–fixes lp:1234

Under bug tracking , code , feature friday | Comment

As I’ve said before, Launchpad is pretty big. Getting to know everything you can to do in Launchpad can take a while.

Of course, there are the user guide, the tour and the dev wiki even has a feature check-list. It’s still easy to miss things.

So, I’m turning the fifth day of each week into Feature Friday :)

I’m gonna kick off with something I use a lot and that, to be honest, is more a Bazaar feature, than a Launchpad feature:

bzr commit -m "Adds email functionality to the client, thereby obeying Zawinski's law." --fixes lp:1234

Adding --fixes lp:1234 to a commit tells Bazaar that the branch contains a fix for bug 1234 tracked in Launchpad.

The next time you push the branch to Launchpad, Launchpad will create a link between the branch and bug 1234.

Merge proposals: improved comment handling

March 4, 2010

Under code | Comment

Tim has made a couple of improvements to the way that comments are displayed on merge proposals.

The first is pretty simple but makes it far easier to see which merge proposals need attention. Up until now, if you gave your merge proposal a description it would show up as a comment. This made it harder to see which merge proposals had zero activity.

Now, your description no longer shows up as a comment. And you can edit your description in-line using the same Javascript editor as you’ll find on bug pages.

The other change affects merge proposals that supersede another merge proposal. The merge proposal page explicitly states that it supersedes a previous proposal.

It also lists all the comments from that previous review, giving them a yellow background and a link to the superseded review so you can easily tell them apart from comments on the current review.
