[04:00] <SusieQ> I would like to know if the speed issues accessing ppa.launchpad.net are affecting everyone?
[09:55] <Laney> how long are packages supposed to remain in Packages for after they are deleted?
[09:55] <Laney> I just got python-pexpect 4.0.1-0~ppa1 from ~ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu/ppa but didrocks apparently deleted it on 2015-10-19
[09:55] <Laney> if https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages?field.name_filter=pexpect&field.status_filter=&field.series_filter= is right
[10:45] <glen> hi. i have some automatic bzr->translations setup for a project
[10:46] <glen> but i can not find place where it is configured
[10:46] <glen> launchpad interface has always struck me as really complex and least documented
[10:46] <glen> anyway, i've migrated to git, and i would like the automatic translatsions commits apepar in git repo from now on
[10:48] <glen> the project i'm speaking of : https://code.launchpad.net/eventum
[10:49] <glen> and the branch that is used for translations auto commit https://code.launchpad.net/~glen666/eventum/po
[10:49] <cjwatson> we don't yet support automatic translation commits to git, unfortunately; it's one of the things on the backlog for full parity with bzr
[10:51] <glen> can i do that somehow differently, like setup git->bzr pull and then do the translations thing?
[10:51] <glen> ps: where is that translations commit configured, i can not find it anywhere logical i tried to look
[10:55] <cjwatson> https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/YourProject/Exports#Committing_translations_to_a_Bazaar_branch
[10:57] <cjwatson> I don't think you can sensibly do it by way of imports; you'd need bzr->git imports and LP doesn't do those automatically (that would be rather more work to implement than automatic translation commits!)
[10:57] <cjwatson> a git->bzr import won't work because you can't commit directly to one of those
[11:01] <glen> so, perhaps i just create emopty bzr repo containing only .pot
[11:01] <glen> and manually (outside launchpad infra) commit that .pot once it changes
[11:03]  * cjwatson updates the Exports page a bit
[11:03] <cjwatson> I'm not sure what that would gain you
[11:04] <cjwatson> you could cron something externally that does a translation export from LP and updates the relevant git branch with that
[11:05] <cjwatson> and if you want to have LP auto-import translations as well, then for now, you could have LP maintain an automatic git->bzr import and import translations from that
[11:05] <cjwatson> I don't see any benefit to having a pot-only bzr branch though
[11:20] <glen> i see the benefit that don't have to merge the changes, .pot is changed rarely, whole whole repo more often
[11:20] <glen> also i did have bzr2git script, but it broke at some point.
[11:21] <glen> can i change old bzr repo to use git sync instead? how?
[11:21] <glen> (that is different topic)
[11:24] <cjwatson> but if you're doing commits externally anyway, no merging needs to be involved - just commit the translations directly
[11:24] <cjwatson> I hope we'll have git-to-git imports relatively soon, but we haven't started on the necessary infrastructure yet
[11:34] <glen> so, can i commit .pot update directly to https://code.launchpad.net/~glen666/eventum/po ?
[11:58] <cjwatson> you can, I'm still not sure what you gain from that if you aren't actually using the bzr branch for code development, you might as well just upload it directly to LP
[12:06] <glen> i can do scripting to bzr automatically, uploading directly to lp is manual work
[14:20] <teward> i have a question.  how does automated duplicate detection work for bugs in the Ubuntu project on Launchpad?  Is there some signature that is used to detect some duplicates?
[14:22] <cjwatson> teward: not implemented by Launchpad itself, apport or apport-duplicates or something like that does it
[14:30] <teward> cjwatson: OK, so should I poke -devel ?
[14:30] <cjwatson> sure
[14:53] <Jack_> Hi
[14:54] <Jack_> I'm trying to install a package called Zeal but getting the following error:
[14:54] <Jack_> E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[14:55] <Jack_> I have tried:
[14:55] <Jack_> $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zeal-developers/ppa $ sudo apt-get update
[14:58] <cjwatson> Jack_: what Ubuntu release are you running?
[15:00] <Jack_> 12.04
[15:00] <Jack_> cjwatson:
[15:00] <cjwatson> Jack_: That PPA only publishes packages for 14.04, 14.10, and 15.04.  We only maintain the hosting infrastructure, and it's up to PPA owners to decide what releases they want to support
[15:00] <cjwatson> Jack_: https://launchpad.net/~zeal-developers has contact details
[15:01] <Jack_> Oh I see, so I would probably need to build myself?
[15:02] <cjwatson> Jack_: that or ask them to help, yes
[15:02] <Jack_> OK, thank you cjwatson :)
[16:37] <teward> the armhf ppa builders are still virtualized right?  Or are they physical yet?
[16:54] <cjwatson> teward: you have that one backwards, sort of
[16:55] <cjwatson> teward: current state: armhf builds for the Ubuntu primary archive and for certain privileged PPAs run on unsandboxed physical hardware; armhf builds for PPAs run on x86 systems using qemu-user-static
[16:56] <cjwatson> teward: we're part-way through setting up a new system in which all arm64 and armhf builds will be virtualised on arm64 hardware
[19:10] <__marco> Hello. Times ago I built a package. Now I would like to update that package but I don't know how
[19:11] <__marco> I downloaded the source (apt-get source blabla), made the modifications, updated the changelog and uploaded the .changes file again (debuild -S -sd)
[19:12] <__marco> but the package is not showed and the builds not launched
[19:15] <dobey> source packages must be signed with a valid gpg key that matches the one configured for your launchpad account
[19:15] <dobey> otherwise you will not get an e-mail about the upload being accepted or not, and it will not appear in the PPA
[19:23] <__marco> dobey: can I update a key in the keyserver?
[19:24] <__marco> just to extend the expire time
[19:24] <__marco> in the keyserver or in launchpad (it says that the key is already imported)
[19:25] <tumbleweed> yes you can
[19:25] <dobey> you have to update the keyserver, yes
[19:26] <__marco> I updated the key in the keyserver but I don't know how to import the key again in launchpad
[19:26] <__marco> or maybe I don't need it
[19:26] <dobey> you don't i don't think. launchpad just has the fingerprint
[19:26] <__marco> I try
[19:30] <__marco> Successfully uploaded packages... but I cannot see them in the ppa
[19:32] <__marco> sorry... I did not complete the activation procedure
[19:37] <__marco> dobey: tumbleweed thanks a lot. It worked
[19:37] <__marco> dinner time
[19:37] <__marco> bye
[19:53] <teward> remind me how I make a branch of my own that's based off another group's branch so that I can propose a merge request?
[19:53]  * teward forgot :/
[19:53] <teward> or rather, how to push my 'modified' branch to LP
[19:54] <dobey> bzr push lp:~teward/project/branch
[19:55] <teward> thank you
