Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apt
I wanted to browse the source code of software center and so did the following. arv...@dnivra:~/test/software center$ apt-get source software-center Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done NOTICE: 'software-center' packaging is maintained in the 'Bzr' version control system at: https://code.launchpad.net/~software-center-developers/software-center/3.0 Please use: bzr get https://code.launchpad.net/~software-center-developers/software-center/3.0 to retrieve the latest (possibly unreleased) updates to the package. Need to get 630kB of source archives. 0% [Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.92.170)]^C Following that bzr maintains the code, i tried that link it suggested only to get the following error. arv...@dnivra:~/test/software center$ bzr get https://code.launchpad.net/~software-center-developers/software-center/3.0 bzr: ERROR: Not a branch: "https://code.launchpad.net/~software-center-developers/software-center/3.0/";. It should either report "bzr get https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- branches/ubuntu/natty/software-center/natty" which is the current development or "bzr get https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu- branches/ubuntu/maverick/software-center/maverick" since I run ubuntu 10.10. This should seriously be fixed-apt should give right launchpad links. A thought that could arise here would be to also change all the "bzr get" to "bzr branch", if the code is hosted in launchpad. For example, "bzr branch lp:ubuntu/maverick/software-center" instead of "bzr get https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/maverick/software- center/maverick"-the former is smaller and easier to memorize.
