[20:01] <Unit193> Speaking of new packages and the process, it seems I should talk here first.  It's very likely we, the Xubuntu team, will be pushing for https://launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/+archive/ubuntu/extras/+sourcepub/8100807/+listing-archive-extra included in Artful (if not seeded than at least there.) so I suppose it might be nice to get an external review.
[20:02] <Unit193> It doesn't have a packaging repo.
[20:05] <rbasak> Unit193: must that be Ubuntu only? Otherwise mentors.debian.net is quite nice for getting packaging reviews.
[20:06] <Unit193> rbasak: I've maintained a few packages, and indeed it is (though lintian is a bit dated there.)  It's not in Debian at least yet, but it is in pkg-xfce's VCS (which both me and Sean are members of.)
[20:07] <rbasak> Unit193: if it can go to Debian, then I'm suggesting that you could get some peer review there, even if it ends up going into Ubuntu ahead of Debian for whatever reason.
[20:10] <Unit193> I'd think it's a bit inappropriate to ask for a package I'm pushing to Ubuntu, and the method I know for peer review there is sponsorship.  I don't want to maintain it outside of the pkg-xfce team myself though.
[20:11] <rbasak> Why aren't you pushing it to Debian first?
[20:12] <rbasak> buster is open and it'll autosync.
[20:13] <tsimonq2> rbasak: I forget, does Ubuntu autosync from Buster or Sid?
[20:13] <rbasak> sid
[20:14] <tsimonq2> That's what I thought.
[20:15] <Unit193> rbasak: I did in the form of pushing it to the team's VCS, but the team is very small and there's currently only one active uploader right now.  There's no telling when that will be gotten to as there's other things sin the queue, and it may well not be this cycle.
[20:16] <rbasak> Unit193: so the only reason it's not going from the VCS to sid is review manpower?
[20:17] <Unit193> As of yet I've heard nothing one way or the other on it, right.
[20:18] <rbasak> IMHO it's entirely appropriate to Debian to put it on mentors.debian.net then. You could even explain your difficulty with reviewing manpower.
[20:22] <Unit193> That seems a bit like circumventing the team and any chance to NACK it, to me. :/
[20:22] <Unit193> Anyway, packaging is very simple, just like any other Xfce plugin.
[20:24] <rbasak> I don't think it's circumventing the team. It's acknowledging that the team is pushed for time, and asking for help. I would be open to both the team and to mentors.d.n about it.
[20:24] <rbasak> You could also ask debian-devel@ for help.
[20:24] <rbasak> Perhaps to grow the team.
[20:26] <tsimonq2> Unit193: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25185954/
[20:26] <tsimonq2> Unit193: Because why not beat those Debian sponsors to the punch :P
[20:28] <Unit193> tsimonq2: ...You really don't need to paste that, but whatever.  It's intended to use dh 9 and autotools-dev, autoreconf doesn't work OOTB with xfce and while the fix is easy enough, nothing is gained this go around with it, also pkg-xfce's adoption of dh 10 is pretty low.  Seems you didn't look closely, it is sorted and wrapped...
[20:30] <tsimonq2> Unit193: *shrug*
[20:30] <tsimonq2> Unit193: Figured I'd ask the question.
[20:30] <tsimonq2> s/question/questions/
[20:31] <Unit193> ...Or paste them in a pastebin and link it, rather.
[20:32] <tsimonq2> Unit193: Didn't want to spam the channel. Whatever, it's done now. :)
