Ubuntu related Projects

During the Natty development cycle, I transitioned python-numpy from version 1.4.1 to 1.5.1 (695005). This required me to check that all the packages that build depend on numpy work, and resulted in me having to fix a number of build issues with all of these packages. In addition to this, I had to ensure that any packages that depend on python-numpy continued to work after the transition.
