I just had a good talk with James about what the Bazaar team could do to help UDD move forward. We are making progress on some particular bugs but the analysis feels a bit inchoate. So my theory is that we will be more efficient if we pick a clearer focus to do first.
We talked about: * vcs imports - very visible so could be good, but not a pressing problem now * could just focus on looms: getting them in the next default format, getting them in the core, making them really nice - question about whether they should fit on top of recipes or how they should relate * could work on current package import failures - mostly by fixing bugs in bzr - james_w will investigate, could file some bugs, maybe not a productive main focus (because don't have access to that machine and not familiar with that code) * could work on udd-related merge features - not so much one overall story as getting some bugs * nested trees for imports - git submodules and svn externals * merging unrelated branches in recipes - may need to bring together unmergeable pkg and vcs import branches * rewriting branches - james probably working on this; might want help james_w could nominate a few bugs for 2.1. mbp - ask pitti again for feedback or to sponsor the SRU of <https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad-code/+bug/494807>. So I think overall: for 2.1 (about four working weeks before rc1 and going to safe-bugfix-only mode): * bugs coming from: merging unrelated branches in recipes, pkg and vcs import failure bugs, other udd bugs (including specific merge scenarios) * filling those bug queues post 2.1: * either importing nested trees (more useful for bzr users generally and for imports), or good loom support (builtin, well integrated, in default format - more useful for udd and james's vote) - either would be good, the choice may be arbitrary * with either of these, probably improving the format/upgrade experience -- Martin <http://launchpad.net/~mbp/> -- ubuntu-distributed-devel mailing list ubuntu-distributed-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-distributed-devel
