[02:32] <bimberi> $ bzr branch lp:hwtest
[02:32] <bimberi> bzr: ERROR: Revision {david.murphy@canonical.com-20080417161838-a2tfnk26kx1q7vjf} not present in "revisions.kndx".
[02:33] <bimberi> 'bzr co --lightweight' works (but not just 'bzr co').
[02:46] <jml> hmm
[02:48] <jml> bimberi: what happens if you do 'bzr branch http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~hardware-certification/hwtest/trunk'?
[02:58] <jml> bimberi: I appear to get the same error. At a guess, I'd say that the branch needs to be fixed by someone who has a copy
[03:00] <bimberi> jml: your command worked
[03:00] <jml> *interesting*
[03:02] <jml> bimberi: are you a member of the hardware-certification team?
[03:05] <wgrant> I thought they said that they fixed all of those branches.
[03:05] <wgrant> After they broke them a few weeks ago.
[03:05] <bimberi> jml: no (sorry so unresponsove, frequently afk atm)
[03:05] <wgrant> (they being lp-bzr people)
[03:05] <jml> wgrant: I am they.
[03:06] <wgrant> jml: I always forget which team you're in, sorry.
[03:06] <jml> wgrant: np :)
[03:06] <wgrant> Too many LP people.
[03:07] <jml> wgrant: when we fixed up the branches that the LP bug corrupted, we noticed other corrupted branches that were not caused by us.
[03:07] <rockstar> I've seen corrupt branches on launchpad that were user errors...
[03:07] <jml> right.
[03:08] <jml> or bzr client errors.
[03:08] * jml tries fetching the branch over sftp
[03:09] <jml> if it works there, then it's probably a bazaar bug.
[03:09] * bimberi retries lp:hwtest - same error. Now retrying http://...
[03:16] <bimberi> "Branched 300 revision(s)."
[03:16] <bimberi> So yes it worked.
[03:16] <wgrant> But that'll be an outdated version.
[03:18] <rockstar> wgrant, why would it be outdated?
[03:19] <anilm> do you guys know about this?
[03:19] <anilm> Sorry, there was a problem connecting to the Launchpad server.
[03:19] <jml> anilm: what URL were you connecting to?
[03:19] <anilm> jml: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~amakhijani/survv/blog/files
[03:20] <jml> anilm: I've also had problems connecting to the code browsing service.
[03:20] <wgrant> rockstar: If the branch is broken on SFTP, won't it not have been pushed to HTTP for a while?
[03:20] <anilm> jml: ahh ok
[03:21] <rockstar> jml would know authoritatively, but I think not.
[03:21] <jml> wgrant: if you don't have write access, you should get the same version of the branch no matter what protocol you use.
[03:22] <wgrant> jml: Ah.
[03:23] * jml can get the branch via sftp, but not via bzr+ssh
[03:24] <jml> I'm guessing this is a Bazaar bug.
[03:24] <jml> afaict, the version of the branch that I've got (as a non-team-member) is the latest.
[03:26] <jml> I can't see any relevant errors in the logs I've got on hand.
[03:26] <jml> I'll chase it up with the Bazaar guys tomorrow.
[04:17] <nixternal> not being able to connect to bazaar in LP, is that known yet?
[04:18] <nixternal> give me the "try reloading in a few" message
[04:18] <beuno> nixternal, Loggerhead? as in "view revisions/code"?
[04:18] <nixternal> yes
[04:18] <beuno> well, it's been misbehaving for a few days now
[04:19] <nixternal> k, it was working perfectly earlier, as it was flying allowing me to steal, I mean research, other's code :)
[04:19] <beuno> heheh
[04:19] <nixternal> k, I will try again later then...thanks beuno
[04:20] <beuno> I think the devs are aware, and, AFAIK, a new version is being rolled out on wednsday, which should make it work much better
[04:20] <nixternal> groovy
[05:19] <lifeless> beuno: generally any misbheaviour is considered a severe problem and should be escalated, for future reference
[05:20] <beuno> lifeless, ah, alright. Since jml was notified above, and it has been the case for the past days, I didn't think it was worth bothering anyone. I'll make sure to be more annoying next time :)
[05:21] <lifeless> beuno: uhm, I think he interpreted it as a branch specific thing
[05:21] <jml> lifeless: no I didn't.
[05:21] <lifeless> oh
[05:21] <jml> I interpreted it as an intermittent thing.
[05:22] <lifeless> well, I'm chasing it
[05:22] <jml> thanks.
[05:34] <lifeless> its up and running
[05:35] <beuno> thanks lifeless :)
[08:57] <Zic> hi, I've a question not close related to Launchpad : I'm an Ubuntu Member with an @ubuntu.com alias mail which I use mainly into the free software world mailing-list, I recently change to a new domain name my email server, and @ubuntu.com alias alway forward mails to the old one
[08:58] <Zic> I just changed my default e-mail contact in my launchpad account
[08:58] <Zic> (to my new zic@newdomain.org)
[08:58] <wgrant> It should change automatically within a few days.
[08:58] <Zic> How long Launchpad "rehash" email alias ?
[08:58] <Zic> few days ? thanks for your help :)
[08:59] <wgrant> Might be nightly, I forget.
[09:00] <Zic> can you confirm that Launchpad use the e-mail contact defined in accounts ? because, after my migration, I use my @ubuntu.com alias for e-mail contact on Launchpad
[09:00] <Zic> I just changed it to my newdomain, because I thought Launchpad use the contact adress to do the alias forward
[09:01] <wgrant> I believe that setting your ubuntu.com alias as your primary Launchpad address will cause problems.
[09:01] <wgrant> But IANALPD, I've just heard it happen to people.
[09:01] <Zic> yes, I believe it too, it's why I set it to my new email adress
[09:15] <geser> doesn't LP use the first non @ubuntu.com email address for mail forwarding anymore?
=== asac_ is now known as asac
=== Spads_ is now known as Spads
[11:46] <persia> geser: That matches my experience, but the tales of those who manipulate accounts with primary set to @ubuntu.com are legion: likely best to set something else primary before any adjustment, and once complete, maybe set back @ubuntu.com
[14:13] <cyberix> Please give me a feature that helps me keep track about the Ubuntu packages I have been working with.
[14:13] <wgrant> cyberix: What do you mean by "keep track"?
[14:13] <cyberix> My use case is as follows
[14:13] <cyberix> 1) I'm working on a new Ubuntu package
[14:13] <cyberix> 2) Someone points out a bug in my packaging
[14:14] <cyberix> 3) I realize I did the same error on all my previous packages
[14:14] <cyberix> 4) I try to remember all the packages I created
[14:14] <wgrant> 5) Look at https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+packages.
[14:14] <wgrant> 6) ???
[14:14] <wgrant> 7) Profit.
[14:14] <Matt-W> Hello. There seems to be a lock stuck on one of my project's bzr branches.
[14:15] <cyberix> wgrant: Thank you. That is just what I'm looking for.
[14:15] <wgrant> Matt-W: Use bzr break-lock on it, if it says it's held by you.
[14:15] <Matt-W> wgrant: unfortunately it's held by somebody else
[14:16] <Matt-W> for 951 hours and counting
[14:16] <wgrant> Matt-W: Who supposedly has it held?
[14:16] <Matt-W> held by jamesbrashko@bazaar.launchpad.net on host vostok [process #25147]
[14:16] <Matt-W> locked 951 hours, 31 minutes ago
[14:16] <Matt-W> he's the other person with commit access to the branch
[14:17] <wgrant> You can probably safely break it - I doubt he's still doing anything with it after 40 days
[14:17] <spiv> It's highly unlikely that they've actually been doing a commit for the last 951 hours :)
[14:17] <cyberix> What happens to translations that people contribute for Ubuntu?
[14:17] <Matt-W> he's not been able to commit at all this may explain it
[14:17] <wgrant> cyberix: They go into the next language pack update.
[14:17] <cyberix> The language pack then overwrites the translations that I ship?
[14:18] <cyberix> the ones that are included in my original package
[14:18] <Matt-W> woo, a successful commit
[14:18] <Matt-W> Thanks
[14:19] <wgrant> cyberix: Those translations aren't in your package if said package is in main.
[14:19] <wgrant> cyberix: If your package is in universe or multiverse, it is not translated in Launchpad at this time.
[14:19] <cyberix> Oh
[14:19] <cyberix> Interresting
[14:20] <cyberix> Ofcourse it makes sense to atleast have them separate
[14:20] <cyberix> otherwise the task of translating Ubuntu would grow insanely big
[14:20] <wgrant> It's actually largely due to technical issues with getting the universe translations to end users, I believe.
[14:22] <cyberix> I'm having trouble with creating a process to handle Launchpad translations for a piece of software I wrote
[14:22] <cyberix> I change one letter in the original software
[14:22] <cyberix> then I have to create a new translation template
[14:22] <cyberix> which makes all translations go fuzzy
[14:22] <cyberix> and as, my software is not very common, no-one will check those
[14:24] <cyberix> I'm currently "just including" all the translations I get from Launchpad
[14:24] <cyberix> but I've understood that this leads to broken user experience
[14:25] <cyberix> Also I'm not sure, if I'd like to do new releases all the time because some translation was updated.
[14:27] <cyberix> I should find myself some guide for managing this
[14:27] <cyberix> It is just that most guides concentrate on the technical issues
[14:40] <shirish> hi all, if a bug affects two versions of Ubuntu, say Intrepid as well as Hardy, how can I show that?
[14:41] <shirish> I have seen those kind of bugs but don't know how people affected that change.
[14:41] <shirish> nominate for release?
[14:42] <persia> shirish: If you've tested against both, and you think it's important enough to get fixed as a stable release update, you can Nominate it for hardy.
[14:44] <shirish> persia the bug I've bug #240191 affects both hardy and intrepid, its a merge request of a package from debian
[14:44] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 240191 in postr "Please merge postr 0.12.1-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/240191
[14:45] <Hobbsee> that doesn't affect hardy.
[14:45] <Hobbsee> as in, hardy doesn't get 'merges'
[14:46] <shirish> Hobbsee: ah ok, it should be called a sync then or what, somebody else reported it, I just added stuff.
[14:46] <persia> Also, #ubuntu-bugs is a better place for this sort of discussion.
[14:46] <shirish> ah ok, sorry guys
[14:46] <Hobbsee> it should be caleld a stable release update, adn only the critical changes should be pushed into hardy.
[14:46] <Hobbsee> or the entire thing backported.
[14:46] <Hobbsee> neither of which is a merge.
[14:47] <shirish> true, so the description needs to be changed.
[14:48] <Hobbsee> no, it shouldnt, as it's valid for intrepid.
[14:48] <Hobbsee> which is what hte bug was first for.
[14:48] <Hobbsee> before you attempted to sidetracker.
[14:48] <Hobbsee> er, side track it.
[14:50] <shirish> ok I would be just happy when I get the updated package, that's about it
[15:42] <phobie> Are watch-files parsed on PPA?
[15:44] <Hobbsee> phobie: parsed how?
[15:45] <phobie> show me if my package is up to date
[15:45] <phobie> like uscan or on debian.net
[15:45] <Hobbsee> ppas do not have internet access, so, no
[15:46] <Hobbsee> (beyond the mirror, anyway)
