How to delete https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/gradle/trunk

Asked by Russel Winder

Gradle has stopped using Subversion and now uses Git. The branch https://code.launchpad.net/~vcs-imports/gradle/trunk needs to be deleted and a mirror made of http://github.com/gradle/gradle.

Thanks.

Hi Russel,

Members of the vcs-imports team can remove branches owned by ~vcs-imports, I've just done this. You should be able to add the Git import yourself. Please note that using the git:// will be significantly faster than using the http:// URL.

The dialogue for creating a new branch forbids the git: protocol insisting on the https: protocol.

Anyway things are progressing.

Thanks.

Of course this raises another problem. I can use the command:

    bzr branch git://github.com/gradle/gradle.git Gradle

and I get a perfectly good branch. However if I try to puyt this URL in the mirror branch dialogue I just get:

The URI scheme "git" is not allowed. Only URIs with the following schemes may be used: bzr+ssh, ftp, http, https, sftp

Which sort of spoils things a bit. Is this in need of a bug report?

Are you sure you're registering an import rather than a mirror of a
Bazaar branch? I'm quite sure Launchpad supports git:// imports.

When I try to register a branch the options I am offered are:

    Hosted
    Mirrored
    Remore

I am choosing Mirrored since the title and explanation ("Primarily hosted elsewhere and is periodically mirrored from the external location into Launchpad.") appear to match what I am trying to do. I don't see an entry Import that is different. Clearly I am being stupid and not doing the right thing :-(

Those three are all for native Bazaar branches.

See https://code.edge.launchpad.net/gradle/+new-import

Try git://github.com/gradle/gradle as suggested on the web page of the
http URL.

Hummm... so you have to know to enter +new-import on the URL, there is no actual button to click on the Launchpad interface -- or have I just failed to find it?

The git: scheme is working fine for me, as are the mirrors of the Git masters I wanted. Now I just have to wait for the ability of bzr-git to deal with branches other than master.
