| cygus | hi | 07:03 |
|---|---|---|
| cygus | I have small question. | 07:03 |
| cygus | I'm looking to good ppa for have ubuntu lts up to date. | 07:04 |
| cygus | Please tell me whether launchpad is testing the pkg before it is published for users? | 07:05 |
| cygus | I mean testing for malware, backdoor and viruses. | 07:07 |
| mapreri | cygus: there is no testing whatsoever from launchpad. it's just a hosting facility. | 07:12 |
| cygus | ok, thx but launchpad is building deb pkg from deb-src uploaded by autor? | 07:15 |
| mapreri | yes | 07:17 |
| cygus | thx a lot | 07:17 |
| mapreri | everybody can upload a source package to a PPA, launchpad builds and publish it. | 07:17 |
| cygus | ok | 07:18 |
| cygus | is possible to protect ourself against bad pkg? | 07:19 |
| mapreri | cygus: choosing the PPA to use wisely would be good, e.g. don't use random PPAs if you don't trust them | 07:21 |
| cygus | thx | 07:21 |
| mapreri | maybe i'm missing something: but is it possible to use pad.lv to link MR? | 11:29 |
| cjwatson | mapreri: http://pad.lv/ doesn't suggest so | 11:43 |
| cjwatson | (we don't operate it) | 11:43 |
| mapreri | indeed, and i'm surprised | 11:44 |
| mapreri | cjwatson: is there a short launchpad url like https://launchpad.net/bugs/#### for bugs? | 11:44 |
| cjwatson | That's the shortest form of it on launchpad.net itself | 11:45 |
| mapreri | erm, i meant, like lp.net/bugs/### works for bugs, is there something similar for MR? | 11:46 |
| mapreri | (sorry for being unclear) | 11:46 |
| cjwatson | Ah, no | 11:46 |
| mapreri | sad | 11:46 |
| mapreri | then i'll stick with that long MR url :) | 11:47 |
| cjwatson | mapreri: It might be worth a bug report. It wouldn't be technically difficult to arrange, I think. | 11:49 |
| cjwatson | The IDs are already exposed in the URLs, so making /+merge/ID work wouldn't hurt anything. | 11:50 |
| cjwatson | (That's probably why pad.lv doesn't have a short form, since it doesn't have a way to look up MPs by ID right now.) | 11:51 |
| mapreri | guess it could use the API to figure it out? | 11:52 |
| * mapreri writes a bug up | 11:52 | |
| cjwatson | mapreri: No, because that's not exposed on the API either. | 11:52 |
| cjwatson | No branch_merge_proposals collection or whatever. | 11:52 |
| mapreri | ah, fun | 11:52 |
| cjwatson | mapreri: If you have a specific use case beyond "it would be nice if ...", do mention that in the report. | 11:53 |
| mapreri | i don't | 11:54 |
| mapreri | i'm just writing that url down in a file and i'm bother i have to go to newline :) | 11:54 |
| cjwatson | Heh | 11:55 |
| mapreri | cjwatson: do you also want a bug "please expose MR IDs in the API" or something? | 11:55 |
| cjwatson | If we were doing this I'd be inclined to do both at the same time, so it's probably fine to have those in the same report | 11:56 |
| mapreri | fine | 11:56 |
| cjwatson | Internally it's getUtility(IBranchMergeProposalGetter).get(id), should you wish to send a patch :-) | 11:56 |
| mapreri | -enotime :P | 11:56 |
| cjwatson | Worth a shot | 11:58 |
| mapreri | eheh | 11:58 |
| * mapreri is happy to leave you complete/rewrite the report :) (=I'm really bad at pointing out technical stuff about software I don't know about) | 12:02 | |
| mapreri | "If you want to you can help fix the bug you are reporting." reads like "Please fix the bug you are reporting." to me :D | 12:03 |
| StevenK | mapreri: The best kind of bug reports are the ones that include a patch ... | 12:04 |
| teward | can someone go and delete this comment made on a bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nginx/+bug/1483923/comments/2 looks like a nonconstructive post. | 12:47 |
| ubot5 | Ubuntu bug 1483923 in nginx (Ubuntu) "dpkg-divert breaks nginx installation" [Undecided,New] | 12:47 |
| teward | (specifically comment #2) | 12:47 |
| amerle | Hello I have a question regarding ethics. | 14:56 |
| amerle | I would like to contribute to one package which is in someone's ppa. | 14:57 |
| amerle | The code is located in his personal branches area (+junk) so there is no Launchpad project and I cannot propose my new commits. | 14:57 |
| amerle | That package did not have any active development in the past 3 years and I have tried to contact the original author but without success so far. | 14:57 |
| amerle | My question is: | 14:57 |
| amerle | Can I simply use his code to create a new project on Launchpad? | 14:57 |
| amerle | (In the source folder there is the GPL v2 statement) | 14:58 |
| teward | any lpadmin around to nuke a nonconstructive bug comment? | 15:23 |
| dobey | teward: hidden | 16:19 |
| dobey | amerle: you cannot change the license to something other than what is permitted by the current license, but you can "fork" the code and create a real project, sure. | 16:21 |
| dobey | amerle: if you wish to maintain said project anyway. :) | 16:21 |
| amerle | ok, good to know | 16:22 |
| amerle | thanks for the answer | 16:22 |
