Status of documentation

[Barry Warsaw]

A couple of quick notes on UDD documentation.

At UDS-O, we agreed that the current wiki documentation should be deleted,
with pointers added to Daniel's Ubuntu Packaging Guide.  Even though the
latter is currently only available via a temporary link, it's better not to
have multiple versions of the UDD documentation floating around.

This is now done.  When Daniel gets a permanent URL for the docs, I will of
course update the links.  Here's the current URL:

http://people.canonical.com/~dholbach/packaging-guide/html/knowledge-base.html

This also means that if you want to make changes to the docs, you should
branch the UPG's trunk and do a merge proposal.  The trunk is at

lp:ubuntu-packaging-guide

I just submitted a merge proposal for the one small bit of information that I
found in the wiki, but not in the reST docs:

One other thing we talked about at UDS was adding a set of mitigation
strategies for manually dealing with package importer failures.  I know many
of you have such workarounds (in your bash history most likely :), so please
send them to me with an explanation of what problem they solve, and I'll add
them to do the documentation.

Any other suggestions for improving, reorganizing, or expanding on the
UDD bits of the packaging guide documentation are welcome!

Cheers,
-Barry
