jfiyofel, thanks a lot yofel09:17
txomonhi, I just reported this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1062758 about the installation in text mode (the mode that you default use in alternative CDs and in mini-iso / netboot installations)10:02
ubot2Launchpad bug 1062758 in ubuntu "In text installation select and install programs menu needs improvement" [Undecided,New]10:02
txomonI had no idea on which packet to put it10:05
yofeltxomon: I'm not exactly sure either, the installer would be 'debian-installer', the install task selection is provided by 'tasksel' I believe, but I'm not sure if d-i uses that or has it's own menu10:42
txomonwell, that isn't really the package, as the meta packages are the config... no idea really yofel10:42

x64hello everyone15:21
penguin42hey15:22
x64i'm new to bug-fixing15:22
x64i've read the wiki15:22
x64and have tried the tutorials15:22
x64how do i find a bug which is good to start with ?15:24
dlentzhi x64, is there anything or packages you're interested in?15:24
penguin42x64: To fix or to triage?15:24
penguin42x64: To fix look for ones tagged with bitesize15:24
x64i wish gwibber was better :)15:24
x64thanks penguin42 , i'll sure do that15:25
dlentza good rule of thumb is to "scratch your itch" (for me, it was audio bugs, but I branched out into other stuff too)15:25
penguin42yeh fixing stuff that annoys you is good :-)15:25
x64i'm more interested in fixing than triaging... but don't have any prblm15:26
x64i'm looking at the bugs page of ubuntu in launchpad15:27
x64where does the bitsize tag appear ?15:27
mitya57x64: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize15:28
mitya57x64: also some easy-to-fix things are listed here:15:29
mitya57https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/BugFixingInitiative#New_contributors15:29
x64thanks mitya5715:29
x64mitya57 :15:30
x64what's the second link about ?15:30
x64is it like the tutorial about bumprace ?15:31
mitya57x64: ignore that, it seems that most of the bugs from there are fixed already15:31
x64ok15:32
jtaylorx64: here a couple of merges/syncs that could be worthwile for quantal http://paste.ubuntu.com/1264034/15:32
x64how do i search bugs with a particular tag ?15:32
mitya57x64: use advanced search: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?advanced=115:33
mitya57or use my link above and replace "bitesize" with your tag15:33
x64ok, got it15:33
x64i found this the simplest : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ftpcopy/+bug/30583115:36
ubot2Ubuntu bug 305831 in ftpcopy "spelling mistake in man page" [Low,Triaged]15:36
x64ya15:37
x64can somebody guide me to go about fixing it15:37
penguin42x64: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/fixing-a-bug.html15:38
penguin42x64: Remember to check upstream in debian and/or the original place the app comes from to get it fixed there15:39
x64okkk... i just couldn't understand the edit-patch part15:39
jtaylorspelling fixes aren't that useful in ubuntu15:40
jtaylorits best to forward these to upstream/debian15:40
x64i'll fix the spelling after branching it... but what next ?15:40
x64jtaylor : very true...15:40
x64but i just need to start15:41
penguin42x64: So the idea is to branch it, then make the fixed branch available on lp for merging15:41
penguin42x64: Then someone can look at it, agree or disagree with your change and press a button and it gets merged15:42
x64tell me about the edit-patch part15:42
penguin42x64: Debian packages start with a tar from upstream and then glue on a set of patches that fix individual issues, your change is to add an extra patch into that pile of patches15:43
x64okkkkk15:44
penguin42x64: edit-patch is a command from the devscripts package to make it easier to add patches15:44
x64so after fixing the spelling, what should be my next step ? edit-patch ?15:45
penguin42x64: It makes it a bit easier because there 3 or so different ways debian packages manage there patches, and I think it deals with all of them15:45
penguin42x64: Well, do you have an actual patch file?15:46
x64i just branched ftpcopy and have got a tar.gz file and a folder named debian15:47
penguin42it seems to be a bit of an odd package15:50
penguin42x64: That might not be a good one to start on, the package looks rather...odd15:51
penguin42(It seems to be using a different patching scheme from almost precisely everything else)15:51
x64that's surely not a good news15:52
penguin42actually I'll remove bitesize off it for that reason15:56
