update-manager on alioth

As I noted in this weeks update-manager progress update one of my tasks was to create an alioth.debian.org project and get my branches uploaded to Debian.

I did not imagine that alioth admins (hi there, a huge "thank you" goes to you guys) would be this fast with reviewing and accepting the project and enabling bazaar support for me.
Anyways, the project has been accepted and its new home is on alioth. I have also already uploaded both my update-manager branch and python-apt branch to bzr.debian.org

Additionally I have generated the API documentation, which is also hosted on alioth, and created a development disccusion mailing list, update-manager-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org.

If you are interested in this project feel free to have a look at what I've done so far and join the development discussion. Comments, critizism and ideas are always welcome.

update-manager weekly update #0

It has been more than a month since I last wrote about my work on update-manager during this year's Google Summer Of Code and I am somewhat ashamed I wasn't able to provide you with updates more regularly.

So first of all, yes, I did do some work and yes, there has been quite some progress. Basically both private and university stuff have kept me from writing and that's why I'd like to start with this series of weekly updates today.
This series are meant to summarize what has happened during a week of writing code and give you an overview of what's happening. This first issue however will sum up the past month.

So let me begin explaining what has happened since my last post.
