Just a note that

  https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+upstreamreport

has live data to help with this.

"Missing corresponding project" means that a package-product link needs
to be created (and sometimes a product too). The lack of a Bazaar icon
means there is no default branch.

Note that I went over this list a few weeks back registered a bunch of
imports, and created the LP question to have them set as the development
focus. That's still not done, and that's why I keep bringing it up,
because you will often be duplicating effort if you look in to them.

This says nothing about how up-to-date all that information is though. A
(preferably semi-automatic) check that everything is up-to-date would be
good.


This does raise other questions in my mind. Are we excluding some
packages before we really start? Is implementing bzr-monotone going to
be something that falls under the hottest100 project? There are also a
few cases where we have two packages for one upstream repo, and some
where there isn't really an upstream (aside from things like
update-manager, linux-restricted-modules for instance). What will be
done about the KDE packages, their upstream is one mega-repo.


Thanks,
