This is from https://launchpad.net/launchpad-buildd. |
| Line 41: | Line 40: |
| = bzr-pqm = There's a build of this in Lucid. Why? |
python-lpbuildd is used by the test suite, so is part of launchpad-developer-dependencies. launchpad-buildd itself runs an actual buildd and is only needed on slaves. |

| = python-debian = Needed for bugfixes and renaming of the module from debian_bundle to debian. |
|
| Line 50: | Line 45: |
| = xulrunner = Our `jslint` process requires a Javascript interpreter, ideally Spidermonkey, because Rhino is too slow. The Ubuntu source package of xulrunner no longer builds spidermonkey-bin. Therefore we have the Debian source package, minimally hacked to build only the binary packages which the Ubuntu source no longer provides, in the PPA, from Lucid onwards. (should put this in a branch) |

| Line 53: | Line 47: |
| = Rebuilds to restore older Python support = Most of the PPA is rebuilds of python library packages to re-instate support for the old Python version Launchpad requires, which has since been dropped as a supported version in Ubuntu. |

| Line 56: | Line 49: |
| In jaunty/karmic, the need was to re-add Python 2.4 support. Launchpad made it to Python 2.5 for Karmic... and now the need is to re-add Python 2.5 support in lucid packages. | |

| At any given time, we will be supporting multiple Ubuntu series in the PPA: * The current development series - to permit Ubuntu developers on the bleeding edge to develop Launchpad (currently: maverick). * Use pragmatism in deciding when to start supporting a new development series - almost certainly not until alpha 1, at least. * The current release - most developers run it (currently: lucid). * The current LTS - the datacentre either runs it, or is going to be running it shortly (currently: lucid). * The next older LTS, if it's still in use on production datacentre machines (currently: hardy). * As many other older releases as it is reasonably practicable to do so, to accomodate developers on older releases (currently: karmic [a little iffy]), |
== Stable == * trusty (obsolete production LTS, still used by databases) * xenial (current production LTS) * bionic (next production LTS) == In progress == * focal (next, next production LTS?) When the supported series change, remember to also update [[Getting]] and [[Running]]. |
This page is documentation for uploaders to the Launchpad PPA. |
The Launchpad PPA (https://launchpad.net/~launchpad/+archive/ppa) contains dependencies for running Launchpad.
Launchpad-specific packages
bzr-lpreview-body
This package contains the lpreview_body plugin for Bazaar. The packaging can be found in lp:~launchpad/lpreview-body/packaging.
geoip-data-city-lite
This package is a single data file, which upstream publishes updates to monthly. Why haven't we updated it since 2008?
- Because we are using it only for tests and updating too frequently may actually break some tests (we've seen it happen). It's no big deal if developers don't get the fully up-to-date geoIP DB. Production uses the proprietary geoIP DB instead. — Danilo (2010-01-21)
launchpad-dependencies
The launchpad-dependencies source is managed in Bazaar branches at https://code.launchpad.net/meta-lp-deps.
Policy/procedure for updates:
- You will need bzr-builddeb and debhelper packages installed.
- Edit debian/control to add or change the dependencies.
- Set the DEBEMAIL and DEBFULLNAME environment variables. Your name and email address must match an identity in your GPG key exactly. You may want to put this in your shell rc file so you don't have to set it manually every time.
- Run 'debchange -i' in the root to increment the version number and add a changelog entry in the correct format. Remember that launchpad-dependencies should not have an ubuntu1 suffix on its version number, so if debchange -i adds that for you, take it out again and increment the unsuffixed version number instead.
- debcommit or bzr commit
- Exercise personal judgment on whether your change merits a merge proposal, or is sufficiently trivial to just be committed directly.
- If preparing a merge proposal, please ensure your branch for review contains a complete debian/changelog entry ready for release.
- Go to the trunk (or older distro) branch and merge / commit or pull changes ready to build.
Test-build your package:
bzr builddeb
Since the package has a Launchpad build recipe, you only need to push the branch to Launchpad:
bzr push lp:meta-lp-deps
launchpad-buildd
This is from https://launchpad.net/launchpad-buildd.
python-lpbuildd is used by the test suite, so is part of launchpad-developer-dependencies. launchpad-buildd itself runs an actual buildd and is only needed on slaves.
The package is built daily or on request by a recipe
lpsetup
?? (probably only used by parallel buildbot slaves, which are probably using the puppet fork anyway)
mmm-archive-manager
??
Backported or patched Ubuntu packages
postgresql-10, postgresql-common, postgresql-debversion, slony1-2 (trusty, xenial)
Straight backports of PostgreSQL 10 and paraphernalia from bionic to trusty. bionic's version is fine.
pgbouncer (trusty)
Trusty's pgbouncer with wgrant's ENABLE/DISABLE patch as required by full-update.py. For the benefit of launchpad-dependencies, the patched package additionally Provides pgbouncer-with-disconnect.
The ENABLE/DISABLE patch is included upstream in pgbouncer 1.6, so xenial's version is fine.
libgit2, git (bionic)
Various updates backported from focal for use on git.launchpad.net.
convoy
Daily builds of lp:convoy with custom packaging. The packaging is based on Landscape's, but modified to install Launchpad's convoy.wsgi. Ubuntu's modern packaging uses dh-python and supports Python 3.
debian-archive-keyring (xenial, bionic, focal)
Straight backport for new Debian archive keys for gina's mirror. hirsute's version is fine.
git-build-recipe
Daily builds of lp:git-build-recipe for buildds.
Distro series support
Stable
- trusty (obsolete production LTS, still used by databases)
- xenial (current production LTS)
- bionic (next production LTS)
In progress
- focal (next, next production LTS?)
When the supported series change, remember to also update Getting and Running.
