I've always approached reviewing (and/or sponsoring) as taking on any
additional burden, because I interpret reviewing to mean "gathering as
many contributors to FOSS as possible." Once the bug report is filed,
hopefully with a patch (if not, I generate the patch), I use
submittodebian as necessary.

Because I have sponsoring privileges, I interpret the above as "make
it as simple as possible for a FOSS contributor"...

For those with sponsoring privileges, it helps to have a standard.
Thanks for initiating this conversation.

Cheers,

ARM: new cross-distro@ list

2011-07-18 Thread Steve McIntyre 
Hi folks,

Many GNU/Linux distributions are doing some ARM porting; this tends to
result in work duplication, and there doesn't seem to be a general
purpose forum to bring ARM porters together.

We're inviting developers of GNU/Linux distributions with an interest
in ARM to join a new "cross-distro" list, hosted at Linaro:

   http://lists.linaro.org/mailman/listinfo/cross-distro

Any ARM Linux / Free Software discussion is welcome on the list, for
instance porting software to build on ARM, toolchain problems, dealing
with new ABIs, Thumb-2, NEON, kernel problems, announcement of new
tools etc.

Cheers,

Patch Piloting: how much of the extra mile do you go?

2011-07-18 Thread Daniel Holbach 
Hello everybody,

I'm interested to see how patch piloting works out for you as reviewers
and how much the workflows in our team differ.

When I did my shift last week I noticed that a couple of merge proposals
had their last comment saying "Would you mind forwarding the patch to
Debian/Upstream?" with no activity since. I guess many of us check the
bug or merge proposal later on again and dismiss it as something that
was already looked at. The problem is obvious: if the contributor has no
interest in doing this (or does not know how), it might sit there for a
very long time.

Another case I know of is "team branches" (read: non-UDD): in some case
the reply to the merge proposal was "we use these branches, can you
please update your branch?"

How do you deal with cases like this? I'm interested in this because of
different reasons:

 * Our review queue becomes quite large at times.
 * It would be nice if submitting a fix would be easy.
 * What can we do to improve things?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Have a great day,
 Daniel

Re: Please test AirPrint on Natty and Oneiric

Thank you very much.

Dear Mr Kamppeter,

I just configured the support for airprint on my ubuntu 11.04 system and
it works perfectly. The only problem I had following your instructions
(https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2011-June/033611.html)
was accessing the server settings in system-config-printer. I tried
http://localhost:631/admin which worked.

Thanx a lot! This is real fun!

Yours
Sven Sorgenfrey
