Is there a practical way to leave the upstream codebase on libavg.de svn server (so we can keep the current workflow) and use launchpad just for packaging purposes? > * I see you added a man page to your packaging, probably at the prodding > of lintian :).

Indeed it was only a choice dictated by lintian warnings. I suppose that, at least for the games, it would be more practical to get rid of the manpages. > * As you make revisions to the package, I suggest following what I've > done here: [..] > --- Loop over 4 and 5 as many times as necessary > 4.

May I apply this procedure to python-libavg (the library all the games depend on) as well? > When you are ready to push to a ppa, append ~ppa# (1,2,3,4, etc.) to the > package version (but don't commit this to the source code repository). You mean to my branch of your bzr repo or to the upstream one? Sorry if it's a dumb question, my confusion comes from the ppa-versioned changelog entry that I found on your bzr repo. > When you are ready to push to the Ubuntu archive, create a release: > 1.
