[...] Had the urge to try some hacking with launchpadlib this week and came up with: bzr branch lp:~retail-0/+junk/ubuntustudio-tools It is a simple tool to retrieve the ubuntustudio package set(s) from launchpad. When I next get the urge it will be a tool to extract the packages that are part of our metas. I know we can do this with the normal apt/dpkg tools, but that requires each series to be listed in your sources.list. I hope I can use python-debian to parse the debian/control files in the archive. Then hopefully with a diff of the two we can get the two (and keep them) in alignment.

I will do a check, that this list of packages is up to date with what is in the metas. It could be a good source for a list of packages if it was up to date. The launchpad API unfortunately does not expose the runtime dependencies of source packages, so it is difficult to use to build a list of packages from the metas. The only other option I could see that was left (so that the list could be produced on any machine for any series), was to query http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and parse the HTML. Interestingly, I see that we do not have any uploaders listed in the package set. We should work on that! I would like to see an ubuntustudio-uploaders team, that could have strictly controlled membership. For example, I have no real interest in getting upload permissions to the whole ubuntu "universe" where I could do lots of damage :-) But upload rights for "our" package set would be really useful (once I have proved my self with some packaging in ubuntustudio-contributors).

A short update. I had forgotten about these pages. We have something called a "package set" for Ubuntu Studio. All flavors have them. This page should show all packages that concern us http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/packagesets/wily/ubuntustudio (but that is also the desktop packages, like xfce). Also, there's a tool for querying those in "ubuntu-archive-tools", called edit-acl. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

Re: [ubuntu-studio-devel] Ubuntu Studio Packaging [Was: Re: continued as per request, from IRC]
Actually, we could do something with the launchpad REST API. I have only tried it very quickly, but it would allow doing searches in the bug database and creating some html page from that. Requires a cron job on a personal server, but it's pretty doable. One place to add it is to your people.ubuntu.com page, like the one I have here http://people.ubuntu.com/~zequence/ (you need to be an Ubuntu member with a signed launchpad account). I'll add a task for myself to do that. If anyone has better ideas, or a good template for the design of the resulting html page, please tell. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel

I always intended to create a script for my email sorter to spot multimedia packages in the -changes list for the current Ubuntu development release - which then could be automatically processed in multiple ways, but it would be a lot easier to have a list in a browser for sure. -- ubuntu-studio-devel mailing list ubuntu-studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
[ubuntu-studio-devel] Ubuntu Studio Packaging [Was: Re: continued as per request, from IRC]
[...] Just chiming in on the packaging side of things (a few thoughts). Existing Packages - I have done the occasional SRU, backport, sync & merge in Ubuntu. But I would like to do more of this for Ubuntu Studio. The trouble is that there is no place that I know of where you can see all of the Ubuntu Studio Packages, and what work is required on them. You can see the bugs here for our packages: https://bugs.launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-bugs/+packagebugs But as most of the bugs are not fully triaged, potential patches from upstream that could be applied are not known about. You can see here all the packages in universe that are out of sync with Debian: https://merges.ubuntu.com/universe.html But when the list is long, it can be hard to find our packages. You can see here the state of the Debian Multimedia Team packages and look for versions that are out of sync: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-multimedia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Spotting potential backports is harder. Launchpad gives you a view for each package of what versions are in which release, but we need a table (like the Debian Multimedia one) for our packages all on one page. Maybe I just haven't found the right website, or worked out how to search/filter properly? New Packages You can find wishlist bugs that have been tagged as "needs packaging" here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=needs-packaging Packaging for Ubuntu or Debian -- It is possible to do the work in Ubuntu, and then when it is accepted/uploaded in Ubuntu, offer it up to Debian. This works for patches, but for complete packaging, they are likely just to do it themselves eventually anyway. For learning packaging, Ubuntu has some great documentation, but you can't beat Debian Mentors for guiding you through the process: https://mentors.debian.net/ There are a lot of wise packagers on the mailing list there ready and willing to help answer questions. But if people are interested in this, there is no reason why we couldn't learn together here, and after a few successes, offer our service to the Debian Multimedia Team.
