[00:11] <cjwatson> wgrant: It does indeed fix that bug, anyway.
[00:44] <wgrant> cjwatson: Yay.
[13:45] <cjwatson> 2015-10-13 18:15:37.484 10525 WARNING Too long db name: launchpad_ftest_template_10065_e95fa37c_71a7_11e5_961a_00163e9546d5
[13:45] <cjwatson> hmm
[13:45] <cjwatson> Maybe a UUID was a bit ambitious
[13:48] <cjwatson> Using uuid.hex would be enough to get us under the limit though
[15:23] <jtv> cjwatson: really going for scalability there, eh?
[15:34] <cjwatson> Totally!
[15:34] <cjwatson> (PIDs were clashing in practice sometimes, esp with LXC ...)
[15:36] <jtv> 16 bits is not a lot...
[15:36] <jtv> Then again, I've worked with long, randomised pids and those are no fun either.  :)
[15:36] <jtv> (Even if they are probably safer)
[15:37] <jtv> But security was more important than convenience...  For a few weeks I had no independent access to food, bathrooms, the outside, or the internet while doing my work.
[15:38] <jtv> You really get to hate those long PIDs through a slow, fixed-80-column Windows NT terminal emulator with acute line-break bugs after a while...
[15:38] <jtv> I mean really _hate_.
[22:44] <lifeless> wgrant: what happened to bug linking
[22:44] <lifeless> wgrant: was it behind a feature flag, or never delivered?
[22:44] <wgrant> lifeless: Never implemented.
[22:45] <wgrant> The team was vaporised days after you left :)
[22:45] <lifeless> ouch, thanks
[22:46] <wgrant> lifeless: We're vaguely working on arbitrary object cross-references, though.
[22:46] <lifeless> oh, that would be good
[22:46] <lifeless> if meta
[22:46] <wgrant> lifeless: question/bug/cve/spec links use generic infrastructure now, though the UI is not genericised yet.
[22:46] <wgrant> Just changed over the last couple of weeks.
[22:46] <lifeless> nice
[22:47] <wgrant> The plan is to genericise the UI, and then basic bug linking becomes easy, and we can work from there.
[22:49] <wgrant> lifeless: You probably recall the whole weirdness around multi-task bugs and bugwatches, though.
[22:49] <wgrant> Some cases of buglinking are handled natively by tasks.
[22:49] <wgrant> And external bugs can be linked to in a limited way.
[22:50] <wgrant> But linking to other internal bugs is not currently possible.
[22:50] <wgrant> And adding a third way is Fun™.
[22:52] <lifeless> yes
