| mdeslaur | do launchpad translations support git? can I redirect a "series" to a git tree? | 17:46 |
|---|---|---|
| cjwatson | no, that's one of the known gaps in git support | 17:54 |
| mdeslaur | ah, darn :( | 17:57 |
| mdeslaur | thanks cjwatson :) | 17:57 |
| Mc | Hi ! I'm trying to setup a new project for a submodule of a project, and to setup a git import of an external repo (from gitlab : "https://gitlab.com/inkscape/libcroco.git"). When trying to use "Link or import an existing repository" i have the choice between "Link to a Git repository already on Launchpad" and "Import a Git repository hosted somewhere else" but I can't select the latter because | 20:45 |
| Mc | it would appear that a random person already setup a mirror of this external repo (while I (inkscape) aim to be the canonical source of that repo) and I get "This foreign branch URL is already specified for the imported repository ~reviczky/inkscape/+git/libcroco." I have no idea who this is, but I would be ok for now to have the former option work, but the help message reads "The Git repository | 20:45 |
| Mc | for this project in Launchpad, if one exists, in the form: ~user/project-name/+git/repo-name" and putting, well, "~reviczky/inkscape/+git/libcroco" exactly as suggested by the error given by the latter option does not work ("invalid value") which seem to be a bug (?) - for the moment I'll tell the main inkscape stable ppa to use that unknown person's clone of our repo as the source of truth for | 20:45 |
| Mc | this submodule but that seems dangerous in term of security if they ever change the source of their project code, but how can I proceed from here ? | 20:45 |
| Mc | (it feels a bit arbitrary that two projects cannot pull from the same external source) | 20:51 |
| cjwatson | We should possibly lift that restriction in this case. It makes some sense for imports that do a non-trivial amount of work; less so for straight mirrors. | 23:32 |
