handsome_feng - UbuntuKylin application (interview meeting)

[Eric Desrochers]

Hello Handsome_feng,

1. You uploaded a package in the current active development release, the
package is marked as 'Valid candidate' but you don't see it in the release
pocket yet.
What you would do and where would you go to investigate that particular
situation ?

2. What's a seed ? Can you think of a reason to modify one ?

Thanks,
Eric
