The release schedule for Natty is available here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyReleaseSchedule The DebianImportFreeze was as early as December 30th. That means they have already stopped the automatic package import from Debian. However, it is still possible by doing an explicit sync request as we did last year. We can do this until February 24th at the FeatureFreeze. After that it will require a "freeze exception" from the Ubuntu release team. It would be good if the new releases could be made in good time before the FeatureFreeze, at least a few days before. > 1.0 will come later in sync with the book and hopefully quite soon. The release of DOLFIN 1.0 will require a name change in the package, that is, libdolfin0 should be renamed to libdolfin1 or libdolfin1.0. Changing the name of a package forces it to enter the Debian NEW queue and it can take time before it enters Debian (days, weeks or even months). It will also require a Debian Developer to sponsor the upload since I am only a Debian Maintainer and therefore unable to upload packages to NEW. This can also take time so if the goal is to get DOLFIN 1.0 into Natty, then it should be released as soon as possible.
