Nice try!  I'm not logging anything until 1.16 is in PPA.  All this with
1.15 is just warm up.  :)

I'm not even saying there is any hole.  I don't expect perfect
synchronicity.  Just be able to find old stuff.

Ok.  That's a little scary.  Have the deps changed out from under us?  I'd
hope not for a point-release changeset.  I begin to see why you're
concerned.  As I say, 1.15.x is just a warm-up exercise so I am just
learning and not forming any strong opinions.

Ok.  I deserved that.  That is the funniest thing I have "heard" all week.
:)

Lesson learned!

    $bzr tags | grep '1.15'
    bzr-1.15             4360.4.2
    bzr-1.15.1           4360.7.2
    bzr-1.15rc1          4360.3.1

[  Random thought: I think I got out of the habit of looking for tags
becasue at one point (now fixed) qbzr did not display (or maybe it was
search?) for tags.  I've been forcing myself to live in GUI's a lot lately
so that I undertsand what my team can expect.  ]

Right.  Checked both.

I did not know that.  Thanks for the info.  Since synaptic always reports
"latest" available and has a "force version" option, I assumed (mistake!)
that the PPA's held multiple releases.  I guess those options exist in
synaptic to resolve packages which are offered by multiple PPA's.  Thanks
for clearing that up for me.  I had no idea.
