Yes, and Launchpad will do this for you automatically when you push a new ~*/ubuntu/*/subversion/* branch without being told to. > Do I have to reconfigure the karmic branch to sit atop the new lucid > branch? If so, how? The thing to always remember about stacking is that it is *just* a bandwidth/storage optimization. As such, it's not critical, and can always be adjusted later. Reconfiguring the karmic branch to stack on the lucid branch would save a bit of network I/O when pushing to the karmic branch, but that's all. The command to do so is: bzr reconfigure --stacked-on=bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~svn/ubuntu/lucid/subversion/ppa lp:~svn/ubuntu/karmic/subversion/ppa (The lp: syntax doesn't work in --option= arguments at the moment) Max.
