| pancakes9 | hey, i'm a new contributor and need some help getting started | 13:32 |
|---|---|---|
| pancakes9 | anyone around? | 14:48 |
| rbasak | !ask | pancakes9 | 15:10 |
| ubottu | pancakes9: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 15:10 |
| pancakes9 | Can someone guide me (a new contributor) in getting started helping out? | 15:11 |
| ki7mt | pancakes9, a good place to start reading (may as well get used to it, there's lots to read) are the links at the top of the channel. | 15:21 |
| Laney | pancakes9: Yeah, the Contributing link is decent | 15:21 |
| Laney | A good place to start is with a favourite package, if you have one - go to Launchpad, look at its bugs and see if you can help them along | 15:22 |
| Laney | Otherwise we'll need to know what your specific interests are | 15:22 |
| ki7mt | I just started on this as well. I'm working on a new pkg I want to get approved, and it's proving to be a bit of a challenge. | 15:25 |
| ki7mt | Actually, I do have question, while Im here. bzr builddeb v.s debuild and pbuilder .. what's the preferred method? | 15:27 |
| pancakes9 | ki7mt: do you just download the latest ubuntu release and load it in virtualbox? | 15:27 |
| ki7mt | No, Im working on the upstream packages | 15:29 |
| pancakes9 | what are upstream packages? | 15:29 |
| ki7mt | The programs / applications that are non-Ubuntu | 15:30 |
| pancakes9 | ki7mt: how did you jump into that so quickly? | 15:31 |
| ki7mt | No so quickly, been working on those apps for Linux in general for a long time, just now learning how to package for Debian and Ubuntu. | 15:33 |
