[09:15] 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? [09:33] 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] The email notification will have whoever performed the action in From. [09:34] it looks like someone manually pushed the link [09:35] but _why_ would one want to unlink? [09:35] They may have linked them by mistake, for example. [09:49] That does not seem to be the case. But what is the purpose of the link? wgrant [09:59] 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] Launchpad will automatically create the links when a bzr commit has been created with '--fixes=lp:1234', where 1234 is the bug number. [10:01] so there is absolutely no reason for people to remove the links wen the branch unlinked is the branch the bug is about [10:02] 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. [10:06] well, the guy did it on 30 bugs that I was subscribed to. [10:06] He do not have commit acces to the project. [10:06] Sounds like a deleted branch to me. [10:07] Does the branch given in the message still exist? === benonsoftware is now known as Guest33721
