The checkout issue is definitely a problem, however I have been surprised that it hasn't been the big issue I expected. It only really seems to be a problem the first time you check them out. By team work do you mean packages in progress (use branches) or permissions for accessing the branches? -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
