On a related note to my other email about webservice bugs, I'll mention the
upcoming high-level tasks for the webservice.
- Leonard is wrapping up "webservice version 1.0," which shows that we can now
support different simultaneous versions. This means we can support released
applications, such as apport, while continuing to improve our API in backwards
incompatible ways. 1.0 is very slightly cleaned up version of the
long-standing "beta" service (which, despite its name, is now also frozen,
because released applications depend on it). Versions will remain supported
until the Ubuntu release that uses it becomes unsupported. Launchpad's own
Javascript usage will track the API development version, named "devel".
- He will then address bug 336866 ("When adding tag or updating description,
lp_save() gives "HTTP Error 412: Precondition Failed").
- We'll give Launchpad developers an example of how to use launchpadlib
directly in tests.
- We'll work on webservice performance (client and server side).
- We'll consult with Jonathan Lange (as a proxy for other launchpadlib users)
to identify and address a set of webservice infrastructure issues that can make
using the webservice more of a pleasure. There are a number of possibilities
on the table here; I'll publicize them when we get closer to the time.
- Leonard will change the Launchpad webservice to apply the infrastructure
improvements from the previous item. This will both let him dogfood the
changes from the previous effort, and generally give him a chance to improve
the API of the Launchpad webservice itself.
