psusihow do you reassign a bug via email?  wasn't there an unaffects command or something?00:59
dobeyi'm not sure it's possible to mark something as no longer affected in a bug, via e-mail. i think you need to hit the red (-) icon on the web site.01:10
psusiI could have sworn there was a way to reassign a bug to another package via email... hrm...01:15
psusisay... can someone help me sort out launchpad with my gpg key?  I made a new subkey last night since the old pair are about to expire, and pushed them to keyserver.ubuntu.com, and they show up when I search there, but lp is still saying it can't verify signatures made with the new key01:16
psusiugh.. nevermind, it's just thunderbird being stupid with line wrapping and enigmail01:29
psusinope, I am going to need some help debugging this because it's really fscked up02:13
psusilaunchpad keeps saying it can't verify the signature... I thought it was thunderbird's fault because when I opened the source, copied it, and pasted it into a gpg -v, it also said bad signature... but when I save the message and run gpg on the saved file, it says the signature is good02:14
psusiI noticed that when I copy/paste, an extra space gets inserted into the message at a certain point so something is causing tbird to corrupt the data when it copies it... don't know if it is related or not to why lp doesn't like it02:15

delcypherI'm having an issue reuploading a package to my PPA. I made a mistake in the original version I uploaded which caused the build to fail. I deleted the package from the web interface but when I try to repupload using dput I get an e-mail saying "Rejected: File z3_4.3.1-0ubuntu1~trusty1.debian.tar.gz already exists"10:11
delcypherI should say that the reuploaded package source is modified. I don't understand why launchpad is keeping the *.debian.tar.gz file after I removed my broken package from the PPA10:12
geserbecause you can't reuse package versions once they got accepted10:13
delcypherThat would make sense if I hadn't deleted the broken package from my PPA but I've deleted it so surely the *.debian.tar.gz should be deleted too no?10:15
wgrantThey are remembered forever to avoid confusion.10:15
wgrantIf you change the package, you must change the version.10:16
delcypherwgrant: Okay I'll change the version then10:16
delcypherby the way should I be using the "ubuntu1" inside my version? I haven't made any ubuntu specific changes to my package so maybe it should not be part of the package version.10:18
cjwatsondelcypher: Versioning in your own PPA is essentially up to you, except for a few fixed constraints like can't-reuse, and if your package derives from a version somewhere else or might later be incorporated into other archives then there are some considerations there.  https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/BuildingASourcePackage#versioning has some general advice.10:22
delcyphercjwatson: Thanks10:30
delcypherIs it possible to have a PPA contained multiple versions of a package e.g. 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 ? I originally uploaded version 4.3.2 of a package but I discovered that I needed 4.3.1 too. I tried uploading 4.3.1 put launchpad refused to accept an older package so I found I had to delete 4.3.2 from my PPA first.10:32
maxbNo, uploading a newer package automatically supersedes older versions10:33
cjwatsonNot in a single series.10:33
cjwatsonBut you can trivially have multiple PPAs.10:33
delcypherOkay. I now have version 4.3.1 in my PPA so if I upload 4.3.2 to my PPA 4.3.1 will no longer be available (even if someone does apt-get install mypackage==4.3.1)?10:34
maxbWhat you choose to do depends mostly on whether the multiple versions are supposed to be installable side by side on a single system or not. Is that the case here?10:34
maxb(installed simultaneously, that is)10:35
delcyphermaxb: The packages are not intended to be installed side by side but it would be nice is multiple versions of the package were available from the same PPA. If that is not possible I guess multiple PPAs are an option.10:36
maxbMultiple PPAs are the easy way for you. Doing it in one PPA would require using distinct package names for each release series. i.e. mypackage-4.3.1 version 4.3.1-110:37
maxbWhich is entirely possible but more work to vary the package build files10:38
maxbYou can see a similar approach used in Debian/Ubuntu for the python packages10:39
delcyphermaxb: Sorry for my ignorance but aren't the package names already distinct? I would have mypackage-4.3.1 and mypackage-4.3.2 so those are distinct right?10:39
delcyphermaxb: or is the part after "mypackage-" not considered part of the name?10:40
maxbWhen I say name, I'm referring literally to just the name, not the version. So the package file on disk would be mypackage-4.3.1_4.3.1-1_amd64.deb10:41
maxb(Debian/Ubuntu use _ for the component separator)10:42
delcyphermaxb: Okay that makes sense. It's a little more work as I would need to add "Conflicts" to my control file but the package I'm building does not make frequent releases so this probably acceptable.10:49
cjwatsonIt is not currently possible to have multiple versions of a single package name available in a single series from the same PPA.  It's true that apt supports this, but we don't want PPAs to be growing without bound as people upload more and more superseded versions, so this would need to be off by default with some kind of management interface, which would be a fair amount of work to design and implement.10:50
delcyphercjwatson: Fair enough.10:51
delcypherOkay thanks for the help :)10:51
lifelesscjwatson: wouldn't quotas take care of the bounds thing?10:55
cjwatsonlifeless: It would still be cumbersome to maintain without a fair bit of extra work.10:59
wgrantAnd it's useful in very few scenarios.10:59
cjwatsonAnd it wouldn't be ideal to have a bunch of what would normally be 100MB archives all bumping up against quotas due to unpruned binaries that nobody actually cares about, either.10:59
lifelessfair enough11:00
cjwatsonBut, true, "without bound" was sloppy phrasing.11:00
lifelessI just think LP sometimes overthinks things11:01
lifelessand was wondering whether the low-key approach might work11:01
cjwatsonTrue to some extent, but unpruned binaries really would be a very common case if we never dominated PPAs ...11:01
cjwatsonEven the relatively rare case of unpruned NBS kernel binaries is fairly awkward to deal with right now, IIRC11:02
lifelessright, midnight. I must off.11:02

nickoeIs there any way to mark already fix committed   bugs with fix released without spamming people?22:21
dobeynickoe: anyone subscribed to the bug will get an email with the change notice.22:48
nickoedobey: yeah, and that means a lot of mails.22:57
nickoedobey: hundreds of mails, if there are hundreds of bugs marked with fix committed.22:57
dobeyyes, well23:01
dobeyi guess people might want to know if the bug was fixed, that's why they subscribed to it23:01
nickoedobey: Is there an easy way to mark all fix commited bugs as fix released?23:05
dobeynickoe: a python script using the API23:05
nickoeok23:06
nickoedobey: Do launchpad have a playground for playing around with api, not to change anything live or the ned for creating a sandbox project?23:06
dobeynickoe: staging.api.launchpad.net server23:07
dobeyor api.staging.launchpad.net23:07
dobeyit's one of those two23:07
nickoeOk, thank you.23:07
* nickoe thinks it is annoying that there is no option in lp to auto subscribe to a bug that I have written or changed anything in.23:09
dobeyfile a bug :)23:12
nickoedobey: Does that staging copy the data from the real once in a while or?23:12
nickoedobey: It was there last time I searched, and it was like five years old.23:13
dobeynickoe: i don't think so23:13
nickoeseems to be copied at least from 2014-07-0323:13
dobeymaybe it is. i don't recall23:14
dobeybut you can create a set of bugs (and milestone, etc if needed) with the same structure, and test with those23:14
