| nickoe | Hello | 15:19 |
| nickoe | why is it that the ubuntu one login on staging launchpad.net requires two factor auth? I don't think I have that setup. So I can't login to the staging instance. | 15:20 |
| cjwatson | nickoe: I think you must be in some relevant team. What's your username? | 15:21 |
| nickoe | cjwatson: nickoe | 15:22 |
| nickoe | I just wanted to test if it was possible to use milestones for a git project. | 15:23 |
| cjwatson | staging doesn't have git anyway | 15:24 |
| cjwatson | you could use qastaging.launchpad.net, which has git and uses production SSO | 15:24 |
| cjwatson | (although is running off a somewhat old DB dump) | 15:25 |
| nickoe | why does it not have git? | 15:25 |
| nickoe | according to the help page about the staging server it says that it is only about a week after | 15:27 |
| cjwatson | basically just we haven't set it up. we did all the development on qastaging | 15:27 |
| cjwatson | right, but that doesn't necessarily mean all services exist there | 15:27 |
| cjwatson | I'd like to do it but haven't had time | 15:27 |
| cjwatson | I can possibly answer your question anyway; milestones basically don't interact with code hosting (either bzr or git) in any way | 15:28 |
| cjwatson | so you can use them, they just don't have any connection to git | 15:29 |
| dobey | and presumably you can link a series to a branch in git | 15:29 |
| nickoe | cjwatson: basically it was because of | 15:29 |
| nickoe | https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg31469.html | 15:30 |
| cjwatson | dobey: no | 15:30 |
| dobey | so that only works with bzr? | 15:30 |
| cjwatson | yes. git branches are much more lightweight | 15:30 |
| cjwatson | nickoe: that email stems from the false premise that you could do that with bzr | 15:30 |
| cjwatson | nickoe: perhaps somebody is confusing milestones and series | 15:30 |
| dobey | yes i think that means series | 15:31 |
| nickoe | yes, indeed. So I wanted to see if I could do it. I am.not admin.for the kicad project. | 15:31 |
| cjwatson | nickoe: while you can't link a series to a git branch in a strong way, you can easily just advertise a branch as being the main development branch for a particular series. linking it to the series in a strong LP project management kind of way doesn't buy all that much. | 15:31 |
| cjwatson | nickoe: we don't implement it because git branches are more lightweight and don't have the same kind of database presence - for example it would be pretty cumbersome to prevent deletion of a branch that was linked to a series. | 15:32 |
| nickoe | I don't need that either. I just need to be able to indicate bugs for some milestone clearly, hopefully better than using tags. | 15:33 |
| cjwatson | nickoe: and you can do that without needing to have a branch linked to the milestone | 15:33 |
| cjwatson | or series for that matter | 15:33 |
| cjwatson | I think git is really a red herring when it comes to wanting to track bugs in a milestone or series | 15:33 |
| nickoe | ehh, why? what do you mean? | 15:34 |
| cjwatson | what difference would it make to bug tracking to have a git branch linked to the series? or even a bzr branch? | 15:34 |
| nickoe | I don't need that | 15:35 |
| cjwatson | then you do not have a problem here | 15:35 |
| nickoe | I just wanted to use the milestone property for a bug | 15:35 |
| cjwatson | right, and that has nothing to do with bzr or git | 15:35 |
| cjwatson | you can just do it (if you have sufficient privileges on the project, at least) | 15:36 |
| dobey | well, it's useful outside of launchpad proper (ie, tarmac can update bug status when a branch lands in a bzr target branch that's linked to a series) | 15:36 |
| cjwatson | this Wayne person is confused | 15:36 |
| nickoe | I understand. | 15:36 |
| nickoe | y | 15:36 |
| cjwatson | dobey: bug status, but not bug task status | 15:36 |
| cjwatson | err | 15:36 |
| dobey | but for git, that link could be mad outside launchpad i suppose | 15:36 |
| cjwatson | sorry, yes, in the tarmac case I suppose so | 15:36 |
| nickoe | i don't have the priv. for that on the project, since I can not see any link to create a milestpne | 15:36 |
| cjwatson | nickoe: right, so just need to go back to the kicad maintainers and point out that they can perfectly well use milestones regardless of whether git is in use | 15:37 |
| dobey | ie, one could make a policy where branch name and series name must match, and write a tool based on that | 15:37 |
| cjwatson | right | 15:39 |
| cjwatson | nickoe: feel free to point them our way if they still have problems | 15:39 |
| nickoe | cjwatson: thank you. I must go now. :) | 15:40 |
| cjwatson | I've got a colleague fixing the two-factor stuff | 15:41 |
| cjwatson | thanks for pointing that out | 15:41 |
