Gentle reminder: Please check Vcs fields in a source package when working on it.
Hey folks, I had to spend a small amount of time merging changes from the archive into a package's bzr branch after I realized I uploaded a new revision of the packages from a bzr branch with sed changes not included. This is just a reminder to check to see if a package has a Vcs field on it when working on a package outside your own team. So far as I know, all bzr branches for package maintenance outside of the UDD namespace are writable if you are in ubuntu-core-dev. I know of at least the desktop team and the audio team are, and likely others. Its not usually a problem fetching and merging previously overwritten changes, but it does mean more time is otherwise spent making sure nothing is lost. Thanks for your time and consideration.

Can we get > one done using that version? The recent archive rebuilds were IIRC done by Matthias Klose. But I guess you as a Canonical employee and core-dev might have the needed permissions too (or can get them) to trigger an archive rebuild in a PPA too. I don't know how exactly this works but as far as I know LP has some build-in support for them so you don't need to upload each source package. You might want to ask #launchpad or Matthias as he did some archive rebuilds already for advice how to exactly set it up. (And let William Grant know about it so he can set up a FTBFS page to track the build failures.)
