[09:46] <probono> hi all, stupid question, how do i link my PPA packages so that they appear on my project homepage?
[09:46] <probono> i'd like to have a link to my PPA packages appear on https://launchpad.net/liveusb
[09:47] <wgrant> probono: You could link to your PPA in the homepage content, but there's no way to linmk iti anywhere else.
[09:47] <probono> i don't quite understand the "Packaging" section of that page
[09:47] <probono> played around with it, and now can't remove what i put there by mistake
[09:48] <wgrant> You have to remove it from the other end.
[09:48] <wgrant> It's one of the most thoroughly confusing bits of LP UI.
[09:48] <probono> indeed, wgrant :-)
[09:48] <wgrant> Those links are for packages within distributions.
[09:48] <probono> so there is no way to get my PPA into "Packaging information", for example?
[09:48] <wgrant> No.
[09:48] <probono> hum
[09:49] <wgrant> probono: Ah, those links are actually there permanently.
[09:49] <probono> a button "download from PPA" just like "Report a bug" or "Ask a question" would *rock*. :-)
[09:50] <probono> and what does the "Download project files" section do? it's empty and i see no apparent way to fill it
[09:51] <wgrant> probono: You can upload files to that section by creating a release of your project.
[09:51] <probono> ah, ok. i see.
[09:52] <probono> still not ppa debs, i guess. ;-)
[09:52] <wgrant> As for your previous question, bug #205637 is what you want, bug #157342 is why you can't remove those packaging links, and there are a few bugs on the ridiculous package link UI that I can't find right now.

[09:52] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 157342 in launchpad "PPA-created SourcePackageNames appear to exist in Ubuntu too" [High,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/157342
[09:53] <probono> thanks wgrant and ubottu
[09:53] <wgrant> !ubottu
[09:53] <ubottu> I am ubottu, the all-knowing infobot, standing in for ubotu while he's getting his haircut done, nose powdered, updated and transitioned to his new gorgeous looks in the near future ;)
[09:53] <probono> lol
[10:16] <moquist> how can I get an @ubuntu.com email address?
[10:20] <stgraber> moquist: are you a Ubuntu member ?
[10:21] <stgraber> hmm, you aren't, best for you is to go trough Ubuntu or Edubuntu membership procedure which will give your the e-mail address, right to use the ubuntu logo on business cards and the ubuntu/member cloak on IRC
[10:22] <stdin> and an inner sense of well being :)
[10:22] <moquist> stgraber: right; thx. I thought I'd done that, but apparently not.
[10:23] <stgraber> moquist: after the work on moodle and other LTSP things, edubuntu membership is probably the best way for you to become a member.

[15:30] <Laney> Should I be able to email LP with any of my registered email addresses?
[15:30] <Laney> I don't seem to be able to use the email interface at all.
[15:30] <Laney> (from this one address, haven't tried it with others)
[15:32] <gmb> Laney: Is the email address you're using confirmed in Launchpad?
[15:32] <Laney> gmb: Yep
[15:33] <Laney> gmb: It's not my "contact address" though - should this matter?
[15:33] <gmb> Laney: No, you should be able to use any confirmed email address.
[15:33] <gmb> Laney: What are you trying to do?
[15:33] <Laney> gmb: I've tried to file a bug, and to comment on an existing one
[15:33] <Laney> Neither works, and fails silently
[15:34] <gmb> Laney: Hmm. How long ago did you try this?
[15:34] <Laney> gmb: Yesterday and today
[15:39] <gmb> Laney: That's weird. What's your Launchpad ID?
[15:39] <Laney> gmb: It's laney
[15:39] <gmb> Laney: Okay, I'll get someone to take a look and see if they see what's going on.
[15:40] <Laney> gmb: Thanks a lot

[17:59] <philn> i thought that was supported ?
[18:01] <thekorn> philn, by wubwatch you mean linking a bug to an upstream bug tracker?
[18:02] <philn> ah i think i found: "also affect distribution"
[18:02] <thekorn> bugwatch, I mean
[18:02] <philn> i want to link a debian bug with a LP bug

[19:51] <lpd79> Hi all, I'm trying to figure out something related to PPA / Copy Packages
[19:54] <lpd79> Not sure if anyone is knowledgeable about that in this channel
[19:57] <lpd79> Well. I'll ask anyway; I guess if anybody has a clue then I'll get an answer
[19:57] <lpd79> I've uploaded a source package to my PPA
[19:57] <lpd79> It was build fine (for i386, amd64 and lpia)
[19:58] <lpd79> So I have Hardy binary packages
[19:58] <lpd79> Then, I copied the source package from Hardy to Gutsy (in the same PPA)
[19:58] <lpd79> It also seemed to build fine, i.e. the build logs contained no errors
[19:58] <lpd79> But I can
[19:58] <lpd79> I can't find the Gutsy binary packages
[20:00] <lpd79> I don't even see how it could ever work, since all binary packages end up in pool/main/...
[20:00] <lpd79> And the Hardy binary packages don't have anything in their name to identify them as Hardy-specific
[20:01] <lpd79> I.e. if the Gutsy .deb's were built, they would have the same name as the Hardy .deb's and end up in the same directory
[20:01] <geser> I remember seeing someone asking the same question here but I don't remember anymore the solution
[20:01] <lpd79> So something is amiss. Perhaps it's *not* allowed to Copy Packages to the same PPA, changing only the distribution series?
[20:02] <geser> iirc just copying the source package was not a good idea
[20:02] <lpd79> Argh...
[20:04] <lpd79> I saw a mention of a mailing list at some point, but I can't find it
[20:05] <lpd79> Ah, it has to be launchpad-users

[21:30] <sebner> Hey folks. emget and /me are new ubuntumembers (through universe-contributors) and wondering how long does it take to enable our @ubuntu.com mail adresses. I'm waiting since 12 days ;) And yes I tried to mail to the adress
[21:30] <sebner> *emgent
[21:31] <emgent> true :)
[21:31] <emgent> but i think that we should wait Kiko
[22:02] <thumper> sebner: it is possible that UDS has put a kink in the timeframe
[22:03] <sebner> thumper: ah I see. just wondering since I'm waiting since 12 days
[22:03] <thumper> sebner: it is always good to ask, I'm just suggesting a possible reason :)
[22:04] <sebner> thumper: ok thanks
[22:04] <thumper> just here to help :)
[22:05] <thumper> well, answer but not actually help
[22:06] <sebner> ^^
[22:16] <jussi01> can someone remind me of the address for the LP build queue (for ppa's)?
