Launchpad news, June 2018

Here’s a brief changelog for this month.

Bugs

• Handle Bugzilla.time() changes in Bugzilla 5.1.1 (#1774838)
• Cope with the comment author field being renamed to creator in recent Bugzilla versions (#1774838)

Build farm

• Set the hostname and FQDN of LXD containers to match the host system, though with an IP address pointing to the container (#1747015)
• If the extra build arguments include fast_cleanup: True, then skip the final cleanup steps of the build; this can be used when building in a VM that is guaranteed to be torn down after the build
• Allow checking out a git tag rather than a branch (#1687078, forum post)
• Add a local unauthenticated proxy on port 8222, which proxies through to the remote authenticated proxy; this should allow running a wider range of network clients, since some of them apparently don’t support authenticated proxies very well (#1690834, #1753340, forum post)
• Run tar with correct working directory when building source tarballs for snaps

Code

• Port the loggerhead (Bazaar code browser) integration to gunicorn, allowing it to be used as an internal API as well
• Optimise BuildableDistroSeries.findSeries (#1778732)
• Proxy loggerhead branch diffs through the webapp, allowing AJAX MP revision diffs to work for private branches (#904070)

Infrastructure

• Convert most code to use explicit proxy configuration settings rather than picking up a proxy from the environment, making the effective production settings easier to understand

Registry

• Fix crash while adding an ssh key with unknown type (#1777507)

Miscellaneous

• Improve documentation of what deactivating an account does (#993153)
