Yep, and I'd like to phase those out. My own preference would be to target at least Natty for now because I think this was the first cycle where serious development could be done with UDD. Perhaps once 12.04 is out, we should target the LTS and relegate alternatives to an "older distroseries" section. -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

What releases of Ubuntu is the packaging guide aimed at? There are some things in the documentation that are available in reasonably new versions (Maverick, Natty) but the packaging guide still describes alternatives for older releases.
