Partner archive¶
The Canonical partner archive, though not part of Ubuntu proper, is managed using the same tools and queues. As such, use the same procedures when processing partner packages. E.g.:
$ ./queue -s hardy info
Listing ubuntu/hardy (New) 2

Notice 'Component: partner'
. Use -A ubuntu/partner
to remove a package:
$ ./remove-package -m "request from First Last name" \
-A ubuntu/partner -s precise adobe-flashplugin
The rules governing package inclusion in partner are not the same as those for
the main Ubuntu archive. See
Extension Repository Policy
for the Technical Board’s requirements regarding the contents of add-on
repositories made available through the Software Sources
interface.
