[00:27] <stokachu> has there been any discussion on porting launchpadlib to python3?
[00:31] <wgrant> stokachu: It's mostly awkward because the lazr.restfulclient tests depend on bits of Zope that aren't yet quite ported.
[00:32] <stokachu> ah ok

[07:12] <mgedmin> question about linking launchpad bugs with upstream bugs:
[07:12] <mgedmin> why must I specify a "project" (what even is a project)?  why can't I just paste the URL to the upstream bug and have Launchpad figure out everything else automatically?
[07:13] <mgedmin> e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/postgrey/+bug/981789
[07:13] <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 981789 in postgrey (Ubuntu) "Postgrey does not stop" [Undecided,Confirmed]
[07:13] <mgedmin> I gave up trying to link things because it asked me for a project, and 'postgrey' is apparently not a project
[07:13] <mgedmin> also 'debian' doesn't appear to be a project either
[07:13] <wgrant> Debian's a distribution
[07:14] <wgrant> You'd need to register a placeholder project for postgrey in order to create a second task referencing the upstream bug.
[07:14] <mgedmin> that's actually a good point
[07:14] <mgedmin> thanks
[07:14] <wgrant> If you mention the upstream bug URL in a comment, Launchpad will link to it and track its status in the sidebar, but it's not possible to add another row to the task table without having the project or distribution registered in Launchpad.
[07:16] <mgedmin> oh, cool!
[07:16] <wgrant> The Debian task has synced now, I see.
[07:16] <mgedmin> linking/status tracking is the important part; I just didn't know Launchpad could do that without displaying a row in the task table
[07:17] <mgedmin> I added the Debian task when you told me it was a distro and not a project :)

[14:34] <facundobatista> dobey, I'm sending mails to a LP private mail list, nobody is receiving it and I'm not seeing it in the list archive... however I still not sure if this is the proper place to ask :)
[14:35] <dobey> facundobatista: is it a new list?
[14:36] <dobey> i don't know if anyone is around that could help with that. it might be best to ping a webops person
[14:37] <facundobatista> dobey, thanks

[23:22] <linuxtech> The DPL talked about a how-can-i-help package at http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/11/msg00000.html and it uses a Debian bug tag gift, and stores the data in a little json file, to ask for help with particular packages.  Does Ubuntu and Launchpad have an appropriate tag that could be used for something similar in Ubuntu?  Does something like it already exist in Ubuntu?
