I don't know if this is a documentation shortfall or it's really that much more complicated, but documenting/updating so this works easily with watch files would be a big win. the bzr-builddeb in natty can use the watch file. If you have a watch file it will use the watch file to download the upstream release. The --version argument is also optional if you have a watch file; it will default to the latest upstream version.

Scott K In fairness, it turned out the watch file didn't work because I guess sourceforge changed their file layout again, but it generally does, so the point still stands.

I'll do that. The wiki is semi-obsolete. As soon as the new Ubuntu packaging guide gets a URL, I'll be removing the wiki pages and pointing to it (which contains the latest content, and which I'll also update). BTW, watch file support rocks! -Barry signature.asc Description: PGP signature -- ubuntu-distributed-devel mailing list ubuntu-distributed-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-distributed-devel
