These are the high-level UserStories that we'll be working on for the next major cycle of Launchpad development.
The stories are grouped into major "themes", and have numbers that match these themes.
Not all the stories that we came up with are here. There are also many stories that we aren't going to work on right now that we hope to work on later.
Other stories that we came up with were duplicates of the ones here. We've kept them for reference at /DuplicateStories.
Getting bugs "off" Ubuntu
Story 1
As an Ubuntu developer
I want to see only valid, well-written bugs that actually affect Ubuntu when I am doing Ubuntu development
so that I can make quick, informed decisions about what to work on.
Story 1.1
XXX - Not on RoadMap
As an Ubuntu QA engineer
I want to report a bug already reported in Ubuntu to the upstream bug tracker using a single button
So that the bug can be fixed by upstreamNotes:
Single button to forward bugs upstream. Anything more takes too much time & mental energy.
- Credentials stored in Launchpad so the bug looks like it came from me.
- Don't want to irritate the upstream, want to help them.
- "Be a good citizen"
Story 1.2
FIXME - not directly on RoadMap, but kind of "supporting technologies" track.
As an Ubuntu QA engineer
I want just-in-time easy registration of an upstream project and bug tracker, as part of my bug-forwarding workflow
So that I can start forwarding bugs right away without breaking my workflow.
Story 1.3
XXX - Not on RoadMap
As an non-LP hosted upstream developer
I want to be told when a bug in my software in Ubuntu is determined to be an upstream bug
So that I can investigate it.
Story 1.4
XXX - Not on RoadMap
As a Ubuntu user
I want when reporting a bug in Ubuntu to see if the problem is known upstream
So that I can follow the progress of the bug fix wherever that may happen, and maybe learn about a workaround.
Story 1.5
XXX - Not on RoadMap
As an Ubuntu QA engineer,
I want to have all the bug reports from an upstream project in Launchpad
so that I can easily relate bugs reported against Ubuntu packages to upstream bug reports.
Story 1.6
Bug Q&A on RoadMap
As an Ubuntu QA engineer
I want users viewing an untriaged bug page to be prompted for a question helping the bug report become complete
So that I can be more effective in my triaging effort.
Package of the day Network
Story 2
As an Ubuntu user who has found their software is too old
I want to find newer versions of the package (in PPAs, backports, etc.)
So that I can get past the bug I'm encountering.
Story 2'
As an upstream developer,
I want the tip of my project readily available to Ubuntu desktop users,
so that I know that it builds and testers can get to it easily,Notes:
- Having a build of tip always available is unrealistic. Having a daily (or regular) build is much more achievable and gets similar results.
- This gives the upstream a bigger testing ground. Ubuntu is a great means of getting their work to more people.
Story 2.1
As an Ubuntu developer,
I want an upstream branch available for all the packages in main
So that I can easily see the source code, for example to see if a bug has been fixed, or to see the delta between my package and recent upstream.
Resources
Story 2.2
FIXME - not directly on RoadMap, but kind of "supporting technologies" track.
- As a Ubuntu developer who found that the upstream branch not available in
Launchpad
I want to quickly register a code import for it
So that I can work with the source code from Launchpad right away, and so I (or someone else) can rebase the corresponding source package branch to use Launchpad.Notes: Low latency is key here.
Story 2.3
Daily builds on RoadMap
As an Ubuntu developer,
I want to be able to build my source package branch into an Ubuntu package,
so that it takes less of my time and effort to get the software that interests me into Ubuntu.Notes: Doesn't take scheduling daily builds into account, but needs to in order to satisfy Story 2 and Story 2'.
Story 2.4
FIXME - what does this mean?
As an Ubuntu developer
I want to upload a source package branch the way I upload a regular branch
so I don't have to upload the whole thing every time I make a change
Story 2.10
XXX - Not on RoadMap
Story 2.1
As a tester of upstreams using Ubuntu
I want my system to be updated daily with the latest code
so I'm not wasting my efforts by testing old code
Story 2.11
Daily builds on RoadMap
As a maintainer of a daily build
I want my package to be rebuilt automatically when new versions are available
so I don't have to trigger builds myself.
Archive Snapshot
Story 3.1
XXX - Not on RoadMap
As an Ubuntu developer
I want to take a snapshot of the current state of the archive
so I don't have to freeze development on that archive while I'm building an image.
Story 3.2
XXX - Not on RoadMap
As an Ubuntu developer
I want to tweak a single package in a snapshot
so I can quickly fix bugs found in an image.
Translations
Story 4.1
As an developer of an upstream project,
I want to have translations of my project in Ubuntu to get into my project automatically,
so I don't have to manually merge them over and over again and my project gets the benefit of the work done in Ubuntu.
Story 4.1.1
As an upstream developer of an external project
I want to see translations made for the Ubuntu package of my project submitted to my contribution tracker
So that translation effort made on the distro benefits my project.
Story 4.1.2
As an upstream developer of a project in Launchpad
I want to see translations made for the Ubuntu package of my software get to my project translations
So that translation effort made on the distro benefits my project.
Story 4.2
As an Ubuntu developer/translator,
I want to have upstream translations automatically integrated into Ubuntu,
so that people don't waste time translating strings for a package that have already been translated upstream.
Story 4.2.0
Depends on the Registry team
As an Ubuntu developer/translator,
I want to be directed to set up an upstream project translations import,
so that I can use upstream translations in Ubuntu.
Requirements:
- get upstream project registered
package <-> upstream link
- get code imported
- indicate that translations should be imported, and direct people to the process from translations pages
Story 4.2.1
As an Ubuntu developer/translator,
I want to see up-to-date upstream translations in Launchpad,
so that it's easy to make use of them through global suggestions when translating Ubuntu.
Main substory:
As an Ubuntu GNOME translator,
I want Launchpad to import up-to-date upstream GNOME translations,
so that it's easy for me to integrate latest GNOME translations in Ubuntu.
For dummies:
This means sucking information out of upstream branches, regenerating the POT files if the project is intltool-based.
Technical steps:
- Depends on generic build infrastructure
- Regenerate POT files for GNOME
- Figuring out that project is intltool-based (est. cost: 2)
- Establish a secure environment to run the process in (UNKNOWN QUANTITY)
- Full branch checkout (1)
- Find all relevant translation templates (1)
- Regenerate all POT files (2)
- Insert POT into import queue together with PO files (UNKNOWN)
- Side-optimization: extend super-fast-imports to deal with POT files as well so we don't repeatedly re-import them with every commit
Story 4.2.2
As an Ubuntu developer/translator,
I want to see upstream project translations in Launchpad automatically used in Ubuntu using the general upstream import rules,
so I don't have to manually activate them using global suggestions.
Story 4.2.3
As an Ubuntu translator,
I want to translate only messages that are specific to Ubuntu package (not existing in upstream project templates),
so I can deliver Ubuntu-specific translations faster.
