Lacoste" <francis.laco...@canonical.com> To: ensem...@lists.ubuntu.com Hi folks, Last week at UDS, we discussed using a Launchpad distribution to track development (branches and bugs) of Ensemble formulas. Instead of putting everything in the principia project, sourcepackage in that context would be a formula. That allows per formula bug and branches, while maintaining the relationship amonst them in the "Principa" distribution. Using distributions in that way will raise some bugs in Launchpad. We will iron out the experience as we find them. Off the start, we already know about two important ones: https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/386596 - this is the one about creating source package names which act as components in the bugtracker. https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/781993 - this is about making it possible to file bugs even though soyuz isn't being used. There is a work-around for the first one (upload an empty package to a PPA with the wanted sourcepackage name). And since most of the existing formulas reuse the name of the Ubuntu package (haproxy, mediawiki, etc.), the impact of the second one is also limited currently. Nonetheless, these two bugs were escalated and will be taken care of by our maintenance squads shortly. So unless there are objections, I'd like to rename the existing principia project to principa-old and deactivate it. I would create a new distribution called 'principia' (with the same owner). We should then upload branches for the existing formulas. Objections, comments? -- Francis J. Lacoste francis.laco...@canonical.com -----------------------------------------
