[20:26] <harishnavnit> hi
[20:27] <harishnavnit> what is the proper way of running the utilities/link-external-sourcecode ?
[20:28] <harishnavnit> I get an error stating that "Parent branch not specified and could not be discovered " , when i try running the utilities/link-external-soureceode
[21:02] <cjwatson> harishnavnit: link-external-sourcecode is for when you've made a branch of a properly-set-up devel checkout, which doesn't sound like your case.
[21:03] <cjwatson> harishnavnit: It doesn't sound like you used rocketfuel-setup (which you should run inside a container, see https://dev.launchpad.net/Running/LXC
[21:03] <cjwatson> )
[21:04] <cjwatson> Given that you've got the branch already, you should be able to run utilities/rocketfuel-setup (INSIDE A CONTAINER as it will do interesting things to your system)
[21:05] <cjwatson> If you've run that already and it just went wrong somehow, do this instead:
[21:05] <cjwatson> bzr branch lp:~launchpad/lp-source-dependencies/trunk/ download-cache
[21:05] <cjwatson> utilities/update-sourcecode
[21:05] <harishnavnit> i'm prompted to run /utilities/link-external-sourcecode when i run make schema
[21:05] <cjwatson> ... actually ignore that, just use rocketfuel-setup :)
[21:06] <cjwatson> Yes I know you are but that's assuming that you have a properly set up parent branch, which you don't
[21:06] <cjwatson> Did you just fetch the code with bzr branch lp:launchpad or similar?
[21:06] <harishnavnit> yes , i used bzr
[21:06] <harishnavnit> how do u set up the parent branch ?
[21:06] <cjwatson> Right, so set up a container and run utilities/rocketfuel-setup inside it.
[21:07] <cjwatson> Then when you make YOUR OWN BRANCHES from this branch you'll be able to use link-external-sourcecode in those.
[21:07] <cjwatson> But that doesn't apply to the first one.
[21:07] <harishnavnit> uhm , what do u mean by set up a container ?
[21:07] <cjwatson> I gave you a link above.
[21:07] <cjwatson> https://dev.launchpad.net/Running/LXC
[21:08] <harishnavnit> thanks , will go through it
[21:09] <cjwatson> You'll need to do that anyway otherwise things like running tests will be a pain later.
[21:09] <cjwatson> So you might as well do it now.
[21:10] <harishnavnit> yeah
[21:12] <harishnavnit> well i;m currently running updates , so sudo apt-get install lxc wont work right now
[21:12] <harishnavnit> unable to unlock the administration directory
[21:12] <cjwatson> Sure, just wait until you're finished with that.
[21:13] <harishnavnit> it's a long wait :(
