[04:42] <mwhudson> launchpad doesn't do any js drag and drop yet does it?
[04:49] <wgrant> mwhudson: None.
[07:00] <ronin___> Hi
[07:00] <ronin___> Could you help me about launchpad.net is resterict for Iranian people or not?
[07:03] <ronin___> When I want access to launchpad, I can't
[07:03] <ronin___> anybody can help me?
[07:04] <stub> ronin___: Launchpad is available to everyone.
[07:04] <ronin___> stub: but when I wanna access to it, I can't
[07:05] <stub> ronin___: Problems are not at the Launchpad end. Launchpad is SSL only, so if that might have got it put on some filters.
[07:06] <ronin___> stub: do you have any suggestion?
[07:06] <ronin___> stub: unlikely Iran has a filter, before I use yourfreedom for access to launchpad
[07:07] <ronin___> but nowadays Iran gov decide to close the VPN port
[07:09] <mrevell> Hey up?
[07:10] <stub> ronin___: I can't help diagnose connection issues sorry. Its standard HTTPS / SSL stuff at the Launchpad end.
[07:11] <ronin___> when I ping the launchpad.net I've got the reply but when I want access by browser I've got This webpage is not available
[07:12] <tsimpson> ronin___: then something is blocking you connecting to Launchpad over https, but there's nothing that can be done about it on the launchpad.net end
[07:25] <lifeless> ronin___: we don't filter at our end
[07:28] <ronin___> thank you all
[08:41] <alkisg> I'm receiving message because I'm indirectly subscribed to the  Ubuntu Documentation Project Team: Alkis Georgopoulos → Edubuntu Council → Edubuntu Website → Edubuntu Documentation Team → Ubuntu Documentation Project Team
[08:41] <alkisg> Can I somehow configure launchpad to not send me those messages, without unsubscribing from edubuntu?
[08:42] <alkisg> (I'm mainly talking about mails for launchpad bugs related to the docs team)

[10:07] <Sweetshark> is there a way to query launchpad for a machine readable bug list?
[10:07] <wgrant> Sweetshark: https://help.launchpad.net/API
[10:07] <Sweetshark> wgrant: thanks
[10:07] <nigelb> Related reading, launchpadlib.
[11:00] <Sweetshark> wgrant, nigelb: How do I get a list of bug filed against "openoffice.org (Ubuntu)" with that? I guess it works somehow from project->task->bug ...
[11:01] <wgrant> Sweetshark: That's the openoffice.org source package in Ubuntu.
[11:02] <wgrant> So, something like lp.distributions['ubuntu'].getSourcePackage(name='openoffice.org').searchTasks()
[11:22] <Sweetshark> wgrant: i tries something like lp.distributions['ubuntu'].getSourcePackage(name='openoffice.org').searchTasks(status="New") but I still get  timeout errrors

[12:58] <alkisg> Hi, I'm receiving launchpad bug notifications from the Ubuntu Documentation Project Team because I'm indirectly subscribed to it: Alkis Georgopoulos → Edubuntu Council → Edubuntu Website → Edubuntu Documentation Team → Ubuntu Documentation Project Team
[12:58] <alkisg> Can I somehow configure launchpad to not send me those emails, without unsubscribing from edubuntu?
[12:59] <jml> alkisg: if it's bug mail, you can go to the project that you're getting mail from and change your mail subscription there
[13:00] <alkisg> jml, it's not just one project, I'm getting bug mails for all the bugs where the Ubuntu Documentation Project Team gets subscribed
[13:00] <alkisg> Currently that's about 50 mails per day...
[13:01] <adeuring> alkisg: the mails you receive have at the bottom a link to a oage where you can configure the subscription
[13:01] <adeuring> s/oage/page/
[13:01] <alkisg> adeuring: that's still a per-project link
[13:02] <alkisg> So I'd need to do that for dozens of projects, and keep doing it as new bugs arrive
[13:02] <alkisg> And, I'd lose notifications about those projects that I actually care about (i.e. not related to docs)
[13:03] <alkisg> "You received this bug notification because you are a (*indirect*) member of Ubuntu Documentation Project Team, which is subscribed to the bug report." ==> so I'd like to be able to cancel the bug mail that comes from that subscription....
[13:04] <alkisg> *team subscription, not bug subscription
[13:04] <adeuring> right...
[13:05] <alkisg> OK - I was just checking if that functionality existed and I failed to see it - thank you guys.
[13:06] <adeuring> alkisg: I am still thinking about it... But I'm afraid that there is not yet a proper way. But I understand quite well that the amount of mails you are recieving is really annoying. Would you mind to file a bug about it?
[13:06] <alkisg> Sure, in which subsystem? launchpad itself?
[13:06] <adeuring> alkisg: yes, in LP itself.
[13:06] <alkisg> Thank you
[13:06] <wgrant> alkisg: Many consider it bad practice to subscribe teams to bugs (particularly when they're involved in large hierarchies like this), unless they have a mailing list and contact address set up.
[13:07] <wgrant> For just this reason.
[13:07] <wgrant> It makes mail really hard to manage.
[13:07] <alkisg> Yeah :(
[13:07] <adeuring> It seems to me that a five-level indirection of subscriptions should not cause mail notifications...

[15:27] <bjsnider> is there a way i can upload to a ppa without typing in a password first?
[15:28] <bigjools> what is prompting you for a password?
[15:28] <TheEvilPhoenix> i think he means the  sftp passcodes
[15:28] <TheEvilPhoenix> s/sftp/ftp/
[15:29] <bigjools> there are no passwords for ftp, it's anonymous
[15:29] <bigjools> I suspect it's the GPG passphrase
[15:29] <bjsnider> ftp asks me for a password and then doesn't care what i type in
[15:30] <bjsnider> i'd also like to not have to unlock anything to use sftp
[15:30] <bjsnider> this machine is secure
[15:30] <bigjools> if you use dput it doesn't ask for a password
[15:30] <TheEvilPhoenix> ^
[15:31] <bjsnider> yes it does
[15:31] <bigjools> then you have it configured wrongly
[15:31] <bigjools> what are you uploading to?
[15:32] <bjsnider> is there a way i can upload using sftp and not have to type in a password?
[15:32] <bigjools> what are you uploading to?
[15:32] <bjsnider> a ppa
[15:33] <bigjools> what command are you using to upload?
[15:34] <bjsnider> dput ppaname *changes
[15:34] <bigjools> and you configured ppaname in your .dput.cf?
[15:34] <bigjools> if you are using karmic or higher you can just do: dput ppa:launchpadid/ppaname changes
[15:35] <bigjools> if you want to use SFTP look here: https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+faq/1738
[15:38] <bjsnider> bigjools, so adding the colon and launchpadid stops the unlock request?
[15:39] <bigjools> what unlock request?
[15:39] <bigjools> is that something different to the ftp password?
[15:39] <bjsnider> if i use sftp as the method, i get a request to unlock something first
[15:39] <bjsnider> maybe the keyring
[15:40] <bigjools> passphrase on your ssh key?
[15:40] <bjsnider> ok, maybe that's it
[15:51] <bjsnider> when i use ftp it asks for "[email protected] password:"
[15:51] <bjsnider> i just hit enter and it continues
[15:54] <bigjools> please paste me a copy of your screen for that, and your .dput.cf
[16:06] <bjsnider> i've been using this dput.cf successfully for years, so i doubt there's anything wrong with it
[16:06] <bigjools> I can't help you unless you help me
[16:08] <bjsnider> i think bzr-builddeb is responsible for this
[16:15] <bjsnider> fixed this issue by changing to login = anonymous
[16:16] <bigjools> so there was a problem with your dut.cf then
[16:16] <bigjools> dput.cf even
[16:16] <bjsnider> i must have changed that part of it when i switched to sftp because of this alleged router bug
[16:17] <bjsnider> my router is as expensive as they come, so i hate to think there's a bug in it
[16:18] <bigjools> you don't need an explicit target defined for PPA uploads
[16:19] <bigjools> the system dput.cf has one
[16:19] <bigjools> but that FAQ shows you how to add an extra one for SFTP
[16:19] <Sweetshark> so, I just submitted a bulk change to launchpad via email and the comments for the change were ignored. Is there an easy way to post a comment to multiple bugs via email?
[16:20] <Sweetshark> or do I need to use launchpadlib?
[16:20] <Sweetshark> (which feels rather cumbersome to me)
[16:35] <deryck> Sweetshark, you'll need the api for that.

[19:02] <mgariepy> hi, is there a way to disable bug mail notification from some team and not other?
[20:18] <Daviey> Is it not possible to open a task with no package, if there are already tasks with packages on the same bug?
[20:20] <abentley> mgariepy: I don't think there is.
[20:20] <abentley> Daviey: tasks have either a package or a project.  Do you mean opening a task with a project?
[20:21] <mgariepy> abentley, ok thanks for your answer :)
[20:22] <Daviey> abentley: I want a Ubuntu bug, with no source package.  There are already 2 x tasks with Ubuntu packages, but i need a third one for a package that is TBD.
[20:23] <abentley> deryck: Can you answer this one? ^^
[20:27]  * deryck looks....
[20:30] <deryck> Daviey, you can't open a task against Ubuntu without a package, once there is an Ubuntu task already.  sorry.
[20:36] <Daviey> sucks2beme
[20:40] <kiko> Daviey, when you say it's tbd what is the specific situation?
[20:41] <nigelb> I'm guessing package is yet to be uploaded.
[20:41] <Daviey> kiko: It's a NEW package, so cannot mark a task against it.
[20:41] <Daviey> nigelb: bingo.
[20:41] <kiko> that's kinda bong
[20:49] <deryck> Daviey, I can't find a bug for this situation.  Can you open one against launchpad explaining all this?
[20:50] <Daviey> deryck: wilco.
[20:53] <astraljava> Hi folks, I never created a new branch in LP before, but now that I made one under ~ubuntustudio-dev (a team in which I belong to), it has +junk in it, which is a tad inpropriate. How to get rid of it?
[20:54] <flacoste> astraljava: create a project and push the branch to it
[20:54] <flacoste> Launchpad is very project-centric
[20:55] <flacoste> and our story for incubation (growing from a small branch to a proper "project") is very poor
[20:55] <astraljava> flacoste: But it should be under ubuntustudio project, I believe.
[20:56] <flacoste> then push to that
[20:56] <flacoste> bzr push lp:~ubuntustudiodev/ubuntustudio/<branch-name>
[20:56] <flacoste> i'm missing an hyphen there, sorry
[20:56] <flacoste> (in the team name)
[20:56] <flacoste> astraljava: you can then delte the +junk branch
[20:57] <astraljava> flacoste: Okay, let me try that.
[20:59] <astraljava> flacoste: Thanks, it worked! I missed the +junk there, as I copied it from the page of the branch I created on the website. I didn't know I could create it by simply pushing in bzr. Thanks so much!

[23:07] <Laney> has something gone wrong with debian imports?
[23:08] <james_w> I think they are disabled currently
[23:08] <james_w> or were for the last couple of days
[23:08] <james_w> assuming you mean packages, rather than bugs
[23:08] <Laney> yeah
[23:09] <james_w> wgrant, will of course be able to speak more knowledgeably on the subject
[23:10] <wgrant> I am just speaking to admins about turning them back on, right now.
[23:10] <wgrant> There were some issues with the migration to set things to Superseded and Deletions.
[23:10] <Laney> awesome
[23:11] <wgrant> So it'll actually properly represent the Debian archive, which will be handy.
[23:12] <Laney> well, I'll try this sync again in the morning then
[23:12] <Laney> goodnight
[23:12] <Laney> thanks for the update
