Bug Description

I was trying to create a recipe for wikkid and was getting an error on the page, however all it said was "The recipe text is not a valid bzr-builder recipe."

The exception message gives more helpful error messages which we should show on the page. Also related is bug 604718.

My recipe was:

# bzr-builder format 0.2 deb-version 0.2+{revno}
lp:wikkid
merge lp:~thumper/wikkid/debian

However the merge command needed a "branch name", and should have been:

merge packaging lp:~thumper/wikkid/debian

but as a new recipe user, I had no idea what I had done wrong.
