update use cases
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
== Use cases ==
- * Colin is preparing a point-release of dapper and wishes to migrate a package from dapper-updates to dapper (RELEASE pocket). Firstly he sets dapper to be FROZEN (a backtrack from RELEASED). He then finds the version he wishes to migrate and runs {{{package-sync --with-binaries ubuntu/dapper-updates/gtk+/2.10-53.1ubuntu12.3 ubuntu/dapper}}} and reads what the package-sync tool says it will migrate. Having read through he confirms that it's what he wants to do and the records are copied as appropriate.
+ * Colin is processing an update to dapper submitted by a developer, which has gone through testing in the PROPOSED pocket as specified in the [http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates Ubuntu stable release updates process]. He wishes to transfer this update directly into the UPDATES pocket without the need for a rebuild. He finds the version he wishes to migrate and runs {{{package-sync --with-binaries ubuntu/dapper-proposed/gtk+2.0/2.8.20-0ubuntu2~proposed ubuntu/dapper-updates}}} and reads what the package-sync tool says it will migrate. Having read through he confirms that it's what he wants to do and the records are copied as appropriate.
- * Scott wants to migrate a debian source package to the current development ubuntu release (sync-source role). He can do this by invoking {{{package-sync debian/sid/foo/1.8 ubuntu/edgy}}}.
+ * Scott wants to migrate a Debian source package to the current development Ubuntu release (currently handled by sync-source). He can do this by invoking {{{package-sync debian/sid/foo/1.8 ubuntu/edgy}}}.
