cavedonhi, is there any way to access the filesystem of a failed PPA build? the build is failing on trusty and saucy for *amd64 only* in something that is architecture independent. Also it is not failing in my trusty amd64 chroot.05:09
wgrantcavedon: How're you building it locally?05:09
wgrantIf it's only failing on amd64 on Launchpad, chances are that it's a build-arch vs build-indep issue. Try building with 'dpkg-buildpackage -B' locally.05:10
cavedonhey wgrant: I built with dpkg-buildpackage -b -uc05:11
cavedonlet me try05:11
cavedonthanks05:11
wgrantcavedon: -b builds both architecture-dependent and architecture-independent packages, -B builds just arch-dep, and -A just arch-indep.05:11
wgrantLaunchpad builds the arch-indep packages once, on i386.05:11
wgrantSo i386 builds are -b, amd64 builds are -B05:11
cavedonwgrant, that was it, I reproduced the error locally, thanks you, that explains it, I will fix it, thanks!05:12
wgrantExcellent05:12

dickelbeckHelp please with git import of https://github.com/KiCAD/kicad-library into bzr repo https://code.launchpad.net/~kicad-testing-committers/kicad/library07:51
dickelbeckI'd like for it to be updated daily, but it cannot complete the initial import.  This branch started at bzr, went to git where it will be maintained, and now I'd like it mirrored in bzr.07:52
StevenKThis branch is an import of the HEAD branch of the Git repository at https://KiCAD/kicad-library.git.07:57
StevenKI think you missed part of the URL07:58
dickelbeckThanks StevenK, I think the missing ".git" is making the difference.  It is progressing now.  Bye.08:03
dchhi in a recipe file, I want to over-ride the existing ./debian file from the upstream branch with a custom one. Is this possible?11:27
dchmerge lp~… didn’t seem to work out.11:27
=== jml_ is now known as jml
dobeydch: no, you can't merge. nest might have an override option, but i don't think it does11:49
dchdobey: thanks, I tried nest-part previously. hmm  any other ideas?11:50
dchalternatively I can fork, delete the unwanted parts, but that kinda defeats the point of having a common upstream11:50
dobeydch: is your branch a branch of the upstream trunk, with modifications to debian/?11:50
dobeydch: or do you have a branch that only has the contents of debian?11:51
dchdobey: only debian11:51
dchi.e. just the package parts11:51
dobeyif upstream already contains debian/ then you're really going have to maintain a "fork"  :-/11:52
dobeyor just fix upstream to do the right thing :)11:52
dchthat has been …. problematic11:54
dchlong delays, lots of pushing, then a flurry of grumpy work, then again nothing for months.11:54
wgrantdch: Why doesn't merge work?11:55
wgrantYou'd need the branch to be an actual branch of trunk, with the changes made to debian/, but that would work.11:55
dchwgrant: probably because I am completely new to .deb files & lp & bzr. the upstream has a ./debian folder too.11:55
wgrantBut nest-part should also work to replace debian/, IIRC.11:55
wgrantdch: Right, and I'd consider creating my own branch of the upstream branch, with the relevant changes to debian/ in that branch11:56
wgrantThen merge that in the recipe.11:56
dchwhat a mess ...11:56
wgrantHowso?11:56
wgrantBut if you don't want to do that, you can probably use nest-part.11:57
wgrantAh, apparently not directly.11:57
dchwell the underlying issue is an unresponsive maintainer who needs to be kicked to do stuff, never submits patches upstream, and doesn’t understand what’s being packaged.11:57
dchI also tried `run rm -rf debian` in between but that isnt going to work on lp anyway.11:58
wgrantdch: I'm not sure I understand what the problem is with just maintaining a full-tree packaging branch.11:58
dobeywgrant: maintaining a fork s a pain, epsecially when upstream already has debian/ and does things wrong12:01
dchwell I will log some bugs for the maintainer, and start a new package from scratch.12:02
wgrantdobey: You have to maintain debian/ whether you use a full-tree or packaging-only branch.12:02
wgrantThere's very little difference in overhead.12:02
wgrantFull-tree branches just happen to have a lot more files that you never need to touch.12:03

philsfhi, I have a local bzr branch I created in 2008, and I pushed to launchpad before I found out the format had changed. I bzr upgrad'ed the local branch, but pushing does not upgrade the remote branch, and now I can't build using LP recipes because of format mismatch. How can I upgrade the LP branch?16:42
lfaraoneIs there a way for me to find a user's Launchpad ID given an email address?17:16
lfaraonenevermind, right.17:18
lfaraoneI want to sync some Launchpad teams with an external database, that is, sync from the database to Launchpad. Would a patch to make this a Launchpad-run cronjob be accepted, or should I just create a role user who is an admin on the relevant projects?17:19

ekristenI've followed the instructions to upload a .deb to my ppa, dput says it successfully uploaded the packages, but I cannot see it on my ppa19:52
dobeyekristen: it must be gpg signed with the same key as you have uploaded to launchpad20:48
ekristendobey: yeah, it looks like launchpad.net doesn't support uploading .deb files directly20:48
dobeyyou can only upload source packages, right20:49

ekristenI managed to upload a source package, but I needed to change the control file to have some additional dependencies, now when I try and upload it it says "uploaded version has different contents"21:42
StevenKekristen: You must bump the version number.21:50

AnnaTrumbleI am looking to purchase a domain that seems to be owned by you guys. How do I go about doing that?22:08
AnnaTrumbleA few of us from my company have been attempting contact with you guys... Is this an effective way to chat?22:11
lifelessAnnaTrumble: which guys ?22:12
AnnaTrumbleBrittney Roberts and Ross Trumble22:13
AnnaTrumbleWait, which guys have we attempted contacting? We've been emailing help@launchpad.com22:16
wgrantWe own launchpad.net, but not launchpad.com.22:16
AnnaTrumbleThe emails would have been coming from my associates, Ross and Brittney. We haven't received a reply from anyone.22:16
AnnaTrumbleYes, .net22:16
AnnaTrumblewe've been contacting launchpad.net22:17
AnnaTrumbleDamn, I see that the domain is owned by launchpad.com22:18
AnnaTrumbleSorry! Wish my employees would have caught that previous22:19
AnnaTrumbleThanks for your time.22:19
saiarcot895Not sure if it is just me or what, but are Trusty build logs for Ubuntu packages not accessible? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser22:37
wgrantsaiarcot895: The trusty packages were copied from saucy, so have no build logs of their own22:39
wgrantLook for the saucy ones instead.22:39
saiarcot895wgrant: ah, didn't think about that22:39
StevenKwgrant: There's a proposed upload with no build logs22:39
StevenKOh, which was also copied. Handy.22:39
wgrantStevenK: That's the saucy security update22:39
