[05:17] <slackner> hiho. i've been wondering, if there is any way for the wine project to acquire the launchpad user/group name ~wine, which seems to be reserved
[05:21] <slackner> when clicking on "Are you Wine?" it send an email with instructions to someone, but its noone of the wine team. maybe some random user who registered it back then? is there any other way to get that name, or is it better to register something else?
[05:23] <slackner> wgrant: ^
[05:45] <wgrant> slackner: I've freed up the name.
[10:33] <slackner> wgrant: thx :)
[15:19] <tsv> hi, is this the right channel to get help for launchpad multi-factor auth issues ?
[15:20] <cjwatson> tsv: Despite the hostname, login.launchpad.net isn't actually operated by us.  #canonical-sysadmin is probably best-placed to help.
[15:21] <tsv> thanks cjwatson, will do
[18:18] <pmjdebruijn> I have a package that seems to depend on trusty-backports
[18:19] <pmjdebruijn> can I enable that for my package build
[18:19] <pmjdebruijn> or do I have to locally backport it to my PPA myself?
[18:19] <pmjdebruijn> ibosmgpsmap-1.0-dev and friends in particular
[18:19] <pmjdebruijn> l*
[18:21] <dobey> you can change the PPA dependencies to include backports
[18:22] <dobey> using the "Edit dependencies" link in the top right on the page for your PPA
[18:23] <pmjdebruijn> ok thanks
[18:23] <pmjdebruijn> how does that work for general users though?
[18:23] <pmjdebruijn> will apt-add-repository tell them about it?
[18:23] <pmjdebruijn> or enable backports automatically?
[18:24] <dobey> i don't know about add-apt-repository. anyone wishing to use the PPA at that point would indeed need to have backports enabled on their system
[18:24] <pmjdebruijn> ok
[18:25] <dobey> if you don't want to require users to have backports enabled, you can copy the package from the archive to your PPA
[18:25] <pmjdebruijn> copy?
[18:25] <pmjdebruijn> you mean rebuild the sources right?
[18:27] <dobey> the binaries can be copied over, or you can rebuild the sources
[18:28] <pmjdebruijn> how does copying work?
[18:31] <dobey> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+copy-packages?field.name_filter=osm-gps-map&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=trusty
[18:32] <dobey> you can copy the binaries from there
[18:32] <dobey> there's a command line tool to do it as well, iirc, but i don't recall what it's called
[18:33] <pmjdebruijn> ah thanks
[18:34] <mapreri> the CLI tool is called "copy-packages" :P
[18:34] <mapreri> "copy-package" (sorry)
[18:43] <pmjdebruijn> thanks!
[18:51] <cjwatson> indeed, it's in lp:ubuntu-archive-tools
[19:05] <pmjdebruijn> tnx
[19:08] <smoser> anyone able to help

[20:04] <su_v> cjwatson: ping
[20:04] <cjwatson> su_v: Please tell me what you want and I'll reply when I'm around.
[20:04] <su_v> oops - good timing ;-)
[20:04] <su_v> just wanted to ask for another round of cleanup ...
[20:04] <su_v> https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape
[20:14] <Mc-> hi all, we got another massive spam posting at https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape
[20:27] <blr> Mc-: spam seems to be escalating at the moment, although it looks like we have already suspended that account. Hopefully we can get that cleaned up today.
[20:30] <Mc-> ok, thanks
[20:43] <Mc-> how can a suspended account still be posting ?
[20:44] <blr> Mc-: that's an excellent question :|
[20:45] <su_v> afaict different accounts ( the last three has been posted later, by a different user )
[20:46] <su_v> "dgjkkjl" vs "dsfkljk" (both now suspended)
[20:47] <Mc-> yeah but dsfkljk was already suspended 6 minuets ago
[20:47] <Mc-> (i think)
[20:47] <su_v> when I checked, the account was not suspended yet
[20:47] <Mc-> ok
[20:47] <su_v> (of the last three postings)
[20:47] <su_v> now it is
[20:48] <Mc-> i'll look more carefully at the name
[20:50] <cjwatson> I'll feed it to my despam script
[20:52] <blr> Mc-: it appears they _were_ suspended after their last post (suspension is working as expected).
[20:53] <Mc-> ok
[20:54] <cjwatson> dealt with the current run
[20:54] <Mc-> thx
[20:55] <cjwatson> it's all more technical support phone number spam, if wgrant is wondering
[21:09] <lifeless> cjwatson: blr has a find_links issue
[21:09] <lifeless> cjwatson: I'm guessing this is a buildout replacement approach - but find_links is basically dead :)
[21:13] <wgrant> lifeless: It's the only way to prevent setuptools from being stupid.
[21:13] <wgrant> lifeless: We need to prevent setuptools from ever hitting the Internet, even accidentally.
[21:15] <lifeless> wgrant: you don't need find_links for that
[21:15] <lifeless> wgrant: override the index location
[21:22] <cjwatson> do you have a specific suggestion for options to pass?
[21:23] <cjwatson> and yes, it's to some extent buildout replacement, but also "this is the best that seemed to actually work" :-)
[21:30] <lifeless> cjwatson: so yes
[21:30] <lifeless> cjwatson: step 1, create a local index; step 2 for pip pass -i <local index url>, for setuptools - sec while I look up the incantation

[21:31] <lifeless> cjwatson: ^
[21:31] <lifeless> first answer there is sane
[21:45] <blr> thanks lifeless
[21:53] <lifeless> de nada
