[10:40] <Unit193> https://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] <Unit193> Subject: ☢beautiful things  several messages like this, clearly unwanted.
[10:47] <cjwatson> Those are usually not actually the user's fault
[10:47] <cjwatson> But let's see
[10:48] <cjwatson> Unit193: 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 now
[10:49] <Unit193> Hmm, interesting.  Thanks.
[14:46] <ricotz> hello, I am hoping someone could process this https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/647848
[15:08] <cjwatson> ricotz: Do you really still need the precise packages in that PPA, given that precise is EOL?
[15:09] <ricotz> cjwatson, I will consider dropping them, the yakkety packages will go away sooner though
[15:09] <ricotz> cjwatson, but I have enabled armhf/arm64/ppc64 which will take more space
[15:12] <cjwatson> ricotz: If we don't put at least a bit of pressure on then nobody bothers to remove things for EOL series :)
[15:12] <cjwatson> ricotz: I've bumped to 25GiB - let's see how much removals will help
[15:13] <ricotz> cjwatson, already got blamed for dropping older LO releases (which were EOL some time too) once
[15:13] <cjwatson> Sure, but PPAs can't be a perpetual archive of everything
[15:14] <ricotz> https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-prereleases/+packages has 30GB which I assume should be enough
[15:14] <ricotz> but ok, lets see if 25GB suffice
[15:14] <ricotz> thanks
[15:15] <ricotz> cjwatson, could you bump this to 25GB too? https://launchpad.net/~ricotz/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages
[15:16] <cjwatson> ricotz: done
[15:16] <ricotz> usually the problem is the space after a new release build
[15:16] <ricotz> thanks
[15:19] <ricotz> cjwatson, I see 12.04/precise like windows xp ;) it can be used on older offline systems
[15:20] <ricotz> e.g. medical systems admins demanded nvidia-blob updates for precise in past too
[15:22] <cjwatson> ricotz: So this is all well and good but we have finite and exhaustible space
[15:22] <cjwatson> I suggest using some other site for long-term archiving if you need it
[15:25] <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 capacity
[15:26] <cjwatson> So we have to ensure there's at least some pushback or we will run out
[15:26] <cjwatson> It's there to be used, but don't be surprised when we raise eyebrows at large quota requests
[15:27] <ricotz> I see, are there any actions on ppa which already exceed their limit?
[15:28] <ricotz> cjwatson, look at the quota https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages
[15:29] <cjwatson> 16:26 <cjwatson> It's there to be used, but don't be surprised when we raise eyebrows at large quota requests
[15:29] <cjwatson> Exceeding the limit should at least be a prompt to remove publications for obsolete series
[15:30] <cjwatson> Yeah, 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 disk
[15:30] <cjwatson> That one isn't expected to be anything close to used
[15:30] <cjwatson> Hm from your ping timeout I guess you missed a bit more

[15:34] <ricotz> cjwatson, alright, thanks for the info
