Name problem when importing two external git repositories

Asked by Simon Marchi on 2017-01-03

Hi,

I am trying to import two external git repositories in the same project, but I face some naming issues. I go in "Configure Code", and I create the first repository with the following information:

name: minicoredumper
team: minicoredumper
url: http://git.linuxfoundation.org/diamon/minicoredumper.git

Everything seems fine, the new repository is called lp:minicoredumper and an import is scheduled.

I then want to import the repository which contains the Debian package files. Here is the info I give:

name: minicoredumper-debian
team: minicoredumper
url: https://github.com/Linutronix/minicoredumper-debian.git

After that repo is created, the first repository is renamed to

lp:~minicoredumper/minicoredumper/+git/minicoredumper

and the new one takes its place as lp:minicoredumper. I would expect my second one to be called lp:minicoredumper-debian and not affect the first one.

Any idea what's happening here?

If you want to import another repository and not have it become the default repository for its target, then use https://code.launchpad.net/+code-imports/+new rather than https://code.launchpad.net/minicoredumper/+configure-code.

Incidentally, the first repository wasn't renamed as such. lp:<project> is just an alias that points to whichever repository is recorded as the default repository for that project; so the first repository was always lp:~minicoredumper/minicoredumper/+git/minicoredumper even if it was referred to by the shorter alias.

Ok, thanks, it's clearer now.

I ended up using new-import for both so now I have

lp:~minicoredumper/minicoredumper/+git/minicoredumper
lp:~minicoredumper/minicoredumper/+git/minicoredumper-debian

I deduced the URL for the new-import page from another project I manage (it's the page I was accustomed to). However, from the "code" page of my project [1], I can't find the link for that page anywhere. I only see "Configure Code", which I (wrongfully) assumed had replaced new-import.
