As mentioned on [[Getting]], Launchpad is not currently supported on Ubuntu Karmic Koala.

This page is a place to collect notes written for and by people living on the bleeding edge and attempting to get Launchpad working on Karmic.

= Phase 1 - Python 2.4 =
Phase 1 is to get it working on Karmic using Python 2.4 - this requires rebuilding quite a few Python module packages, as Python 2.4 is not a supported Python version in Karmic. These packages are in my PPA for Launchpad-related packages [[https://launchpad.net/~maxb/+archive/launchpad]] and are ''mostly'' synced into the official Launchpad PPA.

Status: some test failures
 * canonical.testing.layers.!LaunchpadZopelessLayer tests:
  * lp.archiveuploader.tests.test_ppauploadprocessor.TestPPAUploadProcessor.testPPAUploadResultingInNoBuilds - `FatalUploadError: Unable to find mandatory field 'files' in the changes file.`
  * lp.archiveuploader.tests.test_uploadprocessor.!TestUploadProcessor.testUploadResultingInNoBuilds - `FatalUploadError: Unable to find mandatory field 'files' in the changes file.`
  * lp.soyuz.tests.test_packageupload.!PackageUploadTestCase.test_realiseUpload_for_delayed_copies - `AssertionError: <DBItem PackageUploadStatus.DONE, (3) Done> != <DBItem PackageUploadStatus.ACCEPTED, (2) Accepted>`
   * wgrant can't reproduce this on karmic i386
 * canonical.testing.layers.!LaunchpadFunctionalLayer tests:
  * lib/canonical/launchpad/ftests/../doc/canonical_url_examples.txt - `http://launchpad.dev/+groups vs. http://translations.launchpad.dev/+groups`

Once it becomes possible to run the testsuite successfully with Python 2.4 on Karmic, we move on to phase 2...

= Phase 2 - Python 2.5 =

The ultimate goal is to migrate Launchpad to Python 2.6. Rather than go straight to Python 2.6, I (maxb) am focusing on Python 2.5 first as a stepping stone.

== Launchpad code itself ==
https://code.launchpad.net/~maxb/launchpad/python2.5 contains a few fixes:
 * Adjusting the Python version in the Makefiles
 * Adjusting import statements to handle the built-in location of cElementTree in Python 2.5
 * Making buildmailman.py compatible with Python 2.5 sys.path_importer_cache behaviour
 * Fixing Launchpad's !TestCase subclass for method renames in unittest in Python 2.5
 * etc...

== Launchpad source dependencies - Zope ==
Thanks to the completion and landing of Gary's zbuildout branch, the zope branch previously listed here is now obsolete.

However, you'll now need to fetch https://code.launchpad.net/~maxb/lp-source-dependencies/python2.5, for a patched version of `zope.sendmail`, working around a change in the ordering of atexit vs. waiting for non-main non-daemon threads to shut down which otherwise caused various Python processes to hang on shutdown.
