I was thinking of setting up a FAQ.

Devotee Improvements (Re: Debian Project Leader Election 2009 Results)

2009-04-13 Thread Kalle Kivimaa
Would it be possible to add a pointer to the frequently encountered
problems to the devotee error reply? This would most likely reduce the
burden on the secretary during the voting period and allow people to
solve the problems at their end faster.

No.  He got a mail saying there was a problem with his ballot.  Had he
contacted the secretary during the voting period something could have
been done about this - at worst counting his vote manually.  Now it is
too late.

I think he understands what the problem is.  And the ballot stated
what the mail needs to comply with.

I will atleast make sure that the warning about the permissions
will go away the next vote.

Hi Kurt,

Thanks for your report. I did not contact you before, since I oversaw  
the warning in the first vote report and dismissed it as a temporary  
issue in the voting software. I really don't mind my vote not being  
counted this time, it will not affect my future votes. :-) I was only  
trying to figure out if it was a common problem for this vote, and  
thus other votes where rejected, or was just my fault.



I will atleast contact devotee's author to see if we can atleast
fix this for future votes.  He will probably want to see a signed
message by your mail program.  Since this is a secret vote, I
think it's best to just send a new signed message.



If Manoj wants to look at my ballot you can forward my message to him.  
There is nothing secret in my choice for 2009 DPL.


Regards,

L

Devotee is actually a nice way to verify your MUA's compliance when
sending non-ASCII PGP mails. I found out a bug in my Gnus
configuration that way (with Manoj's help).

You're right. It was my fault not to check the correctness of my  
ballot, but since I've always used this combination of MUA to send my  
votes I have been easily distracted by the warning on unsafe directory  
permissions.
