[12:22] <acheronuk> issues? LP seems down
[12:23] <cjwatson> power work going on, I suspect it's gone a bit wrong
[12:25] <acheronuk> seems back now. thanks
[12:25] <cjwatson> yep
[15:27] <shiftplusone> Is there a way to allow a different launchpad user to upload to your PPA? I guess the only way is for them to generate a new key and add it to this launchpad account?
[15:32] <cjwatson> shiftplusone: it's possible, just undocumented :)  it's usually better to make the PPA be owned by a suitable team instead
[15:32] <cjwatson> shiftplusone: but if you have no alternative, you can use edit-acl from lp:ubuntu-archive-tools to grant an extra upload ACL on a PPA
[15:32] <korrigan> hello, I've open a question at Launchpad a few days ago, but since there are no answers untill today I thought I'd ask here
[15:33] <korrigan>  Importing my OpenPGP key to Launchpad Asked by Korrigan Nagirrok on 2017-12-11  Hello.  I've been trying to import my openPGP key to Launchpad since 15-11-2017 to no avail. The key was already uploaded to the Ubuntu keyserver: http://keyserver.ubuntu.com/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=korrigan&fingerprint=on (it's the first one listed).
[15:33] <cjwatson> korrigan: yep, sorry, I have seen your question, just need to do some log-trawling to figure out the problem
[15:33] <shiftplusone> Oh.. didn't know teams were a thing. Already made an account that should've been a team instead. Hmm
[15:33] <korrigan> sure cjwatson, no problem
[15:33] <shiftplusone> thanks again, cjwatson
[15:33] <korrigan> I'll wait for your answer there, then
[15:38] <shiftplusone> if I delete my account, will the name become available to create a team with the same name?
[15:39] <shiftplusone> looks like you can only deactivate
[15:41] <cjwatson> once the deletion completes it gets renamed out of the way
[15:41] <cjwatson> s/deletion/deactivation/
[15:42] <shiftplusone> Alright, I'll give it a go.
[15:44] <shiftplusone> That was easy. Thanks again.
[15:45] <cjwatson> np
[16:57] <shiftplusone> I've just uploaded some packages to a team ppa and they have been stuck on 'Pending publication' for for about an hour. Is that normal or is there an additional step I'm missing?
[17:04] <cjwatson> Let me see
[17:05] <cjwatson> shiftplusone: Can you give me a pointer to the PPA?
[17:06] <shiftplusone> ppa:rpi-distro/ppa
[17:06] <shiftplusone> https://launchpad.net/~rpi-distro/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
[17:08] <cjwatson> You've managed to break something ...
[17:08] <shiftplusone> I have a knack for that
[17:08] <cjwatson> Have you been deleting and reuploading or copying around packages without changing the version?
[17:09] <shiftplusone> I have deleted an account and created a team with the same name. The packages were on that account previously.
[17:09] <shiftplusone> So that may count as a reupload
[17:09] <rbasak> shiftplusone: o/
[17:09] <rbasak> I read Ben's blog post earlier.
[17:09] <rbasak> I suggested that you should use avahi-daemon and forget about looking up IPs, BTW.
[17:09] <rbasak> Unrelated to your current problem.
[17:09] <shiftplusone> rbasak: hey
[17:10] <shiftplusone> rbasak: not sure if it will work in that use case.
[17:11] <shiftplusone> But I'll take a look
[17:11] <rbasak> If avahi-daemon is running at both ends, I'm pretty sure a lookup will work correctly.
[17:11] <rbasak> You need libnss-mdns installed on the system doing the lookups, but it already is installed by default on Ubuntu AFAICS.
[17:11] <shiftplusone> Even if it's link-local connection only?
[17:12] <rbasak> Correct.
[17:12] <rbasak> And link local is convenient too, because it avoids collisions.
[17:12] <rbasak> I may be wrong about this. But I believe it does work.
[17:12] <shiftplusone> ah, alright. I'll check if avahi is on that buildroot image and pass that on to the guy who does usbbootgui
[17:12] <rbasak> I don't know for certain that it does.
[17:13] <shiftplusone> No worries, I'll check later. Thanks.
[17:14] <cjwatson> shiftplusone: Ah, yes, I think that possibly existing PPAs aren't cleared off disk when you deactivate an account.
[17:16] <cjwatson> shiftplusone: The simplest thing would be to delete the PPAs, wait for a full publication cycle (say an hour, although it should be quicker than that), and re-populate everything.  But if that's difficult, you could also do trivial source uploads (i.e. suffix "build1" to all the versions) and rebuild everything
[17:16] <cjwatson> shiftplusone: The current files are permanently unpublishable, so you'll have to do something like that.
[17:17] <shiftplusone> So to confirm. If I delete the PPA, wait a while and re-upload the same packages again, they will be published?
[17:18] <cjwatson> Yeah
[17:18] <cjwatson> This was just a weirdness around deactivating accounts
[17:19] <cjwatson> (Though in general you should expect that if you want to rebuild a package or otherwise change it in any way, you need to change its version number)
[17:19] <shiftplusone> Thanks again and sorry for creating the extra support work for you while I get the hang of it. Much appreciated.
