Hi folks,
I'm wondering whether it would make sense to ask ow...@bugs.debian.org
for a d-i.debian.org pseudo package which could be used to track
bugs/proposed changes for d-i's infrastructure. This includes but is
not limited to: the various scripts generating reports on
d-i.debian.org, scripts used to manage i18n/l10n bits, or various
cross-package tasks.
Dear owner,
could you please introduce a d-i.debian.org pseudo package with
debian-boot@lists.debian.org as its maintainer?
I can; can you provide the text for this psuedopackage's description
Looking at the existing descriptions[1], I'd go for something like:
d-i.debian.org -- Issues regarding the d-i.debian.org service and general
Debian Installer tasks.
1. https://www.debian.org/Bugs/pseudo-packages.en
as
well as an example of a few bugs which will be filed there? [The latter
is mainly so that I know that the psuedopackage will be used; they don't
have to yet be filed in the BTS... a few links to messages on -boot
which are bugs which would have been filed is good enough.]
Sure, things like this would have been tracked there:
http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/d-i/trunk/scripts/testing-summary/gen-summary?r1=69167r2=69316
https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2014/09/msg00406.html
More needed tweaks to scripts there (running on dillon = d-i.d.o) would
be documented there, like not sending broken kernel ABI bump
notifications mails when the remote host is down:
| May 31 Linux kernel wa (0.3K) Linux kernel ABI bump in testing: from 3.14-1
to (none)
| May 31 Linux kernel wa (0.3K) Linux kernel ABI bump in unstable: from 3.14-1
to (none)
| May 31 Linux kernel wa (0.3K) Linux kernel ABI bump in experimental: from
3.15-rc7 to (none)
| Jun 01 Linux kernel wa (0.3K) Linux kernel ABI bump in testing: from (none)
to 3.14-1
| Jun 01 Linux kernel wa (0.3K) Linux kernel ABI bump in unstable: from (none)
to 3.14-1
| Jun 01 Linux kernel wa (0.3K) Linux kernel ABI bump in experimental: from
(none) to 3.15-rc7
and also when the version in experimental disappears because it got
uploaded/superceded in unstable.
We could have used it to track this instead of relying on my having the
mail flagged in my maildir:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2014/09/msg00423.html
We could also use it to track the fact that serving this file properly
(announced as utf-8) would be nice:
http://d-i.debian.org/translations.txt
Cross package tasks could include reviewing the fonts package (ttf-* vs
fonts-* aren't using the same namespace yet, at least as far as udebs
are concerned).
The #740151 bug against ttf-cjk-compact-udeb might involve some infra
check and/or changes and it would make sense to have it tracked (either
reassigned to or using a blocking bug against d-i.debian.org).
I'm also tempted to open a bug report when preparing each d-i release
and using blocks to keep track of bugs we want to get fixed before a
given release.
I hope this illustrates what was quoted in my initial mail. Please let
me know if you need more examples. Having given all these examples, it
makes me feel like “debian-installer” would be slightly better, but it's
already a real package. “d-i” would work too but I guess having a well
identified “d-i.debian.org” name would avoid any confusion, even if all
bugs aren't about this actual, particular host/service.
Mraw,
KiBi.
