There is some progress, albeit slow. Several bzr reverse dependencies that were not available for Breezy have been or are in the process of being removed from the archive: * qbzr * bzr-explorer * bzr-xmloutput * bzr-search For the other bzr plugins, equivalent functionality is available in the Breezy ecosystem: * bzr => brz * bzrtools => brz * bzr-email => brz * bzr-builddeb => brz-debian * loggerhead => loggerhead-breezy * bzr-loom => brz-loom (currently in NEW) * bzr-fastimport => brz * bzr-git => brz * bzr-upload => brz * bzr-stats => brz I've prepared packages for the transition, but am currently waiting on the blockers for this bug to be resolved before I can upload those.
