[Bug 800768] [NEW] packaging guide should suggest to try debcheckout or look at Vcs-Bzr
Public bug reported:
We have some packages having debian/ only directory and not set to
lp:ubuntu/<package_name>. It's the case for most of ubuntu-desktop
package and some other packages where dx is upstreamed.
People contributing to ubuntu will follow
http://people.canonical.com/~dholbach/packaging-guide/html/udd-
intro.html#getting-the-source and so, propose the patch against the
wrong branch. See here an example:
https://code.launchpad.net/~amoog/ubuntu/oneiric/libqtbamf/lp-765915/+merge/65132
I discussed about launchpad automatically taking Vcs-Bzr in my last
patch pilot report: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-
devel/2011-June/033449.html However, it seems that for debian/ only
packaging branch, it's not suited to set it them.
Can then the packaging guide suggest to check debcheckout or something
else like Vcs-Bzr to check which branch is actually the packaging
branch?
