| jv13613 | Hi all. I would like to help fix bugs, but do not know how to program. I do realize there are other things I could do, but I would especially like to help get patches applied to a branch and get merged. Would it be ok if I just download patches, apply them to a branch, then upload to launchpad and ask for a merge proposal? And is there any way to attribute the patch to the person that posted it? | 00:24 |

| stlsaint | jv13613: patching invovles some programming/packaging | 00:28 |
| stlsaint | jv13613: not just bug reporting | 00:28 |
| stlsaint | jv13613: there isnt like a patching repository (that im aware of) where you can "download patches" as you put it | 00:29 |
| jv13613 | i understand that. i would not mind using the commandline to build and test the package. | 00:29 |
| stlsaint | jv13613: ok so your looking to get into packaging? | 00:30 |
| stlsaint | jv13613: or bug squad? | 00:30 |
| jv13613 | packaging I guess. I understand that Bugsqaud just organized the bugs. right?? | 00:30 |
| stlsaint | jv13613: bug squad members can do more than just triage bugs but for starters here ya go: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage | 00:31 |
| stlsaint | jv13613: for packaging: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete | 00:31 |
| jv13613 | Yes I have read both already | 00:32 |
| yofel | If you want to get into packaging the MOTU team is where you want to start at in #ubuntu-motu | 00:33 |
| jv13613 | thank u | 00:33 |
| stlsaint | yofel: was i missing something there? | 00:33 |
| yofel | not really, although for packaging the motu team is the right place to start at, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing | 00:35 |
| yofel | you do need to read the packaging guide though anyway | 00:35 |
| stlsaint | yea, guess i didnt tell him what he wanted to hear | 00:37 |

| veger | RedSingularity: thanks! What do you think? Should I add the report upstream and mark the bug as Triaged? | 16:05 |
| RedSingularity | veger: unfortunately i have no experience with evolution in terms of triaging. Not exactly sure of the next step to take with that :/ | 16:18 |
| veger | ok :) | 16:19 |
| RedSingularity | veger: well you could check for duplicates...have you done that yet? | 16:19 |
| veger | RedSingularity: noy yet, I'll start doing that first | 16:20 |
| veger | *not | 16:20 |
| RedSingularity | veger: yeah, make sure someone else has not reported it yet. If they have, mark a duplicate. | 16:20 |
| veger | RedSingularity: It seems to me that there are no duplicates | 16:25 |
| veger | I'll wait for an evolution 'specialist' to ask for further directions, thanks for helping | 16:25 |
| RedSingularity | veger: no problem :) | 16:30 |

| CarlFK | what's the site for posting screen shots? | 20:17 |
| CarlFK | and is there a cli to post an image? (better yet to take the shot and upload in one clicky) | 20:18 |
| CarlFK | http://imagebin.org/?page=add | 20:21 |
| * micahg thought xfce4-screenshooter could do it | 20:21 | |
| micahg | that's a GUI though (when you take the screenshot you can post) | 20:22 |

| veger | bug 698035 talks about a 'not sufficient enough' help text on the terminal, but the man pages are more sufficient/complete. Is it a good thing to close the report as Invalid and point to the manual pages? Or should I ask upstream whether they are willing to modify the terminal help text? | 21:57 |
