| 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: oneiric). * 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: natty). * 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: none). * As many other older releases as it is reasonably practicable to do so, to accommodate developers on older releases (currently: maverick), |
== Stable == * precise (current production LTS) * trusty (next production LTS) == In progress == * xenial (next, next production LTS?) * yakkety (current development series) |
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.
bzr-pqm
bzr-pqm contains various plugins like lp-land. It needs to be maintained for all distroseries that we support development on.
This package is maintained through a recipe. See: https://code.launchpad.net/~launchpad-committers/+recipe/bzr-pqm-launchpad-ppa
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
html5-browser
??
lpsetup
?? (probably only used by parallel buildbot slaves, which are probably using the puppet fork anyway)
mmm-archive-manager

Backported or patched Ubuntu packages
pocket-lint (precise)
pocket-lint is in the Ubuntu primary archive, but the PPA upgrades precise's 0.5.30 to 0.5.31.
You can build trunk on demand using a recipe https://code.launchpad.net/~sinzui/+recipe/pocket-lint-daily
postgresql-9.3, postgresql-common, postgresql-debversion, slony1-2 (precise)
Straight backports of PostgreSQL 9.3 and paraphernalia from trusty to precise, since LP no longer runs on PostgreSQL 9.1.
pgbouncer (precise, trusty)
Trusty's pgbouncer with wgrant's ENABLE/DISABLE patch as required by full-update.py, and additionally backported to precise. 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 primary archive version is fine.
libsodium (precise, trusty)
Straight backports of wily's libsodium, for pymacaroons.
cgit, libgit2, python-pygit2, git (trusty)
Backported dependencies of turnip (for git.launchpad.net), not LP itself.
libgit2 and python-pygit2 sometimes have minor backports from master.
git (precise)
Cherrypicks of remote symbolic ref features for the LP git codeimport workers.
convoy
??
debian-archive-keyring (precise)
Straight backport for new Debian archive keys for gina's mirror.
debmirror (precise)
Straight backport to allow us to mirror https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2016/03/msg00006.html for gina.
apt, python-apt (precise, trusty)
Trusty's apt with apt-ftparchive source package caching backported, and additionally backported to precise.
python-apt is additionally backported to precise (with Python 3 support dropped and some test fixes) to cope with the new libapt-pkg.
python-debian (precise, trusty)
?? (backports from wily, but why?)
git-build-recipe
Daily builds of lp:git-build-recipe for buildds.
sbuild
??
Distro series support
Stable
- precise (current production LTS)
- trusty (next production LTS)
In progress
- xenial (next, next production LTS?)
- yakkety (current development series)
When the supported series change, remember to also update Getting and Running.
