I hope they get rid of the bzr versioning tool for their project management and adopt git. It's far more compatible with upstream - there's a significant effort to just syncing between git and bzr.
Yes, there is already some support, but not at feature parity to bzr. https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Git https://help.launchpad.net/Code/Git
I am impressed at how much of a community Launchpad has built, inspite of bazaar.
- marten-de-vries 10y agoLaunchpad still has a couple of very nice features you do not see at e.g. Github, in particular for desktop-oriented software: - Built-in translation support; there's a big community that can (and, in my experience, will!) help you translate your project's .pot files using Launchpad's interface. It also has auto-import and -export of files from the source repository. - Build recipes; this allows you to build .deb packages for your project, and to put them in a PPA which makes them easily testable for Ubuntu users. - Detailed progress tracking functionality; using releases, milestones, a nice bug tracker & blueprints. While I've in the past used Bazaar in conjunction with Launchpad, I'm happy to see them make the switch to Git. With its larger development community and popularity, it's a natural choice. Just a shame it isn't as well integrated yet.
- sandGorgon 10y agoLaunchpad is definitely nice. Bzr is the problem. I would go as far as saying that a lot of the ui flows from how bzr (and the lp tool behaves). I really hope they drop bzr and move to git.
