Some tips to use the Launchpad backend

Authentication

Launchpad require us to use a credential file, as soon as Bicho is executed the default browser will be launched in order to confirm via Launchpad web site that the application is allowed to use our account.

As soon as you see the Launchpad web site you'll be asked about the expiration date of your application.

"Allow tahine to access my Launchpad account: "

I personally use the longer option in order to use that credential for our Bitergia servers

"Until I disable it"

The next page should say something like:

"Almost finished ...

The debian computer called tahine now has access to your Launchpad account. Within a few seconds,
 you should be able to start using its Launchpad integration features. "

At this point a file called .cache/bicho/launchpad-credential has been created. If you want to execute bicho from a machine without web browser, just copy this file and execute Bicho. It will be authenticated.

luis@tahine:~$ cat .cache/bicho/launchpad-credential 
[1]
consumer_key = System-wide: debian (tahine)
consumer_secret = 
access_token = ****
access_secret = *****
