This seems to have been the topic that has generated the most
interest. It seems to be a bit of an overkill to have a vUDS session
on it, especially if we don't have the right people in the room. So
maybe we can try to hammer out the requirements here?

Currently you need shell access to Jubany in order to run the command.
[0] I know that this request has come up in the past, but my Google-fu
is failing me now. Adding the (seemingly dormant) UDD list to the
conversation in hopes of catching the right person.

If you're used to working with the UDD tools, you could always do
something like create a temporary branch to work in:

pull-lp-source landscape-client
bzr init landscape-client
cd landscape-client
bzr import-dsc ../landscape-client_12.04.3-0ubuntu0.11.10.dsc

That will at least give you a branch you can work with. Though
obviously, it won't have full history nor can you use a merge request
with it. You'll still have to proved a debdiff in the end.

A lot of interesting stuff in there. Thanks for sharing the results.

It might be interesting to see the cross-tabs on this. For instance,
do casual developers and new developers feel more dissatisfaction with
the experience than core-devs and MOTUs?

Thanks,
