[09:51] <hay207> guys, in launchpad, i want to translate a certain project, but i see translations as closed
[09:51] <hay207> Translation policy
[09:51] <hay207> how to translate this project then ?
[10:36] <jonathon> Hi, I deleted a package [1] from a PPA [2] but it's still present [3] and being picked up by apt. How can I remove it entirely? [1] python-django [2] https://launchpad.net/~jonathonf/+archive/ubuntu/backports [3] http://ppa.launchpad.net/jonathonf/backports/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python-django/
[10:40] <jonathon> I deleted the package a week ago so it should have gone by now (according to https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Deleting)
[10:44] <jonathon> I suppose I can re-create the PPA, rebuilding packages to an intermediary PPA
[10:45] <wgrant> jonathon: You hit a race condition between the build and the deletion.
[10:45] <jonathon> Yay. Do I win anything? :)
[10:45] <wgrant> The source package was deleted before the build had finished, so the binary was published after the source was deleted.
[10:45] <wgrant> So the binary is still alive.
[10:46] <jonathon> Ah, right
[10:46] <wgrant> If you hit "Delete packages", change the "Published" filter to "Superseded", and then delete the already deleted source again, all should be good.
[10:46] <wgrant> It'll drop out of apt within 20 minutes, and disappear from ppa.launchpad.net in <12h
[10:47] <jonathon> Excellent, thank you
[10:47] <jonathon> That's easier than hopping packages between PPAs
[10:47] <wgrant> hay207: You need to be a member of the relevant language's translation team.
[10:48] <hay207> ok, but the language for that program was not even created
[10:48] <hay207> i.e no translation team yet
[10:49] <wgrant> hay207: Which project and language?
[10:49] <hay207> btnx , arabic
[10:49] <wgrant> The project may be using an existing translation group that already has a team for that language, even if the project doesn't have that translation yet.
[10:50] <hay207> https://translations.launchpad.net/btnx-config/trunk/+pots/btnx-config/ar/+details
[10:50] <wgrant> Ah, btnx-config rather than btnx.
[10:51] <wgrant> hay207: That project doesn't have a translation group configured.
[10:51] <wgrant> You'll need to talk to the project's owner.
[10:51] <hay207> ok, thanks
[11:16] <jonathon> Just confirming my issue was fixed. :)
