[00:24] 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? [00:28] jv13613: patching invovles some programming/packaging [00:28] jv13613: not just bug reporting [00:29] jv13613: there isnt like a patching repository (that im aware of) where you can "download patches" as you put it [00:29] i understand that. i would not mind using the commandline to build and test the package. [00:30] jv13613: ok so your looking to get into packaging? [00:30] jv13613: or bug squad? [00:30] packaging I guess. I understand that Bugsqaud just organized the bugs. right?? [00:31] 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] jv13613: for packaging: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete [00:32] Yes I have read both already [00:33] If you want to get into packaging the MOTU team is where you want to start at in #ubuntu-motu [00:33] thank u [00:33] yofel: was i missing something there? [00:35] not really, although for packaging the motu team is the right place to start at, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Contributing [00:35] you do need to read the packaging guide though anyway [00:37] yea, guess i didnt tell him what he wanted to hear === Guest26577 is now known as Adri2000 === pedro__ is now known as pedro_ [13:20] pedro_: hello fellow, as today i've got some free time, can i help you in something ?

What do you think? Should I add the report upstream and mark the bug as Triaged? [16:18] veger: unfortunately i have no experience with evolution in terms of triaging. Not exactly sure of the next step to take with that :/ [16:19] ok :) [16:19] veger: well you could check for duplicates...have you done that yet? [16:20] RedSingularity: noy yet, I'll start doing that first [16:20] *not [16:20] veger: yeah, make sure someone else has not reported it yet. If they have, mark a duplicate. [16:25] RedSingularity: It seems to me that there are no duplicates [16:25] I'll wait for an evolution 'specialist' to ask for further directions, thanks for helping [16:30] veger: no problem :) === maco2 is now known as maco [16:39] bug 786245, the report is not able to (stable) reproduce the bug (I asked for more info).

[20:51] any guess what the problem is? [21:57] 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?
