If you upload a release-specific version, you should add a suffix to the
33
package version, e.g. ``bzr.1.3-1~bazaar1~dapper1``.

package version, e.g. ``1.3-1~bazaar1~dapper1``.
35
43
Dapper uses the ``python-support`` framework and later distributions use
36
44
``python-central``. This has little effect on everyday packaging but does
37
45
mean that some of the control files are quite different.
39
Every package is first uploaded into the beta ppa. For final release
40
versions it is also copied to the main PPA.
47
Beta releases of bzr and plugins are uploaded into the beta PPA.
49
Final release versions are first uploaded into the proposed PPA, which
50
serves as a staging area to allow for new packages to be tested, and also
51
so that a complete set of Bazaar core and plugin updated versions can be
52
prepared together, when negotiating an API version transition.
54
Once ready, packages can be copied from the proposed PPA to the main PPA
55
using the lp-promote-ppa script found within the hydrazine project. This
56
procedure reduces the risk of broken packages or dependencies between
57
packages in the main PPA from which many people get bzr updates.
42
59
The packaging information is kept in branches of bzr on Launchpad, named
46
63
<lp:~bzr/ubuntu/hardy/bzr/bzr-ppa>. These branches are intended to be used
47
64
with the ``bzr-builddeb`` plugin.
49
**You should almost always upload to the beta ppa first** and then either
50
upload again or copy the packages into the release ppa. That reduces the
51
risk of breaking the main archive from which people get bzr updates.
66
The page <http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/PpaPackagingBranches> is a
67
reference to where the PPA packaging branches for each of the source
68
packages in the ``~bzr`` PPAs may be found.

The ``rmadison bzr`` command will gives you an up-to-date summary
89
of which bzr releases are current in each Ubuntu release.

that own these PPAs (``~bzr``, ``~bzr-beta-ppa``).

On reasonably recent versions of Ubuntu you no longer need special dput
81
100
configuration, because you can just say ::
83
dput ppa:bzr/proposed <source.changes
102
dput ppa:bzr/proposed source.changes
86
105
However, you may still want to add these lines to ``~/.dput.cf`` prevent
91
110
default_host_main = notspecified
93
* Configure ``bzr-builddeb`` to sign the package, which is required for
94
Launchpad to build it. Put this in ``~/.bazaar/builddeb.conf`` ::
97
builder = dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
98
source-builder= dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -S -sa

* You need a Ubuntu (or probably Debian) machine, and ::

Please update this document if you encounter unmet dependencies or find a
105

shorter way to express them.

108
depends on `bzrtools`_.
