Public bug reported: # Context
Wishing to contribute to Ubuntu package. # Operations done Followed instructions in http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/ especially http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/getting-set-up.html But at http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/udd-intro.html problems start: bzr branch ubuntu:kdetoys bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/ubuntu/kdetoys/". Also http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/udd-getting-the- source.html#branching bzr init-repo tomboy Shared repository with trees (format: 2a) Location: shared repository: tomboy cd tomboy bzr branch ubuntu:tomboy tomboy.dev bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/ubuntu/tomboy/". # Additional information This might be specific to Xenial as observed on http://askubuntu.com/a/624762/68124 There https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hello Indeed there is no xenial branch on any of these https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+all-branches https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomboy/+all-branches https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdetoys/+all-branches They have a Wily branch, though, but no Yaketty. # Questions (1) Does is mean that UDD is somehow lagging for recent releases? (2) Practically, I ended up doing apt-get source (or even wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/lightdm/$PKGVERSION ). Is there a way to contribute to Xenial and/or latest development packages using bzr? Thank you for your attention.
