8+Getting the release into Ubuntu
9+-------------------------------
10+
11+(Feel free to propose or add new sections here about what we should do to
12+get bzr into other places.)
13+
14+For the currently-under-development release of Ubuntu, no special action
15+is needed: the release should be picked by Debian and synced from there into
16+Ubuntu.
17+
18+Releases off stable bzr branches should go in to the ``-updates`` of the
19+Ubuntu release that originally contained that branch. (Ubuntu Lucid had
20+bzr 2.2.0, so should get every 2.2.x update.) This means going through
21+the `SRU (Stable Release Updates)
22+<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates>`__ process.
23+
24+As of September 2010, bzr has applied to the technical board to be added
25+to the `MicroReleaseExceptions
26+<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/MicroReleaseExceptions>`__
27+category so that whole bugfix releases can more easily be approved.
28+
29+**After making a bzr stable-release release, nominate the most serious bug
30+for the appropriate Ubuntu release and subscribe the `ubuntu-sru` team.**
