[11:33] <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?
[11:34] <zequence> sakrecoer_: 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 valid
[11:34] <sakrecoer_> i can't find ross's instruciton on how to file a bugg in debian and where... to get the latest version..
[11:35] <zequence> The latest version will be automatically synced to Ubuntu once it's out in Debian, up until Debian Import Freeze
[11:36] <zequence> To file a Debian bug, it's probably best to do from a Debian system. Haven't tried any other way
[11:36] <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 too
[11:36] <zequence> Ah, ok
[11:37] <zequence> Well, ask on the mail list. He should answer pretty quickly. I haven't done that myself, ever
[11:37] <sakrecoer_> i will send a mail to list.
[11:37] <sakrecoer_> yes!
[11:37] <sakrecoer_> :)
[11:51] <sakrecoer_> found the mail! and this link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages
[11:52] <sakrecoer_> looking into it this afternoon! have great monday y'all and read you later!
[11:57] <zequence> sakrecoer_: Yes, but that's not fully revelvant in this case
[11:58] <zequence> font-forge already exists as a package. The responsible Debian packagers just needs to bump the source, and release a new version of the package
[11:58] <zequence> Usually, the responsible developers are quite active with this
[11:58] <zequence> If not, well, you can always offer to join their team and do it yourself
[12:07] <zequence> We really should do some youtube videos before next release. Just some basic stuff, like how to start jack, and that type of thing
[12:07] <zequence> We can showcase our stuff through a video as well
[12:15] <zequence> sakrecoer_: You could also just contact the responsible packagers by subscribing to their mail list and ask if someone is willing to package it
[12:16] <zequence> But, 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 Ubuntu
[12:17] <zequence> Best 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 problem
[12:17] <zequence> In case one, it's good to get involved and help out. In case two, it may depend on something you can't control anyway
