Cool! I didn't know about that. Forgive me for not digging through the docs, but I am curious about one thing. At the moment, if a Vcs-Bzr tag does exist and one is using UDD, is one ever told about this? My workflow right now is: First I check to make sure the package is in sync in UDD (anybody have a good one liner for this? I just look at the package overview right now which is not very efficient) mkdir ~/pkg/$package && cd ~/pkg/$package && bzr init-repo bzr && cd bzr bzr branch lp:ubuntu/series/$package series && cd series -- make changes -- bzr bd -S dput ppa:whatever file.dsc sbuild -A -d series-arch file.dsc If all of that works I debcommit, push, and propose merging.. but I'm wondering at what point I might have been reminded of the Vcs-Bzr tag so I can go look there. I'm always reminded of it by 'apt-get source'. I know I've missed the existence of a branch before by not noting this very fact. Ideally bzr branch ubuntu:something would do the check and remind me at that point if the branch is different. -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
