| bkerensa | slangasek: is there an appropriate process for taking over an neglected package in Ubuntu? | 18:39 |
|---|---|---|
| slangasek | all Ubuntu packages are collectively maintained; there are no takeovers | 18:40 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: except Firefox | 18:57 |
| bkerensa | its been built by an automated build system for two years | 18:57 |
| bkerensa | and it stops often | 18:57 |
| bkerensa | leaving Firefox outdated and with vulnerabilities | 18:57 |
| bkerensa | the two people who maintained it before stopped awhile ago | 18:58 |
| slangasek | um, no, firefox uploads to Ubuntu are always done by a human Ubuntu developer | 18:58 |
| slangasek | the nightly builds of firefox in a PPA are not "in Ubuntu" | 18:59 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: the uploads ain't happening | 19:22 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/vivid/firefox/vivid | 19:23 |
| bkerensa | just to give you an idea | 19:23 |
| bkerensa | 2012 was the last change | 19:24 |
| slangasek | that's not an upload | 19:24 |
| slangasek | that's an out-of-date bzr branch, which is out of date because the bzr infrastructure is fragile and unmaintained | 19:25 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelogs/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox_33.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1/changelog | 19:27 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: 33 didn't release 13th | 19:27 |
| bkerensa | till the 13th | 19:27 |
| bkerensa | there was no 33 on the 9th | 19:28 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: Also [11:32] <Sylvestre> [06:53:53] Do you know anything about the fx ppa ? Some people told me that they haven't been updated :/ | 19:29 |
| slangasek | what exactly does this have to do with your claim that the package is unmaintained and not being uploaded? | 19:29 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: if the latest 33 is not being shipped why is it called 33 in the changelog? | 19:29 |
| bkerensa | 33 didn't release till the 13th | 19:29 |
| bkerensa | that was pushed earlier | 19:30 |
| bkerensa | not even possible | 19:30 |
| slangasek | that sounds like a problem you should take up with the person who uploaded it, who you just claimed did not exist | 19:30 |
| bdmurray | maybe the +build2 in the firefox version is relevant https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/ | 21:25 |
| sbeattie | bkerensa: all the work that chris coulson, who according to you does not exist, is done in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/ | 22:54 |
