Next, I spent the rest of my day
preparing/building/testing/committing/uploading qemu-kvm
(0.13.0+noroms-0ubuntu15) natty.  My previous two uploads of qemu-kvm
to Natty failed because qemu-linaro is now building some binary
packages that qemu-kvm previously built.  qemu-kvm had not yet been
updated to prune those parts of the build out.  It took quite a while
to work over the build back to a functional state.


Note: I had to work my patch pilot day today from the customer lounge
at the VW dealership (getting some service done on wife's car).
Bazaar branches/checkouts require a LOT of bandwidth; something that I
don't notice so much working from home where I have sufficient
bandwidth, but on a low bandwidth connection, UDD is a PITA.  apt-get
source is much nicer.  Just saying...
