Provide a way to associate a release and a revision in bzr

[James Westby]

If I work with bzr and launchpad, dutifully recording --fixes for all my bug
reports I still have to go through and mark all of the bugs fixed when I make
a release.

Would it be possible for me to say "I'm making a release from this branch",
defaulting to the development focus, and have launchpad mark all of the
--fixes bugs from that branch as "Fix Released".

This would seem to be a natural follow-on from my request in bug 294447.

ADDENDUM
Robert Collins on 2009-05-08:
When a series has a branch, and a release is made, we should let users
select a revision on the branch (defaulting to the the current tip) to
match the release.

[Martin Albisetti (beuno)]

My guess is that we should be able to record which revision has the metadata, right?
Should be easy-ish?

[Jonathan Lange (jml)]

We already record that. The thing we lack is a good workflow for changing bug status based on these links.

Let's have a call next week to thrash out some stories / workflows / specs.

[Martin Albisetti (beuno)]

deal!

This is actually a registry issue.

[Curtis Hovey (sinzui)]

This is not a registry issue in so far as it does not know about the applications like bugs, code, questions, etc. All the registry can do is send a notification when a release is made. Bugs and other artefacts that are interested in the event must subscribe and take the proper actions.

This feature request can stay with the registry for now since the notification must start here, but the actual feature must be implemented in Launchpad bugs.
