1. Launchpad & Bazaar Use Launchpad to work on team projects
Use Bazaar a Distributed Version Control System D-VCS

2. Launchpad & Bazaar: SSH Key
Browse to and create an account: username
Generate a ssh-key on your machine:
Open a terminal
Install ssh: sudo apt-get install openssh-client
Generate a key: ssh-keygen -t rsa
When prompted, press Enter to accept the default file name for your key
Enter a password (Optional)
Public key is stored in: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
Private key (secret!) is stored in: ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

3. Launchpad & Bazaar: SSH Key
Upload the ssh-key to launchpad
Browse to
You will see a place that says SSH Keys with an exclamation point (!) in a yellow circle next to it
Click on the (!) scroll down until you see Add an SSH Key and a text box
We will paste our public key into this text box:
In a terminal: gedit ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pun &
Copy and paste from gedit to the web browser
Now simply click on the button Import Public Key
Each computer you use, you need to import the ssh-key

4. Launchpad & Bazaar: Bazaar
Bazaar is a Version Control Software (VCS)
bzr is the main command to use
Create a branch to hold your code: bzr init
Add files to your branch: bzr add
Tell bzr who you are: bzr whoami
Change and commit code to your branch: bzr commit
See what has not been commited: bzr status
See what changes have been made: bzr log
Make a copy of a branch: bzr branch
Install bzr: sudo apt-get install bzr bzrtool

5. Launchpad & Bazaar: Locations
Bazaar can work with files on your computer
Launchpad has a Bazaar service you can use to host branches
Files are publically readable
You can control who can change the files by individual or teams
Don't have to worry about backing up source code
Create a project on launchpad to hold multiple branches: ihris-manage, i2ce, ihris-manage-cssc
Use the translation capabilities built into launchpad
bzr knows about launchpad – it's easy!

6. Launchpad & Bazaar: Teams
Launchpad uses teams to control who can modify code it stores under bazaar
Designate a team owner
Create a team tanzania-ihris-workshop
Everyone join the team
This will be our playground

7. Bazaar & Launchpad: branch
Create the iHRIS directory
sudo mkdir -p /var/lib/iHRIS
sudo chown -R `whoami`:`whoami` /var/lib/iHRIS
Download the ihris manage release code
mkdir -p /var/lib/iHRIS/lib/4.0.3
ln -sf /var/lib/iHRIS/lib/4.0.3 /var/lib/iHRIS/lib/4.0
cd /var/lib/iHRIS/lib/4.0.3
bzr branch lp:i2ce/4.0.3 I2CE
bzr branch lp:ihris-common/4.0.3 ihris-common
bzr branch lp:ihris-manage/4.0.3 ihris-manage
bzr branch lp:textlayout/4.0.3 textlayout

8. Bazaar & Launchpad: checkout
We just did bzr branch which makes a copy of the code hosted on launchpad
If we commit to the branches (i2ce, ihris-manage, etc.) changes are only local – they do not get pushed up to launchpad automatically
To put changes to code on launchpad can use:
bzr checkout: use instead of bzr branch
bzr push: if you used bzr branch this will move committed code to launchpad one time only
bzr bind: changes a bzr branch to a bzr checkout

9. Bazaar & Lunchpad: Activity
Acitivity determined by workshop participants to get familiar with launchpad
