Bug#295311: RFH: mysql-dfsg -- mysql database client library

2005-02-14 Thread Christian Hammers
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I request assistance with maintaining the mysql-dfsg package.

The package description is:
 MySQL is a fast, stable and true multi-user, multi-threaded SQL database
 server. SQL (Structured Query Language) is the most popular database query
 language in the world. The main goals of MySQL are speed, robustness and
 ease of use.

The generated binaries are mysql-server, mysql-client, mysql-common,
libmysqlclient12 and libmysqlclient12-dev.

There is also a set of packages from the mysql-dfsg-4.1 for the next
version branch that I do also maintain (and look for help for).

The packages are currently quite stable and matured but never the less
have quite complex scripts and it's a widely used package which should
not be left alone when I'm on holidays or ill.

Also there are licensing issues every couple of month with which you can
tease the always helpful MySQL employees... *evilgrin*

Although I'm happy for anybody who helps a but, I'm looking specifically
for an official Debian Developer as a Co-Maintainer who is able to upload
packages.

bye,

-christian-

ok, i can understand that :-)

Yes, that is not (yet) my case, but will hopefully be very soon: I have 
almost finished the Task&Skills part of my NM process now, and so i will 
only need as much time as the DAM needs.

I am *much* more knowledgeable than one year and a half ago, when i 
first offered some help. I have not been able to help as of late since i 
don't have upload capability yet. Otherwise, feel free to tell me which 
tasks you need help with.

bye,
 

See you :-)

Good news.

Until you are allowed to upload yourself, helping is still easy, 
except from license issues it's mostly the number of bugs that takes 
a lot of time and where I start to loose overview:
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=mysql-dfsg
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?src=mysql-dfsg-4.1

You can answer any bug report you like. Even if you only close 1-2 bugs
per week that would still be great.

i've got a pretty full plate as it is, but i can offer to help with
doing uploads and some of the less involved bug fixes if it would
be of any help.  since much of my current work (nagios, dbconfig-common)
is closely tied into mysql, i'd be happy to help with what i can.

This would be great. If you register yourself in the package 
tracking system you get all the mysql related bug reports.

Closing one bug per week is enough to make me happy, although I would not
complain about more engagement :)

If you like to prepare new upstream versions you can also do if you like.
I'm currently setting up a subversion repository for the debian/ directory
on alioth.debian.org to easy colaboratory maintainership.

bye,

-christian-

P.S. Please register for both mysql-dfsg and mysql-dfsg-4.1!

alright, let's see how that goes then :)

i think i'll leave new upstream releases to someone with a little more
time on their hands, but would be willing to contribute any needed
ideas/comments.  

anyway, let me know once you have the svn repository set up, and if
there's something specific you'd like me to start with, or whether
i should just starting hacking at bts reports.

Hooray :-)

Starting with the bug reports would be good... e.g. from time to time I 
have to close all unreproducible bugs that are older than 2 month and check
if new bugs came in without me noticing them. Also forwarded upstream bugs
that may be closed in the meantime have to be checked regulary.
(BTW: I tag them "forwarded 12354 http://..."; so that I can jump there
in the web browser)
