news · December 24, 2009

alternative you can merge by hand or using the newer bzr tools:

To find what packages are likely to need a merge you can use the

The MoM problems are apparently due to some bugs with respect to the

new Debian source formats. MoM also fails when it encounters a

problematic package rather than skipping and moving on. If you have a

desire to help fix those problems, MoM's source code can be obtained

via:

bzr branch lp:merge-o-matic

I believe any Ubuntu Core Developer can commit to this branch and

-Jordan
