Fixing bugs in dedicated branches
If you create a Bazaar branch to fix a specific bug, and that branch is registered in Launchpad, you can link the bug report and the branch. This helps those people who are interested in the bug to follow the progress of the work to address it.
In branch listings, and on the branch overview page itself, Launchpad uses an icon to indicate a link between a bug report and a branch of code. Similarly, there's a yellow Bazaar icon in bug listings to show which reports are linked to a branch of code.
Let's take a look at an example: take the branch listing for the Drizzle project. As you can see, some branches have grey bug icons beside their name. Click on one of those the bug icons and Launchpad will take you to the bug report page.

From the other side of this relationship - i.e. Drizzle's bug listing pages - you'll see the yellow Bazaar logo next to bug reports that are linked to a branch. Clicking on the Bazaar icon takes you to the relevant branch.
Each link between a bug and branch has its own status and whiteboard. The status indicates the progress of the fix and you can use the whiteboard for more detailed information.
