[11:27] <andreas> what's with launchpad importing old comments from 2011 and such from other bug trackers? New feature? Broken feature that was just fixed?
[11:34] <cjwatson> andreas: Broken feature that was just fixed
[11:34] <cjwatson> More or less
[11:34] <andreas> cjwatson: ah, thanks
[11:34] <cjwatson> andreas: And it's just the Red Hat bug tracker, not "other bug trackers" in general
[11:35] <andreas> indeed
[11:35] <cjwatson> I mean, we do import from other bug trackers, but the RH one is the one that was fixed
[23:19] <codygarver> hi, github recently added a new "Verified" commit gpgsig feature and it is breaking the git to bzr importer. Is this a known issue? Log: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/660151
[23:20] <cjwatson> codygarver: Yes.  I just answered your question there.
[23:20] <wgrant> (and it's nothing to do wih GitHub's feature; git has had gpgsig support for many years)
[23:20] <cjwatson> Basically nothing we can realistically do about it I'm afraid; it'd be a significant development project in Bazaar, for which we have no staff.
[23:21] <codygarver> thanks for the info, I'm sorry to hear about this
[23:22] <cjwatson> (It's conceivable it might get done in the Bazaar fork Breezy; if that gets far enough ahead then it's possible we might switch to it.  But I don't believe it's yet fixed there either.)
[23:23] <codygarver> I think the reason I'm only just now experiencing this is github made some change to merging things with their web interface
[23:24] <codygarver> I don't sign locally but their web interface is doing it for me...
[23:24] <cjwatson> Yeah, every so often somebody changes something and a few more repos start failing.
[23:25] <cjwatson> What are you using the imports for?  (i.e. is there a blocking reason you can't use git-to-git instead)
[23:25] <codygarver> we used to be 100% launchpad, then move the trunks to github and set up imports to keep from having to mess with all the separate debian packaging branches and recipes
[23:26] <codygarver> so this means I will need to convert the packaging branches to git as well and use git based recipes instead
[23:26] <cjwatson> OK, so you'd have to migrate them indeed, but git-based recipes work
[23:26] <cjwatson> So a bit annoying but shouldn't be a blocker
[23:26] <codygarver> yeah I think I will survive, thanks again for the help
[23:43] <cjwatson> (I think Breezy is already a bit ahead, though not yet in ways that are very relevant to Launchpad.  One thing that might make a difference is if they introduce a new format)
