[09:45] <cjwatson> (shouldn't take too long)
[10:02] <seb128> launchpad is down?
[10:03] <wgrant> See the topic
[10:03] <seb128> topic says it's read only but it just returns 503 errors for me (bzr push failing as well)
[10:03] <seb128> wgrant, read-only != erroring, the topic doesn't reflect what I'm seeing :p
[10:03] <seb128> ah, back
[10:03] <wgrant> Read-only makes pushes fail because they are writes
[10:03] <wgrant> It was totally down briefly as the switch occurred
[10:04] <seb128> right, well loading https://launchpad.net/ was returning as 503
[10:04] <seb128> seems back now
[10:04] <seb128> thx
[15:35] <tintou> cjwatson: Hi! just to remind you that https://code.launchpad.net/~tintou/git-build-recipe/+git/git-build-recipe-1/+merge/351699 is ready for review :)
[15:56] <cjwatson> Good point; looking
[16:14] <cjwatson> tintou: Nice work; just some things to fix up before merging
[16:14] <cjwatson> I've left review comments
[16:14] <cjwatson> Sorry for taking so long on this
[16:18] <cjwatson> Actually there's another much more difficult problem too.  Thinking about the details and writing it up as a comment ...
[16:38] <cjwatson> done
[20:42] <karstensrage> how is launchpad related to debian
[20:44] <karstensrage> it seems trivial to put something in launchpad and use the ppa's
[20:44] <karstensrage> but its hard to find sponsors for packages into debian
[22:11] <cjwatson> karstensrage: Launchpad maintains an import of source packages in Debian, and obviously Ubuntu is based on Debian so there are various associations arising from that, but it's otherwise unrelated
[22:11] <cjwatson> Certainly not at the social level you're looking for
[23:49] <karstensrage> cjwatson, well i notice you are debian mentor or w/e they call it
[23:50] <karstensrage> i was wondering what criteria are used, is it like the app store or just that the packaging is correct
[23:53] <cjwatson> I'm a Debian developer, but have very little time for sponsorship these days
[23:54] <cjwatson> It's not like an app store.  It depends a bit on the sponsor, but generally they'll be focusing on technical correctness of packaging, good compliance with Debian's policies, etc.
