| thomi | hey barry, welcome back :) | 22:42 |
|---|---|---|
| barry | thomi: thanks! :) | 22:42 |
| thomi | barry: so I applied to join the DPMT, I figured it'd help me in my packaging efforts, but I haven't heard anything back. I wonder if I need to do anything else? | 22:44 |
| barry | thomi: \o/ | 22:44 |
| barry | thomi: you shouldn't need to, but the team admins were probably all at debconf. if you don't hear anything soon-ish, please re-ping | 22:45 |
| barry | *them :) | 22:45 |
| thomi | ahhh | 22:45 |
| thomi | of course | 22:45 |
| * barry is not a project admin | 22:45 | |
| thomi | plus the long weekend I guess | 22:45 |
| thomi | cool | 22:45 |
| barry | yep, and travel and such. but yay! | 22:45 |
| thomi | so, once I'm on the team, if I wanted to (for hypothetical example) bump python-testtools to the new upstream release, would I still use mentors, since I'm not a DD? | 22:46 |
| thomi | or just push to SVN and ask someone else to ? or? | 22:46 |
| barry | thomi: the next step for you would be to become a DM. then you'd be able to upload team packages, or any package for which you maintain directly. but in the meantime, i think updating the svn and pinging a team member would be the best thing | 22:47 |
| barry | thomi: one of the decisions at debconf is that the team will eventually move to git. we're starting some experiments now, but not doing wholesale transitions | 22:48 |
| thomi | right - I saw the ML conversation... | 22:48 |
| thomi | I can't say I'm thrilled at using either git or svn, but *shrug* | 22:48 |
| thomi | oh, and the hypothetical example above? It wasn't so hypothetical - testtools (finally) released 1.0.0 the other day | 22:49 |
| barry | thomi: yeah. git is for sure better than svn, and i'm actually hating git less these days. a handful of aliases does make the difference, and i suspect in a few months i'll have consumed all the cool aid and will publicly shame and deride anyone who says the git cli sucks | 22:50 |
| thomi | hah | 22:50 |
| barry | thomi: i can certainly help with uploading testtools if you slap the svn into place | 22:50 |
| thomi | well, git, through it's terrible CLI design, still causes me to lose work on a regular basis | 22:50 |
| thomi | a VCS that I have to regularly backup my working folder in order to not lose work is a fail in my opinion | 22:51 |
| barry | thomi: no question, it's horrendous. it was funny, linus lives in portland and came for a q/a session. git did come up, but he claimed its cli wasn't as terrible as it used to be. and i don't think he was joking. ;) | 22:51 |
| barry | "dr. it hurts when i do that" "don't do that" | 22:52 |
| thomi | yeah | 22:52 |
| barry | not so easy when you don't know which command will poke you with a pointy stick | 22:52 |
| barry | sigh. even salmon get sick of swimming upstream for too long | 22:52 |
| thomi | yeah | 22:53 |
