[Maria-developers] Reviewing bug reports: feature needed
Hi all, after reviewing some MariaDB related bugs on bugs.launchpad.net/maria it occurred to me, that there is no link between the bug state "Fix Committed" and the corresponding patch, which fixed the issue. Is there a way to link a bzr patch/push to a launchpad bug report? If not, where can I do a feature request about it?

IIRC launchpad can link *branches* (not pushes or changesets) to bugs somehow. It seems the linking is done only manually, i.e. one needs to go for example to https://code.launchpad.net/~maria-captains/maria/5.1-merge, click the "Link to a bug report" and so forth. Because of the above, they will probably not be very interested to support our way, where commits are auto-associated with bugs based on mention of "BUG#nnnn" in the commit comment. I guess it should be possible to roll our own script that would be subscribed to commits email and branch changes (easy part) and update the bug status accordingly (hard part). The problem with the hard part is that we can do it with - Launchpad's API (it has some), if it allows to do that, or - scripting the web actions on launchpad website. which will of course break every time launchpad changes the look of their website.

`bzr commit` has a --fixes option, so one can say bzr commit --fixes lp:nnnn I believe this will cause a linking to happen on Launchpad. (but I guess this still counts as "manual", and as far as I know it does not work with `bzr gcommit`). - Kristian.

So a possible feature request would be to: - Have a field in 'bzr gcommit' where you can list bugs that are fixed with the patch. - Allow one to run bzr gcommit with a --fixes option Kurt, can you ask the launchpad/bzr devs what they could do for us to solve this?

Best regards,
I have spoken to Karl Fogel in the past about setting up a roundtable discussion between Launchpad developers and Maria devs. The purpose would be for us to give feedback and suggest features we'd like to see. This would be a good example of a topic for such a discussion. If this seems like a productive use of time, I am happy to coordinate such a meeting. Just let me know. -- ./k kurt von finck http://www.mneptok.com public key: keyserver.ubuntu.com key id: 5229D26A fingerprint: 127A A484 ADBF A5AD E7FB 8CD2 8913 18F4 5229 D26A Music is the space between the notes. - Debussy

A roundtable with bzr developer(s) would be very good. In my case, I would like to spend a bit more time with the launchpad bugsystem to collect more ideas and get better understanding of it. Where "a bit more time" is four weeks or so. How about a meeting in January 2010?
