[Bug 907888] Re: [needs-packaging] dirspec

[Rodney Dawes]

Iain, I would like to push it to Debian in the future, but I am not used
to that process, and I think for now just having it in Ubuntu is fine.
The new ubuntuone-dev-tools package requires this, and is blocking on
this package getting in. We will also be moving more of the Ubuntu One
code to this as soon as we can, after seeking an MIR for dirspec, and
approval to get it on the CD.

Having it in Debian as well would be great, but I think it would be too
disruptive to our (Ubuntu One team's) release process at the moment, to
have to get new versions into Debian first. I'm happy to maintain it in
Debian, but I'm not a DD yet, and I think it will take a bit of work for
me to get there. And the rest of the U1 hackers who will be doing more
packaging this cycle, are mostly still lacking in experience doing
packaging on just Ubuntu. So, I'd rather avoid disrupting the process of
building that experience by throwing a whole other process into the mix,
while we try to smooth out our release process.
