| dpm | cjwatson, wgrant, do you have a minute for a question about project aliases? I aliased lp:reminders-app to 'notes-app', with then realizing there was an existing lp:notes-app project. Now I don't seem to be able to remove the alias, and when submitting a MP against lp:reminders, LP says that branches are not mergeable (as it seems to try to merge them against lp:notes-app) | 10:08 |
|---|---|---|
| dpm | Is there any way to fix the alias? | 10:08 |
| wgrant | dpm: Hm, I wouldn't expect you to be able to create an alias. What exactly did you do? | 10:10 |
| wgrant | Oh, you're in ~registry, forgot that detail. | 10:10 |
| dpm | wgrant, went to https://launchpad.net/reminders-app/+admin and set an alias to 'notes-app' | 10:10 |
| dpm | as the app is no longer named 'reminders-app' | 10:10 |
| wgrant | dpm: The alias would have failed to set. | 10:10 |
| wgrant | Do you perhaps want to rename the project and leave an alias from the old name? | 10:11 |
| dpm | wgrant, if that helps fixing it, yes, but there is the existing lp:notes-app project | 10:11 |
| wgrant | A project can't have an alias that matches the name of an existing project; LP will refuse to save the form. | 10:11 |
| wgrant | Are they related? | 10:12 |
| wgrant | notes-app also looks to be a phone app. | 10:12 |
| wgrant | Having two phone apps named notes-app sounds like a bad idea. | 10:12 |
| dpm | no, they're not related. The old one is abandoned | 10:12 |
| wgrant | If you can convince the maintainer of the old one to consent to renaming or deleting it, we can then rename reminders-app in its place. | 10:13 |
| dpm | wgrant, do you suggest renaming the two? | 10:13 |
| dpm | wgrant, ok. Is there anything we can do now to fix the alias in the meantime? | 10:13 |
| wgrant | dpm: The alias doesn't exist, so there's nothing to fix. | 10:13 |
| dpm | wgrant, but I still can't propose merges | 10:15 |
| wgrant | dpm: If you pushed a branch to notes-app then it's in a totally unrelated project. You'll need to move the branch to reminders-app. | 10:15 |
| wgrant | notes-app and reminders-app are presently unrelated. | 10:16 |
| wgrant | So it doesn't make sense to merge between them. | 10:16 |
| wgrant | (this is true even if we rename notes-app away; the branch will still be in that project) | 10:16 |
| dpm | wgrant, hm, I don't think we can easily rename the original lp:notes-app project. Even if it's no longer active, there are packages for Ubuntu. In any case, I still have the issue I cannot do MP against lp:reminders. It seems it's trying to do the merge against lp:notes-app | 10:38 |
| dpm | I think I broke something when I initially tried to set the alias, but I'm not sure what it is | 10:40 |
| wgrant | dpm: You need to move (or repush) the branch to the right project. | 10:40 |
| wgrant | There is no alias, you just pushed to the wrong project. | 10:40 |
| wgrant | lp:~dpm/notes-app/foo is in the notes-app project, so you can't merge it into the reminders-app project. | 10:40 |
| dpm | wgrant, I don't think so, I pushed against the right project: https://code.launchpad.net/~dpm/reminders-app/fix-deb-build | 10:41 |
| wgrant | dpm: That defaults to proposing into lp:reminders-app for me. | 10:42 |
| wgrant | Oh | 10:43 |
| wgrant | lp:reminders-app is in the notes-app project. | 10:43 |
| wgrant | dpm: Did you also reconfigure the project's default branch? | 10:43 |
| wgrant | Or move a branch around? | 10:43 |
| dpm | wgrant, http://i.imgur.com/HeJQ8gn.png | 10:43 |
| wgrant | dpm: If you look at the code of https://code.launchpad.net/~notes-app-dev/notes-app/trunk, is that notes-app or reminders-app? | 10:44 |
| wgrant | It's in the notes-app project, but is set as the default branch for reminders-app. | 10:44 |
| wgrant | Which doesn't make sense. | 10:44 |
| dpm | wgrant, hm, I'm confused now. That url points to the reminders app code | 10:44 |
| wgrant | It looks like someone might have moved the branch to the notes-app project in an attempt to rename it. | 10:45 |
| wgrant | Manually. | 10:45 |
| wgrant | What about the notes-app-dev team? Which one is that? | 10:45 |
| dpm | That could only have been me, but I didn't move branches around. I tried aliases only IIRC | 10:46 |
| dpm | let me check the dev team. I only tried to change the project, not the team | 10:46 |
| wgrant | So, I think you want to move that trunk branch back to reminders-app, and then probably rename the team if that team is actually for reminders-app. | 10:46 |
| wgrant | LP should forbid that branch from being trunk for a different project, but there's no general project alias bug here. | 10:47 |
| wgrant | The alias doesn't exist, the branch is just linked in a super-weird way. | 10:47 |
| dpm | Re: the team, I think there is only https://code.launchpad.net/~notes-app-dev (it used to be reminders-app-dev, but I'm guessing either I or someone else changed it a while ago, but not today) | 10:47 |
| wgrant | Alright. | 10:48 |
| wgrant | So I think it's probably an idea to rename it back to avoid this confusion. | 10:48 |
| dpm | the notes-app team is phablet-team | 10:48 |
| wgrant | Once you're settled on what the project's new name should be, we can rename the team and project together. | 10:48 |
| wgrant | And the branch definitely needs to be moved back to the reminders-app project. | 10:48 |
| dpm | wgrant, ideally the new project name for lp:reminders-app should be lp:notes-app, but as there is the existing lp:notes-app one and I'd rather not generate too much work for everyone, then I think I'd leave it at lp:reminders | 10:50 |
| wgrant | dpm: lp:reminders or lp:reminders-app? | 10:50 |
| wgrant | It's currently lp:reminders-app.. | 10:50 |
| dpm | argh, sorry, lp:reminders-app | 10:50 |
| wgrant | dpm: So, on https://code.launchpad.net/~notes-app-dev/notes-app/trunk/+edit change the target from notes-app to reminders-app | 10:51 |
| wgrant | Then on https://launchpad.net/~notes-app-dev/+edit change it from notes-app-dev to reminders-app-dev | 10:51 |
| wgrant | And I think that's all the weirdness I know about. | 10:51 |
| dpm | I think the second step might not be needed, as the team name's seems to be the correct one and doesn't clash with any other one | 10:52 |
| dpm | let me see if that fixed the MP weirdness | 10:52 |
| wgrant | But ~notes-app-dev is for reminders-app, not notes-app | 10:52 |
| wgrant | It doesn't conflict with an existing team, but it's awfully confusing. | 10:53 |
| dpm | right, it's the team for the correct branch, but the naming is confusing. I'd rather have a chat with the team before changing that again | 10:55 |
| dpm | in any case, the MPs work again, thanks! | 10:55 |
