## Spotlight: git-ubuntu version 0.6.2

As announced on the [ubuntu-server mailinglist][1], git-ubuntu version
0.6.2 is available in the candidate channel. This version comes with
many bug fixes and hope to promote this version to the stable channel in
the next week or two. The team is also well on their way to enabling
global import of source packages.
