Please include into main

MIR report: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionReport/PythonLaunchpadlib

If, before Jaunty releases, we can have these two things:
 - apport switched to python-launchpadlib
 - python-launchpad-bugs demoted to universe
then I approve. Promoting python-launchpadlib and its deps would then be a net win: the support effort will be reduced.

+1

Thanks. The switch is already prepared in a branch and available in PPA, waiting for the FFE in bug 353879 to get approved. Once done, p-lp-bugs automatically falls out of main.

Martin,

Will any of the outstanding bugs affect the installed case?

In particular, the current proposed fix for the encoding problem
we looked at the other day may not be easily applicable to the
package, due to major refactoring upstream. If that is an issue
then deferring this until after Jaunty may be preferred.

Obviously py-lp-bugs has an unknown maintenance burden for
the release, so we may be better off with lplib and the workaround
anyway.

Thanks,

James

No, I already committed workarounds for bug 353805 and bug 353784 and
rolled them out to the retracer bots. They will do just fine. I don't
depend on any launchpadlib changes in Jaunty for this right now.

There is another failure that occurs some times, which I still need to
investigate. But it looks like it should be easy to work around in
apport as well.

Also, let me reiterate that this update does not affect bug
*reporting* in any way (the code for this does not change at all).
This change is solely for retracing, and for dropping p-lp-bugs out of
the dependency chain and thus out of main.

Ah, that sounds perfect then. Thanks for the clarification.

Kees, I'm not sure why you've subscribed ubuntu-archive here. Per <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess>, the next step is for someone to upload a package to main that actually uses python-launchpadlib, at which point it will show up for us in component-mismatches and we can find this bug report in the ubuntu-mir buglist - until then, there doesn't appear to be any action for us to take related to this bug.

python-apport in karmic depends on python-launchpadlib.

Since Kees approved, I promoted this now.
