 * FTBFS - Fails To Build From Source

Anchor(bugtask) Bugtask: A bug tracked in Launchpad can appear in different projects and releases of a project, enabling different teams to work together on solving that bug. We call each appearance of a bug in each different context a bugtask. A bugtask has associated with it an assignee, an importance and a status. It can be targeted to a project or distribution milestone.

Anchor(display-name) Display name: Projects, teams and individuals in Launchpad are usually referred to by their display name. This is distinct from the Name, which is mostly used in URLs. Example: Mark Shuttleworth's display name is Mark Shuttleworth, whereas his Launchpad name is sabdfl.

Anchor(ftbs)

FTBS: a source package failed to build.

Anchor(karma) Karma: Karma is a score that gives a rough idea of a person's current level of work in Launchpad. See our guide to [:YourAccount/Karma:karma] for more.

Anchor(name-project) Name (project): This is the unique short name that Launchpad uses to identify a project. It is used in URLs and when registering a bug against a project. Example: blueprint in https://launchpad.net/blueprint for Launchpad's Blueprint Tracker.

Anchor(project-group) Project group: Project groups allow you to gather several Launchpad projects together. Each project within a group inherits the group's preferences regarding bug tracking, translation and security policy. An example project group is Mozilla, with Firefox and Thunderbird as projects within the group.

Anchor(series) Series: Series are major lines of development that usually result in a release. For example: Firefox 3 and Firefox 2. In Launchpad, they can have independent translations, bug reports, code and more.
