Ah, I had just come here to look at uploading this to *unstable* - we've
just uploaded mutter-3 there, and so budgie-desktop will need fixing
now.

Could you possibly re-upload to unstable NEW please? I guess if some
copyright fixes are required then David might need to post a new
package.

Cheers!

This happened earlier. As a quick summary of things that are relevant to
these lists:

  - After a quick consultation with developers, Ubuntu will be
deprecating REVU. This is rather more immediate than I had
anticipated.
  - We will continue to inform maintainers of new packages that they
really ought to be targetting Debian, but we identified two
documents that should exist
+ An Ubuntu document “Why Debian?” that presses the compelling case
  for contributing packages upstream. We have [0], but I imagine
  something more
+ A Debian document “How Debian?” which speaks to upstreams wishing
  to maintain their own software in Debian. This isn't a packaging
  guide, but a process one — how to find teams and get reviews, and
  so on.
  - Still hope to use mentors, extending it with the concept of
derivatives for the rare cases this is needed or, if mentors folk
aren't happy with this, then I guess we could run our own instance
but this would likely have the same problems as REVU does.

Help welcomed, especially with “How Debian?”. Until the derivatives
stuff is done, we'll be conducting the few reviews that are necessary
informally out of VCSes or on IRC.

Cheers,

FYI I spoke to DSA yesterday to see if this is an issue. They informed
me that non-members can get guest access to machines in order to
comaintain services, but that they should be working towards becoming
members at some point.

So if there is appetite amongst the current mentors maintainers then it
can be done.

Session on "NEW package workflow" at UDS

2011-11-01 Thread Iain Lane
Hello,

I thought derivatives and mentors people might be interested to know
that there's going to be a session about what the workflow for getting
new packages into Ubuntu should look like at UDS on Friday at 10:00 EDT
(14:00 GMT).

In attendance will be myself, Allison Randal and zack. I plan on arguing
for the increased use of mentors (debexpo) and the medium-term
deprecation of Ubuntu's equivalent, REVU. There have been conversations
around this before, but I see opportunities to build a good mentorship
community for Debian and all derivatives which is based around
mentors.d.n (hopefully mentors.d.o?).

Please attend the session (remotely if you are not at UDS)

  (currently, the room may change but I'll let you know if it does)
  #ubuntu-uds-bonaire5 @ Freenode
  http://icecast.ubuntu.com:8000/bonaire5.ogg.m3u

Or share your thoughts in reply to this thread and I'll try to make them
known at the meeting.

Regards,

RFS: goocanvasmm

2008-12-13 Thread Iain Lane
Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "goocanvasmm". I have packaged
this as a precursor to requesting an upload for a client program, glom
[0]. A previous version of this package (0.12.0) is in Ubuntu's universe
archive, and as such was reviewed by two Ubuntu developers, so this
should ensure some measure of acceptability, I hope.

* Package name: goocanvasmm
  Version : 0.13.0-1
  Upstream Author : Murray Cumming 
* URL : http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/sources/goocanvasmm/
* License : LGPL 2.1+/GPL 2+
  Section : libs

It builds these binary packages:
libgoocanvasmm-0.1-4 - C++ bindings for GooCanvas
libgoocanvasmm-dev - C++ bindings for GooCanvas, development files

The package appears to be lintian clean.

The upload would fix these bugs: 493794

The package can be found on mentors.debian.net:
- URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/goocanvasmm
- Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable
main contrib non-free
- dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/goocanvasmm/goocanvasmm_0.13.0-1.dsc

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me. I am in
#debian-mentors (Laney) for flames ;)

Kind regards
 Iain Lane
