He CC'd the mailing list, and directly mailed you. You should have
gotten the email.

Yeah. Thank James Blackwell for that. He did a great job cleaning it up.
 baz => bzr was a migration, and there are still things to be done.

I would guess so. I haven't used it myself.

BE CAREFUL...

You can dist-upgrade into breezy. By editing /etc/apt/sources.list and
changing the string 'breezy' to 'dapper'

Then it is 'sudo apt-get update', and 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade'.

I just tried this, and I seriously hosed my setup. I don't know if I
just picked a bad day, but I had lots of conflicts. (stuff like
/usr/bin/nvidia-settings being provided by both 'nvidia-settings' and
'nvidia-glx'.

I ended up using 'dpkg -r' for stuff that conflicted, but I had to run
'apt-get -f install' far more often than I would have liked. I had
similar problems going from hoary => breezy before the official release.
(They didn't support nvidia yet, and I run a dual monitor setup, which
the nv driver doesn't support.)

I have a friend who is running dapper flight-3 with no problems, but
that was a fresh install.

While I think with released versions they have ironed out all of the
'apt-get dist-upgrade' stuff, and it is a wonderful tool, I have gotten
bit by it twice now.

Note: I am expecting that with an iso in hand, I can fix things, but you
might want to get at least a live CD before you dist-upgrade into an
unstable repository.
