| 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 us | 21:22 |
|---|---|---|
| zequence_ | Rosco2: Possibly, we could just join that team instead | 21:22 |
| 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 time | 21:23 |
| === zequence_ is now known as zequence | ||
| zequence | we could rename ubuntustudio-bugs debian-multimedia-bugs. If we want to do that | 21:24 |
| zequence | And 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 subscriptions | 21:25 |
| zequence | Well, just thinking out loud | 21:25 |
| Rosco2 | Hmmm. I had been thinking of asking if we could have a small number join the existing Debian Multimedia team on LP. | 21:26 |
| zequence | Rosco2: Does it subscribe to packages? | 21:27 |
| Rosco2 | That was based on the fact that we could encourage people to join US-bugs, but they could only do basic triage | 21:27 |
| Rosco2 | I thing the Deb-maint team are listed as the maintainer of the packages | 21:28 |
| Rosco2 | I 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 |
| zequence | Ah, right | 21:30 |
| Rosco2 | I am listed as maintainer for one package, but I can't do much, so I am not sure | 21:31 |
| Rosco2 | API would be useful for the meta packages we know we are interested in. | 21:32 |
| Rosco2 | But then I just started looking at ubuntustudio-desktop, and it has lots of stuff we don't need to care about like gedit | 21:33 |
| Rosco2 | But some stuff we probably do like alsa-utils | 21:34 |
| Rosco2 | I will have a look, and see if it helps with photography etc. | 21:36 |
| zequence | Rosco2: DE stuff is not something we should care about at all | 21:40 |
| zequence | Rosco2: Only the multimedia metas | 21:40 |
| zequence | ..as we don't really have our own DE, though ours is slightly custom | 21:40 |
| Rosco2 | Yeah - you are right. Skipping that one. | 21:41 |
| zequence | Our 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 pulseaudio | 21:42 |
| zequence | Pulseaudio already gest a lot of attention, so we don't really need to do much there, except for jack - pulseaudio integration. | 21:46 |
| Rosco2 | I spotted a few packages that come up in audio discussions like pavucontrol & apps like audacious. | 21:47 |
| Rosco2 | Maybe I will put it last in the pile incase they are not listed in the other multimedia metas | 21:49 |
| Rosco2 | Funny you mention Pulesaudio. | 21:49 |
| Rosco2 | I subscribed to that and there a hundreds of bugs. | 21:49 |
| zequence | Rosco2: I suppose any multimedia application in the desktop meta already gets attention. Not sure what would be best there. | 21:50 |
| zequence | pulseaudio is important of course, since it's a core component | 21:50 |
| Rosco2 | As the PA - Jack bridge was part of the PA source I was forced to get bugs for the whole lot. | 21:51 |
| zequence | Yeah | 21:51 |
| Rosco2 | Will try some of the filters to whittle it down | 21:51 |
| Rosco2 | I think you can filter on importance or something like that. | 21:52 |
| zequence | Rosco2: 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 |
| zequence | Also, we could set up a mail list for that team | 21:54 |
| zequence | We 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 deleted | 21:55 |
| zequence | API, not PPA :P | 21:56 |
| zequence | It's a bit too late in the evening for me | 21:56 |
| zequence | I'm turning in. Catch you later | 21:56 |
| Rosco2 | Mailing list is probably good if the team builds up, and we want to help teach each other how to triage | 21:57 |
| Rosco2 | Yeah - same here - busy day tomorrow | 21:57 |
