[16:03] <LocutusOfBorg> hello, if anybody is around, do you have any stick for s390x builders?
[17:31] <ali1234> i was asked to attach a ppd file to a cups bug but launchpad throws an error whenever i try to upload it. no problem with any other files. is there a reason for that? should i report a bug?
[19:12] <cjwatson> LocutusOfBorg: no available sticks at the weekend when we don't have sysadmin support, sorry.
[19:12] <cjwatson> ali1234: can't think of a reason, please report it
[19:12] <ali1234> will do, thanks
[19:13] <ali1234> of course i can't actually attach the file to the bug report. any preference how to get it to someone who can fix it?
[19:14] <cjwatson> ali1234: gzip it and see if that lets you attach it?
[19:14] <cjwatson> ali1234: also make sure you include the OOPS ID
[19:16] <ali1234> will do. i was specifically asked to not gzip it on the bug :)
[19:16] <cjwatson> sure, but that doesn't apply to a bug against Launchpad about the problem.
[19:17] <cjwatson> I don't know how you should get it to somebody who can fix the cups bug, though.  I would have thought that a compressed attachment was better than nothing ...
[19:17] <cjwatson> maybe they have some exotic bug-processing scripts or something
[19:18] <ali1234> and of course it attached fine
[19:19] <ali1234> oh no i meant the launchpad error. it attached fine on the report i just did. but i still can't attach it on the cups bug. so it must be as you say - they have some post processing
[19:19] <cjwatson> uh, they don't have the ability to cause code to run on attachment though
[19:20] <ali1234> oh. it just attached fine on the original report too
[19:20] <cjwatson> the most they might hypothetically be able to do would be to have processing scripts that download attachments later and process them
[19:20] <cjwatson> must have been some kind of transient problem then; that makes more sense anyway
[19:20] <ali1234> but i literally just tried it again before making the report, in order to get an oops code
[19:20] <ali1234> oh well, there's a report and the initial report is satisfied too. thanks for your help :)
[19:21] <cjwatson> ok :)
[21:30] <LocutusOfBorg> cjwatson, no problem at all, I hope this message gets read when the sysadmin are back to dailywork :)
