Merge-o-Matic not updating

[Jordan Mantha]

Hi all,

I just wanted to let everybody know that currently the merge
information at http://merges.ubuntu.com is not being updated
indefinitely (see last paragraph or so for more info). As an
alternative you can merge by hand or using the newer bzr tools:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment/Documentation/Merging

To find what packages are likely to need a merge you can use the
"Outdated in Lucid, and Lucid has local changes" section of the lists
at:

http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/multidistrotools/

The MoM problems are apparently due to some bugs with respect to the
new Debian source formats. MoM also fails when it encounters a
problematic package rather than skipping and moving on. If you have a
desire to help fix those problems, MoM's source code can be obtained
via:

bzr branch lp:merge-o-matic

I believe any Ubuntu Core Developer can commit to this branch and
http://merges.ubuntu.com will be updated.
