 One does not simply fork launchpad.

 Chris,

 Launchpad is technically open source, but it's designed to be used only
 on Canonical's infrastructure and they aren't interested in making it run
 elsewhere. It's open source so that people can help Canonical out, not so
 people can set up their own instances.

 Regards,
 Cassidy James

 Fabian,

 Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't launchpad open source? There's been
 much talk about Launchpad mock-ups and redesigns, etc. Maybe you could
 simply fork launchpad as opposed to creating a replacement?

 So I'm gonna enter that conversation here, if we want to have automated
 builds for debian based systems not on Launchpad we really need the
 following:

1. Hardware (we already got a virtual server capable of building the
daily isos, so it should be able to handle this, if needed we can also go
dedicated)
2. a build daemon, which is buildd that debian uses for it's build
machines (we can use that 1 to 1 like launchpad)
3. a system managing builds and versions (which I'd prefer to build
or use something highly flexible and adapt)
4. a repo server that hosts the packages and can support high
traffic (that's a matter of renting it really)

 I don't see any issue in these things, especially the hardware and build
 based stuff. Building something to manage the builds and versions should
 not be a big deal either, but the real question has to be if we want to go
 and diy a Launchpad replacement or use something finished and integrate the
 build part into it.

 what do we need in order to get our own repo and automated build
 infrastructure? Is it a hardware issue?


 A lot of things I'm afraid. Off the top of my head, the list is as
 follows:

1. hardware
2. pbuilder configuration (mostly done)
3. some piece of software to accept dput uploads (should exist, but
not found yet)
4. some piece of software to create and maintain the repository
(should exist, but not found yet)
5. lots of integration scripts to write and secondary systems to
set up (mailer to report failed builds, etc)
6. some UI to be able to make sense of all that and manage the
setup (probably doesn't exist)
