Re: [Mageia-dev] BugSquad initiation!

This is copy of email that was sent some time ago (about two weeks) to
the bugsquad mailing list, and to everyone who put his name down in
the triage page in the wiki.
After discussions, it was seen wise to send a fresh copy to the
Mageia-dev and Mageia-discuss mailing lists, in the hope that people
who are interested in triage work can participate :)
Please *reply to* this email directly on the mageia-bugsquad mailing
list (please be careful as this email has -dev and -discussion lists
in CC :)).
This is just an introduction email, to get the team started/organised.
Unlike other teams we are not in a rush, since, well, we still don't
have any bugs (something you probably won't hear/read ever again :));
still it's a good idea to start now.
As you can see on the triage page:
http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=triage There's now a documentation
section, it's recommended to read those articles carefully (don't
worry, it's not as complex as it looks, if you've ever used a bugzilla
you already know a lot of the information in those articles).
The communications methods will be:
- The BugSquad Mailing list:
https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-bugsquad
- Our own IRC channel #mageia-bugsquad on Freenode.
We're going to hold the BugSquad first meeting on IRC,
#mageia-bugsquad on Freenode at 20h UTC ('date -u' in terminal on your
system will show the time in UTC) on Tuesday the 25th of January.
Using IRC is quite simple, use any IRC client from the repos, Quassel,
Konversation, xchat-gnome, kvirc; most of them are configured to join
Freenode by default, you just join #mageia-bugsquad channel; easiest
way is typing this command in the input box (after you connect to
Freenode):
/join #mageia-bugsquad

Of course the day of the meeting changed! same time, next Tuesday,

Re: [Mageia-dev] looking for a padawan
Hello, so, if someone is looking for a mentor, now is the time to speak... I'm looking for a mentor :-) - people with packaging experience (this way, we can increase the packagers pool faster) I have some packaging experience. I created my first rpm package about ten years ago, and created a few since then. I guess I can say I'm comfortable with the packaging process with the exception of the rules specific to each distribution. In other words, I packaged stuff for my own use, without following any guidelines with regard to versioning, naming, etc. The mentoring I need most would be what is appropriate to do in a Mageia package, like where to put documentation (for example some docs go with a lib package, some others go in the devel package), how to use modern macros (I've seen a dist macro recently for example in a Fedora package), etc. - people not too far from my timezone (i'm in lyon, france, met) I'm in France too. I'm mostly interested in packaging new software. I often find myself wanting to test something, say a jackd-enabled application, and can't find it in the repository. Or some miscellaneous devel packages. But I'm willing to take over some unmaintained packages too. Let me know. Johnny

Re: [Mageia-dev] PGP keys and package signing

So we need a key for that. We also want to sign ISOs, maybe with a different key. So I think we can do the same as for packages key, we create new keys for software releases and for ISOs, and we sign those keys with the board@ key. And we can tell everybody that all files released by the project are always signed by a key that was signed by the board@ key. So we need to decide which keys we need, before fosdem : - for signing packages: packa...@mageia.org - for signing software: softw...@mageia.org - for signing ISOs : rele...@mageia.org Any other key needed ?
[Mageia-dev] Scripts to generate PGP key
Hello, I've made some scripts that can be used by board members at fosdem this weekend to generate board PGP key, after board has been elected : http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/gpg/README?view=markup It uses shamir's secret sharing scheme to split the key between all 6 board members, and 3 are required to use the key. The batch file used by gnupg to generate the key : http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/gpg/input/board.batch?view=markup The key expire in 400 days and the expiration date will have to be updated at the next fosdem.
