| tumbleweed | jtaylor: poke. when are you going to apply for MOTU? | 19:11 |
|---|---|---|
| jtaylor | you think I'm ready for that? | 19:17 |
| jtaylor | I'm just involved a couple of month | 19:17 |
| tumbleweed | 6 months is the minimum, but you are doing good work and are well involved in the community around here | 19:21 |
| tumbleweed | s/minimum/stated recommended minimum/ | 19:22 |
| jtaylor | I was planning on applying for dm when I ahve my 6 month, I'll also apply for motu then if you recommend it | 19:26 |
| micahg | jtaylor: tumbleweed +1, you've definitely have the community involvement and minimum time and good packaging work | 19:27 |
| * tumbleweed reckons you could go straight for MOTU, although the DMB recommends going via contributing developer | 19:28 | |
| micahg | no need to go for contributing developer unless you feel the need to hone your packaging skills more first | 19:28 |
| * jtaylor reading application process | 19:32 | |
| directhex | jtaylor, i don't advocate for DM, fwiw. someone's good enough for DD, or not good enough for DM, IMHO. | 19:36 |
| Laney | no | 19:42 |
| Laney | well I don't recommend that anyway | 19:42 |
| Laney | (UCD) | 19:42 |
| jtaylor | hm ucd seems just like an aknowldgement of my current status | 19:49 |
| jtaylor | so I could skip that | 19:50 |
| micahg | jtaylor: it's mainly for people that have been contributing to development, have sustained effort, but aren't there yet with the packaging skills | 19:50 |
| Laney | not necessarily, it's just a way of getting membership | 19:52 |
| directhex | micahg, that seems wholly inappropriate in this case | 19:52 |
| micahg | directhex: agreed | 19:52 |
| micahg | Laney: ubuntu-dev grants membership as well, if the skills + contribution are there, a person can go for at least PPU | 19:53 |
| Laney | I know | 19:53 |
| Laney | people can go for whatever they want though | 19:53 |
| micahg | I know you know :) | 19:53 |
| tumbleweed | anyway, jtaylor has the packaging skills, deserves membership, and can probably get good endorsements from a few people in this conversation :) | 19:57 |
| jtaylor | thx for your advice, I'll look into applying next week | 19:59 |
| sladen | Laney: as it happens ...I picked up a leadlet about bikes on trains in Germany. In the UK Brompton sponsor+publish a very good "bikes on trains" leaflet (which helpful points out that through the myriad of restrictions, Bromptons /are/ allowed on all services in the UK | 20:04 |
| Laney | sladen: oh, that sounds useful. If only Bromptons were something you'd want to take on a bike tour | 20:10 |
| Laney | probably 50ish miles per day + carrying camping kit, perhaps not | 20:11 |
| jtaylor | hm bug 823009 now needs an ffe as it wasn't confirmed before the freeze or? | 20:21 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 823009 in argparse (Ubuntu) "Sync argparse 1.2.1-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/823009 | 20:21 |
| tumbleweed | jtaylor: it should probably have an FFe request, yes. Which means an explanation for the necessity of the sync | 20:24 |
| jtaylor | it is a bit problematic | 20:25 |
| tumbleweed | the version we have, or the one you want to sync to? | 20:25 |
| jtaylor | the sync will likely introduce an upgrade failure, I spoke with barry about it and he prefers to jsut break it instead of adding a delta | 20:25 |
| tumbleweed | what do we gain from doing the sync now, and not in p? | 20:26 |
| tumbleweed | not causing this upgrade failure? | 20:26 |
| jtaylor | if we only sync in p we have to add a delta for the general users, if we sync now we can just tell the alpha testers how to fix it manually | 20:27 |
| jtaylor | the delta is a pretty ugly preinst | 20:27 |
| micahg | jtaylor: why not add the delta and sync again in P? | 20:27 |
| micahg | oh :( | 20:27 |
| jtaylor | ne the delta would ahve to be added to the version in debian | 20:28 |
| tumbleweed | jtaylor: the reason for the sync sounds valid. I'd prepare the FFe request (I won't be able to grant it, it's in main, but there is no FFe queue atm) | 20:28 |
| tumbleweed | s/I'd/Go ahead and/ | 20:29 |
| sladen | Laney: very well suited to the task. I did 20km in an <1 hour to get the ferry earlier this afternoon. I had camping kit (eg. stove, sleeping bag) aswell as the usual assortment of Debian kits and the like | 20:36 |
| sladen | Laney: low centre of gravity and a luggage system that doesn't throw the weight of the bike sideways when you go around a corner++ | 20:37 |
| Laney | tumbleweed: we can't do main FFes? I wasn't aware of that. | 20:42 |
| Laney | I thought everyone did everything. | 20:42 |
| Laney | sladen: I ought to try one really | 20:42 |
| tumbleweed | Laney: err I know we're there for universe, I assumed that meant we shouldn't do main | 20:44 |
| Laney | I just thought we were extra bodies, but maybe we'd pick universe stuff over main if there's a choice | 20:45 |
| tumbleweed | Laney: fair enough. it's not like there's motu-release any more | 20:46 |
| Laney | indeed, that's part of the point I think :-) | 20:53 |
