| ali1234 | the trouble with PPA is it makes reporting bugs unnecessarily difficult. which is totally not your fault, i've been asking for launchpad/apport to support bug reports against PPAs for years | 00:26 |
|---|---|---|
| ali1234 | on balance a PPA is probably the most sensible way still | 00:27 |
| Unit193 | Can't use an apport hook to re-assign it? | 00:43 |
| ali1234 | i don't know. all i know is "ubuntu-bug" will refuse to submit a report if you are using ppa packages | 00:46 |
| ali1234 | not for everything, just for the packages from the ppa and stuff that depends on them | 00:46 |
| ali1234 | also you can't report bugs against a ppa because launchpad doesn't have a way to assign them like that | 00:47 |
| ali1234 | it must be an official package or upstream project hosted on launchpad | 00:47 |
| Unit193 | Right, and by the looks of it at least it's not easily done, no. | 00:48 |
| knome | is there a simple tool that could submit bug data to bugzilla? | 00:49 |
| ali1234 | before MATE was official they had a PPA and an empty project, and told people to go to the project age and click "report a bug" for everything. and then they'd triage that manually | 00:50 |
| knome | or alternatively, we could just write a small (set of) script(s) to gather data we want in the reports for certain components and dump then in an archive or concat into a single file | 00:50 |
| Unit193 | apport-collect with the bug reported to the project does even, right? | 00:50 |
| ali1234 | knome: i believe debian has "debian-bug" which presumably talks to DBTS, but i 've never used it | 00:50 |
| ali1234 | i dont know about bugzilla... maybe fedora has something i think they use bugzilla? | 00:51 |
| Unit193 | pkg:reportbug | 00:51 |
| knome | i don't know either, but is there any reason why we wouldn't want reports directly upstream (xfce bugzilla)? | 00:51 |
| Unit193 | I'd presume less people have accounts. | 00:52 |
| ali1234 | no, it's just relatively hard to get good bug reports that way compared to "ubuntu-bug <package>" | 00:52 |
| Unit193 | Also, I've used 'bugz' in the past, but that's not exactly what you're looking for either. Just a CLI interface using the API. :/ | 00:52 |
| knome | less xfce people follow LP... | 00:52 |
| bluesabre | we could patch ubuntu-bug in our PPA | 01:47 |
| bluesabre | >.> | 01:47 |
| Unit193 | Ahaha. :D | 01:50 |
| bluesabre | I think that might be a valid solution here | 01:53 |
| ali1234 | would be a good idea to talk to the launchpad devs if you are serious about that | 01:55 |
| bluesabre | or fork us a xubuntu-bug or ppa-bug | 01:56 |
| flocculant | bluesabre Unit193 - just because *we* happen to be the ones doing this gtk3 stuff and in a ppa, doesn't actually follow that the bugs need to be on LP - they're not xubuntu bugs are they | 06:37 |
| flocculant | at least not until they're in Xubuntu | 06:38 |
| flocculant | so why not tell people to report to bugzilla | 06:38 |
| Unit193 | They are if I screwed up the packaging. :P | 06:38 |
| Unit193 | But aye. | 06:38 |
| flocculant | heh | 06:38 |
| flocculant | Unit193: ubiquity is working btw | 06:40 |
| flocculant | hah - I see knome said the same thing | 06:51 |
| Unit193 | Oh nice, missed that but means I should respin. | 07:26 |
| flocculant | kind of why I mentioned it :) | 07:26 |
| Unit193 | bluesabre: https://sigma.unit193.net/~unit193/appfinder.png | 20:09 |
| Unit193 | Fun times, nice crash of /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/wrapper-1.0 /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libxfce4powermanager.so 19 23068698 power-manager-plugin Power\ Manager\ Plug | 21:21 |
| genii | ooooo | 21:49 |
