I had over the buildd to Frederik at regular intervals. I just tell him what the last log I signed was. When I get back I just look at my buildd/build dir to see which changes files are still there so I know which logs I need to sign.

Well, the changes of binaries built but not yet signed are available in ~buildd/build on the buildd and their corresponding logs in ~buildd/logs. So if you have access to the buildd it would also be easy to hack up a little script to sign packages. It would still require coordination with the main buildd admin because work is duplicated otherwise but we are talking of absences here. Kind regards, Philipp Kern -- .''`.

Yeah, I realize it'd be better to "fetch everything, please", and then sign the local copies. Maybe it would be good for the IMAP server part to know what logs are still unsigned, and to know what logs a user did fetch already, eg. with mailboxes: imap:///.../arch/pending imap:///u...@.../arch/pending (This is very rough, but hopefully you get the idea.)

Package: buildd.debian.org I've been trying to devise a way to allow for multiple maintainers to share the responsibility of signing logs. Switching the recipient address works, but only if absences are known ahead of time - and that also doesn't facilitate load balancing. One idea is a shared imap folder for logs that can be accessed by the team (and luk suggested I bring that up here). Of course, that implies that messages are signed as they are fetched from the server - I can see that increasing the time it takes to do a signing run. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
