| maco | nigelbabu: in #ubuntu ? | 03:18 |
| nigelbabu | no up ^ | 03:19 |
| maco | cloudmonkee? | 03:19 |
| nigelbabu | yep | 03:19 |
| maco | they're someone who was asking in #ubuntu why lucid sucks and i said because not enough people test early alphas and not enough people fix the bugs they find | 03:19 |
| nigelbabu | haha | 03:20 |
| maco | so they asked how they could help fix that | 03:20 |
| maco | they know java and c++ and i told them about patch review, triaging, and alpha testing | 03:20 |
| maco | oh and bitesize bugs | 03:20 |
| nigelbabu | so they came here :) | 03:21 |
| maco | yeah. i was helping them in pm with how to get set up on launchpad and how to use it | 03:21 |
| maco | because reading the review guide they didnt know how to tag bugs or subscribe to them or anything | 03:21 |
| nigelbabu | then should have asked to do bug squad stuff for 2 weeks and then come to review | 03:22 |
| maco | they can read code...seemed this was a good place | 03:23 |
| maco | but i did explain a bit about the sort of debugging thats involved in triaging | 03:24 |
| nigelbabu | yeah, but fokls get lost about upstreaming sometimes, so we send them to do bug triage | 03:24 |
| nigelbabu | thats why bug control folks can get in quite easily | 03:24 |
| maco | well hopefully theyll be back and we can do a bit of mentoring | 03:25 |
| nigelbabu | yeah :) | 03:25 |
| nigelbabu | But thanks again :) | 03:25 |
| ddecator | i still need to learn this process.. | 03:25 |
| nigelbabu | did you see the pretty graphs for patch day? | 03:25 |
| nigelbabu | ddecator: did you go through the review guide? | 03:26 |
| maco | nigelbabu: no i did not | 03:26 |
| nigelbabu | maco: it should be in my mail to -devel, hold on, let me hunt down the link | 03:27 |
| ddecator | nigelbabu: not in detail, haha. i've been meaning to do it this weekend. i need to work on a software center wiki page tonight so idk if i'll get to it tonight or not, but if not tonight i'll try for tomorrow. i skimmed it and it seems pretty straight-forward, but i'm sure i'll run into questions when i actually review my first patch | 03:27 |
| nigelbabu | ddecator: just ask here, someone will reply, at least in scrollback | 03:28 |
| nigelbabu | maco: http://people.ubuntu.com/~nigelbabu/patch-day-2.jpg | 03:28 |
| ddecator | nigelbabu: i plan on it =) | 03:28 |
| nigelbabu | maco: we sorta got lazy towards the last few hours | 03:29 |
| maco | nigelbabu: thats a pretty good decrease! | 03:29 |
| nigelbabu | maco: oh yes! | 03:29 |
| nigelbabu | we're now at one page consistently | 03:30 |
| maco | yay :) | 03:30 |
| nigelbabu | maco: can make head or tail of this bug? bug 525395 | 03:32 |
| ubot3 | Malone bug 525395 in backuppc "Missing dependency to libtime-modules-perl" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/525395 | 03:32 |
| maco | nigelbabu: not til after midnight | 03:33 |
| maco | i have a paper due at midnight | 03:33 |
| nigelbabu | at midnight? | 03:33 |
| maco | thats 87 minutes | 03:33 |
| maco | yes, by email | 03:33 |
| nigelbabu | lol, ok :) | 03:33 |
| nigelbabu | maco: get off IRC! | 03:33 |
| maco | nigelbabu: you pinged me! | 03:34 |
| * nigelbabu bribes nhandler to k-line maco | 03:34 | |
| maco | only 2 pages left :) | 03:34 |
| nigelbabu | thats not much :) | 03:34 |
| nhandler | nigelbabu: No chance ;) | 03:41 |
| nigelbabu | nhandler: hahaha | 03:43 |
| nigelbabu | nhandler: can you put https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2010-May/030748.html on the fridge? | 07:00 |
| ddecator | oh, i remember what my noob question is. i'm assuming there is a way to apply the patches we review to the package instead of having to get the source and rebuild the package with the patch. how is that done? | 07:41 |
| nigelbabu | ddecator: wrong assumption | 07:42 |
| ddecator | dang | 07:42 |
| ddecator | i was hopeful =p | 07:43 |
| nigelbabu | ddecator: if you can read the code and make out if it works, you don't have to rebuild | 07:43 |
| ddecator | didn't know how that would work though.. | 07:43 |
| nigelbabu | or you can ask to forward upstream if sure the patch is working | 07:43 |
| ddecator | ah, ok. that'll be good practice to get me familiar with code then, haha. i don't have time to work on reviewing anything tonight, but at least now i know what to do for when i do finally get around to reviewing a patch.. | 07:44 |
| ddecator | thanks nigelbabu | 07:44 |
| nigelbabu | ddecator: no problem :) | 07:44 |
| nigelbabu | vish: got there ? | 10:55 |
