push commits to my branch in launchpad

Question

I have launchpad repo which I'm pushing commits, and my friend wants to push a patch file into it but when he tried he got this error.

$ bzr push :parent
bzr: ERROR: Cannot lock LockDir(chroot-90567632:///~catchsudheera/maria/pcre_regex_enhance/.bzr/branch/lock): Transport operation not possible: readonly transport

How would I give him the required permissions? thank you very much.

PS : bzr info results:

sudheera@Dr-HOUSE-PC:~/Gsoc/mariadb/repo5/maria$ bzr info
Standalone tree (format: 2a)

Answer 1

Branches starting with address lp:~catchsudheera are your private branches on Launchpad. It is not common to let other users push to these branches.

Ask your friend to push to his own Launchpad account, for example lp:~hisusername/maria/pcre_regex_enhance. After that, he can visit the page of his branch on Launchpad, https://code.launchpad.net/~hisusername/maria/pcre_regex_enhance, and use the Propose for merging link to propose the branch for merging into yours. You can then merge his branch in your workspace and push it to your own branch.
