git repository seems not exists but it is.

[Matteo Nastasi (mop)]

I'm trying to renaming this recipe:
https://code.launchpad.net/~remmina-ppa-team/+recipe/remmina-ppa-daily/+edit
in remmina-next-daily but when I try to save an error is raised:
"lp:~remmina-ppa-team/remmina-ppa/+git/Remmina-debian is not a branch on Launchpad."
above the recipe textarea.
But it already exists.

Hi,

Same for me, with my first recipe :

# git-build-recipe format 0.4 deb-version {debupstream}+git{time}
lp:make-deb-distro master
merge packaging lp:~gdoffe/+git/make-deb-distro.packaging xenial

Save raise this error :
lp:~gdoffe/+git/make-deb-distro.packaging is not a branch on Launchpad.

I have some news and workaround:
  the problem happens becouse the shortcut lp:<projectname> still point to the bzr default repository.
To avoid this problem you can use the long form of the git repository (annoingly because for each change you must reuse it instead of the shortcut form).

Thank you Matteo,

But if I turn :
lp:~gdoffe/+git/make-deb-distro.packaging
into :
https://code.launchpad.net/~gdoffe/+git/make-deb-distro.packaging

I still get the error with the new path (which is valid if i paste it in my web browser)

Could you provide your example please ?

[Matteo Nastasi (mop) (nastasi)]

the problem is the other package (the error message is an indirect error) you must rewrite the other repository address, the "lp:<project_name>".

I got both repo, one bzr and one git, I should do something wrong earlier.
Solved now, thx for help Matteo.
