[05:33] <OwariDa> are there any launchpad-admins here? i have an urgent issue (client with intellectual property that needs to be taken down ASAP).
[05:34] <wgrant> OwariDa: Hi
[05:35] <OwariDa> wgrant: hi. are you a launchpad admin?
[05:35] <wgrant> OwariDa: I am. https://launchpad.net/~wgrant
[16:18] <satmandu> Can anybody here help me with a build question?
[16:45] <cory_fu> Greetings.  Are there any known (intermittent) issues with Launchpad right now?  I'm getting 502 errors from a charm trying to download a file from Launchpad: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/11909980/ (it's failing pretty consistently from the charm, but when I test it manually, it usually works fine)
[16:47] <teward> satmandu: perhaps if you asked your real question
[17:21] <satmandu> teward: sorry. I asked in the dev channel and got the answer I needed. thanks!
[21:55] <KaZeR> hi there
[21:55] <KaZeR> i have a few questions regarding launchpad, branches and translations.
[21:55] <KaZeR> we use launchpad to translate our project ( it's great ) but we don't use it to host the code, so we have some issues with translating templates for branches
[21:56] <KaZeR> can someone help me get this straight ? thanks!
[22:34] <blr> hi KaZeR, unfortunately I'm not that familiar with translations, but wgrant or cjwatson may be able to help you.
[22:47] <wgrant> KaZeR: Hi, can you explain the problem in some more detail?
[22:48] <KaZeR> sure. thanks blr and wgrant
[22:48] <KaZeR> in a nutshell : we host our code on github. we build the .pot files during our integration tests, and if the test are successful we upload the resulting template to launchpad. this part works
[22:49] <KaZeR> now, we need to work on a specific feature. we do that in a branch. but currently i haven't managed to find how to setup a different translation template to track that branch, so that we can start working on the translations without impacting the trunk template
[22:49] <KaZeR> so my question is two folds :
[22:49] <KaZeR> - how can i manually setup a branch to host a new template for a github branch ?
[22:50] <KaZeR> - in a perfect world, how can this be automated ?
[22:50] <KaZeR> thanks :)
[22:51] <wgrant> KaZeR: In Launchpad a "branch" is specifically a bzr repository.
[22:51] <wgrant> KaZeR: The non-VCS part is called a "series"
[22:51] <wgrant> As in "release series", eg. "1.x"
[22:51] <wgrant> Projects start with a default trunk series, and most just stick with that series, but projects that maintain parallel lines of development often create extras for exactly this sort of case.
[22:52] <wgrant> https://help.launchpad.net/Projects/SeriesMilestonesReleases explains the concepts
[22:52] <wgrant> But for your case you can just create a new series and upload templates to it. The templates are separate, but translations of identical strings will be shared between the series by default.
[22:53] <KaZeR> i tried that but something did not work as expected. Let me try again
[22:54] <KaZeR> to create a new serie, i should use the UI at https://code.launchpad.net/navit correct ?
[22:54] <KaZeR> mmm that seems to be branches instead
[22:54] <wgrant> The "Register a series" link on https://launchpad.net/navit
[22:56] <KaZeR> mmm
[22:57] <KaZeR> i already had a series registered. looks like i was able to import a template now. i don't know what i did to fail last time :)
[22:57] <wgrant> Great. You know where to find us if you run into anything else.
[23:04] <KaZeR> thanks. i'll perform more tests and will confirm if my issue is solved
[23:04] <KaZeR> looks like it as a chair-keyboard interface issue :)
