[Steve Kowalik <stevenk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The proposal to merge lp:~stevenk/launchpad/db-add-derivedistroseries-api into lp:launchpad has been updated.

Description changed to:

This branch adds a new method to IDistroSeries: deriveDistroSeries().

This method is intended to be called via API scripts for both the distro use-case as well as the Linaro use-case to initialise a new distroseries (which may or may not exist), from an existing distroseries. It will create the new distroseries if it doesn't exist, under the specified distribution, unless it isn't specified, in which case it will use the current distroseries's distribution (.parent in the interface).

After it has verified everything, and created the distroseries if need be, it checks the details submitted via the InitialiseDistroSeries.check() method, and if that doesn't raise an InitislationError exception, an InitialiseDistroSeriesJob is created. The method doesn't return the job id, since there is no way for the user to check the status of the job.

I have written two seperate tests, one that calls the method directly and tests it, and a lighter doctest that checks via the API.

I have discussed this change with both Julian and Michael, and they agreed that it sounded good.

To test: bin/test -vvt test_derivedistroseries -t xx-derivedistroseries.txt
