How to link commits to blueprints

Asked by andrewdied

I use blueprints as feature descriptions, and sometimes put some design notes in on how I think the feature will work or how it will be coded. When I write and commit the feature I want to link the commit to a blueprint, just like I link a commit to a bug with 'bzr commit --fixes lp:12345 -m "reset the flubarge"'. This way I can trace the code commits to the one that was at least supposed to add the feature.

How can I do that with blueprints?

There's no infrastructure to do that at the moment, AFAIK.

I think there are two things missing actually, one on the bzr side to add some kind of option to record the blueprint information in the branch, much like how it's done with --fixes lp:12345 and another one on the LP side which is a way to understand that meta data in the branch. I don't think there are any plans to include such infrastructure in the short term. If you're willing to contribute a patch, see https://dev.launchpad.net/PatchSubmission. Before starting working on it, I suggest you to email the launchpad developers mailing list first or joining #launchpad-dev on irc.freenode.net and talk to one of the LP developers about your idea.

Cheers,

Diogo
