Updating the ubuntu-dev-tools package in Ubuntu
-----------------------------------------------

Here are the steps that are recommended to take when updating the
ubuntu-dev-tools package in Ubuntu.

1) Make sure that there are no new revisions to the package's trunk in Bazaar:

    bzr pull lp:ubuntu-dev-tools

2) Check to make sure that all approved merges have been merged:

    https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu-dev-tools/+activereviews

3) Make sure that there is no low lying fruit that can be fixed at:

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-dev-tools

4) Before uploading the package change the UNRELEASED field in the
   debian/changelog file to the current development release.

   If there is no UNRELEASED entry, make sure that the version for the current
   one has not been uploaded by someone else already:

    https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-dev-tools/+publishinghistory

   Using: dch -r UNRELEASED - will also set the release to the development
   version.

5) Once the target release has been changed, commit it to Bazaar (where X.YY is
   the new package version):

    bzr commit -m "Uploaded X.YY to RELEASE."

6) Tag the new release in Bazaar:

    bzr tag X.YY

   For a full list of tags, please see: 'bzr tags'. This is so we can track
   which Bazaar revision is in which release and makes bug triaging easier.

7) Create the new source package:

    bzr bd -S

8) Upload the package to Ubuntu with dput as normal:

    dput ubuntu ubuntu-dev-tools_X.YY_source.changes

9) Create a new blank entry with dch -i and mark it as UNRELEASED.
