| EzraR | if a backports request has a patch attached is there something I can do to keep it off the radar of patch reviewers? | 02:48 |
|---|---|---|
| EzraR | i cant unsubscribe ubuntu review team but it doesnt need reviewed | 02:48 |
| nigelb | EzraR: who reviews backports? | 03:04 |
| nigelb | sru team? | 03:04 |
| EzraR | bacubuntu backporters? | 03:11 |
| EzraR | nigelb: ubuntu bacporters | 03:11 |
| EzraR | backporters | 03:11 |
| EzraR | i guess | 03:12 |
| nigelb | can you point me to a typical backport request? | 03:13 |
| nigelb | EzraR: oh, wait, its off the radar of patch reviewers | 03:14 |
| nigelb | backports and requested against a different project | 03:14 |
| nigelb | for example lucid backports are requested here https://bugs.launchpad.net/lucid-backports | 03:14 |
| nigelb | s/and/are | 03:15 |
| EzraR | https://bugs.launchpad.net/lucid-backports/+bug/602733 | 03:16 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 602733 in lucid-backports "Please backport K3b 2.0.0 to lucid (affects: 1) (heat: 10)" [Wishlist,Fix released] | 03:16 |
| nigelb | EzraR: if you notice the launchpad project name, its not against ubuntu | 03:16 |
| nigelb | the patch review script only checks against ubuntu | 03:17 |
| EzraR | ok then i probably ran into because the person that filed the bug also set "also effects" to the package which they shouldnt have and I allready fixed | 03:17 |
| EzraR | thank you | 03:18 |
| nigelb | our script is a bit "aggressive" | 03:18 |
| nigelb | Please file a bug against ubuntu-review-overview if you feel it has encroached into backports, we'll modify our script :) | 03:19 |
| EzraR | no i dont think it really did, the bug reporter shouldnt have filed it against ubuntu | 03:20 |
| EzraR | although if the script skipped reports that also were against backports it might save some waisted energy | 03:21 |
| EzraR | not that there is a lot of such cases... | 03:21 |
| nigelb | hm, I'd encourage you to file a bug about it | 03:22 |
| EzraR | yeah now that i think about it it still gets ubuntu-review notified about it and if thats what you guys use to keep track of the queue it might affect the accuracy | 03:24 |

| nigelb | dholbach: thoughts on having a DD explain about BTS for next package training session? | 15:01 |
| nigelb | probably bug squad can benefit from it too | 15:01 |
| * nigelb will do recruiting :) | 15:01 | |
| dholbach | definitely | 15:01 |

| mac9416 | Hello, all. I'm a simple Python dev who wants to help with Cleansweep. I've never reviewed a patch before. Heck, I've never patched a file. I'm wondering if I can get come help reviewing this simple patch: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/leafpad/+bug/405576 | 22:11 |
| ubot4 | Launchpad bug 405576 in leafpad (Ubuntu) "Leafpad clean up GTK Include (affects: 3) (heat: 19)" [Undecided,New] | 22:11 |
| mac9416 | Thanks, ubot4. | 22:11 |
| mac9416 | I've managed to get the latest source for Leafpad, patch it, build the package, and install it. Everything appears to have worked fine. So, what now? | 22:13 |
| mac9416 | I'm supposing I should forward this thing upstream. Is that correct? | 22:23 |
| yofel | indeed, now to find out where to find that upstream.. | 22:27 |
| mac9416 | Hi, yofel. Question: could the upstream be something other than Debian or GNOME? | 22:28 |
| yofel | sure, we and debian package software from all around the web, launchpad also supports quite a few bug trackers for that reason | 22:28 |
| yofel | (for bug watches) | 22:29 |
| yofel | the package description sent me to http://tarot.freeshell.org/leafpad/ btw... | 22:29 |
| mac9416 | OK, but that doesn't mention anywhere to report bugs... | 22:30 |
| yofel | hm, there's http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/leafpad but that doesn't mention how to contact upstream either :( | 22:32 |
| mac9416 | Is it possible that its a GNOME project? | 22:32 |
| yofel | maybe send the patch to debian so we at least don't differ from them (maybe they know more) | 22:32 |
| mac9416 | k... | 22:33 |
| yofel | not sure about that, at least google only mentions it in relation to lxde.. | 22:34 |
| yofel | nigelb: can you elaborate on patches and the Debian BTS? | 22:34 |
| mac9416 | So, when I forward a patch upstream, basically what I'm doing is reporting a bug to the folks who run the project and asking them to apply or reject the patch? | 22:37 |
| yofel | yes, you report a bug at the upstream BT (or send a mail to their maling list for some projects) and add the patch to it | 22:39 |
| mac9416 | OK, what's a BT? :-) | 22:39 |
| yofel | sry, bug tracker ;) | 22:40 |
| mac9416 | Ah, kk. I'm new. :-P | 22:40 |
| mac9416 | Looks like I can use reportbug -B debian --attach=path.diff to send the bug report and patch to Debian. Sound right? | 23:04 |
| yofel | in general yes, maybe use '-T Patch' to add a tag too, also there's https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/Bugs and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/Usertagging | 23:06 |
| yofel | the wiki page uses 'reportbug --bts debian -P 'User: ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com' -P 'Usertags: origin-ubuntu maverick ubuntu-patch' -T patch' for example | 23:07 |
| mac9416 | Wow. Looks like I have some reading to do. | 23:08 |
| yofel | but as I said, I'm not sure there, we're supposed to get a session in #ubuntu-classroom about the Debian BTS soon | 23:08 |
| yofel | it's a whole ecosystem in itself ^^ | 23:09 |
| mac9416 | Cool. | 23:09 |
| mac9416 | Looks like I can use submittodebian to forward a patch. Nice. | 23:18 |
| mac9416 | Eh, maybe not. Looks like it expects _me_ to have made the diff. | 23:21 |
| mac9416 | Oopsy-daisy. | 23:27 |
| mac9416 | yofel, should I go ahead and forward that patch, or should I hang out and wait for nigelb? | 23:29 |
| yofel | hm, not sure, let's see if the others are there.. persia vish | 23:32 |
| mac9416 | Will the maintainer of the package be notified when a bug is reported? | 23:38 |
| yofel | actually, no idea, but I hope so | 23:44 |
| mac9416 | k | 23:46 |
