Hi,

Please sync bzr-builddeb from experimental, as it has loads of
fixes we want for Intrepid.

Thanks,

James


bzr-builddeb (2.0.1) experimental; urgency=low

  * Fix retrieval of the upstream source from a watch file of the archive.
    - It would download to the specified tarball directory, but then
      report it as stored in the compatibility directory. (bug #262618)
  * Don't move the result if the source and destination are the same location.
    (bug #262621)
  * Use --result-dir rather than --result for concistency with the other
    options and the configuration key. --result is still accepted, but
    deprecated. (bug #263643)
  * Add a revisionspec that allows you to specify a revision by the
    package version number, e.g. -r package:0.1-1.
    https://blueprints.launchpad.net/bzr-builddeb/+spec/package-revisionspec
  * Use the upstream part of the version number when repacking the tarball.
    (bug #263373)
  * Merge the upstream tags in to the packaging ones after importing a new
    upstream. (bug #263373)
  * Strip the changelog message as debcommit does. Thanks to Colin Watson.
    (bug #265045)
  * "Fix" fetching between two locked branches which share a repository.
    (bug #264705)
  * Handle remote files in repack check that checksums match when target
    exists. (bug #263371)
  * Fix the README to mention bzrtools is required.
  * Depend on at least 0.1.11 of python-debian for strict=False support.
  * Check that versions are in the ancestry of the current branch.
    (bug #264701)
  * Fix locking problems with merge_upstream in shared repository.
  * Handle invalid version numbers in the changelog by ignoring them.
    (bug #248447)
  * During merge-upstream correctly check whether the new upstream is
    already imported. (bug #272118)

=====
Freeze exception request:


Binary package hint: bzr-builddeb

Hi,

I'd like permission to upload bzr-builddeb 2.0.1 (via Debian).

This is a release specifically for Intrepid. It mainly fixes bugs, but there is one
new feature that I considered essential, hence my request for a freeze exception.

You can see the list of bugs fixed at

  https://edge.launchpad.net/bzr-builddeb/+milestone/2.0.1

The new feature is to provide a "package:" revisionspec, which allows you to
more easily do things like diff two versions of a package.

The new feature comes in a 69 line file, plus tests. I'm fairly confident
that it won't destabilise things.

Thanks,

James
