Read the blog- Introducing Webhooks for Package Uploads in PPAs– 01 Dec 2025
We have extended our webhooks capabilities to be able to trigger webhooks on successful and unsuccessful package uploads to Personal Package Archives (PPAs). When a new source package is uploaded to one of your PPAs, the system can now send an instant webhook notification to an endpoint you control. This will make it easier to […] - Phasing out Bazaar code hosting– 06 Jun 2025
What is Bazaar code hosting? Bazaar is a distributed revision control system, originally developed by Canonical. It provides similar functionality compared to the now dominant Git. Bazaar code hosting is an offering from Launchpad to both provide a Bazaar backend for hosting code, but also a web frontend for browsing the code. The frontend is […] - Introducing Launchpad Bug Templates– 03 Dec 2024
The new feature bug templates in Launchpad aims to streamline the bug reporting process, making it more efficient for both users and project maintainers.

If you go into launchpad.net, you’ll notice it looks quite different from what it has looked like for the past 10 years – it has been updated! The goal was to modernize it while […] - Launchpad-linked federated Matrix accounts– 22 Jan 2024
Users can now add their Matrix accounts to their profile in Launchpad, as requested by Canonical’s Community team. We also took the chance to slightly rework the frontend and how we display social accounts in the user profiles. Instead of having different sections in the profile for each social account , all social accounts are […] - Self-service riscv64 builds– 22 Nov 2023
Launchpad has supported building for riscv64 for a while, since it was a requirement to get Ubuntu’s riscv64 port going. We don’t actually have riscv64 hardware in our datacentre, since we’d need server-class hardware with the hypervisor extension and that’s still in its infancy; instead, we do full-system emulation of riscv64 on beefy amd64 hardware […]
