pooliethe main thing with it now is to schedule a lp squad to actually do it21:15
pooliethe bzr team will help but i think (as does francis) it's going to have enough ongoing work it's better done in house by lp21:15
pooliewe're hopeful it will be the next feature scheduled and therefore be live by uds-o21:15

barrynot much of a data point, but i don't remember any udd-specific issues21:30
jelmerbarry: I guess that means there isn't a particular reason not to use UDD for SRU's at least then; I'll give it a shot next time one comes up.21:31
slangasekI was surprised to see a UDD merge request the other week for -proposed21:31

slangaseksurprised because it worked, actually :)21:31
barryslangasek: yay! :)21:31
barrynot strictly udd, but: i want to give a shout out to jam.  python finally switched to mercurial, and there have been a huge number of messages on python-dev about it.  jam's messages always have a very high signal to noise ratio, and i really appreciate his expert involvement21:31
slangasekbarry: how is this supposed to work, in general?  does pushing to a new -proposed branch work yet?21:32

barryslangasek: sadly it was a while ago and i don't remember exactly what i did21:33
slangasekok; just wondering if the one that worked worked only because there'd been a previous SRU for that package, so the branch was pre-populated21:34
barryif/when folks do sru via udd, please do update the wiki with your experience21:34
barryoh, which reminds me: the udd guide was integrated with the ubuntu packaging guide, so technically the wiki is out of date.  i will take an action item to see if dholbach has published it on the web somewhere and update the wiki documentation to point to the upg as the canonical information21:35
barry[ACTION] barry to check with dholbach about publishing of upg with udd docs, and update the udd wiki pages21:36
MootBotACTION received:  barry to check with dholbach about publishing of upg with udd docs, and update the udd wiki pages21:36
barrythere was a little impedance mismatch there, but it was mostly a smooth integration, and we can clean things up as we go21:36
