I have proceeded with migrating both the Ubuntu seeds and the platform seeds to git. These are now available at <https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/>. As a result, while flavors do not have to adopt git for their own seeds, all flavors will need to follow step 3 from the wikipage, "exec germinate-update-metapackage --vcs", and also adjust references to bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ in update.cfg to instead point to git+ssh://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/ubuntu-seeds/+git/. I will be deleting the bzr branches ASAP to prevent their accidental use. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
