I thought I'd write up a little on where we are at the moment. This isn't a future roadmap; it's just an explanation of where we are right now, including workarounds we're using to make progress in dogfooding until we have our better planned solutions in place. There are obvious improvements to most of this. We are working on them.
* There's a classic snap "git-ubuntu", which is the easiest way of consuming the tooling. Install with "snap install --classic git-ubuntu", or see our git tree at lp:usd-importer. * We're automatically importing a small set of packages until we're ready to scale up. "git ubuntu clone" will fetch from the right place and catch a few edge cases, or you can "git clone" directly from the git repositories under ~usd-import-team. * If you're interested in trying things out, you can: a) ask a member of ~usd-import-team to import a package as a one-off for you, or b) submit an MP to add to our automatically imported list[1]. * You can file an MP to have changes reviewed. We don't have a great process for this yet, so you should follow up with someone to review or upload as you need in addition to filing an MP. * For now, the Canonical server team is using the teams ~canonical-server-core-reviewers, ~canonical-server-motu-reviewers and ~canonical-server-packageset-reviewers to request reviews from, so that we have appropriate review queues that we can prioritise amongst our available uploaders. We're following our own mandatory peer review policy for all uploads now, including for uploaders (one of the two developers need not be an uploader). In the longer term, we'd like to replace this with better integration with the sponsorship queue, or a replacement for it. We're open to quick fixes to make this better in the short term, though, for example for better integration with other teams and other contributors. * To get your rich git history adopted into the "official" importer tree after upload, in the short term a member of ~usd-import-team needs to push an "upload tag" for you. To avoid races, this needs to happen before upload. We're using the "Approved" MP state to represent that this needs doing in our review queues. If you are an uploader and just want your rich history integrated, please ask someone in ~usd-import-team after you have an MP ready. In the longer term, the importer will do this automatically.
