* The enormous mp is not very useful to the Ubuntu developers who receive it, and probably just noise.
* The real problem is not to resolve this conflict, but to improve the udd package-importer so that it does not generate non-semantic conflicts.
I don't know all of what is needed to avoid these conflicts, but we can at least start getting a better picture of what's going on, by:
* logging the conflicts
* perhaps reporting them on the status page, perhaps matched up to bugs
* looking into what needs to be done to reduce them
At the moment, when the package-importer discovers a divergence between its imports and the package branch, it creates an mp such as <https:/ /code.launchpad .net/~ubuntu- branches/ ubuntu/ natty/mod- wsgi/natty- 201104071155/ +merge/ 56743>.
This has a few problems:
* The enormous mp is not very useful to the Ubuntu developers who receive it, and probably just noise.
* The real problem is not to resolve this conflict, but to improve the udd package-importer so that it does not generate non-semantic conflicts.
