrant: Is it necessary to open a question in "launchpad.answers" for the delay or I must wait for 24 hours at least ? What is your opinion ? Right now I have a delay of 4 hours almost. [00:43] I have changed the preferred contact address, but some messages still coming in old address. Especially messages from mailing lists where I'm a subscriber with the @ubuntu.com alias. [00:44] I just want to quickly add that I've been waiting a few days for my alias to change too. :) [00:44] benonsoftware: Thank you for the info. [00:45] So, the most appropriate will be to wait 24 up to 48 hours before I open a question for "Launchpad itself". [00:46] NikTh: Hm, did some document say to open a question? [00:46] Again, this isn't Launchpad functionality. [00:47] It's a script managed by Canonical's IS team that happens to scrape data from Launchpad. [00:47] The wiki page I linked suggests to email rt@ubuntu.com. [00:47] The Launchpad team can't assist with this. [00:49] wgrant: The wiki page you linked , I didn't read it ,yet. Sorry. I'm going for reading, right now. Thanks. [00:50] NikTh: Oh, you've only waited four hours so far? [00:50] AFAIK the script only runs daily at the very most. [00:50] But some changes can take much longer to happen automatically. [00:50] Four hours is nothing :) [00:52] wgrant: Thanks for the help. [08:39] wgrant: hello bro are u there? [08:43] wgrant: are u there brother?? [10:27] hello guys [10:41] wgrant: are u there brother? [20:16] hi, could someone explain https://code.launchpad.net/~netrunner-os/+archive/build-patch/+recipebuild/585780 [20:16] the version in the PPA doesn't have an epoch [20:16] but the one that it's trying to upload should have one [21:31] shadeslayer_: epochs are kind of weird - they count when it comes to evaluating version numbers, but don't show up in filenames everywhere you might expect them to [21:31] yeah [21:31] which is just weird [21:31] I bumped it to 0ubuntu1.1 [21:31] since I needed the epoch [21:31] I think it's likely an intentional decision in order to work better with un-epoched .orig.tar.gz files [21:32] Though clearly that looks a little on the pointless side when dealing with a native-format package === nesthib is now known as Guest46214 === Guest46214 is now known as nesthib [21:35] I think the general design idea is that versions should be unique even when ignoring the epoch, and the epoch is only there to force ordering comparisons to behave differently [21:52] Got it :) [21:55] the epoch is there to fix mistakes, thats all
