| [07:03] <cygus> hi | |
| [07:03] <cygus> I have small question. | |
| [07:04] <cygus> I'm looking to good ppa for have ubuntu lts up to date. | |
| [07:05] <cygus> Please tell me whether launchpad is testing the pkg before it is published for users? | |
| [07:07] <cygus> I mean testing for malware, backdoor and viruses. | |
| [07:12] <mapreri> cygus: there is no testing whatsoever from launchpad. it's just a hosting facility. | |
| [07:15] <cygus> ok, thx but launchpad is building deb pkg from deb-src uploaded by autor? | |
| [07:17] <mapreri> yes | |
| [07:17] <cygus> thx a lot | |
| [07:17] <mapreri> everybody can upload a source package to a PPA, launchpad builds and publish it. | |
| [07:18] <cygus> ok | |
| [07:19] <cygus> is possible to protect ourself against bad pkg? | |
| [07:21] <mapreri> cygus: choosing the PPA to use wisely would be good, e.g. don't use random PPAs if you don't trust them | |
| [07:21] <cygus> thx | |
| [11:29] <mapreri> maybe i'm missing something: but is it possible to use pad.lv to link MR? | |
| [11:43] <cjwatson> mapreri: http://pad.lv/ doesn't suggest so | |
| [11:43] <cjwatson> (we don't operate it) | |
| [11:44] <mapreri> indeed, and i'm surprised | |
| [11:44] <mapreri> cjwatson: is there a short launchpad url like https://launchpad.net/bugs/#### for bugs? | |
| [11:45] <cjwatson> That's the shortest form of it on launchpad.net itself | |
| [11:46] <mapreri> erm, i meant, like lp.net/bugs/### works for bugs, is there something similar for MR? | |
| [11:46] <mapreri> (sorry for being unclear) | |
| [11:46] <cjwatson> Ah, no | |
| [11:46] <mapreri> sad | |
| [11:47] <mapreri> then i'll stick with that long MR url :) | |
| [11:49] <cjwatson> mapreri: It might be worth a bug report. It wouldn't be technically difficult to arrange, I think. | |
| [11:50] <cjwatson> The IDs are already exposed in the URLs, so making /+merge/ID work wouldn't hurt anything. | |
| [11:51] <cjwatson> (That's probably why pad.lv doesn't have a short form, since it doesn't have a way to look up MPs by ID right now.) | |
| [11:52] <mapreri> guess it could use the API to figure it out? | |
| [11:52] * mapreri writes a bug up | |
| [11:52] <cjwatson> mapreri: No, because that's not exposed on the API either. | |
| [11:52] <cjwatson> No branch_merge_proposals collection or whatever. | |
| [11:52] <mapreri> ah, fun | |
| [11:53] <cjwatson> mapreri: If you have a specific use case beyond "it would be nice if ...", do mention that in the report. | |
| [11:54] <mapreri> i don't | |
| [11:54] <mapreri> i'm just writing that url down in a file and i'm bother i have to go to newline :) | |
| [11:55] <cjwatson> Heh | |
| [11:55] <mapreri> cjwatson: do you also want a bug "please expose MR IDs in the API" or something? | |
| [11:56] <cjwatson> If we were doing this I'd be inclined to do both at the same time, so it's probably fine to have those in the same report | |
| [11:56] <mapreri> fine | |
| [11:56] <cjwatson> Internally it's getUtility(IBranchMergeProposalGetter).get(id), should you wish to send a patch :-) | |
| [11:56] <mapreri> -enotime :P | |
| [11:58] <cjwatson> Worth a shot | |
| [11:58] <mapreri> eheh | |
| [12:02] * mapreri is happy to leave you complete/rewrite the report :) (=I'm really bad at pointing out technical stuff about software I don't know about) | |
| [12:03] <mapreri> "If you want to you can help fix the bug you are reporting." reads like "Please fix the bug you are reporting." to me :D | |
| [12:04] <StevenK> mapreri: The best kind of bug reports are the ones that include a patch ... | |
| [12:47] <teward> can someone go and delete this comment made on a bug? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nginx/+bug/1483923/comments/2 looks like a nonconstructive post. | |
| [12:47] <ubot5> Ubuntu bug 1483923 in nginx (Ubuntu) "dpkg-divert breaks nginx installation" [Undecided,New] | |
| [12:47] <teward> (specifically comment #2) | |
| [14:56] <amerle> Hello I have a question regarding ethics. | |
| [14:57] <amerle> I would like to contribute to one package which is in someone's ppa. | |
| [14:57] <amerle> The code is located in his personal branches area (+junk) so there is no Launchpad project and I cannot propose my new commits. | |
| [14:57] <amerle> That package did not have any active development in the past 3 years and I have tried to contact the original author but without success so far. | |
| [14:57] <amerle> My question is: | |
| [14:57] <amerle> Can I simply use his code to create a new project on Launchpad? | |
| [14:58] <amerle> (In the source folder there is the GPL v2 statement) | |
| [15:23] <teward> any lpadmin around to nuke a nonconstructive bug comment? | |
| [16:19] <dobey> teward: hidden | |
| [16:21] <dobey> amerle: you cannot change the license to something other than what is permitted by the current license, but you can "fork" the code and create a real project, sure. | |
| [16:21] <dobey> amerle: if you wish to maintain said project anyway. :) | |
| [16:22] <amerle> ok, good to know | |
| [16:22] <amerle> thanks for the answer | |
