Launchpad itself

Link series to trunk milestones

Asked by Loïc Grobol

I like to have a trunk series for the bleeding edge development and a series per version. So I have a "trunk" series, with milestones for v0.1, v0.7… I would like to link the version series to these milestones. To represent it in a tree-like view, I want something like

trunk ------ 0.1 ---------- 0.7 ------------ 1 --------->
                       \ \------- 0.7.1 ------->
                         \------ 0.1.1 -----0.1.2 ------>

Is it possible to do this using Launchpad/Bazaar? How?

If you look at http://Launchpad.net/bzr I think we have something like what
you want.
You create a separate series for each horizontal line (0.1, 0.7, trunk),
then create milestones on each series. You'll also want a separate bzr
branch for each series.

Is that enough to get you going?

Well, this is precisely what I have been doing so far. For example in https://launchpad.net/cteslo
The only thing I miss is to be able to specify when a stable series (here only 0.7 so far) has diverged from the trunk. I use milestones on the trunk to do that, but as you can see the graph looks like all the series stem from the same root.

AFAIK Launchpad does not have the ability to say where a series split off.
If you use bzr and what, you can do:

  bzr qlog trunk 0.7 1.1
(List each branch)
And it will show you the different branches and how their commits interact.
However that will show more than just tagged releases.
