What are seeds?
Seeds are textfiles used to create the list of packages that we want to ship with the Ubuntu Studio installation image.
A germinate script is used to parse these seed files and ensure that the required Ubuntu Studio packages are installed on the user's system.
Sometime after the seed files have been updated and pushed back to the lp:~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntu-seeds repository, the germinate script will run on an Ubuntu server. The germinate output for all the Ubuntu flavours can be found here: http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/germinate-output/
The results of all this will eventually be built onto the daily Live DVD. The past releases, and the current daily build can be found here: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/
Occasionally, the Live DVD build will fail, and we receive an email on the Ubuntu Studio developers mailing list.

Managing Ubuntu Studio Seeds
The workflow to edit the Ubuntu Studio seeds is basically:
- get the source
- edit the source
- commit the changes
- push the changes back to the repository
The seeds for Ubuntu Studio are located at lp:~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntustudio.<release>.
Get them using the commandline tool bzr. For instance:
bzr checkout lp:~ubuntustudio-dev/ubuntu-seeds/ubuntustudio.quantal
Or alternatively, if you already have the seeds, cd into the directory and do a bzr pull.
"lp:" stands for launchpad. All Ubuntu Studio code can be found at - https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev |
Editing Seeds
This is an example of a seed file (minimized version of a real seed file):

* agave #This is a dependency |
* (blender) #This is a recommend |
# * (openclipart-svg) #Has been commented out, and will not be used |

* ubuntustudio-graphics # Metapackage for everything here. |
