Re: Refining MOTU Mentoring
Hello Morten, thanks for your response, Am Dienstag, den 21.08.2007, 23:02 +0200 schrieb Kjeldgaard Morten: As a new contributor, let me add a few comments, then. As it has been pointed out by others, the reviewing process can be quite frustrating. It is not the meticulous requirements to the packages, which I find rational and easy to understand, but rather the haphazard way you have to find reviewers. When asking how to get your package reviewed, the standard reply is try asking on irc. I have done that, of course, but I estimate the success rate to be only around 10%. For busy professionals, it can be quite difficult to spend time hanging out on irc. we noticed that too and I spend more time every day now to make reviews happen more quickly. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/CodeReviews points out how to help out there. http://daniel.holba.ch/sponsoring/ has an overview over the current status. To get something reviewed you basically just have to: * for main/restricted packages: file a explanatory bug, attach the patch, subscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors * for universe/multiverse packages: file a explanatory bug, attach the patch, subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors * for new packages: file a needs-packaging bug (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New) and mark it as 'fix committed' if you want to get it reviewed. Please let me know how that works out for you.

Re: Files added to a package? Patches or files in debian/?
Hello Morten, Am Dienstag, den 21.08.2007, 20:23 +0200 schrieb Morten Kjeldgaard: Is there a consensus on what to do when you are adding files to a package? I am thinking for example on a situation where I am authoring a complete autotools system to a software package, and upstream is, say, dead or unresponsive ;-) Of course, I can add these as patches against /dev/null, but that honestly seems a bit awkward. I don't think that's awkward - I've done it many times and patches from debian/patches have the advantage that you can aggregate added files in meaningful blocks, by adding all files that serve a certains purpose in one patch file.

Re: svk admin: buggy option handling?

If there's a fix available, the easiest thing would be to file a bug at http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/svk/+filebug - then link to the patch or attach it and subscribe ubuntu-universe-sponsors to it. Thanks a lot for letting us know.
