Can't link a series to a branch lp:~sikuli-dev/+junk/X1

Asked by Tsung-Hsiang Chang

I just created a new series in my project sikuli, https://launchpad.net/sikuli/sikuli-x. When I was trying to link the series to a branch at lp:~sikuli-dev/+junk/X1, launchpad told me that the value is invalid. I tried another format without "lp:", but still failed.

This is by design. You need to push your branch to the project's name to explicitly state that your branch is for the project. Then you can set that branch as the project's series branch.

So, is there any way to change the name of an existing branch?

You can change the name of a branch, and you used to be able to change
the project its for as well - I haven't done that in a while though,
so I'm not sure if you still can.

You can do with with the API, but the web UI to change projects for branches was disabled a while ago due to not having a good solution for package branches. This needs to be fixed, and is on our road map. For now, if you like, I could move the branch for you.

Although it looks like you have done something yourself.

Thanks, Rob and Tim!
I have managed to create a new branch and copy the old one to it.
