<p>We build Ubuntu <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.deb</span></code> packages for Bazaar as an important part of the
release process. These packages are hosted in a few <a class="reference external" href="https://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart">Personal Package
Archives (PPA)</a> on Launchpad.</p>
<blockquote>
<div></div></blockquote>
<p>As of January 2011, there are the following PPAs:</p>
<dl class="docutils">
<dt><<a class="reference external" href="https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive/ppa">https://launchpad.net/~bzr/+archive/ppa</a>></dt>

<dd>Automatic nightly builds from trunk.</dd>
</dl>
<p>We build a distinct package for each distrorelease.
If you upload a release-specific version, you should add a suffix to the
package version, e.g. <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">1.3-1~bazaar1~dapper1</span></code>.</p>
<p>Dapper uses the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">python-support</span></code> framework and later distributions use
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">python-central</span></code>. This has little effect on everyday packaging but does
mean that some of the control files are quite different.</p>
<p>Beta releases of bzr and plugins are uploaded into the beta PPA.</p>
<p>Final release versions are first uploaded into the proposed PPA, which
serves as a staging area to allow for new packages to be tested, and also
so that a complete set of Bazaar core and plugin updated versions can be
prepared together, when negotiating an API version transition.</p>
<p>Once ready, packages can be copied from the proposed PPA to the main PPA
using the lp-promote-ppa script found within the hydrazine project. This
procedure reduces the risk of broken packages or dependencies between
packages in the main PPA from which many people get bzr updates.</p>
<p>The packaging information is kept in branches of bzr on Launchpad, named
like
<<a class="reference external" href="https://code.launchpad.net/~bzr/ubuntu/hardy/bzr/bzr-ppa">https://code.launchpad.net/~bzr/ubuntu/hardy/bzr/bzr-ppa</a>>.
or
<lp:~bzr/ubuntu/hardy/bzr/bzr-ppa>. These branches are intended to be used
with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">bzr-builddeb</span></code> plugin.</p>
<p>The page <<a class="reference external" href="http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/PpaPackagingBranches">http://wiki.bazaar.canonical.com/PpaPackagingBranches</a>> is a
reference to where the PPA packaging branches for each of the source
packages in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">~bzr</span></code> PPAs may be found.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="supported-releases">
<h2>Supported releases<a class="headerlink" href="#supported-releases" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>We build packages for every supported Ubuntu release
<<a class="reference external" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases</a>>. Packages need no longer be updated
when the release passes end-of-life because all users should
have upgraded by then.</p>
<p>As of August 2010, the following releases are supported:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Maverick</li>
<li>Lucid LTS</li>
<li>Karmic</li>
<li>Jaunty (support ends October 2010)</li>
<li>Hardy LTS</li>
<li>Dapper LTS (supported but no longer updated for new releases)</li>
</ul>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rmadison</span> <span class="pre">bzr</span></code> command will gives you an up-to-date summary
of which bzr releases are current in each Ubuntu release.</p>

<h2>Monitoring the contents of PPAs<a class="headerlink" href="#monitoring-the-contents-of-ppas" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>If you add all the bzr PPAs to your <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sources.list</span></code> then you can see a
summary of current package versions with:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">apt</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">cache</span> <span class="n">madison</span> <span class="n">bzr</span>

<h2>Testing the contents of the PPA<a class="headerlink" href="#testing-the-contents-of-the-ppa" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>A somewhat crude but useful way to test the contents of the PPA is to
install the relevant packages into an schroot:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">schroot</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">c</span> <span class="n">hardy</span><span class="o">-</span><span class="n">test</span> <span class="o">-</span><span class="n">u</span> <span class="n">root</span> <span class="o">--</span> \

<span class="n">bzr</span>

<p>This should make sure everything can be installed; it won’t guarantee that</p>
