| [[https://wiki.canonical.com/Launchpad/EC2Test|Using ec2 test|land]] (sorry, still internal) works as described but you need to add one or two options to it. The `-b` option defines the public branch you are working on, so to just run the tests, do: {{{ cd my-db-devel-branch utilities/ec2 test -b launchpad-db-devel }}} The `-s` option defines a submit message for pqm; you must also use the `--pqm-submit-location` option to define where you want pqm to merge your branch into. This is a full call. {{{ cd my-db-devel-branch utilities/ec2 test -s 'Fix the frobnob.' -b launchpad=db-devel --pqm-submit-location=bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/db-devel }}} To my knowledge, the `lp:` address scheme cannot be used here. |

Working with db-devel
As the standard rocketfuel and ec2test scripts work on devel, some care must be taken when developing against db-devel. This is a guide for all who have only used rocketfuel-scripts so far.
Alternative trunk
Create an alternative trunk directory called db-devel next to your trunk directory in your repository (e.g. ~/launchpad/lp-branches).
bzr branch lp:~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/db-devel db-devel
Set the public location for this branch in ~/.bazaar/locations.conf
[<your-home-dir>/launchpad/lp-branches/db-devel]
public_branch = bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/db-develNow you can use this to create new branches of db-devel in lp-branches:
bzr branch db-devel my-db-devel-branch
You can update db-devel by pulling in changes.
cd db-devel bzr pull
You can merge changes from db-devel into your branch.
cd my-db-devel-branch bzr merge ../db-devel bzr commit -m"Merge db-devel."
To run code in your branch, you need to link the external source code. Normally rocketfuel-branch would do that for you.
cd my-db-devel-branch utilities/link-external-sourcecode ../../lp-sourcedeps/
Note: Should we make it a habit to prefix these branches' names with "db-" so we never forget? —jtv
You should still run rocketfuel-get regularly because it updates lp-sourcedeps and the links in all your branches (including your db-devel branches).
rocketfuel-get
Pushing to Launchpad
You can push to Launchpad as usual and it will currently actually stack on devel, so this should work even better than pushing to devel.
Creating a merge proposal
It is very important to get the merge target right when creating a merge proposal, otherwise your reviewer will see a much larger patch than what you thought you were submitting.
When creating a merge proposal through the UI make sure to pick db-devel. This is fairly easy.
Using bzr send is recommended. You can simply pass your local db-devel branch as the submit-branch to the lpsend command because you set up its public location earlier.
cd my-db-devel-branch bzr lpsend ../db-devel/
To get lpreview-body to work with lpsend and db-devel, so that you get a cover letter template, you need to do:
bzr lpsend bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/db-devel
Note: It is a good idea to mention that you want to merge into db-devel in the cover letter because it is not very conspicuous to the reviewer otherwise.
Running ec2 test|land
Using ec2 test (sorry, still internal) works as described. Just target your merge proposal to db-devel.
'ec2 land' looks at your merge proposal to see which branch you have targeted. If you have that set-up correctly then it will do the right thing.
cd my-db-devel-branch utilities/ec2 land <merge proposal url>
Submitting to PQM without testing. DO NOT DO THIS
Lastly, if you need to submit to pqm without going through ec2 (why ever? ;), you can use pqm-submit and pass in db-devel as the --submit-branch. You must include the bracketed tags manually in this case.
cd my-db-devel-branch bzr pqm-submit -m '[r=kermit][ui=none] Fix the frobnob.' --submit-branch=bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~launchpad-pqm/launchpad/db-devel
