sakrecoer_zequence: i've written one manual test for fontforge... but i hope the latest version will be included in 16.04... i don't think they differe very much, do you think it is a problem if i write it for old version?11:33
zequencesakrecoer_: You can update it for the newer one, if it gets updated. We can do that just at around Debian Import Freeze - check if tests are still valid11:34
sakrecoer_i can't find ross's instruciton on how to file a bugg in debian and where... to get the latest version..11:34
zequenceThe latest version will be automatically synced to Ubuntu once it's out in Debian, up until Debian Import Freeze11:35
zequenceTo file a Debian bug, it's probably best to do from a Debian system. Haven't tried any other way11:36
sakrecoer_yes, but ross told me i have to file a bug in debian to have them package the latest fontforge, so we can have it too11:36
zequenceAh, ok11:36
zequenceWell, ask on the mail list. He should answer pretty quickly. I haven't done that myself, ever11:37
sakrecoer_i will send a mail to list.11:37
sakrecoer_yes!11:37
sakrecoer_:)11:37
sakrecoer_found the mail! and this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages11:51
sakrecoer_looking into it this afternoon! have great monday y'all and read you later!11:52
zequencesakrecoer_: Yes, but that's not fully revelvant in this case11:57
zequencefont-forge already exists as a package. The responsible Debian packagers just needs to bump the source, and release a new version of the package11:58
zequenceUsually, the responsible developers are quite active with this11:58
zequenceIf not, well, you can always offer to join their team and do it yourself11:58
zequenceWe really should do some youtube videos before next release. Just some basic stuff, like how to start jack, and that type of thing12:07
zequenceWe can showcase our stuff through a video as well12:07
zequencesakrecoer_: You could also just contact the responsible packagers by subscribing to their mail list and ask if someone is willing to package it12:15
zequenceBut, be warned. They do their work for Debian - not Ubuntu, and can be a little hard to get along with if they think all you care about is Ubuntu12:16
zequenceBest way is to get involved yourself and see if you can help out. If something is not done for a good long while, that is probably because of someone not finding enough time, or there is a technical problem12:17
zequenceIn case one, it's good to get involved and help out. In case two, it may depend on something you can't control anyway12:17
