[08:08] <LocutusOfBorg> hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I found something interesting.
[08:08] <LocutusOfBorg> If I push here: git+ssh://costamagnagianfranco@git.launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+git/autopkgtest-package-configs I can't create merge requests
[08:08] <LocutusOfBorg> while I can if I push here: git+ssh://costamagnagianfranco@git.launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/autopkgtest-cloud/+git/autopkgtest-package-configs 
[08:08]  * LocutusOfBorg is really missing the "fork this repo" and "open a merge request" buttons :D
[08:23] <pelpsi> LocutusOfBorg: Hi! I'm investigating :)
[08:24] <LocutusOfBorg> pelpsi, thanks :D
[08:24] <LocutusOfBorg> I lost half an hour trying to do something useful, to later discover that I was doing it right, just on a "wrong" repo
[08:25] <LocutusOfBorg> oh if it helps, it works the other way around, from ubuntu-release to my repo (of course it's an empty merge request created)
[08:31] <pelpsi> I know that feels ahah it happens :) Btw, I can't see the following repo : https://code.launchpad.net/~costamagnagianfranco/+git/autopkgtest-package-configs
[08:39] <cjwatson> LocutusOfBorg: In general, you can only make merge proposals within the same namespace (the same project or package).
[08:40] <cjwatson> LocutusOfBorg: So for the personal namespace (/~OWNER/+git/NAME - no project or package), you can only make merge proposals between branches in that same repository.
[08:41] <cjwatson> LocutusOfBorg: https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Git does mention this, albeit briefly - "propose merges from one branch to another, including in a different repository, provided that they are against the same project or package"
[09:06] <LocutusOfBorg> oh... ok
[14:32] <yvs> Hello, a question about 'configure git code on launchpad site'. Can you give me hints howto refer to github repository on 'Configure code' page.
[14:32] <yvs> Putting https://github... in "Import a Git repository hosted somewhere else / Git repository URL" shows "There are 2 errors." with no reference where they are
[14:37] <pelpsi> yvs: Hi! Did you tried this ? https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Git
[14:39] <yvs> I suppose I went a bit wrong direction not reading enough about launchpad infrastructure, the goal was to create ppa deb repo with deb built from git github
[14:44] <pelpsi> yvs no problems at all! We're here to help you, did you found something useful in the linked guide ?  
[14:51] <yvs> unfortunately, no. I've passed many pages reading on launchpad and haven't found howto create PPA with .deb from github source. Local debs are built from sources and built script is on github together with sources, but no idea howto refer to all that on launchapd
[15:05] <pelpsi> To create a PPA and upload to it:
[15:05] <pelpsi> You need an account on Launchpad. You need to have your GPG public key associated with that account.
[15:05] <pelpsi> Create a PPA on Launchpad under your account (or a team, if appropriate).
[15:05] <pelpsi> Locally (on your computer) build a signed, source build of the package, e.g. debuild -S -sa
[15:05] <pelpsi> Upload to the PPA: dput ppa:your_username/your_ppa_name
[15:05] <pelpsi> Repeat steps 3 and 4 as new versions of the software come out or when you need to modify the packaging.
[15:08] <pelpsi> I also saw that you imported your code successfully :) 
[15:21] <yvs> Thanks, it's a bit complicated for me to get into this infrastructure, now it's scheduled to build - don't know how it'll be built just from std autotools files. lets see..
[15:21] <yvs> Anyway, thanks for hinting
[16:10] <pelpsi> yvs don't worry, we are here if you need help/support
