tomvHi. I'm kind of concerned about the ubuntu universe versions of some packages I maintain for Debian. Is there someone in the MOTU team who wants to look at libaqbanking and libchipcard2?09:39
ajmitchwhat problems are there? I see they're a few versions behind in edgy, but we've hit freeze time now - need to get approval to update09:41
tomvajmitch: the problems are a couple of Debian bugs ranging from important to RC, a memory leak, problems with accessing a class of USB chipcard readers and several bugs that concerning iTAN-based online banking.09:47
ajmitchsounds reasonable, can you look at the last wiki page in the topic & file bugs about these? I'd hate to ship your packages with RC bugs09:49
tomvajmitch: The problem is that these bugs, while no RC in the Debian sense (makes packages useless for everyone), make the packages completely dysfunctional for people affected, often with opaque error messages.09:49
ajmitchthat's still serious enough to get them into edgy09:50
ajmitch& we tend to trust the debian maintainer's word on this09:51
tomvajmitch: Sorry, but I do believe that unless someone really wants online banking in edgy and will subscribe to the upstream mailing list, this project is doomed to fail.09:51
tomvajmitch: That's very nice, but I'm not that trustworthy. :)09:51
ajmitch'this project' being?09:51
ajmitchI've seen some of your packaging :)09:51
tomvThe project "having consistently good packages is Ubuntu".09:51
ajmitchs/seen/inherited/09:51
tomvHey, I'm only responsible for the diff. :)09:52
tomv(the interdiff, that is...)09:52
tomvajmitch: Really, I'm not in a too good position to summarize all problems either, because I don't have a lot of bank accounts to transfer money around. :)09:53
ajmitchhehe09:53
jlduggeri wouldn't mind online banking, but i think my bank does09:53

ajmitchtomv: just join us :)09:54
tomvajmitch: OK, so I can try to make the changelog of upstream available in a more ready format, they're pretty good at documenting their fixes.09:55
ajmitchwe need to get that list of bugs that are closed in debian & waiting for us to grab - keybuk did generate them at some point09:56

ajmitchBurgundavia: is there some way you can redirect those MoM reports by keybuk?09:57
Burgundaviayes, manually09:57
ajmitchso we have to pester keybuk to get him to change the address?09:57

gnomefreakcongrats zul and imbrandon04:29
zulthanks..04:29
TheMusoCongrats guys.04:29
imbrandonthanks ;)04:29
TheMusoWelcome. You'll have fun.04:30
TheMusoTis an awesome experience.04:30
imbrandongnomefreak, probably as there are alot of people seeming to use svn snapshots although a release would be nice04:30
imbrandonTheMuso, you not makin this one ?04:30
gnomefreakimbrandon: i dont remember a release in site (i think thats normal for them though)04:31
TheMusoVery likely not. Haven't received an email yet04:31
imbrandonahh04:31
imbrandon;(04:31
TheMusoSince I went to the last one as well. :)04:31
TheMusoAh well.04:31
imbrandontrue , from what i've been told the dont sponsor 2 times in a row afaik04:31
imbrandononly like ever other time or somethign04:31
TheMusoThats what I've heard as well04:31
imbrandoni dunno for sure though04:32
gnomefreakHawkwin^d  has a great repo for it and its updated alot i was trying to get into source-o-matic04:32
=== StevenK is still pondering Debconf 7
TheMusoWorth a shot anyway04:32
imbrandonTheMuso, definately04:32
imbrandongnomefreak, yea i'm aware, honestly i am in hopes Hawkwind will do the MOTU thing and keep it upto date in edgy+1 universe04:32
imbrandon;)04:33
TheMusoAnd I'm not very geographically close.04:33
imbrandonahh very true04:33
TheMusoAs long as there is a good way people outside the conference can participate, I'm happy.04:33
TheMusoAlthough I still don't like how the the schedules will be done from day to day.04:33
gnomefreakimbrandon: i think that sounds like a great idea if he will accept. he still hasnt got a edgy repo yet and its not installible on edgy yet04:33
imbrandoni'll definately try to keep on peoples minds i rember the hardships from last time04:33
TheMusoWell, perhaps next time, Hobbsee can go for sponsorship as well. I reckon she'd get it.04:35
HobbseeTheMuso: yeah, maybe.04:36
StevenKTheMuso: There might be other factors.04:36
TheMusoStevenK: I am well aware of that04:36
=== StevenK is still trying to decide between Debconf 7 and a UDS
imbrandonStevenK, UDS ;)04:37
StevenKI suspect my wife will incredibly dislike the answer.04:37
TheMusoAnyway, I really must get to bed.04:37
imbrandonStevenK, you cringe when we ask you about DD stuff ;)04:37
imbrandonso UDS ;)04:37
imbrandonTheMuso, gnight bro04:37
StevenKTheMuso: Night04:37
TheMusoNight guys.04:37
Hobbseenight TheMuso04:39
HobbseeStevenK: UDS :P04:39
StevenKimbrandon: The problem is that Debconf 7 is in Edinburg. Where my wife *really* wants to visit, since her fathers family hail from around there.04:39
StevenKimbrandon: I feel, like Keybuk does, that I'm not a part of the DD community any more, which is sad. This makes me reconsider Debconf 704:41
Riddellbut but... Edinburgh!04:42
imbrandonhehe04:42
StevenKThe next UDS needs to happen in July 2007 :-P04:43
StevenKIn Edinburgh04:43
imbrandonheh04:43
Riddelltoo right, my flat has about 6 times the bandwidth of certain other ubuntu conferences04:45
imbrandonhahaha04:46
imbrandoni am thinking googleplex will have plenty o bandwidth though04:46
Riddellplus that would mean having 100% of the interesting free software community conferences in Britain04:46
imbrandonmaybe by that time i will have moved to the EU also ;)04:46

HawkwindNo problem.  Just been really busy with a lot of things so the Edgy thing has been kind of pushed off05:45
HawkwindBut I know it's in high demand right now as we are nearing the release05:45
gnomefreaki understand05:45
gnomefreakHawkwind: this is just a thought atm that was thrown around but how would you feel about maintaining edgy+1 packages in universe for e17?05:46
HawkwindHeh.  I saw that convo earlier.  It's something I'm thinking about.  Just building packages for Mandriva for my repo and Ubuntu take a lot of time.  But definitely something I enjoy doing.05:47
gnomefreakcool05:48
HawkwindI feel I've still got some learning to do when it comes to building debs and doing them good enough to get approved for REVU.  I'm curious if the E17 debs would pass or not currently05:48
=== gnomefreak thinks they are fine but you would hav eto have someone more into packaging for that answer

LaserJockdholbach: can I get a second of your time before the meeting starts?07:04
dholbachLaserJock: you might try07:04
LaserJockdholbach: I was wondering what your reasoning behind getting goffice from Debian experimental was07:05
LaserJockdholbach: does gnumeric really require that version?07:05
dholbachLaserJock: when? where?07:05
=== No1Viking [n=micke@h-83-140-104-74.ip.rixbredband.se] has joined #ubuntu-motu
LaserJocksorry07:05
LaserJockedgy's gnumeric depends on libgoffice-0-307:05
LaserJockbut that is a Debian experimental package07:06
LaserJockthat i've been told is quite unstable07:06
dholbachit needs it07:06
dholbachthat's why07:06
dholbach1.7.0 is the gnumeric "unstable" branch, it needs that version of goffice07:06
LaserJockok07:06
dholbachand the only change in goffice was afaik a change in arguments of a function07:06
dholbachwhich brought a soname change07:06
dholbachso there are no huge differences07:07
dholbachiirc07:07
dholbachit's been a while since we did that07:07
LaserJockheh, except I'm trying to get a package in that FTBFS with that version of goffice07:07
LaserJockoh well, edgy+1 I think ;-)07:07
dholbachMon,  3 Jul 200607:07
dholbachI'm sure it's a change in arguments07:08
LaserJockI just wondered if gnumeric's dependency was strict on that version of goffice07:08
dholbachwhere is the build log?07:08
LaserJockI don't have one07:08
LaserJockwe were trying to get a package from Debian in last minute07:08
dholbachhow do you know it ftbfs?07:08
LaserJockanyway, it's a little late07:08
LaserJockbecause the author and Debian maintainer told me so07:08
dholbachwell07:09
dholbachit'd be nice to see the last messages from the ftbfs07:09
LaserJocksure07:09
LaserJockit could be a small thing07:09
dholbachi'm sure there's not much required to fix it again07:09
LaserJockbut it's past Universe Freeze07:09
LaserJockso I'll probably defer it to Edgy+107:09
LaserJockI just wish I  found out sooner07:09
LaserJockas I would have tried to fix it07:09
LaserJockdholbach: ok, I'll leave you alone now07:10
LaserJock;-)07:10
dholbachLaserJock: if we can fix it with a UVF we should do it07:10
dholbachLaserJock: but I'm not keeping you here - have a nice day07:10

=== bddebian pats ajmitch on the back.. *there there*
sharmshow about another motu-school?10:01
LaserJocksure10:02
bddebianLaserJock: Yeah, why not give a class on How to be a Raging MOTU-Aholic? ;-P10:02
LaserJockheh10:02
LaserJocksubtitle: "How to kill yourself and burn out in 12 easy steps"10:02
bddebianhehe10:02
hubmotu for dummies10:03
hub"sorry your application failed"10:03
LaserJockwe have really 2 problems that we need to attack10:03
LaserJock1) we need more people10:03
LaserJock2) we need more quality people10:03
bddebian3) We need leadership10:03
ajmitchbddebian: you can solve 3)10:04
LaserJockperhaps10:04
crimsunthen get sabdfl to employ barry10:04
bddebianajmitch: Howso?10:04
ajmitchbddebian: step up & do it10:04
ajmitchsame goes for anyone10:04
LaserJockwhat we might want to think about is using the Teams more for leadership10:04
LaserJockit's a bit overwhelming to try to lead MOTU as a whole10:04
bddebianajmitch: 1) I don't believe I have the skillz.  2) I'm a little screwed for time ATM.  Possibly after November10:04
bddebiancrimsun: Haha, core-dev wouldn't even have me, you think Canonical would? :-)10:05
LaserJockI don't know, maybe jono would have some ideas10:05
LaserJockhe's supposed to be the community guru ;-)10:05
crimsunI'm devoting essentially all my free time to ubuntu, but this pace simply is not sustainable10:06
LaserJockexactly10:06
LaserJockmine is neither10:06
LaserJockI'm pretty close to taking an extended Ubuntu holiday10:06
bddebianI was too until work picked up :-(10:06
=== dholbach hugs crimsun
bddebianAnd I don't feel like I even make a freakin' dent10:07
LaserJockwe simply can't put all of MOTU on 5-10 people10:07
robitaillethen you need to attract new fresh blood :)10:07
LaserJockrobitaille: thanks for the insight ;-)10:08
bddebianI had two contact me for "sponsorship" but seem to have lost them.. :-(10:08
crimsunfresh blood is only part of the issue. We need people can /pour time/ into motu.10:08
amachuhi10:08
bddebianSometimes it's hard to give direction when feeling chaotic yourself10:08
crimsunwho can , even10:08
ajmitchI swore that I wasn't going to be doing ubuntu until 2AM last night10:08
LaserJockor at least a lot that can give a little ;-)10:08
ajmitchbut I ended up doing it anyway10:08
robitailleI'm pointing a finger at myself here....but lack of time keep getting into the way of expanding my ubuntu partipation in things like MOTU10:08
LaserJockI think the big thing is10:09
=== ajmitch is *meant* to be working only part-time & devoting the rest of the time to ubuntu
ajmitchbut work needs me for more10:09
LaserJockright now it seems to be a truly active and good MOTU takes virtually a full time commitment10:09
bddebianAye10:10
LaserJockthat's not a sustainable volunteer model,  IMO10:10
ajmitchto really get into it, it does10:10
ajmitchmostly because there's little way that someone can just spend an hour or two a week10:10
crimsun(to point we anticipated this back in hoary and even mused about paying people to do maintenance)10:10
=== bddebian raises his hand! ;-P
LaserJockso I think we might have to put our thinking caps on10:11
LaserJockand look at ways we can lower the required time commitments while still keeping good MOTUs10:11
crimsunlowered time commitments isn't going to happen imo10:11
bddebianAye, I was just going to say that10:12
LaserJockwhy not?10:12
LaserJockright now we just burn people up and the go away10:12
bddebianWell the NEW crap to maintaining existing crap grows exponentially to my point of view10:12
LaserJockone thing I've found, is that if you go away for even a couple weeks10:12
LaserJockit takes quite a bit to get back in the game10:13
bddebianThe more stuff we review means the more stuff to maintain the next "go-round"10:13
LaserJockyes10:13
bddebianLaserJock: Agreed, that's where I think we need leadership / direction to set "priority"10:13
LaserJockI really wish we could focus less on NEW packages10:13
lophytewhy not split the MOTU up into teams?10:13
lophytelike subteams.. have one that only works on new packages10:13
bddebianBased on what?  There is some of that now10:13
LaserJockit is, sorta10:14
lophyteah10:14
LaserJockI don't think the teams are used effectively though10:14
crimsunthe problem is that you need a team of experienced MOTU to handle new candidate packages10:14
=== givre [n=flo@APuteaux-152-1-12-61.w82-120.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #ubuntu-motu
=== yosch [n=yosch@lns-bzn-55-82-255-190-3.adsl.proxad.net] has joined #ubuntu-motu
LaserJockyes, I think it is a mistake to push MOTU hopefuls at REVU and new packages10:15
crimsunthe opportunity cost of shifting existing MOTU to that solely is quite high10:15
=== ubuntu-es [n=ubuntu@201.230.39.149] has joined #ubuntu-motu
slomoLaserJock: completely agreed10:16
lophytewell, I'm wanting to get involved.. and I contributed a package.. but my problem is the fact that I'm not exactly sure how to fix broken packages10:16
LaserJockpeople certainly get a lot of satisfaction of seeing their package getting uploaded10:16
bddebianWhy have we lost so damn many? :-(10:16
slomoLaserJock: but people come here with the will to package something10:16
LaserJockI think we need to push maintainership more10:16
bddebianLaserJock: I don't disagree but I'm not sure that's possible given the ratio of packages to MOTUs10:17
slomoLaserJock: maintainership as in build teams that care for a specific set of packages? like the telepathy example?10:17
LaserJockperhaps we could even have a basic REVU freeze for one cycle10:17
lophyteLaserJock: you mean like a dedicated person to a certain number of packages?10:17
crimsungeser: are you planning to apply for membership + MOTU anytime soon?10:17
LaserJockno uneccesary NEW packages10:17
LaserJockjust focus on the packages we have10:17
BazziRLaserJock: that produces bad reputation imo10:18
LaserJockwhy?10:18
gesercrimsun: yes10:18
crimsungeser: excellent10:18
LaserJockwe are doing Debian+10:18
BazziR"ubuntu does not want new packages"10:18
LaserJockDebian doesn't have a bad rep for it's number of packages10:18
slomobut in debian someone specifically cares for one package10:19
lophytewell, if you guys would like a newbies PoV... I've read the packaging docs and I have a general idea of how packaging works, but I'm still not exactly sure how to fix packages.. I've downloaded a couple and looked at them and really had no idea where to go from there.. perhaps others are having the same problem and thus there isn't a great number of volunteers10:19
crimsunhonestly, we need to reimplement a release-exception "fast track" as we did during hoary where membership + MOTU were gained in one step. People like Fujitsu_ (if he weren't already a MOTU) and geser would be my candidates.10:19
LaserJockI think it's a little insane to think we can put in packages Debian doesn't, *and* manage our existing divergence10:19
BazziRlophyte: yes I've got the same problem...10:19
gesercrimsun: have I already the requirements for membership fulfilled or do I need to do more?10:19
crimsungeser: imo you certainly have10:20
slomoimho we should get a bunch of teams for specific sets of packages ready to care at least for the important parts of universe... and then we can care about getting NEW packages in and forming teams around them...10:20
slomogeser: with your number of syncs, merges, whatever you definitely have10:20
bddebianBut that still comes back to my question.  Who says what Universe packages are "important"?10:21
ajmitchok, back at keyboard10:21
lophyteI've got a suggestion...10:21
ajmitchbddebian: I pick & choose10:21
LaserJockbddebian: I do darn it! ;-)10:21
bddebianSweet10:21
ajmitchlike the science team does10:21
slomobddebian: packages that people care about are important10:21
bddebianslomo: And you know which ones those are?10:21
lophytethe current MOTU "mentorship".. how exactly does it work? is it just a matter of a newbie having contact with a certain MOTU?10:21
ajmitchcrimsun: I still see quality problems ahead10:21
BazziRwouldn't it be possible to track the popularity? and if you see "hey 50,000 people want X" you mark it as vital?10:21
LaserJockit's not as easy as one might think10:22
slomobddebian: i guess you have a number of packages that you like... or a specific area of packages. these are the important packages (for you)10:22
bddebianBazziR: It's tough unless you have something like popcon but that requires user effort10:22
ajmitchBazziR: popcon is opt-in10:22
crimsunajmitch: intractable, yes10:22
bddebianslomo: Right but that is just or "you" or "me" not the user community who is supposed to be who we are supporting isn't it?10:23
LaserJockbddebian: got a better way?10:23
LaserJockforums! ;-)10:23
bddebianheh10:23
bddebianLaserJock: No, unfortunately I don't10:23
LaserJockok, some here are some ideas:10:24
LaserJock1) get good people into MOTU faster10:24
LaserJock2) utilize teams more10:24
LaserJock3) provide better decision making information (unmet deps, etc.)10:24
bddebianSounds great, make it so #1 ;-P10:25
LaserJock4) let the uberMOTUs focus on UVFe and things like that10:25
LaserJockand reviewing NEW10:25
bddebianWho are the uberMOTUs?10:25
LaserJockwe'll have to figure that out10:25
slomoreviewing NEW is critical10:26
crimsunthe ones handling UVF atm10:26
slomoespecially considering license and copyright stuff...10:26
bddebianslomo: Why?  More stuff to maintain?10:26
LaserJock5) less focus on REVU and NEW packages and more on maintaining what we have10:26
bddebianLaserJock: Sounds like we have dissenting opinions on that point :-)10:27
slomooh i thought with reviewing NEW you meant reviewing the NEW queue and deciding which stuff can go into the archive etc ;)10:27
LaserJockon 5)10:27
crimsunbddebian: packaging and licensing intricacies.10:27
LaserJockslomo: sorry, I was thinking more of REVU10:27
bddebianAye, that is what I thought you meant10:27
LaserJockmy point being10:27
LaserJockthat if we have good teams10:28
lophyteLaserJock: I've got a suggestion for #110:28
bddebiancrimsun: Yeah and that's tough even for me.  I don't, no do I want to, know/care much about licensing stuff unfortunately :-(10:28
LaserJockthen any NEW packages that come out of those teams will be easier to handle10:28
=== Mirrado [n=Mirrado@20150036073.user.veloxzone.com.br] has joined #ubuntu-motu
LaserJockI'll give a for instance,10:28
=== Mirrado [n=Mirrado@20150036073.user.veloxzone.com.br] has left #ubuntu-motu []
LaserJockas MOTU Science lead, I'd be willing to review science apps10:29
LaserJockand I'd be more so if the NEW packages came from the team10:29
=== bddebian makes no comment
LaserJockbddebian: please do10:29
LaserJockmy problem with REVU is there are a lot of packages and it's rather disorganized10:30
LaserJockI think reviewers are often spending more time on a package then the packagers10:30
slomoLaserJock: you should become some kind of MOTU manager... your ideas and thoughts are good :)10:31
LaserJockslomo: I would be willing to be a part of a MOTU manager team10:31
ajmitchLaserJock: do it10:31
LaserJockbut I think it's going to kill use if we only look to 1 person to do these things10:32
ajmitchwe don't want rule-by-committee10:32
LaserJockpart of a community volunteer model, IMO, would be having enough redundancy that if a person goes on vacation10:32
LaserJockor has to work on some RL stuff for a few weeks10:32
LaserJockeverything doesn't fall apart10:32
LaserJockajmitch: we are more or less ruled by commitee's, aka CC and TB10:33

lophyteLaserJock: I think it would be beneficial, if this isn't happening already, for MOTU "mentoring" to go a step further than what I've seen, and actually have a MOTU and a newbie sit down together for an hour on IRC or something, and work on the same package10:36
LaserJockyes, that can be helpful10:37

LaserJockcbx33 is an exception of course ;-)10:39
crimsunmentoring is on-going10:39
cbx33*bah* - i agree with you10:39
lophytenot for them to be full-fledged MOTUs, no, but it'd be enough to start them in the right direction, rather than being kinda lost10:39
cbx33lophyte, hmmm10:39
=== nixternal would like to get more involved in here, just as long as someone is willing to hold my hand a little bit
LaserJocklophyte: ok, but we are all here10:40
nixternalAND NO I WILL NOT KISS ON THE FIRST DATE!10:40
cbx33whilst i agree with you in some respects10:40
nixternal;D10:40
ajmitchit only took about about 5-6 years to learn how to package10:40
cbx33and this is just my opinion here10:40
crimsunnixternal: I see you've aready hooked up with imbrandon10:40
ajmitchnixternal: tkae your medicine..10:40
nixternalwhoa whoa10:40
LaserJockhaha10:40
Plugnixternal: you're going to explode one day, I'm sure of it ;)10:40
nixternalimbrandon has hooked up with everyone, that cheater ;)10:40
cbx33but kinda knowing how and where to get the help......is more important than being shown how to pacakge10:40
superm1haha10:40
nixternalajmitch: im waiting for you to ship me a new batch of that medicine ;)10:41
crimsunlophyte: mentoring is on-going10:41
LaserJockok, so here is something we need to also consider10:41
lophyteI agree10:41
LaserJockmentoring and MOTU creation seems to be taking a rather large part of our time10:42
nixternalPlug: i think i already have exploded...now there are bits and pieces of me trying to pick up more stuff ;)10:42
LaserJockfor some MOTUs is virtually all they do10:42
LaserJockfor other not10:42
LaserJockbut the question is, are we being efficient in our efforts10:42
cbx33LaserJock, whilst i'd love for someone to sit and have someone teach me10:42
PlugSomething I'm not quite sure of - in Debian, its common to become a developer just to package your own stuff10:42
Plugbut if you're a MOTU, it seems you're expected just to be one of the big group working on syncs, etc10:43
cbx33i think leanring on my own has been a great expereince10:43
Plugis that because no new development is supposed to happen in Ubuntu - it should be in Debian?10:43
ajmitchmorning Plug10:43
cbx33brb10:43
ajmitchPlug: we try & encourage people to get stuff into debian10:43
ajmitchwhich a whole other world of pain10:44
LaserJockPlug: much of that comes from our team maintenance strategy10:44
crimsuncbx33: one is never confined to the mentoring process. In fact, you would be ideal for mentoring others.10:44
cbx33crimsun, true....but if I started I'd be worried that I'd rely on the mentoring10:44
ajmitchI'd love for someone to have taught me :)10:44
cbx33because I "know it's right"10:44
dholbachnight fellas10:44
crimsunnight daniel10:44
LaserJockcya dholbach10:45
cbx33rather than trying and learning from my mistakes ;)10:45
cbx33and I made a fair few10:45
LaserJocksome people learn differently too10:45
LaserJocksome people only learn by doing it themselves10:45
=== dholbach hugs you all
LaserJockother's learn by reading a book10:45
dholbachyou guys rock!10:45
crimsunright, that's the point I'm making. Of course mentoring isn't the only way.10:45
LaserJockmentoring in a way though can fulfill all that10:45
nixternalcbx33: i hear you..im sick of NOT learning from my mistakes, and im sick of making mistakes others did when Linux was just a dream ;)10:45
LaserJockif the mentor identifies the learning still of the mentee and then directs them to the right place10:46
PlugLaserJock: LaserJock see, I'd be interested in joining MOTU for a small number of packages I maintained, but I'm not sure either how quickly I'd be up to speed, or if I have the time, for the general super syncing/revuing/etc that the wonderful MOTUs here do10:46
LaserJockPlug: that's fine10:46
LaserJockwe have teams10:46
LaserJockthat's nothing new10:46
LaserJockok, so quickly, can we identify a few key problems we are having in MOTU land10:47
LaserJockI see maybe:10:48
LaserJock1) reviewing10:48
LaserJock2) lack of prioritized general task lists10:49
LaserJock3) people fall throw the cracks too easily10:49
LaserJocks/throw/through/10:49
ajmitch(too much crack)10:49
LaserJockheh10:49
Plug(plumber's crack)10:49
LaserJockanybody want to add more?10:50
ajmitchbad image10:50
ajmitchpeople expect MOTUs to 'do it all'10:50
lophyteI think #2 is a big one, and that might be one of the reasons that hopefuls are discouraged10:50
ajmitchso that new MOTUs are expected to jump on REVU & start reviewing, for example10:50
crimsun#2 subsumes #1 and #310:51
LaserJockajmitch: so maybe 4) lack of MOTU definition and skill sets10:51
nixternal#5 nixternal is always in the way10:51
lophyteI think the task lists would be a big help...10:51
lophyteI wanna help, but I'm not exactly sure where or how to help10:52
nixternallook at lophyte go, he gets a sip of the membership drug on now he is on a rampage ;)10:52
ajmitchblame me10:52
lophyteI was told to play around with Edgy packages w/unmet deps and try to fix them, but I'm not exactly sure how.. that's the problem for me10:52
ajmitchI was meant to setup the merge list but didn't get to it10:52
Plugajmitch: you do far too much already.  lets blame someone else for a change! :)10:52
ajmitchPlug: no, I barely do anything10:53
lophytenixternal: nah, I've been a bit involved with MOTU.. just been busy lately :P10:53
LaserJock ajmitch I think that's a symptom, but not the problem ;-)10:53
Plugyou had me fooled10:53
superm1so when you guys are saying task lists - why not integrate more into REVU, its a good central location?  Like a page listing all bugs with MOTU on the list to CC or assign to?10:53
LaserJocksuperm1: because we are trying to move to LP10:54
superm1oic10:54
LaserJockwe actually did have a nice task list python script on revu for merge/sync for dapper10:54
bddebianYeah10:54
ajmitchLaserJock: what I was talking about ~2 min ago10:54
LaserJockI know10:55
bddebianajmitch: Who needs to teach you, when you already know everything? :)10:55
ajmitchbddebian: I said taught, and I don't know everything10:55
LaserJockok, how's this for a plan:10:56
LaserJockI'll try to take on an interim role of MOTU manager, work up (with help ;-) ) some stuff on identifying problems and solutions, maybe talk with jono a bit10:57
LaserJockand by UDS Mountain View have an actionable plan10:57
ajmitchah, LaserJock the MOTU celebrity10:58
LaserJockI sooo don't want that10:58
crimsunwe can set priorities based on the release cycle. At the beginning of the release cycle, we need to focus on: 1), 2), 3) in descending priority. After autosync stops, we shift to this order: 2), 3), 1). After main UVF, we shift to ... After upstream UVF, we shift to... and so on.10:58
LaserJockyep10:58
ajmitchcrimsun: yes, I was thinking of writing up a general release schedule earlier10:58
ajmitch'earlier' only being about 2 hours ago :)10:58
LaserJockI think it's most confusing for people when they come in mid release10:59
lophytethat's me10:59
