| mikee3000 | Hi guys, I wanted to report some bug in ubuntu 19.04 but launchpad errors out when I try to login - is there a way to report this please? | 09:34 |

| cjwatson | brlin: Used to, but there wasn't enough demand to justify the cost of maintaining it. https://blog.launchpad.net/notifications/mercurial-imports-will-end-on-october-5th | 16:27 |
| cjwatson | (also it wasn't all that reliable) | 16:27 |
| brlin | cjwatson: That's unfortunate, but thanks for the info. | 16:28 |
| faux__ | Hey | 17:24 |
| faux__ | I wanted to know how to retrieve code from the launchpad api | 17:25 |
| faux__ | Code of a particular repository stored on launchpad | 17:25 |
| cjwatson | The webservice API doesn't have methods for code retrieval itself, but branches and repositories have attributes with URLs that you can pass to a bzr or git client | 17:28 |
| faux__ | Can you please elaborate | 17:30 |
| cjwatson | It's a bit of a general question so I gave a general answer | 17:30 |
| cjwatson | If you can be more specific about exactly what you're trying to do then that would help | 17:31 |
| cjwatson | (though I'm about to go for dinner) | 17:31 |
| faux__ | Take for example GitHub's API you can list repos after a particular date so is there a similar functionality for listing out the repos stored along with their code? | 17:32 |
| faux__ | Since a particular date* | 17:32 |
| cjwatson | It's conceivable that we might be persuaded to add something like that in future given a good use case, but there is no such functionality today. You can list all repositories for a given target (e.g. a project) | 17:33 |
| cjwatson | https://launchpad.net/+apidoc/devel.html#git_repositories has various methods along those lines | 17:33 |
| * cjwatson -> dinner | 17:33 | |
| faux__ | Thanks a lot | 17:34 |
| cjwatson | A single repository object on the API has a git_https_url attribute that you can use to clone it (or git_ssh_url if you're logged in) | 17:35 |
| faux__ | Ohkay but is there functionality that just lists out all the repos stored... Just list..... so then I can run a loop and get their code? | 17:38 |
| faux__ | Also If I would like to implement the functionality as the GitHub API how should I proceed? | 17:42 |
| cjwatson | We don't currently have that, and the first step would be some kind of justification for it, since it would be very easy for that to consume a lot of our resources. | 17:54 |
| cjwatson | Unlike GitHub, Launchpad has meaningful scopes beyond just ownership (projects and distribution packages), so there's usually less real need for site-wide searches | 17:56 |
| faux__ | Ohkay and is it necessary for a package to have a GitHub url or launchpad can manage it independently? | 17:59 |
| cjwatson | Launchpad has its own Git hosting. Repositories can be imported from elsewhere (including GitHub), but that certainly isn't required. | 18:01 |
| faux__ | Ohkay thanks a lot | 18:01 |
