What are seeds?

Seeds are textfiles used to create the list of packages that we want to ship with the Ubuntu Studio installation image.

Managing Ubuntu Studio Seeds

Add a short workflow here...

  • get source
  • edit source
  • add and commit

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

"lp:" stands for launchpad. All Ubuntu Studio code can be found at - https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-dev
