[Biopython-dev] SVN migration and Launchpad mirroring

A couple more notes on Launchpad:

- Checking out from the master branch does not require signing up for a
Launchpad account. Using Launchpad's bug tracker, etc. does, but that's
optional and expected.

- The PPA feature really is cool, at least using it from Ubuntu. The
python-biopython package is included in the main distribution, but Biopython
releases happen more frequently than every 6 months, so that package gets
out of date. With the PPA, interested users can track new releases in the
package manager without downloading a fresh copy or checking out the
development version with cvs/svn/bzr.

Cheers,
Eric
