[09:50] <GyrosGeier> hi
[09:51] <GyrosGeier> I'm trying to push changes to lp from the git bzr plugin, but it keeps saying that no such branch exists. That is basically correct, I'm trying to create one
[09:52] <GyrosGeier> is there anything special I have to do when I want to create a branch?
[10:19] <phraktle> Hi! I have created a PPA and uploaded a package a few hours ago (using backportpackage), but it's still not showing up... How long is this supposed to take?
[10:19] <phraktle> See https://launchpad.net/~phraktle/+archive/ubuntu/backports
[14:10] <cjwatson> GyrosGeier: Nothing special.  Exactly what command are you using?
[14:11] <GyrosGeier> "git push" -- I'm using the git bzr remote support
[14:11] <GyrosGeier> it worked by using bzr branch followed by bzr push to create the branch, and then pushing from git
[14:12] <GyrosGeier> using git::lp:kicad for pull, and git::lp:~sjr/kicad/master for push
[14:12] <cjwatson> Ah, you got it working eventually?  OK.
[14:12] <GyrosGeier> erm
[14:13] <GyrosGeier> bzr:: instead of git::
[14:13] <GyrosGeier> yes
[14:13] <GyrosGeier> it's slightly suboptimal, but then again I don't submit via LP that often
[14:17] <cjwatson> We'll see if kicad will switch to git once we have it.
[15:48] <GyrosGeier> it is planned
[15:48] <GyrosGeier> almost everyone is using git, and all the related projects are on github
[15:49] <GyrosGeier> the plan, as I've understood it, is to fold everything together at some point
[15:50] <cjwatson> GyrosGeier: LP is weeks away from supporting git, too
[15:50] <cjwatson> (directly)
[15:51] <GyrosGeier> yes, the buttons already appeared for some people, I've heard :)
[15:52] <cjwatson> the backend only exists on qastaging
[15:52] <GyrosGeier> in general, there is no real preference between github and launchpad
[15:52] <cjwatson> but we'll fix that soon
[15:53] <GyrosGeier> both are external services to the project, and there is no real incentive to run a local copy of either so far
[15:53] <GyrosGeier> and there is a largely overlapping set of features we want
[15:54] <GyrosGeier> and neither can replace jenkins, which is bad because that is the first thing we'd like to get rid of
