Psycopg migrated to Bazaar

28 April, 2008 – 10:07 pm

Last week we moved psycopg from Subversion to Bazaar.  I did the migration using Gustavo Niemeyer’s svn2bzr tool with a few tweaks to map the old Subversion committer IDs to the email address form conventionally used by Bazaar.
The tool does a good job of following tree copies and create related Bazaar branches.  It doesn’t have […]

Inkscape Migrated to Launchpad

28 November, 2007 – 1:13 pm

Yesterday I performed the migration of Inkscape’s bugs from SourceForge.net to Launchpad. This was a full import of all their historic bug data – about 6900 bugs.
As the import only had access to the SF user names for bug reporters, commenters and assignees, it was not possible to link them up to existing Launchpad […]

On the way to Boston

27 October, 2007 – 11:43 am

I am at Narita Airport at the moment, on the way to Boston for some of the meetings being held during UDS. It’ll be good to catch up with everyone again.
Hopefully this trip won’t be as eventful as the previous one to Florida

Schema Generation in ORMs

28 September, 2007 – 6:05 pm

When Storm was released, one of the comments made was that it did not include the ability to generate a database schema from the Python classes used to represent the tables while this feature is available in a number of competing ORMs. The simple reason for this is that we haven’t used schema generation […]

In Florida

29 August, 2007 – 12:02 pm

This week I am in Florida for a Launchpad sprint. I was meant to arrive on Sunday night, but I fell asleep in the boarding lounge and missed the San Francisco → Orlando flight (the flight out of Perth was an early morning one, and I didn’t get enough sleep on the plane). […]

The new Canonical Shop was opened recently which allows you to buy anything from Ubuntu tshirts and DVDs up to a 24/7 support contract for your server.
One thing to note is that this is the first site using our new Launchpad single sign-on infrastructure. We will be rolling this out to other […]

Bazaar Bundles

31 July, 2007 – 1:51 pm

This article follows on from the series of tutorials on using Bazaar that I have neglected for a while. This article is about the bundle feature of Bazaar. Bundles are to Bazaar branches what patches are to tarballs or plain source trees.
Context/unified diffs and the patch utility are arguably one of most important […]

Storm Released

15 July, 2007 – 10:24 pm

This week at the EuroPython conference, Gustavo Niemeyer announced the release of Storm and gave a tutorial on using it.
Storm is a new object relational mapper for Python that was developed for use in some Canonical projects, and we’ve been working on moving Launchpad over to it. I’ll discuss a few of the […]

gnome-vfs-obexftp 0.3

13 June, 2007 – 11:37 am

I’ve just released a new version of gnome-vfs-obexftp, which includes the features discussed previously. It can be downloaded from:
http://download.gnome.org/sources/gnome-vfs-obexftp/0.3/
The highlights of the release include:

Sync osso-gwobex and osso-gnome-vfs-extras changes from Maemo Subversion.
Instead of asking hcid to set up the RFCOMM device for communication, use an RFCOMM socket directly. This is both faster and doesn’t […]
