| [11:54] <Laibsch> how can I disable display of remote bug comments in a cluttered ticket like bug 1103420? | |

| [20:53] <prof_milki> Is there a global list of newest project releases on launchpad? | |
| [21:22] <wgrant> prof_milki: There is not. | |
| [21:24] <prof_milki> That's either a pity :/ or good enough of a reason to investigate the API further.. | |
| [21:24] <prof_milki> I've seen there's a `release_notes` field for project_release; just not sure if any projects are actually utilizing them. | |
| [21:26] <wgrant> What are you trying to do? | |
| [21:27] <prof_milki> Trying to utilize launchpad as another source for http://freshcode.club/ - either just a RSS feed of new release obviously, or even yet as auotupdate module (automatic changelog fetching, have something working for github-hosted projects and sourceforge already; but launchpad would be just as useful). | |
| [21:34] <wgrant> Hm, I might be able to add an API for that. | |
| [21:35] <wgrant> There's no way to get that information today. | |
| [21:39] <prof_milki> Don't worry. I haven't really looked through everything yet; but the API looks nice enough (it's just OAuth which makes me relunctant); I guess I could probably start with a tiny polling process to find a few samples for https://launchpad.net/+apidoc/1.0.html#project_release | |
| [21:39] <wgrant> The API can be used anonymously without OAuth. | |
| [21:40] <wgrant> Just make sure your User-Agent is descriptive so we can work out who to contact if necessary. | |
| [21:40] <wgrant> But currently you'd have to poll all projects to find their recent releases, which is impractical. | |
| [21:41] <prof_milki> Tried a few API points (/person) using plain Opera/x.y; but only got empty sets. But if it works without OAuth, I'll give it a whirl. | |
| [21:42] <wgrant> Do you just use GitHub's /events and filter that manually? | |
| [21:42] <prof_milki> Sort of. I'm actually fetching blobs via GitHubArchive (line-delimited events indeed). | |
| [21:42] <wgrant> /people is special and won't give you the full collection. | |
| [21:42] <prof_milki> I've previously polled GitHubs directly, which also worked, but uneccessary if there's already GHA. | |
| [21:43] <wgrant> https://launchpad.net/api/devel/projects works, though. | |
| [21:45] <prof_milki> Ah cool. Thanks! | |
| [21:45] <prof_milki> So there's an easy way to assemble a list then. | |
| [21:46] <prof_milki> Long-term I'm just going to poll freshcode-listed projects though - there's quite a few already with PPA + Launchpad links already; so I'll get targeted updates for them specifically. | |
| [21:46] <wgrant> Ah, if you're just polling selected projects, then sure. | |
| [21:47] <wgrant> If you were polling tens of thousands a day I'd spend the time to add an API to get a global collection of releases ordered by date. | |
| [21:47] <prof_milki> Do you have a quota or something? | |
| [21:47] <wgrant> No. | |
| [21:47] <wgrant> We just block people if they're being disruptive, which happens occasionally. | |
| [21:47] <prof_milki> I'd want to give a global list a try anyway, see if it's within acceptable limits. As a project-updates feed would be nice to have anyway. | |
| [21:48] <prof_milki> It turned out to be quite minor traffic with GHA and GitHub anyway, and I'm pretty sure a slow polling script with the same caching might be workable. | |
