[00:17] phillw: Are you in the source code tree? [02:47] hello all how can i get my series to look like the following https://launchpad.net/cinder/+series [02:53] thewrath: There's nothing particularly notable about that -- the project just has several series each with a number of milestones. [02:54] You can achieve the same setup by creating series and milestones. [02:55] wgrant: so do i need several branches? [02:57] thewrath: You'd generally have multiple series because you have multiple branches, not vice-versa. [02:57] What are you trying to achieve by having multiple series? [02:57] multiple versions of the code base [02:57] Series are usually used for managing stable release maintenance branches. [02:57] like v1 v1.1, etc [02:57] ok [02:58] i am just starting to develop a project [02:58] all i have is a branch and i did create a milestone for later use [02:58] If you're just starting, you probably won't be maintaining multiple stable branches for a while. I'd continue with just the default trunk series until you see a need for eg. a 1.0.x stable release series. [02:58] Then you'd create a 1.0 series with a 1.0 branch. [02:59] when i would do that i would must merge trunk to the 1.0 branch? [03:00] You'd branch trunk at the point of the 1.0 release, into a 1.0 maintenance branch. [03:01] https://help.launchpad.net/Projects/SeriesMilestonesReleases [03:02] can i delete the series i have for 1.0 [03:03] You could. [03:03] i just associate the bluepritns to the trunk series for now? [03:03] You don't need to give the blueprints a series target at all unless you want to. [03:04] Series are mostly used by larger, more mature projects that benefit from the project management facilities. [03:04] Most projects don't use series targeting at all, and just stay with the default trunk series. [03:04] how would one do that? delete the series [03:04] ok [03:04] There's a "Delete series" link on the series page. [03:06] wait i got confused i think [03:06] ti appears i have a milestone [03:06] not a series i want to delete [03:06] https://launchpad.net/firecompanystaffing [03:07] Oh, you just have one series, with a v1.0 milestone [03:07] Lots of projects do that. [03:07] They're useful to get an overview of completion. [03:08] So you'd milestone the bugs and blueprints that you need done for the 1.0 release, and that page will list all of them and show you how close 1.0 is. [03:08] but 1.0 is in trunk [03:08] Sure. If you end up with a 1.0 *series* later, you can move the milestone across. [03:09] and taht would be in the milestone properties right [03:10] Right, down the bottom of the milestone's "Change details" page. [03:21] wgrant: any guidance on when to start saying like version .8 or .9 before the a good version 1 [03:21] or how you disguince 1.1 version 1.1.1 [03:21] That's one of the great questions of software engineering :) [03:22] http://semver.org/ is a common scheme for libraries and some applications. [10:55] Launchpad question : is it possible to set up a source build recipe that builds a download file for my project, so that my projects have a download? [12:02] wgrant: ping [12:02] phillw: Hello. [12:03] wgrant: how do i check if I'm in the source code tree? (I'm very new at this!) [12:03] phillw: From where did you obtain the directory in which you ran debuild? [12:04] wgrant: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw/non-pae [12:04] step 3 [12:04] the .debs build fine.. just need the ppa build now :) [12:05] How do the debs build fine? [12:05] What you have there is not a Debian source package [12:06] And what's all this root and /usr/src/linux business? [12:06] I'd suggest starting with a package rather simpler than the kernel. [12:06] wgrant: I'm just following instructions :) [12:06] wgrant: it is only the non-pae kernel that I wish to build (and can). [12:07] You'll want to run through http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/ with a less complex package before you jump into the kenerl. [12:09] 'make deb-pkg' won't get you close to a Debian source package, and you cannot upload .debs to Launchpad directly. [12:09] You'll need to learn how to use and produce Debian source packages, and then probably adapt Ubuntu's linux source package to your needs. [12:09] wgrant: I know that :) that is when I chased down [12:09] debuild -S -sd [12:10] but I need the source :) [12:10] Yes. [12:11] I do not really want to go begging the MOTU again, he says his time is limited; so I'm trying to get as much done myself [12:12] A good start would be to read the packaging guide until you work out how to obtain the source. [12:12] It is but the first and most trivial step along the journey. [12:13] Our time is likewise limited. [12:13] okies, thanks.... I'll continue digging :) Thank you so much for your time.
