Ubuntu Server Development Summary - 19 May 2017

[David Britton]

Hello Ubuntu Server!

The purpose of this weekly email is to make sure our community can follow
development with toes dipped in before & between jumping headlong into helping
shape Ubuntu Server.

= Ubuntu Server Packages =

- Ubuntu Bug squashing day #4 was this week, thanks to all who pitched
  in. :)

= git-ubuntu subcommand =

For those unfamiliar with the new Ubuntu git merge workflow in
ubuntu-server packages, the high level process can be seen here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/Merging/GitWorkflow

Install it with:

    sudo snap install --classic git-ubuntu

There are not too many changes to the released git-ubuntu command this
past week, beyond cleanups. We are staging some larger changes for empty
directory support (a git issue generally) and to standardize our
namespaces in the tooling.
