[13:09] <psusi> could a release manager target bug #1772374 for bionic?
[18:12] <psusi> bdmurray: I'm trying to write a bugpattern and even when I revert to the unmodified bugpatterns.xml file and run ./test-local, it crashes saying: line 275, in download assert m, 'bug description must contain standard apport format data'
[18:14] <psusi> ohh, does it not like the fact that the bug I'm trying to dupe against wasn't itself filed by apport?
[18:17] <bdmurray> probably, it'll skip the bug, as a candidate, if it was not reported by apport
[18:17] <psusi> ohh, wait... I get it... test-local doesn't want the master bug number, it wants a single bug number to check if it matches a pattern
[18:18] <bdmurray> Yes, that's true.
[18:39] <psusi> ok, I got a pattern, search-bugs over the last 5 days finds a dozen dupes, no false positives... woot
[18:39] <psusi> so now I just commit and push?
[18:40] <bdmurray> Did you manually mark those duplicates or use -C to have the tool mark them as dupes?
[18:51] <psusi> bdmurray: not marked anything yet...
[18:51] <psusi> is it that if I commit and push the pattern, it will take care of new bugs, but existing ones I just need to let search-bugs -C handle those?
[18:53] <bdmurray> psusi: that's correct, I believe its covered in the README
[18:53] <psusi> ok... I guess I'll run that and push the commit then...
[18:59] <bdmurray> I'd be happy to have look at the pattern if you'd like
[19:00] <psusi> ok... the bzr push seemed to hang anyhow...
[19:01] <psusi> bdmurray: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/YJNMpfPc7m/
[19:02] <psusi> bdmurray: I tried also adding Package: ubiquity but that didn't work for some reason
[19:04] <bdmurray> psusi: Hmm, that's weird. Anyway it looks fine to me.
[19:05] <psusi> ok... search found and marked another 30 something from the last 45 days that I haven't manually triaged yet... pushing now
[19:05] <psusi> wait, what is bugpattern_written.py?
[19:06] <bdmurray> it just changes tags on the master bug
[19:06] <psusi> to what end?
[19:07] <psusi> should I run that?
[19:07] <bdmurray> iirc there was an idea to tag bugs bugpattern-needed, or maybe apport does that, and bugpattern_written.py just flips the tag to bugpattern-written.
[19:08] <psusi> I've seen that... does anything actually use those tags?
[19:10] <bdmurray> As I said apport does
[19:13] <psusi> what's it do with bugpattern-written?
[19:16] <bdmurray> apport tags bugpattern-needed, bugpattern_written.py is a bzr plugin as mentioned in it
[19:33] <psusi> ohh, I see... someone tags a bug as bugpattern-needed and when someone actually writes the pattern, that marks it as done... since I just wrote the pattern without being prompted with a -needed tag, I don't need to run it
