James Westby (Canonical) is working on a service that imports the full history of Debian packages in bzr branches. That will be eventually used to simply the process of merging new versions from Debian. The branches for each package are available from https://code.launchpad.net/debian, or https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/debian/sid/libnokogiri-ruby/sid (for a specific package). It's still ungoing work, some revisions might be missing, and he also plans to rebase the branches when snapshot.debian.org will be available. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
