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