aeorilDoes anyone know why the diff for this merge proposal is so huge when I have only made minor changes to one file? https://code.launchpad.net/~aeoril/ubuntu/vivid/ubiquity/fix-for-1422113/+merge/25089410:02
aeorilI had previously accidentally submitted a merge proposal with the same branch name that included the files from debuild -S, but have subsequently deleted that off of launchpad, re-pulled a clean branch, applied my simple one-file code changes, then re-pushed it up.  However, that did not clean up the merge proposal diff.10:09
aeorilnote that when I re-pulled the clean branch, I did so in a new directory on my computer10:10
Laneyaeoril: presumably you want to propose it against lp:ubiquity and not lp:ubuntu/ubiquity10:12
aeorilLaney ok - I just found this:  https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/48394510:13
ubottuLaunchpad bug 483945 in Launchpad itself "No way to ask Launchpad to refresh a stale diff" [Low,Triaged]10:13
LaneyIt's not a stale diff10:13
aeorilLaney why is it so big then?  Because I proposed it against the wrong thing?10:13
LaneyYou just asked it to diff against a different thing10:13
aeorilok, thanks10:13
Laneynp!10:14
aeorilLaney wow!  That worked great!  I submitted my first fix for merge!  Why did launchpad automatically fill in lp:ubuntu/ubiquity if it was wrong when I went to do the merge?10:20
Laneyaeoril: because of the branch you pushed to10:21
Laneyif you'd used lp:~/ubiquity/some_name it would have been right10:21
aeorilI thought so - I was following a tutorial that said to do that10:21
aeorilok, now I know better Laney.  Thanks again!10:22
LaneyYou used the scheme for packaging branches but this is an upstream one10:22
aeorilLaney but upstream for Ubuntu, right?10:22
LaneyYes, the distinction is a bit blurry in ubiquity's case :)10:23
aeorilLaney ok, thanks!  I hope it is acceptable to the reviewer and works as it did for me in my tests!10:23
LaneyThey have a channel #ubuntu-installer FWIW10:24
aeoriloh, cool - I wish I had known that earlier!10:24
aeorilI have been very nervous about doing this right - since it is my first fix ...10:25
aeorildarkxst on #ubuntu-devel helped me do this whole thing, but he did not know what to do about the merge proposal problem10:26
aeorilLaney I am certainly glad I came to #ubuntu-motu, though!10:26
Laneyheh10:27
Laneywell, thanks for your fix!10:27
aeorilLaney I just hope it is all correct!  I did my best!10:27
aeorilLaney do you have time to look it over?  It is very simple ...10:27
Laneyaeoril: Not me, but someone from the installer team should get to it v. soon10:28
aeorilLaney ok, cool - thanks again!10:28
Laneyand if not, you know where to find them now10:29
aeorilyes, I do10:29
aeorilLaney it was an interesting "first fix" because I had to boot a LiveCD and then scp the .debs, install them, then manually run ubiquity to test10:29
