tsimonq2Would anyone (cjwatson?) happen to know how lp:ubuntu-sponsoring is deployed?04:03
tsimonq2I'd like to convert it to Git.04:03

cjwatsontsimonq2: Haven't the foggiest06:06
tsimonq2cjwatson: Do you know where I can find who knows? :P06:08
cjwatsontsimonq2: Nope06:10
tsimonq2cjwatson: Mkay, thanks anyway.06:11
Unit193Achievement unlocked: Found something cjwatson doesn't know.06:11
tsimonq2^06:12
cjwatsonHeh06:13
cjwatsonI'd start by asking people who've committed to that branch06:13
cjwatson(and who are still around)06:14
tsimonq2If Laney or bdmurray don't know, I *think* I still have a way to contact dholbach, if he remembers.06:16
tsimonq2Otherwise I just about cut the sponsoring queue in half, and I plan on going further tomorrowish, but I want to eventually (but slowly, ELITTLETIME) work on refining the queue in general.06:19
Mirvsmoser: wow, huge thanks for pdftk snap, and thanks to command-not-found patchers who have added snap support :D06:31
wxlwhoa pdftk snap. cool.06:31
MirvI was like "nooo, gone in bionic"06:31
Mirvbut snap saved06:31
Mirvapparently it doesn't build with GCC 706:32
Mirvbut in my use case I have a note that eg pdfjoin tool breaks hyperlinks, pdftk does what I want06:32

Laneytsimonq2: Well done on your work there. It's probably a cron script on some machine. I could find out if necessary - but is it that important to switch it?08:15
tsimonq2Laney: bzr is painfully slow, even with a wrapper.08:18
tsimonq2And thanks.08:18
Laneywhat is painfully slow about it?08:19
tsimonq2Pushing/pulling.08:19
LaneyYou plan to do a lot of that on the sponsoring queue?08:19
tsimonq2I plan on working on it a bit, yeah.08:19
LaneyAnd pushing it *that* often?08:21
tsimonq2We're talking five seconds vs 30.08:21
tsimonq2I push frequently enough to make it annoying.08:22
LaneyBut even at a 25 second deficit, how often are you planning to push the spnosor queue's branch?08:22
LaneyIt's probably pulled from trunk with each run, so you should only be pushing things you actually want to deploy ...08:22
tsimonq2I don't know if I can give you a quantitative value.08:22
tsimonq2And that's yet another advantage of Git, multiple branches.08:23
LaneyI understand the differences between the two.08:23
LaneyI'm challenging the benefit gained by someone having to go find out how this is deployed and update that to work with git, when the project is not active at all.08:24
tsimonq2I guess I personally see the ROI for someone taking maybe 5 minutes to reclone a repo and sed a crontab.08:25
tsimonq2It costs more overhead to continue using Bazaar than to switch it.08:25
rbasakIt does make it easier for others to contribute to10:14
rbasakIt's much more of a pain trying to remember how to do things with bzr at least. And then there are all the things that you can't do easily (eg. squash)10:15
Unit193But rbasak!  Brz is cool.10:15
Unit193!info brz10:15
ubottubrz (source: breezy): easy to use distributed version control system. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0.0~bzr6852-1 (bionic), package size 36 kB, installed size 72 kB10:15
Unit193There is one feature I like in bzr, lp-propose.  Though it is known to have unexpected results.10:16
rbasakIIRC sparkiegeek (not here) has a git replacement equivalent for LP for that?10:20
Unit193That sounds shiny.10:31
cjwatsonrbasak: snap info gitlptools10:38
rbasakThanks!10:40
rbasakUnit193: ^10:40
Unit193Is there a source for that?10:40
rbasakhttps://launchpad.net/gitlptools it loos like10:40
Unit193Hmm, no tags..10:42
Unit193tsimonq2: Looks like something you might want to know about, and package.10:45
smoserMirv: thanks for sharing.  Would you upvote https://askubuntu.com/questions/1028522/how-can-i-install-pdftk-in-ubuntu-18-04-bionic ?12:17
smoserunless you honestly think that shell-script-blob (currently the top aswer) is a better way of distributing software :)12:18
Mirvsmoser: upvoted the snap one, yes I think it should be on the top...13:07

bdmurraytsimonq2: What was the original question?14:56
bdmurrayrbasak: Are you familiar with postgresql or is there somebody else on the server team I should ping?17:12
ahasenackbdmurray: what's up? Maybe I can help, rbasak and cpaelzer are eod17:58
ahasenackcpaelzer prepared the recent postgresql sru17:59
bdmurrayahasenack: its about postgresql and release upgrades. postgresql is in the release upgrader blacklist b/c of bug 871893 and I wonder if its still relevant.18:00
ubottubug 871893 in update-manager (Ubuntu Oneiric) "After upgrading postgresql-databases are not accessible any more" [Critical,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/87189318:00
bdmurraysee also bug 178734918:01
ubottubug 1787349 in ubuntu-release-upgrader (Ubuntu) "postgresql-plperl-9.5 blocks do-release-upgrade from 16.04 to 18.04" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/178734918:01
ahasenackthat's from 201118:01
ahasenackI have no idea18:02
bdmurrayOkay, I'll email ubuntu-devel18:03
jbichaslangasek: https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/running is outdated, I triggered those cmake/gnutls runs last night18:03
cpaelzerbdmurray: I neither hae background on this postgres thing18:34
cpaelzerthis was all in the time pitti cared for it18:34
cpaelzerbdmurray: you should set him to CC on this mail18:35
cpaelzermaybe he can shed some light18:35
Unit193sbeattie: Thanks for the sponsorship.20:15
sbeattieUnit193: you're welcome, thanks for preparing the update!20:49
tsimonq2bdmurray: Where's lp:ubuntu-sponsoring deployed?22:09
bdmurraytsimonq2: you mean the name of the server?22:13
tsimonq2bdmurray: Right; that, and how it's deployed. I'd like to convert it to Git.22:14
tsimonq2bdmurray: I can do the conversion, I just need someone with access to button push.22:15
bdmurraytsimonq2: Its on cranberry and laney and I, and some others, have access.22:20
rbasakAre you sure it's on cranberry?22:24
rbasakNot rootstock?22:25
tsimonq2There, it's converted: https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu-sponsoring22:26
bdmurrayrbasak: yes22:26
rbasakOh. OK22:26
rbasakbdmurray: what does it run as, OOI?22:27
rbasakAh22:27
rbasakubuntureports22:27
rbasakI see it. Nice to know, thanks.22:27
bdmurrayrbasak: Yeah, I guess you have access too.22:28
rbasakYes22:28
rbasakThough I won't push any buttons without others telling me that's OK :)22:29
rbasak(since my access is only incidental to other stuff)22:30
tsimonq2I guess not being a Canonical employee there's no way for me to have access, correct?22:30
rbasakThough I was left with co-adminship of ~ubuntu-sponsors at one point22:30
bdmurrayI haven't looked at it in so long as it is...22:31
rbasaktsimonq2: I assume so, since it's shell access on some Canonical infrastructure.22:31
rbasakThough presumably all the actual code that's running is in the public repo22:31
tsimonq2I would even argue that https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-sponsoring should be "maintained" by ~ubuntu-sponsors, not ~ubuntu-dev, because anyone from ~ubuntu-dev can join ~ubuntu-sponsors, and I'd argue that you should be sponsoring things to get commit access to the associated infra.22:32
tsimonq2bdmurray, rbasak: If you both agree, it's a flip of a switch. Otherwise I can ask for more wider feedback on e.g. ubuntu-devel.22:33
tsimonq2rbasak: Canonical infra> ack.22:33
rbasaktsimonq2: I have no objection. Though I think peer review might be a good idea (or at least the opportunity; if nobody objects after a while then we shouldn't cause policy to enforce blocking progress)22:34
tsimonq2rbasak: Peer review on the policy change or code changes in general?22:35
rbasakOn code changes in general22:35
tsimonq2Sure.22:35
tsimonq2I know dholbach drove that for a while, but I've just been making commits that seem useful.22:36
tsimonq2With Git, this will become much easier to just put commits in feature branches. :)22:36
