Nice discussion at debconf

2009-07-26 Thread Tom Arnold
Hello list,

I love the idea of more x-distro collab, but what I heard seems really
complicated and daunting.
Wouldn't it be easier to set up some independent (maybe with Debian
money) rejected-patches.org
with a gitorious install that maybe pulls all distro (or just rejected
from upstream) patches and thus
creates this central hub where everybody can look and pull in the bits
one needs. Git may not be
able to pull from every dvcs now, but that is just a technical problem
that can be solved in a fairly
straight forward manner.

Cheers,

- Thomas -

PS: I am just brainstorming here .. so no need to be gentle with me.
It is late and maybe this is
just a brainfart.

adrian15 introduction

2009-07-26 Thread adrian15
As a new subscriber to the list, please consider writing a short, 
introductory mail in which you let us know about your distro 
involvement and (D)VCS experience.


Hi,

Distro involvement:

I once modified a Fully Automatic Installation package for Ubuntu 8.10.
I am trying to modify Debian's grub2 so that I can build super grub2 disk.
So... I do not know any of the tools that make package development 
easier or faster. I just read wikis or ask in irc when I do not know how 
to do something.


(D)VCS experience:
===
I have learnt how to use svn although I do not use it regularly. Even 
more, I have a free software project but I have not managed to save my 
changes in a version control system. I work offline. I plan to use 
git-svn  or maybe only git so that things are easy but I am not quite sure.


vcs-pkg.org involvement

I have seen Madduck's introductory video to vcs-pkg on Debconf8. I have 
just attended to a vcs-pkg Birds of Feather (BoF) at Debconf9.


1) I see that we need is a package builder system that uses version 
control system capabilities underneath. (This is the conclusion I got by 
seeing debconf8's video).


2) I request Madduck to write the 4 point conclusion that he summarised 
at the Debconf9's BoF end so that I can have some material to work on.


I have some ideas, hope that great ideas but I need these 4 points so 
that I can begin to work on it.


You know, I am not deeply involved neither in package development nor in 
(d)vcs but I understand all these concepts from an outside point of 
view. I hope that my unique point of view might help you achieving your 
goals. (My goal is that the free software development community improves 
its software production speed and quality even faster than nowadays.)
