[13:20] <Odd_Bloke> cjwatson: wgrant: When I push to a repository that doesn't yet exist, how does that repo get created?  (Whatever creates it populates .git/HEAD with "ref: refs/heads/master" which doesn't necessarily exist)
[13:21] <Odd_Bloke> And then 'pip install git+ssh://...' will fail because it tries to work out if it needs to do a checkout by looking at what revision HEAD is (and can't).
[13:21] <Odd_Bloke> I know there are easy workarounds, just trying to determine if I should file a bug against pip.
[13:21] <Odd_Bloke> Or if LP's doing something strange enough to not warrant it. :)
[13:24] <Odd_Bloke> And, as a side note, I'd like to say thank you for the git support; it has made my life both less frustrating and more productive. :)
[13:45] <cjwatson> Odd_Bloke: I believe that there's no way to do this over the git protocol, but you can go to "Change details" on the repository and change the default branch; that will change HEAD
[13:45] <cjwatson> Odd_Bloke: compare https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1485578/change-a-git-remote-head-to-point-to-something-besides-master

[13:51] <Odd_Bloke> cjwatson: Thanks!
[15:01] <ricotz> hello, something seems wrong with the "i18n" folder here http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3-staging/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/
[15:04] <ricotz> it seems to be fatal for apt resulting in an non-updated local index for this ppa
[15:05] <cjwatson> wat
[15:07] <cjwatson> ok, there's no DirectoryIndex on that dir apparently, but "curl http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3-staging/ubuntu/dists/xenial/main/i18n/Index" is fine
[15:07] <cjwatson> what's the actual error from apt?
[15:08] <ricotz> Err:35 http://ppa.launchpad.net/gnome3-team/gnome3-staging/ubuntu xenial/main Translation-en
[15:08] <ricotz>   404  Not Found
[15:08] <cjwatson> oh for goodness' sake, ridiculous apache config
[15:10] <cjwatson> just a minute
[15:10] <ricotz> weird that this seems to result in the other downloaded arch/Index to be ignored
[15:13] <chrisccoulson> Is there any way to debug this build failure? https://launchpadlibrarian.net/250303158/buildlog_ubuntu-xenial-armhf.firefox_46.0~b6+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1_BUILDING.txt.gz
[15:14] <chrisccoulson> It's a crash, and it doesn't happen in devirtualized PPAs or on a porter box
[15:15] <cjwatson> chrisccoulson: try it in an armhf chroot on an arm64 porter box
[15:15] <chrisccoulson> cjwatson, thanks, will give that a try
[16:00] <ricotz> cjwatson, do you found a solution?
[16:04] <cjwatson> ricotz: yes, I've sent a puppet branch to our sysadmins, awaiting merge and rollout
[16:05] <ricotz> cjwatson, thanks! I am wondering why this is not happening to other ppas which pushed updates to today?
[16:06] <cjwatson> ricotz: it will only happen for xenial, and only to anything published after we changed index_compressors on xenial to drop bz2
[16:06] <cjwatson> which was a few hours ago
[16:06] <ricotz> I see
[16:07] <rbasak> Would someone mind looking at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/289683 for me please? It's already very late to be doing this transition and this blocks me on being more diligent about it first :-/
[16:08] <rbasak> (PPA quota increase)
[16:12] <cjwatson> rbasak: done
[16:14] <rbasak> Thanks!
[18:40] <cjwatson> ricotz: should be fixed now; thanks for the report
[19:12] <ricotz> cjwatson, thanks, confirmed that it works
[19:24] <karstensrage> is there anyone that can handle some backport requests?
[19:26] <dobey> karstensrage: #ubuntu-backports
[19:27] <karstensrage> there is no one in there
[19:28] <dobey> oh, maybe #ubuntu-motu then
[19:29] <karstensrage> well i tried motu, micahg said he would have time wed (yesterday) but hes dropped off irc
[19:29] <dobey> ok
[19:30] <dobey> well, maybe someone else can help you. it's not a launchpad issue though
[19:31] <karstensrage> ok
[21:14] <tsimonq2> karstensrage: #ubuntu-devel ?
[21:24] <karstensrage> tsimonq2, well ive tried them all
