[00:00] <cbmuser> ah, the .dsc-file lists the orig-file now
[00:00] <cbmuser> it didn't do that before
[00:00] <cbmuser> weird
[00:02] <cbmuser> ok, do I need orig.tar.gz for launchpad or not
[00:03] <cbmuser> I changed it such that it wouldn't upload the orig-file
[00:03] <cbmuser> and it works
[00:25] <cbmuser> ah, debuild -S -sa

[00:30] <maxb> You need to upload the .orig.tar.gz if and only if it is not already in your PPA (or in Ubuntu)

[02:13] <mtaylor> thumper: stewart is frustrated with how merge proposal resubmission works
[02:13] <thumper> mtaylor: ok
[02:13] <thumper> mtaylor: what is his use case?
[02:13] <thumper> mtaylor: is he sure he wants to actually resubmit?
[02:14] <mtaylor> thumper: well, he wants to say "o hai, I did ur review comments, look at me again"
[02:14] <mtaylor> thumper: but then he wants to not lose the conversation thread
[02:14] <thumper> mtaylor: we have quite a few outstanding bugs around resubmit right now
[02:15] <thumper> mtaylor: I think we should come up with a nicer workflow than resubmitting
[02:15] <mtaylor> thumper: agree. resubmitting is a bit harsh
[02:15] <thumper> mtaylor: one of the outstanding bugs is around showing the conversation from superseded proposals
[02:15] <mtaylor> thumper: cool. I'll tell him that
[02:16] <thumper> mtaylor: right now you can request another review from an existing reviewer
[02:17] <thumper> mtaylor: but nothing in the UI changes
[02:17] <thumper> mtaylor: and the email they get sent probably won't make the most sense
[02:17] <thumper> mtaylor: perhaps we should be able to have a completed review, and a pending one...
[02:17] <thumper> not sure
[02:17] <mtaylor> thumper: I think we depend on state of a merge proposal more than an action that one of those may have triggered
[02:18] <thumper> mtaylor: what if requesting a review from an existing reviewer cleared the state in the review box at the top
[02:18] <thumper> mtaylor: that way it would appear back in the "reviews I have to do" pile
[02:19] <mtaylor> thumper: that would probably be stellar
[02:19] <thumper> mtaylor: I'm wondering about the UI for it
[02:20] <mtaylor> stupid uis
[02:20] <thumper> :)
[02:20] <thumper> we could not provide anything additional
[02:20] <thumper> but just clear any existing reference to make it pending
[02:21] <thumper> there is already an email command to request a reviewer
[02:21] <thumper> did you know about that?
[02:21] <mtaylor> yes. I've actually even used it before
[02:22] <thumper> ok
[02:22] <thumper> I think we can do this quite easily then
[02:23] <thumper> I'm not sure when I'll get to it though
[02:23] <thumper> I have several other code-review things I'm doing right now
[02:23] <thumper> mtaylor: I'll file a bug
[02:23] <mtaylor> cool.... well, it's not _that_ urgent -it is only stewart after all

[07:20] <twb> Hiya.  I just wanted to say thanks for archiving upstream Debian releases, since I'm migrating old releases of a package into VCS, and it has some versions snapshots.d.n doesn't

[08:19] <dholbach> hiya
[08:20] <dholbach> is bug pages funny for somebody of you too?
[08:20]  * dholbach tries not to use edge
[08:20] <dholbach> ah, regular LP works
[08:21] <dholbach> with edge the right part of the bug pages (subscribers and stuff) is missing
[08:21] <tsimpson> yeah, the CSS is probably messed up
[08:21]  * dholbach nods
[08:21] <dholbach> hi tsimpson
[08:21] <tsimpson> \o
[08:21] <dholbach> :)
[08:22] <wgrant> I can't see what broke it, but it has been reported.
[08:22] <dholbach> thanks wgrant
[08:23] <tsimpson> wgrant: I'm seeing reset.css, fonts.css and grids.css giving 403 Forbidden
[08:24] <wgrant> r9968 looks possibly relevant.
[08:25] <wgrant> Yeah, I think it's the only one it could be.
[08:26]  * henninge reviewed that change ... :/
[08:26] <henninge> but I looked at all pages
[08:27] <henninge> wgrant: do you think the big word "infrastructure" in the cloud is breaking it?
[08:27]  * henninge tries with firebug
[08:28] <wgrant> henninge: grids.css is missing.
[08:28] <wgrant> As tsimpson says.
[08:28] <henninge> oh
[08:29] <wgrant> I don't know why they're 403ing, but that's definitely the problem.
[08:29] <wgrant> Hm, so that's all the YUI CSS.
[08:30] <dholbach> where's the LP police who can change permissions? :)
[08:31] <wgrant> Maybe a LOSA needs to poke the Apache configs in the eye.
[08:33] <henninge> wgrant: I will chase one up, although spm just bowed out and I am not sure if mthaddon is already up.
[08:47] <henninge> dholbach, wgrant, tsimpson: Fixed.
[08:48] <henninge> kudos to mthaddon
[08:49] <tsimpson> much better :)
[08:49] <wgrant> henninge, mthaddon: Thanks.
[08:50] <mthaddon> wgrant: we switched to building the code centrally before deploying and this caused issues with hard coded paths - will need to figure out a way around this
[08:50] <dholbach> henninge, mthaddon, tsimpson, wgrant: THANKS :)
[08:54] <wgrant> mthaddon: Ah, fun.

[11:39] <chmouel> hello anyone here?
[11:39] <chmouel> is there a problem with git import from launchpad ? ie: http://is.gd/5fQLU
[11:41] <wgrant> chmouel: There's a space at the start of that URL.
[11:42] <wgrant> chmouel: I suggest deleting and recreating that import.
[11:42] <wgrant> This time with the correct URL.
[11:42] <chmouel> oh you right cheers...
[11:42] <henninge> thanks wgrant
[11:45] <chmouel> so I am thinking instead to drop github as remote branch and get used to bazaar i can't seem to be able to push branch there i have done the usual bzr init bzr commit stuff and tried to push it to bazaar but i get this error http://is.gd/5fQX4 I am sure my ssh key works is properly setted, any idea?
[11:46] <chmouel> oh ok that's probably because it's already exist
[11:46] <chmouel> nevermind then
[11:51] <wgrant> chmouel: It's because it already exists as an imported (ie. read-only) branch.
[11:51] <Omahn> Are other people getting timeout errors when trying to submit bug reports at the moment? (Error ID: OOPS-1438M1820)

[11:53] <tabgal> Omahn, yes yes yes
[11:53]  * Omahn steps back from the keyboard
[11:53] <wgrant> chmouel: Did you mean to push a branch with only one revision? Don't you have history on github?
[11:54] <tabgal> Omahn, I'm not sure about the link ubottu posted, well... needs a user/passwd
[11:54] <tabgal> Omahn, but yeah, I'm trying to post a bug and I can't do it...
[11:55] <henninge> Omahn, tabgal: That link would not help atm either, as oopses only copied there once a day.
[11:55] <wgrant> tabgal, Omahn: Try using a shorter summary to start with. Once you've got past the step that normally times out, you can put back the full summary.
[11:55] <Omahn> wgrant: I'll give that a go, thanks.
[11:57] <Omahn> I'm in. Yeah.
[11:59] <Omahn> Submitted.
[11:59] <Omahn> Thanks wgrant.
[12:00] <wgrant> Omahn: np
[12:08] <chmouel> wgrant: yeah i have on github, i just wanted to push the full branch and it works well now that i deleted the imported one since i don't really need it
[12:08] <chmouel> only thing is bzr-git seems to give me some weird errors but i may just going to start from scratch and loose my history
[12:09] <wgrant> chmouel: What sort of weird errors?
[12:11] <chmouel> wgrant: http://is.gd/5fS7h
[12:13] <wgrant> chmouel: That's... interesting. What if you branch that git branch into a bzr branch locally?

[13:37] <bjsnider> is there any way i can get access to the config.err file produced by a build failure?
[13:47] <lfaraone> For projects that use Google Code, is there one tracker I can link them to, or does each gcode project need its own tracker registered?

[13:52] <bjsnider> yeah, it builds in pbuilder
[13:53] <Daviey> oh lovely.
[13:53] <bjsnider> well, i found out what the problem is
[13:54] <bjsnider> so no big deal
[13:54] <Daviey> bjsnider: what was it, out of interest?
[13:55] <bjsnider> well, i was building a new version of ffmpeg-extra
[13:56] <bjsnider> in pbuilder, i can't use my new x264 package to build against because it's not a repository, so i used the regular karmic repos
[13:56] <bjsnider> but x264 is so different that basically now the ABI is i dunno 100% different from the one int he karmic repos
[13:57] <bjsnider> i thought i had the latest ffmpeg-debian as per reinhard's instructions, but i didn't
[13:57] <bjsnider> so the ABI, i think i'm using the right tgerm there, was wrong and it was telling me libx264 wasn't present
[13:57] <bjsnider> because it was checking for a function that is now deprecated
[13:58] <bjsnider> those x264 devs throw all of the code out every 3 months or something. that is a very heavily developed project

[15:13] <henninge> Rova: you got it! ;)
[15:13] <Rova> henninge, Hmm, I'll have to change some of my translations to reflect that then, ouch ^^
[15:14] <lfaraone> Hey, can someone quickly confirm bug 494055? It requires two clicks, and is trivial.
[15:14] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 494055 in malone ""Report bug upstream" link uses literal "&amp;" in URL." [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/494055
[15:15] <Rova> Btw about translations, you should be able to comment and discuss translations.
[15:15] <henninge> lfaraone: The bug contacts for the application (LP Bugs) will be notified and then triage the bug.
[15:16] <henninge> lfaraone: thank you for your bug report ;)
[15:17] <Rova> What does triage actually mean in this context?
[15:17] <henninge> Rova: confirm it and determine its importance
[15:18] <Rova> henninge, Okey, and do you know what the protocole is if the hotkey is not possible to get into the translated sentance, shuld I simply skip it?
[15:19] <henninge> Rova: that kind of stuff should be discussed with the translation team, if there is one.
[15:19] <henninge> Rova: what are you translating and which language?
[15:19] <Rova> Buh, that was a very long sentance with very poor grammar btw. Hmm I guess I should contact the swedish Ubuntu translations team. I'm translating Docky
[15:21] <Rova> Docky was just recently forked off of Gnome Do so I'm the first one translating it. It's assigned to the Ubuntu translation team

[16:04] <tumbleweed> do auto-branch-landers use it?
