[00:34] <intellectronica> wgrant: i've landed a fix for the empty subjects, should be on edge after the next daily rollout
[00:35] <intellectronica> and the ui is also being worked on, should see some serious improvements in the next few days
[00:36] <intellectronica> cody-somerville: iirc there isn't because after that the plugin became part of the mozilla codebase
[00:38] <cody-somerville> intellectronica, do I need to go through the same process to register enabled bugzilla instances?
[00:39] <intellectronica> cody-somerville: process? unless i'm forgetting something, the only thing that can be done on LP is resetting existing watches, to make sure they update again using the plugin, no?
[00:39] <cody-somerville> The launchpad bugzilla plugin allowed for comment sharing

[01:41] <mac9416> Hello, on the Confirm your OpenPGP Key page I keep getting this error: "Launchpad could not verify your signature: (7, 9, 'No public key')"
[01:41] <mac9416> I have no idea what that means :-
[01:41] <mac9416> :-(
=== matsubara-dinner is now known as matsubara
[02:01] <thumper> mac9416: is your public key on a public keyserver?
[02:01] <mac9416> Yes, I sent it to keyserver.ubuntu.com
[02:02] <MT-> mac9416: did you add it to your profile?
[02:02] <wgrant> Make sure you signed the message with the right key.
[02:02] <MT-> probably a dumb question...
[02:03] <mac9416> I think it said so "A message has been sent to [email protected].           To confirm the key 4096R/F5F81AFB is yours,           follow the link inside.         "
[02:03] <wgrant> A lot of people end up signing it with the wrong key.
[02:03] <mac9416> I htink maybe that's what I'm doing.
[02:03] <mac9416> I'm not sure how to specify which key to sighn with, though,
[02:03] <MT-> wgrant: that's why I have one key for all 5 email accounts :P
[02:04] <mac9416> gpg --clearsign ~/clearsign apparently signs with the wrong key
[02:04] <mac9416> But I'm not sure how to specify which one to use
[02:04] <wgrant> mac9416: --default-key, I think.
[02:05] <mac9416> gpg --default-key <ID> ?
[02:05] <mac9416> mac9416@mac9416-laptop:~/devel$ gpg --default-key F5F81AFB/gpg: Go ahead and type your message ...

[02:12] <poolie> thumper: is there a bug for the whitespace probelm or should i file one?
[02:12] <poolie> mac9416: -u isn't it?
[02:13] <mac9416> I just deleted one of the keys, so it doesn't matter now :-D
[02:13] <poolie> heh
[02:13] <thumper> poolie: it is a tricky problem
[02:13] <thumper> poolie: file a new one and I'll think about it
[02:13] <poolie> to decide whether to fix it, or to work out how to fix it?
[02:15] <mac9416> Hey, guys, it finally validated, though I'm not sure why :-)

[02:35] <poolie> thumper: it's bug 382561
[02:35] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 382561 in launchpad-code "code review page breaks copy & paste" [Medium,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/382561
[02:35] <poolie> i think you should bump it up, it's a pretty bad problem for reviewing python code
[02:36] <thumper> poolie: I was going to move the diff rendering to be like loggerheads
[02:36] <poolie> to be ajaxy?
[02:36] <thumper> so no incrementing line numbers
[02:36] <thumper> no
[02:37] <thumper> just how it shows diffs#
[02:37] <poolie> mm
[02:37] <poolie> can you change it to just be a <pre> block with regular spaces?
[02:37] <thumper> bad idea?
[02:37] <poolie> i think that will unbreak copy & paste
[02:37] <poolie> i'll look
[02:37] <thumper> no
[02:37] <thumper> I don't think it will
[02:38] <thumper> poolie: it has spaces
[02:39] <thumper> poolie: if we want to keep line numbers, I have another idea though
[02:39] <thumper> I'll try it out later
[02:40] <poolie> i don't care about line numbers in the diff
[02:40] <poolie> if they were the line numbers in the *file* that would be a bit more interesting but it's still for me very meh compared to getting the indenting right
[02:41] <thumper> poolie: well the indentation is right for the display
[02:41] <thumper> the problems are pasting into the comment
[02:42] <poolie> right
[02:42] <poolie> but that's a pretty common thing to do
[02:43] <thumper> it seems to be a problem with firefox, not what we display
[02:43] <thumper> the spaces are there
[02:43] <thumper> but cutting from firefox does something strange
[02:43] <thumper> I can't fix that :)
[02:44]  * thumper tries Konq
[02:46] <thumper> huh
[02:46] <thumper> well whaddya know
[02:46] <thumper> Konq gets it right
[02:46] <thumper> firefox stuffs it up
[02:49] <poolie> btw i'm really liking the overall code review experience
[02:49] <poolie> i'm glad we started dogfooding
[03:13] <thumper> poolie: nice
[03:13] <thumper> poolie: I do want it slicker though

[11:37] <dreamcat4> Hi. A question about Personal Package Archives (PPA)
[11:37] <dreamcat4> I created one yesterday at https://launchpad.net/~dreamcat4/+archive/ppa
[11:37] <dreamcat4> And all i get is a message saying "This PPA does not contain any packages yet."
[11:38] <bigjools> dreamcat4: what were you expecting?
[11:38] <noodles775> It looks like the help link from there is not so helpful?
[11:39] <noodles775> ie. it doesn't help you upload packages which would be dreamcat4's next steps.
[11:39] <wgrant> I'm sure it used to.
[11:39] <dreamcat4> Well, it says in the documentation that I should wait for a couple of hours for the PPA's  Sugning Key to be generated.
[11:39] <dreamcat4> (Signing Key)
[11:39] <wgrant> https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA/Uploading it is now, a few pages along.
[11:39] <bigjools> There's a link on how to upload packages
[11:39] <dreamcat4> Which will then be displayed on the page.
[11:40] <dreamcat4> That hasn't happened yet. The page could perhaps say "I'm still generating your signing key" of "not ready yet".
[11:40] <wgrant> noodles775: I guess there are probably other upload instructions there that those without launchpad.Edit can't see.
[11:40]  * wgrant forgets.
[11:41]  * bigjools edits the wiki page to include a link to the uploading section
[11:41] <dreamcat4> This is, i DID upload some packages shortly after creating the PPA
[11:41] <dreamcat4> Upload seemed to be successful (no errors reported).
[11:41] <bigjools> dreamcat4: how long ago?
[11:41] <noodles775> wgrant: yep, so did I.
[11:41] <bigjools> dreamcat4: you should get an email confirming it was accepted
[11:41] <dreamcat4> About 16 hours
[11:42] <dreamcat4> No emails recieved
[11:42] <bigjools> ok that means you've either not signed the upload, or signed it with a key that LP doesn't know aboutg
[11:42] <noodles775> bigjools: I just noticed the channel title: "PPA builders getting stuck"
[11:42] <wgrant> noodles775: Can you confirm locally? My good laptop is flat and the power cord is in the office...
[11:42]  * noodles775 checks the template.
[11:42] <dreamcat4> Personally I suspect that because of low entropy on the Virtual Machines, it's still generating the PGP Key.
[11:42] <bigjools> noodles775: yes, it's an apt bug
[11:43] <dreamcat4> But i have no way to check up on that, do I?
[11:43] <bigjools> dreamcat4: yes, it can be slow sometimes, but 16 hours is plenty
[11:43] <bigjools> dreamcat4: it also doesn't generate a key until you upload your first package
[11:43] <dreamcat4> I did sign my upload, with a valid Key
[11:43] <wgrant> dreamcat4: the archive key is separate from upload acceptance, and is not generated in a VM.
[11:43] <bigjools> dreamcat4: well double check that you let LP know about your key and associated it with your LP account
[11:44] <dreamcat4> thanks
[11:44] <bigjools> dreamcat4: LP doesn't email when it doesn't know who the signer is, to prevent spamming the innocent
[11:44] <dreamcat4> Obvously this is the first time I have tried to upload packages
[11:44] <noodles775> wgrant: nope, it's the only link displayed when the PPA isn't active... the wiki must have been updated since then.
[11:44] <bigjools> dreamcat4: great!  let us help you through it
[11:45] <wgrant> noodles775: Ew.
[11:45] <dreamcat4> thank you. I can go back to the Wiki Articles and double check my GPG  key is uploaded
[11:45] <wgrant> noodles775: I guess that's what Archive Index 3.0 is for.
[11:46] <noodles775> Yup :) (although updating the wiki as bigjools did is a good intermediate :) ).
[11:46]  * bigjools just saved the change
[11:51] <dreamcat4> Okay it appears I did upload mym gpg key to the ubuntu servers,
[11:51] <dreamcat4> but I didn't notice the step (in the wiki articles) about having to associate it to my LP account
[11:52] <dreamcat4> so I failed to enter the key into the dreamcat4's profile page
[11:52] <dreamcat4> Thank you bigjools
[11:52] <bigjools> dreamcat4: welcome
[11:53] <dreamcat4> I guess the page i was reading was this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto
[11:54] <dreamcat4> and it's just such a long article.
[11:55] <wgrant> The new archive index should probably replace the upload instruction line with a key addition link if there are no keys.
[11:55] <dreamcat4> yeah that would be great, because there's no rejection email
[11:56] <dreamcat4> i'll excuse myself now, thank you all again.
[12:01] <bigjools> good point, noodles775 can you put that in your PPA design changes please and file a bug about it
[12:02]  * noodles775 creates bug

[13:51] <noodles775> pan1nx: well, it's a development environment, so there's plenty of docs on writing tests, and doing development, but not so much for running it standalone.
[13:52] <pan1nx> I can see that
[13:53] <pan1nx> but there must be a way from the launchpad.net that can be used on this local copy

[19:59] <kfogel> leonardr: so if I want to try writing API-using scripts right now, what's my best course?

[20:01] <leonardr> not a bad idea, but if you just want to write scirpts python-launchpadlib is better
[20:01] <kfogel> leonardr: so my usual philosophy for projects I'm involved with is to run trunk.  If I install python-launchpadlib now, and later you fix trunk, will The Right Thing happen if I then build and install trunk?
[20:01] <kfogel> I.e., it will shadow the packaged version?
[20:02] <leonardr> kfogel: yeah, it should
[20:04] <kfogel> leonardr: ok.  Hmmm.  So I installed python-launchpadlib, but it looks like maybe I'm paying for my habit of installing bzr from trunk?  see https://pastebin.canonical.com/20828/

[21:01] <slayton> is there anyway to setup a ppa to _not_ build lpia builds?
[21:06] <maxb> slayton: Not the PPA, no, but a source package can specify which architectures it is to be built for
[21:06] <slayton> maxb, I'm guessing its possible to specify i386 and amd64 while excluding lpia
[21:11] <maxb> Although, hmm.
[21:12] <maxb> I have a feeling it'll still try to be built on lpia, because of a misfeature of the debian package format ensuring that you need to unpack the source package to tell whether it's supposed to build on a given architecture

[23:20] <mwhudson> jcastro: just request a new import, we don't have a sensible way of converting between different import sources
[23:20] <mwhudson> (it's a hard problem)
[23:25] <jcastro> mwhudson, ok that'll do, thanks for the help.
