Say “goodbye” to Launchpad Bazaar

Bazaar and Git are both version controlling systems for source code and for projects. However, Git became more popular than Canonical’s Bazaar, and Launchpad was hosting the free Bazaar code hosting platform, just like how GitHub, GitLab, and their likes host code using Git, for open-source projects. The back-end in the Launchpad’s code hosting functionality is Bazaar, and the front-end is web-based.

Bazaar was at its peak a decade ago, but Git has dethroned it to become more popular across software projects. As a result, Launchpad is in the process of shutting down the Bazaar code hosting service, as projects like Breezy attempted to relive Bazaar. This has been officially announced as per this Ubuntu Discourse forum post.

The service is not going to shut down immediately due to the time that migrations to Git from Bazaar will take. As a result, they have implemented the blackout in two phases:

  • Phase 1 – Brownout: Loggerhead, which is the front end web interface for the Bazaar code hosting service on Launchpad, will be shut down very soon at an undisclosed date. Part of the reason is that because, according to them, the Loggerhead traffic logs showed “that there are hardly any more requests from legit users, but almost the entire traffic comes from scrapers and other abusers.” However, the ability to push, pull, and merge changes will not be affected at this stage.
  • Phase 2 – Blackout: The Bazaar code hosting service will be shut down fully on September 1st, 2025, so you’ll have to migrate your Bazaar projects to Git hosting services, such as GitHub, GitLab, and others before this date, since the full blackout means that you will never be able to recover your projects.

You’ll have to follow the instructions in this blog article here.

As for the documentation, you’ll have to manually import them from Launchpad to projects like DocFX (for .NET projects, our recommendation for API references), GitBook (our recommendation for general docs), or Read the Docs (suitable replacement).

Please migrate your Bazaar projects before September 1st, 2025!

Canonical is ‘Sunsetting’ Bazaar on Launchpad

To old-timers like me Launchpad, the Canonical-run development hub, is synonymous with Bazaar (bzr), the open-source distribution version control system (VCS) Canonical helped develop. Like GitHub, Launchpad lets anyone sign up and create a repo, then connect from the command-line to push code to it, handle merges, branch, fork, etc. Using ‘recipes’, code in bzr repos can be turned into DEBs, PPAs and Snaps. But the future of Bzr is at crossroads. Canonical plans to ‘sunset’ Bazaar from Launchpad this year: It’s not 100% clear if Canonical will stop relying on Bazaar internally for Ubuntu’s development (given how interconnected the :sys_more_orange:

“Sights set on Somaliland: The threat of a total US–UK–Israeli takeover”

“As Tel Aviv and Washington quietly court Somaliland as a destination for Gaza’s displaced, this British-controlled enclave on the #RedSea emerges as both a strategic #imperial #launchpad & potential open-air prison for Palestinians – armed, trained, & surveilled by London”

BassBoom is now easier to install!

We have made some of the biggest changes in BassBoom. This time, it’s about packaging the software for easier installation. Starting from BassBoom 0.1.12 and 0.2.7, we are providing the following package installers for different systems:

  • Windows Installer for Windows systems
  • Launchpad PPA for Ubuntu
  • PKGBUILD for Arch Linux using the AUR

As we’ve promised, we’ve made installation of the BassBoom application easier than never before by shipping different types of installers apart from the regular distribution method that utilizes the packaged ZIP file for the application itself.

The documentation will be updated soon to provide instructions on how to install BassBoom using one of the above packaging methods that we’ve recently introduced. This will make your experience regarding installation of BassBoom smoother than before and save your time extracting the archive and remembering the path to the executable file.

If you’ve used the Windows Installer to install BassBoom, you’ll be greeted with this screen:

Just follow the instructions on the screen, and you’re done!

As for the Launchpad PPA, we’re uploading the packages that correspond to the API version of BassBoom releases to the archive. To install BassBoom, use the following commands:

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eofla/bassboom$ sudo apt update$ sudo apt install bassboom

Then, follow the instructions on the screen to select a version series to install, currently being:

  • bassboom-1: Installs BassBoom v0.1.x series
  • bassboom-2: Installs BassBoom v0.2.x series

As for the Arch Linux distribution, use your AUR helper to install one of the following packages, depending on what series you want to install:

  • bassboom-1: Installs BassBoom v0.1.x series from the latest release tag
  • bassboom-1-git: Installs BassBoom v0.1.x series from the live servicing branch
  • bassboom-2: Installs BassBoom v0.2.x series from the latest release tag
  • bassboom-2-git: Installs BassBoom v0.2.x series from the live servicing branch
  • bassboom-3-git: Installs an upcoming version of BassBoom from the live servicing branch

You can download BassBoom 0.1.13 and 0.2.8 here:

I neither like #Launchpad and their rather unconventional way to display branches and put so much less focus on code and so much on branch names nor their focus on breezy instead of git nor cgit as browsing GitHub/GitLab/Gitea/you name it is way more pleasant and faster to find things. Pressing T to find a file or doing a quick search on the web make things so much faster.

I like that #Debian links to their developer portal with a link to Salsa from packages.debian.org, so that you can actually find stuff. On #Ubuntu when you search something on packages.ubuntu.com and try to find the source you are usually a bit out of luck. A way I found is to try to file a bug, then click on #Launchpad on the "Source tab" and then "Browse source" and then you land in their cgit. :NotLikeThis: :NotLikeThis: :NotLikeThis:
