Unit193https://launchpad.net/~rip84 seems to be a spammer, can something be done about this?  Or perhaps have his ability to send to lists revoked at least?10:40
Unit193Subject: ☢beautiful things  several messages like this, clearly unwanted.10:40
cjwatsonThose are usually not actually the user's fault10:47
cjwatsonBut let's see10:47
cjwatsonUnit193: Actually could you just report this on https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion?  I don't have time to look into non-trivial things right now10:48
Unit193Hmm, interesting.  Thanks.10:49
ricotzhello, I am hoping someone could process this https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/64784814:46
cjwatsonricotz: Do you really still need the precise packages in that PPA, given that precise is EOL?15:08
ricotzcjwatson, I will consider dropping them, the yakkety packages will go away sooner though15:09
ricotzcjwatson, but I have enabled armhf/arm64/ppc64 which will take more space15:09
cjwatsonricotz: If we don't put at least a bit of pressure on then nobody bothers to remove things for EOL series :)15:12
cjwatsonricotz: I've bumped to 25GiB - let's see how much removals will help15:12
ricotzcjwatson, already got blamed for dropping older LO releases (which were EOL some time too) once15:13
cjwatsonSure, but PPAs can't be a perpetual archive of everything15:13
ricotzhttps://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-prereleases/+packages has 30GB which I assume should be enough15:14
ricotzbut ok, lets see if 25GB suffice15:14
ricotzthanks15:14
ricotzcjwatson, could you bump this to 25GB too? https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages15:15
cjwatsonricotz: done15:16
ricotzusually the problem is the space after a new release build15:16
ricotzthanks15:16

ricotzcjwatson, I see 12.04/precise like windows xp ;) it can be used on older offline systems15:19
ricotze.g. medical systems admins demanded nvidia-blob updates for precise in past too15:20
cjwatsonricotz: So this is all well and good but we have finite and exhaustible space15:22
cjwatsonI suggest using some other site for long-term archiving if you need it15:22
cjwatsonThe PPA hosting system isn't very easily expandable without some significant infrastructure work, and at the moment it's at about 81% used - i.e. you just asked for over 1% of the total remaining capacity15:25
cjwatsonSo we have to ensure there's at least some pushback or we will run out15:26
cjwatsonIt's there to be used, but don't be surprised when we raise eyebrows at large quota requests15:26
ricotzI see, are there any actions on ppa which already exceed their limit?15:27
ricotzcjwatson, look at the quota https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages15:28
cjwatson16:26 <cjwatson> It's there to be used, but don't be surprised when we raise eyebrows at large quota requests15:29
cjwatsonExceeding the limit should at least be a prompt to remove publications for obsolete series15:29
cjwatsonYeah, a few security PPAs have effectively unlimited quotas because the cost of delay if they overshoot during a tight embargo period is worse than the cost of disk15:30
cjwatsonThat one isn't expected to be anything close to used15:30
cjwatsonHm from your ping timeout I guess you missed a bit more15:30
cjwatson16:25 <cjwatson> The PPA hosting system isn't very easily expandable without some significant infrastructure work, and at the moment it's at about 81% used - i.e. you just asked for over 1% of the total remaining capacity15:30

ricotzcjwatson, alright, thanks for the info15:34
