Launchpad itself

Code import from git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/fslint.git and git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/fslint.git fails - should I report a bug?

Asked by Mantas Kriaučiūnas

Hi Launchpad developers,

I need to import code from Debian packaging git (fslint package), because there are no branches for fslint at https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fslint or https://code.launchpad.net/debian/+source/fslint

But code import from git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/fslint.git fails, also I've tried git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/fslint.git - this adress is specified at http://packages.qa.debian.org/f/fslint.html - the same error in log:

 bzrlib.errors.BadIndexKey: The key 'fslint/tstlnt/findnl/' is not a valid key.

See https://code.launchpad.net/~baltix/fslint/fslint-debian and
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/170109270/baltix-fslint-fslint-debian.log

It seems this is a bug, should I report a bug and against which launchpad project?

It's not possible to import that repository into Bazaar. Its history contains a filename that consists of a single line feed character (yes, a file named "\n"), and Bazaar doesn't support files named purely with whitespace.

Very strange situation, maybe Lauchpad has ability to import only latest code, without history?

That's not possible. The nature of Git repostories means that we need the full history.

Maybe Launchpad could simply ignore such files, which names aren't supported by Bazaar?
Should I report a wishlist bug? Not for this particular situation, but for other, future situations?

If you think, that such bugreport would be useful - please tell me against which launchpad project.

Thanks,

It's not possible to do a partial representation of the tree, for the same reason it's not possible to do a partial representation of the history. If you want to file a bug, bzr-git is probably the correct component. But it's unlikely to be fixed unless you write a patch.

Can you help with this problem?
