zequence_Rosco2: I came to think about yet another possibility - creating a new team for Debian Multimedia, like ubuntustudio-bugs. Since they have a different set of packages to us21:22
zequence_Rosco2: Possibly, we could just join that team instead21:22
zequence_Rosco2: Also, lp has an API. Been a while since I tried using it. Might be possible to make subscriptions with a script, which would save a lot of time21:23
=== zequence_ is now known as zequence
zequencewe could rename ubuntustudio-bugs debian-multimedia-bugs. If we want to do that21:24
zequenceAnd then create a new team again called ubuntustudio-bugs. All though, if a script could take care of package subscriptions, it would not be a lot of work just creating a new team from scratch, and then do the subscriptions21:25
zequenceWell, just thinking out loud21:25
Rosco2Hmmm. I had been thinking of asking if we could have a small number join the existing Debian Multimedia team on LP.21:26
zequenceRosco2: Does it subscribe to packages?21:27
Rosco2That was based on the fact that we could encourage people to join US-bugs, but they could only do basic triage21:27
Rosco2I thing the Deb-maint team are listed as the maintainer of the packages21:28
Rosco2I was going to ask them if they then have the power to set importance and extra stuff that only "Bug Control" can do.21:29
zequenceAh, right21:30
Rosco2I am listed as maintainer for one package, but I can't do much, so I am not sure21:31
Rosco2API would be useful for the meta packages we know we are interested in.21:32
Rosco2But then I just started looking at ubuntustudio-desktop, and it has lots of stuff we don't need to care about like gedit21:33
Rosco2But some stuff we probably do like alsa-utils21:34
Rosco2I will have a look, and see if it helps with photography etc.21:36
zequenceRosco2: DE stuff is not something we should care about at all21:40
zequenceRosco2: Only the multimedia metas21:40
zequence..as we don't really have our own DE, though ours is slightly custom21:40
Rosco2Yeah - you are right. Skipping that one.21:41
zequenceOur main concern is of course the multimedia packages we distribute, while I could see a point in keeping an eye out for a bigger scope. I would assume debian-multimedia maintains everything there, except for a few things, like pulseaudio21:42
zequencePulseaudio already gest a lot of attention, so we don't really need to do much there, except for jack - pulseaudio integration.21:46
Rosco2I spotted a few packages that come up in audio discussions like pavucontrol & apps like audacious.21:47
Rosco2Maybe I will put it last in the pile incase they are not listed in the other multimedia metas21:49
Rosco2Funny you mention Pulesaudio.21:49
Rosco2I subscribed to that and there a hundreds of bugs.21:49
zequenceRosco2: I suppose any multimedia application in the desktop meta already gets attention. Not sure what would be best there.21:50
zequencepulseaudio is important of course, since it's a core component21:50
Rosco2As the PA - Jack bridge was part of the PA source I was forced to get bugs for the whole lot.21:51
zequenceYeah21:51
Rosco2Will try some of the filters to whittle it down21:51
Rosco2I think you can filter on importance or something like that.21:52
zequenceRosco2: Ah, I remember when trying out the PPA, that getting info on bugs is pretty easy. But, that doesn't help forwarding them, unless someone sets up a bot to forward stuff.21:53
zequenceAlso, we could set up a mail list for that team21:54
zequenceWe used to have a ubuntustudio-bugs at list.ubuntu for a little while, and I tried using that, but came to the conclusion at the time that it wasn't very practical and had that mail list deleted21:55
zequenceAPI, not PPA :P21:56
zequenceIt's a bit too late in the evening for me21:56
zequenceI'm turning in. Catch you later21:56
Rosco2Mailing list is probably good if the team builds up, and we want to help teach each other how to triage21:57
Rosco2Yeah - same here - busy day tomorrow21:57
