* Topic for #launchpad set by mrevell at Thu Feb 15 17:01:54 2007
<lsproc> Is there any member of the launchpad team who can give me a hand?
<mpt> sabdfl, all landed up at the moment
<sabdfl> lsproc: ask away, will help if we can
<lsproc> sabdfl, Im new to launchpad, so when I was adding a release, I kinda messed it up a bit
<sabdfl> no worries
<sabdfl> that part of the system isn't very clear
<lsproc> I have 2 releases called 1.0a1, so its hard to tell the difference, and one just isn't meant to be there :P
<sabdfl> what do you need fixed?
<sabdfl> project?
<lsproc> hang on
<lsproc> https://launchpad.net/swishcms/swishnews/1.0a1 << thats the one that shouldnt be there
<lsproc> https://launchpad.net/swishcms/swishcontent/1.0a1 << and that should become SwishCONTENT 1.0a1, so its easier to tell the difference when others DO come
<sabdfl> is there actually a swishnews release?
<lsproc> not yet
<lsproc> thats something i am planning
<sabdfl> i'm trying to understand things here
<sabdfl> do you actually have TWO products?
<lsproc> just one, the other is in planning
<sabdfl> a productseries is like a "major version"
<sabdfl> right
<sabdfl> hmm
<sabdfl> we need to clean this up
<lsproc> yeah
* lsproc obiviously got mislead :P
<sabdfl> our fault
<sabdfl> what would you call the whole group of products?
<lsproc> well
<sabdfl> swishcms?
<lsproc> yeah
<sabdfl> ok
<sabdfl> and then you have one product called swishcontent
<lsproc> yes
<sabdfl> and one called swishnews?
* zwnj (n=behnam@213.207.210.231) has joined #launchpad
<sabdfl> are there ANY releases of either?
<lsproc> there is one release called 1.0a1 of swishcontent
<lsproc> there are no releases of swishnews
<lsproc> adding that was accidental
<lsproc> but it will come in the future
<sabdfl> what does swishcontent do?
<lsproc> its kinda like a wiki, but people dont collaborate on it, its just done by admins
<sabdfl> sweet jesus, there's a crasher in the code to edit the details of a release
<sabdfl> sigh
<lsproc> ?
<sabdfl> ok
<sabdfl> here is the structure i am creating
<sabdfl> give me a paragraph of text describing the overall project?
<lsproc> content or cms?
<sabdfl> cms
<lsproc> SwishCMS is a collection of scripts designed to make running a website quicker and easier. It is made up of a variety of subprojects that can all be linked together.
<lsproc> all i can think of just now :)
<sabdfl> homepage?
<lsproc> http://swishcms.berlios.de
* jkakar (n=jkakar@dhcp65-74-231-107.addi.dal.wayport.net) has joined #launchpad
<sabdfl> https://beta.launchpad.net/swishcms
<sabdfl> that's a "project group"
<sabdfl> it can include multiple products
<sabdfl> https://beta.launchpad.net/swishcontent
<sabdfl> that is the first product
<lsproc> ok
<sabdfl> in the first product, there are two series
<sabdfl> think of a series as a "major branch"
<sabdfl> or "branch of a stable release series"
<lsproc> ok
<sabdfl> there are TWO series
<sabdfl> one represents trunk
<sabdfl> mainline
<sabdfl> the other, 1.0
* raigl (n=Rainer@p548B12B9.dip0.t-ipconnect.de) has left #launchpad
<lsproc> ok
<sabdfl> you should connect the dots in bzr
<lsproc> and trunk is the one in bazaar
<sabdfl> right now, they are probably the same branch in bazaar
<lsproc> anyway
<sabdfl> when you are ready to make your first 1.0 release, and split trunk and ongoing 1.0  development, they diverge
<sabdfl> make sense?
<lsproc> yes
<sabdfl> then you have a branch for 1.0, from which you make any updated 1.0.x releases
<sabdfl> and continue development on trunk
<lsproc> aha
* niemeyer (n=niemeyer@dhcp65-74-231-89.addi.dal.wayport.net) has joined #launchpad
<sabdfl> when you are gearing up for 2.x
<sabdfl> you create a 2.0 series
<sabdfl> make a bazaar branch
<sabdfl> and voila
<lsproc> ok
* lsproc grabs whiteboard pen
<lsproc> right
<sabdfl> what does swishnews do?
<lsproc> ever heard of cutenews?
<sabdfl> nup
<lsproc> well
<lsproc> its essentially a news script written in php
<sabdfl> news like a blog, or rss feed?
<lsproc> general news
<lsproc> http://cutephp.com/
<lsproc> they put it much better :)
<sabdfl> https://beta.launchpad.net/swishcms
<sabdfl> ok, both products are there now
<lsproc> i cant access the beta site :/
<sabdfl> take out the beta. from the URL
<lsproc> ok
<sabdfl> there is a bug in LP that prevents me from renaming one of those releases
<lsproc> so is it fixed now?
<sabdfl> roughly
