pad.♥ short Launchpad URLs

pad.lv is a site-specific redirection service for Launchpad.net, so you can easily create short URLs to use in irc, mail, microblogging, or grafitti.

Patterns

http://pad.lv/1 or http://pad.lv/bug=1

Any bug, by number.

http://pad.lv/~mbp

A person.

http://pad.lv/p/bzr

A project.

http://pad.lv/fb/pad.lv or http://pad.lv/fb/u/bzr

File a bug against a project, or an Ubuntu source package.

http://pad.lv/q/1

A user-support question.

http://pad.lv/mps/bzr or http://pad.lv/mps/u/bzr

Active merge proposals in a project, or an Ubuntu source package.

http://pad.lv/u/bzr or http://pad.lv/d/bzr

A source package in Ubuntu or Debian respectively. (It must be the source package, not the binary name.)

http://pad.lv/ppa/james-w or http://pad.lv/ppa/james-w/polkit

A PPA (either the default or a specifically named one.)

http://pad.lv/bld/2321035

A package build job

http://pad.lv/files/ensemble or http://pad.lv/files/~mbp/+junk/repro-742217

Bazaar branch files in the trunk of a project, or any other branch.

http://pad.lv/OOPS-12345678

Details of a Launchpad internal error report. (Only accessible to Canonical Launchpad team members, and not always reliable because of OpenID glitches.)

Notes

Ubuntu branches must be identified by source package name, not binary package name: for instance the binary python2.7-doc comes from the source package python2.7 and at present Launchpad doesn't map this back when you file or search for bugs.
