Hi, I think we could have a better prioritization of the tasks of the debmaster, if not for this sprint at least for the next(s).
http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo.org_Sprints/May_09 says Run a test build of all Diablo Extras packages on Fremantle . Could. "The fact that developers are porting packages themselves somewhat obviates the need to me to do a lot of this." ... wouldn't this be the other way around? Developers have to port themselves because there is no automatic build trying to push as much packages as possible from Diablo? "Reducing number of external repositories - contact outstanding owners" appears as "should", which looks more like a Could compared to the other task. Same for http://wiki.maemo.org/ITP - appears as Should, but it could probably wait a month or two (first we have packages, then we have the tool to search them) ;) Anyway, I think what developers need right now is direct support for their packaging. The idea of hiring a debmaster came with the will to save time and hassle to developers. For that high level tasks are needed, but the primary work should be to offer direct support, and getting your Diablo dependencies working already in Fremantle looks like a very good and immediate help. Or at least this is my humble opinion. :) -- Quim Gil _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
