[03:28] <ePierre> cjwatson, hi! I confirmed the issue we were talking about yesterday with a proof of concept. I created an issue with all the details: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpadlib/+bug/1729754
[07:41] <ricotz> hello, could someone please bump the priority of those amd64/i386 builds of firefox-trunk? https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages
[07:42] <ricotz> https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+builds
[07:44] <wgrant> ricotz: The build farm is working through a big backlog at present. Those look like daily builds -- is it especially important that these particular daily builds be prioritised?
[07:45] <wgrant> Particularly since they seem to FTBFS on all architectures.
[07:48] <ricotz> wgrant, I think they are rated lower because firefox-trunk is not in the archive, and no they are not all failing
[07:49] <ricotz> wgrant, I tend to upload one build every 2-3 days
[07:51] <wgrant> ricotz: The armhf, arm64 and ppc64el builds have all failed.
[07:51] <ricotz> those builds include some packaging changes and are/were close to what is merged for the next firefox beta cycle
[07:51] <ricotz> wgrant, no they didn't, only on gcc7
[07:52] <ricotz> see xenial/zesty
[07:53] <wgrant> Ah.
[07:54] <wgrant> ricotz: So, I can bump the score if you actually need the builds done.
[07:54] <wgrant> Rather than them just being normal daily builds that won't matter if they're missed today.
[07:55] <ricotz> wgrant, thanks, is it possible to make firefox-trunk a normal package which result in a normal score like 2505?
[07:57] <wgrant> ricotz: Daily builds get a slightly lower score, so that manually requested builds that people are waiting for are completed more quickly.
[07:57] <wgrant> This does once or twice a year result in >12h waits for daily builds, but because of the nature of daily builds that's very rarely a problem.
[07:58] <wgrant> Particularly for something like firefox, we really don't want to prioritise automated builds over builds that people need quickly.
[07:58] <ricotz> wgrant, could you explain daily vs manually requested?
[07:59] <ricotz> those are not recipes or such, I assume launchpad categorise them based on the upload frequency then?
[08:02] <ricotz> wgrant, jfyi, I am currently pushing firefox 57 beta 14 to https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/ubuntu/firefox-next/+packages which hopefully start to built sooner :)
[08:02] <wgrant> ricotz: Basically. Things that are uploaded frequently, particularly those that take a long time to build.
[08:02] <wgrant> The policy is in place to maximise the responsiveness of the build farm for exactly that sort of thing.
[08:02] <wgrant> Manual uploads that don't happen too often, and that people will complain about if they take too long.
[08:03] <wgrant> ie. not builds from trunk
[08:03] <ricotz> yeah, that is totally reasonable, is this explain in detail somewhere?
[08:04] <wgrant> It's not.
[08:05] <ricotz> It is/was just confusing to see this in compare -- https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers/+packages?field.name_filter=mesa&field.status_filter=&field.series_filter=artful
[08:05] <ricotz> like 2-4 uploads per day
[08:08] <ricotz> wgrant, anyway, thank you!
[08:16] <Etua> What does "first author" stand for in Launchpad generated po files?
[08:18] <wgrant> Etua: It's intended that someone involved with the translation, perhaps a contact person, could put their name and email address there.
[08:20] <Etua> wgrant: Do I have to put any name in there if my translation policy was open and I cannot expect any person to anwser concerns about the whole translation or stand for it in any other way?
[08:21] <wgrant> Etua: I suspect most people leave it at the default and never even noticed it was there.
[08:22] <Etua> wgrant: Then I'll leave it in default state, thanks.
