You might want to look into "split mode" From "bzr help builddeb": --split Automatically create an .orig.tar.gz from a full source branch. Also see: http://jameswestby.net/bzr/builddeb/user_manual/split.html Building in split mode automatically separates the debian dir out into a diff.gz and exports the upstream source into an .orig.tar.gz Sounds like this might be what you're looking for... - Andrew SB -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu

Grass is available in the repositories. 6.2.3-2.1 is in Jaunty, and 6.4.0~rc5-1 is in Karmic, the upcoming release. sudo apt-get install grass If you wish to compile it from source still, this page might be of interest: http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/Installation_Guide#Compiling_GRASS_from_source_on_Debian - Andrew -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu

It seems like there has been some progress here, but since you all rock I know you can do even better. ;-) Three random bug pages: 2. I've always thought that it would be nice if your profile page (don't know what your terminology is, but I mean e.g https://launchpad.net/~andrewsomething) was more of a dash-board when logged in. The current view would be your public face, but when logged in it would present you with information directly relevant to you: most recent comments on subscribed bug, recent commits, display assigned bugs in a todo list fashion, ect... I know where I live and what my email address / irc nick / jabber nick / OpenPGP key are. I know what languages I speak and what teams I belong to. Currently the profile page isn't useful at all for its owner. 3.

Forwarding to ubuntu-motu. I haven't heard much from other Ubuntu devs on these recent threads.
