QEMU bug tracker on Launchpad

QEMU bug tracker on Launchpad

[Anthony Liguori]

Dustin Kirkland was kind enough to setup a bug tracker for QEMU on 
Launchpad.  I would like to make this the official QEMU bug tracker 
unless there is significant objection.

There are a number of QEMU/KVM bug trackers mostly distribution centric 
today.  Having a common upstream bug tracker will help immensely in 
coordinating bug fixing effort for those people who are interested in 
that sort of thing :-)

Here are some of the requirements I had for a bug tracker in no 
particular order:

 1) minimal work required for the QEMU maintainers
 2) ability to link bugs to external bug trackers
 3) ability to control bug status via mails
 4) API for scripting

The biggest issue for me with Launchpad was that it is not open source 
today.  Canonical is actively working to release the source code though 
and have scheduled a date for release this July.  See the link below for 
more information.

I've already begun using this bug tracker so you can look through it 
today to get a feeling for what it's like.

The links on code tab do not show which is our tree and there are some
Ubuntu trees:
https://code.launchpad.net/qemu

Can that be fixed?

This 'code' tab does not yet support git.  The trees you're seeing are
bzr.  I don't think Anthony has any intention of using the bzr functions
of Launchpad, and the qemu git tree will remain at
git://git.savannah.nongnu.org/qemu.git.

For convenience, I have setup a periodic sync of the latest git (using
git fast-export | bzr fast-import -).

I'll move the Ubuntu trees elsewhere, sorry for the noise.
