[07:55] <cpaelzer> hiho, to be clear this might be on me and misunderstanding bzr details, but let me outline my issue and maybe someone can help
[07:55] <cpaelzer> I have branched https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive/+junk/sync-blacklist
[07:55] <cpaelzer> and I wanted to upload a modified branch to provide an MP
[07:55] <cpaelzer> I have two ways and none works
[07:56] <cpaelzer> if I upload bzr push lp:~paelzer/+junk/sync-blacklist-php-horde-groovy I get no "create merge proposal" at https://code.launchpad.net/~paelzer/+junk/sync-blacklist-php-horde-groovy
[07:57] <cpaelzer> Interstingly if I upload as bzr push lp:~paelzer/junk/sync-blacklist-php-horde-groovy I got oopses
[07:57] <cpaelzer> that would have a "create merge proposal" but then complains it could not be merged
[07:57] <cpaelzer> btw oopses would be OOPS-6e59840d8911e28af8cd9f379281190d and later on a retry OOPS-a7bf9a80c9c152690ef87dfa987ebb22
[07:58] <cpaelzer> If I want to open a merge on the latter into ~ubuntu-archive/+junk/sync-blacklist it fails complaining that "This branch is not mergeable into lp:~ubuntu-archive/+junk/sync-blacklist."
[07:58] <cpaelzer> I'm bzr-lost on this :-/
[08:00] <cpaelzer> Next I wanted to learn from other MPs how it would be correct, but https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive/+merges?field.status=ALL&field.status-empty-marker=1 is empty
[08:01] <cjwatson> cpaelzer: It is not possible to propose MPs into +junk branches.
[08:02] <cpaelzer> ok, that is very interesting - thanks already
[08:02] <cpaelzer> how do I then propose things to https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-archive/+junk/sync-blacklist
[08:03] <cpaelzer> as it is the repo mentioned in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ArchiveAdministration#Blacklisting
[08:03] <cjwatson> Diffs and pastebin I guess
[08:03] <cpaelzer> ok, will do that then
[08:03] <cpaelzer> thanks for eliminating my confusion on this
[08:03] <cjwatson> Also junk != +junk
[08:03] <cjwatson> (re your attempted push above)
[08:03] <cpaelzer> yeah that was just a try to avoid the issue
[08:04] <cjwatson> Somebody more active in ~ubuntu-archive than me should probably move it into a real project and git, or whatever
[12:34] <slyon> Hi #launchpad! I'm trying to login at staging.launchpad.net with a freshly created account (via login-lp.staging.ubuntu.com SSO), but only get an error/oops: OOPS-0dda66f82cb6b4801fab74273bb05746 ... How can I make use of the Launchpad staging server, to do some testing?
[12:53] <cjwatson> slyon: It's some work at our end, https://help.launchpad.net/StagingServer - would qastaging meet your needs instead?
[12:54] <slyon> cjwatson, I'm working on apport, which has 'staging.launchpad.net' hardcoded... so I cannot easily switch to qastaging. But maybe I can just the production launchpad to report 1 testing bug and mark it invalid afterwards...
[12:56] <cjwatson> slyon: It should be pretty trivial to hack that to have a qastaging option as well
[12:56] <slyon> cjwatson, right. I can probably do that as well
[12:57] <cjwatson> (And launchpad.dev should be launchpad.test nowadays, while you're there ...)
[12:58] <cjwatson> That OOPS isn't even showing up for me, meh
[13:00] <cjwatson> I wonder if staging OOPS syncing broke with the recent lift-and-shift to VMs.  But it seems to be working fine for qastaging ...
[13:04] <slyon> Yes the login to qastaging is working. Thanks for your help!
[13:10] <cjwatson> Good stuff
