[00:17] <doctormon> The inkscape project would like to move it's downloads from sourceforge to launchpad because of the disreputable bundling going on at sourceforge. Our downloads are too big however and we need to talk to someone at launchpad about an exception to the upload rule.
[00:19]  * maxb thinks you'd be better off with https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion than IRC for official requests
[00:22] <doctormon> thanks maxb
[03:30] <HurricaneHernand> Hi I was wondering if anyone could help me mirror github project onto launchpad
[03:41] <FailBit> Is Launchpad's bug tracker known to work incorrectly with Abrowser?
[03:41] <FailBit> oh, never mind
[16:46] <teward> is it possible to use the bugs mail interface to manipulate series task bugs?
[16:47] <teward> such that 'karmic' bugs under ubuntu can be manipulated without affecting the other series task statuses for the same bug?
[16:55] <cjwatson> teward: Yes, start with " affects /ubuntu/karmic/PACKAGE"
[16:56] <cjwatson> (well, source package)
[16:56] <cjwatson> oh, hey, https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/EmailInterface#affects doesn't document that
[16:59] <cjwatson> ... it does now
[16:59] <cjwatson> teward: sorry, I should have said " affects ubuntu/karmic/SOURCEPACKAGE", without the leading slash there
[17:06] <teward> cjwatson: thanks
[17:10] <teward> cjwatson: if a specific bug status can only be set by bugcontrol, then I assume the account the email address is registered with in LP needs to have Bug Control to set that status?
[17:12] <cjwatson> teward: Right, it uses the same status-transition methods used by the web UI.
[17:15] <teward> cjwatson: there's no email interface to the sandbox / test instance, is there?  I don't want to work in production for testing, if I can avoid it... worst case i'll just pick two bugs against Karmic and try and edit them both in one email to edit@, but I'd rather not work in production
[17:17] <cjwatson> teward: I have to run now, but I think you can mail the corresponding address @bugs.staging.launchpad.net
[17:18] <teward> cjwatson: thanks, i'll test there
[17:18] <cjwatson> You can certainly try that at least
[17:20] <teward> cjwatson: indeed, test email sent, if it goes through then we'll know, otherwise meh
[17:20] <teward> again, thanks :)
[18:19] <teward> cjwatson: looks like the system is documented wrong - no confirmations are being sent from the email server back to the email sender so there's no evidence of the bug(s) being updated
