Subject: Upgrading the Launchpad bzr import
To: Martin Pool <email address hidden>
We received the following request on the Parrot developer list to update
the lp:parrot bzr mirror of the parrot svn repository. The original
import was done by the launchpad team, so the owner listed on lp:parrot
is the vcs-imports team. What's the best way to go about getting an
update to the bzr format?
Thanks,
Allison
