Release team members often need to work on the code which builds our CD images. While there are public branches for this on Launchpad, for mostly historical reasons the master copies of these are actually hosted on the CD image build machine, and are readable/writable directly by Canonical staff with access to that machine (currently nusakan).

Please do not commit directly on nusakan. Although our processes aren't the best, it's intended to be a production machine, not a development machine. Please check out branches on your normal development system and commit there, and then deploy those commits to nusakan.

Setup (replace nusakan in the following with nusakan.canonical.com if that's how you ssh to that machine):

bzr checkout bzr+ssh://nusakan/srv/cdimage.ubuntu.com/bzr/cdimage
bzr checkout bzr+ssh://nusakan/srv/cdimage.ubuntu.com/bzr/private/cdimage cdimage-deployment
bzr checkout bzr+ssh://nusakan/srv/cdimage.ubuntu.com/bzr/debian-cd

You can now bzr update in each of those branches to update, and bzr commit to commit. (Since this is a bound branch, bzr will automatically refuse to commit if you aren't up to date, and there's no need for a separate push step.)

If you've committed to cdimage and want to deploy, merge into cdimage-deployment first.

To deploy, as cdimage@nusakan:

sudo -u cdimage -i
cd ~/cdimage
bzr pull
cd debian-cd
bzr pull
