[04:49] <rbasak> nacc: yeah, I think cjwatson has a point, and the way you suggest makes sense. Perhaps it should be part of the phasing script - operate in either import mode or change alias mode? Though perhaps that'll be painful because in import mode you're focused on new publications and are already filtering on that?
[10:17] <cybrNaut> i'm familiar with github, where if I want to make a small change to someones project I fork it, do a "git clone", make the change, git commit, git push, then make a pull request.  This is my first encounter with launchpad, and I don't see a fork button.  Is "import a branch" what I need?  Is it the same process as github?
[10:19] <cybrNaut> i don't know what Bazaar is, but judging from https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Git i have a choice between Bazaar and git, correct?
[10:20] <rbasak> The process is roughly the same.
[10:20] <rbasak> You clone, push, and then make a pull request.
[10:20] <rbasak> However there is no explicit "fork" action. You just push to your own space and Launchpad knows that it's a fork.
[10:20] <rbasak> "pull request" -> "merge proposal"
[10:20] <cybrNaut> sounds reasonable
[10:31] <cybrNaut> fatal: repository 'https://code.launchpad.net/~duplicity-team/duplicity/+git/' not found
[10:31] <cybrNaut> fatal: repository 'https://code.launchpad.net/duplicity/' not found
[10:31] <cybrNaut> the help page says a default repository will be used, but it's not finding one
[10:32] <cybrNaut> those errors are from a "git clone.." cmd
[10:33] <rbasak> Looks like they use bzr, not git.
[10:35] <cybrNaut> oh shit, i didn't know they weren't interoperable.  So if I want to contribute to duplicity, i have to install and study some Bazaar tool?
[10:36] <rbasak> If duplicity uses bzr, then that's the primary answer, yes. There are some tools (like git-remote-bzr?) that try to bridge the gap. Which VCS to use is a per-repository choice on Launchpad.
[12:02] <bdrung_work> Hi, is there a way to convert https://launchpad.net/~linux-rdma into a Lanuchpad group?
[12:05] <cjwatson> bdrung_work: since it's just an autocreated person, we could rename it out of the way if you need to create a team?
[12:05] <cjwatson> bdrung_work: please file a ticket on https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+addquestion if so
[12:07] <bdrung_work> cjwatson, thanks. i created https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/660443
[21:20] <nacc> cjwatson: when you get a moment, if you could read my comments in LP: #1730734, I believe it shows a potential problem with the importer changes we recently did. Maybe not serious, but just want to get your opinion
