[00:00] <upsideout> so I can fill my 8 tb hardrives full of awesome software fo debian jessie and what nto
[00:00] <upsideout> for * not *
[00:01] <upsideout> wgrant,  I know that a lot of things should always stay public but maybe I can private message you to tell you why
[00:01] <exobuzz> sorry - ignore me..
[00:01] <exobuzz> brain glitch...
[00:01] <upsideout> or maybe we can work on this together
[00:01] <upsideout> dosent matter I have to make it happen
[00:01] <exobuzz> hmm.. or not. it shows as deleted at least, but remains.
[00:02] <wgrant> upsideout: PM me if you need, but things that can be public should remain public, so others can help and be helped by the discussion.
[00:02] <upsideout> but I would like to work with the people close to the code to make a better eco system
[00:02] <wgrant> upsideout: I don't understand what you're trying to do.
[00:02] <upsideout> wgrant,  so I have a debian autobuilder network
[00:02] <upsideout> just like debians in house one
[00:03] <wgrant> exobuzz: Deletions are not instantaneous.
[00:03] <upsideout> but i also want to be able to port things over to my auto build network from launchpad
[00:03] <wgrant> exobuzz: Files can take more than 24 hours to disappear once they're able to.
[00:03] <exobuzz> the delete was done 3 months ago
[00:03] <exobuzz> it still shows as deleted today.. but remains
[00:04] <upsideout> right so like fill the wanna build server from launchpad and also local
[00:04] <wgrant> exobuzz: Ah, you triggered a race condition.
[00:04] <wgrant> exobuzz: You deleted the source before the binary was published, so the initial delete in January didn't get the binary.
[00:04] <exobuzz> oh
[00:04] <wgrant> exobuzz: You seem to have just redeleted it now, which will have caught it.
[00:04] <exobuzz> so another deletion now will work ?
[00:04] <exobuzz> yeh
[00:04] <exobuzz> that's awesome - thanks for the help :)
[00:05] <wgrant> Yeah, source deleted three minutes after the build finished.
[00:05] <wgrant> So that explains it.
[00:05] <exobuzz> i uploaded to the wrong ppa and panicked.
[00:05] <exobuzz> :)
[00:05] <exobuzz> i should have been more patient - good to know for future
[00:05] <upsideout> always keep the best part back exobuzz  :)
[00:06] <wgrant> upsideout: So, why can't you just fill your wanna-build database from the Sources files that Launchpad produces?
[00:06] <upsideout> not sure
[00:06] <upsideout> I am trying to brain strom
[00:07] <wgrant> I'm not quite sure that this needs brainstorming.
[00:07] <upsideout> I just got a couple of TB and thought that mirroring and what nbot would be fun
[00:07] <wgrant> There are well-known ways to get packages into wanna-build, and they don't require a special Launchpad API.
[00:08] <upsideout> so you are saying htat I should some how have the sources file from launchpad portied to may dir for reprepro ?
[00:08] <wgrant> If you want to build a PPA for Debian locally, it would make sense to import all the sources from the PPA into whatever local repository setup you use.
[00:09] <upsideout> like use the dirs to download the sources from te branch's into my reprepro source dir so they build on timer or whatever
[00:10] <upsideout> seems simple
[00:10] <upsideout> I was over thinking it
[00:10] <upsideout> not even sure why I was thinking postgre
[00:11] <upsideout> dsc or nothing lol
[00:11] <upsideout> s|nothing|bust|g
[00:12] <wgrant> Right, there's no need for any information that's not in the published repository on ppa.launchpad.net.
[00:12] <upsideout> so I just either need to know URL or something to get that
[00:12] <upsideout> the dsc or whatever
[00:12] <upsideout> I do not want a array that big so . .
[00:12] <upsideout> maybe a api ?
[00:13] <upsideout> could be wrong in my thinking again
[00:13] <wgrant> What do you mean?
[00:14] <wgrant> A file like http://ppa.launchpad.net/wgrant/ppa/ubuntu/dists/utopic/main/source/Sources tells you everything you need to know.
[00:19] <upsideout> got it thanks
[00:20] <upsideout> really thanks
[00:21] <upsideout> that is kinda what I meant by brainstorm
[20:21] <ianorlin> hi I am having trouble signing into launchpad from any text mode browser as it claims I am a bot when I am trying to report a bug with ubiquity not launching in virtualbox for lubuntu
[20:23] <dobey> i'm guessing those browsers don't properly support a feature which launchpad requires as part of a security check to ensure you're not a bot :)
[20:33] <sarnold> ianorlin: if you run ubuntu-bug manually on a terminal, it should give you the option of copy-and-pasting  the url to a browser to fill in the text fields.. perhaps not as convenient as just having w3m work, but i tmight let you report the bug :)
[21:15] <ianorlin> sarnold: I haven't gotten that to work it says not found
[21:16] <dobey> sarnold: well if you have a DISPLAY it will just open your default browser too
[21:59] <sarnold> dobey: thanks, I couldn't recall the criteria it used to figure out if it hsould prompt you or just open the browser for you..
[22:01] <dobey> well if you don't have DISPLAY it might just open w3c or lynx or something
[22:01] <dobey> i think it just uses the python webbrowser.open() call, which runs sensible-browser, and if that fails you get the printout maybe?
[22:01] <ianorlin> dobey: I work around by installing openssh-server on the host and sftp the files to it on the host
