381Getting the release into Ubuntu
382-------------------------------
383
384(Feel free to propose or add new sections here about what we should do to
385get bzr into other places.)
386
387For the currently-under-development release of Ubuntu, no special action
388is needed: the release should be picked by Debian and synced from there into
389Ubuntu.
390
391Releases off stable bzr branches should go in to the ``-updates`` of the
392Ubuntu release that originally contained that branch. (Ubuntu Lucid had
393bzr 2.2.0, so should get every 2.2.x update.) This means going through
394the `SRU (Stable Release Updates)
395<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates>`__ process.
396
397As of September 2010, bzr has applied to the technical board to be added
398to the `MicroReleaseExceptions
399<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates/MicroReleaseExceptions>`__
400category so that whole bugfix releases can more easily be approved.
401
402**After making a bzr stable-release release, nominate the most serious bug
403for the appropriate Ubuntu release and subscribe the `ubuntu-sru` team.**
