[01:20] <buzz_> argh! - builders - i386 	26 	1167 jobs (12 hours)
[01:21] <buzz_> how did the queue get that big! :)
[01:23] <wgrant> buzz_: An issue with a kernel security update took out most of the builders for a day or so. They're back now and catching up.
[01:24] <buzz_> i see. good it is fixed anyway
[01:25] <buzz_> thanks for the info.
[01:27] <psusi> did I recently see the ability to remove a task from a bug was finally added?  how is this done?  I don't see a new command documented on https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/EmailInterface
[01:27] <wgrant> psusi: It's not exposed through the email interface.
[01:27] <wgrant> Only the API and web UI.
[01:36] <psusi> wgrant, wait, it's exposed through the web ui?  where?
[01:39] <wgrant> psusi: Are you in launchpad-beta-testers?
[01:39] <psusi> I forget ;)
[01:40] <psusi> doesn't look like it atm
[01:42] <wgrant> http://blog.launchpad.net/bug-tracking/removing-a-project-from-a-shared-bug-report
[01:42] <wgrant> You need to be a beta tester.
[01:42] <wgrant> And also have either created the task, or be the bug supervisor for the project/distro.
[02:27] <psusi> wgrant, does that mean ubuntu-bugcontrol for ubuntu package tasks?
[02:27] <wgrant> psusi: Right.
[02:27] <psusi> k... can clean up those at least...
[02:28] <psusi> say wait a second... can't I just reassign tasks to other projects back to Ubuntu, and then delete them anyhow?
[02:28] <wgrant> Shhhhh
[02:28] <psusi> ;)
[02:28] <psusi> well, it's better than the NULL Project
[02:28] <wgrant> Yup.
[02:30] <psusi> any plans to add it to the email interface? ;)
[02:33] <wgrant> psusi: No, but patches welcome :)

[04:43] <rousskov> Hello. Does anybody know how to mark a private branch as "private"? Yes, we paid Canonical to allow private branch hosting, but the freshly uploaded branch defaulted to public and I do not see a knob to change that. The "Change branch details" page does not have a "make private" option.
[04:44] <wgrant> rousskov: Did you request private branches to be set up for your project?
[04:44] <rousskov> How do I request that?
[04:44] <lifeless> rousskov: hi, we need to do two things; toggle that branch to private, and setup a rule so new branches are private.
[04:44] <wgrant> Best to ask at https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion
[04:45] <lifeless> the former is probably time sensitive - can you msg me the branch name ?
[04:45] <rousskov> https://code.launchpad.net/~measurement-factory/squid-future/bump-server-first
[04:45] <lifeless> [more time sensitive]
[04:45] <rousskov> It is not so secret, fortunately.
[04:46] <lifeless> rousskov: we are right now overhauling this to make it much better
[04:46] <rousskov> I hope so :-)
[04:46] <lifeless> wgrant is one of the folk doing that ;)
[04:47] <rousskov> I can delete that branch and start from scratch if it makes things easier.
[04:49] <rousskov> wgrant, FWIW, I kind of expected "private" to be the default for paid-for projects because there is probably no reason to pay for a project if you do not need "privacy".
[04:50] <spm> rousskov: that branch; and defaults against that project should be set to private now; have at it
[04:50] <wgrant> Yeah, it's all a little bit odd at the moment.
[04:51] <rousskov> spm, thank you.
[04:51] <rousskov> What do I do when we are ready to make the branch public? Ask on https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion?
[04:52] <lifeless> spm: did you set the policy to private-by-default (vs private-only) ?
[04:52] <spm> just private, yes.
[04:53] <lifeless> spm: can you make it private-by-default? That should permit rousskov to open them himself
[04:53] <spm> sure
[04:53] <lifeless> thanks
[04:54] <spm> hang on. that's what I did set it to. :-) private, not provate-only. /confusion
[05:02] <lifeless> rousskov: you should see a pen icon in the top right of the branch page. Click that to toggle/change privacy
[05:03] <rousskov> Cool, thank you.
[05:09] <rousskov> lifeless, I got "Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad." error while trying to specify a trunk branch for this project. Is it useful to discuss it here?
[05:10] <rousskov> (it does not bother me much, but if it helps others, I can discuss details)
[07:24] <det> When you upload a package that provides packages for "all" architecture, are those built separately from the i386/amd64/etc ?
[07:28] <det> I uploaded a package that has been built/published for amd64 (and is currently building for i386), but the -common package (which is for architecture "all") has not been published
[07:33] <wgrant> det: all packages are built in the i386 build.
[07:33] <det> Thanks.
=== thumper-afk is now known as thumper
[08:16] <jtv> det: the "all" builds are currently built as if they were i386, and then published in multiple architectures.
[08:18] <jtv> det: I believe an "arch-all" package has to be published in all its architectures at once; maybe that's holding it up somehow.

[14:22] <lag> How do I view more than one changelog item when viewing packages in a PPA?
[15:15] <christoph_debian> anything wrong with ppa upload atm? failing with a gpg verification message in dput when uploading the *.changes but it is signed and the key (including the used subkey) seems to be known to launchpad
[15:16] <geser> did you got an email that it got rejected or accepted?
[15:17] <christoph_debian> noticed dput failing and didn't expect mails in that case but indeed there are some
[15:18] <christoph_debian> seems `Changes file must be signed with a valid GPG signature: Verification failed 3 times: ['General error', 'General error', 'General error'] : Permission denied.` does stand for `you use the wrong distribution`
[15:18] <geser> there are 2 gpg checks: one at upload time (likes to fail) and a second one when the upload is processed. A failure at the first check is ignored, but the second check must pass.

[20:53] <nook> Is it possible that the global menu of Unity allways show the menu items? I dont want to hover the menu to see the items... That makes me crazy :(

[21:15] <thopiekar> hi.. can you help getting this problem solved? We are using these packaging files lp:~maliit-team/+junk/maliit-framework-debian to package lp:~maliit-team/maliit/maliit-framework and we want to make them compatible to oneiric and natty while oneiric has multi-arch support and paths for the install files differ.. how can I make the debian files work on both releases?
[21:26] <lifeless> thopiekar: hi; the #ubuntu-packaging channel is more likely to be able to help with that
[21:26] <lifeless> thopiekar: they support folk doing packaging on Launchpad PPAs and Ubuntu itself
[21:26] <thopiekar> lifeless: thanks!
[21:39] <danielinux> sorry I got disconnected so I don't know if my question was answered...
[21:39] <danielinux> my project has two branches, a "trunk" with last release 0.4 and a 0.5 branch for maintaining this version. I just released a 0.5, but on the download box the latest suggested file is still 0.4 is there a way to configure the download box on the overview page to show the latest released file (tarball for 0.5)?
[22:03] <flacoste> danielinux: i think this portlet is cached...
[22:04] <flacoste> let me confirm
[22:06] <flacoste> danielinux: i'm wrong, it's not cached
[22:06] <flacoste> danielinux: unfortunately, it's not configurable, and it's likely that we think release from trunk should sort higher than anything else
[22:09] <danielinux> Ok, thanks flacoste. I would suggest to consider to sort them by date (this seems more logical to me, since the box description clearly states "latest")
[22:09] <danielinux> anyway, thanks for looking into that
[22:10] <danielinux> I luv launchpad.
[22:10] <danielinux> goodnight
[22:19] <marcoceppi> So, this is'
[22:19] <marcoceppi> n't a support channel?
[22:19] <lifeless> marcoceppi: why do you say that ?
[22:20] <marcoceppi> The message I got from the room to seek support elsewhere, I've got hopefully a quick question
[22:20] <lifeless> what message?
[22:21] <lifeless> marcoceppi: if you mean 'Need help with Launchpad? Visit https://help.launchpad.net for the user guide. Still stuck or need to report spam? Go to https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad'
[22:21] <lifeless> marcoceppi: that offers additional places for help, for when noone answers
[22:21] <marcoceppi> Ah, thanks
[22:21] <lifeless> marcoceppi: you are totally welcome to ask anything here
[22:21] <marcoceppi> So I have a team setup in LaunchPad, since it's setup Launchpad has shown all of my commits as coming from that team
[22:22] <marcoceppi> despite me not using that email in bzr whoami. How can I stop masquerading as the team?
[22:23] <lifeless> whats the branch ?
[22:23] <marcoceppi> whoami: Marco Ceppi <marco@ceppi.net>, bzr log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/747601/, Offense: https://code.launchpad.net/~charmers/charm-tools/trunk
[22:24] <lifeless> are you talking about ~ondina?
[22:24] <lifeless> brb, ELOCAL
[22:24] <marcoceppi> lifeless: Yeah, It shows as ~ondina though I'd like it to come from ~marcoceppi
[22:27] <poolie> hi marcoceppi
[22:27] <marcoceppi> Hey poolie
[22:28] <lifeless> marcoceppi: can you do
[22:28] <lifeless> bzr log -n0 -r 83
[22:29] <marcoceppi> Sure thing lifeless! http://paste.ubuntu.com/747605/
[22:34] <lifeless> interesting
[22:34] <lifeless> I have no idea whats up here
[22:34] <lifeless> thumper: hey, do you happen to remember ^
[22:34] <thumper> hi
[22:34] <lifeless> thumper: wrong email address being associated w/commits
[22:34] <thumper> whats up?
[22:34] <poolie> i wonder if the bot has the same address or something
[22:34] <marcoceppi> If it helps, my account and the ondina account once shared an email address, I changed the Ondina address to resolve this but it seems to have remembered>
[22:34] <poolie> :)
[22:34] <marcoceppi> (marco@ceppi.net)
[22:35] <poolie> did you change that after 2011-11-20?
[22:35] <thumper> is this linking revision authors to people?
[22:35] <marcoceppi> I changed it about two weeks ago
[22:35] <poolie> yes
[22:35]  * marcoceppi looks for lp email
[22:35] <thumper> ok... what happens is as follows
[22:36] <marcoceppi> Sat, 19 Nov 2011 21:15:24 -0000 (11/19/2011 04:15:24 PM)
[22:36] <thumper> when a new revision author is found
[22:36] <thumper> the email address is looked up internally
[22:36] <thumper> and the person with that email address is linked to that revision author
[22:36] <thumper> once a person is linked, it is never looked at again
[22:36] <thumper> if a person isn't found at that time
[22:36] <thumper> it is looked up periodically
[22:36] <thumper> and if found, linked
[22:37] <poolie> right
[22:37] <poolie> i wonder if it could be matching against a disabled address
[22:37] <maxb> The hugely non-obvious bit is that the linkage is between *full revision author string* and LP person
[22:37] <poolie> hi maxb
[22:37] <maxb> Not between extracted email address and LP person
[22:38] <thumper> well, the email part is extracted
[22:38] <poolie> really?
[22:38] <thumper> each full revision author string has a separate row in the revision author table
[22:38] <thumper> there can be multiple rows containing the same extracted email address
[22:38] <thumper> and depending on a point in time, these could potentially link to different actual LP people
[22:39] <marcoceppi> So, how can I fix this?
[22:39] <lifeless> thumper: thanks
[22:39] <lifeless> so there are two things here I think
[22:39] <lifeless> a) we shouldn't ever link to teams; teams don't do commits.
[22:40] <lifeless> thats a bug, if its not filed already.
=== epsy is now known as \u03b5
[22:40] <lifeless> b) we can update the reference in the DB to not point at the team.
[22:40] <lifeless> for that, please open a ticket at answers.launchpad.net/launchpad
[22:41] <marcoceppi> lifeless: Will this be retoactive? IE: Fix all previous commits?
[22:41] <lifeless> marcoceppi: IIRC, yres.
[22:42] <marcoceppi> Awesome, I can keep committing then :)
[22:42] <lifeless> thumper: do you agree that (a) is a defect?
[22:43] <thumper> if (a) happens, yes I'd agree it is a defect
[22:45] <poolie> so if on the 20th
[22:45] <poolie> that email address was no longer associated with the team
[22:45] <poolie> why would revisions pushed on the 20th still get linked to the team?
[22:54] <wgrant> poolie: BranchAuthor is forever.
[22:55] <wgrant> Er, RevisionAuthor
[22:56] <poolie> yes i know
[22:56] <poolie> but how can new revisionauthor records be created, for new revisions, chasing a no-longer-existing user-email mapping?
[22:56] <wgrant> No no.
[22:57] <wgrant> Revision references a RevisionAuthor
[22:57] <wgrant> RevisionAuthor is a (id, name, email, person)
