[Bug 1614053] Re: Getting source code following http://packaging.ubuntu.com fails with bzr: ERROR: Not a branch

[Vincent Ladeuil]

Short answer: neither the xenial nor the yaketti branches where created
on launchpad so the importer can't keep them up to date.

If you're the package maintainer, you're free to create those branches
though

** Package changed: bzr (Ubuntu) => udd

Title:
  Getting source code following http://packaging.ubuntu.com fails with
  bzr: ERROR: Not a branch

Status in Ubuntu Distributed Development:
  New

Bug description:
  # Context

  Wishing to contribute to Ubuntu package.

  # Operations done

  Followed instructions in http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/
  especially http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/getting-set-up.html

  But at http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/udd-intro.html problems start:

  bzr branch ubuntu:kdetoys

  bzr: ERROR: Not a branch:
  "bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/ubuntu/kdetoys/".

  Also http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/udd-getting-the-
  source.html#branching

  bzr init-repo tomboy

  Shared repository with trees (format: 2a)
  Location:
    shared repository: tomboy

  cd tomboy

  bzr branch ubuntu:tomboy tomboy.dev

  bzr: ERROR: Not a branch:
  "bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/ubuntu/tomboy/".

  # Additional information

  This might be specific to Xenial as observed on
  http://askubuntu.com/a/624762/68124

  There 
  https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hello

  Indeed there is no xenial branch on any of these
  https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+all-branches
  https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+all-branches
  https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdetoys/+all-branches

  They have a Wily branch, though, but no Yaketty.

  
  # Questions

  (1) Does is mean that UDD is somehow lagging for recent releases?

  (2) Practically, I ended up doing apt-get source (or even wget
  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lightdm/$PKGVERSION ). Is
  there a way to contribute to Xenial and/or latest development packages
  using bzr?

  Thank you for your attention.
