Uploading random new upstream releases considered harmful
Hi guys, I know Universe is supposed to be a place where we provide bleeding edge versions and crackful softwares but I believe it doesn't mean we can upload without caring about whether the package works or not. A few days ago, someone realized that xmlrpc-c was running a little behind upstream releases in Gutsy and decided to package the latest version. Fine. What really pissed me off though is that the updated package was totally broken (shipped nothing but /usr/share/doc//copyright and friends). What pissed me off even more is that the sponsor uploaded the package as is and fixed a FTBFS on amd64 in a -0ubuntu2 version which had the same problem [0]. Last but not least, it looks like xmlrpc-c quite changed between the 0.9 series and the current one... [1] Could people *please* be a little more careful when it comes to new upstream releases, especially libraries?

It can be different from the project homepage. The first one is relevant copyright-wise and the second one can be useful for users. Besides debian/control is machine-readable, not debian/copyright (although there is a proposal to change this in Debian). -- Jeremie /* ``Real programmers confuse Christmas and Halloween because DEC 25 = OCT 31.'' -- Unknown */ pgpMCKgpBanAT.pgp Description: PGP signature -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu

[VAC] Away from MOTU world for a little while
Hi everybody, Just so you know, life has been crazy lately either at work or at home and I barely have time or feel like doing anything Ubuntu related. Therefore I have decided to step aside from my involvement in the MOTU world (not that I was particularly active before) for a hopefully short time. Feel free to take care of all my pending merges. I wish you good luck for Gutsy. I hope those who were lucky enough to be in Spain had a great time and I will see around on IRC every now and then.

While I totally understand that it is much more convenient development-wise to have these packages in the official archive, my main concern is that most of our KDE users might want to try early-development KDE 4 applications and break parts of their system. I have had so many bad experiences giving support to people running into many weird situations with packages such as compiz that I am kind of reluctant when it comes to experimental packages in official releases. > Jonathan could probably host these packages in kubuntu.org repositories, but > this would limit the number of architectures as he can provide i386 only. > This is why he would like to have them in universe and use ubuntu buildd > infrastructure (and mirrors...). I don't know what is the status of this proposal but I think I have seen someone on #u-motu talking about using our new ubuntuwire build farm as unofficial build daemons. It may be worth the effort for KDE 4 and potentially other big transitions in Universe. My 2 cents.

My sincere apologies if you felt like my blog post was an attack towards you or any other member of the Kubuntu development team. I did not mean it to be offensive at all. The reason why I used a blog post instead of an email on this mailing-list is that I think people deserve the right to know what's happening during the development of their OS and I feel like planet.u.c has a wider audience than this maling list. Besides I had nothing to add to what had already been said in previous emails and did not want to clutter the list with a "me too" email.

Every wednesday should be a HUG DAY!
Hello Ubuntu Lovers! Dapper is now released and everyone has done a great job. Lots of people work within the Ubuntu BugSquad [1], some of Ubuntu's teams have set up weekly bug goals [2] and everybody is trying to get as many bugs fixed as possible for Edgy. If you ever wanted to get involved, this is the perfect time to get started. We're having a HUG DAY! [1] http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/BugState There is one Dapper task left before handling Edgy issues: our focus this time's HUG DAY will be to go through the old bugs list and check whether they are fixed in Dapper or not. A lot of Unconfirmed [3] or Untriaged [4] bugs need love too. It is the perfect time to get things sorted and prepare Edgy work. [3] http://tinyurl.com/hdhaw [4] http://tinyurl.com/nzlrx Planning is one thing, but we'll surely stick to our concept of success: the Hug Day. This is a very special Bug Day: on Hug Day, when someone closes a bug, then someone else should hug him/her. Why? This is a very special way for us to tell everyone that we love contributions! And triaging bugs is a really big contribution. In addition to that we added [4] - a page where you can list your most annoying bugs. Fixing these bugs will give extra points and extra hugs of course. [5] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay/BugsForExtraPoints Who can join the Hug Day? Everyone. You don't need to be a developer. You don't need to know to code. Everyone is welcome. If you don't know how to help, then just come and we'll explain you everything. In a Bug Day, you can * work in a nice team, * make sure the bug reporters' concerns are heard, * gather all the information needed so developers can fix bugs, * close useless bugs, * find out where the bugs come from, and eventually * work together with upstream to make changes happen, * get experience in hacking and fixing bugs. We will try to triage as many bugs as possible, but specifically look into the targets outlined at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBugDay Where to join the Hug Day? #ubuntu-bugs on freenode IRC. And you can go there every other day too! When to join the Hug Day? Next hug day is on July Wednesday 19th, 2006 In all timezones. But again, you can go there every day and help with triaging the bug tracking systems. We can't stress it enough: everyone can help. So join us for the Hug Day! Make a difference: join the Bug Day on Wednesday, July 19th. We will be in #ubuntu-bugs (Freenode) all day and night, and will be ready to answer your questions about how to help. If you're new to all this, head to http://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpingWithBugs Have a nice day, Jérémie (for the BugSquad) -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
