lucid-updates (maybe, see below)

maverick-updates (maybe, see below)



As I see it, what we now need to do is:

1. Debian packaging of 2.2.1. I'm neither DD or DM, it probably makes
most sense for someone who is to do this bit. (Because updating the
packaging to a new minor version is probably so trivial that it's just
as easy to do as to review someone else's doing of it)

2. It's too late to sync this to Maverick, so no release-pocket Ubuntu
update this time around.

3. I'm happy to sort out PPA uploads of 2.2.1 to bzr/proposed for
maverick,lucid,karmic,jaunty,hardy once the Debian packaging branch has
been updated (to avoid needless parallel merging of the new upstream in
the packaging branches).

4. I'm also happy to sort out PPA uploads of 2.3b1 to bzr-beta-ppa/ppa.

5. Individually for each of karmic, lucid, maverick, consider whether to
negotiate the Ubuntu SRU process. On the Bazaar side, there seems to be
some sort of expectation that every series point release goes to
-updates. However, that's not really the normal criteria for an Ubuntu
SRU, per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#When . We should
discuss this, and resolve this difference of expectations - perhaps by
applying for a SRU MicroReleaseException for bzr:
