Bazaar Sync

A light python script and WSGI server application for synchronizing Github projects (in Git) to Launchpad (in Bazaar).

Setup

Once you've cloned this repository, do the following:

sudo apt install python-pip         # Install python and pip
pip install -r requirements.txt     # Install python dependencies
cp example-settings.py settings.py  # Create your settings file

Now customise settings.py with an auth-token, perhaps generated with uuidgen:

auth_token = '{a-long-random-string}'

You then need to make sure the user who will be running this project has read access to any Github and write access to any Launchpad projects which you want to synchronise.

To make sure the user is setup with the correct configs and permissions to smoothly access Github and Launchpad without any user input, try doing the following manually before continuing:

• git clone a repository which you will want to sync
• bzr branch a repository which you will want to sync
• bzr push :parent from the branched repository, to make sure you can update repositories properly

Usage

You can run the simple WSGI server:

$ python wsgi.py
Serving on port 9052...

And then trigger the script to sync github projects to launchpad by visiting:

http://0.0.0.0:9052/?token={auth-token}&git_url={git-ssh-url}&bzr_url={bzr-host-url}

This will attempt to synchronise {git_user} (e.g. git@github.com/username/repository) to {bzr_url}(e.g. lp:your-project).

NB: The user that runs the server must have permission to access both the github and launchpad repositories.

Serving with gunicorn

Gunicorn is a fully-fledged HTTP server. For any serious use, you probably want to run this service using gunicorn or a similar server.

NB: For non-local usage you should serve the app over HTTPS by providing the --keyfile and --certfile options to gunicorn - this will keep your {auth-token} secure.

gunicorn --keyfile {path-to-keyfile} --certfile {path-to-certfile} -b 0.0.0.0:{port} wsgi:application
