Change Details

[[ https://launchpad.net/ | Launchpad ]] uses two types of version control system (git and bazaar) but CVS and Subversion can be [[ https://help.launchpad.net/VcsImports | imported ]]. For git repositories, they can be directly fed to git loader, but for bazaar repositories, we need a separate loader. Bazaar repo can be [[ https://help.launchpad.net/Code/FindingAndDownloading | downloaded ]] via a bazaar command of this format ``` bzr branch lp:<projectname> ``` (reference http://blog.launchpad.net/general/the-great-source-code-supermarket) In launchpad for every project there one main branch called trunk That is in format ``` bzr branch lp:<projectname> ``` and rest are its branches which are in the format bzr branch ``` lp:~<author.name>/<project.name>/<name> ``` To ingest all the code, we need to list all the branches of all the projects. Launchpad proves an [[ https://api.launchpad.net/devel/ | API ]] which can be used to list all the projects and branches.

Plan to execute a lister- Either we can use the [[ https://api.launchpad.net/1.0.html#projects | API ]] to list all the projects of we can use the python library [[ https://help.launchpad.net/API/launchpadlib | launchpadlib ]] that lets you treat the HTTP resources published by Launchpad's web service as Python objects responding to a standard set of commands. Both can do the work well (Note here as fork is to Github, branch is to Launchpad) Now to list all the branches of a project we need to use launchpadlib to get all the branches.
