[00:00] <fagan> anything else?
[00:03] <fagan> mneptok: any ideas?
[00:07] <wgrant> Damn. Just missed him.
[00:07] <wgrant> He's merging the wrong way.
[01:27] <arand> So to report spam you just create a question entry in LP?
[01:30] <wgrant> arand: That works.
[01:32] <arand> Hmm, seems like it isn't highly relevant at the moment but I think at some point there might be a need for a "report spam comment"-button or similar...
[01:34] <arand> reported to https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/95497 if anyone is interested.
[14:38] <lfaraone> Hey, is it possible/allowed to ursurp the name of an inactive project? ( https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/95517 )
[14:49] <ripps> Has launchpad implemented download counters for ppa's yet? It would be useful to know how many hardy users are using my ppa, so I can consider removing hardy packages from it or not.
[18:02] <slytherin> Need some help. I have set translation syncronisation settings
[18:03] <slytherin> for my project to both template as well as po files. But somehow .po file is stuck in review.
[18:17] <slytherin> Can anyone help?
[20:33] <popey> if any launchpad nerds are about... https://edge.launchpad.net/+search?field.text=Sayak+Banerjee
[20:33] <popey> then click on any of the top pages (hits)..
[20:34] <popey> https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~sayakb for example gives a "Lost something?" page
[20:35] <elmo> popey: his accounts been deactivated?
[20:35] <elmo> popey: https://edge.launchpad.net/~sayakb-deactivatedaccount
[20:35] <popey> thanks elmo
[20:36] <popey> others have shown up as -deactivated, that one didnt for some reason
[20:36] <elmo> there's a homepage (which isn't showing up) saying he's retired from all OSS projects "due to personal reasons"
[20:36] <elmo> FWIW
[20:37] <popey> ah ok
[20:37] <popey> ta
[20:37]  * popey is cleaning out planet.ubuntu.com config.ini
[20:37] <popey> don't think anyone has ever done this
[20:37] <elmo> popey: speaking of that; it is in bzr, any reason to keep them in there but commented out?  if someone wants to resurrect one you cull, it's in bzr history
[20:37] <popey> 3 hours of my life I'll never have again
[20:37] <popey> fair point
[20:38] <popey> i plan to tidy the ini up in a bit, once I have done this clear out
[20:38] <popey> will get rid of the #'ed ones at that point
[20:38] <elmo> cool, ta  (sorry for my OCD)
[20:39] <popey> :)
[20:54] <RainCT> Hi
[20:55] <RainCT> Is there some website which takes a branch name in the form lp:something as an argument and redirects to whatever http page that matches?
[20:55] <RainCT> ie. something like xmlrpclib.ServerProxy('https://xmlrpc.launchpad.net/bazaar/', transport=transport).resolve_lp_path(url) but which can be used directly in the browser, over http(s)
[21:01] <maxb> to the branch? Or to the Launchpad webpage for the branch?
[21:01] <RainCT> maxb: to the launchpad page for the branch
[21:02] <maxb> code.lp.net/+branch/something
[21:02] <RainCT> Awesome! Thanks maxb :)
[22:06] <Zelut> something up with LP? my bzr pushes are taking a *long* time, if successful at all.
[22:46] <geser> wgrant: do you know how hard it would be to use the debian build log style for our build logs?
[22:47] <wgrant> geser: What do you mean?
[22:48] <wgrant> The one with pretty boxes and stuff produced by the new sbuild, or something else?
[22:50] <geser> exactly that, so it easier to see where each "step" (updating the chroot, installing build depends, the actual building, the clean up) start
[22:53] <wgrant> geser: That requires a new sbuild.
[22:53] <wgrant> LP's sbuild is a five year old fork.
[22:53] <wgrant> I want to fix that, but it's difficult.
[22:54] <geser> oh :(
[22:55] <wgrant> (we carry a few horrific patches against it, some of which are obsolete, and some of which I don't yet know exist)
[23:04] <sladen> could somebody please convert  https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/95599  back into a bug report please
[23:05] <wgrant> sladen: A better solution is to ask a question to get an alias added.
[23:06] <wgrant> Any other solution is very difficult and probably wrong.
[23:06] <sladen> wgrant: *blink*
[23:07] <wgrant> sladen: The solution is to get 'ubunet' aliased to 'ubuntuone-servers', which an admin can do in a second.
[23:08] <sladen> wgrant: I fixed the _bug_ because a generic solution is needed (be that code, or workflow)---kludged workaround work for one instance and merely perpetuate a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place
[23:08] <sladen> s/fixed/filed/
[23:08] <wgrant> It's not a kludged workaround.
[23:09] <sladen> wgrant: something that required repeated, extranous manual effort is a not a workaround?
[23:09] <wgrant> sladen: It requires little more effort than a normal project rename, and a rename often involves addition of an alias anyway.
[23:09] <wgrant> But maybe sinzui has some more insight?
[23:10] <sladen> wgrant: if the solution is to add a tick box (selected by default of course) to the LP admin renaming interface ("add redirect for old project name") then that's a solution---it's a change of workflow where something happens automatically
[23:12] <james_w> anyone seeing bzr pulls hanging currently?
[23:13] <wgrant> james_w: There was a report of that an hour or so ago, so probably...
[23:13] <sladen> if it's _really_ desired to convert this into a request for a one-off kludge adding to one instance of Launchpad for one project within that instance, then I can refile the _core_ issue (a generic fix needed) again...
[23:14] <james_w> anyone around who can look in to it?
[23:18] <wgrant> sladen: It's well known that if URLs need to not break, an alias should be added. I don't think there's much value in adding a special case.
[23:18] <wgrant> But perhaps it is a valid request that such a checkbox should be added.
[23:19] <sladen> wgrant: bingo.  And on that basis, please convert it back to the bug report that it was
[23:19] <wgrant> sladen: Click on the bug, "Convert back to a bug"
[23:20] <wgrant> sladen: Then retitle it, and retarget it to launchpad-registry.
[23:20] <elmo> james_w: http or ssh?
[23:20] <james_w> ssh
[23:20] <james_w> it's connecting
[23:20] <james_w> hanging in read() on the bzr process
[23:21] <elmo> try now
[23:21] <elmo> or retry now
[23:21] <james_w> bingo
[23:21] <james_w> thanks
[23:22] <sladen> wgrant: I'm not a member of "Canonical Launchpad Engineering", hence coming here to request that somebody who _is_ convert it...
[23:22] <sladen> wgrant: if I should be, I can file a bug about that too
[23:22] <wgrant> sladen: I'm not either. But why do you need to be?
[23:25] <sladen> wgrant: wget -q https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/95599 -O- | grep -qci convert || echo EPERM
[23:26] <wgrant> sladen: On the bug page.
[23:29] <sladen> wgrant: ta, kthxbye
[23:35] <james_w> elmo: sorry, but it's at it again
