Launchpad itself

project vanished

Asked by Eric S. Johansson

my project esjtools vanished sometime in the past year or two. Of unfortunately not been very active and I'm wondering what's happened to it? If it's gone bye-bye and I need to re-create, I can do that but I would like to place it back into the same name esjtools.

I've searched for it, I find some references to it in other people's accounts that makes no sense but every time I've tried to go to a page that references it, I'm told that the page no longer exists

Hi,

I've reactivated the project. There was no note left in the project record concerning the reason for the prior deactivation (though I would expect you to have been contacted by email at the time), so I would speculate the project was either deactivated because it seemed too much like an empty test project, or because you have not specified any license information for it.

Launchpad requires that each project declare its license information to affirm that it is an open source project that is eligible for free hosting on Launchpad - therefore, please visit https://launchpad.net/esjtools/+edit and set up the license information for esjtools.

I had a repository associated with this project and the only thing I can think of was that I did something wrong with bzr and half created the project.

If you take a quick look and see if you can find the associated repository anywhere, it would be appreciated. if it's MIA, I'll just take my lumps and re-create what I can.

All Launchpad project branches have a three part name:

  lp:~user/project/branchname

They can optionally have aliases:

  lp:project/series

  lp:project

You probably want to visit https://launchpad.net/esjtools/trunk/+linkbranch to link the existing branch to the trunk series, which will confer on it the aliases.
