tsimonq2wgrant: When using lp.bugs.createBug, what should I set as a target for an Ubuntu source package?00:31
tsimonq2(Examples of using lp.bugs.createBug would be good too.)00:32
wgranttsimonq2: lp.distributions['ubuntu'].getSourcePackage(name='foo')00:32
wgrantcreateBug is fairly simple IIRC? Just the usual parameters00:32
tsimonq2Right so e.g. lp.bugs.createBug(target=package, tags="qt4-removal") right?00:33
* tsimonq2 tries on staging00:37
wgranttsimonq2: Plus title and description, yeah.00:42
wgranttsimonq2: Tags may want a list instead of a space-separated string, despite what the docs say (they're reused from the web UI)... I forget.00:43
tsimonq2wgrant: OK00:47
tsimonq2wgrant: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VPdqdVWZ5k/00:48
tsimonq2Hm.00:48
tsimonq2I'm doing this from a VPS.00:48
wgrantI'd use Python 200:48
tsimonq2OK00:49
tsimonq2wgrant: ftr a string ended up being fine: https://bugs.staging.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vc/+bug/17563700:55

wgrantNice.00:56
tsimonq2wgrant: How do I do newlines when /n doesn't work?00:57
tsimonq2(in the desc)00:58
tsimonq2Ohh01:04
tsimonq2Figured it out01:04
tsimonq2Totally PEBKAC :P01:04
tgm4883Would this be the right place to ask why a PPA is failing to install a package when building? The package seems to be available in the repositories  https://launchpadlibrarian.net/361565049/buildlog_ubuntu-artful-i386.mythtv_2%3A30.0~master.20180322.7f37ca7-0ubuntu0mythbuntu2_BUILDING.txt.gz01:52
tsimonq2wgrant: All better I think: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=qt4-removal02:08
nacctgm4883: i see libcec4-dev but not libcec-dev04:35
ChamScalesHello everyone06:41
ChamScalesI have a little question06:41
ChamScalesDoes launchpad provide ppas for every program that's in it or is it up to the developers ?06:42
tsimonq2ChamScales: What do you mean?06:47
tsimonq2When you create a PPA, it's empty.06:47
tsimonq2It's then up to you to put stuff in there.06:47
ChamScalesI'm asking because I can't find the ppa for xpad : https://launchpad.net/xpad06:48
tsimonq2Then there's no PPA. :)06:48
ChamScalesok, I was just wondering if the website itself was autimatically creating them06:49
ChamScalesthsnks for the info06:49
wgrantBut xpad is in Ubuntu, so unless you absolutely need the latest version you don't really need a PPA.06:51

ChamScaleswgrant : I need the latest version06:59
ChamScalesanywho, thanks for your help06:59
ChamScalesgotta go now06:59

cjwatsontsimonq2: The crash you ran into in https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/VPdqdVWZ5k/ is fixed in the latest version of launchpadlib, FWIW.09:39
tsimonq2cjwatson: I'm running Bionic...09:40
tsimonq2Hmm.09:40
cjwatsonNot up-to-date.09:47
cjwatsonThat's definitely not python3-launchpadlib 1.10.6-1.09:47
tsimonq2Ohh.10:02
tsimonq2No, you're right, that was on an artful install...10:02
mapreriwould anybody be able to tell me why, despite being a member of the group owning https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-it-ask which is the owner of https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-it-ask-devel I'm not able to perform any admin functions on the latter?10:23
mapreriI just so happen to also be a direct non-admin member of https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-it-ask-devel - but I expected to gain admin powers through the owner10:25
cjwatsonOwners aren't admins.10:26
cjwatsonOr in general, owners aren't (necessarily) members.10:26
mapreriright, that's the case of those teams as well10:27
cjwatsonSo owning ~ubuntu-it-ask doesn't confer the ability to do things that members of that team can do.10:27
cjwatsonThis is intentional: it allows for instance ~techboard to own a bunch of extremely powerful teams without themselves being able to ordinarily exercise that power.10:27
mapreribut shouldn't I, as an indirect owner of ~ubuntu-it-ask-devel, be able to at the very least to member management of that team?10:28
cjwatsonBut you're not: you'd have to be an actual member of ~ubuntu-it-ask to be an indirect owner of ~ubuntu-it-ask-devel.10:28
wgrantNo. Ownership just allows you to take control of the team; it doesn't mean you participate in it.10:28
cjwatson(Or rather, just an owner.)10:28
maprerioh, so I could add myself as a member of ~ubuntu-it-ask (through being a direct member of the team owning ~ubuntu-it-ask), and then I'd be a direct owner of ~ubuntu-it-ask-devel as well and therefore gaining admin privs?10:29
cjwatsonTo be clear, you would only gain admin privs that way because ~ubuntu-it-ask is explicitly an admin of ~ubuntu-it-ask-devel.10:30
cjwatsonNot just the owner.10:30
cjwatsonBut yes.10:30
mapreriand if the membership of ~ubuntu-it-ask in ~ubuntu-it-ask-devel were to be deactivated, so it would only be an owner, would that still work?10:31
cjwatsonI thought the answer was no, but I'm afraid I forget the fine details.10:38
mapreriguess I could play with this in the staging server…10:42
mapreriIt feels more roundabout that what I'd like it to be :)10:42
maprerimhhh, I can't log in to https://staging.launchpad.net - https://login-lp.staging.ubuntu.com ?10:44
rbasakYou need an account on the staging SSO system.10:44
rbasakUse qastaging.launchpad.net10:44
rbasakThat uses the production SSO system.10:44
rbasakFWIW, I like the separation of owners and admins. For me, it works as I'd expect.10:45
maprerioh right.  keep forgetting that staging.lp.o doesn't share the accounts10:45
mapreripity that qastaging is currently down10:45

tgm4883nacc: Isn't this it here https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libcec-dev&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all14:43
cjwatsonthat error indicates that the package is present but uninstallable14:46
cjwatsonbest way to investigate that is usually to set up a chdist environment (from devscripts) with sources.list matching the set of sources you're trying to use in this build, and drill down until apt gives you a useful error message14:46
tgm4883cjwatson: ok, i'll keep digging into it. Thanks for looking14:48
cjwatson libcec-dev : Depends: libcec4 (= 4.0.1+dfsg1-1) but 4.0.2.1~artful is to be installed14:52
cjwatsontgm4883: ^- somewhat closer to the actual error14:52
cjwatsontgm4883: which is because you're using https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ubuntu/xbmc-ppa-build-depends, and that includes a libcec source package which has a newer version of libcec4 but only has libcec4-dev not libcec-dev14:54
cjwatsonlibcec4-dev from that PPA is installable14:54
tgm4883ah14:55
tgm4883I had completely forgotten about PPA dependencies14:55
tgm4883cjwatson: rebuilding now, thanks for digging into that. You're a lot faster at it than I would have been14:56
cjwatsonWe get questions of this form every so often, so I'm in the habit :)15:00
