| nickoe | Hello. I am working on a project on lp, and today a see a lot of bugs where it says "Branch unlinked ...". I don't immediately like that. What exactly does it mean? Is it a problem? What is the purpose? | 09:15 |
|---|---|---|
| wgrant | nickoe: Which bugs? That just means that someone's either deleted the branch in question or manually clicked the button in the UI to unlink the branch. | 09:33 |
| wgrant | The email notification will have whoever performed the action in From. | 09:33 |
| nickoe | it looks like someone manually pushed the link | 09:34 |
| nickoe | but _why_ would one want to unlink? | 09:35 |
| wgrant | They may have linked them by mistake, for example. | 09:35 |
| nickoe | That does not seem to be the case. But what is the purpose of the link? wgrant | 09:49 |
| wgrant | nickoe: Launchpad doesn't use them internally for anything special, just to show users which bugs are related to a branch and vice-versa. Some external tools might use them, though (eg. a merge robot could automatically include bug numbers in the commit message when merging a bugfix branch into trunk). | 09:59 |
| wgrant | Launchpad will automatically create the links when a bzr commit has been created with '--fixes=lp:1234', where 1234 is the bug number. | 09:59 |
| nickoe | so there is absolutely no reason for people to remove the links wen the branch unlinked is the branch the bug is about | 10:01 |
| wgrant | You'd have to ask the person who did it, but that seems unusual. The most likely possibility is that they deleted the whole branch. | 10:02 |
| nickoe | well, the guy did it on 30 bugs that I was subscribed to. | 10:06 |
| nickoe | He do not have commit acces to the project. | 10:06 |
| wgrant | Sounds like a deleted branch to me. | 10:06 |
| wgrant | Does the branch given in the message still exist? | 10:07 |
