[14:55] <qengho> A heads-up: I just tried to visit lp /ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser, and got a Timeout Error in less than 2 seconds. Something squirrelly might be going on.
[14:57] <qengho> Resolved at reload. It was just too weird to ignore.
[20:01] <paulb> Can I get some (hopefully) quick help in packaging up a binary into a ppa?
[20:04] <qengho> I have some PPAs that I want to push daily packages to. Is there a way to make old package expire automatically so I don't run out of space every few days?
[20:07] <dobey> qengho: superseded packages do automatically expire. you can maybe ask for more space, but i think librarian is a bit low on space as it is, at the moment
[20:08] <dobey> paulb: you can only upload source packages to a PPA
[20:16] <paulb> dobey: Is this possible?->  I want to down JDK 7 from Oracle's site as a .tar.gz, package that up, and put it on launchpad.  Is this not possible because they do no provide sources?
[20:19] <WizardGed> hello i was wondering if launchpad is having issues atm
[20:19] <WizardGed> im translating and launchpad times out again and again
[20:19] <WizardGed> i can provide error id's if need be
[20:20] <platouche> WizardGed: I also have a lot of times out when I'm translating directly from lp
[20:21] <WizardGed> yeah im recording timeouts in case anyone's interested later
[20:23] <dobey> paulb: no, you cannot do that
[20:33] <paulb> dobey: Ok thanks, I think we'll create our own debs and host a apt repo on our local server instead...
[20:45] <dobey> paulb: there's a PPA that has an installer that installs the oracle java 7, already
[20:45] <dobey> paulb: i'm pretty sure the tarballs oracle provides do not include rights to redistribute
[20:49] <WizardGed> looks like launchpad has ground to a stop on my end.
[20:49] <WizardGed> i cant even load a new page
[20:55] <dobey> working fine here (though i'm not translating things)
[21:01] <WizardGed> thanks dobey, ive been recording the error id's to see if i can figure it out later
[22:21] <wgrant> paulb: Not just because they don't have sources, but also because Oracle's Java license forbids redistribution. It's no longer possible to legally distribute packages of Oracle's JDK yourself.
[23:04] <phillw> hi... any one about familiar with ppa?
