| Aaron | hey sorry to ask if i want to adopt the package "xchat" they told me to speak in here? | 03:16 |
|---|---|---|
| micahg | Aaron: so, what do you want to do with it? upstream development seems stalled | 03:19 |
| Aaron | oh, | 03:19 |
| Aaron | i though it was still alive | 03:19 |
| micahg | Aaron: if you know the package well, you could triage bugs for it | 03:20 |
| Aaron | yeah | 03:20 |
| micahg | Aaron: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/HowToTriage , also #ubuntu-bugs for help with that | 03:20 |
| micahg | Aaron: in fact, bug triage is one place we're especially shorthanded in Ubuntu since we don't have dedicated maintainers | 03:24 |
| Aaron | you mean reporting bugs and such? | 03:24 |
| micahg | we inherit most of the packaging work from Debian | 03:24 |
| micahg | no, not reporting, triaging | 03:25 |
| Aaron | oh | 03:25 |
| Aaron | you mean fixing bugs and stuff like that. | 03:25 |
| micahg | we have 110k open bugs in Ubuntu and over 50% are in the new status which is usually untriaged | 03:25 |
| bkerensa | micahg: I submitted a mp to refresh update.cfg in xubuntu-meta just wanted to ping you since it seems like you have been doing that recently | 08:58 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| micahg | bkerensa: whoever does the first meta update would do that anyways, and it's not worth an upload just for that | 14:55 |
| micahg | oh well, laney merged it | 14:56 |
| bluesabre | Whoa, was not aware that there is an android irc client | 15:27 |
| * bluesabre is ashamed | 15:27 | |
| GridCube | there are many | 15:29 |
| GridCube | theres even weechat and irssi | 15:29 |
| elfy | knome: you about over the weekend or evenings | 15:31 |
| * micahg will probably forget about the UDD branch by the time we need to update the meta | 15:31 | |
| knome | elfy, i'm here now | 16:42 |
| knome | elfy, but i should be around on the weekend too | 16:42 |
| elfy | sorry knome was miles away - figuratively speaking | 17:50 |
| knome | heh, np | 17:50 |
| elfy | weekend will probably be better for me if that's ok - I just want to tie up this qa lead thing so I know what's expected from me :) | 17:52 |
| knome | yup, np | 17:52 |
| knome | just a quick note | 17:52 |
| knome | we will have two betas | 17:52 |
| knome | and do testing before that as needed - but we should have a relatively stable system for beta | 17:52 |
| knome | so we might want to soft-schedule some testing sessions (with no freezes) | 17:52 |
| knome | and the rest of the testing should be done after we've landed for example a new feature | 17:53 |
| elfy | yea - personally I think that 'constant' testing unless there is a specific need is better if we can do that | 17:53 |
| elfy | snap - my thoughts as well | 17:53 |
| knome | ok, great | 17:53 |
| ochosi | (actually some testing could already be done, specifically on menulibre and gtk-theme-preferences) | 17:53 |
| knome | all the freezes will be later | 17:53 |
| ochosi | (both available in ppas) | 17:53 |
| knome | but we can't miss them this time | 17:53 |
| knome | the release team will be much more prompt with the freezes | 17:54 |
| elfy | indeed not knome | 17:54 |
| knome | at least they told they will, and i hope that's true ;) | 17:54 |
| knome | because that's the only way the freezes have a (social) meaning | 17:54 |
| elfy | I'd agree - a freeze should be a freeze and if things miss then they miss | 17:55 |
| knome | but apart from these things there shouldn't be much changing | 17:55 |
| elfy | but it's not April yet ;) | 17:55 |
| knome | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseSchedule | 17:56 |
| elfy | yep - try and remember that I wasn't anything to do with QA or testing other than doing testing last time ;) | 17:56 |
| knome | that's the WIP release schedule | 17:56 |
| knome | heh, yeah, i will | 17:56 |
| knome | just saying | 17:56 |
| elfy | :) | 17:56 |
| knome | ochosi, you happy where the UIF landed? | 17:57 |
| knome | ochosi, (week before b1) | 17:57 |
| knome | ochosi, (and 5 before final release) | 17:57 |
| ochosi | knome: think so, yeah | 18:15 |
| knome | good | 18:15 |
| knome | no whining later in the cycle then ;) | 18:15 |
| ochosi | i mean in general i try to get things in early enough | 18:15 |
| ochosi | so in previous cycles it was mostly stuff that ubuntu/canonical changed that affected us too and made late changes necessary | 18:16 |
| knome | yup | 18:16 |
| knome | that's why the freezes are pushed back | 18:16 |
| elfy | and they'll be the ones ignoring the freezes | 18:16 |
| ochosi | and since we don't rely on that so much anymore (as we dropped unico) i don't think it's a problem | 18:17 |
| * elfy said quietly to himself | 18:17 | |
| ochosi | yeah, that happened sometimes | 18:17 |
| knome | elfy, they won't be getting away with it this time. | 18:17 |
| * elfy took a screenshot :p | 18:17 | |
| knome | that's promised by the release team, and if that fails, i will make a lot of noise | 18:17 |
| elfy | good :) | 18:17 |
| knome | it's not only the freezes happening later, it's also less freezes happening, so development can continue uninterrupted | 18:18 |
| elfy | yea - never really affected me for obvious reasons, but it makes a lot of sense logically | 18:19 |
| knome | ok, i'm off for now | 18:22 |
| knome | see you all later | 18:22 |
| knome | and catch you on the weekend for a longer chat, elfy | 18:22 |
| elfy | yep that will be great :) | 18:22 |
