Package: src:wine
Version: 3.6-1
Severity: important
Hi,
so pkg-wine-pa...@lists.alioth.debian.org doesn't work anymore since
about 2 weeks. The new maintainer address in wine's maintainer field
w...@tracker.debian.org
also doesn't work. Although I'm subscribed to the wine package at
tracker.debian.org I do not receive mails sent there.
A) Possible solutions
A0) Short-term solution per package
dispatch+$p...@tracker.debian.org
I've used dispatch+w...@tracker.debian.org in the x-debbugs-cc of this
bug and it hopefully works. Since I do not know if the other maintainers
are also subscribed to wine at tracker.d.o I also added their personal
addresses explicitly there.
Documentation is at
https://qa.pages.debian.net/distro-tracker/about.html#email-interface.
Now, I'd like to find a real team address again, which suits for the
multiple packages (wine, wine-development, wine-gecko-X, winetricks,
exe-thumbnailer, anything-else?).
It should fit the needs of maintainers, other interested parties (e.g.
upstream) and users.
A1) @lists.debian.org
Since the mailing list is also for discussion and coordination (not only
automatic mails) I think we qualify to use e.g.
wine-team@lists.d.o
A2) alioth-lists.debian.net
There's also the mailing list continuation service (we missed the
deadline and did not opt in):
https://alioth-lists.debian.net/
https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/MailingListContinuation
I do not know if we could still use it (I'd prefer wine-team@l.d.o anyway).
A3) salsa.d.o
Mike already created the "wine-team" at salsa.d.o. [Thanks for adding
me, whoever it was.]. I still need to investigate if this offers some
good way of team communication, and how this works with the single
package projects at salsa. So I don't know if this could replace the
need for a "real" mailing list.
A4) tracker.d.o
We may also create a team at tracker.d.o. Again, I don't know exactly
what benefits this has, and how mail works with teams there.
B) Subscribers
Currently people not too deeply involved in Debian will have no clue at
all what happened, if they noticed anything at all. Once we have a new
team communication setup again, we should transfer all old subscribers
there, or at least notify them. Is there a way to get the list of the
old subscribers (I'm neither the owner of the old mailinglist, nor am I
a DD)?
C) Team name
Previously we were the "Debian Wine Party". I don't mind at all to
discard the "Party" from the name.
Currently we have these:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/wine
Debian Wine Packages
https://salsa.debian.org/wine-team/wine
Debian Wine Packaging
debian/control.in
Debian Wine Party
Not sure if "Debian Wine Packaging" is the new "official" name, or only
the description. I'd be fine with that, although imo it's a bit to
narrow for all related tasks. I'd suggest "Debian Wine Team" in case we
need a name somewhere.
And related: we also need to migrate all "other" team git repositories.
Any existing plans here?
Greets and hoping for much feedback
