The project is hosted on Launchpad: http://www.launchpad.net/lottanzb/

Just FYI.

Steph is working on this: https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/lottanzb/+spec/deb-package

[Severin H (severinh)]

I have almost completed the packaging process. Apart from the GNOME menu entries everything seems to work just fine. Proper packages can be expected for the 0.2 release of LottaNZB.

[Severin H (severinh)]

As promised, LottaNZB 0.2 was also released in the form of a deb package. It works perfectly on Hardy, but however, some users have reported problems on older Ubuntu versions such as Feisty and Gusty. I'm not sure if this is a package related problem or not. Needs further investigation.

Please set this bug to fix released only when it is in the ubuntu repositories, not earlier.

LottaNZB 0.3 came out this week, the deb package is availabe, see http://lottanzb.org for more informations.

[Thomas van der Burgt (thvdburgt)]

I would love to see this in the final release of Intrepid, may I nominate it for it's release?

[Sander Tuit (avirulence)]

LottaNZB 0.4 is out now as well, and a 0.4.1 will be out soon with some updated translations. There are proper Ubuntu packages available on http://www.lottanzb.org/.

[Severin H (severinh)]

Just uploaded LottaNZB to mentors.debian.net. All lintian warnings have been fixed in 0.4.0-1.

LottaNZB 0.4.0 has been uploaded to Ubuntu REVU: http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=lottanzb

[Severin H (severinh)]

LottaNZB has been uploaded to the Debian repo by the Debian developer Piotr Ożarowski. Right now, LottaNZB is still in the NEW queue (http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html). It looks like it’s not necessary to have the REVU entry for LottaNZB anymore. We’d rather have to make a sync request as soon as LottaNZB officially hits unstable, since Ubuntu's Debian Import Freeze is already in place.

[Severin H (severinh)]

I've no idea why LottaNZB is still in Debian's NEW queue. Is there some sort of a freeze in place I don't know about? As long as this is the case, it won't be possible to request a sync to Ubuntu. I fear that we'll miss the deadline another time.

The REVU entry has been archived by Nathan Handler by the way.

[Severin H (severinh)]

LottaNZB has finally been uploaded to Debian (http://www.lottanzb.org/development-blog)! It won't be part of Jaunty's repositories but as soon as Jaunty has been released, it will automatically be imported I guess.

What about this bug? Will we mark it as fixed as soon as the package has been imported?

[Nathan Handler (nhandler)]

This bug report will not be automatically set to 'Fix Released' when we sync this package from Debian for karmic. The status will need to be manually updated.
