[19:23] ev1: debconf lock> you probably want something involving passthrough [19:26] cjwatson: noted; thanks [19:36] cjwatson, hi, I would like to get started with ubiquity development, what would be a good place to start off with, triaging bugs maybe [19:36] dhillon-v10: fixing bugs is more valuable for developers to spend time on than triaging them [19:37] feel free to start sending patches :) [19:37] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installer/Development [19:38] cjwatson, yah I read the wiki pages before :) I wanted to take on the task of preserving the home directory while installation, its can be accomplished easily all that we need is like a button that tells user that it can do it, I can mostly reuse the code from guided partitioning [19:39] cjwatson, this one here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityPreserveHome [19:40] that won't be an easy first task [19:40] and it requires discussion and design, not merely implementation [19:40] cjwatson, true :) its a pretty hard one but something that needs to be done [19:41] cjwatson, so I should do something else then ? [19:41] there's a great deal of bug-fixing to be done, and I would recommend starting with that [19:42] we could do with people verifying that old crashes have been fixed, *including references to the commits that fixed them* (this is important; don't just say "I can't reproduce this any more" because it's very common for installer bugs to only reproduce in pretty specialised circumstances) [19:43] we could also do with people going through crashes that still exist and fixing them [19:43] don't get too enthusiastic about closing bugs, it's better for us to improve the software than to keep the bug count artificially low [19:43] anyway, gone [19:50] cjwatson, nah I am still here
